Regards, Droiders!
I just bought a Lenovo A850 Clone from china (aliexpress). It's model is lenovoa850c
aliexpress.com/snapshot/6008093008.html
(Please, let's not discuss if it's a good phone or not. It's irrelevant and will spoil the thread)
(Note that the Original Lenovo has a 5.5" screen, and the clone has only 5")
I don't like the Default ROM, so I want to install a new one. Of course, this phone has none that I could find.
My phone is already rooted, and CWM (Clockworkmod) is already flashed in as recovery boot.
I tried installing a ROM for the original Lenovo 850, but the phone never booted (the jellybean android boy popped up infinitely)
- What do you suggest?
- Do you know any compatible ROM?
- Should I try other Lenovo 850 ROMs?

Anyone? I have a new phone waiting to be sensually touched by me, but I need the ROM!
I've tried with Goo Manager, and it didn't return compatible roms.
I've searches a lot online, and couldn't find it either.
How can I find the most compatible one? What should I compare to find a possible match?
What hardware information is important?
Bump for me. I need a ROM
Have you tried with CyanogenMod ?
Hi. I recently aquired this phone and i hardly need a new rom. It always has full ram memory used, the touch feedback is not that nice and the sound is very low, specially when using earphones. I couldn't find any rom, not even cyanogen. Not know how hard it is to make one, but we can try team up and build some.
Thanks.
Also, any other forum opened for the A850c?

Your issue is that clone devices do not release the kernel source for it so no custom ROMs.
Bat cave One
I see. But isn't there any way to find that kernel, or use an existing one? I find the processor on this phone pretty popular.

No each device has specific kernel files. Without the proper source code you are out of luck.
The processor is only popular on China based devices. None of the big names use it.
Then you get into needing to build a recovery for it.

It sounds like I didn't pick such a good phone. Thus i saw a lot of mods for the A850 model. Not sure if there is the same processor, but couldn't that kernel work? I'm able to involve some time in this, but my knowledge about kernels and mobile software is not much.
I kinda find this phone pretty popular, but it seems like i'm wrong. Could you guys tell me if I should sell my new A850c and buy sth similar at the same price but more popular? I really need a clean and optimized rom on my phone to use it a it's maximum perfomance. And the touch feedback is killing me. Try play dots on this phone if you have it. It annoys you.
Another problem appeared. The GPS is not working and i really need it. After some research i found out that "they only provide location in China". Is there anything i can do? Even some fake coordinates would help me.
Thanks.
Hi. Can someone with the rooted phone send me a back-ul with all rom's included apps? I removed a lot of them and lost the back-up. Now i've reseted the phone and i really need the default apps.

Hi everyone, i am new at this forum and android devices, i searched for 2 days but cannot find exact answers for my problem
I bought an iphone 4s clone which the seller said that name is Gooapple V5 3G, android 2.3.5 is installed on it, but when i installed antutu benchmark and look at the system info, it is written:

First of all i am looking a rom which is android 4 for this phone. I searched for that and i saw that there are some phones with android 4.0 which has the MT6573 cpu. Do you know are there any rom like this which i can install on it? Are gooapple v5 3g roms compatible to this phone?
Also i installed the usb drivers for this phone and rooted the device, but i cant reach the sd card from pc, in my computer there occurs a removable device but not accesible. What is the solution of this?
Thanks
first of all, there are no mt6573 based smartphones out there, running android 4.0 . maybe someone is porting ICS to the mt6573, but right now i can not find 4.0 for it. there are phones put there with faked Android version, such as 4.0.9 or something.
yes, you can install different Roms on your device, but you have to port them first.
I have no answer for your question, maybe the SD card has a switch for read only?
i used wrong rom and lost the system of the device, now i need correct rom, is there anyone who has correct rom of this?

