Umi Super Hard Bricked after SP Flash Tools

Hi Guys,
I am quite new to custom ROM's and the idea of rooting, however I was using SP Flash tools to wipe the flash storage of my device after a rather serious boot loop. Now I can see that this was not the best of ideas. Firstly I tried flashing TWRP again, but this did not fix the issue so I decided to format the whole flash. During this process SP Flash tools unexpectedly crashed. This resulted in the interrupt of the process and has left my phone practically dead. I can not get anything from the screen like recovery mode. Even after very long button presses of the power switch. To try and rectify this, I downloaded the Umi Super custom ROM and loaded it into SP Flash tools. However when I press download, there is no response and it does not even begin to download let alone flash. I have left it on for about 15 minutes with no response. I have also tried unplugging it and holding the volume buttons down in different combinations. Although this may seem as though the device has boot loader issues and can no longer communicate, I don't believe this is the case. Because when I plug the device in and out of my computer it recognizes it and loads the correct drivers for the device. Therefore there must be some sort of communication between my device and the computer.

I have used SP flash tools in the past with this phone and it has never had issues. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers and moving to a different PC. Even changing USB cable, but no luck. I am using the latest versions of all the software.

I really hope someone may have an idea and I would really appreciate it.

Thank you again,

James

Have you tried with an official rom? (Here on the forum available) load the rom into spft and start the procedure, only after connect the phone.

Hi
Thanks for your post. I have finally managed to get it to work by reinstalling different vcom drivers. It all works fine now part from the fact I have a strange background flickering of what appears to be the UMI boot screen. It flickers even when the phone is booted up and is rather distracting. I cant find any fix on the internet so let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks
James
