Everything I write here is originally from lenovoforum.net (http://www.lenovohome.net/thread-161530-1-1.html) so every credit goes to them and also Google Translate, who helped me to understand that Chinese stuff
1) So, first you have to download their package. Because it's a very slow connection, I'll offer it via my Dropbox. Please, can someone upload it on another hoster? This would be great, thanks. Anyway, the download link is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ilxyuc9gimzpa0q/联想K900纯净版含google谷歌服务框架版已root线刷包 (1).rar PW for unpacking: www.lenovohome.net
2) You have to install the things which you can find in one of the folders in this order: First IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.2.0 (you may try to install it with compatibility mode Windwos XP, worked for me), then iSocUSB-Driver-setup-1.0. 2.exe (during this process it will tell you, that you have to plug in your phone and turn it off with holding the power button for longer than 10 seconds and then turn it on again). If you suceed you will see that it installs a new driver "Colvertrail". At last, you may install ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.2.exe.
3) Now let's prepare the ManufacturingFlashTool for flashing our K900.
I don't know how to put screenshots in here. So I just tell you: Go to settings and put in this values: SOC devices: VID: 8086, PID: 09EE / Android Devices: VID: 8087, PID: 09ef
Check "Override". You'll find a screenshot of the settings in one of the Chinese Word files in the download folder
4) Now you can open a file in ManufacturingFlashTool and you'll open the xml-File, which is in the Firmware-Folder (calles "flash-DVT3-CPU-sign")
5) Now the program is ready to flash and says: "waiting for device". So this is what you have to do: Power off your K900 with holding the power button for 11 seconds. It may be black now but it is running! Plug the phone in and now it should detect it and automatically begin to flash. Wait until it's100%. Sometimes it reboots and it says "waiting for device" but it will finish.
6) When you have completed 100%, you may detach the phone and power it on. It may take a few minutes for the first time but now you'll have Google Apps
7) How to get ROOT: Go to superuser and hit the settings button in the right upper corner. Set "security" "Automatic response" to "allow". No you cann go back in the superuser app and hit "update", it should do a root now. For a better x86-compatible Root Explorer, you can install the apk in the attachement
Please excuse my English. Maybe somebody can write a better Guide with pictures? But I know you wanted it fast By the way: If you can't execute the exe-Files, try to pack them into a new folder because Windwos seems to have problems with the folders with Chinese signs.

I'm here for help you, and yes I bought K900
Here is the international .inb file to flash.
Part One: How flash international version:
1. create SDFUSE folder in the / of sdcard.
2. insert inb file there
3. go to fastboot mode (Vol+ + Power) and choose sdfuseupdate
4. done.
you'll get official international 47 rom (ROW region). It has google apps, it has play store.
INB file is here:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!xNdywAJA!AFbE_HikuoFODLpoc1j7Yg
Part Two:
I made HEX research and separated files from INB files. You'll not find those files in the internet, I didn't find it. So, I decided to research .inb
For debug, you can find them here:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!1YE1xDxC!IflBj13Im1549nu0feBvnw
Part Three:
I made root in the international 47 ROM.
how to?
1. download this system.img.gz:
2. go to fastboot mode (make sure you flashed 47 INB file already).
3. install manufacturing tool, all tools can be found here. https://mega.co.nz/#F!0UlDnLLR!IuQdqFqT-oIXtvRlQNtLBw Find fastboot in the program files folder, you'll need this fastboot.exe tool for intel phone.
4. use cmd,
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img.gz
by using those commands you re-flash system.img.gz that I made, it includes root (su library) and superuser. Superuser doesn't respond when need to allow or reject root, so you need to go and manually allow root rights in superuser for any application.
system img rooted: https://mega.co.nz/#F!MZ0SXRIT!R1ZAawbEjKcRm3ZXFJ0siA
Root was made by me, you'll not find this info in other sites. I write this info on xda first time.
Enjoy!
do not brick your phones, I'm not responsible if something you do wrong, but I tested and it works fine at my K900.

Yes.
But I found one more interesting thing. First time I flashed .inb file after chinese rom, but now I found full pack of fastboot files and flashed it (same 47 rom).
https://mega.co.nz/#F!IJF2hLYI!GpcLinegjjcRM6puQa0GXg
Wonder, but I have less heat releasing from the phone on the load of CPU.
I don't know why.
I recommend to flash full fastboot pack first, then boot and then step 4 - root.

These are different but efficient.... like u see Dual core intel soc in this k900 matches performance of Octa core Samsung galaxy S4 ... there is difference of 6 cores and still it matches that performance.... desktops are still different class though... mobile devices cant score that kinda performance because of size of chip... Laptops have a powerful and bigger chip

wait so it is only a 2g if i use tmobile? It goes up to 3g but why isn't it so it can be used on 4g network? This phone isn't worth nothing if data isn't quick.
It was rumooured to come on 10th mat for under 25 k..
Still not arrived and priced around 536$ 30k...
Now i dont think i would buy that ...

