Hello all
Can you please help me to install google services and play store to my PPTV King 7s? (Mediatek 6795, 640dpi, android 5.1)
I have rooted it but I didn't succed to install google services... I have tried everything! It seems non compatible and the company doesn't care at all...
Thanks in advanced
up
any help?
the firmware can be found here: http://www.needrom.com/download/pptv-king-7/
up
After rooting and installing the original OS, did you manage to be able to select the original theme? or was it set as default straight away? Also, was lenovo launcher still installed or not? as i suspect this was bloatware for the custom Rom that was installed for google sevices to work with the phone?
Hey there! I ordered a pptv king 7s on gearbest and now trying to figure out, what to do with it, when it arrives. There are some threads for the king 7 (without the "s") and i wonder, if i can use these instructions for the 7s, too...
tbh, the 7s is exactly the same as the 7 but the only difference is the firmware and lcd screen to make the 3d function work. I am currently trying to find a working link to the original 7s firmware. As i don't speak, read, or write Chinese langrage it is extremely difficult to find this 7s firmware. I have tried google translate but it is very limited. So if anyone can help with this, i would be very, very grateful.

read my comment above xd
Hi, I just got my King 7s yesterday for US$110, and success install Play Store.
(The glass-free 3D is really fun!)
Here we go:
1.Update to least firmware with build-in OTA.
(Today's version number is PP6000_206I PPOS-2016.10.13-152)
2.Enable USB Debugger (If you don't know how to, google it)
3.Root phone with https://www.kingoapp.com (use Windows version)
4.Download "Go Google Installer" (Go谷歌安裝器) and run it, then reboot
That's all! Do forget install Google Contact Sync for sync your contacts.
Good luck!
thats in my opinion the best way to get gapps(playstore, maps, okay google, etc...)
root the phone
install twrp
backup with twrp
select and download the gapps variant u want
to prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!
since im not allowed to post real links, here is my "link"
opengapps . org /?download/
install it trough recovery (twrp)
this will also work with every other phone without gapps

Recover your IMEI with this app:
Chamelephon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelephon
Will this app recover both my original IMEI's or is it just a generator??
I have replaced one of my original IMEI's that i had lost with a spare i had on another device, with different windows software (not an app) but i would like to get my lost original IMEI back. (The one on the back of the box, i still have)
I also backed the custom Rom at the time through TWRP, and have the nvram saved in this backup, but cannot find a way to restore my backup, (not sure why) or read the nvram to get the lost IMEI info.
If i can find a way to read the nvram info, i can the get my lost IMEI back and all will be good again.
Any help with this would be very welcome.
T.I.A...?

As far as I know Chamelephon recovers the original IMEI. It was used with success by Takee owners that lost IMEI during a custom ROM installation.

Ok, ill give it a try and hopefully it'll work.
Do you know of any way to extract and read the nvram and restore that folder??

Yes, go to DOOGEE Y6 Max - development & support thread by Alberto96. The first page has the method for NVRAM.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-y6-max-development-support-t3509692
Regarding Chamelephon you must enable first developer settings to recover the IMEI. Read here the advice of VladJocker.

I did think the Chamelephon app wasn't worth using, i think i may have even tried it in the past, but thanks anyway.

ahhh thank you i searched for a similar thread but i guess it didnt show up cuz it says asian in the title instead of china
not trying to bump that other thread but the only thing that really tells me is that I'm probably SOL.
so my NEW question is. any possible way I could go about implementing the modem driver from the GT-i9308 into the GT-i9300 rom so I get the google play and full english capabilities without the bloatware in addition to the phone still working?
I'll take that as a no then?

