I Already Tried Flashing Using The MTK Bypass Which Solved The Issue Of No Auth File, But The Last Error Is Still Persistent, It Comes On When It's About To Load The Flash Files (The Progress Bar Becomes Yellow).

(15-04-2021, 11:00 AM)X3non try flashing the rest of the firmware one after the other
after flashing a file, you only need to run mtk bypass main py then hold your boot key + power button until it's detected by main.py
then flash the next
lets know the outcome
(15-04-2021, 05:55 PM)Yoruba_bug Hi, I Just Did That And It Turned Out That The Issue Was With Two Files (tkv and tranfs), Once I Unchecked Those Two Files, The Phone Got Flashed Successfully.
(15-04-2021, 05:55 PM)Yoruba_bug Now I Have An Error WIth The NVRAM, Which I Couldn't Backup Because The Phone Wasn't Rooted At The Time, At The Top Of The AP Lists In The Wifi Selection Window, It Shows NVRAM ERR 0x01, I've Searched For Guides On How To Fix It And They All Point To An Nvram Folder In /data Which Doesn't Exist On My Device.
(15-04-2021, 05:55 PM)Yoruba_bug Also Tried Using SN Writer Tool, But The AP_DB File Is Invalid (There Are Two Of Them In The ROM Zip), But They Both Don't Work, I Don't Know What Else To Do.
(16-04-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non you didn't need to flash these two files for the phone to boot up?
(16-04-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non if you have access to another working phone of this same model, you could backup it's nvram file
writing a valid mac address might fix this
(16-04-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non is there an error when you use the DB file from the firmware?
you could try using modem meta, see if it's able to use the DB files from within the phone
(16-04-2021, 10:19 AM)X3non alternatively you could extract super.img then extract system.img and look for the DB file within
