I have Spice MI-350 Mobile phone. The phone is on Android 2.3.3
BasebandMP.V1.F9.P3, 2011/08/23
SOFT BUILD NO: SPICE_MI-350_IND_VER1.5 BUILD INFO 110901_1144
I tried to root MI-350 through Gingerbreak 1.2 and also Z4Root ( During GB and Z4Root installation, I put the APK file in SD root and then installing from there; then after installation, went to the icon and run the software).
In case of Gingerbreak, Gingerbreak went into infinite loop and ultimately after 45 minutes, I have to stop and start the phone.
In case of Z4Root, during 'Acquiring Seell' process, the process got automatically closed i.e. Z4Root went back to normal screen.
On checking, I found that Rooting did not happen. I tried this multple time to ensure that this is not one off scenario.
Can anyone help on suggesting what can be done or where I have gone wrong?
Not able to load titanium back-up for this.

No rooting till now

HI Addadutta
i am facing the same problem. tried both above method and met with same result. i think that we need root for this phone as it has many bloatware which are not required and i think we can increase the cpu to 800 .
if you found any solution please let me know and share here.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
have you guys tried super one click? z4root is not as strong as it always was nowadays and superoneclick still seems to do the trick for every android phone i've encountered.
Rooted Finally !!!
folks
after 3-4 days of struggle i rooted my brand new spice MI 350. Ah..the long process first led me to spice website which didnt had proper USB drivers. from there i went to viewsonic v350 drivers because they are same .
finally some Chinese forum told me about Lenovo Lephone A60 and bingo thats the original phone re branded as spice mi 350.
to cut a long story short please visit following link and download a60 tools
http://forum.hotmid.com/discussion/...60-install-google-market-and-gmail-account/p1
1, Use the "A60-tools-v2" to root your Lenovo A60;
a, Double click the open the "A60-tools-v2";
b, Holding down the "volume -" and "Menu" keys, while power on the phone, until the first picture display;
c, Connect the phone to the computer via USB cable;
d, Input "1" and enter in the computer;
e, After that, enter and reboot the phone.
and voila thats all guys.
to download a60 drivers please visit

any time mate.
now i had spent some quality time with the device.. there are some things that i observed.
the device is actually faster than most of the android device in this range ( sub 160$) but its screen is no where near to perfection.
setcpu is not working ( i think that we have to get rid of spice rom which is pain in the a$$)
if you want to remove spice bloatware please use titanium backup which is free.
Noled is not working properly, i think that's because of kernel. please use bubble buzz which is an alternative to it. at least it is working.
please share your ideas and apps which are working perfectly. in future we can start sub forum in our beloved xda forum.

Intersting situation for me also.
Consider that I have phone number in contact as 099-99-999999. If the call is coming from +91 99-99-999999, name of the contact is not getting detected. It has become a big mess for me.
Tried a factory restore, but this is taking me to original Lenovo ROM.
Somehow I am not able to get the drivers again, having problem downloading from Chinese site. By any chance, do you have Win& 32Bit driver downloaded?

I think for the contact problem, please switch your language from English US to English UK
for drivers you have to go the Chinese forum. as they are more than 11mb which are not allowed to post in xda.

thanks ankjain for all the info and effort -
ive jut got my MI 350 and fine all the bloatware disturbing, i am going to go thru all your links and suggestions, however i am new to android as i was using a windows phone previously - the GSMART i120 and found windows to be very efficient in updating and installing and it worked like a charm with the sbp shell - am hoping my android experience will be comparable at the least.
hi guys
Hey friends,
I have just purchased this phone over the weekend, and it was only here where i could atleast get some info abt this cell... i guess we are just few bunch of ppl owning this phone.
I am very new to andriod and all this, hence trying to understand and get hold off all the you guys discussing.
My major concers if can be helped...
It feels its a bit slow - will rooting help?
Battery discharge very soon??
when ever i turn Navigation on it shows as Google Maps Navigation not yet avalable in this location (i am in Mumbai).
Thanks a lot for all the support.

welcome hemayur
even i have just bought the phone - although i dont feel the phone is too slow i am a little irritated by the pre installed crap which keeps giving me notifications. whereas i am able to turn off notification in a couple of apps, a few - particularly bollywoodji keeps harassing me as there is no option to turn it off. ( my windows mobile was so userfriendly in installing/uninstalling programs - but since i am a noob in regards to android i am hoping my opinion will change )
i have the same message in google maps. i think we need a better map app for india - ill do a search later
or maybe ankjain can help us - seems he has quite a bit of experience with mi 350 and android.

