I mean what are factors for successful flashing ?
I have swiss(480) variant as main flash file.

I'd imagine your troubles are caused by the fact that you have chinese CMT and swiss rootfs.
Even as in theory they could be compatible in practice you propably can have problems when you mix-n-match components from different country variants.

It is just as @rainisto has said many times, you should not mess up with flasher unless you really know what you are doing, there are some things you cannot reverse once you do them

This includes;

delibrately flashing incompatible components
delibrately erasing/overwriting your MTD partitions
burning your CPU with overclocking
burning your flash eraseblocks with unwise swap partitioning
...maybe something else?
