Did you make a full backup before flashing the ROM?
Do you have a recovery you can get back to?
If you have the above just use the button combo for your phone to get back to recovery and flash back your stock rom.
If you don't have the above then I don't know what you can do.
Good luck.

Thanks for answering, I didn't made a backup but I will get the same phone for 2-3 days so I could use it, right? Can you explain how to do that in details?

Need help with rooting a chinese tablet purchased on Wish

Hello fellows,
I have recently purchased a chinese tablet on wish (https://www.wish.com/product/5b3ec76c3b2908146fead685), and I would like to root it, obviously.
The specifications listed on the description page are far from what I got. (yeah, found out the hard way about counterfeit chinese stuff)
Here is what I was expecting:
Specification:

So at first glance, it looks like a pretty good deal for a ~135$ CDN tablet.
The real specs are far from this however.
After installing various apps, I managed to find out it had a MTK6580 CPU instead of MTK6592. I dunno if it's an 8 cores or 4 cores. Most apps list it as an 8 cores, clocked at 1500mhz. However, one app, I don't remember which one, said it was 4 cores. So I'm not quite sure.
After digging a lot online trying to find out what manufacturer it was, trying to find a custom rom for it, I managed to stumble upon a site which gather specs for android devices, and I found out exactly the one I have.
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=fd87-fc73-ffff-ffffd2fc91ac&lang=en
Actually, it might be mine, as I also had ordered a 256gb microsd card on wish, and turns out it's also counterfeit, and not 256gb at all.
Fortunately, I was reimbursed for both.
The tablet itself isn't all that bad, and if I were able to root it, it could actually be useful, if I could remove some bloat and manage startup programs and so on, maybe overclock it a bit, etc.. The thing is, it got 1gb ram.
So I dunno if you guys know anything about this tablet, but while looking online, I found out quite a few people bought it, on wish, amazon, etc.. some have made youtube videos about it, warning others of the scam (specifications not matching the product real specs)
I also found that it seems to be a knockoff of this tablet, an overmax qualcore 1027 3g (https://www.ov.overmax.eu/en/product/qualcore-1027-3g)
I hope I provided all the informations you guys need to give me a hand with this, I would highly appreciate!
Thanks!

Anyone have any clues?
