[Q] Chinese phone LKD L8 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody. New to the site, but learning a lot.
I purchased a Chinese an unlocked android phone from Taiwan, LKD L8, and I thought I was supposed to be able to swap SIM cards pretty easily. When I got it to the US, I was originally on T-mobile. Recently I tried switching carriers and when I put in a new SIM card I now have to enter a privacy password. I called both T-mobile and Ting and they both said it's a phone issue. Unfortunately I cannot find any tech support from the company. I tried resetting the device, but that does not remove the privacy password. I searched and I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. A suggested fix is that I flash the ROM. I can't find LKD L8 on this site, so I was wondering if I could flash a different ROM? From the little I know, I have to make sure the chipset is the same correct?
The specs on the L8 are very similar to the Samsung S5 I think.
L8 Specs:
WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHZ
Chipset MTK6592-1.7Ghz-Octa-Core
OS android 4.4.2
Sim Dual-SIM Dual-Standby
Gravity Sensor yes
Distance Sensor yes
GPS yes
FM yes
USB 5 pin mini
What do you all think? Could I flash it with the Samsung ROM?
Thanks for your help. I tried other forums, but this site seems to be the best.

i‘m afraid that there’ll be a few custom rom for A199,for the k3v2 cpu,it is special,which needs to confirm the boot.imgfile all the time,unless Huawei would unlock this structure.the models like A199,such as Huawei P6,U9508,Mate,etc all have this sort of question
on Anzhi page ,chinese developers only ported miui for them due to miui uses the same boot file.
you can browse the page.
good luck!

I found some posts on the ROM from Chinese Flashing Forum web: shuajizhijia.com/huawei/a199/
Anybody know whether flashing my A199 with one of those ROM will allow the use of other provider's CDMA SIM card?
Thanks.
Ok.. so now I managed to flash my phone with one of the ROM downloaded from Shuajizhi, but my A199 still doesn't read my CDMA card...
Do I need to root my phone first? How can I install gApps on my phone?
Thanks for any help..

Hi,
How you got your phone unlocked? Can you explain please? I also have A199 with cdma part locked
Hi guys,
I've buy one A199 when I was in China for work 4 months ago , now I'm returned in Europe but my phone company use only 3g and this phone actually use only 2g line.
Now my question are , There is european firmware for this phone?
It's possible to unlock 3g line and /or there are custom roms for european use?
And the last question is , It's possible to add android market? because actually if I download the app, it isn't possible to open
Thanks in advance for your response

If you mean to use 3g in GSM card slot - no, you cannot, it is only for GSM 900/1800 Mhz, but not for HSDPA 2100 Mhz. CDMA card slot you can use only for cdma 800 Mhz also. As to Google account and market - sure you can. You need to root your phone first with a help of EROOT program . Then use gapps-jb-20121011-signed . I suggest to do this all on clean last firmware version CV100R001C92B130 .

Nordmende NS531Q dual sim urgente help needed!!!

Hello all,
my wife bought Nordmende NS531Q dual sim smartphone. Due to some problems I came across I tried to flash a new ROM that unfortunately it was not suited for it so phone got brick.
I tried to find a proper ROM for it, but I got nothing on internet. Could some of you help me or at least tell me how I could find the "real phone model" (I'm sure Nordmende rebranded it). I guess it supports an MTK chipset.
Thanks a lot in advance

Missing rSAP support..

Hello
I'm really not happy finding out my S9+ is missing rSAP (remote SIM Access Profile) support..
Except from this the phone seems to be great..
Any fix out there to get support for rSAP?

It works for my Audi A7, not able to manually connect every time though. Annoying. Phone going back anyway
Do you have the dual sim-version?
After some googling it seems like single sim-version supports rSAP while dual-sim versions doesn't..

Yes was single sim version. Now to try make my mate 10 connect via rSAP
That explains a lot, here in Norway the dual-sim version is the only one available..
The Mate 10 is not an option for me as the Huawei Mate 10 doesn't have QI charging.

Are you not able to flash the single sim firmware onto it?
I haven't tried that.. Is it safe to do so?
If you root, you may be able to install rSAP:

Seems rsap on exynos is supported. But not on the snapdragon. Damn. Cause I have both and and snapdragon is better right now. Snappier and less battery
Did someone try to root and install this
http://www.android-rsap.com/bluetoot...s-profile.html
on the DUOS version? I like this phone but I hate the missing RSAP funcionality...
(I have the Exynos version)
Same thing in France/Belgium/Holland/Luxembourg , the single sim version is not sold in those countries, therefore no RSAP profile in any of those countries... It's really a scandal!
It's time for everybody to contact your sales support in your countries to ask for a software update to activate RSAP, only pressure will make them create an update
anyone ???

