Hey guys,
This is my 1st post here ever.
The only time I fiddled around with rooting an android phone was more than a year ago when I had an AT&T Samsung infuse. I followed very detailed instructions on how to root it and upgrade it. It worked like a charm and I'm so grateful to all of you experts trying to help newbies.
A friend of mine went to China last month and brought me a Samsung s3 clone.
The phone is factory unlocked BUT
1. It doesn't have the original google play application. It has a similar logo which leads to a Chinese app store.
2. Google mail account application is missing
3. The phone supports only Chinese, Korean and English languages. (I'd like to use it in different ones)
So I need to re-install a good Android version that has all the Android features that I'm missing
I thought it would be easy to find instructions on how to do it it here, but unfortunately I wasn't lucky to find a direct and clear step -by step instructions for my phone model
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Model #: mtk6515_ics2
Android version: 4.0.4
Base band version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14
Kernel Version: 3.0.13
[email protected]#1
Build Number: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18
Custom Build Version: V15.12
Please help!
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? :crying:
Hey man,
unfortunately I don't think anyone can help you rooting/changing roms as it's a replica and there isn't a real development for it.
BUT as for the play store you can DL the apk directly from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/14/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-6/
As for the phone language, after installing the google play store look for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=en
and choose the language of your wishing. That is in case that your phone supports it.
If you mean by google mail account the gmail app then in that case:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ith-slide-out-navigation-and-brand-new-inbox/
BTW for future references - try to make a search for yourself I'm sure you could've find those in less than a minute
Cheers.
Thanx
Thanx a lot for your effort and concern.
I downloaded the latest google play apk, I installed it, but it wasn't working apparently because "google login service" and "google services framework" were missing too!
So I downloaded them, but they needed to be installed in system/apps.
I downloaded "root explorer" which should help me accessing the system folder.
I copied&pasted the apps in system/apps but a message says "your phone should be rooted first in order to paste" came out.
So back to square1
On the other hand, I tried to disactivate some of the annoying Chinese applications that came with the system using "root app delete", and guess what?
I get the same message that I should root this phone first.
So how can I root this bloody thing???
Yeah that is sounds pretty frustraing..Well I guess you won't find here a "how to root s3 replica" guide and personally I wouldn't try and rooting the device as it could easily brick it.
I suggest you go to the store and tell them that you've got a phone with no option to download apps, or connect to your Google account...
Hope you'll sort things up with the store soon

I wish I could follow your advise. The shop is 4000 miles away in China.
There is a google store app installed, but it's fake. It has a similar icon but with different proportions. The problem is that it's in Chinese and it deals with chinese applications.
Oh that is unreachable, but maybe can you contact them via Email etc..?
Anyways I found this thread I think you'll see it much more beneficial than my help as I don't have experience on rooting replicas and it's focused on your device:

thanx,
This method is for i9300 mtk6575
Will it work on my phone which is i9300 mtk6515_ics2?
What are my chances to brick the phone if I follow this procedure?

If you flash recovery from different device, there's a big chance you brick it
Try to use MTKDroidTools to root it, its pretty safe.
As @lolet said correct, you can possibly brick your phone...
That's why I advise you to ask in the thread I've linked onto, there are fellows there with much more experience than myself with rooting your device.
I guess in the last couple of years I've flashed hundreds of times but only on samsung, htc and motorolas.

