Today I've managed to root my p1m and install TWRP, after trying a lot of guides and tips!
I'll tell you what I did. I guess it should work fine to you too!
The key thing to do is to install vcom usb drivers. Without these drivers, flash tool won't work!
Follow the steps from this guide: h t t p : / / thetechnolyte.blogspot.gr/2014/04/installing-vcom-drivers-in-windows-81. h t m l
After you do this, donwload sp flash tool, download a recovery.img for p1m (just google it) and you're ready to go.
You have to download also supersu.zip (google it) and place it in your external sdcard (if you don't have external sd, use your internal space).
So, after you install the vcom driver following EXACTLY the steps from the link (especially the step to disable driver signature verification), open flash tool.
There, you have to load the scatter file txt that is included in the files (MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt) and the recovery.img you downloaded for p1m (don't use the one included, don't know if it's working, maybe yes, maybe not, I didn't have the chance to use it, I placed the recovery.img for p1m that I found in google search, I propose to do the same!)
Next thing is to check (if it isn't already checked) the recovery tickbox from the list down below and you should also check if the drop down menu says "download all". Then you hit green download button and connect your phone to pc.
After you connect your phone to pc, hold power button and choose reboot from the popup menu.
During reboot process the flash tool will start sending recovery to your phone and a red progress bar will start moving in flash tool window. When it's done, a big green tick image will appear on screen and the custom recovery is been placed succesfully!
Next thing you have to do, is to enter recovery menu holding power button+vol up (maybe vol down, I don't remember, try both cases) and a 3 choice message will appear. Choose recovery and hit vol up for OK. Then you have to navigate to "install from sdcard" and choose the superuser.zip for installation.
After you install it, chooce normal reboot and you're all done!!!
Hope I helped. Give me some feedback when you try it and if you have any questions about the process, let me know.

Anyone.....

I'd like to see a cyanogenmod rom release, but I don't know if it'll be one soon :/

Probably you haven't loaded the recovery.img for p1m. You have to double click in the recovery line (the one already ticked) and a popup for file selection will be shown. Select the img file and proceed.

There are already 3 custom rom choices.
1. Modified lenovo stock ROM
It's basically the same stock vibeui ROM but with the bloatware removed. Also some tweaks for system speed and some extra features in settings. Everything works as it should.
2. AOSP 5.1 custom ROM
Nearly stock lollipop android 5.1. Way better experience than stock lenovo rom, better task manager (works better), no bloatware, pre-rooted. Every hardware part works except notification led.
3. Flyme OS 4.5.3.1 custom ROM
My personal favorite so far. It's basically the ROM Meizu uses in her phones. Way better and different android experience. Different settings menu, notification panel and task manager. Similar to iOS.
Very stable ROM. Some integrated meizu features don't work it's not something to worry about. The only bad thing is that fm radio doesn't work (it's not even exist as an app, and no 3rd party fm radio app works as well), notification led doesn't work (minor issue for me), front camera only works with 3rd party app (like google camera).
I currently am in flyme os and I feel really cool using it. You can find these roms if you google them. From techolaty.
For more convinience, you can backup the whole system through recovery backup function, so you can later restore any rom you like (with your settings and apps, etc).

XDA isn't a request site. If developers choose to work on a device they will. But usually they need to own the device and these obscure less popular devices can be hard to find anything for.
Best to learn how to port roms yourself if you want them.

Prestigio 5044

Just bought PAP 5044. Fantastic phone. Anyone have any ideas for rooting this phone, installing cwm???
Use Framaroot 1.6 (Boromir exploit) for rooting. It's pretty much "one click" stuff and works like a charm. Now, as for cwm, I still haven't found the solution. I just managed to boot to the stock recovery but none of the commands are working so no use there.

Yeah framaroot works awesome. Stock recovery works too. Commands are little funny. Entering everything ith volume up, volume down is for down
Finally got CWM working. The procedure of installing is fairly simple but I had to browse through few czech and russian forums to get the recovery.img.
This procedure doesn't need PC at all. Everything is done on your phone. Just follow these few simple steps.
1. First of all, you should be rooted. If not, use Framaroot to do that (fairly simple to do and pretty much "one click" stuff)
2. Next, install MobileUncle MTK Tools (available here )
3. Now, download the attached recovery.img and transfer it to the root of your SD card.
4. Open MobileUncle and grant root permission if asked.
5. Once it is open, choose "recovery update" on the main screen.
6. You should be able to see your recovery.img first on the list. Below are some other recovery images found online but DO NOT chose those.
7. When tapped your recovery.img it will ask "use recovery file: recovery.img (5620Kb)?" - tap Yes.
8. Within seconds, it is flashed and it will ask if you want to reboot to recovery... choose Yes.
9. That's it. You have fully functional CWM
Now, if you want to backup your device in CWM please note that the backup folder may grow pretty large if you are using SD Ext (which is pretty much a must with this device) so make sure that you have enough space on your SD card before you perform backup.
P.S. browsing through the czech and russian forums, I've found couple of pretty functional ROMs (there are few MIUI ports and one Xperia C port). I'm going to test those in the next couple of days and if it works, I'll share it here.
Cheers.

