UPDATE 2:
I wasn't flashing the wrong firmware.
At first the problem was formatting the device, after that the problem was that it didn't have the correct preloader.
I have fixed the bootloop issue, but now the IMEI has been wiped.
I have made a backup of NVRAM before I formatted, but in MTK Droid Tools it was blank at the IMEI parameters.
Anyone know how to retrieve my IMEI or read it from the NVRAM?

check and ensure that baseband is not unknown
you can restore your nvram backup depending on how you made the backup, see the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23412.html
OR you can try writing imei using any of the methods @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-116.html

Is this some error? Is this a bad firmware or something?
Regarding the NVRAM, I made a backup with MTK Droid Tool, which produced a .bin file and a .tar file.
I've made a backup with SP Flash Tools as well, which is just an .img file.
There is also a NVRAM backup in the backup I made with MTK Droid Tool right before I formatted the device.
Although, in that backup the NVRAM are just a folder named "nvram" and .tar file named "userdata_nvram_only.tar", which contains the same content as the folder.
However, I'm not very certain whether my nvram backup contains the IMEI, as in MTK Droid Tools the IMEI parameters were empty, not even zeros.

that's not an error, probably how it was designed by the OEM
your nvram dump should contain the imei so long as it was made before formatting, you just didn't restore it back and there's no difference between blank imei and all zeroes, they're both invalid
