Ok guys, it seems like I've missed on all the action here ;)
So, answers:
1. You can install FOTA on a rooted phone - proved by me and a few other members of another forum. Although, one guy got the No command screen, which is recovery splash screen. He admitted to tinkering with the firmware though. Anyway - you can have OTA updates, but you've got to be careful. And by careful I mean backup first. Use SP Flash Tool read back option for that. Even if your phone is currently not booting up - make a backup of it, just in case.
2. There is a working TWRP recovery for this phone now - you can [another forum it out[/url].
3. I've uploaded stock [another forum partitions[/url]. Did not divide them, so they can be easily flashed via Write Memory in SP Flash Tool with the starting address at 0x1d80000 (their total size is 0x2000000).
Do create a backup beforehand though, as the only one who tried it (a few times) was me, and sh*t seems to just work for me.
4. There is a way to create a ROM for the device. In fact, there is a way to create an SP Flash Tool ROM for any MT67** device without MTK Droid Tools. Which doesn't work with these SoC's even after patching boot.img for adb and root shell support anyway.
I've explained it [another forum here[/url].
5. As a summary to the above, you can unbrick your phones. What I just wrote should be enough, but you can also read my posts [another forum another forum] for even more useful information.
Use Google Translate. I know it can get tough. But you could've made it easy, having backed up your device in the first place
