I downloaded the firmware for Tecno k9 here with and id:H8018AB-N170707V95 which is matching to my phone information as shown on the screen shoot attached below but when i extracted the firmware it shows that the chipset is "mt 6580" contrary to my phone's "mt 6582"

Can this firmware still work on my phone?
Please help,my phone is stuck at boot log and can't be turned into recovery mode only fast booting mode

it won't work, from all indications your K9 is a clone
chipset mt6582 and ROM 4GB doesn't match the specs on the original device. firmware for the original won't work on your device
you need to look for similar clone to backup firmware from

Thanks for the information,
From your first post,i backed up my phone's firmware with miracle box and replaced the scatter  file in other firmware and flashed like you advised but it didn't work and my phone is completely dead,only black screen and not detected by computer.

flash back your backup firmware, it should revert back to the previous problem but you still need to backup firmware from a working clone same as yours in order to fix your device

launch device manager on the PC
take / reinsert the battery on the phone
connect the phone to the PC via USB
does the PC make any sound? , does device manager refresh? if yes, what does device manager detect the connected device as?

Did your flashing attempt start or it failed with an error message?
