Galaxy S5 Clone - Help to unbrick - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I have a Galaxy S5 clone and not sure which exact model it is or which manufacturer it came from.
The phone is not working anymore, after I tried RAM repartition. No reaction at all. Display stays black/off.
When plugged into PC, MTK USB drivers are detected/installed.
Unfortunately I don't have a backup nor a stock ROM and so I am not able to recover the phone.
Here the scatter information:
Hardware : MT6572 (MT6589 is Fake!)
Model : SM-G900H
Build number : ALPS.JB3.MP.V1.8
Build date UTC : 20140626-091826
Android v : 4.4.2
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4, 2013/08/07 10:44
Kernel v : 3.4.5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 16:12:13 CST 2014
Uboot build v : -----
LCD Driver IC : 1-sh1282g_dsi_vdo
When trying to flash an alternative ROM via SP Flash Tools, red process bar immediately shows 100% and then it's aborted showing "Error 4032 (Enable DRAM FAILED)"
Photos attached show phone when it previously worked. As you can see there, system information and Antutu Screens already showed "fake informations" about the phone.
Please help me!

I've made a backup of this phone but there's no system.img in the backup folder just a system folder.So I'm unable to flash back the android.img.Any ideas?

It seems there is a lot of people who got in trouble with these phones. Let me pose some questions to all those who are in trouble:
For those who purchased them from EBay (and I assume also AliExpress) there should be good chances of getting a replacement or getting the money back - these frauds are well known and being quietly repressed. I mean, if we don't kick back, things will get even worse.
For all those who are interested, let me pose some basic questions:
Was the phone rooted when you got into trouble?
Did you have a custom recovery installed? CWD?
If yes, did you install ADB Insecure at boot?
What did you do that bricked the phone, and why were you doing it, for which purpose?
Does the phone still connect to the PC? If yes, which kind of drivers get loaded?
Can you still enter terminal mode on the PC and get answer when you issue the ADB devices command from the Android SDK platform? If yes, what happens when you send the ADB reboot bootloader and ADB reboot recovery commands?
Can you still get into recovery by pressing the vol down, start and center buttons?
If you connect the phone (typically - but there maybe variants) switched off and without battery, does it try to install/install the MT65xx preloader driver (a COM port emulator on USB)? Be aware that, if there is no data transfer, these drivers stay up only for a few seconds, even when the driver is correctly installed
You can't anymore connect with the MKTDroids SW, can you?
Most of these phones show two memory areas, a big internal storage, to which the user has no access, and a rather small phone memory. The internal storage in reality maps to a partition that is quite smaller and the values that are shown in the menu are fake - in my case, 7 times bigger than the real.
Everybody who has got a phone of this kind working, even unrooted, can do this simple test. This is what happened on mine:
1) Download a big app such as 3DMark
2) Go to Settings-Memory and take note of the size of the internal storage still available – for me it was 7.64GB
3) Uninstall 3DMark but, just before pressing the button, take note of the size – it is 39.25MB for 3DMark
4) Go to Settings-Memory again and take note of the size of the available internal storage – for me it was 7.91GB
5) Make the difference: 7.91-7.64=0.27GB=276MB. WELL, THIS WAS 7 TIMES THE REAL VALUE: 276/39,25=7.04
If you run parted on such a phone you get error message as the size of partitions is bigger that the ROM disk

Are you still into trouble or you got the ROM and solved it?
If not, can you explain to me what you were attempting to do when the phone was bricked? What do you mean as RAM repartition?

Are you still in trouble?
If yes, can you tell me how your phone got bricked, and what was the status of the phone, was it rooted with some Custom recovery installed, or what?

I was not able to solve the boot problems and did not want to spend more time in saving a cheap phones life, so I just throwed it in the bin.

Yes. The phone is still bricked. Hang on MTK logo. The phone was flashed with a ROM to get the IMEI working, was no working. No Custom recovery installed.

Where do you guys buy these things?
On another note, having a program that can inspect the insides of these phones would be very helpful. Where to buy that?

if any one still need this rom, you can go here good luck
