[Completed] Lenovo Not Turning ON but Detected by PC (Failed Flashing Stock ROM via SPFlashtool)

My Lenovo A3500 is no turning on after flashing the stock rom via sp flashtools, it didn't flash completely, it failed before downloading. I accidentally closed the error box (which tells me where the log file is).
So before this happened, I successfully flashed the stock rom for my tablet, then I decided to flash cwm recovery (I found a compatible version), Then I tried flashing the cwm recovery via spflashtool but it tells me that "PMT changed for the rom. It must be downloaded". So I decided to reinstall the stock rom with the CWM recovery. So I selected the scatter file for the stock rom and I just changed the path of the recovery to the CWM recovery, when I clicked download and connected my powered off device, It showed an error that it cant be completed (I forgot what it is, it told me there's a log file) Now my tablet doesnt start after pressing the power button, cant access anything on the tablet but when I connect it to my computer, my computer plays the sound that it found a device so that means my tablet is detected. I tried adb devices but it shows nothing. I tried flashing the stock rom again via sp flashtool but when I click download and plug in the phone the download is not starting meaning it cant detect my tablet.
So for short:
my lenovo a3500 tablet doesnt turn on after flashing stock rom, it is detected by pc (plays sound) but cant be detected by adb. It cant be detected by sp flashtool.
please help, youre my last hope pls m8s

[Completed] BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0) SP Flash Tool mtk6572

Hi there guys @ xda.
I need help with my mtk6572 phone which i bricked in a noob way.
I need help flashing it with SP Flash Tool which gives an error as described in title.
Here is how i bricked it.
Today i decided that i want to flash a custom recovery on my phone, so i did and it worked.
I experienced a bug on the recovery and decided i wanted to put the stoc recovery back.
I flashed it back and the recovery booted fine, wiped chache and did factory reset.
After i did that my phone got stuck on boot animation.
I then decided that it was a good idea to flash to complete stock rom back to my phone,
but chose the forma all + download option, so that the changes the custom recovery made
were deleted. Well, so i thought...
Right after the format i got an error that said that my firmware is not for my phone and failed.
Now if i try to format or download the stock rom (which i backed up from my device before flashing)
i get the error code in the title.
I tried uninstalling all the mtk drivers from my pc. When i connect my device it is picked up in device manager
as "unknown device", i then updated the drivers with mediatek preloader driver (and tried all the mtk drivers out there)
but the flash tool still gives the same error.
After i press the download button, and connect my phone, the bar at the bottom goes to 100%(red colour) then stays like that for 41 seconds.
Then it gives the error code and fails to flash.
I tried everything, from removing the battery, pressing vol+, vol-, power and all the combos in between, nothing.
If someone could help me unbrick my phone, i would be very greatfull.
P.S I have the stock rom backed up from my device and prepared with mtk droid tools for flash tool.

Most lenovo phones have meta mode which is used to flash ROMs without preloader.so all you got to do is
1)get your stock ROM
2)load scatter.txt in sp flashtool
3)select either firmware upgrade/download only
4)click download and then connect your powered off phone via usb in meta mode
Note:connecting in meta mode is dffrt for dffrt phones.
Mine is holding vol+ button while connecting,find out how to connect your phone or try some button combinations.

Help! My phone is bricked

My Lenovo A316i does not turn on anymore but can still be recognized by the computer. At first, my phone can be powered on but restarts at the logo. I made it worked using SP Flash Tool and I installed TWRP. The problem occured after I install an updated.zip folder through TWRP without Wiping. The phone at this stage was stocked at the logo. Then I tried the "Format all & Download" option in the SP Flash Tool. Now it does not turn on, but can still be recognized by the computer.
I already followed the steps from these videos

No because it's not turning on anymore.

Try to use button combination for your phone model
