TWRP Recovery:
1. Download Drivers and install them (Disable Signed Driver Enforcement)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T6MTq1upNt_yxrPD9MfOHR8vTOzRisvs
2. Download Oppo R9s Plus/F3 Plus Marshmallow Firmware (CPH1611EX_11_A.16_180106) and Extract it using Winrar/7-zip into a seperate FOLDER
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xo-J5Pe65-fXyJbysVrAZYQ1mocfl53s/view
2.1 Also Download Oppo A57 Firmware and extract it anywhere you like
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B_0XnEjFCVsPWndzSnp2YTFYSkU&export=download
3. Download TWRP Recovery - Keep the recovery img in the same folder as of extracted firmware folder and make sure recovery file name is set to "recovery.img"
Twrp 3.1.1-0 (Latest) - Material Theme and Inbuilt Super SU Root available for easy rooting BUT Chinese language
Download and Extract only recovery.img and place it under firmware folder. u can delete other files.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkNNx2Ik6oRF-juBDNIilDUu31w6_oI_/view?usp=sharing
To change the chinese language to english please download and flash this zip But in English language you will not get Super SU Root option to root the device from built-in twrp. you have to download SU zip now. So root directly from chinese language and then flash the english language zip to be on safe and easy side
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634752414
Twrp 3.1.0-0 (old) (RECOMMENDED) -
Normal appearance of twrp and no inbuilt SU (sometimes it prompts to install SU, if you decline once, it won't prompt again) and totally English language. Most importantly you can flash opposite OTA updates (ozip) via this twrp

6. Press F5, uncheck all options except Recovery and double click on Recovery option and select the recovery.img from firmware folder.
7. press Start and Flashing will be success (Green color message). press stop and unplug the usb
8. Press and hold Vol Up and Power Button and release them when it vibrates. NOW IMMEDIATELY after seeing oppo logo AGAIN PRESS Vol up + Power button to Power Off your device to prevent booting!!!! (If you fail to turn off your device, mobile will boot and will auto restore the stock recovery. so you will have to re-flash the twrp again)
9. Now press Vol Down + Power button to Enter into TWRP

Hi, i recently update my oppo F3 plus (CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 marshmallow), and i try to root it using this method, it's always boot on the stock recovery when i finish (i did step by step every single world you said).
I think that's a security renforcement about this version of colorOs, i wonder if there is a way ton downgrade to the last version without losing my data (lots of apps), because i did root it whit the version that i had once.
Thanks you
Re: So, i flashed my oppo with the msmtool that you put on your post (all images expect datauser partition), and changed the recovery image before the phone boots..... and it woorks perfectly now.
PS: dont upgrade to the version CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 if you want root your phone, it won't work.

Did you uncheck "Reset After Download" option in msmtool ?
No, i didn't ; in all case i didn't let the phone boot after passing the recovery.img.
Wich version of rom do you have please ?
EDIT: when i downgrade the rom, it worked perfectly
NB: after downgrading , the first time, the phone boot directly and it was the new version (wich causes me problems) that was on it, even when i had flashing all the system

1. U need to uncheck reset after download option to not let the tool to reboot it phone into os
2. I have upgraded to a.18 build via ota 65mb and root worked. Tested with my own hands
3. Caution: if you dont CHECK userpartition in msmtool, after reboot it asks for Android password to proceed and we don't know that password. It's a checkmate. You need to wipe everything to boot
4. If you have patience please flash Magical 16.0 and test it. For me Wi-Fi is not turning on after flashing magisk.
5. I suggest you to use the twrp 3.1.0. bcoz the latest 3.1.1 does not flash oppo ota (.ozip)
Thank you for replying, can you please sent me a link for this OTA updates , beacause the one which is proposed for me on my phone weights 1.7Gb , and the only link i found is on a vientnam website wich doesn't work (probabely because i'm in algeria lol)

Unbrick theory...
trying the one touch upgrade utility. it wipes all data in phone and installs a fresh and latest ROM for the device. i guess this will also fix a bricked device somehow.
after this i will try to root it again using MTK tools and ap flash tools with a different idea in my mind... hope it works this time...
[EDIT] UNBRICK METHOD CONFIRMED WORKING!!!
One touch Upgrade
Hello there I'm a total noob in rooting and unlocking bootloads. I just got the same phone as my first android phone and wondered how to root it and I end up here. Now I'm asking how did you get the one touch upgrade software. I've searched the whole alcatel website but I keep getting on the FAQ page. Would you be so kind to put up the link for the software because I kinda bricked my phone here. I was also wondering what speed did you use during your Bin4ry script root attempt? Normal or Special? Keep doing a good job. Thanks for having the time to look for ways to root this phone.

