Thanks for your detailed explanations and the download links provided, the the processes worked as described but i noticed that the recovery bin you provided did not make the phone to boot into recovery mode after pressing the key combination.

Which mode did the phone boot into and in what order did you hold the buttons?

I've tried and tried but can't get miraclebox to detect my phone, every other software out there can detect my phone. Can you post the scatter file and recovery so I can flash via SPflashtool?