I just ordered one from China, so I'll find out if it works with T-Mobile. Intel's modem chip definitely supports UMTS 850/900/1900/2100. But if for some bizarre reason it's blocked by Lenovo, it should work at least on AT&T's 2100.
But it appears that it probably should work with T-Mobile as well. See this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2286627

I bought one from China. Its an awesome device so far. Will be posting an unboxing on youtube later today. The part that sucks right now is no Google Play. I've just been sideloading my apps, but no google apps. I am trying to find information on how to root it. So far I haven't found anything. Please chime in if you have any info on that.

Hi all devs and members (ps.my first post)
As the title suggests, I need help rooting a Chinese Phone. Amoi n820
The device hardware is pretty awesome for the price, but I have problems
installing gApps as they are blocked on the phone.
I have attempted to root using Unlock Root "its supported?" but unsuccessful.
I have also been stalking Chinese forums
http://bbs.amoi.com.cn/viewthread.php?tid=4028
and
http://products.mobileuncle.com/thread-157352-1-2.html
but have failed to root the device
I believe that the main problem is that the phone driver is not being properly installed.(ps tried the usb fix as prescribed in the 2nd link).
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Cheers
did you manage to do it....?
Found this in a german forum:
http://translate.google.de/translat...-Tutorials-Anleitungen&highlight=n820&act=url
Thanks, holybabel.
Using this it took me less than 10 minutes to root the N820 after receiving it.
So far, the only downside I've found is that you loose the back camera (the button for switching between front/back camera is missing, and the front camera is the default).

0) Back up all data on cellphone, charge it to at least 60% battery, do not connect it to the PC yet, and TURN IT OFF. Plug in USB end of the USB - micro-USB cable into the PC.
1) Unpack the RAR package
2) Rename directory to remove all Chinese characters
3) Unpack the N820_V6.0_ROOT_GMS.rar file (unpacks to N820_V6.0_ROOT_GMS).
4) Go into the 'USB驱动' directory, unzip and install the USB VCOM driver.
5) Go into the '刷机工具' directory and double-click on the Flash_tool.exe file. Click on "Scatter-loading" and point to the N820_V6.0_ROOT_GMS\MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt.
6) Hit F8 or click on 'Firmware -> Upgrade'.
7) Hold down the Volume Down button and connect the phone to the PC. The button can be released when the red bar starts moving.
8) After "Firmware Upgraded" window shows, unplug phone, reboot, install and enjoy.

Oh come on the settings button should be global for android despite the chinese.
Clicking on that you get the menu where the small A icon is for the language and then the first choice is the language change. English should be visible in the list there (hopefully)

@Others: I have Amoi N821 since last week and I'm not sure which ROM/archive I should use to root and have Play Store. Can I use N820 files, or is there similar package for N821? Current system says "Android version: 4.0.4; Build number N821_V2.1". I suppose the update package is different for N821, so if anybody knows about such, the link would be highly appreciated!
After I got the new ROM and changed the language in english I still got the Root app in chinesse
What can I do ?

N820 ROM on N821 will screw display up. I've managed to root it and install google apps/market. If anyone wants, I can write up a nice howto. So far I've written a small review of it on my blog: dfourn.com
Hi,
I first tried the method below:
Is someone trying to develop a Custom ROM for the Huawei Ascend G600 (U8950D)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943003
But the phones are not just different band versions, as mentioned in post 58 of the thread above. The T8950 is not kernal compatible with the U8950D:
http://www.jetdroid.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=8383
Indeed, the T8950 is equipped with MTK6517 dual-core processor, the MT6517 and MT6577 are the same, A9 architecture 40nm processor, clock ed speed is 1.0Ghz.
http://defendgun.com/2013/01/22/mobile-customized-huawei-glory-t8950-listed-price-at-261/
I don't pretend to have any knowledge about rooting phones, I just was able to find the correct information on the web. I spend two weeks figuring this out. So I hope I can save somebody else his time with this information.
this is how I did it.
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
--------------------------------------------------
the bootloader of the T8950 is not locked, so it does not need to be unlocked. Allight, step one done!
INSTALLING THE CMW CUSTOM RECOVERY TOOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T8950 does indeed not have a fastboot mode. the CWM custom recovery can be installed by flashing the ROM using the Flash tool of Mediatek
tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.htmlthe correct files to use in the tutorial can be found here:
- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1224.01 --> http://www.mediafire.com/?c8lr368ceaqk7tv
- MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers --> http://www.mediafire.com/?h0ytkyagj0kf89u
if all went well, you should have a different recovery screen now.
ROOTING
-----------
Tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/complete-guide-to-clockworkmod-recovery.html
The fileto be used is:
- RootT8950.zip --> http://www.mediafire.com/?je47wz2ozjr7oth
After the update is finished, reboot . Now, you should see Superuser in your Huawei T8950 app list. You can double check if you have root, using the "got root?" app.-->https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.island51.gotroot
INSTALLING THE GOOGLE SERVICES
----------------------------------------------------------
Since the the CWM custom recovery tool is installed now and the phone is rooted, it's very simple to add the google services to the phone. I used the GAPPS of Cyanogen. You can find them on many places, e.g.
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/gapps-cyanogen/
choose the right version, most likely your T8950 will have android ICS 4.0.4
istallation is the same as installing the rooting ROM

