Thanks, but I have problem rooting device.
By installing drivers from Prestigio site it looks to me that ADB driver isn't installed and/or part of that drivers package.
When I connect device to PC while in USB debugging mode, in device manager (WIN7 x64) I see triangle in front of Other Devices -> Android Incorporated GSM Handset.
Adb also can't find any device.
Can you upload ADB drivers for PAP4500DUO or share link where you found them?

Yes. Device drivers are from Prestigio site:
http://yf2.value4it.com/Service_Files/Smartphones/PAP4500/PAP4500DUO_Drivers.zip
And ADB driver that is missing in official drivers is from:
http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
I don't know about Win8 64-bit and Win7 32-bit since I don't use them, but try as I did.

Hello,
could you please tell me if after booting up the CWM, recovery mode, the console screen appears upside down?
Can this be used on Pioneer P80W?
do you have recovery image for Pioneer P80W?
Thanks,
Magatrix

?
First time after i run mobileuncle and reboot to recovery, phone rebooted to CWM, but now it goes to orig. recovery? I tried to install again but then phone stops on the logo screen with small letters recovery mode. Any solutions? If I go with volume down + power button, same thing.
THX
I solved the problem.
Just put recovery image on internal SD card, and that was it.

I used for non "T" model, but I think it is the same for both models.
At least they say in repair shop for prestigio that the software for both model are the same.
My non "T" was running stock 1.0.24 for "T" model, and now I'm on prescott v5.0. Both ROM's are for "T" model.

I found custom recovery from here:

I think it is in Chinese, I have not installed it yet.
Does anyone knows that is it possible to build new recovery by using http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and does it change the language to English?
I tried that tool by using Chinese recovery.img. It created new recovery.img successfully without any errors, but I have not tried it yet. Is it safe to use? I used builder just with recovery.img but without recovery.fstab because I wasn't able to find it.
What if the device fails to boot? I do have original firmware on .zip file, but not sure is it possible to boot and install original firmware from SD card.

ZTE stock recovery is actually in english !!!!

My bad didnt check beforehand, it seems the stock recovery mode on the zte v985 is actually in english which allows to flash roms from zip files placed on the root directory of the micro sd card.
To enter ZTE Recovery Mode do as follows: Firstly power off device then Hold down volume down key and then hold down power key, when the zte logo appears on screen let go of the power key but still keep the volume down key held you will enter zte recovery mode which will allow you to wipe data, update from micro sd card etc.
Hope this helps.

4.1.2 update was released today. Here's the direct link for download:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3082485858&uk=3442944625
It's recommended to update first from B03 to B04 and then do the 4.1.2 update. Here's the link for 4.0.4 B04:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3921007642&uk=3945654451
How to do 4.1 update. Remember to backup first!:
1. Download V985_update_4.1.2.7z upgrade package file and unzip the file. Under the folders there's update.zip.
2. Copy update.zip to the external SD card root directory
3. Enter the "Settings" -> "System Software Updates" -> "Storage card upgrade." and uncheck "retain user data upgrade". If this is checked, it will cause some issues and the phone might not boot.
4.Click the OK button to upgrade. Upgrade process starts automatically after a few seconds.

How to root ZTE V985 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
Hi, it seems that ZTE has brought a new android version to the V985 called 222200B1329ZTE V985V1.0.0B04.
I have a V985 with android 4.0.4 version B03 installed, rooted and equipped with Gapps. I can only upgrade into stock which removes my root and Gapps.
Can anyone tell me how to root the V985V1.0.0B04 android 4.1.2 version?
Thanks

I was able to compile and run fully working clockworkmode recovery from CM10.1 stream,
I was also able to compile and port CM10.1 to this device. Currently thinking if we could port CM10.2 to this device.

Phone won't start!
I have installed 4.1.2 update on my v985, but it was draining my battery very fast, i tried to install back to B04, but it was not working, i couldn't install. Then i tried to install Clockwork Recovery and now phone won't start, iz just turns on ZTE logo and stops!
Help please!! Is there anyway to unbrick my phone?

