Hey,
I got a new firmware, this is for Cherry Mobile Thunder, this is not for Thunder 2.0, this is for Cherry Mobile Thunder only. This is flashable via Flashtool. There is a tutorial below that you can follow. Hope you fix your phone:)
“Download these files”
Firmware Here –>Cherry Mobile Thunder
VCOM Driver –>VCOM Manual
Alternative Driver –> AutoInstaller
“Use WinRar or 7zip to extract the firmware”
“Extract the files to your desired folder”
“If you encounter error in flashtool, use different version of it.”
Installing Driver with AutoInstaller
First try the Alternative Driver, which is the AutoInstaller. Just open the install.exe then it will automatically install the driver. To fully check if the driver is correctly installed in your computer.
Follow these steps:
- Turn off your phone (always powered off is a must)
- Press and hold volume up or down, or you can simple press the two button
- Insert your USB cable without releasing the VOLUME button(s).
- In your computer, it must detect your phone and it will install the MTK Preloader or Mediatek USB VCOM driver.
- Repeat 1 to 4 if it does not detect your phone.
- If MTK Preloader/Mediatek USB VCOM Driver is installed you are good to go in flashing your phone ^_^

Flashing
3. After you load the file, press Press Download to Flash your Phone.
- Turn off your phone (always powered off is a must)
- Press and HOLD volume UP or Down or you can simply press it simultaneously
- Insert your USB cable without releasing the VOLUME button(s).
- Keep on repeating until Flashtool detected your phone.
5. If successfully detected just wait until the progress bar reaches 100%. If your phone did not automatically turn on after flashing, remove battery and USB cable. And put back your battery then turn on your device.
Some workarounds:
- Load the scatter file
- Choose Format all + Download (Underneath Scatter-loading file)
- Then Click Download and wait until it is done flashing
Restore yong IMEI in MTKDroidTools version 2.5.3. You will have this error when you format your phone in Flashtool as I had experienced. To restore download MTKDroidTools version 2.5.3 After you extract the file. Open the green robot, you must enable the usb debugging in your phone. It is usually located in Settings>Devoloper Mode then look for usb debugging. After enabling it. Connect your phone in your computer then in MTKDroidTool click on ROOT. Wait for it to finish, then Click in IMEI/NVRAM, input 15 number in each box. Then click REPLACE. Then click Reboot or you can manually turn off your phone. Then turn your phone on again. You can see that you have fully restored your IMEI.
I hope this tutorial help you. Please drop a comment if something is not clear to you.
