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 ?

can I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 through different forums, or through YT ? cause I am afraid that if I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 in that site, my android's language will turn in to chinese which I cannot understand. Thanks in advance.

Is the coolpad forums down in India?

there's a DNS server issue since few months whenever i try to log in, anyone have any clue about it?

Sure looks like it.
Looks like the forum as is down just like their products usually are.. Been hunting around from yesterday for a rom for the 5 lite.. The present stock firmware has call issues and the update, just refuses to update.

Its still not back up?

Are there anyone with coolpad cool play 6 updated to Oreo beta? Can you please share system dump done with command
Code:
adb pull /system/
or file VCRSIN00X1000MPX1711170.CPB . All link to cool play 6 oreo update is to coolpadforums.com and cant login or register there to get link.

I will kill the site updaters if I meet them¡

Lol
This is the thanks coolpad customers deserve I guess. Regret the day I bought this.​

{Dont mind the spaces in the Url as i cannnot post Urls}

I sued coolpad & they closed their forum
I sued them in the consumer forum at my town. They didn't even bother to respond to the notices. The court passed an ex parte order in my favor and awarded me more than 50k rupees and a new note 5 phone too.
I posted this story a little while later on the coolpad forum but the moderator kept deleting it every single time lol. I encouraged other guys on the forum to sue coolpad but then they deleted my account and some time later they shut down the forum altogether.

Is there any Gsi rom for coolpad not 3 lite

[PROJECT] FIH Firmware Download Site

Hi all,
Few users may have found my topic on DOSPY forum that I provided firmware download for Chinese users via Baidu Netdisk.
Because Chinese users can obtain free 2TB storage space on Baidu Netdisk, it's pretty convenient to provide huge amounts of firmware at once, although download speed is limited without premium account and users outside China may need some tricks to download files from Baidu Netdisk.
Now let me introduce my new project - FIH Android Phone firmware download site.
First, here's the temporary version I placed on my website:
https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/index_en.html
I've ordered business class Box account for firmware uploading. The benefit is, this can be done with interested users around the world.
The final form I want is a website with standalone domain name similar to lumiafirmware.com by @Cholens , but use Material Design instead of Fluent Design, and can provide multi language and multi cloud drive download choices from Baidu Netdisk (For most Chinese users), Tencent Weiyun (For Xinjiang users), Box (For International users) and Google Drive as backup.
Anyway, with this project, it will be convenient for Nokia enthusiasts in XDA to download firmwares.
Want to join our project and upload firmware?
PM me your Email and I'll invite you to Box.com for firmware and OTA packages upload.
Allowed files:
- Stock firmware, either nb0 or extracted fimwares (with mlf)
- OTA packages from either Googleapis, Internal Azure Server or FIH OTA Server
- Encrypted nbX firmware isn't allowed currently
Without @blackpanther0582 , @heineken78 and other elses, this can be only done in China - or simply impossible.

Thank you very much ????

please work on some custom rom.

Hello. Any news with the download site? The temporary one seems to not be working.

OST error message File dame of rom D1C-562C-0-00CN-B01. Nokia 6 (TA-1000). Can not flash, upload file may be error, please take a look.
waiting for news from you

Try a different firmware. I think you may have chosen a wrong flash file.

Jelly 2 firmware made available by Unihertz

A post to let people interested in small Android phones know that the firmware of the Jelly 2 has been made available by Unihertz. Would be great if a LineageOS version of this could be made.

The Jelly 2 seems to have very similar hardware to the Atom XL, same CPU and GPU for a start. I think the device tree from the XL can be used as a baseline to create a device tree and build LineageOS for the Jelly 2:
GitHub - ADeadTrousers/android_device_Unihertz_Atom_XL: Device tree for the Unihertz Atom XL (model)
Device tree for the Unihertz Atom XL (model). Contribute to ADeadTrousers/android_device_Unihertz_Atom_XL development by creating an account on GitHub.

I would be so happy if someone did this!!

I briefly started looking at this yesterday evening, though no promises at this point. This is the first time I'm trying to build a custom rom from almost nothing, so it will take some time to get it right.
I haven't yet received the device, and won't be able to test anything at this point, but I've forked the LOS17.1 repo and started extracting relevant files from system.img and vendor.img. I'd be very happy to collaborate with someone that have more experience building custom roms, or even pass the ball!

I just got one yesterday to play with and noticed that I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. Haven't done much digging into it yet

Me too! Really want it!

The official forum of Unihertz is down and the link to the Google Drive is also unreachable. Is there any other links to download these files?

wrong topic
And you can still use the Drive link. You just need to request access.

Yesterday I installed Android 11. Took me a while to get it working on Windows 11. But after three hours of fiddling I finally succeeded. Install all driver packages provided by Unihertz! I even went as far as manually installing the inf files in the first package. When you want to scan the com ports, turn the phone off en press up + down volume when connecting USB. Only then will the com port become available.
And disable driver signing in boot options, the test-mode and signage-off mode don't work for drivers (Windows 10 commands).
Battery usage has improved massively, approximately 3% drainage per hour stand by. Notification LED still not working. But, fingerprint reader works in banking apps. I came from Meetoul's LoS18.1, which was near perfect. But the battery drainage was getting on my nerves. Overall quite happy with Android 11, even if it's only been 20 hours.

Curious how things are going here. How did the Android 11 test go? Any updates on dev?

Am watching for development of the Jelly 2. I think this device would be an excellent candidate for a vanilla Android OS. I'd buy one from Unihertz to use as a daily driver if it came with the possibility of AOSP

Are the ROMs on the google drive stock ROMs ? The Unihertz forum seems to be gone other than their social media. Been a big fan of Unihertz products but been away from them for awhile until I saw the Jelly 2 specs. It seems a lot of the info on rooting and TWRP that was on the Unihertz forum is nowhere else to be found.
Most threads here on rooting seem to have links referencing the absent Unihertz forum and a reference to reddit also seems missing info. I made the first TWRP for the Unihertz Atom so I guess I can probably work through getting the Jelly 2 rooted and TWRP on it but if anyone knows other sources with more complete information please post here.
