I have a cheap china clone of the Samsung S3 phone. It claims to be:
Model GT-i9300
Android version 4.1.1
BASEBAND VERSION - MAU1.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V12.2012/09/20 18:56
kernel3.0.13 - [email protected] #1 wed feb 27 14.44.52 cst 2013
build number - ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.6
CUSTOM BUILD 001130227
DEVELOPER DEVICE ID - JA56-JNR6-NEDN-C
Am not too sure about the Android version, maybe 4.0.3 and someone altered the build.prop to make the phone sell better. Phone came with a fake Antutu program to display fake results. Can anyone advise how to actually check the system for correct version?
It has an MTK6575 CPU(appears to be 1.2MHz), single micro-sim, with 540 by 960 display, front and rear cameras.
Came with many software problems, have managed to get the WiFi stable, however still some problems with the GPS chip, but eventually got YGPS to obtain a fix and give me a location – but very unreliable. Not managed to get any other software to work.
PROBLEM 1
However, when I use google Maps, it always want to install the Google Play Services, so that it has the V2. This always fails due to error "incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".
It seems to be complaining about Google Framework as this and play services both specify
<shared-user name="com.google.uid.shared" > - not found any other programs/system bits using shared ID's
could a poorly doctored build.prop be causing this?
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
PROBLEM 2
The other problem I have noticed is that MediaTek seem to have their own location services. In mobile tools, engineering mode, there is an option to use either Google or MediaTek. If I specify Google, it states that the goggle Netloc and Geocoder services’ Fail to bind’, but no problem with the MediaTek drivers? As MediaTek only divert their traffic to Google anyway, it would seem more sensible to bind with google direct.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

the problem seems to be with the firmware and build search the net for a stock firmware for your phone if there is one and flash may be that helps

The problem with these 'unnamed' clones is that there isn't any stock firmware, you get only what it comes with. Usually this is 'defective' as they rush to sell the phones while there is still a demand for them, and never get the firmware working properly. So some advice if you are looking for a smartphone/tablet, ONLY BUY ONE WITH SOME SORT OF AFTER SALES SUPPORT! Check the forums and see what phones have stock ROMS that are being actively developed.
PROBLEM 3
The LocationManger never reports any 'NETWORK' location. Wrote software to check it, can get a location when I run this on a tablet with only a WiFi connection, but on this phone with both WiFi and Cell, no location provided.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
Update
PROBLEM 1 - SOLVED
guessed that it was really ICS and not JB, so loaded gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip with CMW
this got over the shared user ID problem.
However, lost the IMEI number when doing this, (maybe clearing dalvik, not looked into) so reinstated with the MTKDroidTools.
SO RECORD YOUR IMEI BEFORE applying update.
Now thinks it is dual sim version, but that doesn't seem to matter
Now using the new Google Location software, GPS fix from COLD within 2 mins.
so problems 2 and 3 seem immaterial now.
see this post for solution to fix problem 1 ... created by brother @praderj

Dear friends:
I've recently bought a BizzBook B1i with the following specs:
Model Number : Android for Telechips M801 Evaluation Board
Android version ; 2.3.3
Baseband version : E1750
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7-tcc
[email protected] # 432
Build number
Full_m801-eng 2.3.3GRI40 20110715.110620 test-key
The problem is NOTHING works on this tab, say contacts, calendar, bluetooth, phone, voice search. Most of the application files are missing say I have seen Contacts provider but there is no contact.apk or say when I try to open phone application Err: Activity not found : com.android.phone.
I've taken it to service center they re-installed the OS, but still applications are not working. Now, after some research, I have come to know, that these devices can be re-installed with proper OS file or update to the new version os OS. Its on JB now. My questions are:
1. Is there a way to download a full version of JB so that I can flush my ROM
2. or is there a way to upgrade my tab with latest version ?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards
Hey guys,
This is my 1st post here ever.
The only time I fiddled around with rooting an android phone was more than a year ago when I had an AT&T Samsung infuse. I followed very detailed instructions on how to root it and upgrade it. It worked like a charm and I'm so grateful to all of you experts trying to help newbies.
A friend of mine went to China last month and brought me a Samsung s3 clone.
The phone is factory unlocked BUT
1. It doesn't have the original google play application. It has a similar logo which leads to a Chinese app store.
2. Google mail account application is missing
3. The phone supports only Chinese, Korean and English languages. (I'd like to use it in different ones)
So I need to re-install a good Android version that has all the Android features that I'm missing
I thought it would be easy to find instructions on how to do it it here, but unfortunately I wasn't lucky to find a direct and clear step -by step instructions for my phone model
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Model #: mtk6515_ics2
Android version: 4.0.4
Base band version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14
Kernel Version: 3.0.13