I tried the normal mode as Bin4ry said that the others might brick the phone it it wasn't the right model. did you brick it using the srcipt? any way. still trying to root it and finding help from rua1 that has a great knowledge in MTK phones...
here's the link of the upgrade utiliuty... just install it and choose alcatel 4030 (if your phone is s'pop) then power of the phone remove the battery and follow the instructions on PC and wait till it says plug the phone while powered off.. plug the usb (without battery) then wait for it to detect the device. when it loads, put the battery back and wait for it to download the firmware.. it will take hours to download it.. it's about 2+gigs... good luck on unbricking.. hope it works...
Phone unbricked
Many thanks for the software. My phone is now back to stock rom. for the Bin4ry I also tried Normal because I thought it was for tabs only. So MTK is the only course of action? Any news on fixing the 2 point horizontal bug? and the alcatel FAQ says there's this TCL calibration that you can activate to you know "calibrate" the touch screen. Do you also get the problem where in the stock alarm app alarms but you can't dismiss it ( I set it to crazy mode ) where you need to press 3 buttons to dismiss but still won't stop I really need to pull the battery out. Help please Thanks in advance.

Great. So my theory really worked. Glad you unbricked it. I'm getting closer to rooting it. Just having problems flashing the cwm. Ones I managed to flash it, rooting may be successful. I use Mtk tools and flash tools and get help from rua1. Didn't use my alarm before so i'm not sure about the bug. Maybe you don't have to set it in crazy mode..
I tried to set the alarm in crazy mode and everything works fine. Just dismiss, unlock, and tap the three buttons with numbers and your done..
Rooted, finally!!
I finally rooted the alcatel spop. I will make a guide maybe later how I did it...

Disclaimer: Your warranty is now void. You do this in your own risk. I do not take any responsibility to your device. This will definitely brick your device which is normal but follow the right instructions to make it work again.
Credits: This is tuts would not be possible without the help from the creator of MTKdroid tools, rua1 from XDA Developers. Thank the guy for his wonderful tool. If you wanna know how I did it, go to his thread right here. I also wanna acknowledge The Solutor and rimmon1971's efforts for porting the TWRP to our device. You can find The Solutor's work here.
Requirements:
1. A windows based PC
2. MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tool
3. Universal ADB driver
4. One Touch Upgrade S
5. Root script
6. Patience
7. Most important! Use your brain!
Important!
To make this work without errors, don't use other drivers available in the web. Just install One Touch Upgrade S first. It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone. Use the provided ADB driver for the MT65xx_android_phone. If ever you get stucked in an error and your device wont boot anymore, just use One Touch Upgrade and your phone will be as good as new...
Guide: CWM/TWRP recovery
1. Download MTK Droid Root & Tools & SP Flash Tools, ADB Drivers, One Touch Upgrade S, and the Root script. Extract them anywhere in your computer.
2.Install ADB driver.This step is now optional to get adb working. You can now skip to step 5 if you just want to get rooted with CWM/TWRP recovery installed.. In your phone, go to Settings>Development. Set to on and check USB debugging.

