In this guide, I will be showing you how to flash back to the stock rom using the SP Flash tool.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible if you damage, brick, or willingly alter your phone in any way shape or form blah blah blah, you get the point.
Prerequisites:
Make sure you have drivers installed, here.
To begin with, open up the SP Flash Tool.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then add the, "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" file in the, "DA file name" section.
You have now added the, "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" File. Now, add the scatter file with the partitions to flash stock files in.
This is important key to the process, so pay attention. Before we "find" the phone in download mode/upgrade mode, you have to turn the phone off, and hit the scan button first before plugin in your phone to the computer. Click yes to begin the scanning process.
Now plug in the phone to the computer, using your USB Type C cable, and then SP Flash Tools program will detect the phone, and put it in Download/upgrade mode.
Now that the program has placed the phone in Download/Upgrade mode, you have to unplug the phone from the computer, in order to verify/scan the files needed to flash.
Once the program finished verifying the files, you can then plug in the phone once more. It will then begin flashing the phone.
This is now the final screen you will see when the phone has completed flashing. Once you see, "DL(userdata)ok" that means the phone successfully completed flashing. All you have to do now, is press the power button until the phone powers on.
A few clarifications that may save some folks from the headache I just dealt with:
Before starting, ensure you have downloaded the stock image for the 6 or 6e from the Ulefone website or from the links on the main thread. Power the device off.
1. The MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin file will be located inside of the same directory as the flashing software. The scatter file will be inside of the archive the stock image is in. Make sure you have the correct one if you are using the 6e.
2. If you get an error when selecting the scatter file, pull the folder "Armor_6E_RF3_V01_user_20190516" (name will vary) out of its parent directory. (I do not know why this works). The flashing software will pull up a command line when the file is successfully added.
3. After selecting scan, respond "Yes" to the prompt that comes up before connecting the phone. The phone will not display anything while in download mode.
4. After the message, "scan success!" appears, select "Start all" to start the checksum verification process. Once it has finished, plug in (or unplug, then re-plug) the device and take a deep breath.
Hopefully this information based off of my experience is helpful.

The guide is for the Alcatel OT-918 (No D, N, MIX), single sim, Orange Pasadena, from Romania with Gingerbread 2.3.6, it might work on other versions to, but I can't guarantee that.
Care should be taken, while the Orange Pasadena is a cheap phone, modifying your software might turn your device in an unusable brick.
Unfortunately the Android version of this phone can't be rooted with superoneclick or other simpler methods.
First of all You need the following tools from the attached file:
USB Drivers
SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.00
AlcatelScatterRetriever01 - optional
Universal recovery for Alcatel OT918 (2.3.5 and 2.3.6)
Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74256292/Pasadena/Orange_Pasadena_OT918_root.zip
1. Turn off the phone, and connect it to the computer (Windows XP/7) with an USB cable, and install the attached drivers
2. Create a scatter file with AlcatelScatterRetriever01,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(alternatively you can skip this step and use the scatter file from the OT-918_Orange_Pasadena_Branded folder)
3. Run Flash tool and open the scatter file
4. Check only the recovery file from the OT-918_Orange_Pasadena_Branded folder
Double check that all other checkboxes must be unchecked!
5. Click on download
6. Connect the turned off phone to the computer, the progress bar should change its color and after a short while a small window with a green circle and ok should appear.
If it's not working remove USB cable, the battery, and reconnect the battery and then the USB cable and try again.
7. Remove the battery and the SD-card
8. Copy Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the SD-card
9. Replace the SD-card and the battery
10. Start the phone with the Volume UP and Power combo (release first the power button)
11. You should be in the OT-918N recovery, and should install the file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip from the SD-card
12. Restart and enjoy your root-ed phone.
For UNROOT make a full wipe from recovery.
Repair information:
If you got an Orange Pasadena which would not boot or is in a bootloop, at step 4 select all the files from OT-918_Orange_Pasadena_Branded folder and go on with the guide.
At step 8 copy to the SD-card deepROM 2.3.6. from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=323769&st=2320#entry16968462 ,
the file from http://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=%2BFgTiMPQgqQjcFeH30tIoZnLBEVANGQz3%2BeBBWub5m0%3D ,
which is the only functional custom rom as far as I know for this model of the phone.
If someone needs a functional (but incomplete) stock image feel free to p.m. me.
Still searching for a full stock image, which will be posted here.

Hello,
At step "1: Turn off the phone, and connect it to the computer (Windows XP/7) with an USB cable, and install the attached drivers"

