PLEASE HELP With New Version of the Qin F21, Different Hardware and ROM

@Nooch Hi, I’m hoping you can help me identify the correct firmware for my Qin AI Life F21 Pro.

Device:

  • Qin AI Life F21 Pro
  • 4 GB RAM / 64 GB storage
  • MT6761
  • Blue USB-C port
  • Purchased in Israel
  • Serial: F21PL…

I followed the guide and flashed the 3.0.2 GApps firmware with SP Flash Tool. During the flash I received:

STATUS_SEC_IMG_TYPE_MISMATCH (0xC002002A)

After that, the phone no longer boots. Windows now detects it as a MediaTek device that repeatedly connects and disconnects (preloader loop).

I connected with MTKClient on macOS and got:

  • SBC: False
  • SLA: False
  • DAA: False

So BootROM is accessible, but the phone won’t boot anymore.

Could you please tell me which stock firmware/revision matches this hardware and the best way to recover it? I don’t mind wiping the phone completely.

i had the same issue with a phone bought in israel. theres something strange about the israel version that dont allow flashing

very confusing because the S/N and the blue charger port are a match for the 3.0.2 but…

I’m not familiar with all models but from reading on the forum, it seems there is a uncommon weird untested version.

Nothing to do with Israel though. They’re all created in China. Me and many people bought phones in Israel and flashed them.

You flashed the wrong ROM

3.02 support only with a orange port not blue
