Hello I'm new here so I didn't know exactly where to post this..
So, yesterday I rooted my POMP w89 (a phone I bought 2 days ago) successfully, and after changing the font a couple of times I got caught in a boot loop. I didn't install CWM but I am able to access standard Android System Recovery.
At first I tried wipe data/resetting to factory settings and rebooting after, this didn't work. After I tried also wipe cache, still nothing. So at this point I'm still in a boot loop. Then I read about flashing stock ROM's to android devices. So I download the USB driver, SP Flash Tools and ofc the stock ROM for my phone.
I then tried going through the procedure of flashing the ROM. I put in all the settings, but my computer won't recognize my phone without the battery, so naturally when I try to use SP Flash Tools, nothing happens.
Is it the USB driver? Why doesn't my device show up in device manager unless I have the battery in? Is there any way to flash ROM without SP Flash tools?
btw, my CPU is MTK6589
I hope you guys will take some time to help me, I would really appreciate it.
SOLVED!
If anybody has the same problem, the answer is simple: when you use SP Flash Tools to flash your ROM, unplug your phone before you hit download -> hit download -> **right before you plug it in, put in a battery at least 50 % charged** -> it goes through the process -> aaaand now you're golden
