Some very old or very specialized MTK chips (e.g., from feature phones or early tablets) may require legacy versions (like SP Flash Tool v3.x), while new 5G chips demand the latest "SP Flash Tool v6" or even specialized versions released by the device manufacturer.
Attempting to flash firmware designed for a different MTK chipset than what is physically in the device.
Newer MediaTek devices have introduced authentication requirements, which can lead to platform errors.
Let us go from the simplest, most likely solution to the most advanced.
