Are you sure that the mtk preloader drivers are installed properly? That error you are getting looks like a failure to communicate. Here's how to check if all the drivers are installed.

Open device manager, unplug your phone, remove the battery, plug the usb cable into the phone, plug cable into computer (keep a close eye on device manager). If a device called MT65xx prealoader pops up (with an exclamation mark) and then disappears, you need to find the VCOM drivers for your phone and install them - they will allow SP Flash Tools to properly communicate with the phone.

How about this...

>>Remove phone battery
>>Open SP Flash Tools
>>Load Android Scatter file
>>Press 'Download' in SP Flash Tools
>>Plug USB cable to phone (without battery)
>>Plug cable to computer
>>SP flash tools should start showing some progress bars at the bottom
>>Insert the battery as soon as the red progress bar comes up

I hope doing that will enable you to complete the download process.

The sounds u are hearing means that your computer recognises your phone but then loses connection with it. So its definetely a driver issue. I had the same problem. No need to format your computer yet. First download the "All MTK USB driver 2014" package from here and install everything in it. EVERYTHING... thats all exe's (the ones that fit your version of windows ofc), in all 3 folders & subfolders. Thats what worked for me (win 7 64bit).

That's a good sign - shows that we are making some progress. I don't think it's necessary to format your PC.

Here's what you should do next... Have device manager open and as soon as you connect the phone to PC, look at the device manager for a device that appears and then disappears when you connect the phone. We need to figure out what drivers are needed to make the device stay connected. Do this process with the battery connected to the phone and then without the battery.

You have to find the drivers for your devices and install them manually using this procedure. I think PdaNet is easier but it doesn't always have the drivers for your phone but it's definitely worth a try.

You should install drivers using Windows device manager. If there is a device without a driver (denoted by an exclamation point), double-click the device to get to its properties page.

>Go to driver tab
>Select "update driver"
>Browse my computer for driver software
>In the driver location, press 'browse'
>Navigate to the folder with drivers for the device
>Select the driver folder your OS version (Win7 64-bit)
>Click OK to select the folder
>Click next

Windows should now install the drivers.

You should also look for the drivers the PC was unable to install, download, and install them.

You are most welcome. We are glad we could help. Personally I have bricked more phones than I can count but the silver lining is that they can always be restored as long as it's just software that has gone bad. Cheers
