Generally phone information is written somewhere below battery or near battery compartment.
Check that whole battery compartment and near SIM Slot of your phone, you may find a clue.
If you find its box/bill it may help you. Sometimes roadside mobile repair shops know such things.
If you cannot find it, I am afraid there is no other way.

[Q] My topaz OS stucked!!!

Hi every one,
I tried to hardsp my topaz and now its totally stucked whenever I turn on my phone... Windows start but is stucked ... I tried almost every single thing, but its not functioning properly!!!
I tried hard reset my phone... Soft resets ... new windows if gets installed again its stucked
Can XDA devs please provide a response....
Also, My phone doesnt have a front camera... And some one told me abt the processor that its b/w 6225 to 6228...
Does this phone can be converted to android phone???
"Also, My phone doesnt have a front camera..."
Ur phone is not the original TD2 coz Topaz has a front facing camera.Since you have flashed a ROM that was not compatible with your device it has gone faulty.
So how can it be fixed :sad:
can any professional here can tell any thing
Need help
HALP ME
Try searching instead of begging.
What you are looking for is a way to unbrick your phone. By your phone I mean your model. Not the model that is in this section. if your phone does not have a front facing camera that is not on the same side as the batery door then you are in the wrong section looking at the wrong ROMS and hardSPL.
Fiist identify your EXACT model phone then look in that thread for ways to unbrick it and to remove hardSP. Then start over in that thread if your phone can be updated even.

it's good looking clone, but it is not Topaz.
look at the label under your battery. There should be inscription "TOPA100 5VDC---1A FCC ID NM8TPZV Maid in Taiwan (or maybe somewhere else)". where TOPA100 is actual indication of Topaz model. Do you have the same label? Probably instead of TOPA100 were will be indicated actual name of your model.

[Q] Indentifying Mainboard Chip (pic)

Hi, bit of a tricky one this.. the picture attached is supposed be my water damaged SGS2 mainboard - what a mess
(backstory)
I've since had the phone back from the service centre, looking nothing like that, so the engineer probably cleaned it up right? which is nice of him.. problem is:
[Q] Which chip on the mainboard is that? - I know, it's not much to go from, but I can not find that damage anywhere on my mainboard! Weird. I'm not an expert though so I have my doubts..
I thought maybe 1) I need a magnifying glass to see this? (I find that hard to believe when I look at the picture!) or 2) It's under an EMI shield or something, which doesn't seem right to me either.
Any advice appreciated! TIA
+ apologies if I broke any forum rules; I tried but I probably failed ;(
F knows,but I put a link up yesterday for the service manual.Download it and view it on a pc.Check my recent posts and youll get the hotfile link.
was
Doesn't really help, even looking directly at the board is hard enough, but thanks. You'd think you'd see the damage with the naked eye though, right?

Really messed up with Italian TAB

Hey guys,
haven't asked here anything for a while, but now i feel like in trouble with companies Italian Olivetti (?) made tablet called Olipad Graphos.
Basically one guy made a factory reset for it and know it's almost dead, basically just can't get past lockscreen. No buttons, no notification bar pullable just nothing. Of course it seems like there is no problem with that, just find firmware, make an upadate and life goes on, but there is PROBLEM - no existence of firmware rom or anything else, so there is question what goes on is there any possibility to make this toy work? There is possibility to get into stock recovery with basic options.. Hope there is any possible solution.
Any help will be really appreciated, thanks!
Anybody got an idea?
up
Have anyone looked at this threat? I'm kinda deadlock

Already tried that, but no reply from them after a month
the only people that can help you is the manufacturer or person having the same tablet

All right, so what if i can get same tablet? Is it possible to copy system files from it or something like that?
It could be possible if the tablet had Twrp. Your best bet is to ask the manufacturer to send the firmware to you. Maybe this time they will respond

You are stuck. It most likely has a very limited software that was made just for demo purposes and may not even have the hardware inside. Without and imei you won't really even be able to use it for anything
My own idé was to root it and get rid of the demo mode that keep starting, but that dont work without imei, i use The tablet and it works fine otherwise this is just so annoying. There aint any way to Flash another rom to it without imei? Or is it possible to give it a imei on my own?

If you found a stock rom for it then you might be able to flash it. As for giving it an imei no. Anything dealing with the imei is illegal in most places and that even encludes the tools to mess with it.
So i dont need a imei to flash? Thought so becorse i need it for root? And how to find out what stock rom i need?
Someone want The beer/Coffee money? Would be lovley if someone offer teamwiever help! Iam so sick of this now! Need to fix this or getting another tablet!
You will have to track down the real model of the device. To see if there is even a stock rom.
You don't need an imei to flash it. That is just the serial number that is coded to the main board. (you need it to connect to a network though.) This can normally be fixed by flashing stock software but not always.
The problem with eBay is that you never know really what you get. Mainly if you get it from China. Remember that if it seems too good to be true then it normally is and you really do get what you pay for.
Its time to give this up now i think.. Iam stuck! As I said before.. Coffee/beer money to The guy that solve this ****ty tablet,
I like it bit its so annoying to get this demo **** to start all The time!!

spare battery

Hello, I am looking to change my battery that has swollen.
Do you have an idea where to buy it?
AFAIK you can't buy new batteries, nor can you remove the old one unless you know exactly what you're doing.
it is removed from the phone but I can not find a seller for this item ......
aliexpress, there is a lot of stuff for our phones. i picked up the screen about a month ago, and it cost only 20$.
I also bought a screen for this phone on this site, but there is no battery ...

I have also bought a screen from AliExpress, but there are no instruction on how to replace. Do you have any kind of instructions? I can only find remove the screws on the bottom and the simcard holder, then use a prying tool between the bezel and the backplate. But this is very limited? Any advice? Ofcourse doing it is all at my own risk, but I need some help
Hello ,
I found a video on "youtube" for a tutorial done in Russia.
Hoping that it will be useful

Hi Bubu,
I can't find the video. Do you have the link or can you post the title (if a link wouldn't be allowed).
Any help is probably better that none.
A local phone shop was able to open it. Now I am removing all parts. I am currently stuck with the battery, but I expect the screen will also be a challenge. At least it seems it was at the first Swift.
Thanks,
