I’ve tried to but now my pc doesn’t recognize my phone. I did the testpoint method and I get the sound but it becomes a loop. I worked for about 4 seconds then I got an error on SPFlash. I checked the rom, it is correct.

I don’t know what else can be done other than testpoint method and finding another rom. Sorry.

i know this is time consuming for you but please take a look at this to file these are the only info i could take out from my phone also i don’t know the manufacture it’s unknown but the thing is i want to root this phone so i need i think rom to replace and use it in droid tool to root.

ParticipantJust one question, if leave RECOVERY checked, does it mean that CWM will be overwrited with factory recovery, so it means that we will not be able to go back if something goes wrong…?

Memberzodoma is it possible that you’ve flashed an incompatible rom? If you are sure that your rom is compatible or if you find a compatible rom, what happens when you try to flash it again? If it is flashable, you should be able to recover it with a correct rom image for your telephone.
If SP flash tool does not work, try booting into recovery mode. If recovery mode works, you can find a rom for sdcard flash and flash it from the recovery mode. Please note that SP flash tool roms and sdcard flash roms are different.

There is a risk that you make a mistake and brick your phone. It is possible to create scatter.txt file using MTK Droid Tools. You can download it from the forum. Check those links below for tutorials:

Now you have to find a good ROM and flash it if it is still flashable by using either recovery or SP flash tool. -
