I'm in need of some kinda urgent help and advice regarding a phone i have just purchased for my mother.
I've bought her a cheap Daxian TD888 on the MTK6589 chipset and i'm afraid i have been a silly boy and not done my research before purchasing - I was under the impression that it came with the Play Store installed etc and sadly, it comes with a hard to use chinese ROM.
Mothers being mothers, mine isn't anywhere near tech/phone friendly and this is her first smartphone (upgrade from a 6 year old Nokia/symbian brick) so i was wanting to get her onto a nice and simple stock android 4.1 or 4.2 or even a CMxx that i can just help her along with.
After some very panic based searching today, i'm not seeing much that can help me... infact... nothing regarding this phone at all.
So... have I been a dumbass and bought her a lemon or is there anyone that can help me out with advice or pointers on how to get a normal android ROM on this thing?
I'm not massively experienced with rooting but have managed it a couple fo times in the past on my old Nexus One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help you get it rooted and that would allow you to install Play store on it as well as delete any chinese apps that sometimes come on the MT65XX devices if interested. As far as the rom goes, is there not an option in settings to change language to English? I have bought a few MediaTek devices directly from china, when I received the phone it had english on it already but when I reset the phones I would have to go into Settings and change chinese language back to english.
Motochopper should root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
One thing with these phones is that the android version is not always what is shown in Settings > About phone. Try using this tool from the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone first and it will help tell which version of android you are really running. If kernel say 2.6.xx you are on GB 2.3, if it is 3.0.xx then you are on ICS and if it says 3.4.xx then you are JB. I bought a MT6575 that said android version 4.0 in settings, it said gingerbread 2.2 on the box (I know 2.2 is Froyo), then on bottom of box it said Froyo 2.2!
Thanks Klown80 -
I'm just into work now so I'll have to hook it up to my own PC and root when i get home later... i'm just in full on panic mode over this (its a time sensitive issue as she's due to be in hospital for an extended period and i want to get this right for her before then)
Regarding the language settings in the current/stock rom, it has english US selected and while a lot of the language is in english, pretty much ALL popup dialogs are in chinese and the browser is unusable (all chinese text based) so... hence the panic.
I was (foolishly) thinking it would just be a simple enough flash to CM or stock android and hey presto - full english ROM.
I hate it when i don't do my homework first.
So... you recommend the root first, check exact android version number and go from there?
Even if it turns out to be an older 2.1/2.2/whatever version, i'd be happy enough to get something stock and full english based on there if its possible.
As she's never had a smart phone, it will all seem super smooth and flashy to her anyway.
I have now rooted (i think..) however, the superuser app comes up with an error upon opening -
superuser binary (su) must be updated
and i now i'm kinda stuck.
I have downloaded and tired various versions of the play store and while the at first allow me to enter google accounts details, it always crashes after that.
Every time i open the play store app, it just closes again.
Any suggestions on where i might be going wrong?

Sounds like you need to update the binary then, if it allows you. If not then the root did not correctly root your device and we will have to go back a step and get that fixed first. As for Play Store, it usually takes more than just the Play.apk file to put Play Store on your device if it did not come with it stock. You also need (I am going off top of my head, I can give you exact names later) Google services framework.apk, Google login services.apk, Google Play services.apk. You need to have root to to this because you will need to move the vending.apk to /system folder and possibly change permissions on the apk before you install it. Once we can confirm root I can help you install a working Play Store if you like.

I've no idea how to update the binary so I guess i'm looking at a re-root.
I have had the usual issues of drivers not wanting to work (the Motochopper root process getting stuck at the daemon starting point) but I've manged to get the process to work twice so far.
(I've tried 4 different driver packages and they have all given the same results)
Could you possibly advise on how to update the binary file for superuser? I've just tried the root again and it skipped installing superuser as it was already found on the phone.. i haven't felt this noobllike in some time!

Try uninstalliong Superuser or SuperSU and try again. Su binary should ask you if you want to update when you first open SuperSU, if you have Superuser, then you will need to open the app and go into settings to update binary.

It was aksing to try and update etc but its chashed every time - I was thinking that the root hadn't worked properly or something... anyway, I've uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled from a newer apk file (v3.2) i downloaded.
Its now running ok. Now that superuser is working... whats next?

