I've the same model. Can you help me flashing TWRP RECOVERY?
firmwarefile doesn't have 4.2.2, it only has 4.4+
You need 4.2.2. to flash TWRP, using the Loki method. This phone has a locked bootloader so an unsigned kernel cannot normally be flashed, but it allows root with KingRoot.
What is loki method? Can you explain me with instructions?

The process should be the same for the i337 and the i257, as long as you have 4.2.2. I make no guarantees as I cannot backup 4.2.2 to even give myself multiple shots at fixing the phone in case of brick. Most likely, the predesigned boot only works for i337 but the exploit should work for i257.

I don't have the firmware in a flashable. It's still on the phone itself, and I don't know how to back it up.