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
I can not say how glad I am that you wrote this tutorial. It seems that this is actually the only tutorial on how to truly unlock the T8950 (at least for non russian-speakers )
Still, I'd have some questions:
How do you install the VCOM driver? I downloaded it, but I can only find .inf files.. How do you install them?
Did you flash the whole ROM or just a part of it, as shown in the tutorial? And what exactly happens when you flash the ROM? Are you able to boot afterwards? It seems to just install CWM - right?
How do you apply the update RootT8950.zip?
Help would be appreciated a lot, since you seem to be the only one who knows how to properly do it
Oh and btw: did everything work for you after flashing the ROM? Or did you encounter any errors?
Cheers,
amannn
Hi, it was indeed not so easy to collect these bits and pieces together
here an answer to your questions
1.
The .inf files are the drivers. There are two ways to install the drivers. One way is to right click on the .inf file and choose "Install". The other way is to start the process with SP Flash Tool and as soon as you plug in the phone a new device will be detected and you have the choice to install the drivers.
Also, it is very important to make sure that you click "Download" first before you connect the device. Actually there is a trick, below the sp flash tool, you will see something that says "USB". Click "Download" and wait for the "USB" to become "Searching". Once it is "searching" then connect the USB. SP-Flashtool should be able to capture it before it disconnects itself again.
2.
yes, you only flash a part of the ROM, so you don't need to have all the files in the SP Flash Tool. Only the ones mentioned in the tutorial. Your phone will boot normal, nothing will be changed yet. But now you will have the CWM custom recovery when you start up in recovery mode.
3.
the linked tutorial is quite clear. Let me know if you cannot reach the page or you encounter a problem.

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
Thank you very much again for your detailed explanation!
So i think I've installed CWM recovery successful. Therefore, I'm now working on the rooting part.
The RootT8950.zip file needs to be applied, using the "choose zip from sdcard" option from CWM recovery right? When I choose that option, I encounter the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/". Also when I'm trying to create a backup, it says "Can't mount backup path.". So it seems that there is a problem with accessing the sdcard. I then tried the "mount /sdcard" option, but it also says "Error mounting /sdcard".
Did you have any problem like that? When my phone is booted up, there is no problem with accessing the sd card... Or is there a option how I can check if the sd card is inserted correctly? I guess it's internal and therefore impossible to even remove it..
Your help would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance and best wishes,
amannn
EDIT: I was now able to upload the update with an external micro sd. Therefore everything works so far - thanks again

Hi sieger007,
It can be a little bit tricky to install the drivers, since it are .inf files only. But these are the driver files

After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.
In order to root you first need to install a custom recovery. In this case it is CWM.
hope this helps
still stuck in driver hell
thanks for your help . I had a previous Chinese MTK (MT6575 ARM A9 cortex ) phone , whose ADB drivers successfully installed when I installed the SDK .
Now this one is MTK6517 ARM A5 Cortex. and none of the methods ( #1 or #2 ) help, in those drivers being recognized.
By method #1 : Right click install - It maybe just copying the driver file to system folder and then on windows would auto detect it when the device is inserted -assuming there is a match .
Method # 2 : Uses the new h/w found dialogue . Not sure if invoking sp_tool is related anyways in invoking that dialogue . It shows up anyways - soon as you plug in the phone .
I could not get the driver files in with the blogspot password to be recognized . Kept giving me "specified location. does not contain info about your h/w msg"
I have the EXACT same problem with ALL drivers hunted on the net , that say MTK driver. Some files say MTK65xx some say MTK_USB_Driver etc.
the h/w ID's and instance IDs associated with the devices are attached .
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
Now the driver.inf file did have one ray of hope with this mention ..wonder if that'd make it compatible with a modified inf file.
But I am lost about HOW to add the h/w ID info ( format and what specific data to add ) to the inf file -most data is of the form VID_eXXX something in that file ( see below quote )
MT6516 USB VCOM drivers\readme.txt
Code:
3. Customers can customize usb2ser_XXX.inf file.
There is a string in the file:
MTK6218 = "USB Modem Driver"
You can modify it for your product name, for example:
MTK6218 = "MY_PRODUCT Modem Driver"
The other perplexing thing is that there are 3 Devices that show up under XP device manager. I managed to get one of em installed as device "android phone" with driver "android ADB interface" from Google and can possibly manage to get ALL of em installed the same way since those device ID's are close ( the last '1' becomes 2 and 3 respectively ) in this
Code:
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
After pushing all these device ID's as "android ADB interface" - and attempting to root- the android rooting s/w's will NOT work at the identification step , erring out with "ADP device not found "- conclusively indicating that those drivers probably did not work well and I ought to look around for better ones - something I am trying to address by this thread.
Lastly - sp_tool when you start it - it will ask for scatter file. The scatter file out there is for MTK6577 (vs my model 6517 ) . If I choose that file - it gives me a warning - yes it out - and click download - it will then just freeze doing nothing
after some more G-mining ( Google) - i found out that I have to stick my VID in that hardware ID's and create an adb_usb.ini file to get the device recognized. Will update on happened next