3. Connect device to PC. Driver will fail to install (thats normal). Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Note: in Windows 8, this will pop-up. do this:
4. After installing the Universal ADB driver, go to device manager of your computer. Follow the images as descirbed.
ADB commands should work now (if you have ADB installed) and you won't have any problems about MTK droid tool not detecting phone.
5. Be sure that you have already installed One Touch Upgrade S before this step. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file by clicking on the Scatter-loading button.
6. UNCHECK BOOT and leave RECOVERY checked. Disregard what is on the photo. There's are reports that the latest firmwares are incompatible with the uploaded patched boot.img.
Note: By default, the CWM recovery will be selected in the SP Flash tool. If you want the fully working TWRP-recovery (I recomment this because CWM recovery is not fully functional), just click RECOVERY and replace it with this file.
7. Click Download button. Click yes on the download warning. Turn off phone, remove battery and connect the phone (without battery) and wait until SP Flash tool detects the phone and watch as it flash the image.
8. If everything passes without errors, unplug the phone, reinsert battery and boot to recovery by pressing power + volume up.
9. You should boot in CWM/TWRP recovery. We are ready to flash the Superuser app to gain root.
Guide: Superuser
You can use mtk droid root and tools here. Just plug in phone to pc while still in CWM recovery. Run mtk tools, wait to detect phone, click superuser, then build.prop, then delete china. Your done. Or use the guide below if you have problems with it.
Using CWM recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on CWM recovery, plug the phone into PC again.
2. Navigate using volume up and down buttons. Press Power button to select and Back soft key to go back.
3. Select mounts and storage>mount USB storage.
4. Copy the root-glory-2-4030E.zip to your sdcard.
5. After copying, select unmount and go back.
6. Select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>root-glory-2-4030E.zip and select yes - Install root-glory-2-4030E.zip
7. It will flash the app to the system including all needed binaries. I also included the fix-permissions banary which is missing from the ROM.
8. Reboot the phone and wait. It will boot normally and no data will be lost. You will see superuser app in your app drawer. You are now rooted!:thumbsup:
Using TWRP recovery to flash superSU
1. While still on TWRP recovery,Connect the device to PC.

bootanimation problem!
I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the animation works fine but when i hit:
Code:
adb reboot
the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.
so once I booted, I tried again
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.
I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...

Found out the cause of this issue. The stock ROM has no fix_permissions binary. So I pushed the binary and tried to fix perm again and now custom bootanimation.zip works!

I am going to write you some simple steps to install CWM 6.0.3.4 / TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery on your Lenovo A850.
I will be very detailed, advanced users should skip the boring stuff
This guide was writed based on this thread. A similar guide can be found at this thread. Look there for more info.
You will need:
- Rooted Lenovo A850 (simple guide here, not tested)
- Mobileuncle MTK Tools (GooglePlay)
- Recovery Image for A850 (CWM or TWRP)
BEFORE GOING ON, MIND THAT I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR PHONE.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
INSTUCTIONS:
1. Download the recovery image:
First of all we need to find out what firmware version our phone has (ROW or CN).
I can see mine looking the Baseband version (located at Settings->About phone->Version Infos->Baseband version) which is "A850.ROW.v18", so i have a ROW firmware installed. I suppose it will say something like "A850.CN.vXX" if you have a CN filmware.
If you don't know which version you own, try one. If it is the wrong version, your phone will just not boot into the recovery. Reboot the phone and install an other version.
Now we can download the right recovery image version.
- For ROW firmware download this (Mirror 1 from source thread).
(This version of CWM never worked for me, scroll down at bugs)
- For CN firmware download this (Mirror 1 from source thread).
(Downloads include both CWM and TWRP recoveries)
After downloading, extract the content (use 7zip program). You will see 3 files, we will not need the "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt" file. You can delete it or keep it if you want to flash roms in the future.
2. Move the revovery image in you SD card:
Connect your phone on your PC and mount the SD card. Now move the recovery image you want in you phone's SD card:
- For TWRP is the "recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.0.img" file
- For CWM is the "recovery_z_CWM_v6.0.3.4.img" file
(You can delete the other one after that)
When the move finishes, disconnect the phone.
3. Install Mobileuncle MTK Tools:
Open GooglePlay on your phone, search for "Mobileuncle" and install Mobileuncle MTK Tools.
4. Install recovery: (IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DO NOT PROCEED)
Open Mobileuncle MTK Tools. (You will be asked to give root permition to the app, select always yes)
Click on "Recovery Update" and the app will find the recovery image in your SD card. (in the first line, do not click any other recovery)
Click on the recovery image you selected (recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.0.img or recovery_z_CWM_v6.0.3.4.img), click OK to install recovery... wait some seconds, and then click OK to reboot into recovery.
Done! You are in the recovery
(If the phone reboots and then shutdown, the recovery.img didn't work. Try an other version.)
How to get into recovery: (2 simple ways)
- Power of your phone. Wait some second. Press the power button and bot h volume keys and not let them go until the logo appears (the phone will also vibrate). It takes up to 7 seconds to open, keep pressing the buttons until the vibration.
- With Mobileuncle MTK Tools, open it and click on "Into Recovery Mode".
Keys:
- CWM: Use volume keys and the power button to move around
- TWRP: Touch the screen, swipe etc.

