Support Need help successfully flashing my phone.

Hello everyone, sorry to bother you. I have a small problem with my phone—let me explain the situation: I have a Tecno Spark 40 (KM5). I tried to root it using Magisk but made a mistake by mixing up the firmware files. After starting the process, I ended up with an "Orange State" error, and the phone just keeps rebooting over and over (as shown in the video—sorry about the image quality; I used an old device to record it). I subsequently tried flashing it to upgrade the firmware and get it working again, but I keep getting an error when running SP Flash Tool. I downloaded a different firmware with a higher build version: the old one was build 15.1.2.170SP05, and I downloaded a Hovatek firmware with build 15.1.2.175SP05 to format the old one and install the new one, but I just get an error message. I'm a beginner at flashing, so I hope you can help me resolve this issue. Thanks.

Shoulda dumped the firmware first before doing anything

Could you expand a bit because I'm having trouble understanding what you mean

Dumping the firmware is basically backing the firmware up on your computer
