I know there are custom Roms Floating around for the quad core S4 Clones with a different chipset and Roms for multiple MTK6577 devices with other names and specs but does anyone know if there is a Custom Rom out flashable for the S4 I9500 dual core clone?This phone is painful to try to use.It freezes up constantly and drains battery like crazy.Also I can't get Google contacts to sync which I depend on for my contacts list,apparently there is some other contacts app loaded on this thing and I'm not sure what files control Google contacts otherwise I would just pull them out of one of my Sammy phones.I am rooted,CMW is installed and I fixed GPS(that finally works).As it sits,this phone cannot even be used because of all the problems.If someone has a link to a CMW flashable Rom for this specific phone please link me to it.Thanks
i would like to know this too , thanks
I have already tried to port like 3 different mtk6577 roms including 1 meant specifically for a mtk6577 dual core phone and I got nowhere. I switched out and removed all the files in the guides for these mtk devices and it didn't work.

I have spent hours combing through that thread and have even tried flashing fluffys rom. I will look more there.There is support for the mtk6589 chipset on many clones but beyond a link to the original factory rom zip for my particular clone(which I downloaded already). I can't find anything anywhere even on needrom. Thanks for the link though and for replying to me.

I think it was needrom.com .There are many roms there but you have to find the ones for hdc mtk6577 i9300 S4 clones dual core processor if you have the same piece of crap phone.You will get no help with this phone.Noone is willing to help with it.Everything you learn you will have to learn from your own research. I haven't messed with this phone in months.It's pretty much a lost cause even though I have it running ok now.There is no NFC no matter what the box says,battery life is non-existent(unless you buy an OEM S4 i9300 battery) and the WIFI is weak at best.You can however get GPS working correctly if you research it.It is really just an inferior device.I bought it on accident I got scammed buying a Samsung S4.I never would of wasted my money on this P.O.S. Good luck

same here, I got scammed too, I tried to change the Rom hoping that it would improve the battery life, but no matter which mt6577 based Rom I install, none of them can drive the LCD, therefore I have no picture on the screen, all I have is some dots, but the phone works, I get phone calls and all, that's why I was asking, which one did you get, bc after trying more than 6 Roms I still can't find one that can drive the LCD.

I have the original rom still on mine. I tried several and none of them worked. I even tried building my own. I froze all the apps I could and changed the launcher to nova. In your case I'm afraid it's probably not the rom causing the lcd to not work. My guess is your lcd either **** the bed or if you are lucky maybe just the ribbon connecting the lcd to the motherboard inside came dislodged somehow. (highly unlikely but possible)

Hi technut,
I can definitely confirm these battery issues and the WLAN having a low range (to put it mildly). Ok... some bluetooth problems as well...
Anyway I'm using this phone for a second SIM.
Even it sounds like you've stopped investigating about this phone: did you stumble on any news?
Is it really possible to install a ClockworkRecovery to that particular HDC 9500 MTK6577 Dual core phone without causing a brick?
(E.g. with MTK Droid Root & Tools?)
Best regards,
Pete

Hello all!
So after much careful consideration I've decided to post this thread.
This thread is for all those people with the Goophone that isn't like the others. The ugly duckling - so to speak.
I purchased a goophone i5 from "efit" from dhgate.com after watching mayianjay's Youtube videos.
http://www.dhgate.com/goophone-i5-m...oid-4/p-ff8080813a071f7b013a594a682b5965.html
Unfortunately the phone WASN'T the same as mayianjay's and NONE of his rom's work with this particular model, even further I couldn't find a CWM or TWRP recovery.img anywhere on the internet that was compatible with this phone, so I thought I'd help out my new friends of XDA and provide you guys with as much information as possible.
The phone model information is as follows (according to Android System Info.apk).
Android Version: 4.2.1
CPU: MT6575
CPU Hardware: MT6577
CPU HardwareP1: MT6575
Resolution: 480 x 854
DPI: 240
Brand: MZ
Device: E939
Model:iphone 5
Now, if this is what your phone looks like then I have good news for you - as you are almost certainly wondering where to find a recovery.img - See the attachment below. You will need flash tools which you can downloaded here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=10599596, alternatively you can try using MobileUncle. For this particular model you just have to have the phone off before commencing the flash with flash tools.
The recovery image provided comes with TWRP and if it STILL doesn't work for you then your only other option is building your own - which can be found reading my dear friend yuweng's post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825722&page=1 - There are alot of tutorials on his post and you can learn much on your endeavor to flashing your phone :victory:
Currently I have been unsuccessful installing any roms as I get "assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img")" when trying to install any ROM, which tells me that there are no supported ROMs for this device yet.
ROM's I've tried..
None from Colonelzap's blog work for this model

