downloaded the firmware from
https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-311.html (the one with the miracle box)... Is it possible to completely remove the current firmware on my phone and flash in the one I downloaded from the site.
(24-09-2018, 10:51 PM)Oludotun My build number is W2-AW600B1-M-160902V12... There's no exact one among the three that are on the site

best not to fully flash any of those firmwares as they don't fully match your build number BUT here is what you can try
dump the current firmware of your device in scatter file format using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
then flash ONLY recovery.bin from the miracle box firmware you downloaded -- boot to recovery and see if the stock recovery works
if it doesn't then flash back recovery.bin from your backup
if it works, then you could try flash ONLY boot and system from the firmware you downloaded, once successful then boot to recovery and perform a factory reset then see if the phone can boot to homescreen
lets know the outcome of this
PS: you're to flash using miracle box guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-14106.html
BTW can you get access to a working w2 with this build number "W2-AW600B1-M-160902V12" that has not been rooted?
