Should I continue doing everything with the platform 6580 despite the phone info says "CPU - MT6799" in "Android - About Phone"?
Thanks.
Yes, you can use mt6580 instead of 6799
curious though, what does apps such as cpu-z or droid hardware info from playstore say? 6580 or 6799

Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
Sending 'vbmeta' (0 KB) OKAY [ 0.015s]
Writing 'vbmeta' FAILED (remote: 'partition table doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
(Before I've - fastboot oem unlock)
What can I do now?
Sounds like you have a clone device but first make a firmware backup of the device in it's current state using the guild at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html
(09-09-2021, 03:26 PM)Spada It is certainly a cloned device.
I have completed the firmware backup of the device with the instructions of the guide.
It is in loop boot. What can I do to try to fix it.
Thanks very much.

thought it was stuck at fastboot, anyways you'd need to find out the real android version then you can attempt porting a custom recovery for that android version using the boot.img from your backup then see if the device is able to boot
can you provide a link to the boot.img of your backup?
alternatively, you can extract your boot.img using android image kitchen (@XDA)
then use 7zip to extract splitimg/boot.img-zimage (select the option to extract here)
you should get a file named boot even though 7zip will prompt an error about having extra data at *****
open the boot file you got using hxd or notepad++ then search for linux version
you should find a string e.g Linux Version 4.XX.XX
what's the linux version? that might help tell the true android version

Linux version 3.10.72, this should be android 5.x
so here's what you'll try, use this same boot.img of yours, rename it to recovery.img then attempt porting twrp using our tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21839.html (try using both v1.0 and v1.2, they both port different versions of twrp and one might work where the other doesn't)
flash the twrp then confirm if you can boot to homescreen and twrp

My stock recovery /ramdisk/etc/recovery.fstab Isn't the original
It was messed up when I first tried to upload the TWRP in fastboot (and I don't have backup from before that). :\

see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-11203.html ; in your case, use twrp > advanced > file manager in place of a root browser
also if you are unable to get a detection in adb while the device is booted to twrp, see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32715.html
