How To Unbrick Tecno F7 Smartphone
About a week ago, a friend rooted his Tecno Phantom A smartphone. He was so excited about the endless possibilities to customize his device so he kept installing a lot of applications that caught his attention unaware of the dangers some apps can create on rooted smartphones.
Finally, he installed an application called Font Changer Lite and that was when it all happened.
After installing this app, his phone attempted to reboot and instead of booting normally, the phone froze at the Tecno logo.
It wasn0‰9000ƒ5t going passed that state. He couldn0‰9000ƒ5t boot into his phone.
Practically, his phone was bricked and had
to look for a way to unbrick and use his
phone again.
If you are presently in the same limbo state as described, please follow the instructions below step by step to fix your device. I recommend reading through first before actually starting the process.

all zipped files.
