I bought an HTC HD2 Clone from China (T Mobile). He is under WM 6.5 and I want to change the ROM. The problem is that I do not know if it's possible for this phone. In the Device Information I can read this:
BSP Version: ROM Version-V01.00; ROM Date-Sep 10 2010;BOOT Version-2010.08.01;PCB Version- V01.
In Radio Module: Serial Number: HT9BWNW00617; Revisin Data-2010.08.01; Model ID: T8585; Manufacturer-HTC.
In Hardware: CPU Model-QUALCOMM82...; CPU Speed-1024MHz; RAM Size-576MB; Nand Size-1024MB; Data Bus-32Bit; LCD Color-65536; Resolution-480x800.
It has not SD card but 8Go of Internal Memory. I can not find any information about Radio Version and I do not know if I can flash it. Can you help me, please?
I am pretty sure it lies about RAM and CPU .
No, you can't flash normal ROMs on it. You're gonna have to figure out the way to flash it (probably their tools?) and cook your own ROMs.

There are no tools to check it????
Try it out...
Well I do not know if it will work or not, but might be worth a try. Is to try a SD version of an Android build here. Try downloading the files and put them on the phones memory and then open android. The instructions are pretty simple for the installation and opening. I am currently using a build of AmericanDroid. It is pretty nice. I do not think it will brick the phone, because it does not self boot unless you download an app to make it do so. You will have to use a file explorer. I recommend using total commander. It might be worth a shot

I think the biggest issue is that if you have problems with flashing, there is no way to restore the stock ROM. I would not expect a flash to work, but one never knows with clones.

I am not stupid (I think) but I'd like to now if I can try to put Android System on my chinise clone, that's all. On my phone I can not find any info about the Radio version and I do not now if it is "changeable". In tne Android section I can not find this info and I do not want to post the same question there.

No one has posted anything for a Chinese clone that I am aware of. You are going to have to do the initial work yourself, using the instructions on how to update the "normal" HD2 to Android, then going from there. As I said before, the big problem in my view is what to do if the Android load fails. With the genuine HTC phone, you can simply flash the original ROM. Do you have a ROM file you could flash, in case the update goes bad?
When I looked at those phones, it was always with the assumption that if I ever bought one, whatever came with the phone would be IT - no upgrades possible unless they came from the same manufacturer.
just do it...
you should not need to worry about radio too much (other than you won't get the best working connection/wifi/battery usage/etc. without the proper and corresponding radio, but you can just load the android folder onto your 8gbs and hit the clrcad/haret & see what happens. Why'd you go with the knock-off? The original is worth the pennies.

If the clone is using different hardware it simply won't work; the drivers are built for the stock HD2. Then how does he get back to stock? Doesn't he have to install Maglor or something like that to work dual boot Android? (Sorry if I have names wrong, I don't do Android on my HD2).
This happened to me when I bought an HD2 from someone in the Atlanta area. They sent me an HD2 clone, I did some research and found that it's really not an HD2 but a phone made to look like an HD2. After some work with paypal and ebay I was able to get my money back. My best advice to you is send the phone back and get a real HD2.
HD 2 clone.
There are generally 3 types of HD2 clone:
single SIM, resistive screen
dual SIM, resistive screen (exactly what I have myself)
dual SIM, capasitive screen (rear camera hole is at different place if compare with original).
If you describe what you keep, probably, I could help you.
I rarely use 3G, and slow core provides me long life battery, dual SIM is very useful. Besides, I DO NOT like capasitive screen as I often use office software, that's why this clone is ideal for me! I've purchased standard size extended battery on Ebay and it lasts 4-5 days of regular usage. Yes, there are some issues with it: camera should be abt 3 MPx, you can't watch high bit-rate movies etc. But all other options are good enough!
Good luck!
I don't trust chinese clones. If u have enough money buy original phone.
HD2 CLone
Hello,
I'm a quitley happy owner of the HD2 Clone (CECT8585).I'm using it since a month, and it works very well with WM 6.5. I have a lot of program like Tom Tom 7 and accessories. Is fast and stable.Using Dual Sim does not kill the battery.Any way, I'm traing to use Androind on it.
I tryed in 2 ways.First one with FastRam android, secon one with double booth. Both gave me the same error.Just froze after loading CLRCAD/HARED in Linux loading Bar-
I thought It could be a Radio problem.I have the last version of the system wity resistive display. Any help from you side?
Thank you.
You have to roll-back, no other way to my mind!

