Infinix x551 bricked after flashing interrupted

I have an Infinix Hot Note x551 (16GB + 2GB RAM). I attempted to upgrade it from the base android 4.4.2 to android Lollipop by flashing this firmware "X551-G808-BC-L-20160722", however, for some unknown reason during that process, the flashing was interrupted (the USB and the connection should have been stable, as far as I could tell). Following that, the device was completely bricked. It would not turn on, no charging screen, and undetectable by my PC.
Reading further into it, I discovered that I could activate META mode in hopes of restoring it by taking out the in-built battery and holding the volume up button before connecting the USB. I have attempted that, and now, the phone can be detected... however, I still seem to be unable to flash the device, as it gets stuck on "Downloading DA (100%)" for 15 seconds then I get the following error:
"S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE (4001). DA didn't send response data to FlashTool!"
I've tried restarting my laptop, changing the port and changing the cable, however, none of these options have succeeded...
I would greatly greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you in advance!~

If no success use mtkclient on Ubuntu to flash preloader and boot before turning to spflashtools
