MediaTek K80 is stuck , computer store tells me the firmware chip is corrupted To start with I did a factory reset to wipe out my files and apps before giving my tablet to my niece.
After the reset the tablet is stuck at the screen with the android guy in the corner and MEDIATEK across the screen. it will not boot any further. I took the tablet to a repair store and 3 days later he tells me the chip is corrupted and he cant(be bothered?) do anything because its a Chinese clone?
I have researched many sites but cannot find a scatter file or rom image etc.. the following is  what I have found inside my tablet:
On a stickered chip:
E960 V1.2 YK18091021
6580A/WA/1+16/3G/B15
GXQ 2018/09/26
DL_BT_MM_QC_

ALSO, TAKEN FROM &quot;ABOUT TABLET&quot; :
Android Version:7.0
Android Security Patch level: 1Feb.2016
Baseband version:  MOLY.WR8.W1449.MD.WG.MP.V23, 2017/05/16  17:00
Kernel version: 
3.18.19
c@c-S2600JF #2
ThuOct11 17:29:47 cst 2018
Build Number:
MRA58K test-keys
Custom Build version:
E960v1.1_HJC_03_3G_HBOE_FL_WXGA_bigbattery_4_64

I am completely lost and would really appreciate any help possible.
Thank you in advance,

The kernel version 3.18.19 is correlative with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, which also correlates with Security Patch level. The ROM is built userdebug test-keys so this is most likely (ported) custom ROM.
Looking for baseband version there are lot of different 'brands' for several phones or tablets, which is unusual.
What they have in common these are low-budget devices running entry-level MT6580 processor with serial number 0123456789ABCDEF in fastboot mode.
Indeed this looks like a typical chinese clone device often with fake android version and/or fake hardware specs (see #40386).
Nevertheless factory reset will not have such negative impact, only cache + userdata partition is formatted which does not harm the firmware/ROM.
The best source for 'stock' ROM is your device itself. Do a read back with SP Flash Tool and create your own scatter file with WwR MTK

check that device has unlocked bootloader and/or adb root access in recovery mode. download platform-tools and enter recovery/bootloader mode with volume keys
in bootloader mode factory reset by formatting cache + userdata from fastboot
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata


in recovery mode formatting cache + userdata from adb shell with mke2fs (where mmcblkp1p99 is placeholder for partition number of the block device)
adb devices
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/*/*/*/by-name
adb shell mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblkp1p99


Reboot your device and wait a long time. device is encrypted on first boot, that might take up to 15 minutes
