(31-07-2019, 02:20 PM)X3non you dont need to discharge the battery in order to flash, infact you need the battery charged
you already have firmware for your build number the one labelled miracle box, so try this
download only scatter file from the factory / signed firmware @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19383.html
copy it into the miracle backup then use sp flash tool to flash
lets know the outcome

You can do either of two things to bring it back to life.
One hold volume+ button and connect to pc. Then it will say phone is in meta mode. long press power to reboot. do it and you get back your phone
Else wait till battery is fully discharged. Then connect it to PC. with viacom preload drivers it will be recognised and then you can reload firmware.
Let me know how it goes
(01-08-2019, 04:19 AM)Raopiplus Just remove battery (if it is removable ) and try connecting to computer with volume-(down) button with proper drivers loaded. It should work.Yes, I've done that too, I removed the battery and reconnected the battery to my phone, then I pressed and hold the volume (pressed +ve and connected to laptop, and then -ve and connected to laptop; in different cases) button and connected to the computer, i only noticed that the driver appeared and disappeared faster on the device manager. Nothing changes with the phone
Any response from computer when you connected (with Volume+ button with battery ) TO COMPUTER?

(01-08-2019, 10:48 AM)BenzalfI actually earlier tried to use a lower version of sp flash tool. Version 3.1316 to be precise, I've retried it now again with X3non's method and I keep getting the same error message immediately the scatter file is loaded.(01-08-2019, 09:27 AM)finnest i only noticed that the driver appeared and disappeared faster on the device manager.

Hi, Finest. It doesn't seem like your drivers are bad.
In fact SP Flash tool is able to detect that the storage type in the firmware and that of your phone don't match.
Some people claimed using a lower version of SP Flash tool worked for them, particularly SPFt version 3.
Please try that with X3non's method and let's see how it goes.

(01-08-2019, 02:28 AM)finnest I did exactly as instructed; downloaded only the scatter file from the factory / signed firmware, copied it to the firmware tagged "miracle box" and used sp flash tool to flash. I've attached a picture of the mismatch error message that popped up
(01-08-2019, 01:09 PM)X3non might be a hardware problem but try the fixes for the error message @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-439.htmlYes, I also checked the fixes and this is what I get for that particular error
(01-08-2019, 01:22 PM)finnest ...That's why I requested for another sp flash tool link to use because that version is the latest I can find on the sp flash tool version 3 list