To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" folder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
6. Reboot can take about 5 minutes. Be patient.
Do it always while charging.
Highly recommend to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
On your own risk. You can brick your phone and you void your phones warranty.

You cant use google translate when clicking! Under the android guy pic, click where it says сюда, you then come to another site, just now click on a link on the page, that will take you to another page (the sponsor page), then you will se that it will start ticking the time in the top of the window, then after that you can click again and actually start the download....

Just wanted to say that this rom works awesome on my u8300.
It requires some tweaking. Change of lcd density etc. And the screen calibration isn't perfekt. But it's much faster than the stock rom so i'll stick with it.
Definetly worth a shot.
But according to a user on another forum there might be problems when you downgrade from a 8500 rom to the stock 8300. I haven't tested, so i can't really comment on that...

Hello all!
If anybody can help me with simple doubts, I'd appreciate!
1- Stock ROM: an Android stock ROM is model dependent? So if I have an Android phone and want to install the stock version I have to find a ROM compatible or even made for the phone model I have? In case of a non branded phone (those chinese), which model is likely unknown, can I flash to a stock ROM?
2- An application is refusing to download from Market, because it says incompatible device (which is surprising since I thought any app would install, since it's Android). The developers told me that probably I have a moded version of Android system and they don't support it (!). How usually applications does this checking?
As you can see, my question 2 is related to question 1. I'm wondering if I can flash my device to a stock version of Android and get this application downloaded from Market (without blocking because it's considered incompatible).
Anyway I'd like to get answer for two questions independently, if possible
Just an update: I have two phones. One downloads this app without problem and in Market I see Maker=- and Model=P800W. The other one (which says incompatible device) Market=- and Model=-. This might be the problem.
Thanks!
Yes. The stock rom (or any rom) has to be made specifically for your device. If you don't know the model of your device, then find out. If you can't, then do NOT try to flash any rom. Your device will be bricked (if its the wrong rom).
You thought wrong. It doesn't matter that the system is android. It's the hardware and software version which matters. Many applications (like the great 3D games and powerful apps) require an armV7 instruction set processor. So if your device doesn't have this, you really can't do anything about it (legally). Applications check if they are compatible before they are installed. If they "find out" that they are not compatible, they will not install. On the the software side, many applications no longer support the older versions of android which could also cause the incompatibility.
Thank you!
Probably the biggest problem is that, for some reason, Market has no information on Maker and Model.
I just checked the model. It's a T8585. Is there anyway I can update this info on my device (maybe some variable in the system) so it will be correctly listed on Market?
The previous phone had Model listed as P800W and I had no problem to install the application.

Is your device an HTC HD2? Did a search and it's the only device shown. If it is an HD2, then just flash a new rom. That should fix it. There are system properties which can be changed, but changing them may cause your device to bootloop and you'll be in more problems.
It's a chinese one. Not exactly the specs of HTC HD2 (slower processor for example).
But there is a T8585 stamp on the back. If it's not the same processor, why list it as T8585... maybe the mainboard is the same? So a ROM made for HTC HD2 might work?

Post some images of it.
Attached.
My thoughts:
- I think this device should support the app I'm trying to install (including Skype). But, since it's showing "-" as Maker and Model on Market, some applications are blocked or don't work (because they don't validate the phone).
- T8585 means HTC HD2, right? But... some specs are different: slower CPU (mine is 416Mhz), worse camera (mine is 2MP), probably lower RAM (mine is 256mb). This way I still don't know why (or how) it's considered T8585 - maybe because the form factor or mainboard? The basic question is... what makes a phone T8585 (as we can see, not the processor). I would go with the mainboard as an anwer.
- If I find a stock ROM for this phone, probably Maker and Model would have a valid info? I think it should have at least T8585 listed as Model!
Thanks...!

That is an HD2....KNOCKOFF. That is an HD2 clone obviously made in China. Do NOT try flashing an HD2 rom. Since the specs are so weak, your device may bootloop or even be bricked. It won't be able to handle actual HD2 roms because of the ram and processor (and key mapping may be inaccurate). It's considered as a T8585 cause that's what the makers named it. Just like if you went to China, you would see many Iphones which are not actually Iphones. Some of them even have an Apple logo (maybe slightly different but hard to tell without great examination). If you find a stock rom for it (highly unlikely) then yes, it should give you info. Now that's why the apps said they are incompatible. With such weak specs, (and I doubt that will have an armV7 processor) then they wouldn't work well. You could try this app to get more info on your device: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&feature=more_from_developer .
It seems to be armV5. MKT6516 processor.
I'll see what I find.
Thanks for all the help!
Hi, I just bought a brand-less China-made Android phone with the words "4G LTE" on its back. It is dual SIM and a portable TV.