Ok, is it just Superuser and not SuperSU correct? Can you go into settings in Superuser and towards the bottom there should be an option to update su binary. If it is SuperSU it will ask to update on its own when you open it. either way make sure it lets you update binary. Once binary is updated download and install any app that asks for root acces, so we can see if superuser request pops up.
Once we have confirmed root we can move onto installing Play Store. To do this you will need to be able to install a file explorer like ES file explorer so we can install the files we need for working Play Store.

In the superuser settings, there isn't anything apparent for trying to update the su binary.
the list reads as follows:
Security
Apps List
Log (on)
Notifications (on)
Backup apps/preferences
To anyone with this same device, this is method Scottmeister used to root his device. (Thanks Scott for being the tester! :good: )

HUGE thanks to Klown80 for the advice and patience!
For anyone else in a similar situation with an MTK6589 cheapo phone, and had issues with the Motochopper root method (the root getting stuck at 'daemon started successfully' etc etc.....
Klown80's chinese root tool works a treat. You will have a chinese superuser app that may be a little annoying (you might be able to swap it for SuperSU or something but I had issues doing that so i've kept the chinese one) but the root works perfectly and the instructions given by Klown80 in the linked thread are very easy to follow.
I still had some issues with getting google services installed so you may want to look for a play store installer workaround - I know there is a cheeky little chinese mod apk that can be used to get the play store working, but i can't post it here.
Should anyone come across this thread and know of a good, stock english rom that I might be able to use, please leave a comment!

So on my kindle i had everything installed to have the play store working and i got the play store to work and i got the youtube app to work. And so what happened was i deleted the youtube app and installed the newest version and when i opened youtube it gave me the google play services error, but the play store itself still worked.
So what i did was i uninstalled all the google account manager, google services frame work, etc.
And tried to fix the youtube issue by reinstalling all of those things. I started by installing google account manager, and then i rebooted it to install the next thing. Only, when it started up i could unlock the device, but none of the apps would load. So i did a stupid thing and factory reset it, which i think got rid of the root.
I have no idea what to do. I couldn't find any thread about this.
The notificaton bar works and the navigaton buttons show up on the side. So i can get to settings, but the carousel and home screen won't load after i unlock it

Try to turn off wifi and reboot.
You should see that your device has found update, no more variants.
I'll try it again after school. What would I do next if I get the error again?
I have no idea. This is one variant. if tablet do not found update - this says about broken symlinks for example or something else that anyway do not fix without root.
btw check your root status:
adb shell
su

I didn't really understand any of that. What is a broken symlink? And I don't think I'm rooted because I factory reset it.
Also, how could I check root status and what would be the purpose?
Okey. You not rooted now, so do not pay attention.
Your one method to get working device is update firmware.
In way that I described.
If you do not see "update" button after pulling file - sorry. no other idea.
So basically, if this doesn't work I'm screwed?
Anyone else got any ideas?

You can get around it by using the root cloak xposed module. I don't think Softcard will work while rooted either but I could be mistaken about that.
I found a genie go apk but didnt work either. Obvious my search skills suck. Could you like me to what you are talking about?

RootCloak Xposed module here
Their site is experiencing slow response time, so just be patient.
Once you dl the apk and install it will ask to enable it in Xposed, then you'll reboot and be set once rebooted-
I'm going real simple with the search.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
I never installed the su binary. I just rooted and renamed the apk. Is that good enough? I want to do as little as possible in regards to screwing with system files.
You need to install the binary just install SuperSU from the market. Then install findmyroot. It actually temp unroots on the fly just go back in when your done with the app that doesn't like root. Click the button and your rooted again. Super simple even a trained monkey could do it.

Why do you need root? It sounds like you don't want to mess with your phone or install stuff. That's what people usually do when they get root.
If you really want to keep root, then you have already been given the best, easiest, and safest solution to your question. Install the XPOSED framework (http://repo.xposed.info/) and then install the RootCloak module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak).
So I decided to manually upgrade my Google wallet app to the new Android pay which then requires a new Google play services which I installed but the problem is whenever I try to add a card it says it is unable to verify my android version. Has anyone else attempted this? I saw some people say to un-root and then try it but it didn't seem to work.

I've tried disabling root via SuperSU, clearing all data for Android Pay and Google Play Services, and resetting my DPI back to 640. None of those did the trick. I'm tempted to try flashing back to 12B and updating to 24B, installing Android Pay and adding my cards, then rooting and restoring a backup.

