Sorry that [MENTION=542643]poetic[/MENTION] doesn't ship to India. :(

My other case I use is the Spigen Rugged armor, also a perfect mix of protection without being too bulky.

A few more which I don't have but I'd like to have are the DiZtronic full matte, the RhinoShield, or even the TUDIA Ultra Slim Full-Matte ARCH TPU Bumper.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rockyrocker:
Great to hear on ur preference for Spigen.. I just bought it and arriving tomorrow :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
I've this case for months and I was afraid of it yellowing as well but so far it hasn't yellowed at all. Probably because it's PC and not TPU which always yellows over time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] italbomber:
Had the affinity on my note 5 for almost a year. Handled drops very well. Color stayed clear. very stylish case. Can't go wrong.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] puchodog1977:
No pic?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DmdStar:
I have this Poetic case and can definitely recommend it. It's a good-looking design, has comfortable gripping areas, and shows off the Nexus nicely. I agree that the branding is a bit much, but not distracting in any way, and doesn't cover the Nexus branding on the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tech_head:
I have the case.

I like it a lot. I only wish it came in black or smoked.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Sheetzie03:
Just go on Amazon and search Poetic Affinity Nexus 6p There are plenty of pictures there, however, if it's an absolute must and you can't do that I'll upload some.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Unholy Rollerz:
Thanks for the review!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dubear:
My one gripe with this case is that it is very pliable where the buttons are because that section is completely rubber. What I mean is that if you run your fingers from your phone toward the edge where the buttons are, the case bends outwards really easily. Functionally, I don't think this has an effect. Just something I found minimally annoying.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Shaftamle:
I have had it for 2+ months or so. Deffinitly no yellowing. However much like mentioned above the right side is extremely pliable and on my case when putting pressure on the top right-hand corner it makes an obnoxious clicking sound. I don't know if anybody else has experienced it but if the case cost any more than the $10 that I spent on it I would have definitely returned it. I like everything else but the clicking Corner makes it pretty hard to enjoy.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] hawkswind1:
Just picked one of these up. Redesigned I guess. The "P" is above the fingerprint sensor and no "affinity" down the side. Anyways, I put a tiny, tiny piece of that poster putty stuff (like play-dough) inside the case in that area to stop the noise. Pretty ghetto but works.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Shaftamle:
Nice idea I might have to try that thanks

Am thinking of getting the black one for oneplus 3 but worried about yellow fade. So guys with black cover, how's the progress so far [MENTION=3708449]Sheetzie03[/MENTION] [MENTION=7543509]dubear[/MENTION] [MENTION=4939520]Shaftamle[/MENTION] [MENTION=4684539]hawkswind1[/MENTION]

And yeah I'd love to see this in pictures too.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
No fade on mine. Lots of scratches on the plastic though lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ashish.akc:
Some nice quality pics would make a better understanding and so you mean those aren't durable as well?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gqukyo:
Just check out the reviews on Amazon. The case isn't that expensive so it's worth a try. I went with the Nillkin case now cuz I wanted something thinner.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hawkswind1:
It's my favorite case but not perfect. So much thinner feeling than Diztronic and the spigen I had. No yellowing. Though I too have scratches, even inside the case which is weird. They are not noticeable though and don't bother me at all. There was also a noise when you press above the power button which I solved with a tiny piece of play dough inside the case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dubear:
agreed with other users. No yellow fade at all. Just scratches on the clear plastic part.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ashish.akc:
Are scratches any annoying or just some minor ones
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dubear:
I don't notice them at all day to day. I only notice them when people ask me to tell them about how my case has held up lol

Same issue here as well, nothing I try works on this phone, it's driving me insane.

EDIT: It's android 6, so you can't root the phone without a custom recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikeyev:
WELP. So I just spent the past 2 days wasting my time on this god awful phone. I can't even access fastboot on this piece of crap, it comes up for 2 seconds and then disappears and no amount of "properly" installing usb drivers for it has helped. I even tried disabling driver signing and installing the drivers through adding legacy hardware. Nothing worked at all. So I thought I'd just install a custom recovery with sp flash tool. So I downloaded a stock rom for the vfd300 (my phone) from here: https://androidmtk.com/download-vodafone-stock-rom-models and ported TWRP using an ASUS Zenfone GO's TWRP.img.

