Hello Saurav. Can you please post here the exact problem you facing? Because the Process and all required files are already provided above. You must not face any trouble flashing stock rom if you go through the steps properly.
Hi Maqbool, I followed each and every step you have suggested and also downloaded the latest version of flash tool.However whenever I hit download, it never starts and stays idle. I checked net connection and it is working fine. I have downloaded this twice and it has not yet flashed my device. I have cross checked the USB debugging mode on my sparkle V as well. Could you suggest what changes I might have to apply or what I might be doing wrong?
I am working with windows 8.1 and have installed all the required drivers you have mentioned above.
