S4 clone hardbricked - GSM-Forum

Hello, I have a cell S4 clone, I think it is of MediaTek brand. The model may be MT6572 or MT6575. I used it one day, I made a mistake and I bricked it.
Attached I send some photos of the disassembled cell phone.
In an attempt to recover it I destroyed it worst and now is "hardbricked"

Those are all data I have of the model:
- MT6572
- Model: GT-i9500
- FCC ID: A3LGTi9500
- In theory has an internal memory of 250MB and a RAM of 240
- It has inscriptions made in 03/03/2014

I tried:
- Using Smart Phone Flash Tool (various versions)
- I tried 7 or 8 ROMS.
- I tried several drivers (MediaTek Preloader, MediaTek usb vcom DA, and others), also I tried a tool to clean not used drivers, called USBDeview
- I tried with several PCs

Results so far: Originally cell phone was blocked on "Android" startup screen and I was able to access the recovery menu. The first time I tried to flash a ROM Flash with Smart Phone Tool, the system started, and it went through the red bar, the lila bar, the yellow bar and finnally it threw an error. After this, the power buttom does not work anymore and I can't access recovery. The PC still recognizes and flash tool, too. But since that, I can not pass the "Enable dram failed" error.

Comment: When I leave it connected by USB to the PC, the sound detection on the PC, is heard as if it were connected and disconnected.

- If anyone knows why "Enable dram failed" happens. I will appreciate it.
- If anyone knows or realizes, which is my cell phone model, in order to search the correct ROM. I will appreciate it.

I appreciate any help !!!