Phone is something like read only
I have a v985. I received it rooted, but a lot of message was in Chinese an it did not download my contacts from gmail.
I've flashed all ROMs that I found, finaly I'm stuck in "enterprise_V985_signed_101613_1017.zip".
Google play does not start. It just flashes up.
I have a Chinese application search app, where I can install apps. It seems to be installed, but the app is nowhere.
I can boot into recovery, but I can't wipe or format at all. Nothing.
I can run "install zip", it loads the zip, the commands are started, it writes that it is OK, but does not change the phone at all.
The strand that I can make photo, it is saved, I can copy files to phone and to sd card...
What can be the problem?

hello there! It seems to be quiet here, did someone solve the problem? I have also this zte version, all things is working correctly except the battery, the current rom is ics 4.0.4 v985v1.0.0B03, the android system consumes itself about 50% of battery everyday even when the phone is in standby, I would like replace the kernel with a new one, if someone has some ideas I'm very interested. :good:

Vodafone Smart first 6* NL *(EU) Rooting and More!
Done & Closed!​After a wild chase finding the correct tools and apk's this took me 2 days to complete an fully rooted and Simlock free Vodafone branded Smart Firt 6.
Most of the files can be downloaded from below here on XDA​DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may Void your warranty and can result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
It may be that you get an *softbrick *(bootloop) because Vodafone still pushing update's for their Firmware patching and upgrading the software!​
To be safe please use methods given by: Androrooter and or Kirito9 !​
#Rooting:
1# Download the root.apk onto your phone or SD card and install.
2# Now start the app and you will see it's all in Chinese, just click on the Root Shield Badge ontop of the screen.
3# Let it do its magic installing the scripts most likely it will auto reboot your phone without rooting it,
you must restart the root app again and click on the Badge (like done at step 2#).
~Now you are Rooted but the Superuser is Chinese and what i have noticed it's a temporary Root, if you lose root again just redo step 2#!
4# Download and install SuperSu-2.46 now launch an root app most likely the Chinese app will popup granting
for root permission, you must click on the colored (grant) button to accept.
5# Download an Root browser i.e. File Manager and let it gain Root permission, if SuperSu wont ask for Root it's now save to uninstall the Chinese app.
~From now on you permanently Rooted, don't go installing/modding stuff yet until you made an systems backup!
#Twrp or Cwm Recovery (PC version):
1# Download ADB Driver and install on PC. Download from here; http://www.datafilehost.com/d/2267ab98
2# Download TWRP Setup (thanks to Dees_Troy & Yuweng) and unzip on your PC.
3# Activate USB debugging under developer mode* and connect with USB to your PC.
(done by *tapping 7 times on the build number in the about phone section)
3a# Open the Twrp setup.exe and click on the next button.
3b# Just wait till the installation is completed followed by credits.
3c# On the next window, click on yes to proceed.
3d# Select Start Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MediaTek and click on ok
3e# Click on Yes to auto port.
3f# Now make sure your phone is connected, adb driver installed and usb debugging enabled, then click on OK.
~if you get any pop up msg on your phone screen just click on yes.
Just wait for a few seconds while the setup is been completed,
if the process was successful, your phone should automatically reboot into recovery.
~Now you need to make an full backup with Twrp so that all the files are safe!
#More Updates following Soon! To be safe please use methodes given by: Androrooter and or Kirito9 !

Kingroot 4.8 worked, so I ran the TWRP Setup and guess what another way to ruin the phone even further. Stuck in a boot loop now.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUYS GUIDE! It will most likely break your phone from start to finish!
Please provide a reset copy of your system.img and recovery.img for people who have lost their phones due to this guide, it would be very useful as the devices can be restored if adb / fastboot access can be achieved.

Well well QuantumRevenger,
Sorry to hear that this method didn't worked out nicely for you.
Maybe your firmware got upgraded and the recovery didn't stick?!
Did you try the combination Power + Vol Up while the phone is off and enter
the Recovery menu clear Cache + Dalvik after this reboot.
I can't help you with the systems files because i ditched the vodafone firmware for Vanilla 4.4.2 Android.
The only thing i can do for you is point to this thread where i moved towards myself-> MTK devices
Here you will learn an little how your MTK device works, also you can search XDA for an different Easy Magic TWRP or CTR or even Philz!
Enjoy
&
Good luck!

Do you know if this will also work on the UK model?

