So here we go :) :

Required files :

- PC or laptop with working internet connection

- Stock firmware :

- Sp flash tool (stored inside stock firmware)

- USB drivers (stored inside stock firmware)

Let's begin :) .

1. Once you download firmware stock firmware extract him on Desktop to be easy for you to navigate files .

- Install first drivers , you can do manualy or run Auto Installer Driver v1.1236.00 open SmartPhone driver and run driver installer for you version of os 32 bit or 64 bit.

2. Now open firmware and delete CheckSum.ini because it shows error at the end of flashing with Sp flash tool when is that file inside firmware.

3. Now open SP flash tool add MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt , make sure that everything is checked , click on Format now check Auto format Nand Flash and Format whole flash except Bootloader and NVRAM Bin Region and click OK .

4. Now make sure your device is off , and plug usb cable on your phone and connect with PC now the format will begin . Once is finish , re-connect your phone with PC and fast click on Download button . Wait when is flashing finish , and once is finish unplug usb from your .

Now when everything is finish , power up your device normaly and check your if is everything working like IMEI , WIFI , Bluetooth .

Check imei *#06# it the status is invalid , turn off your device , write somewhere those two imei numbers check twice if is everything okay go to dialer and write this code *#*#3646633#*#* , now EngineerMode will pop up , scroll up and click on CDS Information now go to Radio Information now click on Phone 1 write inside input box AT+EGMR=1,7,"here you need to write your first 15 digit imei number" and click on SEND AT COMMAND , now go back and click on Phone 2 ] write inside input box AT+EGMR=1,10,"here you need to write your first 15 digit imei number" and click on SEND AT COMMAND . Once you do that , Power Off your device and power ON again , the problem should be solved :).

For those who have wifi error nvram warning err= 0x10 you need to root your device .

This is the way for rooting which works for me :) :

- connect your phone with wifi network and download and install Framaroot 1.9.3 APK

once you downloaded open app and allow uncommon sources in order to install app , go back to Download folder and install . Once you installed , open it and click on Install SuperSU and from drop menu click on Faramir once rooting is finish turn off your phone and turn on again .

Now download this app MTK 0x10NVRam Fix from this link :)

Once you downloaded open app and allow uncommon sources in order to install app , go back to Download folder and install . Once you installed , open it and when is finish reboot your device and the problem will be solved :) .
