You typically need this file in four critical scenarios:
| Attribute | Value | |-----------|-------| | Device | Xiaomi Redmi 6 | | Codename | cereus | | SoC | MediaTek MT6762 (Helio P22) | | Architecture | ARMv8-A (64-bit) | | Preloader path in firmware | preloader_cereus.bin | | Typical size | 328,816 bytes (~321 KB) | | Load address | 0x00100000 (DRAM) | | Entry point | 0x00100040 |
This often happens when the preloader is partially corrupted. You need to use the "SP Flash Tool - Firmware Upgrade" option instead of "Download", or use a test point (shorting specific pins on the motherboard) to force BROM mode.
