Help Software bricked Android phone

Two days ago i began to look after advantages and disadvantages of rooting a device, and i thought that rooting my phone would be helpfull. I rooted my phone succefully using vroot and i had not any issue after rooting. After installing Chainfire 3d which is only for android 2.3(according to my actual knowledge), when i installed the driver asked by this program the phone rebooted and get stucked at the vendor logo and nothing happens after the logo appears on the screen. My phone model is ALLview A5 Smiley. I do not have any backup at my disposition but i can access Recovery mode(vol up + power on). Please tell me how to fix this
 
Assuming you're accessing the stock recovery only, you could try first wiping the cache partition if you have that option available. Then try a reboot. If that does not work, you will have to consider trying a factory reset from your stock recovery unless you have the means on that device to flash stock firmware via proprietary or 3rd party software.

I tried both "wiping cache partition" and "factory reset" and it did not work.
I think that flashing a firmware would solve my problem but where do i can find one?

That might be difficult. Search brings up Romanium sites. It looks like the all view site has an ota update zip for it. Well, it says it's for All view A5 Smiley version 2. It says it updates from 2.2 to 4.4. Who knows.
 
I have a relative who owns the same smartphone as me and i can access that phone whenever i want.I can somehow "copy" his firmware or making backup of his system, introduce it into my sd card and then using restore user data?

What, precisely, are all of your stock recovery options? Do you have one pertaining to update.zip or apply update from adb etc?