RSAP on S9 Duos
I tried it now on several variants without success.
Stock Rom Rooted, Stock Rom PIE Rooted, Custom Rom on PIE (The Galaxy Project) Root or without root. The RSAP installer does not work. Even the expensive paid version from a different supplier does not work at all. Has anyone found a fix for it. Since i really need this feature to connect the phone to my car. Otherwise it is kind of useless to me.

In the same boat s7 edge worked a treat thought s9 plus would be the same but no :/
last week some people with S10/S10+ duos started to report after update to A10 that rSAP is available when only one SIM is inserted in phone, can someone with official FW with A10 for S9+ for Germany can confirm this?
recommended is remove car from paired devices and also remove phone from list of paired devices in car
My S9 should be single SIM ... It's from Vodafone Italy but rSAP seems not working on my VW Touareg RNS 850 Infotainment System.
How can I check which HW version is my S9 ?
Is there any trick to activate it ?

Rsap works perfect in Android 10 in the s9 Duos even with two Sims inserted. But only in a stock Rom or stock custom Rom. Trying lineageos 17.1 right now, but it does not Seem to work

Hi from Oz (Nova 3e)

Just a hello from a new member and some info on my phone, in case this sort of info is helpful to anyone:
Country: Australia
Phone: Nova 3e
Model: ANE-LX2J
Current build number: ANE-LX2J 8.0.0.121(C636)
Note the phone just updated earlier today with whatever incremental changes were made relative to when this was out of the box (bought it a week and a half ago from JB).
I've grabbed the unlock code from the Huawei website, just need to go through that process then will likely root the phone and maybe install an alternate bootloader. But still trying to figure out what actually will be compatible with *my* phone, as compared with all the other P20 Lite variants.
#1 request for now would be to have a solid, no-frills AOSP-based ROM to replace EMUI. Whatever I can do on to help out on that front...
Cheers
Nik
Fingers crossed OpenKirin will have a good option for this device soon :good:
dual sim firmware code
I too bought the Nova 3e from JB-hifi in Australia. However, I was disappointed to find that it did not have the dual-sim option under my settings page. Wondering if anyone knows how to interpret the firmware naming conventions to identify dual/single sim options? My model is the ANE-LX2J, country code 636, current build is 121. Love to be able to flash this to a dual sim option, without losing the correct 4G bands required in Australia. Thank you in advance for any knowledge sharing.

Korean s9Plus

Hi Guys Im using a SM-G965N in the UK, when I try to register for the Pie Beta it give me the message "Your sim card doenst match the service provider software on your phone. This is common if you've changed service providers or if your phone and SIM card are from different country's" Im using the 3 network in the UK and the phone is LGu... Anyone have any work around..?
Anyone? I have exactly same problem. I got sm-g965n with LG Uplus carrier living in other country. Can i just flask stock firmware in my region to get rid of all the bloats and also is there a way for me to participate in pie beta? I can also swap this one with carrier unlocked SD845 version. Can i flash US stock on that one also?
Hi guys, I'm running into a similar issue with G965F device in Canada.
Here's what I've been able to piece together. Each device is a hardware variant and can use a specific set of firmware variants (sometimes called Multi-CSC). Your hardware variant is G965N. And if you look at sammobile for hardware variant, you can see the set of firmware available for this specific device. Unfortunately for you, there is ONLY Korean firmware for this hardware variant. For me, I have many more options but still no Canada!
It it completely inadvisable to flash the firmware onto your device that is not specifically tailored to your hardware. It's especially stupid when the firmware is tailored for an entirely different chipset (for example, Exynos firmware for Snapdragon hardware). But even if the devices use the same chipset, there may exist other hardware differences that will cause instability/errors/ bricks/unknown.
So as far as I can tell, we're all screwed. Have a nice day
Great news. I got into Pie Beta with my g965n. I was about to change my phone when i found LG Uplus sim card in my country. I put the sim card in and was able to register and download OTA. Now i am on android pie.

I found it almost by luck. I was at this phone store when i randomly asked from a lady selling smart phones whether she had Lg Uplus sim card or not and she said yeah i got few. You can have one. That is how i found one. I wouldn't be able to ship it outside country without reliable shipping service in my country.