XDA-Goophone i5 Lite ROM with the 3g fix also doesn't install.
But fear not. I'll make my own rom fixes if I have too! If you need help with your Goophone I'm happy to assist. Although I haven't gotten quiet there yet I do believe I'm a stone ahead of many others. Also - I have a question to anyone out here who has fixed the 3g connection on the phone, How'd you do it?!

Thanks guy for the hard work.
I'm having no problem with my 3G connection out of the box.
But the GPS is not functioning at all.
All you need to do is edit the updater-script and remove those assert lines. That won't overwrite boot.img (which contains the kernel) but it'll allow the ROM to finish its install and you can make a try to see if it works or not. Maybe there's another way to flash boot.img...

Ah I see, I did hear there was a few GPS bugs but they can be fixed apparently, see that Goophone i5 lite rom thread I think this phone has the wrong 3G cell bands for my area (Australia VIC), Even though it says it supports it on the site.. :/ Looks like I'm doomed with the 3G Bug, I've tried copying the APN settings from one phone to another and all. Anyway no problem!

I also have this phone. (Goophone i5 which is MZ E939 model) and my 3G is stuck as well. I did the same thing you did friend - copy the APN's from my samsung galaxy which works perfeclty with 3G and APN's setting. When APN's appeared in goophone menu I was able to listed my GSM providers and I could choose this one I have SIM card inside. Neverthless during the connection I recieve "Unable to connect, try again later"
I did some tests using different apps and all shows that 3G 900mhz is working and is ON. But no success in connecting. It is really annoying when you have your smartfon offline - almost useless
I have the same problem with custom ROMs too. No way to install them - using ROM manager or SP flash tool. - always some error appears.
I tried to install the ROM then it say cannot find path to emmc something like that...
stock apk
hi, i have recently rooted this phone and i dumbfoundedly deleted the important apk's that includes the UI and home launcher etc
by any chance anyone may help me copy all the stock apk's and compile them into a zip/rar file for me? =[ would be much apreciated as i am unable to use recovery and updates also.:crying:

I have the same one from efit, I replaced all apps in system/app by google apps by the following
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
rootexplorer.apk
Vending.apk
DOWNLOAD IT HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o838cef8feakno
PS. I rooted the phone before replacing that, using MTKdroidtool
Now I see my phone is slower and the playstore opens but gives me an error when It installs some app (error code 110) which fails eventually.
IF some one can please give me the stock apps in system/app for this phone, I would appreciate.

Anxiously waiting for something, ready to donate as well
Anybody who blocked phone on apple logo or install wrong ROM or anything please try this solution:
wait till phones battery is fully uncharged then plug the phone to charger wait some minutes and press VOL - (minus) together with power button
After few seconds some menu will appears (more or less RECOVERY look like)
Choose CLEAR FLASH option using "MENU" button...
Phone should starts with factory menu and settings.
I did it about ten times and works perfectly in my goophone e939 or whatever it is...

Any help? any advise?? where are the expert?
While I'm not the expert, I think any post with [MT65xx] in the beginning will apply to your phone. For example, this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
BTW, nice phone! Looks like the real S4, just that the S4 I've seen was black.

Does any of the above look remotely familiar to your own device?
My phone is bricked, but research suggests that I might be able to build a new ROM based on the "system/" of a working device, using Android Kitchen. I'm told that entering the following code into the Terminal Emulator on a working device, creates a dump of the "system/" on the SD card, which can then be used to build the custom ROM in Android Kitchen:
Code:
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
If you give this a go, and succeed in Android Kitchen, I'd be really grateful if you could let me know, and perhaps share the ROM? At the moment finding a copy of the stock ROM looks to be my only solution at this point!
TIA

Ok, not to worry. Unfortunately I can't give you the link to the website. The original advert said that it had an 8MP camera, however it only has 4.9MP! I challenged the seller on this, and it looks as though they have stopped advertising the phone. I bought it through Amazon and the seller was 'Active Tek' based in China. I would avoid using this seller as they clearly missold the phone to me.

i have the same phone. but dont know how to root it. visit: samclone.blogspot.com
Hi, I have got exactly the same device as you have. I got the parcel yesterday; it had an app pre-installed called antutu, that antutu thingy says that the device has got arm v7 CPU named universal 5410, clocked at 1.7 gigs.
Ram of about 2 gigs and internal storage of 16 GB. However today I installed an app named CPU identifier that showed that its CPU was mt6572, mali400 GPU and to a heartbreaking surprise, only 512 mb of ram. Please tell me that this CPU identifier is crap and I have got a whole 2 gigs of ram. One more thing is that device is stunningly fast and efficient in handling big apps.
I also found some flaws; smart pause and smart scroll (eye sensor) only worked once or twice; GPS never worked; hand flip only works on one side. May be these issues can be resolved by installing a custom ROM.

Try this Firmware! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46762784&postcount=96
I really hope someone can help. I have been reading XDA for a few years and had 1 thread and always read before asking. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 from Amazon. I never had any problems with there service. I am from the US and am overseas for the next year. I had someone bring the phone to me. I decided to root my phone thinking it was an i9300 because that whats written on the back and also what it said inside the phone (settings-about phone).
GT-I9300
Android v 4.1.1
Firmware Build ID JRO03L
Firmware Build PDA I9300ZSEMC
Firmware Region TGY
When I first plugged in the usb to my laptop I noticed that it was trying to install T999 drivers I was confused for a moment until it installed I9300 drivers. I then used CF-auto root , which to my surprise didn't work. So I tried Cf auto Root for T999 and again I was surprised...it worked. I then installed a app called CPU-identifier from google play store. I started it up and again to my surprise it said that my phone had S4 snapdragon 1.5 dual core, 2GB RAM inside - this was 3 days ago. Last night I had the S3 plugged in and was pasting Hyperdrive Rom to my SD card and I was about to flash. I rebooted my phone to TWRP 2.5( I had installed that one ) I was in and out of there multiple time for the past few days with no FC's. My phone just cut off... I retried to boot it and nothing. Tried download mode(volume down,menu and power) tried recovery (volume up, menu and power). When I plug it in without battery the red light comes on for a couple of minutes. Also when I plug it to my laptop it makes the reading noise but does not actually read anything. I tried reinstalling the drivers a few times.
I just don't understand why and also I can't figure out why it says it is an i9300 but has the S4 snapdragon processor. By the way even An-Tu-Tu say that it has S4 snapdragon inside. My 2 questions are 1) Is it possible to fix this? 2) Is it possible to have an I9300 with the S4 processor inside? Being that I'm 8000 miles from America I have no way of taking it back. Any help would be appreciated. I've also read about "sudden death" is this a possibility? Sorry for the long thread, just wanted to give all information.

By the description you are giving that ur s3 has a snapdragon s4 processor ,a 2 gb ram it has to be a north american version(as u specified T999) because the int s3(i9300) has an 1.4ghz quad core processor with 1gb of ram so basically you cannot have an i9300 with a snapdragon s4 processor. i think it is the software as u say it shows i9300 in the settings but the CF-Auto root worked for T999. This is a very strange case! But if it is the hardware then u definitely cannot fix it (That is you cannot change the processor or the ram).But anyways it has to be the software ...ill try finding for similar cases and then leave some links for u to check .

Thanks for your quick response and any help would be great. I forgot to mention that in both cases where I tried to boot into download mode and recovery didn't work. I now think my phone may be bricked because when i plug it into PC it tries to install (QHSUSB_DLOAD). I googled it and they stated that when it does this it is bricked. I have no way to send to America to fix it. I just don't understand how that it is possible to get European phone with SGH T999 hardware-software.... very strange.
Another thing...if I can get odin to recognize it which firmware do I install, I9300 or T999? I believe that I need T999 because both An-Tu-Tu and CPU Identifier Id both came back with Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Adreno 225. Thank for your time
Another quick question if I just successfully unbricked my fully bricked phone using debicked SGH t999 img file does that mean my firmware should be t999? Look at the following screen shots 2 were taken before the brick and 2 were taken a few minutes age. Any other answers for the confused Galaxy I own? Is this a normal thing a European I9300 with a T999 hardware and I9300 software? Someone please explain what to do now in Odin. Do I need to flash what my setting say? And if I do flash for I9300 won't it brick because of the CPU being Qualcomm Snapdragon S4? HELP ME! This has been driving me nuts....

You asked what a pull out aerial is. The picture shows what a pull out aerial is. Ask a question, get an answer. That's how it works. Don't start getting cheeky now.
You have NOT got an i9300 as your hardware differs, ergo we cannot help.

put me on you ignore list ...you didn't help anyway. All you had to say was yes use the I9300 firmware or yes use the T999 firmware. Instead you wasted around 60 words and didn't help at all.

I'm facing the same problem i.e. settings>about device> says GT-I9300 while I go into download mode it says SGH-T999. All I want to confirm now is this:-
1) Can I root it using methods mentioned in xda forums of Galaxy S3 T-mobile i.e. here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-t-mobile ?
2)Can I install this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2176768 ?
EDIT : I rooted the phone using link 1, Now should I go for the roms mentioned in T-mobile S3 forum? Should I install the modem also?
Really sorry if this has been asked many of times but i really need some info.
I have a GooPhone s4 GT-I9500 with the following:
1.2GHz Quad Core CPU MTK6589
The phone seems to be buggy (camera freeze problem, Menu is a bit buggy but not all the time)
I got told i could flash it with a new rom to see if it sorts the problems out.
I have never flashed a rom before to android phone and not sure what rom i can use on it.
So can anyone please show me a rom i can use and link me to a tut on how to install the rom.
I'm a very quick learner and pick stuff up quick so any help would be cool
Many Thanks
Ian

Is there any rom for this phone i can flash it with ?
How did it go? I just bought goophone s4, managed to get root. But the process of building custom recovery, I just didn't bother. And i didn't find any rom.
Hello.
I was wondering if someone here can help me find the official rom for this phone. It is a Lenovo s850c but I think is a fake phone.
I post some photos in case someone have the same phone. I need the official rom as I have flashed it and... bricked it.... (
In spflashtool I can see it has a mtk6582.
It says the display is a ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11
Thankyou in advance!!

That's a fake phone for sure. It exists as "JiaYu G5S+" also on AliExpress. Same front with no brand name (first sign of a fake) but different brand names on the back cover. I bet you got it in a blue box also labelled only "Smart Phone"? Funny phone really. I wish I had one to play with to see what kind of apk's it contains to fake AnTuTu score and device info. It also fools CPU-Z to display totally fake hardware info. Did you try CF-Bench? That phone exists as a no fake 80-90$ Elephone P6i. Elephone has a HK based homepage with ROMs and links to other ROMs. Possibly also a MIUI ROM.
http://service.elephone.hk/
http://service.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=98#.VF0Y6EtPY7Q
Here is another thread about that phone on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/jiayu-g5s-elephone-p6i-guide-t2931900
See Mijue M5000
Hi, I think is the model M5000 Mijue
Actual specifications are:
- MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz
- Android 4.4
- 1GB Ram 8GB Rom
- 5.0 Inch FWVGA 854 * 480 IPS Screen
- 5.0MP Back Camera 0.3MP Front Camera
- Support 3G, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, Play Store, Multilanguage, etc
I'd be interested in a rom for this model.
Greetings.

Yes, I said it exists as Elephone P6i, wich has those specifications you list. If that hardware is packaged under the name Elephone or Mijue doesn't matter, the inside is manufactured by a few larger OEM factories for all such brands in China. The same inside as the fake Lenovo S850C in this thread exists as Landvo, Star, KingSing, Zoppo and so on also (with very few small variations). These low budget smart phones usually have that in common that a benchmark app will label the manufacturer as "Alps" and/or the firmware as …alps…
Like I wrote in my previous post in this thread, if you have that fake Lenovo S850C you can flash the ROMs for Elephone P6i from the links I posted. There is even a MIUI ROM for that phone, or at least that is what I have been told by people in the business in China. Use Chrome with autotranslation on if you come to a Chinese page (unless you speak Chinese).
Thanks
Thank you very much.
Really I am very grateful with your information and I can get down to work and take advantage of the device.

bricked android
help i need "rom" for this phone

my android bricked - no react ,no power
Sorry, I have not identified your model. I do not know how to get it working again.
If you made the backup phone can try to recover it.
To put the rom, it worked for me connect my phone to pc without battery and hold the volume +, hold immediately after connecting the battery button. MTKDroid recognizes and begins to download the files.
Luck.
@kele6a
What did you do with your phone when you bricked it?
That's a fake Lenovo for sure but in a new version that I have not seen before. It has another home button than the usual fake S850C.
But I guess it's the usual fake S850C hardware with a slightly different exterior. It looks more like a Samsung ripoff than an iPhone ripoff.
You should try to flash the ROMs in this thread or go to the Elephone homepage and look for info there. There are instructions for flashing on the Elephone homepage also.
It's very hard to really brick a MediaTek SoC. If I guess right your phone has a MT6582, not a MT6592. It can be an older MT6577 also and then the MT6582 ROM in this thread won't work.
Install the proper MTK drivers in your Win PC and then use SP Flash Tool for flashing (better than MTKDroidTools). The phone must be switched off (not standby, it must be really off) when you flash. Remove the battery to be sure. If you flash the wrong ROM you will only soft-brick the phone, so no big worry.
There is more info in the fake Jiayu G5S+ thread (also the same as Elephone P6i). I suggest you to read that whole thread. You have everything there (probably).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/jiayu-g5s-elephone-p6i-guide-t2931900
I was lucky to first make a backup with MTKDroid Tools and prepare for FlashTools, with that could resurrect.
I tried to put the rom of elephone p6i and the phone was unusable. Not even picked load, I thought it was broken.
With no reference model I had, I searched several forums as people did to 'revive'. Trying things that I read, and end with a mixture of several got to come back to life.
The most difficult for me is to find ways that FlashTools should recognize the phone to download the rom. From that moment the phone began to work, and now I'm reading to cook a rom for the device.
You have to keep in mind if you use windows 7, XP, windows 8.1 ... to install the drivers, then see which way the mode for firmware (dfu) is activated on your phone ... From what I read many models share the method to enter dfu, look at my previous post and try to see if it works.
If you do not have the backup, I think the first would find someone who may have or who has risen somewhere.
Also if you can find the phone that is clone, you can serve the rom of this. I think that is where you should focus your efforts.
I started looking for the info of MTKDroidTools (MTK6582, 1Gb Ram., android version, kernel version...), then added the type of display you thought was (FWVGA), ... and reviewing photos phones until I gave with which was the original ..., but I don't found a stock rom for this phone. I also helped another user uploaded a copy of the rom terminal in the post (thanks morpheubr).
All this adds patience, I had the phone as you and the end has come back to life. Good luck.
