It loads fine with Flash tool.
Look at the screenshot and see what discrepancies there are with your setup.

There are 2 files in there - your scatter file (it's marked (1) to distinguish it from mine even though it's not in the same folder), and the image file which is named recovery.img, as in the scatter file. When I load the scatter file the recovery box does not get ticked, even though the recovery image is in the same folder and named the same as in the scatter file.

I've attached another screen print of the flash screen.

The scatter file is yours so you should already have a copy. The recovery image is over 6MB, can I send it through PM?

I noticed the only difference in naming the recovery file was yours just said "recovery". I deleted the".img", tried again and Flash Tool came up with Recovery ticked!! Clicked Download and..............nothing! It just sat there.

Yes, .img is the file extension.
OK, no red bar? Do you have the phone off?
Try without battery, or try pressing vol down while flashing.

Tried power and volume keys, and it worked. However, booted into recovery and it's upside down!! Also it sees SU zip but if I click on it it just goes back to Install from zip. Then click on it again and I just get the circle with a hat!!!

What's that about???

I think we've done it!!!! I rebooted and tried again. Even though it was upside down I managed to get it to install SU. Then rebooted, but Root Checker still said not rooted, but SU auto updated. Another reboot and Root Checker says "YES!!!!".

Thank you so much for your help, patience and determination.

You really are a star!! I love you!!
