Oppo A37M Firmware Flash File (Stock ROM)

If you have bricked your Oppo A37M or run into a software fault, flashing the stock firmware will restore it. The A37M uses a MediaTek processor, so you flash it with the SP Flash Tool. This guide covers the download and the full flashing steps.

A soft brick usually comes from a failed root attempt or flashing the wrong file, and it is common enough on this phone. The good news is that reflashing the stock ROM is straightforward, and the steps below will get the A37M back to working order.

One thing worth knowing: the A37M is the MediaTek MT6750 (octa-core) version of the Oppo A37, which is a different chip from the Snapdragon 410 used in the A37f. The SP Flash Tool method here is for the MediaTek A37M only.

FAQ

Will flashing the stock ROM erase my data?

Yes. Flashing with the SP Flash Tool wipes the phone, so back up your data first.

The SP Flash Tool does not detect my phone. What is wrong?

That is almost always drivers. Install the MediaTek VCOM USB drivers, then power the phone off fully before connecting while holding the volume keys.

Which firmware file should I pick?

The A.26 build is the newest. The A.18 build is an Android 5.1 version. Any A37M build will work; newer is generally better unless you need a specific version.

Does the A37M run on MediaTek or Snapdragon?

The A37M is the MediaTek MT6750 version. The Snapdragon 410 model is the A37f, and this firmware and the SP Flash Tool method do not apply to it.
