Disclaimer: Remember your actions are solely at your own risk. Wrong flashing method can lead to boot loop or bricked device.

Try any of these methods below;

  2. Download Flashable image from this link
  3. Download Flashify.
  4. Open Flashify and select Recovery image
  5. Locate the downloaded flashable image you downloaded
  6. Then, confirm select. Wait till the process is finished
  7. Now, reboot your phone. Your device can read your SD Card

Method 2: For users with custom recovery

  1. Turn off phone,
  2. Boot into recovery,
  3. Backup your system and data partition, (optional)