That's why I stay away from these little brands. It's very difficult to find good information for it.

ADB driver issue
> adb_usb.ini needed oXXXX as device ID . Where XXXX is the ID that shows up on Device manager. This is detailed here
http://blog.fh-kaernten.at/wehr/?p=1182
after that there will be 2 yellow marks for the rest of the unknowns in device manager. for this you have to modify the .inf file to include the entire h/w ID strings. I guess that makes just about any driver get along with anyone unknown - so here I am not sure if showing them as the such h/w by changing the driver files - gives them the actual intended functionality or all it does it just makes the device manager look clean without yellow marks. Maybe someone could help expand the talk here
[
Code:
android_winusb.inf
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_01
/*ADDED*/
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_02
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_03
So with that - I get 1 ADB interface and 3 devices show up under "com and LPT" - alright that completes the drivers
ROOTING
I found this Chinese rooting program Vroot . I still have'nt figured out what exactly it means but it looks like it DID root that sucker after all. I tested with one app - root checker - got an dialogue in Chinese , asking me whether to give or not and I think I said Y but that app still does not say I have root. Its probably the apps thats at fault because I can get Linked2SD do ALL the stuff it would be doing running as root - .e.g force move programs to SD to free up space etc.
If someone out there can make English out of that and tell me if its mine to keep or leased out ( trial ) - that'd be damn nice !!!

3G not accessible
Hi again,
so I've been struggling with another issue.
Somehow my T8950 isn't capable of connecting to the 3G network of my carrier. When I search for networks, only the 2G networks are being found.
Does anybody have a clue why that is and how to solve that problem? My carrier is from Austria and is called "tele.ring" which is operated by T-Mobile.
I'd really appreciate your help, since 2G is reaaally slow for data connections
EDIT: I just tried allowing my phone only to connect to 3G networks by using the Network app from Philipp Mangelow (which shows the same menu as if you dial *#*#4636#*#* as i just found out). This results into no 3G networks being found at all.. I thought maybe the problem occurs because I'm always connected in roaming mode. As I bought the phone in China, it seems to believe that i need to be in roaming mode to connect to my local carrier. However, I have a local SIM-card, so this is somewhat weird..
EDIT 2: So after some googling I've found out that China has the TD-SCDMA radio interface for 3G (at least China Mobile, and that's from where I've bought the phone), but in europe it's W-CDMA.. Remains the question how to change that (if possible at all)..
EDIT 3: So I've wrote an email to Huawei about the issue, and that's the reply:
Sorry that T8950 doesn’t support the W-CDMA mode.
Below please kindly check the frequence band of T8950 for your reference.
• GSM/EDGE：900/1800/1900MHz
• TD-SCDMA：A frequency（2010-2025MHz）/F frequency（1880-1920MHz)
So that means that there is nothing i can do about it?
Thanks and all the best,

