It was all flash using version 3

it just flashes white screen then goes black again and again…
*flashes white quickly than a blink of an eye then black*
I own a lenovo A7000 turbo non rooted phone and i accidentally clicked on the “format whole flash except boot loader”. So then my phone was totally dead. i downloaded the firmware form “http://androidmtk.com” and flashed my phone.On doing so phone used to boot up with a blank scree. I knew my phone booted due to the small vibration it makes. Then after some seconds the phone’s display come to live and displays a series of vertical colored lines on my phones and just stays that way. I have read and watched a lot of Youtube videos on how to flash dead phones /MTK phones and all.
So if any one can offer their guidance that would be very helpful to me.
