END OF DEVELOPMENT! READ LAST POST!
Most of people won't own this phone because it is only available in Balkan countries.
But whatever,I have spent some time porting various custom ROMs to it and now I am making this thread!
For people who encounter soft bricks I will leave the stock firmware which is prerooted available to download!
This post will contain how to root this phone and install a custom recovery,the second post will contain all of the custom ROMs and bugs for some ROMs and the third one will contain how to restore the firmware to not make one very very long post.
To root:
1. Download the KingoRoot apk from this link:
https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm
2. Check your settings if Unknown sources is enabled,after you enable it go ahead and install the apk
3. Now it is very simple,open the app and press root,reboot your phone and you will be rooted!
To install custom recovery(recommended to install PhilZ instead of TWRP because of some random reason most ROMs you try to install on TWRP will show symlink errors) you have two ways:
First way(the easy way):
1. Download one of the two recoveries from the links below:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/719ms15k9mohyoz/TWRP_3.0.2-0_Recovery.img - this is TWRP 3.0.2-0,only MTP doesn't work(to locate your files you will need to go from /sdcard directory to /data/media directory)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/cuwn1g4zgl0y47c/TWRP_2.8.2.0_Recovery.img - use this older version of TWRP if the above version is giving you problems
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8h864710ov1r74x/PhilZ_Recovery.img - this is PhilZ recovery,this is the recommended recovery to use,the only thing you will need to do is go to Advanced Functions and change the sdcard location to /data/media from /data/media/0 (you just press the power button once you highlight that option) because it will not then show up your downloaded zip files
2. Download Flashify from the Play Store
3. Once in Flashify choose to install from other recovery image and choose the image you have downloaded
4. You should have recovery now!
To boot into recovery hold down volume up and power in the same time
If the first way didn't work here is an alternative way(and you do not need to be rooted to install the recovery by the way):
1. Download SP Flash Tool to your computer(firstly make sure you have the MTK drivers installed,and if you are running Windows 8 or above it is recommended to turn off Driver Signature Enforcement)
2. Download the stock firmware from the third post and extract it
3. Open SP Flash Tool and choose the scatter file from the stock firmware you have extracted
4. Press on the empty box where it would usually show where is the recovery located and find the downloaded img
5. Once that is done turn off your phone,press Download and just plug in your phone to the computer
6. Once it shows Download Ok try to boot into recovery and it should work!
Custom Logos(works also on any device with screen resolution od 540x960)(Screenshots attached):
https://www.mediafire.com/?ga088kbuttwuqxs - MIUI Boot Logo
https://www.mediafire.com/?0oqpm68va8idl3u - CyanogenMod Boot Logo
https://www.mediafire.com/?m97zqn9edm2esb2 - Marshmello Boot Logo

Thanks to:
Ajit Guraya - he is the guy who made most of the ROMs so we can port them to our device!
Harry_ET - he also made some ROMs for the CherryMobile H870 which I managed to port!
Yuweng - he made the Easy PhilZ and TWRP 2.8.2.0 installers!
Also hit that Thanks button if this was useful in anyway!
Custom ROMs
This is the post which contains most of the ROMs I have ported to this device.
This contains most of the ROMs I have ported!
Some of them are not included because they are just too unstable,like Bluetooth,Camera and force closes on the same ROM cannot be ran properly!

