Seems to be a connection problem. Did you hold any button when connecting to PC? Also, what version of SN Writer is this?

Did you source the AP and DB files from a firmware successfully flashed to the phone?

This is a connection issue. The AP & BPL files used could sometimes affect this though. Uninstall all Spreadtrum drivers using USB Deview @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-7660.html then reinstall using https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-827.html

Tried almost everything..uninstalled drivers using usbdview.installed again(not sure why you suggested to install spreadtrum drivers when its a mtk device)..tried different ports.even tried on a newly formatted PC. maui,mtkdroid,soft are working without any problem.
Also looks like there is only one source available for intex aqua dream stock ROM.
Anyway thanks hovatek for replying.

Sorry, I meant Mediatek. Uninstall and reinstall MTK drivers. Also uninstall spd drivers (if present) incase there's a clash.
Although unlikely, try various versions of SN Write tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-15450.html
If that doesn't work then you'll need different db files
