That's the model number in the about phone screen? What about on the label under the battery?
EDIT: I see, after a quick google search, it is yet another variant. Most common in Japan, where you are. I was unable to find out what SoC/chipset this phone uses, so do NOT use just any Galaxy S2 root method randomly. Especially don't use any from this forum for the I9100. Chances are very good that will brick your phone. Sorry I don't have any better answers for you.
Here is the chip set on it I got from quadrant score....sooooo out looks like we can't do anything with this phone begging to be unleashed?....the info is in the pic below

You could try zergRush. It reportedly doesn't work on 2.3.6 or higher, but you could try it.
Is that supported for Mac though?

I don't know. I've never used it. Look it up.

I have had this phone for about a month. Just to say that I rooted it the day i got it.
I just used an old microSD card and rooted from this link. (The link to the .zp file is gone, but i found another way - see second link. Should also work fine)

Anyway, its great because I managed to get rid of a lot of AU bloatware. Now trying to figure out how to replace the horrible AU mail programs (SMS/MMS - they both suck so badly) with GO SMS PRO. No idea what the MMS settings for KDDI are though. SMS works fine through GO SMS PRO.
What I would ultimately like to do is to flash this with a better optimized rom. i feel there is so much potential for this phone, but AU (like most other carriers) has filled it with junk....
sooooo...if google translate is correct ( when is ever) I'm suppose to download the recovery.zip to sd card...install it...reboot...then install the root.zip from sd card and reboot and that should give me root for this phone?? any chance of me bricking it????
screw it ill give it a try...lol....balls to the ways...by the way i'm looking into the APN/MMS settings for KDDI...you know your AU address...
THis worked outstanding...except it wouldn't read the sd card when i tried the root.zip install....but all i did was used file manager...copied it to the internal sd...reboot into recovery and installed the root.zip....i shall make a new thread with this information from you....i know there are more of the SGS2 Wimax users....let the root madness begin...
EDIT: I put together a small guide on How To Root SG2 Wimax here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576000 ...let me know if you guys have any questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can....
I've had this inexpensive phone for about a month now, and the only reason I'd want root access is to install Titanium Backup or a firewall to freeze/block access to a certain Chinese Android Market app. The app in question sends out a notification to feature new Chinese apps everytime the phone is given internet access and there are no options to disable it within the app itself. And since it came with the phone, it cannot be uninstalled, and of course, it restarts immediately if stopped.
One-clicks do not work-- they all result in directory/permission errors. For example, superoneclick will hang on step 7 and doomlord's method would reboot the phone without making any changes.
It would seem my only resort would be to use a different ROM, but there are no ROMs for this phone. Of course there are methods using similar MTK 6573 phones which are usually just clones in different casings, but I've read that using non-specific ROMs will result in a brick as there are slight differences.
So how should I go about rooting this phone? What are the risks of using a non-specific ROM? Should I give up?

After pushing my Googling abilities to their upper limits, I finally found out how to root this phone. It turns out there was a Russian community that archives lots of information on Chinese phones (china-iphone.ru). I can't believe I managed to follow 35 pages of hints via Google Translate. It also turns out that the only way to root this phone is by flashing a recovery image, not by one-clicks. I was able to find a recovery image specific to this phone (STAR I9100) and everything worked out.
I was about to submit a guide on how I went about rooting it, but I can't share links. Oh well. I'm just glad I'll be able to finally be able to do something about the Chinese bloatware.

"doomlord's method would reboot the phone without making any changes."
just a tip: I experienced the same problem when i tried to root my i9001. The problem was, there were not the necessary files on my HDD after I extracted the doomlord's packet. I totally forgot about my virus protection, and because I blocked the notification from that program, the virus scanner automatically deleted the earlier mentioned files. That's why my phone was rebooted several times without making any changes using SuperOneClick and Doomlord too.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't use any real-time anti-virus because I browse the web and run untrusted programs in a sandboxed environment (and of course the one-clicks were ran outside of the sandbox). And I'm not sure which brand your phone is (or if it's even a China phone), but I know that some 2.3.6 China phones could be rooted using one-clicks and some of the same China phones have had 2.3.4 installed which can be rooted easily. It's just that the latest Chinese-branded STAR i9100 (at the time) came with 2.3.6 and could not make use of the one-clicks.
Xuxion,
I have a similar phone. Model number says HK-i9100. Weird thing though is that it says its running Android 4.1.1. Its a galaxy s2 clone running on MT6573.
Can you send me your guide? I would love to give it a try. Here's my email: [email protected]
The stock rom on here is just horrible.
Thanks.