TWRP 3.0.2 I have ported from the CherryMobile H870,TWRP 2.8.2.0 was made by TWRP Easy Installer and PhilZ as well,no much hassle there.
I am going to maintain TWRP on my own,if a new version releases I will try to port it as fast as possible.but school will be an issue as well so there won't be a lot of frequent updates when the summer ends very soon.
If you mean maintaining custom ROMs then I will be maintaining some of them,for example the CandySiX ROM is maintained by Ajit Guraya on mtkroms.com and I have just ported that using the guide below,nothing special.
Restoring from soft-brick
So if anyone encountered a soft brick it is easy to solve it,just follow these steps:
1. Download the stock firmware files from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ao29ker79575qze/NOA-H43-Stock-Firmware-Files.rar
2. Download SP Flash Tool if you don't have it already and make sure you have the drivers installed
3. Extract the firmware files
4. Open SP Flash Tool and choose the scatter file from the extracted folder.
5. Now for every single box choose the corresponding file(for example choose uboot.bin for uboot),and for recovery choose one of the custom recoveries(I will explain later why)
6. Make sure your phone is powered off,now press Download and just plug in your phone,and it will start flashing
7. Now when the flash is done unplug your phone and boot it up!
If your phone keeps on repeating the boot animation take out the battery and boot to recovery by holding volume up and power(that is why we flashed one of the custom recoveries because the stock one is in Chinese and hard to understand) and just navigate to Wipe Data & Factory Reset and reboot your phone.
ALSO: If you do restore to stock and you try to factory reset and it says "Cannot mount data partition" just restart the phone,Android will create it itself while booting for the first time
Can I get some feedback? Is anyone having problems with something? Come on m8 I know this phone probably only resides in Balkan countries and almost no one on XDA has it but at least someone who tried the recovery for example
BLE

Pozdrav Dinkec! Imam ja taj noa h43, i proba sam nekoliko ovih romova. Pitanje, Da li ovaj telefon može hardverski ponesti BLE (bluetooth low energy)?

EDIT: Ispričavam se,podržava hardverski,moja greška

Koji ROM koristiš?
Trebam pomoč! Nekako sam pokvario data partition, Ne mogu ga više ni formatirati, ni mountati. Znaš možda kako bi rješio problem? Ne ide ni sa oni soft unbrick varijantom...

Trebao sam to stavit u OP al sam zaboravio,ako ne mozes formatirat data particiju nakon instaliranja stocka onda ne trebas radit factory reset jer zapravo ni ne postoji,pa Android dok se pali napravi tu particiju,morao sam to tako napravit inace bi ovaj mobitel bio stalno u bootloopu,a jel mozes uci u OS nakon instalacije stocka?
Ne, mogu samo da idem u PhilZ bootloader, ali ne mogu formatirati e:/data particije, tako da kad mi završi za install novi zip, onda nakon reboota ide u bootloop. Isto je u bootloopu, nakom vipe-a

A jel se pali sa stock ROMom jer vidim da probavas instalirat neki ROM
evo mene, neakako sam došao u factory mode (vol- + power) i tam samo odabrao clear eMMc. Nakon toga sam došao u sistem, ali sada imam problem sa IMEI number (invalid IMEI). Imam neki backup kojeg sam uradio za philzcwm. Kako da dobim nazad IMEI nr. ?

Ovako,znaci izvadi bateriju iz mobitela i zapisi IMEI 1 i 2 na papir,onda skini MTK Droid Tools(usput mob mora bit rootan),otvori MTK Droid Tools i onda klikni ROOT i trebalo bi ti izbacit da trebas dozvolit MTK Droid Toolsu root,i dopusti. Nakon tog u Droid Toolsu klikni na IMEI/NVRAM i sad zapisi oba IMEI broja i klikni restore.
Ako to ne radi,prije ovog odi u SP Flash Tool i odi na Format i klikni start,pa nakon tog flashaj stock ROM i onda se vrati na ovo sa Droid Toolsom
Evo, uspjeo sam da ga vratim na original stanje. Prvo sam sa sp flash tool stavio novi nvram.img nakle toga IMEI je počeo raditi. Jedino što nisam sada imao slovenački jezik, je oni tvoj stock firmware nema slovenačkog. Nakon toga sam napravio restore system.img, kojeg sam na sreču imao, jer sam ga napravio prije svega dok sam počeo u philz cWM ju. Sad radi kako je radilo prije svega.. Hvala ti za info. Još uvijek me zanima ali se može nekako uraditi, da bi ovaj telefon prepoznao BLE bluetooth....
