I am planning on buying an S3 korean, but its pretty hard to distinguish between the originals and fakes, then there are the koreans and fake koreans :S
As far as my research goes, this specific korean is a fake based on the screen size and the distance between the ear piece and screen top (i did do my homework) but i would still appreciate if somebody takes a look at it.

gt-i9300 isn't a korean device, nor there was ever a 4.2.2 release for it

yeah, korean are like shv or shw, and that is surely not GT-i9300, but the model that the phone is showing can be spoofed to show whatever you want. What actually had me confused in the pics was "CPU Hardware: SMDK4x12". Isn't the i9003 supposed to have 'Exynos 4412'? But again that can be changed too (i think, right?) And then I started reading up on all of that, and got really confused, so started comparing the physical features of the device, and they did match up mostly, but not all, anyway, just got back from physically checking the device, the imei checker could not verify it as being Samsung, so guess it's a fake.

As theattitle i looking for a rom that make my wheel working.
Thx
As clone has nothing in common with original Iolite, nobody here will probably help you with that. You must check clone's manufacturer website.
English ROM
Please do not listen to these people. This phone is strongly supported although not officially. I personal bought everyone in my family this phone as it is of high quality and faster than the original.
The following link is WM6.5 English with wheel working and stable for HTY T4242+
http://rapidshare.com/files/332889532/SMART.UPR.html
Plus I recommend the following website for any software you may need.
http://forum.ppcwarez.org/
This phone may be supported somewhere, but not here. We talk about htc devices, and clones are like Palm/Motorola/LG, they share nothing with HTC devices, except the look. They require specific software (for cooking), and specific methods (soft reset, flashing, hard reset...). How can we help people if we are supporting devices regardless of if they are originals or clones? Even worse, there are even different clones of the same device (T4242+, T4288...), and roms are incompatible between them!
AFAIK, information about clones here are only for the people who buy these clones instead of the original, thinking they are buying the original...
Clones may be good if you know what you are buying, but people buying clones thinking they are buying originals ARE ripped off, nothing else. This is illegal for that reason, selling someone something as being something else. Remove the HTC branding in the announcement (on ebay for instance...), i am ok with it. But i spotted several listings for "HTC T4242" which were instead for "HTY T4242+" or "T4288". This is not good.
And please don't say it is faster. Processor is not everything you know... Clones have half the ram, half the rom...
And finally, what will happen if you have an issue with it? When you buy a device, you also buy support. Buy clones without support (THIS is support, when your device break, you can make it repaired) if you want, but don't advise people to do the same without giving them all the information.
T4242 quality
Look, the argument can go either way. I have personally had this phone for months and purchased many for family and also recommend them. To answer your question, they are not the same. This one has a faster more expensive processor for half the price and I have found that they perform faster. The quality is great. As far as support, there is a community to offer ROM's and warez sites for any software including GPS. As for warranty, cell phones have a life of about 2-3yrs tops. These phones are half the price and perform perfectly. So if you are worried, buy a second one as a back up and you will still be ahead of the original.
FYI: The batteries are exactly the same, so is the charger, and casing so all accessories will work except audio related headphones etc. They actually ship with 2 batteries and 2 stylus's and wall charger and decent headphones. Batteries are $5USD with shipping on eBay and so is the charger. Buy a bluetooth headset and forget about the plug in.
Please understand that there are people on this forum who paid good money, over double for a device which does not have the same specs, ships with half the accessories (batteries) and paid for twice the price. I would be bitter too. These phones are made by Hantel, which is part of a large cellphone manufacture CECT. I have purchased thier phone for 3 years and no problem. I have owned P168, Daxian x999+, HTY Q5 and all high quality.
This one is the best bang for your buck in my opinion.
jaygreene24: Clones might be good, but they still are and will be clones and have nothing in common with original. Just deal with it. But do not ask, how it is possible that kitchens, SPLs and so on are not working for them... Btw. You really think that your clone is faster than mine custom cooked original? I don't think so...
4242+是山寨货，不能和我们的这个rom通用
Sorry, but since this is an english forum, you are supposed to write in english...
And why would you write in chinese in a thread asking for an english rom? I just don't get it...
Can anyone post a good link for a current T4242+ english rom?
http://ul.to/wdfc52
This is an English wm6.1 rom that I got from a seller in China. Although its wm6.1 at least it is in english..
I am living in Beijing at the moment and I will try to get a wm6.5 english rom from a seller as soon as I can...
I seem to have inadvertently got hold of one of these... Sorry but the build quality isn't a fraction of HTC's. Anyways it seems like I'd better make the best of a bad situation. In the process of trying to flash the rom I appear to have frozen windows so now I can't access anything on the home screen.
Now - I'm vaguely aware of how to do this sd card flashing business but can someone fill me in? I've figured out how to access the usb update mode but nothing beyond that. Failing that, a hardware hard reset would also be great if I could get the button combination - if there is one lol
Any advice at all very welcome thanks!
hard reset turns out to be - middle circle including outside and inside buttons + red button. Now to get a decent rom to flash
I flashed my T4242+ clone with an english 6.5 rom; works perfectly, wheel and buttons included.
If you want to modify the user interface, add a nice plugin, like Iphonetoday ( there are others, too ), and there is not much left I might need.
Not sure where else to post this so posting here (mods feel free to move if there is a better spot)
I have been trying to find a charger port for a note 3 n9006 variant. This is a Chinese variant of the note 3. Other charge flexes will not work they are all basically the same regardless of carrier. But this version is very different it is basically a small board same width/height across the board. At any rate does any one have a clue as to where i can buy this part from? US or china etc makes no difference to me at this point. Just need this part. For that matter some one here might even have the part.