Bugs:
- I got an error will trying to backup (CWM ROW version), "can't mount data" . If you face this problem, better install this CWM version. It worked for me
I cant download the cwm recovery image files from given mirror. Please attach another link for the download of files.. i wish to install cwm on my a850... i have a ROW a850... and will this cwm get rid of my chinese stock recovery.. the reason why i want to install cwm is because i cant understand chinese.. thank you in advance... hope you can help me.. thanks...

I do not want to mirror the files since they are not my work. The links work fine, try again please
If you can't, try this file (ROW version ONLY). It is a different version, i have tested it, this is the version i am currently using. I do not remember who made it but his name is written in the recovery. Use at your own risk! I take no responsibility!
What will possibly happen when something goes wrong about installing cwm on my phone?.. will this get rid of my chinese stock recovery?... thanks again...

Yes it should get rid of the chinese recovery.
If something goes wrong you will probably have to install a new recovery again, nothing special, but when you mess with your phone i do not know what you may click on. I do not know how experienced each user is, somebody can delete the whole rom of his phone clicking a wrong button... and i do not want him to come back and say "you did that".
thanks sir.. i've followed all your instructions.. i have installed TWRP on my a850 successfully... However the CWM does not work... CWM was the first recovery i tried because im much familiar with it but when i enter recovery mode, TWRP is the one installed... But still, i got a new recovery which i understand... Thank you very much sir and more power to you... If you have other mods for lenovo a850, can you please share it here... Thanks Again...
Thanks for your Tutorial, I have replaced stock recovery with TWRP successfully.
Do you have any custome ROM that can be flashed into this Lenovo A850 by using TWRP ?
I used TWRP to flash the ROM from this site xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-2-14.23544/ , but failed (stuck at Lenovo logo at boot).

Even though i use CWM, the bootlogo stuck for me was not caused by the recovery.
I had the same problem. You must first install the s121 rom.
WARNING after the install you will not be able to get back just with a CWM, TWRP restore. (i believe you will have to flash the stock rom again to do so)
If you want to proceed, follow this video.
(when you click Firmware Update, wait 2-3 seconds and connect your phone WITH battery closed, that is what i couldn't do)
hi, what is my version ?
thx

Just installed the CWM finally, yup it is in Eng and the most important part is wiping out the chinese language. thanks
I have to agree, sending to recovery terminal by using the hardware key power button + vol up/down key is just too difficult to do so, most of the time sent me to meta or factory mode. Mobileuncle tool works but what I am most preferred by using the button in case the ROM inaccessible and I am unable to reach mobileuncle to do the restoration.

Welcome to the thread, it's been long time i was waiting for a single comment other than mine : p.
well, i got my hands on "CWM" and it's in English as from where i get it i saw it in english language. One thing i haven't tested it, coz i'm not sure about my device 'bootloader' status. don't know incase it's unlocked or locked. i think CWM can be installed/flashed only when bootloader is unlocked. so i'm not installing CWM until i'm sure about safety.
"Framaroot" worked for me too last night but "supersu" icon did not appear in menu but i installed an app to confirm root and "supersu" notification came up for granting permission. what ever, Will you also please share "framaroot" version you used and what exploit worked for you. i used framaroot 1.9.2. and please tell me about "bootloader" too.
i'll upload "CWM 5.5.0.4" for y511-u30 or u25, but again i have not tested it. i'll edit thread about how to install. : ). take care and post results after testing. i hope it will be safe. goot luck.