Mmmmh, ok – that's what i thought too.
Thank you very much anyway for your response TeTTiweTTi!
The KIII I got is now working very well. Hardware is good but the remote control is very week. I use an Air Keyboard anyway (pic below).
My main use is Kodi Video. I use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video too. I sideloaded each of those. The Kodi Version 15.2 installed with the box is 'special' and steers you to pay services and removes and limits some addons. A sideload of Kodi Jarvis 16.x failed and you have to uninstall Kodi 15.2 first. If you want to clone a different box, make an XBMC backup and restore. Were I to do it again, I would likely install SPMC Kodi Forkhttp://spmc.semperpax.com/ You can keep the stock 15.2 and run SPMC at the same time.
I didn't like the launcher and chose Nova Prime. Long press on the left mouse key or menu button will behave like screen press on phone.
Without a recovery or recovery image, I am reluctant to make many changes to /system. If I make a mistake, I don't know how to recover and vendor has not been responsive to pointing me to recovery image.
The Settings App is a pain. I used Quick ShortShortCutMaker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut to make shortcut to the AOSP settings app.
I didn't like the unknown to me Supersu installed. I installed a more standard Supersu and then I was able to get to the settings and permissions for Supersu. Were I to do it again, I'd try QuickShortCutMaker to find a shortcut to the installed SuperSu.
Some apps, i.e. Titanium Backup did not fit the screen properly and the overflow menu was not accessible. Menu on remote works. Editing build.prop and putting qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the last line solved the menu over flow problems.
You can reboot into stock recovery with ADB over WiFi.
KIII S905 2GB/16GB Android v5.1.1 TV Box from ebay
I bought a KIII S905 2GB/16GB Android v5.1.1 TV Box from ebay also. It is working okay for the most part but I don't like the watered down settings app menus that came installed with it. I too am looking for a backup firmware image that will work on this box should it ever get corrupted and I have to reload from scratch. The specs on this box I have seem impressive for the $67 I paid for it on ebay (from China seller)... but there are no firmware update instructions or availability that I am aware of. It has an online OTA update app but it always times out and says failed to connect to server or some such message. I don't know if there will be future support on future OS updates or not for these boxes... so starting to research other alternative firmwares that can load on these boxes and work just in case of emergency should I ever corrupt the system and have to rebuild from scratch. I am surprised that there is no interest in these KIII boxes on the forums so far. Is it too new to catch on?
Mine has dual Wi-Fi antennas on it and supports 802.11AC Wi-Fi plus has gigabit LAN, 2GB and 16GB RAM and storage, S905 CPU. 4 USB ports, 1 TF card slot. Optical output jack, and all the standard goodies on most boxes. Seems loaded and a good buy for about $67. It is working just fine but trying to find out if these boxes have support from alternative sources.

I just wanted to point out that the above previous post was from me, infobits... I don't know why the XDA forums forced me to login with a google account id when trying to use Internet Explorer 11... the XDA forum pages do not display properly on IE11 and are all whacky. They display fine using the new MS Edge browser and Chrome... but not IE11. So I could not logon with my long time member userid of infobits. I wound up logging in as a new member with my Google userid. oh well.
Please help
Thanks for the info.
I got this box 3 days ago and it's been a real pain to deal with.
When I begin to use the box somehow I got plenty of "Unfortunately, Google Play services as stopped" errors. When I say plenty it's like 1 error in every 5 seconds or so.
I tried to update the firmware (that seller gave me) but I'm getting this error:
Code:
"This package is for "p20x" devices; this is a "p20x" ddrsize=".
(Status 7)
I start looking around and I found out that my build.prop in system directory doesn't have this getprop("ro.platform.ddrsize") == "2G" that the "updater-script" file in the firmware requires.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

There appears to be several manufacturers of this KIII S905 TV Box. I found at least three of them listed in their corresponding websites: Acemax, Venztech and Videostrong. When inquired, each claimed they are the OEM. I hope they have similar board design (but perhaps with different eMMC and RAM chip manufacturers). I hope to receive my KIII soon and when I do, I will try to open and examine the board and post the hardware info here.
You can download stock firmware for Acemax KIII: http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...-1-1-stock-firmware-acemax-kiii-tv-box-2.html. One OEM sent me the link to the latest firmware but I have not been successful in downloading it as the instructions are in Chinese and it kept getting aborted from download errors.

Hi, I was able to download the firmware file using FireFox browser. I first tried to download it using IE11 but it failed near the end saying the file was too large and to try using another browser like Chrome or FireFox. FireFox worked for me. And I don't see any Chinese language instructions... it was all in English. So you may want to try the download again. I am saving this firmware in case I ever corrupt my KIII box and will only try to load it then. I am just saving it as a backup measure for now. So I don't know if it will load on my no-name KIII box successfully or not at this time as I am not trying it.

Sorry, I was in the process of updating the link to the latest KIII-ota-20160317.164729.V1031P2.zip firmware when I saw your post. In case you didn't catch it, you can try the updated link to get the March 17 2016 version. Yes, I did download both versions from the link I posted. As for the Chinese language instructions site, it wasn't from the same OEM. It was from another manufacturer whom I had requested and had in turn gave me a link to some Chinese cloud storage place. I think the one from Acemax should be ok as it is for the same KIII S905 with 2G/16G and 802.11ac wifi.
Have you been able to save the nandroid and flash the latest fw?

No, I have not done anything to load the firmware I downloaded as I don't need to at this time.
What link are you talking about for the latest KIII-ota-20160317.164729.V1031P2.zip firmware? I don't see any link to download it.
I just searched for it and got it from here:

I am not sure if we can trust these downloads... I looked at the contents of the .zip files and all the files seem to be dated from year 2008. That does not seem to jive with being the latest Android version files now does it?

Yup, that's the same one I put in edited post #5. Perhaps I should have created a new one instead of just editing it.
You're right, the files are dated 2008, but one of the files contain reference to 20160317 (March 17, 2016). Also it's signed so I'm sure it's legit.
BTW are you also experiencing the same Google Play has stopped issue reported by @Polido-PT?

