Good day, I'm very new here, please pardon me if I'm breaking any rules.
I just got the tecno w4 with build number W4-AW875A1-M-161010v10
I tried to root it by following a guide I saw online but I bricked it along the way.
I was able to then flash it with ROM W4-AW875A-A1-M-20160603 with sp flash tool.
I flashed till the end where it said Download ok but the phone never came one, it was like it was still bricked.
Now when i try to reflash using the same ROM W4-AW875A-A1-M-20160603, it gives me error BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0)
I've read a few posts online, turns out that ROM W4-AW875A-A1-M-20160603 wasn't compatible with my particular version.
is it possible someone provide me with ROM W4-AW875A1-M-161010v10 so I can flash my phone using sp flash tool?

And if I'm successful in bringing the phone back to life, how do I root it?

Cheers.

That error is a compatibility error (refer to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-439.html ) . The error might've interrupted flashing and caused the phone to go dead. To revive it, follow the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-808.html
Now, during your first rooting attempt, what exactly went wrong and in what way was the phone bricked (how was it behaving)?

At first I tried flashing twrp 3.0 recovery on it to enable me install SuperSU but it didn't detect the phone and upon pulling out it didn't boot.
So I dismantled it and removed the battery
Then I flashed W4-AW875A-A1-M-20160603 on it thinking it didn't detect cos of the stock ROM on it.
It flashed the W4-AW875A-A1-M-20160603 ROM successfully but when I try to turn on, no response again.
Then I tried to reflash W4-AW875A-A1-M-20160603 then started to get BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0).

So now I figured I'd need W4-AW875A1-M-161010v10

Fortunately for me my neighbor uses same phone and his ROM is W4-AW875A1-M-161010v10 so I backed up his ROM without userdata Using miracle box.

I'm sacred to flash the phone with this back up ROM .
Should i go ahead?
