You shouln't have bought Chinese devices like this. They don't provide necessary guide for their things out of their country. They do things in their own forums and own language.
Okay, I didn't find any ROMS for Kitkat for your device.
I just came to know that you can upgrade to Jellybean. I just saw this:

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.

You can ask the users who have the same device as yours like him maybe: suunnittelija

I believe ZTE has not released kitkat or lollipop updates, but there should be Cyanogenmod available. I quickly searched from Chinese sites and I found these:
CyanogenMod 10.2(Android 4.3.1) For ZTE U985
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-5719-1-1.html
[Live Team] [update fix2] CM11 For ZTE U985 special edition release
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-6748-1-1.html
Download links should be available on those threads but you need to login first and post comment to the thread so that the link will be visible. Chrome with Google translator is needed When I downloaded roms from Chinese sites they required posts in Chinese, all english posts was removed and they can ban user who posts in english. So just copy paste something clever from earlier posts. Good luck!

can I ?

There is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484547
but for now, there isn't a 'rooted kernel' for the more recent updates that you got OTA or via Kies.. so check my comment .
about reverting to the older stock rom. You might want to wait for ICS and a rooted kernel before going through the trouble of rooting.
WIth E120K, have you tried using the LTE service already? I am really wondering whether the LTE service work outside of Korea, especially in Australia. thanks
LTE on it works great. Does anyone know if there is a kernel for 4.0.4 for the E120K. I have searched all over the place to no avail.

There you will find all you need including links to Tegrak's recovery and kernel builds for UF29 firmware.
There's no kernel and recovery for the latest -- UK08 firmware (it isn't JB There are a few requests on Tegrak's blog for a kernel and recovery for the UK08 firmware so I doubt we will wait long - Tegrak is always on the ball

[Completed] [Q] Lollipop 5.0.2 for S4 mini.. Experience ? Impressions and installation

Hi.. I want to ask.. and sorry for my english
Is Lollipop 5.0.2 for S4 min Czech language ?
Which version should I choose 12 cm for phone ?
I think designation cm-12-20141119-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip or cm-12-20141231-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip or other....
View MD5 3fff18d949c4b4c898d50ef41d55998d View MD5 b3bebcf2f12d182bbd66f2bfe82287e9
Phone am ready to reinstalling rom, but I do not know what to choose from cm12 above numbers. I've never found one this marking. I still someone? thanks
Hi,
It would be best to ask in the rom thread you found the downloads in. I'm also assuming those are made for your exact device make and model number.
But it looks to me they are simply created on different days. The first is November 19, 2014 and the second one is December 31, 2014. Many roms get named that way, with the build date in filename.
Good luck!
j
I understand and I think that it is continuously updated. That is why there are so many files. So I pick the last one and install.
When I looked at the model number or any information about the phone I found no specific data. I hope it will be good.
One more thing. It is in the Czech language supported?
I couldn't tell you I'm afraid. I don't own your device and haven't used it. Again, check settings or ask in the rom thread. ?
5
that you did not consult me too. I hope that the rom i cz, and me will go lollipop upload to your phone when mam android 4.2.2 jb
I'm sorry , I don't understand what you are asking. You don't know where to ask for help? Ask in the thread that you found the rom in.
Here is your device section....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini
The general has lots of info. The Q&A section is for asking for help. And the 2 Development sections have roms for your device. Cm12 as well, if there is one. ?
Good luck! Thread closed.

[REQUEST] Xperia Z3 Unlocked Bootloader D6603 Stock Lollipop 5.0.1 ROOT

Dear XDA members.
I've looked all over XDA for a rooted 5.0.1 firmware but I couldn't find it anywhere, even though roots for 5.0.2 and 5.1.x are abundantly available.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 - D6603 - Unlocked Bootloader. I am a NOOB when it comes to development, yet I am very familiar with flashing FTFs using Flashtools, I am also familiar with ADB commands, accessing and using different recoveries, and installing modified ROMS.
I would like you to assist me in one topic or the other:
1- Either, guide me to the firmware number of the Z3 5.0.1 or 5.0 FTF and teach me how to prepare it to be pre-rooted with the latest SuperSU, so I would prepare the modified stock firmware my self and flash-it on my phone.
2- Or, if possible or already available and I couldn't find it, please link me to a Z3 D6603 5.0 or 5.0.1 pre-rooted zip so I could flash it.
I am very grateful for your assistance
PS: I posted this before in XDA assist, it had 46 views but no replies. I am hoping that here it would be more interesting to you. I am not sure whether I should post this as an XDA: DEVDB since I am not starting a development project. If this post is wrongly placed, please notify me.

AFAIK there is no 5.0.1 android for the z3.
You can flash either kitkat or 5.0.2 lollipop.
Why do you want 5.0.1 anyways, I don't see a reason.
This is the wrong section for questions/requests BTW. Use q/a section.

I need a 5.0.1 version to run a service that is only compatible up to 5.0.1.

Build your own ROM then for example, or look if there is one with that. Stock is not available with that version AFAIK, they skipped it.

Where is the link? Also, you are probably talking about a country specific update. This solution has been available for a few days already. Numerous links have already been posted linking to an Indian OTA update and a soak test from Brazil so it's nothing new. What I am truly waiting for is an actual update created specifically for each country.
