I just did.  No response from sp tools.  Still remains @ 0%.
Usb still not recognised

you'll need to have the battery taken out so you can proceed with flashing then

here's what you'll do. right-click unknown device then select update driver. in the wizard that pops up, select the preloader vcom driver as in https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.html then proceed to finish installation
when done, try flashing the phone using sp flash tool again

Am glad to announce dat my 1 week dead fone is back on after continious charging of 6 days!
Here is hw.....
EVERYDAY since Friday, i kept charging n retryin driver installation and flashing wt difgerent pc, sp tools version, and usb cables bt nothing happened. Pc kept showing "usb not recognised"
All hope was lost bt 2day, thursday(7 days after it was dead), I plugged ma fone to d pc, hoping to see d usual "usb not recognised" message frm d pc bt, guess wat i saw... Automatic "installation of preloader vcom driver" den ma fone came on wt jux 1%. With so much anticipation, i ddint remove it from d pc until i loaded sp flash tool and started d download.
Lo and behold, d flashing started n completed. I turned on the fone n nw it is on. Am charging it cus it has jux 1% battery remaining.
I really wanna thank every1 that contributed n gave me hope n advices.
Most especially HOVATEK ADMIN(S) who neva relented in assisting me.
I say a very BIG THANK YOU!
AM SO HAPPY. AM BACK ONLINE WITH MA FONE