Hi I have an Infotmic Wowpad that has been with me for around a year now and I've been wondering how I could update it.To me its a real brick as its so bloody slow and its battery life is bad too.I want to do a major upgrade to this tablet so I could play numerous games,watch movies and videos and other things like Skype.Another problem is that the old Android Market on this supports only like 5 apps for my tab! .Plz can someone help me update this thing with a easy simple way.I dont even know if its rooted or not and I would love to update it to either a fast and less laggy version of Froyo,Gingerbread or ICS.Some important info to know:
1.Model Number-deb
2.Firmware version-2.1-update1
3.Kernel version-2.6.32.9
4.Build number-deb-r2.1.1561
Thats pretty much it and it would be great if someone helped me turn it into a daily device as I have seen many reports on the net that this device can turn out amazing.
Thanx for reading and hopefully i can change this tablet as soon as possible.
~Ihazo333
here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/gome-flytouch-ii-firmware/12723-froyo-android-2-2-running-ft2-series-tablets-confirmed.html is how to upgrade your tablet to froyo 2.2
i dont find any gb or ics updates
Btw are Infotmic Wowpads already rooted and should i root it before doing this if it isnt rooted and where do i find 2.1 v3245 coz i dont have that one....
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
I found site with tutorial:
www.androidtablets.net/forum/gome-f...roid2-1-stable-smooth-fast-unofficial-63.html
But there is link with firmware on megaupload which is closed and i can't find any other site
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v14 (1.21ghz)
One quick question...is Flytouch2 already rooted,does it need to be rooted with some kind of app?
I can't help u too much with it but i think u don't need root.
As i read from sites (i gave in previous posts): when u start ur device from SD card with rom it should start flashing/copying files so it has installed sth what let u do it and u dont need nothing new (like root)
I can say that on my Xperia i dont need root to flash roms, so its possible that u dont need it too
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v14 (1.21ghz)
Should i just use the sites XDA have said to use to get android.rar, because androidtablets said if that megaupload didnt work that we should go to XDA's choice of mediafire...another question is this the one i wanted 2.1 v3245?

Hi everyone, i am new at this forum and android devices, i searched for 2 days but cannot find exact answers for my problem
I bought an iphone 4s clone which the seller said that name is Gooapple V5 3G, android 2.3.5 is installed on it, but when i installed antutu benchmark and look at the system info, it is written:
Phone Model:

UBoot Ver. : 2010.06
......
is written.
First of all i am looking a rom which is android 4 for this phone. I searched for that and i saw that there are some phones with android 4.0 which has the MT6573 cpu. Do you know are there any rom like this which i can install on it? Are gooapple v5 3g roms compatible to this phone?
Also i installed the usb drivers for this phone and rooted the device, but i cant reach the sd card from pc, in my computer there occurs a removable device but not accesible. What is the solution of this?
Thanks
first of all, there are no mt6573 based smartphones out there, running android 4.0 . maybe someone is porting ICS to the mt6573, but right now i can not find 4.0 for it. there are phones put there with faked Android version, such as 4.0.9 or something.
yes, you can install different Roms on your device, but you have to port them first.
I have no answer for your question, maybe the SD card has a switch for read only?
i used wrong rom and lost the system of the device, now i need correct rom, is there anyone who has correct rom of this?

i know this but this device is not gooapple
ahh sorry, my fault. i just flight over your post, it was late. mybe some aditional informaton ( pictures of the phone, the back, the back without battery...
those version numbers or names can be faked easily, it is hard to say what phone you have with the given information. greets, chris
you have to reflash your stock firmware.
i found the rom that works correct but i dont like ios interface on it. now i m looking for a rom which has android interface
use this tool to backup your current working firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683883
and upload your Rom somewhere ( i only need boot.img and system.img ). I'm interested in the IOS interface and i can port almost all available mt6573 ROM's to your device.
I am currently working on a custom Rom with Cyanogenmod Settings,DSP manager, ICS themed , ext2 support and much more.
if you are interested, i can make you a flashable zipfile.
w w w.4shared-china.com/rar/GyMPoJuc/mt6375-236gps_backup.html
this is the rom i m using on my phone, all .img files in it
i dont like ios interface because it has lots of differences from real ios interface, text characters, icons, menus have lots of mistakes
and also roms for this device work too slow, is it possible to make lite and android gui custom rom for this device?
look at the pictures in my last post, this is a custom ROM made by me. the Mt6573 isn't that fast, but i tried to make a fast ROM for it.
it is working pretty fast right now, no chinese apps and a lot of customization you can do . there are a lot of ROM's out there, some are good, some are pretty bad. like i said, i can make a flashable zip for your device, so you can try out my ROM.
i can try if you can make a zip for me, this would really help me
also i have another problem with the rom which i gave the link of it, the network problem
if the gsm signal become too low, restricted access changed - voice service blocked error occurs, in my home and office signal is too low so i cant use the phone, do you know any solution for this?
i will make one asap, maybe your networking problems are gone with my ROM. im from Germany, have no problems here with the signal at all.
maybe your smartphone is just ****ed up, we will see later.
you got these problem too, before you got the new ROM? maybe the Baseband drivers are wrong or something...
Press VOL + and power toegether, what Recovery shows up? a standart mediatek one or do you already have a custom recovery?
i didnt use the phone with sim card before this rom so i dont know
recovery screen is standard mediatek
there you go! this is a clockworkmod recovery for your phone. just flash it with Flashtool and try it out! flashing a new rom becomes pretty easy with it. hope it will work, give me a quick response if it isn't working.
edit:
some minor tips: dont flash the preloader in any case, this could damage your phone, if it is the wrong one!!!
and always make a backup of the existing images!
i flashed with flashtool and didnt flashed preloader, dsp_bl, changed the recovery.img with the one you gave, nothing changed same ios gui, did i do something wrong?
do you have whole new rom for this device which includes all the image files in it? the one i shared here is too slow and some problems
the file i given you is ONLY the recovery, after flashing try it out with phone off and hold VOL+ and POWER, the recovery screen shows up with clockworkmod recovery.
the fully rom ( including boot.img and system.img) needs more work, i haven't the time to do it yet. just give me a day for it. porting a Rom to a diffrent screenresolution needs more work, cause my device is 480x800 pixels, yours only 320x480. i have to say, there can be some failures because of the different resolution, but this can be fixed easily.
the custom recovery i gave you is necessary for flashing new roms easily.
Hi All,
I have recently purchased this gorgeous looking android mini PC with camera. It is running ICS. Wondering if any one aware of a jellybean upgrade or a custom ROM made for this? Following are the specs:

3 GPU Mail-400MP*1
4 OS Android 4.0.4

Hi,
i own the same one. Still have no problems with it. The only thing i was wondering about ist an preconfigured Skype Account i can not delete. I tried to reset to factory settings but it did not work. I really would like to delete this Account or better reset the model to have a clean version of android on it. I am still looking for a matching rom. Did you find one?
The firmware you can download here
enybox.com/En/news/class/
can you tell me how you reseted your device. there is a smale hole on the right side for reset but when i push it nothing happens and when i try to install the mentioned firmware it is saying no new firmware necessary.
Would be nice to get some answers.
Good luck so far
Sorry, I have recived one second HD2 and works worst that the first one at last I have my money back and buy one Rikomagic 802IIIS. There is one HD2 dual core that maybe works... to reset you have to download firmware from veidoo and follow the instructions, you will need one microSD greater than 2GB. But I think that Skype kepps the same. Hope you will have more luky that mee!
I have a cheap china clone of the Samsung S3 phone. It claims to be:
Model GT-i9300
Android version 4.1.1
BASEBAND VERSION - MAU1.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V12.2012/09/20 18:56
kernel3.0.13 - [email protected] #1 wed feb 27 14.44.52 cst 2013
build number - ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.6
CUSTOM BUILD 001130227
DEVELOPER DEVICE ID - JA56-JNR6-NEDN-C
Am not too sure about the Android version, maybe 4.0.3 and someone altered the build.prop to make the phone sell better. Phone came with a fake Antutu program to display fake results. Can anyone advise how to actually check the system for correct version?
It has an MTK6575 CPU(appears to be 1.2MHz), single micro-sim, with 540 by 960 display, front and rear cameras.
Came with many software problems, have managed to get the WiFi stable, however still some problems with the GPS chip, but eventually got YGPS to obtain a fix and give me a location – but very unreliable. Not managed to get any other software to work.
PROBLEM 1
However, when I use google Maps, it always want to install the Google Play Services, so that it has the V2. This always fails due to error "incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".
It seems to be complaining about Google Framework as this and play services both specify
<shared-user name="com.google.uid.shared" > - not found any other programs/system bits using shared ID's
could a poorly doctored build.prop be causing this?
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
PROBLEM 2
The other problem I have noticed is that MediaTek seem to have their own location services. In mobile tools, engineering mode, there is an option to use either Google or MediaTek. If I specify Google, it states that the goggle Netloc and Geocoder services’ Fail to bind’, but no problem with the MediaTek drivers? As MediaTek only divert their traffic to Google anyway, it would seem more sensible to bind with google direct.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

the problem seems to be with the firmware and build search the net for a stock firmware for your phone if there is one and flash may be that helps

The problem with these 'unnamed' clones is that there isn't any stock firmware, you get only what it comes with. Usually this is 'defective' as they rush to sell the phones while there is still a demand for them, and never get the firmware working properly. So some advice if you are looking for a smartphone/tablet, ONLY BUY ONE WITH SOME SORT OF AFTER SALES SUPPORT! Check the forums and see what phones have stock ROMS that are being actively developed.
PROBLEM 3
The LocationManger never reports any 'NETWORK' location. Wrote software to check it, can get a location when I run this on a tablet with only a WiFi connection, but on this phone with both WiFi and Cell, no location provided.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
Update
PROBLEM 1 - SOLVED
guessed that it was really ICS and not JB, so loaded gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip with CMW
this got over the shared user ID problem.
However, lost the IMEI number when doing this, (maybe clearing dalvik, not looked into) so reinstated with the MTKDroidTools.
SO RECORD YOUR IMEI BEFORE applying update.
Now thinks it is dual sim version, but that doesn't seem to matter
Now using the new Google Location software, GPS fix from COLD within 2 mins.
so problems 2 and 3 seem immaterial now.
see this post for solution to fix problem 1 ... created by brother @praderj

one of the ROMs on this needrom site may or may not work. for instance: this one for MTK6589 chip seems right. also check this trhead -- page 72 in that thread may have some good tips.
do this at your own risk. I have no experience with no-brand or clone devices. even the administrator of Pandawill (chinese vendor) said there is no ROM available for download.

some ideas ... : did you search keyword "GT-I9502" in this forum's search box? in google / bing / yahoo / yandex.ru / 4pda.ru / freaktab.com / ... ? maybe browse in and PM a seemingly experienced person in one these or other threads...

I did, and my device is kinda wierd because it doesn't have any brand name as you might guess. It says "SAMSUNG" in it.
And I read on the internet if I download original samsung duos i9502 rom it will brick my device (logically). I searched on Russian forums, Chinese forums but couldn't find any solution
Edit:
I found this:
http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post1157902.html#p1157902
but as it is russian and google can't translate everything properly I dont know is it right one or not.

the file that user "sheitan" pitches is likely a CWM (recovery) backup package, and not a proper ROM, due to its ~1 GB size . so really, do not use that. what's the issue or lack of features in your current ROM? As an alternative to flashing a slick 3rd party ROM, you could use various tweaks such as Xposed Framework, Modaco, and GravityBox. what are you looking to add or change in your phone's ROM? cheers with baltika.

It is 1Gb because it has actually 2 Same rom for 2 different flashing programs.
When I got this clone s4 I figured many different ways to flash the phone.
I used "sheitan"'s backup, and everything worked but screen
So I flashed my backup back again.
Well to your question why do I need a rom, maybe you know maybe you dont, these chinese phones use kinda low version of Gapps. Therefore I can not play Clash of Clans (I can but I can't load my account to it because it asks google play services).
So I was trying to install google play services and I screwed up a bit and was not able to install any apk.
(Was just able to push the apk file do data/apk and reboot - but its disgusting you know. Imagine everytime you had to do it)
And my backup was bad one (I backed up after I screwed up things so its kinda useless)
but what I did solved my problem so far, this "sheitan" guy's backup had "system.img" that contains necessary apps, I flashed only system.img and the other elements stayed same in my phone so everything works now.
But Of course I will not say no to an Omni or Cyanogenmod rom ever

I C. Wow this topic "can't find a custom rom for i9502" is very popular!
Clever you found the system.img file to be useful. Damn those Russians are f'cking sh't up in a good way :good: ! I took only one semester of college Russian, and I wish I knew a lot more so I could read the forums. I suppose flashing Gapps through recovery mode or something like that would be beneficial. But I don't have experience with that. What version of android you running? I saw the very first post of this thread there was no "brand" or "device" or some other strings. Is there a manufacturer or brand or other good strings in the phone? I attached an output of my /system/build.prop as an example. If you could get more detail from build.prop or by another way then the information may be of use. I found some more files linked in the Russian I9500 forums. I don't know what they are or do, but have you tried these?

As you see, I dont have anything useful in my build.prop because clever chinese friends thought they will trick customers by writing samsung there in the phone's build.prop but anyways, I will try to port cyanogen on my own, I'm a backend web developer but no experience on android so it will be good way to start, I think.
About Gapps, I read on some forums people can't update their google play store and other gapps because they are pre installed in system so they can't be updated.
But I'm afraid that when I update gapps they wont work and I'll have to pick whats necessary again and again so I'm kinda tired.
The one thing I'm happy with the phone is that battery is godlike. Survives 1,5 days and my previous phone (Note1) was like 10-12 hours a day barely. Now I'm happy but I dont know what'll happen in future.

ro.build.fingerprint looks good. I searched that and got a videos and file:
I like the hearing ♫ music in the video even though I can NOT see or read anything in the video!

wow nice. push the uptime limits woop woop! :victory: try to get more than 24 hours uptime and on battery without charging! maybe turn off "location" settings under system Settings and under Google Maps. Google Maps and Google Services and sometimes Wifi are real battery eaters
*EDIT* forgot to say -- You're very welcome. I enjoy tinkering with these things. I don't like MS-windows on phones! and iPhones are expensive! hell no! I was so happy to know Google released a smartphone with Linux in 2008 or '9. and I am awaiting arrival of a chinese boat offshore USA filled with electronics so I can get my JXD Android gaming tablet and connect it to my TV. Cheers

Same model of Cellphone, need help with ROM's
Dear,
I have the same model GT-I9502 clone.
I have some problems with this cellphone, i want try install another Android and Rom version for it, but i dont know whats version i need, and i dont know even i can download a ROM and how to do.
You can say what you do in your GT-I9502?
You could install a new rom on it? Found a compatible version?
To you know better mys problems:
This cellphone has a serious problem of "battery drain", sometimes it is with 84% battery and rebooting it, and it appears with 66%, sometimes before reaching 1% it off (for example, when this with 10% or some other).
Battery drains very fast, and turns itself off before the battery goes to 0% sometimes, for example, sometimes have shows that 50 % of battery and turn off anyway.
Detail, the battery temperature is normal, the app shows usually 22 C.
Another problem I noticed , had a day that was showing 47 % battery indefinitely, and with the app adobe opened, was showing 47 % - have stayed that way for so long without even changing the percentage, rebooted and then called again, and was 22 %, ie, apparently the battery meter stop to count the % and not show the real situation, the OS of my phone will be some bug or the problem are battery itself?
I trie another batterys, but the problem continues.
Already setting the cell for maximum economy with power saving mode on, with a minimum brightness with function close applications when you leave, and nothing worked to solve the problem of battery %.
I thought I'd try to install another version of android or ROM, but never did it.
And as this GT-9502 is a clone, do not know which version to use.
maybe you can help me, at least saying how you install another ROM in your cellphone.