Okay so i found this xperia ported miui rom for Prestigio 5044 and it works great . I would send a link but it's my first post here and I can't post outside links, just search google for "COLLECTION OF MIUI PORTED ROMS FOR VARIOUS DEVICES" and the first one should be it.
Then scroll down until you see prestigio 5044 and download.
I would like to know if anyone has got some other roms for this device.

Too bad we can't flash their roms.. Prestigio done something to the bootloader so we can't boot their kernel properly. Probably by flashing Lava's uboot, we could do it. Effort oz for otg support that prestigio disabled

hi to all,
i just fuond this thread and i hope that someone can help me.. Pleasee!
My first post and it's already a mess.
I explain my situation shortly:
I download framaroot and installed the boromir expansion, by the way everything until i made a mess. I deliberately deleted the browser that is a core application. The result is that the phone is blocked. I didn't done anything else. Now my pc won't recognize the phone, or to be more specific is still recognized but only in recovery mode, and activating "install from adb". The pc recognizes it like an htc dream.. Thanks to adb, i've tried to install the firmware version, in hoping to come back to the stock version and undo, but the installlation is completed but the phone still not workin.
When i turn on the device it starts with boot animation logos and then SOME it's not working and the phone is blocked.
Can someone save me?
thanks to all for reading me, and losing your time. I made a mess.

I tried different version without flashing them, only by installing the zip, and i would like to install the last prestigio version, or a clean version with just root..
Is it possibile?
By the way everything seems to work with these custom roms, but not the phone itself, i have the broadband and imei, but it doesn't recognize the sim cards, to be more specific the IMSI number.

All the stock versions from the site are down. You need to get some othernrom. I prefer either miui or coloros. As for the other thing, if it doesnt work after flash its hardware related

Yep indeed, infact i put again imei and now it's working, but the only thing i don't know which value to set in at for second sim. It's always hard! To me is a factory problem.
I've installed the bean version instead. It's working, i love it but i don't know exactly how to install\update xposed framework and gravity box tools. When u install, it magically appears on ur sd card a folder called "xposed disabled". It's still not working.
I would like to change columns in UI system.

I still have it... No confirmation for the kitkat and huawei didnt update the emotion ui... So i put toghether emui 2 and the new weather app and widget and all working pretty good for now... Huawei sucks on updates for the overseas phones or models... Common a 1 year old quad core 2 gb ram with no kitkat? :banghead:

Yep, sadly it looks like as there won't be any (official) Kitkat update at all for the G700. So as long as there won't be a dev with some time to port one we'll stuck with Jellybean - from the hardware side it would be perfectly capable of Lollipop as well
-- EDIT --
Do you have any more details about the mods you did?
I just root my phone and replace the launcher widget and weather apk from emui 2.0 with root explorer give proper permissions and ok... Just search for emui 2.0 apk on p6 forum...

Nothing really new - besides that there now exists an official CM11 version for a different phone with the same Mediatek chipset Let's see how that goes. Huawei seems to be the one to blame now as Mediatek rolls out the source needed to build 4.4.
But did you manage to install CWM already? If not: I saw a few similar guides with a relatively complicated method (flash stock again with a bigger recovery partition, factory reset, flash CWM, root again) and the installation failed for me many times (bootloop) although I already had that version of the stock ROM installed. Most probably this was a result of not doing the factory reset - I just didn't want to.
Luckily I stumbled across this thread which I did put on hold first as there hasn't been too much information - same for the page where that thread links to.
But in the end I didn't care and kicked my doubts - and it worked perfectly: CWM installed without any loss of data.
Just to make sure the links remain available I'll quote it again:

Lenovo P780 Phone signal problems (wifi/3G ok). Help suggestions?

Hi All,
The title says it all.
Tests I've done until now:
- the SIM card has been tested in 2 other phones and it's working fine. Hence, it's also not a network provider issue.
- I tried reboot, soft reset of course
- Someone suggested to remove the back cover because it seems to hinder the signal reception. Still not working for me.
What else can I do?

