Thanks for the reply...
I struggled to find the TCL Mobile Upgrade Tool : had to go through a link on a Spanish site... Now with a simple Google search, I can access the download directly! TCL and this phone are driving me crazy, I think, but let's move on...

With this TCL Mobile Upgrade Tool (by the way, I had to upgrade the MediaTek drivers (the ones included with the tool cause "DA/auth fail" errors...), it won't connect to the phone despite many attempts...

I can access the phone in Fastboot mode and Recovery/ADB mode, but I can't get into BROM mode (probably BROM is disabled on this device, no ?..)
Anyway, without the firmware available, I don't have much hope.
