Unbricking my Itel 5616?
Unbricking my Itel 5616?

My Itel 5616 would not receive or make calls via both SIMs despite displaying full network status (both SIMs are working fine). Upon examining the device, an "engineer" decided it would require flashing. In short, he only succeeded in bricking it after finding its .pac file online.
Question: How do I revive this phone?
Your responses are eagerly anticipated.

do you know if he took note of the build number of the phone before attempting to flash? or do you remember the original build?
and which firmware build he flashed with? also was the flashing process successful or not?

As for the build number, I don't know if he noted it down before flashing (is there a way I can find it, probably in the battery compartment?). Regarding the firmware, he first flashed it with one that he got from https://firmwarefile.com/itel-it5616, I think. That was successful; however, since the phone's original problem persisted, he said he would need a .pac file, which he got from Hovatek's forum. When he tried flashing that one, however, it did not progress at first. Then, after several "wuruwuru-to-the-answer" attempts, he succeeded in flashing the .pac file but bricked the phone in the process.
I hope I've said it well.
