I tried to install custom rom on my phone. Flashed wrong recovery, after changed to working recovery (which i had previously) phone didnt detect sim cards. I think it was because of system so thats why need system.img. And boot.img because read somewhere to flash boot.img using fastboot, so flashed and phone have bootloop now. Thank you from the mountain. So I think if i flash boot.img and system.img with fastboot it will work fine again.
EDIT: Found stock rom at russian forums gsmforums.ru and 4PDA forum
Phone working but I still have problem that it can't read SIM cards. It's dual sim and both sim cards don't working tried with some other cards and don't work too. Someone have any idea? It's wrong recovery flash problem? :/ Because phone can't read cards since i flashed wrong recovery and returned to working one. Thanks, hope for fast reply.
Help
I have found the ROM but it would be helpful if you could link it too. I haven't flashed android before and don't know how to do it properly, so it would be of great help if you could tell me how you did it. I have tried few things but with no success.

Sorry for the really late reply, but I've bought 3 new phones already in the meantime so I stopped watching the forum for the solution. Here's the link for the stock rom: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z You should be able to download it without any problems. If You encounter some problems then tell me in next reply and I'll upload the rom to the other hosting site. Next thing You should download is a file from this link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z It contains scatter file which includes required info for SP Flash Tool to flash the image. Extract both files to the same folder on Your desktop so it'll be easier to find them. To flash the rom You have to download and install SP Flash Tool. It would be best if You'd follow the tutorial on YouTube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CxDF2pkdCQ Here's the link to SP Flash Tool official site: https://spflashtool.com/ In the flashtool You should select download agent which is inside the tool folder and is most likely named something like "MTKallinoneDL". Then You should select scatter file from the rom folder which is named something like "mt6752_android_scatter" The next step is to select the "download only" option from the menu. You should follow the video on how to install the drivers and what steps You should take to connect the device correctly to the pc. So once again:
1. Download all the files and extract them:
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z << stock rom
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z <<scatter file etc.
* https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126 <<mtk preloader drivers
* https://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1824_Win.zip << Latest version of SP Flash Tool
2.Install the MTK preloader drivers as shown in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=219&v=sADkzyI8Z5Q
3.Open SP Flash tool and select download agent, scatter file and select "download only" option from the drop down menu. (NOTE: You should open SP Flash Tool as administrator to avoid any problems)
4.Select checkboxes for ANDROID, BOOTIMG, RECOVERY.
5.Click the downlaod button (before connecting Your phone)
6.Connect Your phone without battery to Your pc.
7.Now wait untill the message window pop-ups with "download OK" message.
If You have trouble using the SP Flash Tool here's another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKpt0TLE6_A NOTE: If You flash Your phone with "FORMAT ALL AND DOWNLOAD" You could erase Your IMEI partition which will result in another problems with phone calls etc. It's best if You select download only and select only these 3 partitions I mentioned earlier. If You encounter any problems please let me know in Your future reply.
I got the scatter file from CM thread. But I cannot use it in SP cuz "initializing scatter file failed please check the name of scatter p9000 is legal".
Name is MT6755_Android_scatter.txt
SP latest version 5.1520
Dont know whats wrong and what to do. I got this device for $10 on GearBest in a competition. Didnt know flashing MTK devices is so difficult. Will stick to snapdragon from now on.
Stop with Windows
Maybe not the answer you want to hear, but stop using Windows for this. Using SP Flash Tool within Linux is so much easier. No MTK drivers too install. Just run and flash.
A little notice is that my luck began with version 5.1648 of SP Flash. And use this link for your recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/ele...ndroid-6-0-t3423518/post68357470#post68357470. All others didn't work for me.
Good luck.

scatter file is the one included in every stock rom that is flashable to sp flash tools, when you load the scatter file, it loads a list of partitions and it allows you to flash files onto those partition, in thus case you needed the partition table to flash the recovery, so you need to load the scatter file that is found on any stock rom made for flash tools

I have tried a different way no via cmd with adb...
And I followed the steps meticulously - unlocked bootloader etc, but I get to the "writing recovery part" -
And it says FAILED (remote not allowed in locked state)
I don't get it! =(
I have unlocked bootloader, I have installed drivers, I did EVERYTHING...
Any advice?

Thank you, if I do manage to install twrp and supersu,
will it factory reset my phone?
Or do I keep all apps settings amd just carry on, with the only difference being root?

If you uncheck everything and change the recovery to twrp then it will keep everything if you leave all boxes checked then everything will be deleted.

Okay so, I have now got twrp downloaded.
I have supersu on my internal storage.
Now I press volup + power to enter twrp recovery - no does not work I just get elephone logo, then I release power and get no command?
Ive came so far and now am stuck again lol
Sooo, I fcked up again.
I've locked the bootloader without the OEM unlocked checked in the developer settings.
I'm now trying to restore the phone through SP Flash tool, but I need the scatter file.
I've found this post with a linked scatter file, but I've also found this article with instructions to extract the precise scatter file from your phone, so I'd like to try with the article first.
So I'm searching for any good samaritan with a DN2103 EU 128GB that would extract his scatter files for the community.
You can be rooted and everything, it makes no difference. The article is pretty short and straight forward to follow. The requirements are to have the usual Adb & Mtk drivers installed and the MTK Droid tool available to download directly from here.
Thanks in advance

There is. Scatter file available in boot IMG corrupt thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/mt6893_android_scatter-txt.5439391/
That works for me but it's working on specific version of sp. Flash tool 5.21,but I don't have indian firmware to falsh via sp. Falsh.

U have any idea

To just flash boot you can use this tool https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient It works well for that. (I reccomend you to downlaod the already compiled .iso for the installation)
Sadly the unlock features of this tool does not work for the OPN2, but I've opened an Issue on the GitHub thread about it, we'll see what can be done

Hi everyone. I ask you something ¿is there any way to flash a samsung stock firmware on brom mode (not in download mode, but brom mode)? If there is, ¿How can i do that? Thanks
Model SM-.....
is that samsung use mediatek? if so, find full dump firmware for your model and flash it using sp flash tool, you need bypass brom authentication first in order to flash
SM-A146U, processor MT6833

I tried already with sp flash tool, I know about bypass brom authentication; but I what I don't have is a reliable scatter firmware. I tried to convert any of the samsung roms I downloaded, into a scatter one, by using Android utility, but the generated scatter is useless, so i don't know if all the rest of "converted" files are reliable too.

Sir, that's exactly the problem: There's no download mode. It's stuck on boot rom mode, so the phone it's just recognized as mtk device.
So, I tried to find a firmware scatter version for this phone, but besides what is a relatively new model, its storage is UFS, so any EMMC scatter file is useless, at least on sp flash tool. Someone has said me, I can flash it with unlocktool, but i'm broke and I cannot afford that program (and obviously if the phone is stuck in that mode, odin doesn't work).
