Hi sth0r the ROM is stock or as far as I am aware it is stock (Banggood) . Play store was installed and everything was In English. I have ran root checker and it reports not rooted, bootloader is unlocked. Everything on the phone works perfectly fine.

Thank you for taking the time to reply it is much appreciated

Cheers Sth0r , i will have a word with her and try and prise the phone from her hands to flash the original firmware. , i dont understand what business it is of Snapchats whether the phone is rooted/bootloader unlocked etc but hey ho what can you do. I will post back when ive flashed it just so if others have this issue then they might have a working solution.

Many thanks for taking your time to find out whats happening.

Dear friend, when my phone is locked, I have nothing to do with anything and do not have access to Wi-Fi and the network. How do I update my phone?

Bro you need to download the update package, change the name of zip file to: update.zip. Put the update.zip file in root directory of your internal storage. Than use the 3 dots in system update screen., for manual flashing. Link is below for the zip files to download and a guide.

Hello my dear, my internet speed is very low. If I succeed to upload the backup file, I'll definitely put it in the topic.
