Vodafone Smart 4 Power (985N) upgrade to lollipop - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I have done extensive searching, in XDA and on Google, before posting this, but either links provided no longer work or one has to sign up to a subscription via cellphone number before one can download anything, so I am asking here if anyone has managed to upgrade the Vodafone 985N Smart 4 Power to Lollipop successfully, with everything working including the LTE/4G. If so, could you please provide a link to the ROM?
Thanking you,
Mark.

Can't Unlock Samsung Galaxy mini s5570 android 2.3.6 on T-mobile UK

Can somebody please help. I recently purchased a samsung galaxy mini GT-s5570 and would like to unlock it. I have used internet paid unlocking site but they replied that they could not find the code after more than 24 hours and told me that the last option is to contact the network.I am on android 2.3.6. A tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335548&highlight=unlock+gt-s5570 didnt work for me may be because it was for gingerbread 2.3.4. It seems the blm5 is different in 2.3.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried the tutorial in the link I posted above? Kindly tell me if you have done so so that I will know what to say because I found my unlock code with the help of the tutorial. The only addition is that, you may need not to press F3 and search downward when you first key in the search value. In my own case, the first result of the search took me to a place where there is six 0s like in three places. If you have noticed this place, you just need to press up arrow (not F3) as the code is located around the place. My problem was that I have been searching downward.
Just follow the instruction in the tutorial. It is easy to get. Let me know how far you have gone and don't forget that this method is for Samsung Galaxy mini GT-S5570.

[Completed] I want to buy an LG G4(VS986) on ebay. I live in India. I have some queries....

I just saw an LG G4 (VS986) on ebay. I live in India. The carrier is verizon, the VS986 is an US model. It is written that hotspot won't work. Also there is mentioned that verizon logo will come up during booting. My queries are:
1) Why hotspot won't work? Will I be unable to access WiFi also?
2) Why will verizon logo come up during booting? Is it common or the phone is rooted?
3) Will I also face problems regarding upgrading the phone to marshmallow?
That's all... I know these are too many questions but please help....

Have you tried using the router trick while it's checking for a software update? It didn't work for me, but maybe for you. Basically when you connect to your wifi for the first time, it'll take a little extra time on the Software Update screen, and disconnecting from the internet would let you hit next in theory.

Yeah i thought about that but figured it wouldn't work so didn't give it a try. I used that method to bypass FRP on Samsung devices years back. Was easy peazy then. Unfortunately I sold my ZTE Majesty Pro LTE. It still irritates me that I wasn't able to get past it and I am usually 97% of the time able to get past anything. Good looking out, ill remember to try that as another method in the future if I come across another one of these Majesty Pro LTE's or another non FRP able device.
Help!

[EDIT]
I'm sure there's some small thing we haven't thought of.
I bypassed this and created a tutorial for it. If anyone is still having issues take a look. Hopefully it helps you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/frp-zte-majesty-pro-z798bl-frp-bypass-t3800392

There is a temp bypass for ZTE running android 7.1.1. There is a video link showing how to do so but apparently I am unable to post being a new member. Try searching google, otherwise I will update this post later

Check post before yours. I figured it out and did a tutorial here. Full bypass.
On the Z899VL (majesty pro plus lte) I'm able to access every function of the phone except Developer Options, Google browser login, and force close on core Google FRP apps
Is there a separate thread for the plus or does anyone have any info on it?

PLEASE HELP - Need Older Samsung Tablet Stock Firmware (Note 10.1 [2014 ed], SM-P600)

Hello all,
I'm in a jam and hope someone can help. I have an older Samsung table, a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition) and I am trying to remove root in order to be able to receive OTA updates again. I have used various apps to try and remove root but they have only removed small pieces and the device is still showing up as rooted/modified, even after performing a factory data reset...it is still showing as rooted.
The biggest problem is that the device is so old that I cannot find the original firmware in order to flash it back to stock in Odin. I have looked EVERYWHERE on the internet but all links to the older firmware have expired or been removed. I even tried calling Samsung tech support but they were no help at all. I then even got desperate and tried calling a local BestBuy to ask for help from their Samsung Reps and Geek Squad, but none were any help. So now my last resort is to reach out to the Android community.
So, as much as I hate to bother you guys, do any of you out there still have an old stock rom/firmware for the Verizon (wifi only) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet (SM-P600P)? If so, PLEASE SHARE IT. That would be greatly appreciated. Many times I have hit a road block where no tech support anywhere could help, but you guys here at XDA have still come through when no one else could. You all have been lifesavers in the past, so I hope someone can help me this time as well.
Thanks in advance guys for any help that you can provide me. I've tried every website I can think of but keep coming up with nothing (e.g. I've tried Sammobile, Samsung, Kies, YouTube, here at XDA, etc.). Even if you can point me to a link that's still good where I can find the firmware myself, that would be great!!
Thanks again everyone.
