You need to flash the ROM prior to the kernel. Doing otherwise, the ROM (usually including a kernel) will overwrite your kernel of choice.
ALSO, it doesn't seem like this package is compatible with your phone since it errors out at the model number. Choose a different ROM or contact the ROM maker.
Edit: If you want to transfer something else to your phone, go to Mounts and storage then Mount USB storage. Then connect your phone to your PC, a new drive should pop up. This is your SDcard contents.

Now my computer can see/copy to/from it.
now I need to find some right/compatible ROMs only, right? no need for kernel.

Most if not all ROMs will include a kernel.
Yes you need a ROM that is compatible with your phone. It is strange that this one doesn't work, might be a bad download or simply an error for some reason. Post in fergie's thread, who did the ROM port, if you need help.

[Completed] [No Root] [No Usb Debugging] [No custom recovery] unlock Gionee E3 without Data loss

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and a beginner to learn about android devices. I have a Gionee E3 android device (Asian version - English) with Android 4.2.1 on it. Unfortunately I have forgot the pattern lock and to make matter worse the following problems are also included -
1) No root - the device is not rooted
2) No USB Debugging
3) No custom recovery (I guess, only (stock recovery), Android system Recovery is displayed when tried pressing volume + and power key combination )
4) No wi-fi or mobile data could be enabled as the lock won't allow even to slide the screen from the top to get quick access to these things.
5) Windows Xp on my pc
I have tried the following -
1) ADB method to delete the gesture.key, but as the device is not rooted, failed with this attempt with several errors.
2) Tried from Cygwin, but the SU command gave error - -bash: su: command not found
3) Tried Aroma file manager zip file from Android system recovery ----> apply update from SD card, returned error - Installation aborted. Tried to resolve by fixing the updater script file through Notepad++ with different versions of Aromafm but nothing works.
4) Tried with several pattern cracking software zip files through Android system recovery ----> apply update from SD card, still getting error - Installation aborted.
Kindly help me to recover my data intact.
Don't want to root the device and there may be the risk of wiping the data off.
I have also tried to backup from Android system recovery ----> backup user data and 300 MB of data has been backup on SD card. Does this include SMS and phone contacts too with whatsapp data also?
Thanks in advance and sorry for long description, just wanted to make sure you guys know all the things I have tried. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

[Completed] Search firmware or dump: TrekStor ST10416-7a

Hello,
I do not speak English, i translate this text with a translator online, thank you for your understanding.
I buy 2 identical tablets of the TrekStor brand.
Model name: ST10416-7a
Processor type: QuadCore-A33
Kernel: 3.4.39
Build Number: ST10416-7a_20150925_V1.2.2
Firmware version: V1.1.9_20150917
The tablets are "root" method.
On one of the tablet i deleted files important! :silly:
Now it starts until logo "Android".
Another problem, i can not install a custom Recovery (CWM TRWP).
Unfortunately, I find this not the right firmware.
To save the tablet , I think do a " dump" or " Nandroid " with the tablet that works.
I followed the tutorial "Making Dump Files Out of Android device scores" of the site XDA-Developers.
I extracted: boot.img, and recovery.img system.img.
Then i made a package ".zip"
I turn on the tablet in recovery (power + volume up).
That the Recovery Menu:
Reboot system now
Apply update from ADB
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from external storage
Apply update from extsd storage
Apply update from usbhost storage
Reboot to bootloader
Power down
View recovery logs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I selected the "Apply update from ADB" option to install my package "zip"
I open a terminal and type the command:
Code:
adb devices
He turns to me: "03389948c80500000000 sideload"
Then i tape.
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
The tablet me back:
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
If I try to other controls with "sideload" (adb root or adb shell...)
He turns to me:
error: closed
Thank you for helping me.

[Easy Guide] How to downgrade, root and install custom ROM on Vodafone Smart Ultra 6

Many of us are using 6.0.1 with this device. And we can tell you would want to root this device... otherwise you wouldn't be here.
To root the device you are required to downgrade to 5.1.1. Recently ZTE has removed all the official ROMs for this device that contain 5.1.1 files. This was the most common way to downgrade, by downloading these files and side loading them with ADB. However, I have found a Romanian version of the 5.1.1 ROM that is suitable for the root process.
You will need:
Vodafone Smart Ultra 6
A computer
ADB Platform tools
Micro-USB Cable
Firstly, download the platform-tools.zip from: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
-extract the platform-tools.zip and place the folder anywhere on your computer.
Secondly, download the Romanian stock ROM from: https://bit.ly/2IwkUCT
-extract it and move the update.zip folder into the platform-tools folder.
Lastly, download the TWRP recovery from: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424952165
Now, make sure you have the Android USB Drivers installed. You can download from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
Now that is out of the way, lets flash the ROM onto your phone.
Reboot the phone into recovery. (Power button + VOL up (release the power button 2 seconds after "powered by android" logo, otherwise it will reboot)) Also plug in the phone to PC.
Now, select 'Apply update from adb'.
On the computer, head to the platform-tools folder and open CMD with that directory. (you know, the cd C:blah\blah\blah)
Type in
Code:
adb devices
to check if your device is detected by the computer. If it shows the device name along with sideload, then it is fine.
Then, type in
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
Wait until the process is complete and the phone says 'Install from ADB was complete.' in the bottom left of the screen on the phone.
Reboot the phone and you should see Android 5.1.1 setup screen in the Romanian language. Set it to the language you desire and connect to Wi-Fi. Log into your Google Account and do not set up a lock on the phone.
Now, head to Google Chrome and download KingRoot apk: https://kingroot.net/
Install the APK and try to root. It should work.
Now, go into Google Play Store, and install Rashr Flash Tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en_GB
Move the TWRP recovery img file from the PC to the phone, and then open the Rashr Flash App and grant root permissions.
Scroll down till you see the 'Recovery from Storage' option. Select that and flash the recovery img.
Now, that should work. When it is complete, find and download the custom ROM you would like to flash. In my case, I will be using the MIUI 7 ROM. (links of other ROMs below.)
Transfer it to the phone and reboot to recovery. Once you are in recovery, wipe everything except internal storage and flash the ROM. After flashing, then you can wipe internal storage and reboot. You can also root if you desire.
You have now installed a custom recovery and a custom ROM to your phone. Give ya self a pat on the back.:good:
List of ROMs you can install on this device:
MIUI 7: https://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377403-port-rom-miui-v7-beta-for-vsu6/
Flyme 5.1.5.13 LP: https://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377296-port-rom-flyme-os-51513-lp/

