Flashing a android phone?

Currently I have a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, It's a pretty good phone and I LOVE it.

Now I need to flash the phone. So I can remove the sort of broken root on it and to update it. Its runs 5.0.1 Android Lollipop and such.

 

I have looked over many websites and I cant find any stock or modified (I would prefer stock) images of the phone to flash with, Am I unable to flash it? Or can I just use any old ROM from a phone? Does any phone expert have a idea?

 

EDIT: The closest I got was a Samsung Galaxy S5 image for Vodafone networks but I dont think I can use it with my phone

Wow this was old as heck, Need to update this signature!

no, doing that risks bricking your phone, most roms have a custom kernel also built into it, almost all roms are made from the stock, with exception of miui and a few custom roms but based off the stock image.

 

what root program did u use?

did you try reading through this site? i prefer xda developers but i have used this site for a few phones

hopefully what u are looking is on the site, i didnt see anything on xda, unfortunately custom roms are usually made for the more popular brands like samsung and motorola

my lastest phone is a zte and even i couldnt find any stable custom roms or even a safe root and the phone has been out for 2 years already
