Phone stuck in bootloop even after flashing stock ROM

Question

I currently have a phone named Symphony W17 (MT6572). I had flashed stock ROM using SP Flash Tool, but it's stuck in the boot loop. I tried clearing data and Dalvik cache from recovery but no luck.

you forgot to flash stock recovery (or disable dm-verity in case wanna keep TWRP) — alecxs, Jan 10 '22 at 15:07
I flashed stock recovery and firmware using sp flash tool but im stuck in bootloop. What should i do now ? Do you have telegram , discord or anything ? Please help me!! — Junaid Rahman, Jan 11 '22 at 12:24
Don't worry you will get help here. But please be descriptive - update your question with output of 'fastboot getvar all' (with IMEI + Serialno censored) and post link to stock ROM or scatter file used, and also partitions list selected for flashing, maybe there is a discrepancy — alecxs, Jan 11 '22 at 14:38
I colud not write not write it here. So I have written it on pastebin. Here is the link of the paste - https://pastebin.com/x6qsnTWQ ...... Please help me! — Junaid Rahman, Jan 12 '22 at 07:30
there is discrepancy userdata partition 1.3 GB or 800 MB which partitions did you flash and what download mode selected? — alecxs, Jan 12 '22 at 08:37
I selected format all + download mode on sp flash tool. Userdata partiton was 1.3gb — Junaid Rahman, Jan 12 '22 at 09:02
you formatted whole eMMC so maybe some partitions got lost. you can try to fix with MTK tools — alecxs, Jan 12 '22 at 09:12
This partitions probably got lost. This can partially restore some data, but I cannot guide you I never did. XDA is a better place to have such conversations, Android Enthusiasts is Q&A site only (1 Question, 1 Solution) — alecxs, Jan 12 '22 at 09:34

Hey. I flashed another rom and it booted but when i try to erase storage from recovery it says unable to mount /data also i cannot install any apps. its saying that i dont have enough storage. here is link of scatter and firmware - Scatter - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V4Ly5h8xQnIezIiKK6KrCbtROH90FHVX/view?usp=sharing Firmware - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939828710 . please help — Junaid Rahman, Jan 13 '22 at 11:38
i think its stuck in bootloop again. tried flashing again with that rom but still same — Junaid Rahman, Jan 13 '22 at 13:26
something is different this time. did you flash custom recovery? — alecxs, Jan 13 '22 at 13:39
i did nothing my phones battery died so i charged it and when i tried to start it its stuck in the starting logo — Junaid Rahman, Jan 13 '22 at 13:41
someone told me to repartition my phone's internal storage. do you know how to do it? — Junaid Rahman, Jan 13 '22 at 13:44
you did already with SP Flash Tool Format all, that's why your persist and nvram partitions are gone - bad advise. Let us continue discussion on xda — alecxs, Jan 13 '22 at 13:47
