This smartphone is idela for those who want cheap smartphone with medium specifications like a snapdragin processor 401, smooth.

Also is ideal for people who dont want a enormous screen like 5.1 inches or more.

In my opinion 4.7 inches is perfect

Miui is a good rom if your samrtphone has enough ram memory, but in this case with only 1GB is not very suitable, the rom runs well but when you install several apps it begins to go slower. So to solve that i installed kumajaya lollipop rom

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasquatch606:
I was on here last week and I received a lot of help getting out of the cm animation boot loop I was stuck in while trying to install cm12 or cm13. Someone told me to try cm11 and then "dirty upgrade to cm12 or cm13 after a clean install to cm11.

I installed cm11 without a hitch although the mobile data didn't work. I called my carrier and they confirmed that the phone was registered on their network so I backed up and restored to my stock OS and my mobile data works again. So the culprit was apparently my copy of cm11. Just wondering if anyone had anything similar happen and how did you fix it? Thanks in advance.

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 XDA​

DISCLAIMER:

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 !

[Miscellaneous Android Development] QuantumRevenger:
does not work

It says root failed on my VF695 and therefore cannot install TWRP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] QuantumRevenger:
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.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
At Your Own Risk!

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!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RHodgett:
Do you know if this will also work on the UK model?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
At Your Own Risk!

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!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RHodgett:
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)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
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. :cool:

Enjoy

&

Goodluck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nomnuds:
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!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] koalauk:
DID not work for me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RHodgett:
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)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
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!

How to load and unzip

I loaded into the Phone memory, but not it says cant ready such a file. SO how does one unzip the root file whilst in the Android phone? OR is is that we unzip whilst on the PC and then transfer all of it into the ANdoird phone?

Can you explain how you achieved this? WIll halp tremendously.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
Hello Onlydongles,

for root you can use kingroot 4.8 or the given Root apk from above.

Just install like any app for Android and follow the instruction.

Enjoy

&

Goodluck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onlydongles:
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 .

Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Further info. I have downloaded from your links onto the PC and transferred into the SD card & phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
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!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] onlydongles:
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.

Regds
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
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).

Enjoy

&

Good luck!

How's CM12.1 running for you? Everything working OK?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nomnuds:
Yeah everything works fine, Wifi, data-connection, calls etc. There's a new ROM update today though, haven't tried that version yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephendt0:
Thanks for getting back to me. KitKat has been running fine, just installed the OTA, actually surprisingly good for a device with 512mb of RAM. I would be pretty happy with a debloated stock ROM (which is what I'll probably do), although a stable CM12.1 ROM would be even better. Do calls work OK? I hear that the front speaker doesn't work, along with the camera.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
I'm on an different custom ROM, welcome to the MTK family! B)

Indeed they are busy fixing the bugs,

So there will be an bugless version soon.

Well well Vodafone did fine pick this handset(or just hastily rebranded the Pixi 3).

But they did an swell job it's a nice burner phone :) .

Btw. for indept ROM questions you're better of in Kirito9's thread, as ya'll know he mastered the Pixi like no other!

Good Luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
I've run the chinese root app; root checker says it was successful.

Also, installed SuperSU, but it is stuck in 'disabled'.

What next? Safe to remove chinese app?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
Hello Landof,

Nice work! Try to enable SuperSU after deleting the other Root app.

Enjoy

&

Good luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
Root app uninstalled. Still no option to enable SuperSU, even after reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
Hmm? Did you got the custom recovery working?

Because you need to flash the SuperSu.zip also.

If this doesn't work try Kingroot 4.8 this will stick and is English now, then reinstall the SuperSu.zip and SuperSu.apk.

Enjoy

&

Good luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
I have not begun custom recovery yet.

Is it normal for SuperSU to be stuck in 'disabled' at this point?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
No because this means it doesn't detect full root, try rooting with Kingroot 4.8.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
No joy with Kingroot 4.8; app keeps stopping. Tried 4.5 earlier but root failed after multiple attempts.

eta: What's up with attachment UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
I had forgotten to use Google Playstore to enable SuperSU. What I have now is SuperSU installed and enabled, and chinese root app removed.

However, one root checker says I 'have root access but need to install SuperSU' (like I say, it's already installed), and another says 'root access not properly installed'. And SuperSU cannot be updated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
Ah so the new Kingroot is no guarantee?

But when it stops and restarts your phone you need to manually start the app again.

SuperSu.zip contains all the binaries that are needed to let the apk function properly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
Not sure quite what this means. I have been rebooting at every step, and still have no success with root.

In what directory would you recommend making a copy of those binaries? Does it even matter for the root?

When I first installed chinese root app (root 360), I had the option to press large shield button at top of screen, as you mentioned. This ran the root process, but it failed.

Now, after uninstalling/re-installing that button is not there, but instead another with a number in the centre (this number increases incrementally from 0 and ends up at 70), but it's useless.

Any suggestions you have for this root would be appreicated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
The only way to Root!

So no luck for you here :( ,

and yes you need the binaries for SuperSu otherwise it will bug you for updates!

There are other one-click root apps but what i have tried for two days straight after buying this phone didn't work, only the given Root apk above and what people said in earlier post KingRoot 4.8.

*(What i mean with after restarting the phone done by the kingRoot app itself you start the app again and it will continue trying to root!).

These apps are the only way to successfully Root our phone, try wiping Cache & Dalvik and reinstall the Chinese apk and/or KingRoot 4.8.

Good Luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Renom:
VF695 Rooted successfully!!

Followed your guide, only issue was upgrading super su and removing chinese root. Got there in the end though worked perfectly!!

Thanks Muchly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Menroid:
Well well Renom,

No problem & you're welcome!

I know it can get an little tricky :) .

For ROM's read earlier post pointing towards the MTK thread.

Enjoy

&

Good Luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
Nice one, Renom. Could you elaborate on how you handled those two issues please? Also, how many times did you run chinese root before successful root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stephendt0:
Can you please update the OP? The button we're supposed to press during the root process isn't a shield. It's a white hexagon. Also, something keeps disabling SuperSU, and I don't know what it is because it's all in Chinese.

Either way, doesn't seem to work on my Vodafone Smart First V695, and now I'm unable to boot into a working recovery on the latest OTA.

EDIT: This guide definitely doesn't work, and I don't recommend 360 root. I did managed to get something working though - will share soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] landof:
Hi again, Menroid.

I have managed to root, and to install TWRP.

Now, in process of creating backups with TWRP, each partition works fine except for custpack. This partition seems to be unique to Alcatel phones, but essential nonetheless.

Were you successful in making a backup for the custpack partition?