i know this but this device is not gooapple
ahh sorry, my fault. i just flight over your post, it was late. mybe some aditional informaton ( pictures of the phone, the back, the back without battery...
those version numbers or names can be faked easily, it is hard to say what phone you have with the given information. greets, chris
you have to reflash your stock firmware.
i found the rom that works correct but i dont like ios interface on it. now i m looking for a rom which has android interface
use this tool to backup your current working firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683883
and upload your Rom somewhere ( i only need boot.img and system.img ). I'm interested in the IOS interface and i can port almost all available mt6573 ROM's to your device.
I am currently working on a custom Rom with Cyanogenmod Settings,DSP manager, ICS themed , ext2 support and much more.
if you are interested, i can make you a flashable zipfile.
w w w.4shared-china.com/rar/GyMPoJuc/mt6375-236gps_backup.html
this is the rom i m using on my phone, all .img files in it
i dont like ios interface because it has lots of differences from real ios interface, text characters, icons, menus have lots of mistakes
and also roms for this device work too slow, is it possible to make lite and android gui custom rom for this device?
look at the pictures in my last post, this is a custom ROM made by me. the Mt6573 isn't that fast, but i tried to make a fast ROM for it.
it is working pretty fast right now, no chinese apps and a lot of customization you can do . there are a lot of ROM's out there, some are good, some are pretty bad. like i said, i can make a flashable zip for your device, so you can try out my ROM.
i can try if you can make a zip for me, this would really help me
also i have another problem with the rom which i gave the link of it, the network problem
if the gsm signal become too low, restricted access changed - voice service blocked error occurs, in my home and office signal is too low so i cant use the phone, do you know any solution for this?
i will make one asap, maybe your networking problems are gone with my ROM. im from Germany, have no problems here with the signal at all.
maybe your smartphone is just ****ed up, we will see later.
you got these problem too, before you got the new ROM? maybe the Baseband drivers are wrong or something...
Press VOL + and power toegether, what Recovery shows up? a standart mediatek one or do you already have a custom recovery?
i didnt use the phone with sim card before this rom so i dont know
recovery screen is standard mediatek
there you go! this is a clockworkmod recovery for your phone. just flash it with Flashtool and try it out! flashing a new rom becomes pretty easy with it. hope it will work, give me a quick response if it isn't working.
edit:
some minor tips: dont flash the preloader in any case, this could damage your phone, if it is the wrong one!!!
and always make a backup of the existing images!
i flashed with flashtool and didnt flashed preloader, dsp_bl, changed the recovery.img with the one you gave, nothing changed same ios gui, did i do something wrong?
do you have whole new rom for this device which includes all the image files in it? the one i shared here is too slow and some problems
the file i given you is ONLY the recovery, after flashing try it out with phone off and hold VOL+ and POWER, the recovery screen shows up with clockworkmod recovery.
the fully rom ( including boot.img and system.img) needs more work, i haven't the time to do it yet. just give me a day for it. porting a Rom to a diffrent screenresolution needs more work, cause my device is 480x800 pixels, yours only 320x480. i have to say, there can be some failures because of the different resolution, but this can be fixed easily.
the custom recovery i gave you is necessary for flashing new roms easily.
Hi There,
First off, I hate to be the person who has a 0 post count and is already asking questions, however, I am more than willing to offer a financial gift for anyone who is able to help me.
I live in China and recently purchased a "replica" iPhone 5 - the built quality is incredible at the phone is (was) very fast and responsive. Unfortunatley I have managed to clear the mmc and have lost certain start up screens and menus.
I do not know if I am using a zoophone/goophone/whatever and therefore I am not sure of the correct ROM to download or how to install it. I have managed to get the phone into factory mode by holding down the volume and power button.
The phones details are as follows:
BB Chip: MT6575
MS Board: mobitek75_ics2
Kernel Ver: 3.0.13 [email protected])
Android Ver. 4.1.5
SW Ver: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.20
Custom Build Verno: 1354360992
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Kind Regards,
Tony
Odp: Some help would be lovely! Plenty of details inside.
There's no Android version called for 4.1.5. Android 4.1 was updated to 4.1.2, not 4.1.5.

