boot.img , EBR1, logo.bin, MBR, Mt6572_Android_scatter, preloader.bin, recovery.img, system.img
good. Now flash these files to your phone (that's the ones inside the !files to flash folder) . To do this, ensure to load scatter files from the !files to flash folder which contains preloader.bin . lets know how it goes
I flash these files to my phone but that stay the same screen!

Solution:
* Give up to 5 minutes because first boot takes time
* Boot the phone into recovery mode then wipe data / factory reset
* Remove the battery for 30 seconds then slot back in

* Try a firmware / ROM from another source
Phone shows white screen, strange colors or divided screen after flashing
Message: You can see the phone responding to buttons and making sound but all is blurred by white screen
* Solution: The ROM / Firmware you flashed is incompatible, get from another source (especially boot.img , logo.bin and uboot.bin / lk.bin )
Phone automatically disconnecting during flashing
Message: The phone makes the disconnecting sound just as flashing begins, interrupting the process
Solution:
* Try a different USB cord and USB port
* Try Flashing the ROM without battery inside the phone
* Try holding down the Volume decrease (you could try volume increase or both) while connecting the phone to PC for flashing
Sp Flash tool remains at 0%

Meaning: The files you're trying to flash do not belong to or are not compatible with the phone you're trying to flash them to
Solution:
* Ensure you're using the correct files. If you're sure they are, then try formatting before flashing again
Initialize scatter failed
Message: Error: Initialize scatter file failed. Please check the scatter file name you load is legal
Meaning: SP Flash tool doesn't accept the name format of your scatter file
Solution:
* Ensure the scatter file wasn't renamed. If you're certain it wasn't, try a higher version of SP Flash tool
Error 8038
Message: Error 8038! Android download pmt is ready and layout has been changed
Meaning: SP Flash tool is having trouble writing to certain partitions due to some incompatibility
Solution:
* Format the phone in SP flash tool (Do not format Bootloader) then try flashing the files again using Download
* If Download doesnt work then do a firmware upgrade
* If the MTK backup contains more than one scatter file, retry flashing with the other scatter file.
* If that isn't feasible, try formatting first or use firmware upgrade
* If that doesn't work, open the scatter file using Notepad++ and change __NODL_FAT to FAT by removing "__NODL_" .
Error 4032
Message: BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail
Meaning: SP Flash tool is unable to enable DRAM / communicate effectively with the device
Solution:
* Ensure that the file(s) you're trying to flash are actually for your exact phone model
* Uninstall vcom, preloader and MTK drivers using usbdeview then manually re-install using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-440.html
* Delete the sp flash tool folder then re-extract
* Ensure the phone is switched off (with battery still inside) before connecting to PC for flashing.
* If that doesn't work, keep holding down the volume decrease button just before connecting the phone to PC for flashing (you could try volume increase , power + volume decrease or power + volume increase).
* Consider using the latest version of Sp Flash tool
* Format the phone before trying to flash the file(s) again
Error 5056
Message: BROM ERROR : S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE (5069)

Error 4001
Message: S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE or
Meaning: SP flash tool is having difficulty communicating with the device
Solution:
* Change the USB-port and transfer SP Flash Tool to the root of your main hard drive ( C: ) then run as admin
* Ensure to install the correct drivers (see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-440.html )
Sp flash tool was successful but phone's calibration doesn't work
Message: Soft keys and touch screen don't work / respond
Solution:
* Edit the scatter file using Notepad++ and remove NODL__ (or set is_download: false to is_download: true ) in front of the items you have in the backup folder but aren't listed when you load the scatter file in SP flash tool. This way, these items will become listed when next you load the scatter file (after saving of course) and therefore flashable