There was more lag when i used an live wall paper and the wall paper took almost 5 sec to come hence i feel a bit lag..... my nokia e63 used to also lag but the reason posting here is to find out for a soloution.......

The lag is because of the apps runing in back ground use the free ram optimizer by netquin
As fr whts app the lag was seen in samsung galaxy too this phone has abetter ram and a better processor this app used to hang my cousins samsung so its a app. Problem ithink i use a iphone 4 the spice is used by my father so icant tell u the exat reason
More info
friends welcome to Spice MI 350
here are some pieces of information to share
1 the chip set of our spice MI 350 is from mediatek corporation which is in china and it is a major vendor in china. the original manufacturer of this phone is Lenovo ( the same company which is selling lenovo laptops)
2 the chip set is MT6573 which is clocked to 670 Mhz but somehow lenovo and spice both says that it is 650 Mhz. any way the processor is not bad at all in fact even xperia w8 and my other love HTC wildfire were clocked to 600 Mhz and 528 Mhz respectively.
3 the bloatware of spice is simply killing RAM and ROM. i would strongly advice everyone to kindly root your phone and use titanium backup and remove all the unnecessary crap apps.
4 you will notice the lag of launcher, it is because every time when you hit home button, the launcher restart itself and build icons of the widgets and apps again and again. to remove this problem don't use unnecessary widgets
5 the major compromise is RAM which is just 256 mb and more often than not is really not sufficient enough .
6 Camera is just average since it lacks auto focus so bar code scanner apps are not working properly; Red Laser is an app which works partially sometimes .
7 please share your apps which you think are working properly and meanwhile we will try to create sub forum for lenovo A60 which will automatically cover spice MI 350
8 for those who are concerned with battery , my advice is root your phone as reported in chinese and russian forums and even my own conclusion the battery is above average. simply goes for 2 days easily.
please share your thoughts here so that we can make this device better .
regards
ankjain
PS you can also pm me for any specific need or question.

Dear,
I too brought Spice Mi-350 yesterday.
This is my first android device.
There were lot of annoying app pre installed.
And when searched i came across this site and your post.
You have mentioned that you were able to successfully root your mobile.
I checked out the web page links posted above, even went through the Russian site. But i am little afraid of the task, since the uploaded files could be
1. older version than what is installed.
2. could change the network and language to their location.
3. AND I COULD BRICK MY PHONE!?
Hence can you kindly help me about the
1. steps you followed to do so.
2. the resources to complete this task.
3. What will this change in my phone?
4. What will i loose and gain?
5. what should i be careful about?
Also please clarify the above mentioned three doubts.
Thanks in advance.
Well I'm getting an Alcatel Pop 8 tablet soon due to the price, and I used my friends and was quite happy. Now, how would I go about rooting the tablet? As I have not been able to find any guides?

Searching ... google ... "kingoapp" ... works ...
So I had a lg g Stylo and it got broken over the weekend so I had to do a quick buy and didn't have a lot of cash. Walmart had a couple unlocked phones within my price range and without being able to do much research I picked up a Alcatel one touch allura I believe it's called......well I can't find hardly anything on this phone. When you google it the fierce and fierce xl pop up. I downloaded the XDA app for easier responses and it has the device recognition and when it does its thing it's showing up as the idol 3 but the only 2 Alcatel phones on it are the idol 3 and 4. Now to the reason I'm here. I would like to root this phone which I've done and then when I start looking into Roms I can't find any which I find a little hard to believe because for the $90 I paid for this phone I'm a little upset I didn't buy this or one similar 7-8 months ago when i paid over $100 for my lg so am I able to use the idol 3 Roms? Or the fierce? Without running into problems? Also this would be my first experience with the whole rooting an Android any help will be greatly appreciated
PS. I'm not sure if it's 50560 or 5056o.

Stock firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-alcatel-one-touch-fierce-xl-5054-t3385169
Once you get root on this phone (using KingRoot) it is important to immediately download and install Super-Sume Pro from the play store, then you can get the damn KingRoot spyware off of the phone!

