[GUIDE] SMART FIRST 6 V695 (vodafone) -Unbrick,Restore,Custom Rom&More- MTK6572(M)

PLEASE NOTE _ THREAD BEING ACTIVELY EDITED 19-04-16@17.40BST _

SMART FIRST 6 V695 MTK6572(M)
(vodafone)
Unbrick - Restore - Custom Roms - Root & More

So, I bricked a vodafone smart first 6 trying to root it (latest update is unrootable at the moment - or a whole lot of messing about if it can be). So I managed to flash a rom and get it all working.

Vodafone do not release a rom for this model so its more or less impossible to unbrick or repair it without the below methods, this will basically turn the Vodafone Smart First 6 into a Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4. Way better in my opinion as it has full official alcatel support for original firmware, root, custom recovery and custom roms. Dual sim also still supported.

So, your phone is a Smart First 6?, Right?. Well it's basically the same as an Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4. So we flash the files for the pixi 3 4 and we can unbrick the phone, but then the phone will be a pixi 3 4. Hope that all makes sense!.

Vodafone Smart First 6 specs; GSMARENA
Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 4 specs; GSMARENA

Specs are identical so we can can flash Pixi 3 4 rom onto a vodafone smart first 6. pixi 3 4 stock is definately alot better than the vodafone stock rom, then being able to flash custom roms, improving the device even more.

XDA thread by Menroid - whole lot of messing in my opinion and did not work for me - good thread all the same -

XDA thread by kirito9 - Alcatel OneTouch Pixi Thread - very useful, move onto this once you've finished with my thread I guess - stock & custom roms and root for the Pixi 3 4 (your new phone! . . . or your phones new firmware! . . . :silly:!)