Custom Recovery works fine, the phone does not. It is now stuck in a bootloop. Tried formatting everything (from TWRP) doesn't work. Tried flashing the rom again (even with the stock recovery) still stuck at bootloop, tried about 3 other vfd300 stock roms that people have uploaded to http://forum.gsmhosting.com and none of them have worked either. Currently downloading yet ANOTHER one and tbh I don't have high hopes. (EDIT: It didn't work)

Any help at this point would be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikeyev:
Holy crispy crap it started............................. So I managed to find a working rom from (what appeared to be) some Vietnamese file hosting website :D.

You follow the instructions below at your own risk. No one is responsible for any damage done to your device but you.

I officially have root working on this device

.

Now that I've done it, it's a surprisingly simple procedure. As I stated in the edit in my reply above, the VFD300 has Android 6 on it, which requires (afaik) a systemless root to be installed from recovery.

I ported the custom recovery from this thread (since the Z00VD has the same chip as the VFD) which you can download here.

Download the latest version of Chainfires beta SuperSU installer from this thread and transfer it to either your phones internal storage or SD card.

Also download a copy of SP Flash tool (if your fastboot works, use that instead). Finally, you will need this scatter file.

Unplug your phone from the computer and shut it down. Open SP Flash tool and click the download tab at the top.

Click "choose" next to the Scatter-loading file box and select the path to the scatter file you downloaded. IMPORTANT Make sure all boxes below except recovery are unchecked and select Download Only in the drop-down box. Double click on recovery in the Location column and point it to the custom recovery image you downloaded.

Click the Download button at the top and then plug your phone back in. The bottom bar will turn red, then purple, then yellow and once it is fully done flashing you will get a pop-up box with a green tick as confirmation.

Unplug your phone and reboot into recovery (Power+Vol-Up). In the custom recovery, select install, go to the directory you transferred Chainfires beta SuperSU.zip to, install it and reboot. TWRP will ask you if you want it to install root, DO NOT LET IT INSTALL ROOT. Your phone may loop a few times and can take up to 10 minutes to boot the first time, but it will be successfully rooted.

If you need a copy of the stock rom, download this one. If you want to flash this rom, make sure you use the scatter file in the roms archive and select firmware upgrade from the Download Only box on SP Flash Tool.

EDIT: I'm so sorry I borked the hyperlink order. Instead of linking to the scatter file I linked to the entire rom and vice versa with the stock rom link

stuck on loading

hi i'm a bit stumped here i followed all the steps to root my vfd 300 i got custom recovery installed but now when i reboot it the phone just sits on the loading part about 30 minutes i been waiting is there any thing i have missed or can do to solve this

thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikeyev:
Sounds like a boot loop. You need to download the stock rom (it should be about 700mb or so and in rar format). Once you've downloaded the stock rom, extract the archive to a folder somewhere (you will need something like 7zip or Winrar). Open SP Flash tool, load the scatter file from the extracted folder and make sure you select every box. There should be a check mark in each box. Change SP Flash tools dropdown box to firmware upgrade (by default it is on Download Only) and then flash it similar to how you did with the recovery (make sure you change the recovery to the custom one from above).

If my instructions aren't clear enough, I can do it again to my phone and take pictures of the entire process to make it easier to follow.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InevitableDefeat276:
Yeah man! I've done that as well but had no luck :(.

1. I've enabled USB Debugging Mode and I've shut my phone down (NOTE: It has not been connected to the computer)

2. I opened the SP Flash tool and I clicked the download tab at the top

3. I then choose next to the scatter-file thing and have relocated it to the scatter file that I've downloaded from your link

4. ALL boxes are unchecked except recovery with download-only in the drop-down box

5. I've done the recovery image and everything and then...

6. I plug my phone in (Yes, it's completely shut down from step 1) with the USB cable and nothing shows up (Colored bars, tick etc.)

