Can you get into fastboot or recovery?

You might be better off posting on XDA.

 

I remember when my brother's phone was soft-bricked (bootloop) it had similar problems. I had to run the battery out (non removable) and then was able to get into recovery IIRC... then used SP flashing tool IIRC to flash the relevant parts, and then flashed TWRP and a new rom back onto it. Sorry my memory isn't great and this was at least 5-6 years ago when dual core phones were still a thing... and it was a mediatek chipset, which I don't normally mod.

If you can't get into either one then yeah your phone is probably fucked. Ask on XDA.

Sorry, assumed you knew of it as it's probably the worlds biggest modding community re android phones etc. Where did you get the flashing guide from BTW?

i just google most of it and the little knowledge i remember when i bricked my old phone (same problem, fixed it btw) but i am not use to the new tools today. and the freaking usb not recognise is the straw that breaks the camels back. i will just try to fix the problem one by one hopefully in the end of this i can fixed the phone or i will not have any phone to use in a while T_T.

Sorry I couldn't be of help here. I'm not familiar with that phone.

 

Are you using the same PC where you had ADB installed to flash the phone in the first place? 

 

It might not work, but try what I said above, running the battery completely out, then connect it to the PC (don't charge it again after emptying, just connect to the PC). But it definitely won't hurt it. I think I had to do this several times before it worked IIRC. When you connect it to the PC, try to boot it into recovery.

How did you use it already?  that looks like it's to un-brick your device.
