The phone itself won’t power up, display charging etc. Talks to the PC and is recognised by the sptool, downloads the Rom. But that’s all.

My device is pixi 3.5 – mtk6572 – 4009e
I downloaded the stock rom, sending to mobile ok, but start in infinity loop.
How to solve?
Pixi 3.5 4009e – MTK6275
Heed some help with an MTK Iphone 7 Plus, I believe it to be a 6571 Rom (model is A875 on the board).
PC recognises the unit when connected via SP Flash tool. I use the SP tool to flash the unit.
Flash is successful using the “MT6571__alps__MN4A2ZPA__875__4.4.2__ALPS.KK1.MP7.V1.22 read by asif” rom I downloaded.
So it goes to completion using “Download” mode, but still no power, no screen display etc.
Any thoughts.
There’s a great big black hole between steps 4 & 5 of the driver installation…..
