Hi there. I recently bricked my MTK tablet editing the build.prop and now android won't boot, everyone will say, "Why don't flash the stock firmware?" or something like that. The stock firmware don't exists in internet so I decided to unpack and repack system.img to solve this, but I can't find file_contexts or file_contexts.bin in boot.img\ramdisk. My tablet model is: Timovi Insignia Delta 3 with MediaTek MT8321 processor and Android 8.1 go edition. Please help me!!

Edit: I have unbricked my tablet using another method that I'm not very sure if is allowed to post it here.

Which tool are you using to unpack system.img?
You could
1. Create a flashable zip that changes the build.prop
Also consider these guides:
