I have just ordered a phone for my wife - KINGELON N9800 5.7" IPS MTK6592 8-Core Android 4.2.2 Phone 13MP CAM 2GB RAM 16GB ROM. After reading about malware and other stuff on some of these phones I would like to ask if there is a way to root the phone and replace the rom, assuming of course if I was able to do that it would ensure no dodgy apps or hidden software was left on it.
I am a beginner in this field, last ROM I replaced was an HTC Hermes
Any help appreciated.
I have been scouring the internet since posting and have found the following….
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/11/How-to-Remove-Replace-VRoot-Chinese-superuser-with-SuperSU.html
One comments suggests it work on the Kingelon 9800.
Just wondering...
1 Is W0lfdroid a trusted website by XDA members?
2 Will the software remove all dodgy stuff that may be installed on the phone?
TIA
Anybody can help advise me on this?

I've bought the same phone and have the same problem.... and I'm already sending mine back to exchange for a proper MT6575 phone. I suspect the phone doesn't contain the MT6575 chip, is actually running on Gingerbread with an ICS theme, scored only 1800 in Antutu, etc.... I suggest you check yours, download Z-Device and see any inconsistency with the specs.
You might wanna take a look at this russian forum and their discussion on this phone...

I recently, by mistake bought a replica of Galaxy Nexus which run on a 1.2ghz Mediatek processor as per Antutu tester (it also show the manufacturer as Samsung and model name as Galaxy nexus ). Its a Dual SIM phone running 4.0.2 and also identifies SIM card and network but does not make calls ? Seems its country lock..how to unlock it? It also does not have Gapps installed in it? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Hey i have an motorola Photon, but he stucks on GB
Until april i will have 280$ without use.
So what phone should i pick? ( in the future )
anyway is saw the new MTK6588 it's amazing
so any recommends?
I'd say Meizu phones are the best of the Chinese phone lot. Meizu MX is really nice, though a tad iPhone-y.
You can buy Motorola Atrix
U can try xiaomi mi2 just released I heard its very nice,check gsmarena for full specificatoins..

HDC S3 i9300 Quad Core Mtk6588
Hello, how are. Well tell them that I'm brand new to android so I know understand, if this happen to some other thread, just let me know. It turns out that a few weeks ago to buy a mobile named: HDC Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 mtk6588 to 1.4ghz, 1g ram, 8gb rom, 16 gb sd, 8mpx cam, 2mpx front cam, 4.8 inch lcd. The truth is a great phone for me at least a passing Omnia 2 has this. The point is that as desconosco were unaware even android and I wanted to root as the play google told me he had updates for some applications, at that time I did not know use SuperSU benia already installed, and I had no better idea to follow a statute root of this type of phone, but for mtk 6575-6577. and so I did, the point is that now tells me I have 480 MB RAM and 1GB, 2GB rom and 8GB, 2GB sd and 16gb ARMv7 processor (VFPv3, Neon), and not a mtk 6588. Wifi does not work, or the camera or bluetooth, if the 3g and data. I learned to use the tool and flash recovery mode, I tried as much ROM for this type of mobile found, of course whenever with mtk6575 but the flash tool or update. zip I get errors. Firmware for Mtk6588, there is on the web at least I did not find it. It is not more to do, so I turn to you to see if there is a solution, or simply lost mobile. From already thank you very much and forgive the scroll.

Hi there,
I currently own an HTC Desire Bravo and was thinking of upgrading to a china phone with a MTK6577 CPU. I haven't made up my mind which model in particular to purchase yet as I would like it to have some level of rom support in XDA. A while ago, I had bought a china tablet (P10AN01, also going by brand names: Advent Vega, Viewpad 10s) and chose this model *because* it had it's own section in the XDA forums. These china stuff is really amazing as if you choose carefully may land you a device rivaling it's more expensive branded phones at a fraction of the price.
I don't expect there will be a section for every variant of china phone as even searching for MTK6577 CPU based phones returns a myriad of phones with different specs.
I would basically like to know if it is possible to use ROMs designed from other popular (and supported on XDA) phones on a made in china phone... If so, how would i know which would work?
am I correct in assuming that a ROM for a supported phone with similar specs would likely work? for example, an HTC phone with MTK6577 CPU 1GB ram and 4GB rom would work on a china phone with MTK6577 CPU and 1GB ram and 4GB rom?
Many thanks in advance for your support
I've recently purchased a phone from China( K-touch V8 Smartphone Tegra 3 Core Quad Android 4.0 4.5 Inch Gorilla Glass Screen 3G GPS 16GB - copy+paste of the order).
So far so good. The problem is I can't install Google Market, nor does it have one already install. So I thought I'd root it. Literally the only relevant thread I could find was on these forums. I'm new to rooting and smartphones in general so half the things I read there, I didn't understand.
Long story short, how would I go about rooting?
You can find some screenshots below. If you need any other info let me know.

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place (did not find a specific ZTE tablet forum - but i guess all the chinese tablets are pretty much the same).
I recently got this device, It's pretty nice, not strong or anything (like the nexus 7 i initially wanted) but it was given to me for free.
My only problem with the device is the operating system version, android 4.2, I have also nexus 4 device and going back to 4.2 feels a bit how to say, laggy, old fashioned.
Can someone guide me please / link and also explain if it's possible somehow to get this tablet to android 4.4 or even 4.3.
Thanks you very much,
Anyone knows maybe? even a general answer not only to the zte tablet, regarding the chinese tablets and firmwares.

I am hacking this same tablet right now. ZTE is just a clone brand. Really, it is a Rockchip rk3188 processor, and some GPU. I hope this helps you find the right ROM. The bootloader is already unlocked, so that's not going to be a problem. Download this to identify your HW further:
