HDC Storm / V47 Firefly II ROM multilingual needed? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not entirely sure this is the correct place on XDA but here goes,
I bought a couple of Chinese Android phones and in general I am pleased with them.
I did however buy a HDC Storm MTK6589 1.2 Quad-core and asked for it to be with Danish language and off cause it is NOT !!
Are there any in this forum who has a HDC Storm OR a Firefly II (which are the same phones) who can cook or modify their ROM to a rooted, multi lingual, debloated and GooglePlay capable ROM ?
I can flash it using "Smart phone flash tool" OR CMW ( with step by step instructions as the CMW is in Chinese)
I bought this cheap phone for my 10 year old son and he is very pleased with the big screen but I am disappointed that I can not get Danish on it for him.?
By the way, I did try the ROM available on the "NeedRom" web but there is only one available and it is also without Danish AND it has a lot of Chinese on it as well.
Note: if I am in the wrong place in this forum then please do not hesitate to move it to the correct place.
Thanks in advance
Robert

Hi Patrick,
I did get Google play on the phone but not all google apps? I still can not get an English ROM without the Chinese??
Also I can not get Danish language on the phone.
Some games keep crashing on this phone as well???
I feel a little disapointed about the lack of support for this phone but I guess that is what you get when you try the cheapest....
This phone I bought for my 10 years old son and he seems happy enough.
I can NOT remember how I got the GooglePlay on it but I did try different ways? try to read HERE and HERE
hope you also have luck...

How to Upgarde the ROM for T4242+

Hi All,
I have bought an HTC T4242+ via the internet from China, and when I received the phone I found WM6.1 loaded in the phone and I have a problem with it as my voice is breaking or not hearable when I do a phone call!!! I asked many people and they told that I have to upgrade the ROM but infact, I found that there is no Boot Loader in the phone and did not know how to do that, as I am new in this, I contacted my supplier who sent me a .rar file and he told me to open it to be UPR file and load it on the TFT card by a TFT card reader, then to press three buttons together, the power, Middle and green buttons until I see bar showing upgrading, then to restart the phone!!! I did all that many times but nothing happend, the bar showed no progress at all, and I still have the same ROM version with the same problems!!!! anybody can help to instruct me to how to upgrade the ROM..................??????????? I will appreciate your help guys
hey man, take a breath!
go to
Settings
System
and press Clear Storage.
try this. maybe it will work.
good luck!

This question is not related to the topic, please ask it in another thread...
Regarding the topic, beware that the T4242+ is NOT an official HTC product, but seems to be a cloned based on other hardware.
It has a Marvell 624MHz processor, while our regular, official T4242 uses a Qualcomm 7225 @ 528MHz.
Based on the pictures we can see here, the phone IS different, for instance the wheel looks different than the one we have on the T4242 (grip is much larger on the "clone").
The space between the htc logo on the front and the wheel is much bigger than on our T4242.
Even the stylus is not the same...
Therefore, DO NOT try the roms on this forum, as it will most likely result in a brick of your device!!!!
HardSPL will not work either!!!
The hardware is different (at least regarding the processor), so the devices are not compatible!
There are other people in your situation, so you should look here, and after here.
Basicly, the T4242+ and T3232 clones seem to share the same hardware, and may be compatible...
Good luck, and keep us posted!
EDIT : i don't understand chineese, but if you do, you may find what you are looking for here, as they seem to have roms for t4242+, including WM6.5...
Again, good luck!
EDIT 2 : there are comparisons between the two phones here, you can easily spot the differences...
EDIT 3 : well those pictures don't even look like my phone, and may be two clones indeed!!! lol

Thank you Blubster,
I think what I have is the clone T4242+, but when I bought it I never knew this, I thought that I am buying an original T4242+!! anyway, I contacted the supplier and he forwarded me the english ROM WM6.5 as a SMART.UPR file and he told me to load it on the TFT card then to insert the TFT in the phone and press three buttons together until the flash will start and until I see and upgrading green bar, but in my case nothing has been started! so anybody can instruct me how to load the ROM on my phone???

I found this rom for the t4242+ from a chinese forum. Its a 21734 build and has integrated manila 2d(build 1818.3719). All buttons are working including wheel. Footprints tab does not work(for now)
http://sj.3zrr.com/4242/201001/2532.html
I tried to translate this rom using these files (21734 build)
http://hi.baidu.com/xulihanghai/blog/item/4d16b9ca389739f453664f46.html
and using this kitchen (3238 kitchen for clones)
http://www.load.to/dyLKs4KVeR/3238_kitchen.zip
I can extract the rom then edit the SYS and OEM language files
I put boot registry files (wich are included in the language files i posted) in ROM/XIP
Repack into new rom doesnt give any errors if i rename boot_ms.rgu to boot.rgu
But the rom wont load on my phone. cant get past the first screen. Is it cause i dont have the right boot files?
Ive tried extracting the boot files from other roms with no success.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
Joe
Thank you so much guys, my problem has been resolved concerning the T4242+ and thanx Joe for publishing the new ROM

[Q] Is any CM avalible for HDC A9100?

