I will take a look at the post you suggested, but I wanted to reply for now.
Thanks again in advance.
(08-10-2020, 01:26 AM)robworkman Thanks very much, again, for replying. I figured it would be that I need to flash the stock firmware, except that they didn't send a PAC file - just a ZIP of IMG and XML files (included screen shot). Using the XMLs, I was able to figure out what IMG file relates to what partition, I just don't seem to be able to flash it.
Like I said, BeTools seems to crash no matter which XML I try to open, and any SpreadTrum tool seems to only take PAC files.
The BeTools version is 5.8.44.342 according to Help>>>About.
Thanks again for your reply, and I really appreciate the help.
Cheers!

I did try that, but I did sill use characters like underscores. Will give it another go with a different naming convention.
(13-10-2020, 10:56 PM)robworkman Hi again, I made a bit of progress... if it can be called that.
I was able to get BeTools to read the XMLs after doing a rename. It also recognized the tablet when I plugged it in. Unfortunately, it would not begin to flash anything at all - just getting stuck on FDL. On one of the attempts, I unchecked FDL and FDL2 from the flash list and things looked like they were about to go. It tried to flash VBMETA, but gave an "Incompatible Partition" error.
After that, the tablet won't even power on. I've tried every combination of holding down buttions, unplugging, plugging in while standing upside-down, etc... and I just get a black screen. From the speakers, I can hear a hiss like it's trying to power on, it just won't go past the black screen. It won't even show the logo anymore.
Unfortunately, I might be out of luck on this one unless you have any other tips.
Thanks!