Build Number: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18

Please help!
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? :crying:
Hey man,
unfortunately I don't think anyone can help you rooting/changing roms as it's a replica and there isn't a real development for it.
BUT as for the play store you can DL the apk directly from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/14/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-6/
As for the phone language, after installing the google play store look for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=en
and choose the language of your wishing. That is in case that your phone supports it.
If you mean by google mail account the gmail app then in that case:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ith-slide-out-navigation-and-brand-new-inbox/
BTW for future references - try to make a search for yourself I'm sure you could've find those in less than a minute
Cheers.
Thanx
Thanx a lot for your effort and concern.
I downloaded the latest google play apk, I installed it, but it wasn't working apparently because "google login service" and "google services framework" were missing too!
So I downloaded them, but they needed to be installed in system/apps.
I downloaded "root explorer" which should help me accessing the system folder.
I copied&pasted the apps in system/apps but a message says "your phone should be rooted first in order to paste" came out.
So back to square1
On the other hand, I tried to disactivate some of the annoying Chinese applications that came with the system using "root app delete", and guess what?
I get the same message that I should root this phone first.
So how can I root this bloody thing???
Yeah that is sounds pretty frustraing..Well I guess you won't find here a "how to root s3 replica" guide and personally I wouldn't try and rooting the device as it could easily brick it.
I suggest you go to the store and tell them that you've got a phone with no option to download apps, or connect to your Google account...
Hope you'll sort things up with the store soon

I wish I could follow your advise. The shop is 4000 miles away in China.
There is a google store app installed, but it's fake. It has a similar icon but with different proportions. The problem is that it's in Chinese and it deals with chinese applications.
Oh that is unreachable, but maybe can you contact them via Email etc..?
Anyways I found this thread I think you'll see it much more beneficial than my help as I don't have experience on rooting replicas and it's focused on your device:

If you flash recovery from different device, there's a big chance you brick it
Try to use MTKDroidTools to root it, its pretty safe.
As @lolet said correct, you can possibly brick your phone...
That's why I advise you to ask in the thread I've linked onto, there are fellows there with much more experience than myself with rooting your device.
I guess in the last couple of years I've flashed hundreds of times but only on samsung, htc and motorolas.

one of the ROMs on this needrom site may or may not work. for instance: this one for MTK6589 chip seems right. also check this trhead -- page 72 in that thread may have some good tips.
do this at your own risk. I have no experience with no-brand or clone devices. even the administrator of Pandawill (chinese vendor) said there is no ROM available for download.

I did, and my device is kinda wierd because it doesn't have any brand name as you might guess. It says "SAMSUNG" in it.
And I read on the internet if I download original samsung duos i9502 rom it will brick my device (logically). I searched on Russian forums, Chinese forums but couldn't find any solution
Edit:
I found this:

but as it is russian and google can't translate everything properly I dont know is it right one or not.

the file that user "sheitan" pitches is likely a CWM (recovery) backup package, and not a proper ROM, due to its ~1 GB size . so really, do not use that. what's the issue or lack of features in your current ROM? As an alternative to flashing a slick 3rd party ROM, you could use various tweaks such as Xposed Framework, Modaco, and GravityBox. what are you looking to add or change in your phone's ROM? cheers with baltika.

It is 1Gb because it has actually 2 Same rom for 2 different flashing programs.
When I got this clone s4 I figured many different ways to flash the phone.
I used "sheitan"'s backup, and everything worked but screen
So I flashed my backup back again.
Well to your question why do I need a rom, maybe you know maybe you dont, these chinese phones use kinda low version of Gapps. Therefore I can not play Clash of Clans (I can but I can't load my account to it because it asks google play services).
So I was trying to install google play services and I screwed up a bit and was not able to install any apk.
(Was just able to push the apk file do data/apk and reboot - but its disgusting you know. Imagine everytime you had to do it)
And my backup was bad one (I backed up after I screwed up things so its kinda useless)
but what I did solved my problem so far, this "sheitan" guy's backup had "system.img" that contains necessary apps, I flashed only system.img and the other elements stayed same in my phone so everything works now.
But Of course I will not say no to an Omni or Cyanogenmod rom ever

I C. Wow this topic "can't find a custom rom for i9502" is very popular!
Clever you found the system.img file to be useful. Damn those Russians are f'cking sh't up in a good way :good: ! I took only one semester of college Russian, and I wish I knew a lot more so I could read the forums. I suppose flashing Gapps through recovery mode or something like that would be beneficial. But I don't have experience with that. What version of android you running? I saw the very first post of this thread there was no "brand" or "device" or some other strings. Is there a manufacturer or brand or other good strings in the phone? I attached an output of my /system/build.prop as an example. If you could get more detail from build.prop or by another way then the information may be of use. I found some more files linked in the Russian I9500 forums. I don't know what they are or do, but have you tried these?

