Hello everyone! i am having problems with note 4

stucked on xiaomi account
1) wipe data factory reset by cm2 mtk
- cellphone stucked on logo (android 3 dots loading animation,then stuck in 5 mins of loading)
2) ive tried to flash it with cm2mtk - so program erased memory

Now ive got mediatek preloader vcom device, windows says error code 10 (device cant start)
and i cant use sp flashtool.

what should i do to unbrick the device?

CellPhone was with xiaomi account, then it was bricked by me with cm2mtk (full factory reset) (boot stuck)
then it was hardbricked with cm2mtk (try to flash, but cm2mtk made only format)
then cellphone recognized by windows as mtk port...blah..blah with error 10.

so.... good cable +
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f979...l#post12739026 firmware for a start (for china version) (format+download spft)
then write nvram with direct write mode of spft( ctrl+alt+v) then menu "window"=>"writememory"
there we need to add !binary(not img) nvram file.bin! and set begin address 0xab00000 for nvram and flash it.
then nikel_global_images_V8.5.3.0.MBFMIED_20170913.0000 .00_6.0_global FLASH WITHOUT PRELOADER

all firmwares needs custom "cust" file or you will get spft error (to big something...blah..blah)
now it works fine.
