Help mtk6575 s7582 problem after flashing

Can I ask why you tried reflashing the firmware because of a pattern lock? That seems an extreme - and risky - solution.
Anyway, you are where you are. So if it still has a working recovery you could try going into that and resetting - maybe the tool didn't wipe the phone and the data were incompatible with the version of the software you flashed, in which case a reset will help. I don't know how to access recovery on this phone, but usually rebooting while pressing some combination of buttons is the answer. Or you could use fastboot to erase cache and erase data, which is equivalent to a factory reset. This sp flash tool is presumably just a GUI for fastboot, and may even be able to do those things for you - I prefer to to use fastboot directly, so don't know what this tool can do.
The alternative is to flash again with some software that's more compatible with the handset, if you can find any. Did you check that you had a good download of the stuff you flashed (e.g. checking an md5 sum to make sure it had downloaded correctly)?

No recovery at all? No custom recovery I can understand, but if you mean it doesn't have a stock recovery then, OK, not good.
If the flash tool doesn't include commands to wipe cache and data then all I can suggest is to ensure you have a good download of the file, or try to find another copy. Unfortunately I don't know where to start looking for these for this device. @mikedt is our best resource for Chinese forums and devices, but the problem is that these clones are very generic, so if there is more than one MTK-based S7582 clone using different displays, radios or whatever I could easily imagine that the software for one might not work on another.

My worry is that there may be more to it than the cpu model. If other components differ you might require the software to be built with different resources.
I tagged Mike in the last post, so he may have some advice on where to looks for this stuff.

Have you managed to put it back together?
I'm pretty sure Hadron didn't mean for you to open the phone and check, he was just warning that you needed to make sure what you were flashing was made for the exact hardware your phone contains.
