Hardware Lock: This tool works only with MediaTek chipsets; it will not function for Qualcomm (Snapdragon), Exynos, or Kirin devices. Device not detected : Ensure the device drivers

Wrong Preloader: Flashing a firmware with the wrong "Preloader" file can permanently hard-brick your device.

Here’s why version 4.8.0 is often recommended even years after its release:

• Flashing fails: Verify that the firmware/ROM is compatible with your device, and try re-flashing with a different version.
• Device stuck in bootloop: Try wiping the device's data and cache, then re-flash the firmware.