Looking for the same thing, anyway somone could provide a link to techknow china roms? I tried google it brought up several entries. Can't get a bead on it.
h4300, is currently having problems with the screen getting out of sync (i think) starts to scramble and stuff like that.
The power button never worked out of the box, I had edited the key files to get functionality out of it, but I still cant turn it on. When its in the powered off state.
I am thinking this is just a rom issue. Since I am fairly new to the android scene, I cants say for sure.
Certainly, compiling my own rom is an option. Before I even attempt that I have to figure out how to get a recovery option going. I'm not even sure if its possible to get clockworkmod on this phone.
It's just so hard to find info on these mt65xx phones. If anyone has experience with mt65xx china phones, concerning backup, recovery, flashing. Please send me a PM.
What I need to figure out is how to backup the ROM on it, and flash new one. I guess I can live with finding / or compiling my own. However I would like to avoid building my own.
Thank you for you responses.
---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
I want to note, that I would like to just (re)flash the original rom, as opposed flashing a custom one.
I am thinking something got corrupt during their flash process. Talking to china customer support about it isn't yielding any results. They just keep asking me to send it back, and shipping it back costs more then the cost of the actual phone.
If I could just find the correct tools to flash, and back up. It would be a step in the right direction.
Again thank for your responses, helpful or not.

The phone is a Hero H4300 using Mediatek chip MT6573. If you look for "H4300 Thunderbolt" on Youtube, you can see that the manufacturer has a new 3D ROM for it. It will be great if we can flash our devices with this new ROM. Thanks for your great job and I am looking forward to a custom ROM for this little wonder, because the stock Bluetooth does NOT work well, and Skype for Android has a problem with it too, apparently.

No I never did create a scatter file for the h4300 with the MT657x3 Flash Tool. I do know it can be done. The process was a little over my head at the time. Being pretty new to the android platform I just wanted a simple solution to do backups and recovery (quick and easy) which is why I was trying so hard to find a CWM recovery for it.
I did manage to get the recovery working using the scatter file that came with the original rom, I just clicked on the recovery file, and browsed to the (CWM Like)recovery and flashed. I got and error when done flashing it (but it works, tested nandroid backup and restore, but thats all I tested) Im not sure if this was the correct procedure....I doubt it was. But backups and recovery worked for me. I dont want to mess around with it too much if that functionality is working.

Ehhh, place looks ok to me. But its up to you, its always a gamble in the mail.

I am planning to buy one of these tablets to tinker with. After some searching, I found the following rom alternatives:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum...-firmware-version-1-04-test-version-20130723/
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/91121-tempestu39gt-roms-v0001/
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/89434-custom-firmware-from-4pda-based-on-stock-104/
Do you know of any other worthwhile rom to try out, or are these three all that's available?
Anyone?

thanks for sharing, gonna try the TempestU39GT
There's also 1.05 multiwindow rom that some say is better than stock 1.04, download is here :
rom
Do not buy the Cube U39GT-3G version of this tablet, I ordered one from http://www.cube-tablet.com and it came with a wrong IMEI number. I cannot use any SIM data card because of this with this tablet.
I bought the Wifi version, so I am not in danger. Thanks for the warning though, it certainly speaks of extremely crappy QA.
racht: anytime, and thank you for the link to 1.5.
It seems like another rom might be on the works:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?8204-Are-there-any-worthwhile-roms-for-the-Cube-U39GT
Apparently it will be based on stock 1.04 instead of 1.05, but if it comes to completion it might be worth it to try it out.

ROM has been uploaded yesterday but the dev doesn't own a U39GT. So anyone willing to test can do it now
I can't believe that slipped by me. Thanks for the heads-up. :good:

This looks promising as well with 1.06 Cube firmware update and AOSP launcher.
New original Cube firmware 1.06 is downloadabl from official cube site.

I can recommend Google for translating the chinese, you can download the ROM from baidu which could take a few hours.
Awesome, thanks for the heads-up.
They require registration to access the downloads? Dammit, I refuse to create an account just to go and download something. Do you have an account there, locutus2000? If so, would you be willing to mirror it somewhere?
I was able to fix the IMEI issue, so it is safe to buy, again. The support from the vendor was not helpful, the wrong IMEI number is not only wrong for me but for all of the sold models. They all have 111111111111111 as IMEI number, no big deal with the MTK Droid Tools I was able to load a new IMEI, that was generated from an internet site. It works with the SIM cards now.
Important to know: the Cube 9 Talk with the 3G SIM card uses MediaTek MTK8389T CPU whereas the Cube 9 without the SIM card 3G feature uses a RockChip RK3188 CPU. The ROMs are not interchangeable.
So whatever issues you may have, it may be a completely different story for the person that owns the other chipset. Strange enough that Cube built two similar products with completely different hardware.
The Cube U39GT 3G ROM Version 1.03 for the 3G version can be found here:
http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=206
If you have donwloaded and unpacked the firmware, you may end up with chinese folder names. Flash tool did not accept the scatter file when I tried to select it using these folder names.
To resolve this: Simply create a new folder name and copy/paste the ROM of the Cube to the new folder, the update should then work with the Flashtool. I have used Version 3.1328.0.183. The update takes a while so be patient. Worked with mine.

Thank you for important info, I have 3G version too. And how did you succeed root, can you give me any advice?
Am I missing it or are there instructions to root and instructions for multi-boot but no ROM for the LG G Vista, please?
I've searched and read through a bunch of threads but nada ... so far.
Will any of the ROMs for other LG G-series phones work?
Thanks!
Wait ... I just looked in About phone and it says this is a VS880.
I just got this from Verizon.
I'm seeing the VS880 referred to as a G2 and a G3 on the Internet - what is it really, please?
It came with Android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.0+, and our son rooted it for me earlier today.
Just in case any of those details help ...

They are the same thing. One is the internal name while the other is normal users name of the device. As for roms make sure to do your reading up as the device is pretty locked down.
So, you are saying that there is no ROM anywhere for the LG G Vista/VS880?
Is there any reason to believe that anyone is actively developing one?
There are so many sites touting Rooting as a pathway to loading a ROM it seems odd there there is not one.

It takes more then root. You need an u locked bootloader or a way to bypass a locked bootloader like safestrap or bump. Most developers that make roms only make them for devices they own.
The bootloader bypass has been solved:
http://www.unlock-bootloader.info/mp3-0/lg-g-vista-6569.html
The LG G Vista/VX880 is "free" on Verizon with the $16/mo Edge data plan & has a nice big display.
I have my Samsung Tab4 7" tablet for sale as I don't need it now that I have the LG G Vista/VX880.
There are ROMs for the models all around the LG G Vista/VX880 - it's hard to believe that LG made that phone so radically different from the others that tweaking an existing ROM to port it would be beyond a developer.
Sure wish I had the skills ... sigh.
It's not really that. It's most developers seldom do ports. Let alone for devices that don't have. After looking at the spec is not a bad mid range device. But also remember that. Most carriers in the world are GSM carriers and very few work on cdma devices.
There are plenty of Tuts on how to port. Could be something you could look into
Back to this ...
Modified request: Is there an app/hack that strips-out all of the Google stuff, especially their backdoors & data-leeching?
If no one is going to build a custom mod - which seems apparent - it sure would be good to have a clean machine onto which to then install carefully selected apps.
Thanks!

Simple answer is no. You would have to build a rom from source and then remove alot of the Google based code. There is a project that is working on it but you lose alot of functionality.

Cannot the functionality be restored via privacy-respecting alternative apps?
What about an app that monitors the bad behavior of the Google code than cannot be removed and blocks execution of data-leeching & activity monitoring?

Not completely no. Many have been trying over the years. Your biggest issue is the device your using. Once that is taken care of you can try and build something but like I said alot of the stuff is built directly into the os.
To be honest privacy is an illusion at best now a days. Every thing monitors what you do. From credit cards to social net networking. It is all made to get as much info as it can about a person. Even carriers do it. It has even come to light that Verizon can monitor the apps installed on a device.

I just re-flashed my VX880 last night to stock 5.1.1.
I can give some pointers that I had to work through if you have any questions, or have not gotten any help since last November.
I have spent many hours looking .

Many Many hours wasted on Google,Bing,ect. I haven't found anything. I have seen where some people refer to this as the same as a G2 And others but it's clearly not. But yeah wish someone would put something out. Agreed. I have however figured out how to get Viper4Android and Dolby Atmos to work. So if anyone is interested in knowing how that's done hit me up. All you have to have is root. NO custom recovery. Haven't seen a post on how to do that either? I still have 8 more to go before I can post lol.
