[Q] Spreadtrum One: Rooting, CWM and ROM-ing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I've rooted and flashed my past few HTC devices without issue thanks to all the great info here, but have now stumbled onto a more challenging android handset!
My nephew has purchased a cheap HTC One M8 copycat from a market seller here in Taiwan, with the expected result being that he's somewhat disappointed with the end result! It's now fallen to me to see if I can do anything with it. Since it's a copycat I have absolutely no idea what it really is on the inside.
I ran VROOT on it as I heard that worked quite well with Spreadtrum devices which I gathered this to be. VROOT was successful in rooting it, but since then is unable to connect or recognise the device. In Windows Device Manager I can see the phone connected as a YunOs phone, but there is still an incomplete (yellow exclamation marked) Spreadtrum device that has yet to install correctly.
I've included below all of the information that I can get from the handset - if anyone thinks its possible to flash any kind of standard AOSP rom onto this device I'd be glad to hear any and all advice you can give!

There really is not much you can do. No kernel source or even stock roms for it.

That was what I feared. In that case I will use it as an excellent opportunity for experimentation and potentially irreversible damage!

[Q] Help Identifying Device

I purchased a generic Tablet running Android for my wife about 4 months ago. She hated it and we were able to get an HP TouchPad cheap, so she is using that and I got the Android Tablet.
It runs slowly and I would like to do some modifications to it. I have searched for hours trying to figure out what I have and where I can go for advice, ROM's, etc, but I can't find anything specific to the device. It's one of those Chinese "knock offs". I do have the following info:
Model #: Android for Telechips TCC8900 Evaluation Board
Android Version: 2.3.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-tcc [email protected]#12
Build #: full_m57te-eng2.3.1 GRH778 20110414.162501 test-keys
Also, it shows as a "haipad" in windows explorer when I set it up as USB connected to my windows XP computer.
I'm looking to root it, and then possibly a new ROM & Kernel so I can overclock it (it's really slow @ 800Mhz).
If anyone can point me to the correct site/post, I would be VERY grateful.

What is my device?

Hello all,
I bought an a-pad/e-pad which came in a Superpad 3 box. Upon research it is a very hard device to locate. I am looking to root it and install a custom rom to speed up and customize the device (as we all do).
I also understand there is not much development but surely there must be one person that can point me in the direction? There is 2 roms I found for a similar device the Flytouch but I am uncertain that the rom will work on the device.
The roms I have found is Tim6a and Axlien
About Device
Model Number: Android P1001R
Android version: V2.3 2011-12-07 (001112)
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #232
Build Number: FRF85B
I downloaded the "Device Info" app to see more of the details. This is what I got:
Hardware
Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: Mercury
Hardware: imapx200
Board: Unknown
Device: Mercury
Brand: Generic
CPU: ARMv6-Compatible processor rev 5 (v6l)
Software
Android Version 2.2 - Was advertised with 2.3 !!!
Bootloader: Unknown
Unfortunately this sounds like it is a clone. The apads that I know of are all ARMv7 compatible processors. That and the fact that the About device lists the version as V2.3 2011-12-07 which would be GB but yet it is truly 2.2 just changed to say 2.3 and probably skinned to look and act a little like GB.

Need help rooting china tablet please!

Hello! I am a first time owner of a generic android tablet. I am totally lost when it comes to technology. I love the tablet, but I cant download hardly any apps because of the low memory. I put an external SD card in it, and I still have no memory space. It has so many system apps and user apps that will not let me move to the external SD card. I would like to root it and cannot find any information on instructions for my particular device. I dont wanna try to root it until I have the right steps and info to do it. I dont want to mess it up. I would greatly appreciate any help and advice. Thank you for your time and consideration!

