Please can someone help?
I'm looking for a rom for my Harrier mini from EE UK or as i found out actually is a Benq T47 and no matter hard i tried seems nowhere i can find anything for this phone. the rom the phone is using although on setting is being stated as a lollipop version is not even close as it does not look as the lollipop i have on my S4 or on my Htc, and the one the phone is having is lacking on many things. like there is no gallery, no "My files" and the settings of the phone are poor. and is shame because although that is a cheap device believe me is very good comparing it with both of my other phones.
thank you in advance anyone that will try to find to help me

Hi all
I hope that I am in the right place.
I currently have a MyTouch phone but was in China last week and saw these Galaxy S3 knockoffs and figured I would buy one.
I am now back in the States and the Galaxy works quite well but there are a few things I cannot get to work and was hoping someone could help.
Firstly the data connection from my service provider seems quite slow compared to the MyTouch.
Secondly the GPS does not seem to work. I have tried a few different combinations but no luck. I have enabled and disabled the Google location in the settings to no avail. I have left the phone on for more than 15 minutes trying to get a GPS signal but still no luck.
I know that the phone is a knockoff and did not expect much but it sure does work faster than the MyTouch – apart from the GPS and data.
So my question is –
Is there a way to get it to work? Would it be possible to reload the software on the phone with one from an original Galaxy? I am not sure of the terminology but does that mean I would need to flash the phone or root the phone – if this is the case, how easy is it to do and would it brick my phone?
Where would I get the firmware from to do so?
Any (detailed) help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

As far as i know these SGS3 knockoffs or clones do not have the same hardware as the SGS3 so you can't use custom SGS3 roms.
This forum is of no use to you unfortunately, do a search for your model on Google and you should find some forums that might help you

Hi, I bought this super cheap Android phone for my daughter, for Christmas:
Star N800 Mini
I don't know if the specs have any relevance to my following question but you can find it on Amazon, I'd link it but I haven't made ten posts yet. :silly:
I was wondering if there's any chance of finding a Jelly Bean ROM that might work on it? As far as I'm aware, the ROM probably has to be specific to this device, right? In which case, I can't even find a website for the company who makes it, "Star"
If it is possible, I used to have a ZTE Blade so I have a slightly dated idea of how to go about flashing the ROM and will probably be able to get by, but obviously, I have no idea if it's even an option at the moment.
Thanks a lot,
Mark.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum and have a questions about a Samsung Galaxy Note N717 that I am using at working to test a new app we have been approached with. The Note was bought in Korea and is a Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note N717 LTE.
It is running Android 2.3 and We need it to run Android 4.0 at least for the application to work.
From the research I have done, I have seen other having similar issues upgrading the software. I recently had a friend who is a Samsung Qualified Repair Agent try to install the latest software however it has crash his PC and now the Handset.
I need to get his phone working again with Android 4.0 on it. Can anyone suggest anywhere near London, UK that can do it? Or provide me with the correct details of how to do it, like a walkthrough almost. I am fairly tech savvy and have worked with mobiles for the past 7-8 years but his has totally confused me.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I am sure this is way out of my league and I myself cannot provide a solution. it is very possible that the device has been bricked. I am US based and the only fix I am aware of here is called a J-TAG which costs about $50 here and takes about a week.
whether that is the final diagnosis or not? im sure someone else will chime in.
but isn't part of the solution knowing what you did wrong? I don't think you provided enough information.
maybe you need to check again your device for what it is...........I ran a google search for n717 myself (which is what you should do) and the main result in that search is an address so I don't know.
also tried variances of 717 and found everything from flight path software to medication.
I originally thought maybe you had a Canadian version bought in Korea ???
anybody is going to need more info..........
what phone is ?
software currently?
what did you try to flash?
was what you tried to flash for the right model phone?
can you get download mode?
does phone even vibrate?
at this point could be anything from wrong software to something as simple as a stuck power button
gonna have to narrow things down a bit........if you don't know what you did, how is anybody else?
A Note N717 is a knockoff I believe. It is not a samsung phone and will not run samsung ROMs.
Thanks for your help
The phone is a Samsung N717 Note, the software was Gingerbread 2.3 until Samsung tried to reinstall the software. it has now crashed the device. As mentioned I need the latest version of android or better than 2.3 at least. I currently do not have the phone so cannot try vibrate or download mode.
Under the battery it is either a n717 or i717, it is a LTE device with an aerial that can come out.
What can zendesk do for me?
I would really like to get this resolved, from the research I have done it can be sorted but it is beyond my capabilities.
Thanks

well which is it??? I717 or N717. kind of important.
and if Samsung TRIED to re-install software and then it crashed, it would then be their responsibility. I would be asking them where your new phone is.
if you don't make them responsible, then I am sorry to say, what kind of chump are you?
either you are not telling us everything, or you did not tell Samsung everything.
whats the DEALIO ?
Hee guys,
Yesterday a Korean friend gifted me her old phone (a Pantech Sky Vega A760S) , because she didn't want it anymore, dubbing it a bad phone and that I could trow it on the ground if I didn't want it. But it seems to be a pretty good phone and at least better than my old Samsung Galaxy Y. The problem with the phone she gifted me is that the interface is ugly and it has some Korean bloatware on it. This model seems not to be very common around the web in terms of new ROMs and I'm not that experienced with touching this part of phones (only experience I have is installing a stock ROM on my Galaxy Y with Kies), but I have a small background in software development though. At first I thought of installing the CyanogenMod onto the phone, but I'm not sure if that solves all my problems and again, this model is both officially and unofficially unsupported.
Mainly, I want to get rid of the bloatware and get a different interface look, that's all. So my question is; what would you guys advice me to do? Stock Android? (Which one? How to install?) Just CyanogenMod? Something else?
Thanks in advance, you will make my day!

PS: I'm not using the phone yet, so it's fine for me to factory reset/memory wipe as much as is need.
Anyone? :crying:
Hello everybody,
I made this account specifically for this one problem, and i don't belive i've seen it before on this site. Alright, let me cut to the chase:I've had a Galaxy Trend plus for about a year and a half now (an oldie but a goodie) and i use it as my daily driver, mostly for emulators and WiFi. With one of those two knocked out, i'm desperate for help.
Okay, so all of a sudden it displays the no connection icon like a crossed circle thingy, and whenever i turn on WiFi, it won't detect it even 10 inches from the router. I've never had this error and i'm pretty concerned. My SIM card works on my friends phone, however. I've looked everything there is to look up, and i've done everything software-wise , which makes me think it's a hardware problem. If it is, is it under the warranty or not?If I can't make phone calls or browse the Interwebs, the phone is pretty much useless. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas, please help out an old Android fanboy
