Have you been seeing Select boot mode when you try booting your MTK Android phone? Well, some MTK users have complained about their MTK Android phones not booting normally when they press the power button. Instead, their phones boot straight into boot mode with the cursor / arrow automatically scrolling up and down, thereby, not allowing to select any option. Phones in such a situation also can't boot into recovery mode. Many of such cases are linked to faulty boot / recovery partitions.