No, I have not experienced the Google Play has stopped on my KIII. However, I cannot navigate the Google Play store using the provided KIII remote control buttons. I have to use an external USB wireless keyboard with touchpad or air-mouse in order to move around and select things. That's the only issue I have with that. I have not tried downloading many apps using the play store though so I don't know if it might one day stop on me also.
I run Plex, Kodi 16.0, Amazon Prime Video, SiriusXM Radio apps on mine just fine. Some of the apps require the use of the external USB keyboard to navigate. So having a USB keyboard with touch-pad or air-mouse is a requirement for some apps.
BTW, my KIII seems to be rooted already out of the box as provided. I don't know if all KIII's come rooted or not but figure its worth mentioning it.
I am disappointed that the performance on the 5GHz network is very poor. Speedtest only achieved 3 to 4 Mbps compared to 33 Mbps on the 24GHz network, the same speed as via ethernet and on my PC on the same 5GHz network, essentially my ISP subscription speed. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
If you are looking for a TWRP recovery for KIII, try Abdul's TWRP 3.0.2 http://www.freak-tab.de/abdul_pt/aml/TW3_KIII_.img.
Today I decided to replace the original factory recovery on my KIII. What I did was:
1. Copy the recovery file to the root directory of a PC formatted FAT32 uSD card, at least 16GB so it can hold a full nandroid backup.
2. Rename it to recovery.img and it must be in the root directory. The card may contain other folders and files.
3. Hold the reset button using a paper clip thru a tiny hole at the bottom of the device then plug the power in.
4. Wait until the S905 logo appears before releasing the reset.
5. Within several seconds, you should see the TWRP 3.0.2.
6. You can use it to wipe or flash from the external SDcard while preserving the original recovery, or replace the factory recovery with TWRP's recovery.img file.
I had successfully performed full nandroid backup with this TWRP and I can confirm that the restore function works. Next step to test is to do a wipe and perform a clean install.

When I begin to use the box somehow I got plenty of "Unfortunately, Google Play services as stopped" errors. When I say plenty it's like 1 error in every 5 seconds or so.
I tried to update the firmware (that seller gave me) but I'm getting this error:
Code:
"This package is for "p20x" devices; this is a "p20x" ddrsize=".
(Status 7)
I start looking around and I found out that my build.prop in system directory doesn't have this getprop("ro.platform.ddrsize") == "2G" that the "updater-script" file in the firmware requires.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Try creating a bootable microSD card using the Amlogic BootcardMaker http://chinagadgetsreviews.com/how-...-bootable-magic-micro-sd-card-in-minutes.html and flash the firmware with it.
Look Inside!
I don't know if anyone has opened theirs up and looked inside and found what I have but when I did I found only 1 of the 2 antennas hooked up, or with a cable for that matter.

Probably they initially designed it to use a WiFi chip that supports dual antenna, but then decided to go with a cheaper chip and put a dummy antenna since the plastic case mold has already been released, to beat time-to-market deadline.
One of the reasons I bought KIII was the dual band 802.11ac WiFi, but alas I got only 4 Mbps out of the 5GHz band! The box was practically next to my router, so it's not an antenna issue. I hope there'll be a firmware fix soon. Anyone else got the same issue?
USB HDD
Hello!
I use KIII tv box as a torrentbox with ttorrent app.
Also have the servers ultimate app running with a ddns update and local network ftp servers.
Problem is that the usb hdd i attached is getting unmounted after a day...
Is has no seperate power suply cable, only connetsc to the box's usb port with a data cable.
Is there any option to kill this automatic unmont?
mount files from local NAS using CIFS
It would be great to be able to mount network shares to the local file system using CIFS with the KIII . It would basically give your device unlimited storage capacity while connected to your home network.
Has anybody try to mount network shares to the local file system using CIFS with the KIII??
Does the Kernel support CIFs??
Thank you in advance
David
I just received this box, I usually like to download torrents while watching youtube or kodi. The problem I have with this box is it closes my torrent app as soon as I leave it to go to another app.
I went into developer settings and unchecked "kill apps",but it still kills the app when I switch to another.
Is there a setting I'm missing or is this standard of the KIII tv box?

kiii : stops video playback
Hello. I also have just got a kiii box.
I met troubles. The video playback stops after few minutes. This is true for xbmc and MX player....
The firmware is a kernel version built on 2016 mars 17th.
I requested an updated version but seems not easy....
Any idea?
Regards
Hello is there someone succeed to install xbmc 16.1.
Regards

No, I have not experienced the Google Play has stopped on my KIII. However, I cannot navigate the Google Play store using the provided KIII remote control buttons. I have to use an external USB wireless keyboard with touchpad or air-mouse in order to move around and select things. That's the only issue I have with that. I have not tried downloading many apps using the play store though so I don't know if it might one day stop on me also.
I run Plex, Kodi 16.0, Amazon Prime Video, SiriusXM Radio apps on mine just fine. Some of the apps require the use of the external USB keyboard to navigate. So having a USB keyboard with touch-pad or air-mouse is a requirement for some apps.
BTW, my KIII seems to be rooted already out of the box as provided. I don't know if all KIII's come rooted or not but figure its worth mentioning it.

