Hi, just two weeks ago my phone firmware was updated but the battery and overall experience became worse so I decided to downgrade, to sum it up I:

  1. Flash older firmware using SP Flash Tool - IMEI lost and no sim detected.
  2. Tried a different region firmware but this time I left the format all option selected (big mistake) - After that my phone would never turn on again and only vibrate whenever I'd press the power button, also no fastboot nor recovery anymore.
  3. Tried flashing the old firmware that worked (had to use mtk client only to flash opporeserve2.img because otherwise SPFT would give me error) - It succeeded giving me the green check on SPFT but the phone would still not turn on.
  4. Disconnected and reconnected the battery and flashed (I had to disassembly the phone)- no success
  5. Left the battery to drain - after 5 days it would no longer turn on unless I connect it to the charger.
  6. Tried flashing the firmware again - The flashing was a success as usual, still black screen but this time I could hear the locking sound when pressing the power button twice

Somehow I activated Talkback - now the phone tells me if I press the power, volume up or volume down button. And when I plug the charger it tells me that the battery is 1% but wouldn't charge no matter how long I leave it. 


What else can I do ?

Thanks in advance.

You'll need a full firmware dump of the exact same device as yours to revive it.
Have you tried flashing the original firmware build?

Have you tried flashing the original firmware build?

So that means I would need someone with the russian version to dump their firmware? I have a backup made with twrp, but I'm not sure if I can flash that with mtk client since the files have .win extension.
By original firmware build you mean the firmware the phone came with ? Sadly I haven't found that exact version. What I have tried is flashing the first firmware the phone released with but no luck.

You need to flash the latest firmware for your original region

What was the build number of the buggy firmware you originally updated to? Also what is your phone's original region?
