where you able to successfully flash twrp or the flashing process ended with an error?
and have you tried disconnecting / reconnecting the battery?

thanks for your reply sir.
yes please, i was able to flash it successfully, but after i flashed it, i couldn't turn it on again.
anyway i haven't tried disconnecting the battery, but am suspecting the preloader is corrupted.
and unfortunately sp flash is not giving me the chance to flash a new one.
please help me sir, i don't know what am about now.

Try these;
Hold power button for 2mins
If it doesn't work, you have to open the cover and disconnect , then reconnect the battery.

Tell us how many files you flashed the first time; i.e was it only recovery in the folder or it came along with boot and preloader

answer @emmanus's question
and also tell which option you used in sp flash tool to flash the file[s] --download only, firmware upgrade, format all + download

if you used -download only option in sp flash tool and the file flashed was only recovery.img then the phone is just stuck in flash mode

if its only recovery then you shouldn't need to flash firmware.
have you disconnected / reconnected the battery of the device? [you'll need to loosen the back cover of the device to get to the battery]

When asking for help, you should be able to accept the help when given. You should disconnect and econnect your battery, the phone will come on after that if really you flashed ONLY recovery. Then we can help you get the phone to boot completely.

If all you flashed was recovery.img using downlaod only then there shouldn't be any need to flash a full firmware as @x3non and @emmanus have said, simply refer to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-808.html ...unless you're not telling the whole story.

What option did you select when flashing the recovery. You need to tell us more so we can help.

Concerning the sp flash tool & miracle box errors, lets see full screenshots of both. Also where did you get the firmware you're trying to flash and what's the build number
I suggest you put a hold on further flashing attempts till we figure out your present situation.