Hi, I'm not fairly new to this forum but I silent read from a long time ago and now I decided to share something I found.
Let's say you're tired with rooting and xposed as some apps refuses to run upon detection of either or both of those, and custom ROMs out there didn't float your boat, you decided to return to the stock. No recoveries, just a plain stock. But you need that SystemUI with netmeter, or you're too lazy to re-log in 6 different Twitter accounts onto the Twitter app you've previously backed up using TitaniumBackup or similar.
Without any words let me start:
What you need:
Obviously an unlocked bootloader since we will flash a recovery, and locked ones can't do so.
Any custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP that's fine. Don't worry about its compatibility with the stock, as it'll be wiped again (if you want)
Flashtool, it already includes fastboot for flashing stuffs, otherwise why is this called Flashtool?
Your current FTF file
OPTIONAL : AromaFM if your mods isn't a flashable zip
For TWRP you can also use its built-in file manager
Steps:
Download and set up Flashtool
After installation there will be some folders like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install the drivers located in the Drivers folder, place your current firmware's FTF file to the firmwares folder, and for convenience, place your recovery in the x10flasher_lib folder, and rename it to something short and easy, like rec.img or similar.
Put your mods in the phone's storage/sdcard (and also your aromafm if you choose to use it).
Turn off your phone.
Open up Command Prompt (or console window of your choice, if you're not on Windows), and navigate to the flashtool/x10flasher_lib folder.
Run this on your console:
Code:
fastboot flash boot rec.img
change rec.img to your recovery's filename.
Plug in your phone with a USB cable while holding volume + button.
When done, plug it out and boot to your recovery by powering it on and pressing volume - button when the illumination bar lights up (depends on your recovery).
Apply your mods (flash mods, replace system files, remove bloatware etc.).
You may skip steps below if you change your mind to having a (compatible) custom recovery
When done turn off your phone again.
Open up your Flashtool, if asked for admin rights just say yes.
Click the bolt icon above the window, leave the Flashmode selected, and click OK
find your firmware, select it but don't flash it yet. Uncheck/check these options, you don't want to wipe your data, right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now press the flash button, located on the bottom-right of the window. When a window pops out (instructions to connect your phone while holding the back button), connect your phone with the Volume - pressed.
Wait the flash to finish, and unplug your phone.
Now you have your mods back and your app datas restored 'without root'~!
NOTE: I've done this on my Xperia E, for other phones I can't yet verify if this method works, so if anyone is interested to try this out go ahead and don't forget to report it back to me whether it's worked or not~
Hi all!
After a lot of research of a flashable firmware of this phone i was considering to trashcan it, no one even know what phone it is!
But i have one, and i want to mod it, so stay tuned because something will happen
So what i did? I simply asked Trevi if they send me the firmware, and guess what? They actually did! Im surprised, really.
Well, this firmware is tested out by me, so it's 100% working!
ATTENTION: I'm not responsable for any damage that could happen to your phone
HOW TO:
1) Download THIS package, and extract "Trevi Phablet 5 S 0813" on your desktop/whereveryouwant
2) Open the extracted folder, go into Tool and Driver
3) Open "6577 usb driver" and install them
4) Use THIS version of flashtool, so download it and extract the folder on your desktop/whereveryouwant
5) Open flashtool, select scatter loading, it ll appear a window, search for "Trevi Phablet 5 S 0813" that you extracted before, go into "software" - > " Phablet 5 S 20130716_e1909l_v77_tmx_trevi_6628_v20" -> select "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc"
6) It should appear like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7) Power off your Trevi Phablet 5S (remove the battery for doublechek that is off)
8) Click "Download" into Flashtool and AFTER, connect your Trevi (if you messed up with partition like me, do "Firmware -> Upgrade", it ll rewrite PMT Layout completely)
9) Wait some moments, all the system is being loaded onto your phone
10) If all went well, you should see this:
If you see like so, just unplug the phone, and power it on
If you don't see like so, just post here the error, and we ll find a solution to make your Trevi Phablet 5S work again ^^
Hope everything is clear and understandable, if not just ask ^^
[port] twrp 2.8.2.0
I managed to port TWRP for this Phablet
So we can now try custom rom, at least try to port it
Hope it can be useful
Bugs:
- You tell me
Download:
- HERE
HOW TO:
- Open Flashtool (First post download link)
- Select again the same scatter file as before
- UNCHECK all voices exept "RECOVERY"
- Download the recovery up here
- click on "RECOVERY", it show up a window, just navigate where's recovery downloaded, and select it
- press "Download"
- Shut down the phone (double check removing battery)
- attach it to the pc via usb cable
- wait some second, if a green circle appear just remove the usb cable, press VOL + and POWER BUTTON to enter recovery
- have fun!
ALERTS: TWRP need more space in recovery partition, you may lost your IMEI, you have been warned, so make a full backup before proceed
Thanks to
@yuweng for his amazing tool
@Dees_Troy for bring up TWRP

i have not tried this method but this is what i could come across while searching in xda forums....
you may also register yourself at XDA and search more or check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/unbrick-vibe-k5-plus-qfil-qpst-method-t3467830
IMPORTANT : First of all you should always have all the drivers installed on your PC.
READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE STEPS CAREFULLY AND THEN POST QUERIES.[/COLOR]
The following drivers are needed for this task:
1. Lenovo USB Drivers.
2. QDLoader QFIL Drivers
Search for them on google and you will find them very easily. Most of the time they are there in the stock rom zip folder under a folder named Drivers.
Install all of them.
1. Download the Stock ROM you need for your phone from here:
DOWNLOAD STOCK FIRMWARE (Thanks to Shreps)
2. Extract the above zip to a folder. You will get three folders: Drivers, Images and Tools.
3. From the Drivers folder, Install all drivers.
4. From the Tools folder, install the QPST Tool. In your Start Menu it will come as QFIL. Don't worry about that.
5. Power Off your device.
6. Open QFIL TOOL.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
7. Now On top you will see two options: 1. Flat Build 2. Meta Build
Select FLAT BUILD
8. In "PROGRAMMER PATH" click Browse and go to the folder named Images and select the one file it displays (something like prog_emmc....mbn).
9. Now click "Load XML" and select "rawprogram0.xml" file and then another dialog box will open. Here select "patch0.xml".
PC WORK IS DONE. DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD.
Your device should be switched off.
NOTE CAREFULLY: Hold "VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN" key (Do not press POWER button). and connect the USB Cable from PC to the phone.
Your phone should now display RED LED LIGHT and the QFIL Tool should now change from NO PORT to QUALCOMM.....Something like that.
You are now ready. Click on Download button on QFIL TOOL and then wait for atleast 15 minutes.
After the dialog at bottom shows "DOWNLOAD SUCCESSFUL" in blue color, UNPLUG your device. Wait for a few seconds or a minute and then POWER ON your device.
First boot takes about 8-10 minutes.