You can root your phone just do not change the modem otherwise your phone will not work. There are several chinese forums (use chrome to translate) that have very easy instructions for rooting which will allow google play to be installed.
Same boat
I am in China and found myself in the same boat..... i hosed my system after mucking about with it ... first android phone ... i am presently putting together all the links and things i did to get mine de china mobilized and google working .. rooted and a custom ROM or two that work... i have a newer hardware version then most people ... most have hardware version 5.0 ... i have 6.0 .... first attempt at rooting was fine... after that i added a rom... backed up and used the same modem firmware .... phone would not get past the start up screen... but thank god i could still put into recovery mode and get back to the firmware screen.. so i knew it could be saved... so i went through the Chinese forums ... no one had the latest hardware version ... but a release of the "official samsung rom" was the reason my phone was the way it was .... so i found another "Official" rom .... as it turned out it put my phone back into a working order ... the other thing is i am using OSX .... i had to muck about with different version of various pieces of software to get it all done... like i said i am throwing together all the links and everything i did to get mine going ... many of these links will require some authentication to Chinese sites .. weibo qq etc ...
I will try to re share the software i have downloaded ..but i am not maintaining them so not sure how good an idea this is...but the links will help the other "whites" as the chinese describe us foreigners in their forums "so easy a white can do it" after translation....
I just wanted to thank those on XDA with their posts ..... they did help, with information that got me going in the right direction.... this is my first Android since a Telus Fascinate .. which i gave to one of my programers/friends on my architecture team to root... other then that a iphone user ... hard to really brick one of these phones if you do the common sense back ups and such...
Once again thank you... i will have a full break down of my adventure in a day or two.... back to my work.
Cheers
some instructions feel free to contact me i will try and help
I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...
I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00
I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.
everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...
Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.
i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.
I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4
i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....
My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.
S2 GT-I9308 Unlock
Hello
Someone gave me an I9308
I'm trying to use it with my French Sim Card. So i need to be able to unlock it.
I've been able to root and install custom firmware as described above.
I've tried to use GalaxySim Unlock application, but it says "Device not recognized"
I've tried to use the "trick" to unlock, but , the current firmware official version on the I9308 is 4.0.4, and with this version, "Network Unlock" is not working.
In order to try the trich with proper version :
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version for I9300, but it fails with modem
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version with modem.img from 4.0.4, it works but the phone is no more booting, it locks at "samsung" logo and vibrate one time pause one seconds, vibrates three times pause one seconds and again.
So two questions :
How to install a newer versions of android when no offcial version have yet been released ?
How to unlock the I9308 with 4.0.4 in it ?
Thanks.
It is the modem drivers that are the problem. China Mobile has not released a official upgrade yet. But I left instructions for rooting in my previous post.

old post late reply, i know but nvm that, anyway if anyone is still interested in this, here i have the right solution. recently i have been collecting some old Samsung phones, i managed to get hold of a Chinese 9308, as u know, all i9300 roms/twrp work on 9308, but can't detect SIM card/mobile network, however i found one version of the MIUI6 roms, so far so good, everything appear to work perfectly, has all languages, Google play services & framework most importantly, 3G works fine too. i will shortly provide links to the downloads.
Would you like please send the link for this MIUI ?

the problem is, i still have to upload them somewhere 1st, as one of the original links is no longer working and although the other one still is (there were two of them), but it was on baidu cloud, both, u need a baidu account to be able to dl stuff, i clearly remember i couldnt download them myself, and i wasnt able to create a baidu account either, but luckily i found someone who could & did download them for me and sent those files to me afterwards, so now we have to work out a way 4 me 2 send those files from my PC to other users out there.
Hello all!
So after much careful consideration I've decided to post this thread.
This thread is for all those people with the Goophone that isn't like the others. The ugly duckling - so to speak.
I purchased a goophone i5 from "efit" from dhgate.com after watching mayianjay's Youtube videos.
http://www.dhgate.com/goophone-i5-m...oid-4/p-ff8080813a071f7b013a594a682b5965.html
Unfortunately the phone WASN'T the same as mayianjay's and NONE of his rom's work with this particular model, even further I couldn't find a CWM or TWRP recovery.img anywhere on the internet that was compatible with this phone, so I thought I'd help out my new friends of XDA and provide you guys with as much information as possible.
The phone model information is as follows (according to Android System Info.apk).
Android Version: 4.2.1
CPU: MT6575
CPU Hardware: MT6577
CPU HardwareP1: MT6575
Resolution: 480 x 854
DPI: 240
Brand: MZ
Device: E939
Model:iphone 5
Now, if this is what your phone looks like then I have good news for you - as you are almost certainly wondering where to find a recovery.img - See the attachment below. You will need flash tools which you can downloaded here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=10599596, alternatively you can try using MobileUncle. For this particular model you just have to have the phone off before commencing the flash with flash tools.
The recovery image provided comes with TWRP and if it STILL doesn't work for you then your only other option is building your own - which can be found reading my dear friend yuweng's post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825722&page=1 - There are alot of tutorials on his post and you can learn much on your endeavor to flashing your phone :victory:
Currently I have been unsuccessful installing any roms as I get "assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img")" when trying to install any ROM, which tells me that there are no supported ROMs for this device yet.
ROM's I've tried..
None from Colonelzap's blog work for this model

Thanks guy for the hard work.
I'm having no problem with my 3G connection out of the box.
But the GPS is not functioning at all.
All you need to do is edit the updater-script and remove those assert lines. That won't overwrite boot.img (which contains the kernel) but it'll allow the ROM to finish its install and you can make a try to see if it works or not. Maybe there's another way to flash boot.img...

Ah I see, I did hear there was a few GPS bugs but they can be fixed apparently, see that Goophone i5 lite rom thread I think this phone has the wrong 3G cell bands for my area (Australia VIC), Even though it says it supports it on the site.. :/ Looks like I'm doomed with the 3G Bug, I've tried copying the APN settings from one phone to another and all. Anyway no problem!

I also have this phone. (Goophone i5 which is MZ E939 model) and my 3G is stuck as well. I did the same thing you did friend - copy the APN's from my samsung galaxy which works perfeclty with 3G and APN's setting. When APN's appeared in goophone menu I was able to listed my GSM providers and I could choose this one I have SIM card inside. Neverthless during the connection I recieve "Unable to connect, try again later"
I did some tests using different apps and all shows that 3G 900mhz is working and is ON. But no success in connecting. It is really annoying when you have your smartfon offline - almost useless
I have the same problem with custom ROMs too. No way to install them - using ROM manager or SP flash tool. - always some error appears.
I tried to install the ROM then it say cannot find path to emmc something like that...

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
rootexplorer.apk
Vending.apk
DOWNLOAD IT HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o838cef8feakno
PS. I rooted the phone before replacing that, using MTKdroidtool
Now I see my phone is slower and the playstore opens but gives me an error when It installs some app (error code 110) which fails eventually.
IF some one can please give me the stock apps in system/app for this phone, I would appreciate.

Anxiously waiting for something, ready to donate as well
Anybody who blocked phone on apple logo or install wrong ROM or anything please try this solution:
wait till phones battery is fully uncharged then plug the phone to charger wait some minutes and press VOL - (minus) together with power button
After few seconds some menu will appears (more or less RECOVERY look like)
Choose CLEAR FLASH option using "MENU" button...
Phone should starts with factory menu and settings.
I did it about ten times and works perfectly in my goophone e939 or whatever it is...

Hi,
my 7 days old lenovo vibe x s960 just got auto-upgraded to android version 4.4.2 (vibeui_v1.5_1416_3_st_s960).
the new rom dose not contains google apps at all. i've tried to install gApps via recovery, but found out to my horror that the recovery is in Chinese.
so now i'm stuck with no contacts,emails,calendar and what not, but i do have a very stupid smartphone.
as i see it, i have 2 options:
1) find a way to change the recovery to english, and head on from there, or
2) find a way to install google apps & services back to my current version, and carry on with my life
any help will be greatly appreciated !
thanks,
Nir

lenovo s960 rooting
Hi all. I have a lenovo vibex s960 and want to root through kingo root. What precautions I must take so that all works fine coz I saw in some posts that after rooting gapps don't work and phone does not function properly. Help me avoid this.
Hi,
This phone is brand new and is the WCDMA version of the Golden Warrior. Best value 4G and spec available in mu opinion.
I had the phone delivered to the UK today from China.
I can't for my life root the phone using any method. I also tried to flash the TWRP from china but no luck. Just goes to the original recovery.
It doesn't come with Gapps which is what I am trying to load.
Anyone can help to translate a rooting/recovery from this forum please? http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8
Actually I managed to flash the recovery and can now root

You have to flash the recovery twice in a row. There is root and gapps in the same forum.
You need to use Google Translate if you can't read chinese.

