Guest ZakalweC Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have this / could upload it please? The UK version isn't in the thread here: http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/375788-vodafone-smart-ultra-6-stock-roms-otas-and-recoveries/ I tried a couple like the Ireland/Spain ones but they didn't work. Basically I rooted my phone fine and flashed TWRP for 5.0.1(5.0.2*), not realizing that the phone was still on android 4.1.1(4.4.2*), so now I have no recovery at all, and in settings > about > software updates there's no OTA, so I can't upgrade and then flash TWRP again to get it working. Any advice on what I can do other than wait until the OTA update is available? I've got the .up file for it but I don't think you can apply them without a working recovery? Cant find out how to do it anyway. thanks in advance. Edited December 30, 2015 by ZakalweC
Guest BlueMoonRising Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 I'm guessing you mean 5.1.1? If so I don't think there is one directly, the UK update was only partial so you'd have to flash 5.0.2 and then update to 5.1.1 They are listed elsewhere on here.

Yes but I can't flash anything because my recovery is broke, I need the stock recovery image for android 4.1.1 to flash with flashify. Thanks

Guest LiNe171 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Try to flash 5.0.2 TWRP and flash the stock recovery zip on TWRP, dont need to be the UK one.. Then install the 5.0.2 stock ROM or go to zte support and download the 5.1.1 ROM and install it

And you should have looked first, http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/375554-recovery-twrp-2870/?page=5 it's the very first pinned thread. page 5 will help I think.
Guest femilovechild Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 The phone came with android 5, so how did you end up with android 4.1.1 on yours? Anyway, go to modaco. There is a thread there just for OTAs, roms, and recovery files. Best wishes.

This recovery.img may work, but it sounds like the guy he's responding to is not on 4.2.2 and any recovery images for 502 or 511 don't work ...just tried it and no dice. white screen appears as if it's going to load but then reboots.

I have no idea, I literally took it out of the box yesterday and haven't done anything but root it, I thought it was supposed to be on 5 myself which is why I started by flashing the TWRP recovery for that. should have checked the version I guess. but basically sounds like I'm badword with regard to this phone now since I doubt anyone has a stock UK 4.1.1 recovery image.. worth a shot anyway.
Guest femilovechild Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 First question. What's your android version and build number Also, are you currently rooted?

Guest femilovechild Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 I've read the thread better now. Like @LiNe171 said, flash the twrp 5.0.2 recovery, then the stock recovery, and you should be fine. Use flashify. I am guessing you still have root. If not, you need to root first and then follow the procedure to install the required recovery.
Guest Frostyjim Posted December 30, 2015 Report Posted December 30, 2015 Are you 100% sure its a smart ultra 6 you have?

Edit: both the Vodafone Smart 4 max & Vodafone Smart first 6 are both advertised as being on 4.4 http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/vodafone-smart-4-max-payg/sku85852-black http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/pay-as-you-go/vodafone-smart-first-6-payg/sku86188-black I think a 'whoops' is in order.

Guest BlueMoonRising Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 I wonder why he never came back, is he a little perhaps?