Actually it will work if rooted. There is a root cloak that works. There are people with root running Android Pay.
Something in the build.prop in non-factory ROMs is causing the failure.
I'm trying to get a copy of a factory build.prop for 24b so I can take a look at the differences between it and Jasmine 8.0.
A third party lockscreen is a no go.

Well, I guess I've got something new to try.
I don't know why I'm so obsessed with trying to get Android Pay running. Perhaps because I used to use Wallet before they locked it down for root users, and I missed the memo when they opened it up for rooted phones. I've tried using rootcloak and nodevicecheck. I've tried turning off root with SuperSU. I've tried clearing Android Play Services data (which then forced me to factory reset my watch). I tried setting the DPI back to 640. Same evil message everytime. Cannot be verified.
If this doesn't work, I'll probably give up for a while and wait for a fix. Preferably with a Xposed mod that removes the lockscreen restrictions. Unless I get antsy enough to do a Nandroid backup, flash a 23c KDZ, add the cards, root and restore the backup.

Well, that didn't work. New approach, same message.
I wish there was a way we could consolidate our experiences across all devices. It would be helpful to know which devices and ROMs have more success than others. For example, my observation has been that stock ROMs are more successful than custom ROMS like CM 12.

I tried to add cards before I installed Xposed, even after disabling root via SuperSU it wouldn't work.
I managed to add cards by doing the following (on JasmineROM 8.0), all of which are REQUIRED:
1. Set DPI to stock 640
2. Disable SU
3. Reboot into recovery, flash the Xposed uninstaller.

Tried those running RR. Failed again. Seeing that JasmineROM is a stock rom and RR is a CM-based rom, it supports my beliefe that Android Pay doesn't like CM.
I got it to work. Jasmine ROM 8.0.
1. Opened SuperSU app and unchecked "Enable Superuser" box on the Settings tab,
2. Rebooted,
3. Opened Android Pay app and went through the steps to add my Credit Card,
4. Opened SuperSU app and checked "Enable Superuser" box,
5. Rebooted,
6. PROFIT!!!
I do not have xposed installed, so my guess is that xposed may be the problem.
FWIW, I use Tasker and I have a Profile that when I open the Android Pay app, Tasker turns NFC on, and when I close Android Pay, NFC turns off. That works seemlessly. Only issue is that the delay in turning NFC on is a little longer than what Android Pay needs to see NFC, so I get a settings message from Pay. No biggie, I just dismiss it because by the time the message comes up, NFC has already been turned on.
I too can confirm Android Pay works on JasmineROM 8!
If I've helped, please don't forget to press the “Thanks” button!?
I read somewhere that it checks the bootloader. I have the "1003" secure boot error and I can't add cards no matter what I do regarding SU. Is this a common thread with everyone here that can't verify? Anyone know how to correct it while running CM12?

I'm running Xposed and a new cloak module developed in the last few weeks for Pay.
I also have Tasker set up to enable NFC on Pay opening.
A modified framework (Xposed), root and a ROM not based on stock all cause issues.
BTW: I'm on Jasmine 8.0.
Considering backing up my current configuration, flashing JasmineROM, adding cards, and then restore the backup.

I need help. Pretty clueless when it comes to technology. Bought new phone to use an app as my old one no longer supports the new updates.
New phone is Xgody LTE 4G with Android 6. The I want to use app does not work for security reasons? Browsed google using a few keywords. So far I've checked to see if the phone is rooted (not sure what this means) using Supersu app, no root found. Using SaftyNet the phone fails on basic integrity and CTS profile match, do not know what this means but I'm guessing it has something to do with the app not working.
I believe there is a work around. Have read something about Magisk which I think might hide whatever is on my phone from the SafetyNet tests and get the bank app working. The problem is I haven't a clue how to install this or what it is. Does anyone have a step by step guide how to do this, assuming the person doing the task hasn't got a clue? Any help appreciated.

Which app are you trying to run?
TIDE banking app. Contacted TIDE and they've said my phone must be rooted but I checked with SuperSu and no root was found? This is all new to me, feel a little lost but I'm learning, slowly.

SuperSU might not be detecting root due to difference in su binary.
Try Root Checker Basic. You can get it from playstore.

Is the phone brand new or is it secondhand?
