Phone is not booting, pls help

I rooted mt phone around 7-8 months ago and have tried many custom ROMs (stock kitkat, cleankat) by you.
Also i have tried DARKL ROM which i found the best of all, and also it suited me the most. But from around 4-5 days, my phone started hanging a lot, mostly when using ttorrent app, though i have not installed any heavy apps/games/launcher etc.
then yesterday my all google apps stopped responding, when i start them it gave a message "#####.gapps" has stopped (something like that. I don't know the exact message). Later on most of the apps got force closed when i start them. And suddenly my switched off. When switching on it stucked on DARKL logo screen. so i restored my backup which i took before of the same ROM, but again the same problem.
So i decide to change my ROM and flashed XOLO Q1010i ported ROM. but that didn't suited me so changed the ROM and flashed MIUI v6 kitkat for canvas 2 colors. But the problem continued,so i came back to DARKL rom. Now this time it worked fine for 1 day, but today my phone hanged a lot (couldn't even make a call), so i rebooted my phone and put it in my pocket, after 15-20 min. i looked at it and it didn't even started. I tried to boot my phone in every possible way(power button/ combination of power, volume up, volume down/ power, volume up), but it is not booting anymore, even not in recovery mode.

So now i got stuck as i m not able to open recovery mode/factory mode or boot my phone normally , so how can i get my phone back. I hope there is a way to get it back with the help of computer. Please help me out of this, I would be in a trouble if it didn't started. PLEASE PLEASE...I would be very thankful.

If the problem is as serious as it is then try SP flash tool and flash stock rom, i suggest first wipe out your memory card too after that using SP flash stock signed a120 rom and use it for a day or two, if things go good then use new recovery i suggest philz and then flash ROM of your wish.

Well I did the same yesterday, but the stock ROM too crashed after an hour. I can't understand what the problem is.
Also one thing, when i tried to flash stock kitkat ROM by sp flash tool, it took aroud 10 times to complete the flash processing, it always stuck on either format processing or at the start of flash processing. But u know what, i think the problrm is my SIM card, because on each ROM after some time my phone's network went down to zero. So i put my SIM card in another android phone but it didn't catch the signals on that phone too.
Now today i have flashed the stock rom using sp tools and removed the SIM card from MICROMAX A120... so until now it is running fine.
What do u think, can the SIM card be the problem?
Also pls provide me the link to philz recovery & any lollilop version ROM (stable, no bugs) (if any available)

Hey dude, pls help me. I just can't get out of it.
Now even using sp falsh tools, i can't flash the stock ROM.
After downloading DA it gives an error message saying-
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_GET_MEMORY_FAIL (4058)
cannot find memory"

And where is the developer of this ROM? Why isn't he replying to my post.

No bro, this page doen't list my problem.
So, what i did today is-
today i found that most of the apps are getting force closed on my stock kitkat ROM, which i flashed yesterday by sp flash tools (with very difficulty).
So i rebooted my phone, after that phone prompted me to factory reset cause of any prblm (i thnk the same problem).
So after i did that, the phone did not boot up. then i tried to again flash the stock kitkat ROM, & until now i have tried around 20-30 times, but either the processing freezes at a certain percentage, or it gives some different error message like-
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_GET_MEMORY_FAIL (4058)

cannot find memory"
OR
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)"

What can be the actual problem? Is my phone now permanently bricked?
I searched google & youtube, but cant find an appropriate & working method.

Is your custom recovery accessible? If not then flash it via sp flash tool. Use philz

Ya, i flashed philz recovery. and by that, i have flashed DARKL, but the phone stuck on boot logo (DARKL logo).
so just now, i have again flashed stock kitkat. Now lets see, how many hours will this ROM works perfectly.
I think I should try some other custom ROMs by flashing through philz recovery.

Using philz recovery do clean wipe to install a new rom after doing that. Wipe cache dalvik cache , after that install wiko base rom for a120 (wiko rom is stock rom of wiko rainbow the device out of which a120 was cloned).

Install wiko rom and see if this much gets successful.

Seriously dude. I too was thinking to change my phone's base to wiko base.
But tell me one thing. how can i fully format my phone, apart from the method by which we install a new custom ROM (i.e. clear data/factory reset, clear cache, dalvik cache). Because after clearing data, dalvik cache also, the problem persists for me.
I hope that changing phone's base to wiko base might end the problem.
I had a doubt, is it possible that my phone's IMEI may be blacklisted by the company, may be that's why i am not able to use my phone.

You dont need to format your device for changing the base to wiko...Just download Wiko Rainbow Rom and flash using upgrade option...

Even after flashing a new stock rom you are having issues :banghead:...try to do factory reset and wipe everything...remove the sdcard and see the problem persists or not...or may be you doing the things wrong way...

Provide detailed information, i.e., how you flashed the DARKL ROM, and what you did after that.
Does the problem comes right after flashing the ROM?

I firstly rooted my phone using framaroot and then saved the daekl zip in sd card and downloaded recovery.img and mobileuncletools as mentioned all went well and darkl is also installed properly I did this last night and now in noon i found the internal storage is not mounted also tweakbox says loading gravity box initially and then closes saying unable to load gravity box.... Help me with some other rom or way to recovery. Also I tried mobileuncle tools it says root your device first