Outstanding guide
Thank you

I don't understand this bit, sorry
"On the computer, head to the platform-tools folder and open CMD with that directory. (you know, the cd C:blah\blah\blah)"

Does any 5.1.1 stock ROM works? the link for the Romanian is no longer available.
Thanks.

Link is down, i am betting zte or vodafone did a dmca takedown on it

Is it possible to get a new link?
Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, it just occurred to me that the link is broken, thanks to the person who contacted me about this via PM.

Hey, happy to help!
Open Command Prompt (CMD) on your computer and browse to the directory of your platform-tools folder.
command example: cd C:\platform-tools
- I suggest keeping your platform-tools in the root directory of your C: Drive to access it quickly
Alternatively, go to the platform-tools folder with Windows Explorer, and SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK inside the folder. Then select "Open powershell window here" After that, type in cmd for the first command and continue with the guide.
If you have "open command prompt window here" then that is fine, you don't have to type in cmd.

Thanks for the link. The rom has Google FRP enabled, so to bypass it, I followed this vid:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFd33_kiEzo
I'm not sure how safe this guys APK is, but it did work. If there's an easier / better way to bypass FRP, please let us know.

thanks bro:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Kingroot not installing
Followed all the instructions - adb and installing Romanian ROM... but they get stuck on the Kingroot bit - "app not installed".
Done some searching on the 'net for a solution; even tried this FRP bypass (although I don't fully understand it and all it did was ask for my Google password - worrying - and then did feck all else!).
Any ideas, please?

Sorry for late reply, I assume you may have already fixed the issue. If not, try install a different kingroot APK with a different package. You might also get the warning telling you that this app may do permanent damage to your device, allow it and install.
Also, FRP stands for Factory Reset Protection. It is Google way of iCloud Lock, where if your phone is erased without authentication then it will lock itself on the Android Setup screen. Asking you to log in to the Google Account that was previously on the device before it was erased. There are services that fix this, or you can even bypass this yourself with some methods. But if a site asked you for your password for FRP then that is definitely a scam.
Sadly, I do not have the phone anymore so I cannot go in-depth the errors no more. But I will try and help as much as possible. ?
Also contact me on my Telegram for faster replies, it's a lot more easier for me: t.me/yomarshmellow

Try using super su, it worked fine for me

Hello! How to Russify Vodafone Smart Ultra 6??

I was trying to KIngRoot on a stock ROM with instruction from Modaco and it was not working either.

Hi, I have followed the steps above and downgrade the VSU6 to 5.1.1 but unfortunately the phone goes to a loop when booting (optimizing applications 1 to 14). I have been able to enter in recovery mode and switch it off. Is there anything I can do to fix the mobile? I appreciate if somebody could advise me what to do.
Update; I did a factory reset and telephone boot in version 5.1.1. (Turkish Edition)
The problem now is that I can not root the phone; I have tried KingrRoot and at third attempt it rooted the phone for a few minutes. Now KingRoot does not even try to root. I have tried kingo ROOT and it took ages, it indicated the phone as Rooted but it wasn't. Anybody knows how to root this mobile successfully?
Latest update: Finally installed Magisk throw TWRP and this automatically ROOT the mobile so it could be that it was not necessary to downgrade phone to 5.1.1. After this I used TWRP to install nutsda modified LineageOS 14.1 and gappss; everything is working.

I just went through the same issue, finally got it resolved. The issue is that you need to install an Android 10 recovery first. Easiest way is Mod Installer Pro 2. Follow the instructions and make sure your Bluetooth module is compatible with Android 10 or else you wont be able to use Bluetooth. Do not try and just install the APK and try to flash the new recovery, it wont work. You MUST do a factory reset, install the APK and flash the new recovery immediately after the factory reset. Also here is the latest MCU 3.71d from this thread. I came across your post only because I was looking for a fix. I hope this helps.
BTW, I am running this ROM on my Dasaita PX6 with MCU 3.71d came from this ROM with MCU 3.45_1.
If you need help, this video should give you guidance.
