Now, this contradicts an earlier assertion. How did you flash and get the phone into TWRP (not Philz)?
Its looking like you might need to find a working phone of the same model to backup afresh
(17-09-2018, 06:26 PM)RMT So, yeah. I think you are confused about the situation so let me explain :
...
I still have the ROM_1 I've dumped with sp flash tool, I think I'll extract that again using WwR (but I'll do that carefully and looking for something wrong if there's that).
And we didn't matter about the sp flash issue, you know, when I have an error after clicking the download button and plugging the powered off phone.
Thanks a lot for that

a dead emmc could cause write failure onto the phone but too early to conclude. you really need to be sure its the TWRP recovery.img you're flashing and also since its boot partition you flashed to, you're to power on the phone normally using only power button
try flashing philz back using this
boot to TWRP recovery > connect the phone to PC > launch adb window on the pc > "adb devices" > if successfully detected then "adb reboot bootloader" > flash philz recovery using fastboot
lastly that SP flash tool you got can't be bypassed unless you have factory firmware from OEM
(18-09-2018, 10:26 AM)RMT Waou, I don't think so that my emmc storage is dead. Because bootloader and recovery is still working. Also, only flashing recovery partition seems to be working. I can always flash either twrp or philz to it.
And yes, I'm really sure that I flash twrp because the file name is twrp.img. And file name of philz recovery is philz.img. I'm also sure that I flash twrp to boot partition and after flashing, instead of press power button, I just type the command : fastboot reboot
And I don't say that because I thought that is not important but I always use your step to switch between twrp and philz.
So, to flash twrp, I do that :
Into philz : Power options > reboot to bootloader > (in fastboot) fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And for flashing philz , I do :
(with twrp on phone) adb reboot bootloader > fastboot flash recovery philz.img
fastboot boot twrp.img

Just needed to clarify because it wasn't making sense that flashing to boot wasn't making any changes yet flashing to recovery was.
Re-process your ROM_1 and lets see how that goes.
On the side, try
Code:fastboot boot twrp.img
(18-09-2018, 06:39 PM)RMT And finally, as I said in my twrp thread, using this code has never worked even when my phone wasn't bricked. For being sure, I retried to flash twrp in boot partition instead of only boot it. But it always boot straight to philz.

For the fastboot boot command, you do not need to apply fastboot reboot because the command should auto boot you into custom recovery, might just take a while.
So this also doesn't work I guess.
This somewhat narrows down to about 3 things
1. Something wrong with the backup
2. A required file or partition isn't being flashed
3. Emmc issue (unlikely)
All that caused this was a system.img so by extension, something might be blocking the system images you're flashing.
According to the XDA guide

Quick questions:
1. Did you attempt rooting (magisk or supersu) after you got into Philz for the first time?
2. Did you successfully flash any file using sp flash tool after the backup?