As you see, I dont have anything useful in my build.prop because clever chinese friends thought they will trick customers by writing samsung there in the phone's build.prop but anyways, I will try to port cyanogen on my own, I'm a backend web developer but no experience on android so it will be good way to start, I think.
About Gapps, I read on some forums people can't update their google play store and other gapps because they are pre installed in system so they can't be updated.
But I'm afraid that when I update gapps they wont work and I'll have to pick whats necessary again and again so I'm kinda tired.
The one thing I'm happy with the phone is that battery is godlike. Survives 1,5 days and my previous phone (Note1) was like 10-12 hours a day barely. Now I'm happy but I dont know what'll happen in future.

ro.build.fingerprint looks good. I searched that and got a videos and file:
I like the hearing ♫ music in the video even though I can NOT see or read anything in the video!

wow nice. push the uptime limits woop woop! :victory: try to get more than 24 hours uptime and on battery without charging! maybe turn off "location" settings under system Settings and under Google Maps. Google Maps and Google Services and sometimes Wifi are real battery eaters
*EDIT* forgot to say -- You're very welcome. I enjoy tinkering with these things. I don't like MS-windows on phones! and iPhones are expensive! hell no! I was so happy to know Google released a smartphone with Linux in 2008 or '9. and I am awaiting arrival of a chinese boat offshore USA filled with electronics so I can get my JXD Android gaming tablet and connect it to my TV. Cheers

Same model of Cellphone, need help with ROM's
Dear,
I have the same model GT-I9502 clone.
I have some problems with this cellphone, i want try install another Android and Rom version for it, but i dont know whats version i need, and i dont know even i can download a ROM and how to do.
You can say what you do in your GT-I9502?
You could install a new rom on it? Found a compatible version?
To you know better mys problems:
This cellphone has a serious problem of "battery drain", sometimes it is with 84% battery and rebooting it, and it appears with 66%, sometimes before reaching 1% it off (for example, when this with 10% or some other).
Battery drains very fast, and turns itself off before the battery goes to 0% sometimes, for example, sometimes have shows that 50 % of battery and turn off anyway.
Detail, the battery temperature is normal, the app shows usually 22 C.
Another problem I noticed , had a day that was showing 47 % battery indefinitely, and with the app adobe opened, was showing 47 % - have stayed that way for so long without even changing the percentage, rebooted and then called again, and was 22 %, ie, apparently the battery meter stop to count the % and not show the real situation, the OS of my phone will be some bug or the problem are battery itself?
I trie another batterys, but the problem continues.
Already setting the cell for maximum economy with power saving mode on, with a minimum brightness with function close applications when you leave, and nothing worked to solve the problem of battery %.
I thought I'd try to install another version of android or ROM, but never did it.
And as this GT-9502 is a clone, do not know which version to use.
maybe you can help me, at least saying how you install another ROM in your cellphone.

I can't installing google play service and upgrade or remove... help me please.. .samsung s4 MT6589
So my S3 cannot download anything from google playstore. I have tried everything I can to solve it, no help.The error it displays is always the same: error retrieving from server.
Here is the information for the device: MODEL NUMBER: Z15A
Android version: 4.0
BAseband version:MTK6517 1,2G Cortex A9 Power VR SGX531 Camera 500W LCD 380x854
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #5

Hardware version 1.1.0
the phone became supersu and rootexplorer preinstalled and has android market and another android market.
That is a cheap chinese copy. Unfortunately i cannot support that device. All i can tell you is be careful rooting it as you will most likely brick it and there is no support for that device, especially a broken one.
As for google play.. Reinstall the framework apk and remove any 3rd party apps that interfere with it. Like the ones that claim to give free paid stuff..
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

Be careful with your device cause looks like an unofficial s3.
I know the fix for it read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59916921
I bought Android Multimedia system for my car:
Model: MGCOL1
Ver: 4.4.2
Ver: MPSS.TR.1.0-01780-M8626AAAAANAZM
Core Ver: 3.4.0 - [email protected] #1
Build: msm8226-userdebug 4.4.2 KVT49L eng.fengxunyi.20150828.144551 test-keys
But is seems that the Android is blocked: no file explorer, no browser, no Google Play Store and no Developer options for adb (I have tried to click on the Build Number and nothing happened).
How can I unblock it? I want to install some apps but I don't know how.
I have the same problem. The local dealer put a minimal Android 4.4.2 on the device. I believe it is made by Flyvideo. I cannot even update the few apps there are on the device, because there is no Play store.
They claim it was done on Google's demand, to avoid people using things they should not use while driving (like texting, surfing, watching videos etc.) But I would love to update my Waze app to the latest version, or get a better Internet radio than the one installed.
I don't believe that is "Google's demand" because there are open multimedia system (you can see a lot in Youtube).
To unlock the system we need to install File Explorer or Browser.
I have an access to WebView control with Google, but WebView control, as I saw, doesn't support file download/upload and not support to load/open local files.
I hope that someone here can give us an advice of how to unlock that system.
Hello,
I have the same problem Did someone manage to solve this?
ever solved this issue?
