May I know the ROM file you are trying to flash. Most of the time this issue occurs due to wrong Preloader file.
I have on query on SP Flash tool. When we select “Download Only” option, will this do Format->download for the selected checkboxs ?
No it won’t format device. It will just flash the available files.

Remove your phone’s battery & connect it to your PC. Keep your PC’s device manager open, you’ll see MTK Device (After connecting your device) As soon as you see it, Click on Download button. Once the process starts, it will get completed properly. (If you device keeps ejecting after connecting, first start the SP Flash Tool Download & it will show waiting for device. Now connect your device. Done)