Hi. By my opinion look what you have to do:
1. I see your phone is rooted.
2. Install a custom recovery like TWRP
3. Go to my post called How about some modems, there you will find modem software for your phone
4. Download on your phone that software, JellyBean software and flash one by one till you find the software what is good for you.
5. Be warned: do a full backup of your phone first.
6. Good luck.

Hi stympy,
I never succeeded to install TWRP and have it work. Would you have a link to a fool proof tutorial on how to TWRP? I'll then try to sort out the modem issue.
Hi stympy,
On the TWRP website, my device is not listed. Which device should I select to have the correct version of TWRP to use?
I remember now why I couldn't get it to work. I have two phones and none of them are listed as supported devices by TWRP.

Hi. Every custom recovery like TWRP need to be built with express setings for every system/phone.
You will not find our phone listed on TWRP oficial site.
You could install TWRP on your system in 2 ways With Mobileuncle Tool or with SP Flash Tool.
If you dont know how ill write a schort tutorial for you. Jut tell me.

3. Unzip recovery.bin and copy in the root of your internal memory.
4. after copy open Mobileuncle Tool and give root privileges.
5. Go to Recovery Update tab
6. first recovery that appears there is the one. Select and install... blah blah blah... ok, i accept etc etc
7. Reboot to recovery.
8. That is it... i hope..

Thank you very much stympy. I'll have a try and let you know.

Ulefone Power costume rom??????????????

Hi well today I here that the Ulefone Power will be out in some places and its a very good battery life 4 dayds with out charging it so I want to know is their any plans for costume rom this baby as this phone is very affordable and was wondering if any one is planing this me be 64bit rom?????????????????????
Dude! I second this motion! The phone's a beast but boy does the stockrom suck.
Cant wait for some talented guys to do a custom rom for this phone. Im very happy with the hardware, only the rom is a little bit wanky.
I have had this phone for three weeks now.
It's a truly fantastic device! Hardware is good, makes great pictures and the massive battery can last me for 12 hours without changing it. Let me clarify that my Note 4 was able to stay alive without my spare 3000mAh Samsung battery for no more than 4-6 hours.
The only complaint i have with the Power is that YouTube, as well as RadioYouTube are lagging here and there. I tried few tweaks form the Developer options to reduce the lag, but not much improve was noticed.
So, a good custom ROM to eliminate the issues and make it even better would make this device a real leader in reliability and satisfacton.
i dont know but i have a feeling one 6.0 is released some custom roms should come out, no point making them yet with it coming out in the next week or two (or three with the current delays), cant wait though, getting mine today hopefully!
I would like to notice that front camera on stock android 5.1 really sucks! It's just terrible, when I flashed android 6 it's way better but still it's sharphing photos to much... In video recording there is no problem so I am 100% sure that's software problem. Hope it will get solved with some custom android 6 rom . This is just an info for future developers.
custom rom
I found custom rom on needrom. It's ported from leagoo shark. I'am using it and better than stock rom. If anyone build a custom rom, i will try.

No CM version.
I heard that Ulefone Compagny has given some devices (Ulefone Power) to ROM Developpers.
So We could maybe get some custom roms or port from another devices in a early future
Rooting uleFone Power
Hi all. As posted earlier, there are instructions on the Ulefone blog on how to root the device.
http://blog.ulefone.com/how-to-root-ulefone-power/
Here's a quick rundown. I'm also uploading all the tools I downloaded and used to my Google Drive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzqEmGyNP_v6cWdZVU5rRnpmbDQ
If you rather get the things directly from the Ulefone Blog then do so.
DRIVERS
Based on checks, it's probably best to install the driver directly. One of the instructions given is to turn off the phone and connect it to the PC. When I did this nothing happened, and I only started to get some results when I turned on the phone while connected. At this point it flashed very quickly that there was an MTK device but drivers weren't installed. After installing the drivers on the system and doing this again, it managed to install the drivers properly. I also noticed that booting the device with VOL+/POWER gave me the option of installing the drivers also. As stated on the site - you may need to disable driver signing for Windows 8/10.
TWRP
This part is pretty straightforward. Unzip all of the files. Run the SP FLASH TOOL. Enable USB CHECKSUM in the options for SP FLASH TOOL. Locate the scatter file for TWRP and hit the download button while the phone is off. If nothing happens for you, simply turn the phone on while it's connected and the download button is already pressed. It will prevent the phone from booting and flash TWRP directly. You may go into TWRP by holding VOL+/POWER until you get the menu for normal/fastboot/recovery and select recovery. Please bear in mind that at this menu, the VOL+ cycles the options and the VOL- selects/confirms the option.
ROOT
Once you've completed the TWRP installation, start TWRP and allow modification of the system partition. Select the options to reboot into the system and then swipe to install SuperSU and root the device. That's it - you're done!
Screenshots and photos will follow.
Hey there!

