Alcatel Onetouch PIXI 4 6" 8050E Firmware / Stock Rom

You might one of the user of Alcatel Onetouch PIXI 4 with 6 inches Android Smartphone, today, I will provide you a tutorial on how you flash or install a new firmware for your smartphone. Onetouch PIXI 4 6" has a model number of 8050e, and this has a Android 5.1 Lollipop Operating system as of now. In this tutorial I'll help you to install the firmware through a free flash tool called Smartphone Flash Tool also known as SPFlashTool. Since Alcatel PIXI 4 is a Mediatek chipset, Its easier for us to flash, it has a MT6580 Chipset ID and SPFlashTool requires MT6580_Android_scatter.txt. Just follow the instruction below.

Firmware is a Technical term for Technician instead of Stock ROM. This tutorial is also the same in Installing original stock rom to your smartphone. Before doing this, let us know first the reason why we need to flash new firmware. here are some of the following list of problem why we need to flash new stock rom;

• Infected Virus - Infected Virus is a common problem not just in Alcatel Pixi 4. This problem also called Monkey Virus where there is automatically installed application and sometimes it automatically Turn on the wifi connection of data connection and when it connected to internet, there are lot of popup ads and updating unknown application. This will not remove through Hard resetting or factory resetting your android 8050e smartphone.
• Stuck or Hang on Startup - This will happen when we tried to install some custom recovery or accidentally flash incorrect ROM. sometimes because of Virus. the best solution is to flash new firmware.
• Unfortunately app has stopped - When you open some application, it will popup 'Unfortunately app has stopped' This is because also of Virus. If clearing the data doesn't work then flashing is also the best solution.

Things to remember before proceeding

Take note that Flashing new firmware or stock ROM will delete all your data in your phone storage. including your Installed third party application save in phone memory, Photos, Messages, and Contacts, and also your Accounts.
