jessiesmith I see your post is missing:
fastboot flashing unlock, I need to run this otherwise it won't let you flash recovery2.img
My post is not missing anything. Please read it carefully. It is not for people with locked bootloaders.
jessiesmith Then I ran
fastboot reboot recoveryPhone screen shows "Android Fastboot", with several options.
I am assuming this is a typo or you don't remember correctly, you probably mean it shows "Android Recovery".
jessiesmith On bottom of screen, I see a lot of error messages about "Invalid argument", "failed to format /cashe", etc. I ignored it b/c yesterday on another phone, I was able to continue even with those messages.
Correct, don't worry about those, they are recovery logs, not really errors (this is the other reason I am assuming you are in recovery and not Android Fastboot; Because Fastboot doesn't show those logs).
jessiesmith I then ran
adb push super.bin /dev/block/by-name/super
I used a different image name, but I don't think filename matters as long as the image is correct.
yes, the file path
/dev/block/by-name/super is very important, but not the file path to the super on your computer is okay for any valid super img.
jessiesmith I then ran
adb push super.bin /dev/block/by-name/super
You seem to have missed an important command (see my post you replied to - you need the chmod command).
jessiesmith After reboot, it show me the bricked screen "Secure Boot Failure! dm-verity corruptiopn"

It doesn't say your phone can't boot. It says that software cannot be trusted (as authentic factory images).
You have the option to press the power button to continue booting, or else it will turn off.
From my experience, sometimes I need to hold the power button for about a second, but not two long. Or try holding for 1 sec, let go, and hold for another sec. Then let go and wait, maybe it will boot up.
jessiesmith Keep running these commands:
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.bin
fastboot reboot fastboot
Good, those are important.
jessiesmith Fastboot cannot access the device.
So probably you need to install fastboot drivers, check the link in [Login to see the link] original post. I repeat again that if you read my post, it explains that it is for updating roms, not installing for first time.
jessiesmith On phone, I clicked shutdown, it just show me a bunch of error messages and won't shutdown.
If I guess correctly it will shut down, but you need to be patient (and wait a few more seconds, then it will shut down).
jessiesmith CMD run mtkfastboot.exe, plug the phone into PC, phone screen shows ""=> FASTBOOT mode..."
On another CMD, ran:
fastboot flash super super.bin
Hopefully this will unbrick it.
Good luck!
