VCOM Drivers are specific USB Drivers to detect MediaTek phones on Windows-based computers. The driver allows users to flash Firmware on bricked phones and also allows modifications of MediaTek phones. It helps Windows PC to detect MediaTek phones even without a battery.
The VCOM Driver is for Windows 10 32 bit and Windows 10 64 bit operating systems along with other Windows versions. After downloading the driver, follow the given guide to install VCOM Driver on your PC. The installation process is different than common executable files. So, it is recommended to follow the guide.
Check out the Windows version (32 bit or 64 bit) in the system properties. And if you have Windows 10 64 bit, then you have first to disable driver signature enforcement. No need to disable driver signature enforcement on Windows 10 32 bit.
First, download the appropriate driver from the given link. Transfer the downloaded Driver to your Windows PC and then Install it on your system. You can follow the step-by-step mentioned in the guide.

I ran into a problem when using Silicon Labs' CP2102 USB-UART bridge controller. Silicon Labs offers an application for changing USB related configuration values (PID,VID,Device Description...) so I changed the VID value to the ones assigned to me by the USB-IF Administration. All fields appear to have been correctly updated (I ca see that in Device Manager) but Windows reports that there are no drivers available. Before changing the VID/PID and device description everything worked well.
Any idea how to tell Windows to use the same drivers as before? Is it possible or perhaps even normal for a driver to be tied to a specific VID/PID and by changing it I basically "broke" the controller unless I write my own drivers?
Take a look at the Driver Customization Wizard (AN220SW). If you create a driver with a matching VID and PID as your customized device you can get it to load again (as well as re-customize back to default, or something else). The documentation for this is in Application Note 220.
Now we need to remove the device that we have installed but leave the drivers in the operating system.
To do that, in the Device Manager window we expand Ports (COM & LPT) section
Hello!
I have been trying to install the Mediatek Vocom Drivers for some days now. Anytime they are installed, a yellow warning triangle appears besides the driver name in Device Manager. and when I connect the device, to the PC using a USB cable, the device charges only.
What have ii been doing wrong?
hello, when I use SP flash with windows 10, The progress bar is ok but action is not ended. I tried with windos 7 it is ok
The SPF recognizes phone, start flashing but did not end the process
some body has an idea please
I tried with differents phones, it is always the same result
Thanks for advance
Marc
Hi,
I was able to install the driver and flash the phone as described, screen is working except the bottom 2 cm is not responsive.
Anyone with same experience and workaround?
ps. my phone elephone p9000
hi!!!!, i install driver ok, but i have a leeco le2 hard bricked in preloader mode, my problem is when i conect the phone the sp flash tool say me STATUS_BRUM_CMD_STARTCMD_FILE (0XC0060001). and the process finally. can you hel me?
I got an issue i im trying to flasing the Ulefone Future.
I installed the MKT Usb port drivers with no issue. But when i open the Flash tool v. 3.1552 and click on scan and put my phone into the usb.
It only pops up once in Device Manager but the Flash Tool does not see any Com ports. ?
Normally all the drivers will be installed if you select either of them from the list at install, as the import in the operating system is being made at *.inf file level, so the files you download from above on this page contain all those drivers as a pack anyways. Just follow the tutorial and you will have all those device drivers in your system. They will activate automatically if proper device is being detected/in use.
Hi! If you were to let the device you install installed it wold be just a useless device in your Device Manager. What you actually need is the device drivers to be present in your system so that when you connect the real device to your computer it will use those drivers. That is why I said to let the box unchecked so the fake device is removed but the drivers are being left in the system, ready to kick in when you connect your device to your computer in download mode.
after developing the firmware for a composite USB application (AUDIO + CDC_VCOM) for an STM32F446 device, I'm facing strange behaviour in the driver side for Windows (I've tested both 10 and 8 with the same results) - Linux and MacOs works out of the box.
It seems that windows only sees the first device in the descriptor (AUDIO), install the standard drivers, and then fails to identify the CDC_VCOM device as the PID of the parent is detected as a generic "USB\VID_203A&PID_FFFE\PW3.0" without any &MI_00/&MI_01/&MI_02 identifier of composite device.
Above the events from system information when the device is connected:
I've tried also a solution I've found from another developer (for a HID + CDC device). He suggested to mod the VCOM driver from STM ( -tools/stsw-stm32102.html) to add the &MI_xx child device of the composite and also install a dsinst_***.exe afterwards, but again no luck and same not working result.
Here is the link of it's repository: -composite-hid-cdc
This issue occurs because the USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) isn't classified as a generic driver in Windows 10 Version 1703. Therefore, the system assumes that a compatible, nongeneric driver is installed for the device even though the driver is generic.
The CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers are required for device operation as a Virtual COM Port to facilitate host communication with CP210x products. These devices can also interface to a host using the direct access driver.
The CP210x Manufacturing DLL and Runtime DLL have been updated and must be used with v 6.0 and later of the CP210x Windows VCP Driver. Application Note Software downloads affected are AN144SW.zip, AN205SW.zip and AN223SW.zip. If you are using a 5.x driver and need support you can download Legacy OS Software.
If the above didn't help or you already have the drivers installed and you still have no contact to the control system, go into device manager and delete all of the ports in the Ports (COM LPT) section.
Then, disconnect and reconnect the control system and wait for the driver to automatically install.

Basically, VCOM USB drivers are required at the time of flashing firmware files on the Android smartphone. When the user decides to flash the firmware file on their device, then it might be a genuine case that requires VCOM drivers. VCOM USB Drivers are mostly used for detecting MediaTek devices.
VCOM drivers provide the compatibility interface between your computer and a smartphone. The third-party software used for flashing the firmware file finds it hard to detect your particular smartphone. At that spot, VCOM USB driver helps your computer to allow the software to detect the smartphone.
The serial interface terminal is used as a normal Windows COM interface. Using this in conjunction with the KPA Virtual Serial COM driver and the KPA EtherCAT Master allows a user to communicate with a serial device from their Windows application through a Virtual COM port. Master transmits data got from the serial interface terminal to the application and back.
The serial interface terminal enables the connection to the serial device. To configure the terminal, KPA provides the Virtual Serial COM plug-in. It allows a user to enable serial interface usage, to specify required COM settings and assign the number of Virtual COM port that will be used for communication.
KPA Virtual COM driver is available for Windows, INtime and RTX64 operating systems. It is provided as a separate module and can be installed independently of Master. It is not required additional configuring with COM settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, etc.).
Through this page, you can download the latest version of the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers for Android devices with the MT65xx, MT67xx, and MT68xx chipsets. Further, we will also guide you on how to install the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers on any Windows 11-to-XP PC using two different methods.
So, you would need to install the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers (or MediaTek Preloader Drivers) on your PC to be able to flash firmware files on any MTK Android device using the SP Flash Tool. This can allow you to flash the stock ROM for unbricking the device or upgrading the software on it. It can even help you install custom binaries like TWRP recovery, Magisk Root, and more.
Below, you will find the links to download the latest MediaTek USB VCOM drivers for devices with MT65xx, MT67xx, and MT68xx chipsets. Choose the driver package according to the installation method you prefer to use.
