Your phone is not powering down ?
Lenovo P780 is flashed by powering down.
You power down the phone, prepare to flash and when you are ready just plug the USB cable with the phone powered down.
That is it.

Try this:
When the procedure to flash is ready, with the USB cable connected press the red button and keep the button pressed, then press download in SP Flash Tool and release the button. Do all this in this order. Tell me what is going on?
The flash should start.

In device manager phone is detected as MT65XX preloader in about 5 seconds - after that it bootloops.

EDIT:

solution:

Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.
Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!
Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)
Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.

I understand now. Your computer does not recognize your phone. The drivers are not installed at all or correctly.
Download the drivers from here and install them. The drivers are at the bottom of the page.
To flash use only the sp flash tools from here.
Small tutorial to install the drivers:

I think was someting like this:
1. First install the .exe file. Reboot PC.
2. Now plug the phone to the PC and new hardware wizard will appear. Unplug the USB cable.
3. Now power off the phone.
4. Again plug the phone this time powered off.
5. At this time in Device Manager appears for a second or two not in USB area, in ports area something with.. MTK65xx...
6. Click very fast on it because that will dessapear fast.
7. After you clicked on it all you have to do is update driver, and voila you have drivers installed and now all you have to do is to flash you ROM.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck.
