Maze Alpha RED State (Bootloop) solution:
I have a second alpha, so I have made it again step by step.

SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1728.00.000.



1. unlocked bootloader
2. flash TWRP
3. rooting
4. fastboot locking bootloader

result: red state and bootloop.

countermeasure:

1. flash Maze_Alpha_V05_20170816:
SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1728.00.000.

download agent: MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin
Menu point at SP flash tool -> Download:
Download without bootloader.
Scatter and rom -> Maze_Alpha_V05_20170816
klick download.
Connect USB cable.

result: ERROR: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER (0xC0010007)
or
second attempt: ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003)
if the popup window with the error notices emerges,
Be quick
The popup must be close promptly and press again download or format. It must go very quickly.

thats it.

Wish you created this thread in the Maze Alpha section, would be nice to keep all topics together.

In your original post (before you changed it), you mentioned that you lost your IMEI info. This is because you ran SP Flash Tools in "format all + download" mode, which damaged/overwrote/wiped the "NVRAM" partition (the place where IMEI, MAC addresses, and serial # are stored, among other things). If you look closely, you'll see that your serial number was also reset, and you probably have a NVRAM error in your list of available WIFI networks.

No amount of wiping or flashing will fix this. To fix, you need to restore the NVRAM partition from a TWRP backup (if you have one), or use the official MTK "Maui META" tool:

https://androidmtk.com/download-sp-meta-tool

Then, follow this tutorial:

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-12328.html

The only change to the tutorial is that you can opt to autosearch for the CustomAppSrcP file on your device, instead of browsing to the buried version in the unzipped official 08/16 ROM.

After all this, install the 09/13 update, which should resolve the WIFI NVRAM error and provide consistent static MAC addresses for Bluetooth & WIFI.

Maui META can also be used to reapply your specific serial number, if you know it (see tutorial above).

Also:
1. To make sure that your PC can communicate with the Alpha and to avoid errors, the official Android SDK USB drivers and USB debugging are not enough, especially on a dead/bricked phone. Make sure you install the MTK USB drivers (chipset 65xx works for 67xx):

installation & tutorial:
https://tehnotone.com/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial/
or
http://thefirmwarehub.com/install-mt65xx-usb-preloader-drivers-in-windows-7/
http://thefirmwarehub.com/install-mt65xx-usb-preloader-drivers-in-windows-8-8-1-10/

Auto installer:

SP Flash Tools errors & fixes:
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-439.html?tid=439

2. Do not flash TWRP as you mention in your post! As dreambo originally stated, there is a touch screen response issue yet to be resolved when installed to the recovery partition. Use fastboot to boot the TWRP img when needed.

It didn't work for me, I've performed the oem unlock command and the bootloader returned to orange state.
What can we do to change the orange state back to the green state?
If I perform the 'fastboot flashing lock' will work?

Anche io ragazzi o questo problema con il mio Maze Alpha 4 gb ram,sono riuscito a instalare la twrp e dopo non sono riuscito a instalare niente con la twrp ,o provato la v5,v8,poi non ero più bono di tornare indietro ,forse o cancellato qualche partizione o tutte perché adesso sono in Orange state,.O provato di tuto è di più,flashare con Windows 10,poi con Windows 7
Tante versioni dis SP flash ,anche solo botloader alla volta ,anche tuto,download ,agiorn firmware,il cambiato tanti driver,ci viene fuori questi errori:S_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL,DA_HASH_MISMATCH,No n riesco a sistemarlo in nessuna maniera e lo appena comprato da un mese,se qualcuno ragazzi si intende di più e mi può dare una mano le sarei tanto grato vi ringrazio in anticipo,io volevo solo la twrp perché mi piaceva ancora dai tempi di HTC titan perché si poteva mettere sia Windows mobile che android
