🔧 Vivo Y18i & Y18T (SPD CPU) Auth Protected Solution – Use Test Point + AMT Format+FRP File (2nd Method)
Are you stuck with Vivo Y18i or Vivo Y18T phones that are not formatting, stuck on lock screen, or showing FRP lock (Google Account Lock)? Don’t worry! In this post, we are giving you a 100% working solution for devices using Spreadtrum (SPD) CPU – using test point method + AMT tool + format+frp file (2nd method).
📱 About the Problem – Auth Protection in SPD Devices
Vivo has now added strong Auth protection in their new SPD-based phones like Y18i and Y18T. This means:
- You cannot use normal tools like SPD Research Tool or Fastboot.
- You will see errors like “Handshake failed”, or the tool will get stuck.
- Even if you try flashing, it won’t pass without Auth server.
That’s why you need to bypass Auth using a special method. And the good news is – we have a tested and working solution for you.
🛠️ What You Will Need
- Vivo Y18i or Y18T (with SPD CPU)
- Test Point access on the motherboard
- AMT Tool (Android Multi Tool – latest version)
- Special Format + FRP file (2nd method)
- SPD USB drivers installed
- Patience and careful hands

⚡ Step-by-Step Guide (Human Style)
✅ Step 1: Open Your Phone and Find the Test Point
- Power off the phone completely.
- Open the back panel carefully.
- Search for the Test Point near the CPU or battery connector.
- Use tweezers or a metal pin to short the test point to ground.
Note: Every model has a different test point. Be gentle and use proper lighting. Don’t damage the board.
✅ Step 2: Connect Phone to PC in Test Point Mode
- While holding the test point, plug the USB cable into the phone.
- The PC will detect the phone as SPD Diag/Loader port.
- Now you are ready for formatting.
✅ Step 3: Run AMT Tool (No Auth Needed)
- Open AMT Tool on your computer.
- Load the provided Format + FRP file.
- Choose "Format / Reset FRP" option in the tool.
- Click Start and wait for the magic!
✅ Within seconds, the tool will clear the FRP lock, user data, and pattern/PIN – without flashing full firmware or using official Auth.
🔒 Why Use This Method?
- ✔️ No Need to Flash Full ROM
- ✔️ No Auth Login Required
- ✔️ Works on SPD CPU Devices (Y18i, Y18T)
- ✔️ Tested on multiple phones
- ✔️ Safe for beginners (if test point is done properly)
📷 Bonus Tip – Test Point Image

⚠️ Important Warnings
- ⚠️ Don’t try this on MTK-based models – this method is for SPD CPU only.
- ⚠️ Don’t remove any resistors or jumpers if you’re unsure – just use test point only.
- ⚠️ Always charge your phone battery at least 50% before doing any operation.