It's probably different then. Even though they are clones based from the same phone, they are slightly different when it comes to the hardware positioning and features. For example, 9mm earphone jacks can be seen in different places and screen size varies between 4.1-4.3" even though they are based off the sgs2. There are even some with and without GPSs.
For those of you with different brands like the HDC or GT i9100, try browsing the china-phone.ru MTK65x3 forums. You might be in luck if it turns out there's a thread dedicated towards your specific model. I'd try to be more specific, but I can't post links due to insufficient forum privileges.

Hey man, was wondering if you have any idea about adding new languages or even another rom on this phone. "Stock" rom is horrible, and if there is a way to add a simple basic google stock rom on it, with no extra apps and with a slim launcher it would make this phone a bit faster.
Have to say, good screen tho.

Hello everyone, I'm a new guys and i really need your help. Any help will be nice. I have some questions that I cant find the answer anywhere.
Here is my device:
http://www.mobile-phones.cn/hero-h5000-android-capacitive-touchscreen-phone-p-7221.html
And question I want to ask for help:
First is, as I looked at the CPU of those phone (which on the internet advertising), they have 2 core: MT6573 ARM11 650MHz + MT6162 ARM9 350MHz. I found that my device only have one chip MT6573, so what is the MT6212. I'm not sure that my device only run with 1 core and no other core stored inside my device, so whats is this MT6212? Or because up till now my OS only is 2.3.6 (cant find any ROM 4.0 ICS released for my phone) so it cant see the second core and only recognize the one which have faster speed????
Second is, after you guys helped me out by answer 2 questions above, can you help me to find out the latest ROM for this device. I already install a ROM, which developed by my country retailer, but it seems they stopped working to release the final version. Now my ROM is running with Android 2.3.6, can it upgrade to ICS 4.0, and is there any 4.0 ROM released for my device yet?
This is the link to download the ROM which I got in my phone right now. I swear it has no harm, no virus, no trojan and etc. The website is the legal one of my seller agent, you can follow the mediafire link I will post under there.
ROM 2.3.6: http://www.mediafire.com/?bm0eujcl68plk89
Patch for force closed camera recorded and little other bugs: http://www.mediafire.com/?3zbznzlbzo0ozt5
One more time thanks a lot for whom keep reading until now and it will be great if you can help me out.
Thank you 1000 times !!!!!!!!!
Sorry for my bad English!
Regard, me...
Now i found out myself thats my device is H5000 or H5300 (I myself didnt know whats the different).
But I'm still frustrated about the 2 core they said on the advertising. For the truth i searched throughout the internet and look at my device alone but I'm still sure that its is only 1 core. Any answer for this, plz?
And then, can you guys help me find the ROM for my phone. Thx a lot for that!!!
Can some 1 give me any help? Thx a lot!!!!
I will post picture of my phone. So please help me!!!
Don't ask do many times.
Closed!

BUMP. Anybody here please help?
Freaktab has a dev that's been working on the amlogic nextbook and has a slightly modded stock dump in zip format that might work. Depending on the build date of your tab wifi might not work properly.
(was on my phone earlier... a little hard to find and post links from there)
I can't remember if directly linking another forum from here is acceptable or not... so for now this is the best I can offer.
This is a link to a forum Shaunmt starting here at xda for the 8P12 tablet from Nextbook for root and rom, if you do a little digging around at Freaktab from the link he provided you should find the direct link to the root and rom page for the 7P12 tablet.