This is an old thread so sorry for the late reply, but would this work?
http://www.amazon.com/Ribbon-Charger-Charging-Connector-Samsung/dp/B00MGESGVS
Unfortunately no it is the same part i have. The one needed is like half as tall and strait along the top etc. I may have to contact samsung a few times directly to get it. Going to be pricey and hard to get.

i think you are referring for some original phone , but he wants to know some Chinese source , as me too looking for digitizer of note 3 but for Chinese note 3 , any help ?
So ive been putting it off for a while, but its time to retire the device im using. Trouble is, I'm used to being rooted. And theres so much out there, I figured I'd ask here first instead of getting swamped trying to dig through the options.
So, my budget is around $250-300, flexible depending on the device and what not. Prepaid cuz **** contracts and all that. And so you know what I'm coming from, Im currently on a Galaxy J3 with Virgin. So whatever it is should be a noticeable, preferably significant upgrade from that.
Things ive never had in a phone but would definitely pay a little more for:
Fingerprint sensor
NFC capabilities (android pay, etc)
Anything that has been standard on fancier, more expensive phones but not on devices under ~$150 (my max I'd spend in the past).
Carrier doesnt matter too much, as long as its prepaid/no contract.
Help me people, I await your advice.
Also, apologies if this isnt where this should be posted.

Try Micromax Canvas Infinity
Ill go the whole ordering a phone overseas as a last resort. Id prefer it to not be too "off brand" if possible. If not then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Hey everyone! Anyway to flash my mate 10 pro with USA software without having to pay so much money? Thanks!
This thread details a flashing/re-branding process which you can perform without paying. Note that I haven't even read through the thread, let alone done anything mentioned in it, so don't treat this as an endorsement - perform your own due diligence and decide if it's the path you want to take before embarking on it.
If you decide to follow this path, the correct region code for the USA appears to be C567 according to this thread. Good luck!
Above poster is correct.
Though there is no USA firmware (yet). I'm not even sure what Pro will release with in the US or if it will support WiFi calling (t-mobile and at&t pulled out)

It appears to all be about politics, as this article (among countless others) hints at. Don't be surprised to find ZTE products no longer being made available in the US market. I wonder how long it'll take them to realise that Motorola is now Chinese, and decide to ban that brand too?
Politicians: just like cockroaches, only more disgusting and less useful.

It's very hard to find electronics without Chinese-made parts
So I bought this Samsung sm-G9750, it has lollipop running as the os, when I go to settings about phone it says version is 9.0. I've been learning about Apks ROMS ETC to try to this this, Idk what to do I don't have a laptop all I have is a kindle and a Seagate driver..I've been installing Samsung apps from APKmirror...then I found out its goophone.....
It's storage is 256 gb as a "AS STORAGE" but internal 16gb.
I downloaded marshmallow yesterday to try to change the system uI but that isn't working either keeps saying the app will work better with firmware user which IDK what that means or what to do.
When I go to recovery mode and hit update sdcard it gives me a list only thing is I don't have a sdcard....
When I go to about phone and system update it says there are none.
Is there a way I can update through cache??
I! At my wits end on this I need help please
Sounds like you bought a fake s10, try to get your money back somehow, hopefully you didn't pay too much for it.
You can also try to reset the phone, this will bring it back to stock, but I doubt it'll work since no s10 ever came with lollipop.

Yeah I realized that and I bought it from someone off of Facebook marketplace. He blocked me etc I paid 100$ for it.
It doesn't have a serial number per device but when I log onto Samsung it has a Samsung serial number.
I have factory reset it before and it didn't revert.to stock..
I have been downloading Samsung apps and Samsung device files.
Is there a site I can go to that
I have ALL of the apps that the Samsung version is?
It says bootloacer: unknown
Firmware statu s: is blank
Says largest firmware: N/A
ANDROID VERSION
9.0/SDK22 (LOLLIPOP)
Some samsung apps will only work on samsung phones so you're out of luck with your phone. Whatever you find on the play store like their browser and email and such might work but that's about it. Try to report that guy but just take it as a hard lesson learned.

$100 for a S10+... Come on, don't tell me you didn't know it was a fake before you handed the $100 to the seller.
I don't even feel sorry for you to be honest. But yeah be careful next time... If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.
Like mentioned, some Samsung apps are meant for authentic Samsung phones only.

Sorry to hear that but a little research would most likely have prevented that. A deal is one thing but 99% of deals like that are either fake or stolen phones.

Lol relax, no one is trolling you here. Sounds like you are one of those people who don't research at all when you make a purchase.
10 mins of researching would have saved you from being scammed of $100. Example, S10 that comes with Android Lollipop... Lol..lipop, pun intended.
Did you even check the phone out when you met up with the seller? Sorry to say this though but you are in the wrong section of the forum. Though they might have a forum page for knock off phones in the future.
Too good to be true. Android 9 is pie, not LOL..lolipop..no pun intended lolololololipop