You could try this, but I have no idea if it would be compatible with your device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Maybe not
Thanks for the tip it helped me dip my toe in the android tweaking water however after pouring over the instructions it seems this method was intended for devices running Ice cream sandwich I did install pdanet but I backed off after that step I am really nervous about bricking the tablet I waited almost a month to arrive so I'm going to take it slow and keep digging for more device specific info and will share anything I find useful here
Thanks for the tip, I still haven't had any luck finding any info on my specific tablet yet. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm nervous about bricking it too. I had an issue with it just a couple days after I bought it, and I had to do a hard factory reset. So I wanna go the safest route possible
HI all! I tried to root my tablet with VROOT!! WORK!!!! My tablet rooting!!

did a quick look at the vroot method and it might work for us but I am still going to wait a bit I contacted the Amazon retailer I bought the tablet from (Golden Gulf) last week and they have sent my request to the manufacturer said it was a Chinese holiday so it may take a week or so to get an answer brennacole88 where did you get your tablet from ?
I used Shuame http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430698 to root my A23 allwinner 7in tablet. (there's only a Chinese version at present) by just clicking stuff using the guide above and it will add some Chinese apps but they are easy to remove.

hi first time ever done anything like this but i just purchased a gt90h and it keeps opening a Chinese browser called badui? and a couple of other suspicious files that i tried deleting and they keep coming back. also i cant install google chrome, is that because it is banned in china ? I really have no idea but i dont mind learning , your information is the best i have seen yet, so basically i have to root first to see what is on my system ?
then install a new uk English ? rom ? i am guessing here ! lol any extra help you can give me is greatly appreciated, i really dont want to but an ipad ! ha ha

Hi All,
I hope this thread is still active, its the closest information I've
found in trying to discover this tablets brand name and specs.
I come into this tablet world as a newbie on a quest.
End Result: root & flash this tablet into a Linux OS.
Re-Purpose instead of trashing.
This tablet given, can be bricked...to find confirmed way to accomplish
successful rooting/flashing.
:victory:
I am using Linux, Ubuntu or Debian...
so all those winblows 8,9's or 10's - "root'ers" do me no good.
Anyone wanna play or contribute in this 'sandbox'?

[Help me Find Rom]

Hello world.
I think this is my 2nd time here trying to find a ROM to my "useless" device.

Help me solving this little problem..
Long Story Short:
I have this device, I don't even use it though but i find fun to solve problems, and I've been trying to solve this one for a long time.
So, the device is an Iphone Replica (which is already a Problem) and I am trying to install a ROM into the device (smth like CM, KK, anything ) but with no success. The device is Rooted as expected... So I installed already a few software to be able to see what the system is like ..
(an the system itself sucks a lot haha)
I am not doing this for money, I am doing this cause I like challenges ..
Hardware Info:
Model: Phonei5
Manuacturer: alps

Android Version: 4.0.2 GBread
API Level: 10

I think that would be all, let the games beggin
I could really use a hand here everyone

Maybe you can try this one HERE
But sadly you need to register to the site to download it
The site name is NEEDROM lol!!!
Well then,
I can asure you I already been there, and done that.
That is an Oficial Rom from that manufacturer, What i am looking for is a Android Looking ROM, not that "fake look" of Iphone IOS 5/6
If you know what i mean.
Will I have to work and make my own ?
Because its not even worth it with so many phones at low cost with QuadCore Processors and decent ROMS and Kernels.

Got Rebranded Android Device: Any Custom ROM I Can Load?

Got rebranded android device - Need to figure out if there is a custom ROM I can load
Fair warning - I'm an android noob.
I'm have a rebranded android phone and I'm trying to find alternate ROM's for it.
The phone has the following specs:
Brand: AG Mobile
Model: AG Chrome Swift
Operating System: Android 4.4.2
Display 4.5" FWVGA
Memory 4G+512MB
CPU 1.2G Dualcore
Manufacturer refuses to release their ROM's, updates are non-existent. I'm hoping this is simply a re-branded HTC or something similar that I could an alternate ROM on.
When I used the APK Installer detector app it picked it up as:
Manufacturer: HTC
Description: YunOS ACB Interface
Any assistance to figure this out will be greatly appreciated.
It is a knock off device. You are out of luck to be honest. No one develops for knock off device.
Thanks man - possibly not the right forum for this: Is it possible to get a ROM off a working model to re-flash another?
Would solve at least one of my headaches here (and thanks in advance for any help!)
No because you will need a custom recovery to flash it.