Can you upload the files and send us the links?
The files I am downloading from the Chinese website are corrupted.
(also if possible to give guide on the chinese TWRP, and what to do with it).
Also it will be very helpful if you could send the exact URL to the Root guide
and the exact URL for the how to install gapps guide.
Thank you.
I'll be needing this in a few weeks, I ordered one yesterday. Coming from an iPhone too, so it'll be a bit different for me, I wanted a cheap powerful 4G/LTE handset and this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
the phone ain't really that great, my piece has at least one dead pixel, shiny slippery back is just horrible (waiting to buy as soon as possible some replacement), headphones output is just horrible with constant noise/hiss not possible to listen unless you are deaf (compared to zero noise in TCL S950), brightness of display is quite weak (again compared to TCL S950) and let's not forget heavily customized Androd 4.4.2 with tons of crappy Lenovo software (unlike Coolpad F1 which has AOSP Kit Kat), but at least after root you can disable the evil Lenovo app Security which will try to make you commit suicide (btw. don't upgrade it, unless you speak Chinese, since Lenovo engineers are so amazing they can't even provide English from within the update and let's not forget horrid English localization in general and missing any other languages than Chinese and English)
here I wrote review of my new Lenovo A8 aka A806 (WCDMA/FDD-LTE) Golden Warrior bought for 111EUR (shame there is nothing available in better body with normal sound even if I would be willing to pay 20-30% extra for design and better sound) and tutorial HOW TO ROOT LENOVO A806/A8 it with links provided (I am using URL shortener service since XDA won't allow me to link my own tutorial because apparently I am spammer when I wanna help other people):
dwz DOT cn/la806root
Oh, yeah and thank you so much XDA for using Recaptcha which is blocked in China, it makes posting anything useful soo much easier from within China.
I reuploaded mtk fladh tool + twrp recovery with img and scatter file to bunch of international mirrors, link to them is in my review and howto root tutorial on my blog linked in my post above. Whole ZIP package is misding only USB driver which is not rrally necessary and its on plenty of websites to dpwnload.

Thank you PeterMarkoff !!
Can you explain me in stage 1: what is "+ choose MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"? I didn't understand what it is and I didn't see this file anywhere else.
Thanks again
I am sorry but because of Recaptcha I must post from mobile (where I have free proxy only for few mins), so can't write long posts and they are full of typos, if you have questions better write on my blog.
Open MTK flash tool, change language to ENG which should there already as well in Settings/General/Download "DA DL All with checksum" should be checked. Then just choose as Download-agent MTK Allinone DA bin which is supplied together with MTK flash tool and Scatter-loading file choose alston_fddopen which is in TWRP Recovery folder. Whole process of flashing 2 times is quite straightforward, only major thing which needs to be said is that battery needs to be removed to completely shut down phone (and do this also when phone starts automatically booting after successful flashing), otherwise it didn't worked for me no matter how many times I successfuly flashed phone there always stayed original Lenovo recovery.
In this Chinese thread you have picture tutorial in first post which is selfexplanatory even in Chinese:
bbs lenovo com/a8/t402705/ (replace missing spaces with dots)
Hahah, I see the guy added also photos for Chinese TWRP for international users, since he saw my posts there. Not sure what is possible to see wihout registration to forum. Here is my screenshot how it should look after successful flashing when you can remove battery and do it for 2nd time and then after 2nd time boot into TWRP recovery.
oi57 tinypic com/2z8tix0.jpg (replace missing spaces with dots)
Btw. yesterday I already tried Xposed, but it informed me that A806 is running probably Aliyun OS (CN crap) fork of Android so it's not recommended to install Xposed to avoid bootlops and other things, which I am not missing since it's similar situation with TCL S950 my wife has, she can't run anything higher than Xposed 2.3.1 otherwise it would end up in bootloop, but at least it seem like proper Android and not some Chinese fork.
Special thank you goes out to my Slovakian friend who lives currently in China. You totally nailed it with your tutorial.
Thanks again to you Markoff :good:
a808t
A have a8 golden warrior but td-scdma version. Is td-scdma hardware related or software? Can I flash a806 firmware with a808t unit? Ty in advance
No, you CAN NOT flash A806 firmware into A808T and vice versa, they are different. But there are actually tons of A808T ROMs on Chinese websites, much more than for A806 which is not that popular option in China. You should also know that 3G and 4G in your phone will work ONLY in China, everywhere else in world you have just 2G phone even without 3G.
ic. Is there a custom recovery in english for a808t/a806? The one I saw the that site is chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im hoping that there's any kindess developer would come out with a stable cm rom for A806