7. When I unplug it, an error comes up and then I'm completely stuck with no idea of what to do next

[UPDATE] - Does my phone have to be on the latest version?

I was stuck in bootloop, but we don't share the same reason. I think there is something wrong with the rom above.

I found another rom, flash it, and problem solved, pretty simple. Now, I have a rooted vfd 300, even better than the stock rom, but you need to delete some app you don't like before you enjoy it.

Solution!! (to stop bootloop) & (rooting the phone)

Hey I finally was able to unbrick this phone and installed root onto it and it's working like a charm. So I'm going to post this here to help anyone who is having any problems.

BUT FIRST! Go and download this!

OFFICIAL ROM (100% Works) - www(dot)needrom(dot)com/download/mt6580_s00_emmc_mra58k__6-0_vfd-300_vodafone/#comment-330924

TWRP - www(dot)mediafire(dot)com/file/qbxtn6zkwzzsb7t/TWRP%20VFD300.zip

Anyway let's get down to business. :laugh::good:

IF YOUR PHONE IS STUCK ON A BOOTLOOP

If the phone is stuck on that endless loop, there's a way to unbrick it by,

1) Take out the battery or turn off the phone completely.

2) Open SP flash tool and click on the Format tab and click format whole flash.

3) Connect your phone to the computer and click start.

4) Once done it will show a green tick, after that disconnect the phone from the computer and go to the download tab and load the scatter file from the official rom folder and everything will be loaded.

3) Click on the download button and connect the phone again so it will flash the original rom to the phone therefore, unbricking it.

4) Once it's completed, disconnect the phone and turn it on and it will load up. TA DA~ It's back to normal but the phone it's an another language, no worries just go to the settings and change the languages by scrolling down and find a globe icon which is for languages and select the first option to change to your language.

Now that your phone is back to normal it's time to root it properly~ :D

ROOTING THE PHONE

To root this phone, only download SUPERSU file "V2.78" which is suitable for this phone. Download it here: download.chainfire(dot)eu/1001/S%E2%80%A6perSU-v2.78-20

1) After downloading that, put it on your SD CARD or your internal storage on the phone. (DON'T EXTRACT IT) lol

2) After that turn off the phone and take out the battery or make sure it's off.

3) On your computer open SP flash tool and load the scatter file from the TWRP folder.

4) Click on the location tab on the recovery row and select the TWRP recovery image. And make sure recovery is the only one ticked.

5) Press the download button and connect the phone to the computer.

6) Once it's finished flashing, disconnect your phone and boot your phone to recovery mode by holding the power button and VOL+ button.

7) Once TWRP is loaded go to install, and go to the location where the SuperSu file that you downloaded earlier is. (MAKE SURE IT'S 2.78)

8) And swipe to the right to let it install, if the phone asked to install flash DON'T LET IT!

9) If it freezes, just reboot the phone by taking the battery out or turning off the phone. The phone may reboot a couple times or twice. Just leave it and let it do it's process.

10) Once the phone is loaded to the home screen, THE PHONE IS ROOTED! There will be SuperSu app installed to the phone.

I HOPE THIS HELPED ANYONE! And have a nice day!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Hello,i could be wrong but i think ive found an alternate way to root the Vodafone VFD-300. I tried many roms and numerous times and ways to root my device in the way that [MENTION=6567877]vikeyev[/MENTION] suggests,with no success. In the end i flashed the stock rom he suggested which is network locked. To unlock network,i simply flashed an alternate rom that was also mentioned on another thread in XDA which is ''How to network unlock Vodafone VFD-300''.

When loading the scatter file for the rom,i simply clicked on the location field of the recovery section of the loaded scatter file and then pointed it to the TWRP image that [MENTION=6567877]vikeyev[/MENTION] linked to. Once insterted,i simply flashed the rom. Once done,i disconnected from SP Flashool v5.1644 and booted my phone into TWRP where i flashed Magisk instead of SuperSU and then said do not install TWRP when powering up system. It booted and once on i installed the Magisk manager and then let it do its thing. After that,i downloaded root checker,ran it twice and got confirmation that my Vodafone had proper root.