Me, too. If anyone downloaded and hung onto a copy of any of the ROMs listed in the linked thread (I'm really looking for the 5056O for myself, but hope to include all of the Alcatel ROMs in that shared space), please PM me for an upload link.
My 5056O is in soft brick, please it is necessary to get the factory rom to be able to fix it since I try to connect it by adb to install a backup that I have in my pc but it tells me that my computer is not authorized and I can not access the recovery. :crying:
A quick bump to remind folks we're still looking for this ROM...

Anyhow I've tried Kingroot and towel root, both say unsupported..
Was wondering If anyone had any ideas??

By taping about phone the required amount of tines to become developer.
Developer options then show on the main settings.
In there is a switch to unlock bootloader per the manufacturer.
From there you could work your magic, but I highly doubt any of these gurus would be making a custom rom for this 30 U.S.dollar prepaid device
Given that this particular model is relatively cheap, a great deal for the money and is now the standard issue phone for millions of SafeLink (Obama Phone) subscribers in the U.S., I'm surprised is hasn't received more support from the rooting community personally.
I am also trying to figure out how to root this phone...
i didn't want to start trying just anything.
anyone get this phone rooted ?
I am also looking into it. I am going to purchase a new phone next month and I want to use this one as an MP3 player for my car. If I have any luck, I will be sure to post.

I checked mine (same firmware level, v6f29-ut90) and it does have an "OEM Unlocking" switch (currently ON) under Developer Options. I'm using mine as a PDA/notepad, have never activated it as a phone (although it works fine with Google Hangouts). The major problem is it won't even check for firmware updates over WiFi.
I want this phone rooted too so I can make complete backups with Titanium Backup.
same as I, need to unlock it for a customer.....but practically failed to have it rooted!
Any luck for root? I am about to click return.
I tried Kingroot as well and it didn't work.
Wow i have looked every where for a root solution and haven't found a single one. This phone is useless

I too would like root!! This is an activated backup phone we have. Surprised there's no development. It's up to us for this development.
No one working on root?
Did you guys give up on rooting this phone or just forgot to tell everyone how to. I also have this phone and would like to root it. Why for gaming purposes, its small and goes perfect with my gamepad(Bluetooth controller). Keymappers require root though. Hope to get it rooted soon or the gamepad will become another useless thing bought online.:fingers-crossed:
Nope gave up. Buy something with better support.
Since I can find no support for these phones anywhere on the internet, I am creating this thread here in hopes of answering any questions anyone might have on this phone to the best of my abilities.
Important: These phones show fake RAM, Storage, Signal, and CPU. To reset this, use either ADB or Terminal Emulator, go into a shell and use the following command "am start -n com.android.ext.instruction/com.android.ext.instruction.DefaultValueActivity" without quotes. It will open the hidden settings. Note: Phone will require reboot, and will look like factory reset, however, all your data is still there.
All in all, it's not a bad starter phone. For someone who is just getting into smartphones, or coming from an earlier gen phone, it is perfect.
If you are looking at buying one of these phones, please read this thread first, it will provide some helpful insight to some of the issues you might have with these phones.
If you are buying one of these phones in hopes of rooting it, or a custom ROM, I would suggest not to buy it. I have not been able to successfully root it myself, and there's nobody else who has posted anything, anywhere about it.
Problems
Fingerprint Sensor - It will appear to work, but any finger can unlock it, no way to fix this, as the hardware is fake.
Heart Rate Monitor - Fake as well.
Bixby Button - Bixby does not come on this phone, just a knock off. The button works, bringing you to "Briefing" which just has a few shortcuts to other apps.
"Curved" screen - The screen is curved as you'd expect if you've had or seen an S7 Edge or S8. The glass is simply curved on the edges, giving it a curved look. However, what it does have is a pretty nice edge slide out feature as the S8 has.

A few have complained about slow boot times for any clone phone, however, I do not notice much difference in the time this takes to boot and my old S7 Edge.
I will update this with important information as I see fit.

I also have the S8 clone, and while there isn't much information about the phone, I was able to gain root access using KingRoot. The phone becomes a million times more fun once you have root, enjoy!
I tried KingRoot and it didn't work for my goophone s8. Maybe they will find a root solution though.

How many times did you try KingRoot? Sometimes you have to try more than once.

I tried several times. At first it ran through several root strategies, but now when I try it says no root available, root requested.