Hello there, I bouth a pptv king 7s and recived it yesterday. I want to install/fastbook TWRP on it so i can pull the original framework from the phone and have a backup. I tried to fastboot the phone with the pptv king 7 TWRP that i found on this forum but it didn't work, i assume its because there is some difference between the 7 and 7s because the 7s has a 3d display.
now my question is. can some of you help me to manage to fastboot the phone so i can pull the original framework from it or does some one else have the original framework? i would like to install TWRP on it later and Xposed Framework.
If i try to install the pptv king 7 framework i will lose all my 3d apps and the 3d wont work and won't be calibrated.
I am willing to try almost everything. And is it possible to install some 3d deep settings like the htc evo 3d (i think?) had.
Thanks.
Edit: the phone is standard rom/firmware and rooted with Kingroot
Edit 2: I found the original Rom here -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8RgrDS it is a really slow download and you need to download some 3rd part program. I will do it and re-upload it here for you guys! i will edit it later.
And to flash the phone you need this flashtool -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1nuUqmIt i will download and re-upload it too!
and some other guy said you could use the 2D rom so i prove the link to the download there too. -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1skUk4Yp

Edit 4: Got TWRP installed now! found out what i did wrong.... SP Flash tool didn't recognize my phone... and i was searching for problems and after a while... i tried to turn off the phone, plug it out, press download button in sp flash tool and then plug the phone in... and it worked! i only flashed the recovery so i can install xposed framework!

This is excellent news, i have been searching for so long for this 7s firmware as i wish to convert my king 7 to a 3d version. They have spares on Banggood lcd screens and full housing, so was going to make this a my new project. Was just missing the firmware. So thank you very much
I also had Trouble flashing through sptool, and thought it was a problem with the mtk drivers as im using win 10, so i decided to flash twrp with flashify instead which worked a treat. Then did the normal flashing Su and Rom through twrp. Never used fastboot method, im quite new to flashing these chinese phones so i'm a bit cautious to try methods that im not to sure about.
I have cm13 on my king 7 now, but wish to convert it to the 3d version once my spares are ordered and are with me. But before i do this, do you think there's a possibility this would work? As the phones have physically the same hardware minus the 3d screen and firmware, so i shouldn't see why i couldn't work.

Yes, i think it would work, because its the same components except the 3d screen, the framework have a different driver that tells the phone what to do and when

I thank you for the links above, but i think that is just a bit to much for me, i don't want to make a mistake, especially as it's in a different language.
Wish it was a bit more simple than the method in the video. If you could get the Rom and share, i would be very grateful.

Thank you for the links you have provided. I managed to install the flyme Rom, but quickly uninstalled again. Rom insn't optimized for the king 7 and there's no support for the three main buttons For Android (Back, home and menu) its a big shame that most chinese phone manufacturers mainly use apple based os's which really makes me annoyed. I heard there's a patch on a Russian forum for the buttons issue. But i think i will just stick with Cm 13 for now.
What is this zip you have posted? Is this another Rom? If so, is it working ok? Curious to know before flashing...
And i have some mtk drivers installed, but they're not working for me so unable to use sptool to flash any official Roms. Just using Twrp atm which i prefer
If you can link me to some that actually work, i would be grateful.

Oh dear, it looks like you have a normal King 7 NOT a 7's, if you had a 7's version, you would have a 3D gallery and other 3D software within the phone. Also it states only KING 7 not KING 7s the build number says PP6000(2D) if it was a 7s with 3D it would say PP6000(3D)
I would contact the supplier and demand a refund or a partial refund, did you buy from Gearbest by any chance?? I was speaking to someone on HUKD forums regarding this exact same issue and he received a partial refund of just £20!
I would keep pushing for more, as they have sold you the wrong product which is very misleading. Check AliExpress.com for spares, they have a 3D replacement screen for sale as well as full spare housing to make the switch to a 3D model (If you wanted)
I have yet to find a tear down tutorial to follow before i try this myself
So it isn't a Rom you posted?
@ fleebleflam
Yes I bought it at gearbest, I asked them if it was a King 7S, it answered me Yes