Most knock off devices do not use an official version of android as is the case here.
For the OP. You will not find much help here as we don't support knock off devices.

Hello masters, after lurking for quite some time trying to figure out things by just reading, I finally decided to put away the shy me, give it a shot and start interacting. :angel:
Android has educated us end-users to become more savvy into getting the full control with our devices and the many things that we can learn along the way. OK, nuff with the blabbering.
I got a budget friendly phone for this journey - which will be my practice device. I am just fascinated with all the possibilities that may happen with a tiny handheld Android.
So, my initial plan was just to root and install custom ROM for this device. I have done some research for the past couple of hours on how to root SKK Mobile A5. Here are the specs:

I have tried several methods and for some reasons only this VRoot_1.4.3.3378_Setup worked from bbs(dot)mgyun(dot)com and sadly I could not understand Chinese so before I get distracted from my primary goal (learning to maximize this tiny handheld and customizing ROM) and try to dissect the application to make an English version or learn Chinese so I can read it, I am going to ask you dear masters, for help. Any other suggestions?
Also, right now it says its rooted but I cannot flash CWM (or maybe it's just because I can't understand the prompts) and as far as what I've read this device doesn't have one yet. SKK's mobile devices looks like they're going to be mass-manufactured and really affordable, so another goal of mine is to maximize this, and also suggest improvements along the way.
I am just fond of simple things that CAN. I hope this ain't too much
I will be updating this thread with my progress - looking at the possibilities of one device, from a noob's perspective.
Excited to learn!

use vroot i have the skk a99 and its working very fine with me very simple to use just 1 click
Yep as I said I used Vroot. The only thing is it installs Chinese Superuser app which I am not so fond of because I cant understand it.

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.

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

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.

Are any ROMs on needrom.com working and an improvement on your phone?
Cheers!
Yeah i downloaded it as well but never tried. I think i will give a shot tonight. Thank you for trying to help man much appreciated. I wish all the Chinese phones came from same ROM so it would be so cool but its a dream that I'm aware of

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
Hello there!
I don't know how to put this in writing in the proper way but this is more like an invitation for security experts because I desperately need help with this...
First I have to admit that the last time when I played with and android device was with a Samsung Galaxy S i9000. installed and tried out various roms, almost bricked it twice before settled with cyanogenmod, I never had any security issues with that phone and I felt safe. I knew what is allowed and what's not.
As a GUI designer for almost 15 years I had to learn to deal with various systems but I'm no coder or any kind of expert on Android systems, just persistent and curious.
To cut to the point about a week ago I purchased from a Chinese manufacturer HAWEEL H1 model, their one and only android phone (what you can find on haweel website).
I didn't connected this phone to any of my proper accounts, or wherever sensitive data is stored because It does not appeared to be a clean device,
and today I got my first phishing sms, in a form of a whatsapp activation code. Never ever in my life received such message on this cell number, and I began to worry.
So my question is:
1, How can I investigate that this rom has a built-in malware/backdoor/rootkit etc?
2, Can I install a stock rom to this phone?
3, I do not know how this fits but I rather pay someone to check out this device/rom and give some advice how to make this phone secure and safe.
I can give all the information that is needed just ask please, the phone is rooted.

Most China based devices have all the above because it is required by china's Government. It is built into the main frameworks.
As with all no name devices you won't find and clean roms for it as they never release kernel source code and developers never touch them.
Thanks for this info, so if I understand correctly there is now way that this phone will be ever clean, basically I can throw it out into the trash?

Honestly, that is what I would do. Then I would save up and get a device not out of china.
Bought this for travel, It seemed like a good idea to buy a cheap droid which is not a problem if gets lost or destroyed.
Thanks again.

Yeah I can understand that. Best advise at that point would be grab one of the cheap devices from a prepaid carrier. When it comes to cellphones alot of things play a part. Mainly when traveling. Like China based devices are allowed to come with malware as well as things like key loggers, screen recorders and software to phone home back to China.