If that's not working, download KingoRoot and run it once. It'll reboot the phone during the process, and the root won't go through, but after running KingoRoot with no success, go back into KingRoot, and try to root the phone one more time. If it still won't work, then I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Nope didn't work. Thanks for the help though. Maybe king root will find the root eventually. I'll keep trying.
I can only run kingoroot once? Would it have told me whether it worked or not or just reboot?
Thanks,

You can run KingoRoot as many times as you want, but it doesn't ever work, at least in my case. All it ever does is reboot the phone, and afterwards, you'll still have no root.
Where can I download the stock firmware for this phone? I can't seem to find the correct files anywhere. BTW I was able to get root with Kingroot after running it 3-4 times. I was not able to replace Kinguser with Supersu no matter what I did but I did have root and could use a handful of my root apps until I bricked it. :-/
Maybe someone here can help me. I got my S8 plus about a week ago and my sim card is not working in the phone .. any ideas how to fix this problem?

Just an update. After begging the manufacturer for months they finally uploaded the stock firmware and sent me the link. Can be flashed with SPFlash Tool. I was able to use it to unbrick mine. Hope this can help someone else that may need it.

Since I can find no support for these phones anywhere on the internet, I am creating this thread here in hopes of answering any questions anyone might have on this phone to the best of my abilities.
Important: These phones show fake RAM, Storage, Signal, and CPU. To reset this, use either ADB or Terminal Emulator, go into a shell and use the following command "am start -n com.android.ext.instruction/com.android.ext.instruction.DefaultValueActivity" without quotes. It will open the hidden settings. Note: Phone will require reboot, and will look like factory reset, however, all your data is still there.
All in all, it's not a bad starter phone. For someone who is just getting into smartphones, or coming from an earlier gen phone, it is perfect.
If you are looking at buying one of these phones, please read this thread first, it will provide some helpful insight to some of the issues you might have with these phones.
If you are buying one of these phones in hopes of rooting it, or a custom ROM, I would suggest not to buy it. I have not been able to successfully root it myself, and there's nobody else who has posted anything, anywhere about it.
Problems
Fingerprint Sensor - It will appear to work, but any finger can unlock it, no way to fix this, as the hardware is fake.
Heart Rate Monitor - Fake as well.
Bixby Button - Bixby does not come on this phone, just a knock off. The button works, bringing you to "Briefing" which just has a few shortcuts to other apps.
"Curved" screen - The screen is curved as you'd expect if you've had or seen an S7 Edge or S8. The glass is simply curved on the edges, giving it a curved look. However, what it does have is a pretty nice edge slide out feature as the S8 has.
Specifications (real)
MTK6592 1.7 Ghz Octa-Core CPU
1 GB RAM
5.6" or 5.8" Screen Size
8.0 Megapixel Rear Camera
3.0 Megapixel Front Camera
3G Capable - WCDMA:850/2100MHz, 2G - GSM: 850MHz/900MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz
WiFi 802.11B/G,GPRS/3G
Bluetooth Bluetooth 3.0 Version
FM Radio
GPS Builtin GPSA-GPS
Headphone/Microphone Port
USB C Port - Charging and Data (the original cord does NOT support data, only had luck with genuine Samsung cord - came from old Note 7)
2800 mAh Battery, Non-Removeable
A few have complained about slow boot times for any clone phone, however, I do not notice much difference in the time this takes to boot and my old S7 Edge.
I will update this with important information as I see fit.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to make a reply.

Hello everyone thanks for this post I have the same phone S8 clone and I want to root it but it's impossible to do with all the tools I tried kingroot and all that follows now if you like you can help me that would be great thank you, the problem is that I want to split the memory card with the phone because the internal memory of the phone does not allow me to install all my aplication
Maybe someone can help. Initially after powering on my device I am unable to recieve phone calls but I am able to download apps from the play store. However after a restart I am then able to get calls but unable to download apps. I am just getting error:0. I have the iPhone X
Hello All,
Please help. Does anyone know the code for these Goophone S8 clones for my scenario?
I am locked out of this model Goophone s8 because of a message that says; "Please enter the Privacey Protection Password to unlock".
Does anyone know if I have to flash a new ROM to get around this problem?
Or since the phone is legitimately mine and not stolen, is there someone here in the USA I can contact to get the "Password" (the kepad is only numbers) so i doubt it is a "word" but that's neither here nor there.
Please hElP!!!!!
How to get my "Privacy Protection Password"?

I notice they post the same link for the Goophone S8 PLUS.
Do you think the same firmware runs on BOTH goophones? Because I have the Goophone S8
The name on the firmware in the link says Goophone S8Plus
Please advise.. over,
