Can't get SP Flash Tool working with Blackview BV5500 to install TWRP Recovery
@alecsx explained to me that I should be using SP Flast Tool with USB connection, not VCOM connection, even though SPFT instructions were to install VCOM drivers (so I assume VCOM was needed).
I already had drivers installed, so set up SPFT with DA file from within SPFT files, and scatter.txt from stock rom files. Then =

turn phone off

Press Vol-Dn + connect usb

SPFT sprang into life &amp; immediately initiated action (be action Readback or Download)


Seems the only part I needed to learn was using USB connection.