(HDC a9100 is a chinese good quality replica of SGS2 with double 3G sim standby)
If there is a way to make HDC a9100 running any CyanogenMod version, write it here, or if there is already one for that phone
I have been browsing for 3hrs and not found anything yet -.-
It actually already runs CM7 but the items giving acces to the settings and the details have been removed in the most china phones, the only one I know having CM7 settings and all still showing is the Z710 ^^
I'll by trying to get Cm7 fully in original state once my phone arrives
*been using mtk6516 before
thanks for answer, it helped
Did you have any luck with this? I can't find any one who has confirmed a custom rom can be succesfully flashed on. I want all the chinese gone from mine...
I will keep posting over here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37450-samsung-galaxy-s2-hdc-a9100-chinese-mtk6573/
And you can root it (see my last comment there), then you can just remove those apps with root explorer.
And the rom it's running is CM7 but it has been quite customized and some apps have been removed, I will be looking into those things.
When I've got everything back to normal CM7 I will relase a update.zip which will remove the chinese apps and restore CM7 to it's original state ^^
Switching it to English made about 90% go English, but about 10% of settings menus still in Chinese. How you you deal with that? I havent used CM7 in about 5 months, so I cant remeber exactly where everything is, plus some has been rearanged.... I will check out your posts at CMforum too.
I will manually translate the remaning chinese parts of the software and create a patch ^^
Also I suggest to install the latest 2.3.4 of the forums link I've given above, installing 2.3.5 is experimental so use with caution.
Also I'm trying atm to get the original CM menu back as it was normally with more options and ofc the themepicker is something I'm working on for sure
Thank you for all of your answers! im really excited about ur idea seahorse!!
Hi there,
I'm just curious if it's also possible to flash to the newer CM9 ?
the phone just come to my attention lately, it looks pretty decent KIRF LOL
and pretty cheap

[Q] Some help with a chinese cellphone with Android

Greetings everyone, before I made this very first post on the forum I can assure that I used the search option. So this is my little problem. A friend of mine just bought a phone made in China with Android OS (sounds pretty stupid to me). The problem is that the menu contains several sections where the english language is not available, but only chinese.
The most important thing I would like to know is what softwares should I use to upgrade the phone to a better version with full English menu, it would be nice to have Romanian language too but the main issue is to get rid of the chinese thing. The phone is using Android 2.3.6, if anyone could help I could provide all the information about the software versions of the phone. Also I can post a picture or the phone name if this helps with something. Many thanks!
Hi The phone make and model would definitely help. I'm sure you can't be the only person that would need english on that device!
What's the name of the cell....and intalling a new custom rom will solve your problem
Using XDA premium through A5
Press thanks on help
MCT 666 is the name of the phone. Another phone that he just bought is a Daxian XY 100. To be honest I've never heard of them before.
Search for their custom rom
Using XDA premium through A5
Well I did but I couldn't find anything so this is why I'm asking for help. Would Cyanogen help me with this matter?

[Q] System in Hebrew and more.

Hello,
a new xda user :victory:, and a new Nokia 920 owner, tried to search the forums for my question but unfortunately ended frustrated.
I bought my phone in Kazakhstan and it doesn't support a Hebrew language for the system (Hebrew keyboard is enabled tough) and also it got many apps and stuff that is in Kazakhian (that I guess came with the phone and will be there every time I update the firmware or such - That's how it was on my Galaxy S3 from Germany).
I heard that I need to flash a version with Hebrew support and maybe it will even fix my other problem with the Kazakhian apps.. I heard it from a store here who wants not so little sum of money to do it.... so if he can... I guess I can do it too.
The problem is - I don't know where to get the rom or firmware that I need with the Hebrew Language, and also I don't know to flash or do anything that involves Nokia... I did on my Galaxy S3 tough, So I don't think It'll be a difficult to learn!
Thanks a lot for everyone who helps!!:angel:

TurboX Hive V tablet - Custom ROM needed

Hi guys, first of all I'd like to apologise if I'm posting in the wrong section. I bought a tablet from a Greek store called plaisio. This store is known to buy tablets from the Asian market (China I believe), rename them and sell them in decent prices regarding their specs. The model I bought is called TurboX (name of the brand) Hive V (4 cores, 1gb RAM, 16gb internal storage, android 4.4.2).
I managed to successfully root my phone and make some changes (install Google play etc.) but I'm afraid that it's not enough. I'm looking for a custom ROM but I can't find anything for my device. Is it possible that my device matches any of the known devices and therefore be able to flash custom ROM? Or should I give it a try, building/porting a ROM such as cyanogenmod especially for my device? Another thought of mine is trying to port and install "Linux touch" which I really want to give a try at some point.
Please feel free to share any thoughts/help/info of yours!
Thank you in advance!

If you haven't turned that tablet into a sous-plat yet, search for Cube Talk 9X [U65GT]. There are roms, recoveries and root guides available. I think it was in freaktab forums, but I can't post a link.
P.S. Dead thread, if anyone googles it