It's ok about version, any chance of remembering "exploit" you choose to root device "boromir" or "Barahir"?. as i remember, "Barahir" worked for me. again not sure. but device got rooted without showing "supersu" app but hidden and installed.
anyway, i have uploaded Framaroot app and in short i'll be uploading "CWM".
is your device "bootloader unlocked"? i'll not recommend you to try installing "CWM" without bootloader unlocked.
CWM information/img/files added.
I am trying to find unlocking bootloader solution for every one and then will add "CUSTOM ROMS".
faramaroot v1.9.2
select "install Supersu"
then "boromir" but not sure
its nearly 2 months ago i have rooted with faramaroot,

Ok. Thanks for replying. I am not sure but i think, to flash custom ROM "bootloader" needs to be unlocked. Maybe 'CWM' don't need bootloader restriction but required root.
Try to find way to unlock bootloader for our device. There are ways but some cost much and the one which don't is official way and they have not answered any of my email/query yet.
It not a problem for me individualy to get bootloader unlocked but i want to find out solution for every one.
One more thing, just want to make sure that it only with my device serial or same with some others too.
1. Serial mentioned in phone settings is strange like "0123456.." and serial behind battery is different.
2. Incase, u ever boot into chinese bootloader/recovery by pressing vol- and power button. Did u happen to see "Board test fail"?
Thanks, I'll be waiting for ur reply.

u r correct
1. serial no is same 123..................F, i will check letr on backside
2. i had installed recovery with "RASHR" app avaialble at playsore and restarted fone into recovery with same "RASHR" app.
Vol- and power i think does not work or only it is used to "fast boot" the fone
however Vol+ and power shows board test fail but still u can test some hardware, all menu comes in chines but still camera, mic and other hardware can be checked.
i always reboot to recovery by writing commands to terminal emulator.

Thanks for info, u r helping. It clear doubts regarding regarding issues and i could move forward for more tests. i'll try my best to make addition in main post about how to flash/install recover VIA "ADB". i hope....
I enter fast boot by "adb" and the command i am gonna ask u about give no results, except dots "....". Tried even entering into chinese mode/fastboot but same result.
Can u confirm "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" without qoute's. It only show info about bootloader, either locked or unlocked. Thanks again.

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 XDADISCLAIMER:
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 !

does not work
It says root failed on my VF695 and therefore cannot install TWRP.

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)
Come to the otherside

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!

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).

How's CM12.1 running for you? Everything working OK?
I bought a cracked version of the 4/64 version of Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro unlocked bootloader, rooted, and with preinstalled fully working Google Playstore and Play services running on the official firmware 2.0.8.
But lately there's a very nice update development from 4PDA website for the device! It took me a while before I made it work and a lot of trial and error.
I will make a full detailed easy to follow step by step tutorials on how to do it with all the links for the files required.
The results will be:
A fully converted v1.1.1 custom firmware without the chinese apps
TWRP Recovery
fully rooted
certified playstore and google services fully working
THE PROCESS COULD ALSO UNBRICKED THE PHONE
Requirements:
PC
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro (MTK soc) V1.0+ V2.0+ (4/64gb ONLY)
Files (will be provided)
working brain

