You are most likely to see this error if you own an Android device with one of the following chipsets:
: Always use the most recent version available from reputable sources like the Hovatek Forum or SP Flash Tool official. Support for newer MT68/Dimensity chipsets is often added in newer minor revisions.
Ensure you extract the utility into a shallow root directory on your drive (e.g., C:\SP_Flash_Tool\ ) to avoid long file path truncation bugs. 2. Update MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers
: Ensure the firmware package you are using is specifically designed for your exact device model and its chipset (MT68xx).
Check that your firmware extraction contains the exact scatter configuration matching your device.
To understand the error, let’s dissect it:
This is the most frequent culprit. If you are trying to flash a recovery (like TWRP) or a custom ROM built for an older chipset onto a newer Dimensity device, the bootloader will reject the image.
If you are currently running SP Flash Tool version 5.xx, you will immediately encounter the MT68 unsupported error. Version 5 cannot parse the newer XML scatter file layouts used by modern MediaTek devices. Download and use SP Flash Tool V6 or later.