Hello XDA, I have recently bought a Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon on Straight Talk. Ive been searching the internet for a root, custom recovery, and ROMs but have had zero luck finding anything remotely close to this phone. None of those "all in one" root solutions work either. If anyone has any idea on how to get started with building a root for this phone or knows anyone that has, it would be great to hear from you. I figured someone out there would know something about this Alcatel phone but its not the model i'm working with. The only issue i see right now is that the recovery is locked down hard. The only choices you get are factory reset or wiping the partition and rebooting. No installs from adb or sdcard. So i'm assuming its a "locked recovery". That's about all i have to say if anyone wants to know more about this phone feel free to ask and il be glad to help and hopefully get somewhere with this!

Hi
Tusks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate place. Because there's no dedicated section for your device on XDA, and because this is also a fairly general question, we'll be moving it to the general Android q&a section here:

Good luck!

Thanks for starting this thread. This is a pretty decent phone and I've got Samsung Galaxy Note 3's, S4's and others to compare with. Considering how cheap tracfone is to use I think a lot more people will be shifting to these. With a Quad Core I think it's comparable to at least a Galaxy S3 if not a S4 in many aspects (camera is not as good as S4). Just got one of these myself after thinking a couple days ago that maybe Tracfone had finally added some Android phones with a little more 'Horsepower' than their previous couple. And there it was -- a Quad Core! I've tried a few things so far but no luck with root. Hoping some of the Master Guru's will take a look at this one.

Sorry for a late reply, ive been busy with schooling lately
I'm glad there is some type of base of users for this phone. i agree and hope some of the "masters" will start looking into this phone!
Launcher Layout
So, when i first got this phone, the stock SIMPLE launcher had to go. I tested for about 3 weeks and came across dodol launcher. So far its low ram and buttery smooth on this phone.
Here are some screenshots from how i have it set on my device.
Hopefully this will lead some people in to see how this phone handles and how it looks. Cheers!
Hi I've just bought this phone and am wanting to root it. Have tried all the rooting apk's on the net. Still no root. Does anyone else have this phone and would like to have it rooted? Or if there is a method could you please share. Thanks

Have Alcatel A846L
I have read the following post:
[TUTORIAL][GUIDE][HOW TO] Root Alcatel One Touch Pop S3 5050. This thread seemed closer to my type of phone.
I have rooted several phones previously however they were either one click or not much "programming". I really want root. I am concerned about the "testing procedure" to see if it worked. Can someone confirm that "testing procedure" to see if the root worked is correct?
I don't mean to insult anyone. I'm don't want to brick my phone, a second opinion is always helpful. Thank you so much for your help from a newbie on Alcatel Pop Icon A846L
I would like to root this phone as well. Unfortunately, I have yet to discover a method that works. Are there any updates as to the status of rooting the phone? Surely it isn't impossible.
anyone root this yet?
Still nothing?? Bummer

well then reboot not root
See ms there are a couple similar roots for the Alcatel line. Sadly my S3 is getting old & slow. This seems like a minimal replacement with a Quad Qualcomm cores, no Mtk (knockoff) junk. The bootloader directions are exactly the same too.

Hey guys, I've had temporary root access successfully many times on this device using kingroot and another quick root method that I've forgotten at this point, the problem is that I haven't found a proper method to unlock the bootloader on this device so the device does not hold root upon reboot
Try downloading kingoroot from kingoapp.com,i hope it works for you coz it works for me
Try using Kingo Root. I just tried it and it worked on the A846L

What version do you have? I have a 5022E, Really nothing all around the web just for 5022D a recovery and a custom rom based on zenfone go. I make a custom recovery ported and a rom ported too based on RR (wash completely interface with CM theme engine and other tweaks) and maybe more in the way, I didn`t upload cause don´t see many users of this specific model. Watch differences between 5022E (mt6580, 1GB ram, 8GB storage) and your model and tell me, maybe can help you

Thanks a lot I appreciate your response.
You are correct when you said there really nothing around the web just for 5022D.
I don't really see much difference between the 5022D and 5022E. I think your ported rom will work on mine too.
Or what do you think?
I'll give it a go. As I have downloaded the official firmware for my 5022D. Guidance is all I can say I need now.
Thanks again