I just revived a Cubot Note S and am pretty happy with the performance.
I've searched around for a while and am unable to root the device, I've seen one other post on XDA regarding a successful Root on 5.1 but am unable to find any information on how this is achieved.
I've tried Kingo, King and Root Genius with USB Debugging an OEM Unlock enabled.
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great,
Thank you
Sorry, don't have any kind of solution but I just wanted to say I'm in the exact same boat as you. Been trying to root my Cubot for days.
Good News!
Aftee alot of digging and flashing several recoveries I have successfully rooted the Cubot Note S.
Ill put a simple guide here to help:
Its your responsibility what happens to your phone, Mine works flawlessly, but be careful out there!
Requirements:
Cubot note S on 5.1 Lollipop
Smart Phone Flash Tool & MTK Scatter file (for the cubot) & Super SU.zip
buzztechnica.com/2016/03/how-to-root-and-install-twrp-recovery.html?m=
In the first paragraph is a download link. Download the rar and extract it. All you need is the Smart Phone Flash tool and the MT scatter.txt. THE RECOVERY IN THIS DOES NOT WORK!
Modified TWRP recovery (there is omly one that works!
android-hilfe.de/thema/root-und-twrp-fuer-cubot-note-s.753414/page-2 << Post number 37 has the Mega link to the working recovery.img file
MTK VCOM drivers
spflashtool.com
Look for link that says "Download MediaTek VCOM Drivers" get the self installer package.
About recoveries,
Make sure you use the Modified one and not any other. The bundled one in the FlashTool and the other 3 floating in the internet do not work as they do not register touches. These are useless.
Okay, so now you have the files i would create a new folder with everything you need. So thats the Flash tool, scatter file and the modified TWRP recovery and phone drivers.
Before you start. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone somewhere. Also enable USB Debugging in the developer options. Finally TURN OFF YOUR PHONE. i.e hold power, power off. Dont plug your phone into the computer yet
On your computer install the VCOM drivers first. Now to get the drivers installed I had to modify the batch file to work on Win10. If your on Win10. Right click the install batch file and edit. Remove all the lines regarding the OS check and save and run the installer. A command window will notify of the install success
open the Flash tool. Now, the second box asks you to select a scatter file. Select the one you have.
Ensure the dropdown box is selected to Dowload Only.
Ensure that ONLY recovery is ticked, you dont wanna flash anything else accidently!
To summarise... now, you should have super su.zip on your phone. Smart phone flash tool setup with the scatter file and custom recovery loaded. Your ready to flash!
Before plugging your phone in click Download. Now plug your phone in. And you will see it will flash. Should take a few seconds youll see a bar going along the screen. A box will pop up saying download OK!
Now, apparantly your phone is meant to boot without any assistance. Mine did not. So in this case. Unplug from PC. Remove phone battery. Put back in and tey to enter recovery (Pwr + Vol Up) <<< tip, dont hold them in too long as my phone just kept resetting. Hold about half a second while the screen is on then let go
You should now be in twrp recovery. Swipe the notification and proceed to flash the super su zip. Once complete, remove your battery and DONT press restart. It wont work and your phone will freeze.
Put your battery back in and boot normally, you now have custom recovery and Root!!
Enjoy!
Sorry about the links. Im new here. Modify the links and paste in browser
.... or you simply navigate to needrom.com and seek for "Cubot Note S". Then you'll find a working TWRP-recovery for Android 5.1 and even 6.0, a beta ROM for Marshmallow (6.0) and the not yet published ROM from 11-07/2016 for Lollipop (5.1). To flash with SP-Flash-Tool from your Computer.
Cheers!

I tried these, but as stated, all those Recorives did not work due to not recognising the touches. plus, the 5.1 stock ROM is stable, where as the 6.0 is still beta. I'd rather stick with a stable ROM.
6.0 ROM and the 6.0 TWRP may work, but its untested for me. hence why I've targeted 5.1 in my tut
Thanks for the detailed walk through Sparky. I may give it a go but I'm very new to all this so I don't want to get myself into something where I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Either way, thanks for the help

No problem, Its actually quite straight forward once you've found the working files. At least now there is a tutorial on the internet for this phone which is complete and tested
