How to identify the chip set of the phone and install drivers

As we mentioned the types of chip sets we can find among our phones and now is the time you identify them.

You need Windows PC and corresponding USB cable for the phone you are trying to flash

For Windows 10, 8.1, 8. 7, Vista and XP click start and open my computer or you can direct open file manager from desktop and right click (option) at My computer or This Pc

Here hover your mouse to manage as shown above, then select manage. If there will be a popup window which asks you to give a permission to manage your Pc just click yes or other wise wait for it to open.

After the computer management opened now on your left panel click Device manager, make sure you mark any unknown device on your right panel. Unknown devices are those with yellow marker so that when you insert the phone only added marker will stand for your new inserted phone.

Now power off your phone and then insert the USB cable while looking for any new unknown device showing, If it is either MTK, SPD (SCI) or Quallicomm(QHSUB) it will show like one of the following on the phone

Note: the photo above shows the all three chip set phones are inserted at the same time.
If the phone starts to charge remove it and hold volume down while inserting usb and look again, if not shown then remove the phone, disconnect the battery and reinsert it and hold both volume up and volume down while you insert the USB cable and look. You should see one of the above drivers

Voilah...... the chip set identified.
But why does it shows the yellow marker on it? it is because your computer does not have the drivers for your inserted phone so don't panic and follow my next tutorial on how to install phone drivers for flashing