Hello RHodgett,
It most likely would work because this model bought by Vodafone for their (EU) market.
As we all know it's a cheap china phone suited for Vodafone requirements!
~Not speaking for the firmware updates they push once an while~
But rooting can be done very easy with the given root from my post or even now with the updated
Kingroot 4.8 said by QuantumRevenger. And like for the custom recovery it can get tricky mentioned by QuantumRevenger, i had no problem with this at that moment.
But i urge you to read my answer to QuantumRevenger problem from above, after that you can decide at your own risk.
Enjoy
&
Good Luck!

Thanks, I'll give this a go when the handset arrives in a few days and report back.
Can you explain how to then install the Vanilla 4.4.2 Android firmware? (or any other suitable stock firmware for the device)

No Problem & you're welcome!,
For flashing roms you need an custom recovery otherwise you can't Flash.
Nobody here is tailoring for our Vodafone branded(China) smart first 6 so you have to go where i send QuantumRevenger towards and where i am. (See post answering QuantumRevenger).
Here you can use the roms and learn more about our MTK devices in general.
For flashing roms you must install in the recovery as an zip file and then you're done!
MTK has other methodes to install but that's for advance users only.
Enjoy
&
Goodluck.

Hi, I've root using the Chinese apk and root checker says the device is rooted but I wasn't able to install SuperSU 2.46, it keeps saying the binaries need to be updated and it fails every time I update.
Rebooting using the TWRP setup just shows the Powered by android splash. I'm not sure what to do now?
Edit: Ok I've flashed a recovery from the threads you linked, finally got a bootloader working. Now to flash a ROM Got CM12.1 running, thanks!

DID not work for me

So I followed all the steps and everything seemed to work fine. The TWRP software said it was going to reboot into recovery but it is stuck at the android logo screen.
When I hold power button + up key its the same, stuck at the android screen.
When I hold power button + down key it boots into vodafone android.
I'm kind of stuck to what to do now (sorry I am really new to this)?

Darn that's a bummer! It worked for me and had everything running xposed, SuperSu etc. :/
Try another Magic installer use CWM or Phillz, they can be found here or via google.
So weird i bet Vodafone did a firmware push on there bootloader or not all EU firmwares are the same(dat would be pretty nonlogical).
Sorry for the troubles please try the above solution and report back if that fixed it.
Goodluck!

for root permission, you must click on the colored (grant) button to accept.
5# Download an Root browser i.e. File Manager and let it gain Root permission, if SuperSu wont ask for Root it's now save to uninstall the Chinese app.
~From now on you permanently Rooted, don't go installing/modding stuff yet until you made an systems backup!

That's the problem. SiInce the file is in ZIP format, downloading into the SD card and then doing the Power+Vol up, and update from SD zip, gives me an aborted message.
Putting the Zip file in the Phone memory (not the sd card) just doesn't open the file, saying format not supported.(casue it is ZIP)
What am I missing? please help with a step by step idiots guide, if you can .

The root is an normal APK there are only two zip files here; the TWRP and the SuperSu.
TWRP.zip is an magic installer for your PC with the given USB drivers and Debuging turned on(See my guide).
Now SuperSu.zip can only be installed via an custom recovery like TWRP.
I'm noticing you're trying to flash without an
custom recovery?, that's an no go.
1# Root with given or Kingroot 4.8.
2# Install custom recovery TWRP, CWM or Phillz (Must be an magic installer version via PC) all these versions can be found on Xda.
3# Flash SuperSu via custom recovery and replace the first installed Root!
That's all there is to it, no deeper layers on how-to install.
Enjoy

Good luck!

OK got it. THe only way I could get the APK into my phone is via the phones own browser from this site. I could only move from my pc as a ZIP file only. Hence could not install. But now its done. I think I am rooted now. Root checker still says not rooted, but I can use ES file explorer and have managed to remove a few app. Does this mean it is Rooted?
Can I remove the Rooting apk from the phone now without any adverse impact?
I have also managed to load the TWRP on the SD card. IF I want to Flash a rom, how do I go about it? Can you link and stable ROM which I can use? Need a small tutorial.
AND very many mahy thanks for your support on here and input.

Okay Onlydongles,
I don't think you have Root (yet!), Es browser has an side menu.
Here you must scroll down and select Root Explorer, that's the real test if you got Rooted!
If not install Kingroot 4.8 via your phone browser.
For ROMs you have to go where I send everybody towards ->MTK Devices (link given in answers above).
Flashing ROMs is easy done by custom recovery select the downloaded ROM zip and flash with the given creator instructions B).
Enjoy

Good luck!

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.