...........TUTORIALS SOON
TUTORIAL UPDATE!
MY DEVICE IS 4/64 with unlocked bootloader
Unofficial Qin F21 Pro (MTK chipset) firmware, version 1.1.1 multilanguage.
Thanks to @redsat, @gaguga and the whole 4pda community.
Install at your own risk and responsibility.
For testing purposes only, will be updated or changed if necessary.
Use SP flash tool for flashing, bootloader should be unlocked on the phone (via @mlgmxyysd tool or Ubuntu boot image). Having the full own ROM dump is highly recommended in advance.
Changes:
-Removed chinese applications
-Decrypted data partition
-APK installer with no restrictions
-System partitions are writable
TWRP recovery 3.6.0_11-0 is added
(In TWRP the phone memory is accessible via path: /data/media/0)
WARNING: FLASHING THE FIRMWARE WILL WIPE EVERYTHING! I SUGGEST BACKUP IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE DOING THIS. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE DONT BOOT, SOFT/HARD BRICKED! THIS TUTORIAL IS TO DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
ALL FILES REQUIRED FOR WINDOWS https://www.mediafire.com/file/tl8hv77gl0vo6sd/qin_f21_pro_mtk.zip/file
download and extract zip
extract "F21PRO_1.1.1 (2).zip" (the firmware)
extract "SP_Flash_Tool_V5.zip" (flash tool)
install drivers
open "flash_tool.exe"
select scatter file from the firmware folder
click download
turn phone off
hold back button then plug usb cable to pc. It should start flashing
after download complete, unplug then boot to TWRP then reset factory
Congrats! You now have chinese free apps firmware with TWRP Installed
If it wont boot "DEVICE ENCRYPTED", just go to TWRP and FORMAT DATA then reboot (it should boot to system now)
transfer "boot_2.img" phone or transfer it to a USB Flashdrive (more easier to locate) (FOR 3/32 VARIANTS TRY TO USE THIS BOOT IMAGE BOOT.IMG 3/32)
boot to TWRP once again
go to device path /data/media/0 or USB storage path using OTG
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img" to boot partition to fix the device twrp path to /sdcard (IMPORTANT! boot is an IMAGE FILE not ZIP FILE. by default, TWRP is set to check for zip file and will n0t se IMAGE FILES in the directories. YOU NEED TO TAP THE INSTAL IMAGE BUTTON so image files will appear)
reboot and proceed to installing ROOT and Google services
HOW TO BOOT TWRP:
* + heart button (upper left) + power on. once douqin logo appears press up button + power on immediately. TWRP first boot is in Russian language. just change it to english change twrp language
HOW TO ROOT + GAPPS with playstore certified + fix keypad annoying issue
transfer all the app APK from the "APK" folder youve download
install everything (QinPad be a more stable keypad input)
open gboard and enabled both gboard and QinPad (this should give you a quick switch of input in the notification bar everytime you will type something)
open MAgisk app and update the apps to 22.1. phone reboots (DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 24.3)
Open magisk again then Install Magisk > Select a patch file > choose "boot_2.img" in your directory (path where you transfer it)
transfer "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip" to device
boot to TWRP
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img_patch" IN THE BOOT PARTITION. then reboot. should be found in download path in TWRP
go TWRP again and flash "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip"
reboot > SYSTEM
you will see playstore. you will have an annoying message "device isnt playstore certified" just ignore it
open MAGISK app go to settings and enable MAGISK HIDE, search module and install "Busybox for NDK" then reboot
open MAGISK app, search module and install "MagiskHide Props Config" then reboot
open Terminal emulator app
type "su" enter (grant permission)
type "props" enter
type "1" enter
type "F" enter
type "30" enter
type "25" enter
type "2" enter
type "y" enter
type "y" enter (phone reboots)
after reboot wait gapps to update (around 5-10 mins) then sign in to playstore
you've now enter Playstore
go to playstore settings > about > click update playstore
wait for it to update the version and keep checking in playstore settings > about > IF DEVICE IS CERTIFIED
If the updated playstore still said " DEVICE IS NOT CERTIFIED", proceed to manual
install device id apps from playstore and copy your GSF ID
register it manually here > https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1
go settings ~ apps and look for playstore and play services and clear data. reboot phone and Playstore should be certified!
Congats! your phone now is rooted with twrp, no more chinese apps, and with fully working google services. I suggest perform a TWRP backup and store it somewhere safe for future use.
HOW TO FIX NO/DELAYED INSTALLED APPS NOTIFICATIONS
Thanks for JawadEly for the info, it works!
1. Install all your apps
2. Install terminal emulator app and system app remover app from playstore (this will give you the apk path you want to systemize)
3. open magisk, search and intall "APP SYSTEMIZER" module then reboot.
4. open terminal emulator app
6. type "su" and grant the permission
7. type "systemize"
8. You need to set Selinux = TRUE by choosing "s"
9. once its set to TRUE, you can now systemize any app provided you know the apk path of the apps installed.
10. enter "3", here is where you put the apk path of the app you want to systemize
11. to get the apk path of installed app open the "system app remover" app you installed.
12. go to user apps and LONG PRESS an app you wish to systemize.
13. copy the apk path then go to terminal emulator and paste it. Type "1" to confirm.
14. Go to settings > apps list > clear storage of that app you transfer as system app
15. done! just repeat the proceedure for each app you wish to fix the notifications.
BEWARE! Be careful using system app remover. Don't uninstall system apps required for the android system. You might end up in a bootloop. This app is also used to remove bloatwares of OEM firmwares.

