Your link seem dead

let's do it step by step (and your comment after "==>")

1- Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2342635
we need just the preloader_edit.bin

2- Download then unzip the ROM Files :

3- Remove the phone battery, open the sptool click on preloader then select preloader_edit.bin instead of preloader.bin
==>

4- connect the phone, when it's detected by PC, click on format
==>

5- disconnect then connect the phone again, when it's detected by PC click on "Firmware Upgrade"
==>

6- Wait the end of upgrade operation then disconnect and reboot the phone

please update new link for your file thx

Really dumb question: is a "preloader" the bootloader? If so, just reflash it with fastboot. Or, even Odin the stock ROM found earlier in this thread.

Sent from carbon note 2 on XDA premium app

A preloader is not the same as a bootloader. Mediatek devices have some extra lines of code that run before the bootloader. That extra code is called the preloader.

Please your rom send me

Hi I have the same model and it is hard bricked. No recovery mode, no bootloader and to be much worst I'm unable to flash it.

I have original backup of the ROM, also couple of others but non of these seems to help at the moment since I got
BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL(4032)
[EMI] Enable DRAM Failed

This error happens with every scatter file, original one + all others.
I have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed but even that doesn't help.

I have also try to flash over Odin but Odin does not recognize the phone at all.

So if there is some one that have solution for re flashing the phone please write.

Thanks.