Hello infobit.
It seems that you are using xbmc 16.1. To do it, I had to uninstall first xbmc and then install the new version. Now, but I don't know if it is the consequence or not, the video play back stops after few minutes (15 minutes). Do you meet similar problems?
Regards.

Both the KII and KIII have a "compromised" SUD that will grant root permissions to any app that requests them.

if the above instruction didn't worked again FINAL WAR:
Thanks to @Mafworld
for the full instruction below :
1- Make a hard reset.
2- setup your phone after hard reset, avoid WIFI or mobile data access on your phone.
2.1- once your device is done, go to developer options and enable developer mode.
3- download and install DHTUpgrade Advisor + Dependecies via file explorer or sideload via device portal
4- Download and Install Interop Tools 1.7 and open the app and hit on Restore NDTKSvc (This will help you to change the Registry, Some users are facing error trying to hit button "Allow Update" "Allow Update 512MB")
4.1- Open DHTUpgrade Advisor and hit "Allow Update 512MB devices" or "Allow Update"
4.2- in settings> sytem> about. check your device info, in case appears the original targetting info restart your device normally.

this update helps your device work even much better.
9-done.
This is a open source project, so feel free to change it by your own .
What this app contains for starter developers ?
This source code is a real simple code to see how SplitView , RelativePanel , VisualStateManager works , but it's really basic and easy to understood .
Test for 512 MB devices :
guys with 512MB of devices test this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3844546&d=1471383596
first check Backup , Then Tap on Allow Update(for 512MB Ram)
Thanks all guys who find trick for 512 devices and I will add their names soon in thread .
What are the files uploaded ?
DHTUpgradeAdvisor_1.1.4.0_arm_Debug.rar : it contains the appx file and you must be able to deploy it with Developer Mode enabled via file manager .
Dependencies.zip: this contains ARM dependency packages needed for app . (if you weren't able to deploy this app using file manager use device portal to deploy using appx file and these dependencies .
Source.rar : surely it's the source code of my app .
Technical Information about source :
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 , Universal Windows SDK 10586 (v1.4)

One more thing, which are the "old Lumias" that benefit from this app? The reason I'm asking is because when this thread Redstonebuild 14267& higher for old lumias was started, Lumia 735 was one of the unsupported phones. Now, I got 10.0.14393.5 with Windows Insider in the Release Preview ring.

As I said this app makes it easier to get updated. You can use registry editors freely to modify keys by your own but in this way you will save your Phone targeting info to restore and change your phone identity easier .

Don't get me wrong, it's a great app and we thank you for it. I just wanted to make things clear. For my phone, Lumia 735, no registry edit was necessary yesterday to get to redstone. However, I'm sure your app will be very helpful in the future for other updates Microsoft might consider my phone is not fit.

I think Lumia 735 is a supported phone to get Redstone. That's why no registry editing is necessary to get RS. This app is for those Lumia's (Like Lumia 1020, 920, 925...) which are not supported to for Redstone update officially.
Seriously, if you don't know how the 512MB block works, don't even bother. I took a quick look at the source and it's clear that you've just built a tool which automates some registry editing without having any knowledge of how the actual update gets picked up or how updating a phone even works. There is a lot of redundant code in there.
Do I need to interop unlock my phone or anything similar for this to work ? Because I just followed the steps in OP and no updates come up.

Thanks to the authors not knowing how the NDTK RPC works and what sort of permission set it needs, you do need interop.

No you have to only enable Developer Mode on your phone . I test this on a non-Interop unlocked phone 640XL LTE Dual sim and it works .

