How to enter flash mode

Using mtkclient: Power off your phone, run your flashing command, then plug in the USB cable while holding both volume buttons to enter BootROM mode. Flashing through Fastboot might be possible but that requires unlocking the bootloader.

Installation

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.

$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install
$ pmbootstrap flashing flash_rootfs --sdcard
$ pmbootstrap flashing flash_kernel