UPDATE! MY DEVICE IS 4/64 with unlocked bootloader (must)
Unofficial Qin F21 Pro (MTK chipset) firmware, version 1.1.1 multilanguage.
Thanks to @redsat, @gaguga and the whole 4pda community.
Install at your own risk and responsibility.
For testing purposes only, will be updated or changed if necessary.
Use SP flash tool for flashing, bootloader should be unlocked on the phone (via @mlgmxyysd tool or Ubuntu boot image). Having the full own ROM dump is highly recommended in advance.
Changes:
-Removed chinese applications
-Decrypted data partition
-APK installer with no restrictions
-System partitions are writable
TWRP recovery 3.6.0_11-0 is added
(In TWRP the phone memory is accessible via path: /data/media/0)
Separate TWRP as boot.img attached as well (thanks to 4pda comrade @yurxxl)
Also you can install Magisk and GAPPS as zip packages via TWRP.
WARNING: FLASHING THE FIRMWARE WILL WIPE EVERYTHING! I SUGGEST BACKUP IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE DOING THIS
ALL FILES NEEDED for WINDOWS https://www.mediafire.com/file/tl8hv77gl0vo6sd/qin_f21_pro_mtk.zip/file
download and extract zip
extract "F21PRO_1.1.1 (2).zip" (the firmware)
extract "SP_Flash_Tool_V5.zip" (flash tool)
install drivers
open "flash_tool.exe"
select scatter file from the firmware folder
click download
turn phone off
hold back button then plug usb cable to pc. It should start flashing
after download complete, unplug then boot to TWRP then reset factory
Congrats! You now have chinese free apps firmware with TWRP Installed
If it wont boot "DEVICE ENCRYPTED", just go to TWRP and FORMAT DATA then reboot (it should boot to system now)
transfer "boot_2.img" phone or transfer it to a USB Flashdrive (more easier to locate)
boot to TWRP once again
go to device path /data/media/0 or USB storage path using OTG
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img" to boot partition to fix the device twrp path to /sdcard
reboot and proceed to installing ROOT and Google services
HOW TO BOOT TWRP:
* + heart button (upper left) + power on. once douqin logo appears press up button + power on immediately. TWRP first boot is in Russian language. just change it to english change twrp language
HOW TO ROOT + GAPPS with playstore certified + fix keypad annoying issue
transfer all the app APK from the "APK" folder youve download
install everything (QinPad be a more stable keypad input)
open gboard and enabled both gboard and QinPad (this should give you a quick switch of input in the notification bar everytime you will type something)
open MAgisk app and update the apps to 22.1. phone reboots (DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 24.3)
Open magisk again then Install Magisk > Select a patch file > choose "boot_2.img" in your directory
transfer "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip" to device
boot to TWRP
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img_patch" should be in download path
flash "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip"
reboot THE CURRENT SLOT
you will see playstore. you will have an annoying message "device isnt playstore certified" just ignore it
open MAGISK app go to settings and enable MAGISK HIDE, search module and install "Busybox for NDK" then reboot
open MAGISK app, search module and install "MagiskHide Props Config" then reboot
open Terminal emulator app
type "su" enter (grant permission)
type "props" enter
type "1" enter
type "F" enter
type "30"
type "25"
type "2"
type "y" enter
type "y" enter (phone reboots)
after reboot wait gapps to update (around 5-10 mins) then sign in to playstore
you've now enter Playstore
go to playstore settings > about > click update playstore
wait for it to update the version and keep checking in playstore settings > about > IF DEVICE IS CERTIFIED
If the updated playstore still said " DEVICE IS NOT CERTIFIED", proceed to manual
install device id apps from playstore and copy you GSF ID
manual register it here > https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1
go settings ~ apps and look for playstore and play services and clear data. reboot phone and Playstore should be certified!
Congats! your phone now is rooted with twrp, no more chinese apps, and with fully working google services. I suggest perform a TWRP backup and store it somewhere safe for future use.

Thank you for this! I managed to get everything installed and running. Will be testing it out in the meantime! Thanks again bro! No more bloatware!
If you have a 32GB model, when using Flash Tool, uncheck the tickbox saying "userdata" as leaving this on will completely brick your device.

I'm not sure. I found that warning from a Telegram group 3 days ago as someone already bricked their 32GB model when they flashed it with userdata option left being checked

I'd suggest to use Traditional T9 IME app. Not sure if this supports Korean as most of the languages supports English, French, Russian, etc.
