where did you get this firmware from? asus website?
this firmware is meant to be flashing using recovery mode not sp flash tool but you could try converting system.new.dat to system.img ; see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-15855.html
if successful, then make a firmware backup of your device using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html (this should get you a better scatter file)

use the scatter file from the backup to flash ONLY (boot.img from the firmware zip) and (the converted system.img) using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-14106.html

then factory reset the phone in recovery mode and see if it boots to homescreen
