Hi,

Since you can't format the recovery partition in recovery, you still should be able to boot into recovery. So, at this point I don't understand your problem.
Meta mode is needed to operate with the NVRAM, for flashing you need pre-loader mode but that doesn't need anything just to connect your powered off phone without pressing any buttons. So, don't press a button, just connect your phone to USB after clicking the Download button. In some cases that might be necessary to disconnect and reconnect the battery before the process. So, just do that and set SPFT to 'Firmware Upgrade' mode.
If you can see the red bar, that means your phone still have a working pre-loader, so you don't need an RX/TX connection via test points. On the other hand, that probably wouldn't work. I've got some service boxes (Infinity, MCN Box, GPG Dragon and Volcano Box) but no one of them is able to boot up these newer (EMMC based) MTK phones through test points. If the boot process is stuck, the error message you get might be important.

hello, ty for ur answer,

by recovery mode i think you mean install via Micro SD, but it doesnt recognize the sd slot.

by the other part, i tried coneccting phone with different button combinations but doesnt work, with the battery or without it

the spft, on firmware upgrade only admit all blocks checked, but anyway doesnt work,
i dont know maybe making something bad, but tried a lot of options,
thanks your reply

If the sd slot worked before, then it should work in recovery too. In the Install Update mode you might have to press the 'Switch to emmc' button to get access to the sd card. This is about Roorjoy recovery.
As I said, no button press is needed for SPFT, moreover, you mustn't press any button or it won't work. You should check in Windows' device manager whether the Preloader VCOM (or something similar) is visible in the COM & LPT ports list for a few seconds after connecting your phone to USB or not.

No message at all.

As far I can gather the phone was stuck on "Checking connection" in welcome screen and I turned the phone off.
While it was turning off the usb was still connected to the PC and it biped 2 times.
At that moment I saw batery is empty, big ass empty icon on the black display and the phone turned off,  battery was full, last time I saw the icon in welcome screen.
Now I cant charge it, I cant connect it to PC, I cant boot it up.

From my other post, someone suggested that usb port burned out and turned battery off.
So yeah after one day of usage my phone is dead.