Yeah... I really want it too on 520... Hopefully, I can receive your good news soon
This is a guide to help everyone who bought the N9700 (HK) version and is not living in Hong Kong, in this way you can activate all the bands you want and remove the band aggregations natively create for HK.
BEWARE I TESTED THIS ONLY ON THE N9700 (HK) (DON'T TEST IT ON ANY OTHER VERSION) and it worked for me also without root or without unlocked bootloader. (Even if I strongly prefer to be ROOTED and with unlocked bootloader when doing this kind of mods)
I'm not responsabile for any damage you will do to your smartphone using this procedure. if you do it you are taking all the risks.
NOTE: This change is not persistent and must be done after every OTA update that touch the modem
REQUIRMENTS
1) QSPT version 2.7.474 or above
2) QXDM 3.14.594 or above . (BEWARE NOT USE A LOWER VERSION)
3) Qualcomm QD Loader driver
4) Samsung driver
PROCEDURE
-1) Do a full backup of your data
0) Activate the USB Debugging (there are plenty of guides on XDA I will don't explain it here again)
1) change the USB mode using one of this 2 codes *#0808# and select RNDIS + ACM + DM and reboot
2) attach the smartphone to USB the system should find new devices without driver (use the qualcomm one or lets windows finds the drivers alone)
4) find out which COM number has been attributed to your device and note it (e.g. COM8)
3) open QPST configuration if you find already a port configured go to the point 5 (sometime you will find everything already configured by his own)
4) Otherwise click on ADD NEW PORT there will be 2 field : Port (put the port you found at the point 4) (e.g.COM8) , Port Label : write whatever you want (e.g. MyPort)
5) In the menu of QPST configuration select "Service Programming" and click OK to every confirmation windows that will appear
6) Leave QPST open and open QXDM Professional
7) In the menu of QXDM Professional click "Options" --> "Communication"
8) Select the port you configured in QPST and under Communication - Target Port enable it and click OK
if everything is going as expected you will see that QXDM enable all the options that at the beginning are grayed out
9) At this point select "NV Browser" in the View DropDown
10) check MULTISIM checkbox (it is important)
11) In the "Category filter" select "LTE"
12) Find the item 06828 (LTE BC Config) - click on it and click the read button
13) you should see the a decimal number that is the current bands enabled
14) Install on you device LTE Band Calculator app on your smartphone and insert that number in it to see what bands are enabled, add the bands you what to add and note down the new number in notepad . (e.g. 17592186044415 this enable all the bands from 1 to 44)
15) go back to QXDM and past the new number in the field where you have found the original one click WRITE (wait 10 sec) - click WRITE again and wait 15 sec)
OPTIONAL PART - AGGREGATION
1) Close QXDM
2) close "Service Programming" in QSPT (don't close QSPT) - don't save when it requests it
3) under the menu Service in QSPT open EFS Explorer and confirm with OK (without touching nothing)
4) wait until you will not see the filesystem tree appear
5) Navigate to the "folder" nv --> Item_files -->modem--> lte
6) there will be few folder under LTE find a file named "ca_band_combos" or similar
7) make a copy on your PC of the file "ca_band_combos"
8) delete "ca_band_combos" file in find there (this enable any aggregations possible)
HOW TO TEST IT:
[IF YOU ARE ROOTED]
You can use Network Signal Guru
[IF YOU ARE NOT ROOTED]
you should see 4g+ icon (in Italy for example)
or test with a speed tester before and after to see if the aggregation works as expected (in my case before this procedure my test was 15 Mbits download / 12 Mbits upload, after the procedure 80 Mbits download / 30 Mbits upload )
HOW TO REVERT IT
[IF YOU ARE ROOTED]
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1'
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2'
adb reboot
[IF YOU ARE NOT ROOTED]
The best way is to flash with ODIN the full stock firmware and do a full wipe
Sorry if I didn't add any attached file to download or image (no more time left ) .. (you can find it on XDA or google it)

Awesome post. But one question, I bought Note 10+ from ebay (N9750/DS) with SD chip and calling is not working with Freedom mobile but I can text and browse internet. Any chances I can make the changes to get this working with Freedom mobile? Help would be greatky appreciated as I don't want to go thru the hastle of returning it.
If I'm not wrong n9750 is HK version In that case it should work.

Ah, makes sense....so one question is the secondary slot a sim/sdcard slot or is an extra sim tray needed to be purchased that will hold an sd?
Never had a dual sim smartphone, so some of the details are beyond me.

No. You don't need to purchase anything extra. How sim tray works for dual sim phone is that either you can use sim card 2 slot or SD card. If you use SD card, then you can't use second sim. But I don't think SD card is needed as it's memory is already 256 GB. And trust me, dual sim phones are just awesome.

No worries. Enjoy your new phone. Did you order the same that I mentioned from Veitnam? And are you from Canada? If yes, then you have to pay $74 custom charges. Still it's way cheaper then what you pay in Canada. ?

can anyone share what bands are enabled after this mod? I am using N9700 in US, and works great so far with all Carriers including Verizon, and VoLTE out of box. from what I gather, N9700 lacks several bands for T-mobile, i.e. 66 and 71. it would be a great that this mod enables them
this mod should enable all the bands that the chipset is able to support. However you have to calculate the right value to put in the NV RAM #6828 LTE Configuration since the number I wrote (17592186044415) doesn't include the band 66 and 71
Please look on google or XDA how to calculate the #6828 value for the bands you want to activate

I'm having trouble finding the info for those 2 specific bands as well.
Would i be able to read the value from my T-mobile branded Note 8 and use that value to plug into the Note 10?

Hi,
In theory Yes you can. But I don't know if you can read this value from your note 8 SD T-Mobile. You can try since reading a value is not invasive and if it doesn't work in the note 10 you can write again the original value. Otherwise you can ask to the LTE Bands Calculator developers to add these bands and wait...
my 2 cents
I need qxdm activation code, please help.
I cannot help you on this .... sorry. Google is your friend!
Great Job. Thanks. I've managed to enable missing Bands for Vodafone UK in my N9750.
