QMobile i8i Boot Key:
What is boot key? This hardware button that we are to connect phone in boot mode. We mostly using boot key to flash SPD phones. In some cases we need to press boot key also for MTK Android phones. Due to some changes in new SPD Android phones, boot key has been changed. I have noticed that QMobile i8i boot key has changed also which is now only Volume Up key. In previous SPD android phones The boot key was [Volume -] + [Volume +] key.
How to find boot key? In most of Android phone we have noticed that we need Vol Up + Vol Down key to connect phone for service purpose. But in some cases in different phones like SPD Featured phones this method not work. So now we need to find boot key for that phone, We will connect phone by pressing different keys one by one and when phones connected successfully we will see Serial port in device manager. But sometimes this method also fails then we need Boot Cable for SPD and MTK Phones.
