I'm interested in this phone. It's too bad there are absolutely no reviews of it on youtube or anywhere else. The camera software you see for only a second in one of the product showcase videos looks pretty awesome (it looks like the Lumia camera software) but I'd like to know how the pictures actually turn out.

Both me and my gf have bought one today (she made an AliExpress account just for this), love it already. Think this will be better than the Xiaomi RedMi Note 2 that I was waiting for. The price is definitely better. The build looks nicer too, and it supports MicroSD.

The only review I could find of this device is here - http://www.chinasmartphonereview.com/zte-v5-pro-n939st-fingerprint-id/

They ran out of the discounted stock now. So that's 2000 units in less than 12 hours!

Me too. Bought one. Hope we can get a CWM and a few custom english roms. For the price = great spec!
I got the last unit! 235AUD. It said 0001 left and I got it - 1hour ago.

thanks!

rooting, TWRP, flashing your ZTE V5 Pro/N939ST/Mighty 3

So I hope you have managed to read the first 9 posts in this thread to be able to read this one!
If you haven't then you are hopeless and probably the best thing you can do is to post a "How can I root/TWRP this phone?" question in this thread and somebody might give you justice...

Please note that all the usual crap applies: you will void your warranty/I am not responsible for your stupidity/you can seriously f**k up your phone kind of crap!

I don't share any links to ET Star (the seller on Aliexpress) ROMs as I consider them crap with full of bloatware and such unsecure. You might have a different view but I am not interested so please do NOT reply to this post regarding this, although I am cool if you're happy with the ROM.

I would keep it myself if I could change to a custom ROM (preferably cyanogenmod). As probably this never gonna be a mainstream device with many developers owning one I am probably out of luck - I don't even have a custom ROM for my HTC E8...

I noticed however that it has Snapdragon on board.

Never say never, it already has Chinese TWRP recovery and CM build (alpha).

The three ZTE V5 Pros I managed to order yesterday have been now been shipped so lets see how long it takes them to get to UK.

If you say so ;) Link?

I got the email this morning from AE although I have not received a tracking number yet still I expecting it midweek.
I was thinking to buy some more but wasn't sure about the build quality. Pictures were fine but I wanted to see it in flesh.

Nice one, it was saying 0001 for a while. I was even considering ordering a 4th one lol
Probably they sold more than a 1,000 as they had no problem - the money was coming in and they probably just needed to walk across the street to the manufacturing plant to order some more for today :D

Bought one too.
After the payment was made, I've started to regret my decision. First, I've sent the seller a message regarding the delivery details. Got no real reply, just two spam ones , with a "one of a kind offer" for "a special customer like me".
I've decided to patiently wait for the seller to reply to my message, but, to my surprise, this morning I've got a notification from aliexpress leting me know that the parcel has been shiped. After about 24h still no answer from the seller.
I've tried the tracking number on DHL(I've paid extra 5$ for it) and on 17track, with no succes.
After some searches in the feedback of the seller, and some searches on google. I've found out about the awfull Eternal Team.
Although the seller that I've bought from the phone is ETStar, I do belive that is the same with Eternal Team.
Let's hope that we won't be in the same situation as these guys were.

L.E: the tracking number seems to work on 4px, at least it's showing the destination country.

Got mine from ETStar seller but just received a strange message asking for shipping information , i have ordered lots of products before from aliexpress :/

Dear friend
Sorry to tell you that DHL inform us that from recipient information they can't find your address.
please provide the correct country name, city name, zip code, so that they can transfer the parcel for you
That's why there is no tracking information .
Pls check via this link, and provide us the address again

Pls leave your address in such format(write in English)
Name:
Address:
City
State/Province:
Country:
Zip Code:
Phone:
Regards
Luna-etstar

Hmm..
I guess we all wait.
When I cancelled my first one (the discount where I was charged full price $232USD) I was refunded in full within 6 hours.

I have had no issues at all with aliexpress, they actually have really good customer protection.
I bought an arcade board (PANDORA 3 or something) and seller gave poor info (needed CGA, send VGA) and they refunded in full in a few hours.
Worst case for us is we get a refund hahaha :)

Awesome specs on this phone for the price!
Lets hope for a full english UI and nice hackabilty!

Edit: That link is great! Thanks! CM already!!

    Here is a new retake on the V5 Pro original ZTE ROM

    **you will void your warranty/I am not responsible for your stupidity/you can seriously f**k up your phone kind of crap!
    Please use the md5 hash - there is a reason it's included!

    Unofficial multilanguage rom for ZTE N939ST weiwu3 (V5 pro)

    any chance to roll back? is there any tool or firmware?

    Hi guys, if somebody lost the (partially) multilanguage rom with ota update, here is the rom from the phone.
    Gapps included, china partially removed. This is a fastboot rom. Unrar to folder, start phone in fastboot mode, start the flash.bat inside the folder, and connect the phone via usb cable to pc.
