Hi All,
Firstly i read about a memory issue and not being able to store apps on the external memory.
I then read if the phone is rooted you can.
Is it safe to root?
Will it void the warranty seeing im just getting the phone today?
I also read about battery issues with 4G do you recommend a good place to get another battery seeing 4G can not be turned off?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same 4G Telstra model awesome phone coming from the iphone4 :laugh:
I did these steps first

its perfectly safe if you ever need to send back for a repair you just flash back too
the original Telstra firmware and run tringleaway app off google play store
Hi,
Thanks for that.
Im just worried about having only 16gb internal.
If i root i then can install apps to external memory rather then internal is that correct?
Cheers

From my experience you only really need to worry about the space if you are installing large games that are a gb or two each. If you go into settings applications and select the app some will have the option to move to SD card, but if you want to use an app like GL to SD then you will need root access. This app will move the large game files to the external sd

Hey guys, I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 for my birthday but unfortunately I found out it was a clone.
It has all these Chinese apps installed and I want to get rid of them to make space since it is using all my 18GB and only
leaving me with 2GB. I was told I had to root it but I have no idea how to do it.
Any advice?
There are dozens of S4 clones. You have to find out some more info before you try and root it. It's also a really good idea to download the stock firmware if we can determine what it is, so if something doesn't go right, you can recover. Only thing worse than apps you don't want is a phone that doesn't work.
Go to your Settings > About Phone section and screenshot everything about the android version, baseband version, build version, kernel version etc.
Sometimes they get really clever and fake that stuff too, but since there are already Chinese apps installed, doesn't seem like they went all in like that.
I bought a TCL S720T from China about two weeks ago. It has 4.2.2 with 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM and is based on MT6592. When I first got the phone, the internal storage was displayed as about 5.9GB out of which most (about 5.85GB) was available. I would like to mention here that when I connected my phone to the PC thru a USB cable, the total internal storage was also shown as 5.9GB on PC.
I did the following to the phone and now I am in trouble... plz help
As I bought it from China, it did not have Google apps. I rooted the phone to get these installed. During rooting I deleted some useful original apps.
I tried to restore the phone to factory settings but the deleted apps did not return (I do not know what did I do wrong). I started to search for phone's stock ROM but could not find it. Also all information on the web is in Chinese and that too no accessible from where I live.
After a couple of days, I found a ROM on "lewaos" website. It was translated from Chinese to "S720T Le Frog bottom package. Zip" and the website claimed that it was the original ROM. I thought that it is the actual ROM by TCL so I flashed it using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1343.01. When the system rebooted, the radio was not working as the baseband was missing, however, the total internal storage was shown as about 4.90GB. I just want to mention here that I never backed up my original ROM (bad on my part).
There was another ROM update given on the same website for installation using external SD card. So, I installed the ROM, but this time the total internal storage wasshown as 1.09GB out of which 1GB was available. I got worried and tried to find other ROMs to fix the issue. I found some ROMs from website named "needrom" and tried them too. Whenever I use flash tool to load the ROM which I got from LEWA website, the phone shows 4.9GB internal storage but the phone radio does not work. However, as soon as I install any ROM using SD card, the internal storage is shown close to 1.1GB. I have even downloaded the official ROM update from "tclmobile" website and installed it using SD card, but the internal storage is still shown as 1.1GB. Also, whenever I connect my phone to PC thru the USB cable, the total internal storage is shown as 1.1GB out of which about 1GB is free.
While installing ROM thru SD card, I have always adopted the process of wiping the factory settings and cache in the recovery mode.
I would also like to mention here that during the process of loading ROMs, I lost the radio operation due to invalid IMEI, which I later restored using AT+... commands (thanks to xda-developer forums).
Having said all that let me summarize my problems:-
I have lost the original Stock ROM of my phone and no support is available outside China.
Whenever I install ROMs through SD card, the internal storage is 1.1GB, I want my actual internal storage ie 5.9GB back.
Please help me to fix my phone
Thanks
Maybe we can help each other i have a backup may work for you...
Hey what up dude,
I have exact phone, and similar issue. no backup, but I have a horrible boot loop for one MONTH now, I am going crazy, even the guys at china-devices.com are not much help. (But may help your problem).
I can't backup but i can access stock recovery and NEED to install CWM recovery via SD as the bootloop just blocks all attempts to connect the phone to the PC. I cant see my phone data but i know i have your ROM and model, using TCL factoryware. Octo the whole nine yards.
Another long time friend has a TCL S720T and he sent me a zip of a ROM backup he made. I can pass it to you via wetransfer or email attachment.
Note that his backup is UN-rooted so it should work OK, and be 'pure' maybe some factory crapware he wiped off it. and you will likely need to fix the IMEI issue, (or maybe not, and I am a newb so can't help you there, yet).
In return, could you tell me how you fixed your issue, what exact tools you used, and so on? Sepecially if used MTK driod tools what version and SP flashtools what version any and all info will be great thanks.
There is an app you can istall that shows you which apk are system apps and not to touch, i had it installed, but i am lord of the idiots, and went ahead and deleted the chinese keyboard, hey presto, one really great phone I had almost totally customised my way, now in a month-long boot loop and may never recover.
Wow. It was amazing to hear that someone else also has this phone but was sad to know that you are also facing problems. Please contact me on [email protected]. I will first try to resolve your issues then will post those solutions on xda.
By the way, I have resolved all my issues and my phone is up and running like anything. Thanks to android lovers all over the world. I will try to give you solutions one by one.
SOLVED! & Thanks Muiz!
SOLVED with this tutuorial... all credit to the OP, Muiz, I'm only passing it forward, this is a GREAT phone, hope to see more users soon!
If we address your first problem of not being able to boot the phone at all, I will propose to go to this link (use any English translator if you do not read Chinese) ... you may use www.micrsofttranslator.com
http://bbs.lewaos.com/learn-s720t.html
You will find these steps in a tutorial.
1, download the ROM and put it into the SD card root directory (on computer operation)
Download LeWa_TCL_S720T_JB2_ROM__XXXXX.zip ( from bbs.lewaos.com) and copy ROM package in zip format to phone external SD card root directory.
2, download the Flash tool latest version and unzip it to the desktop (computer operation)
Download SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01, and extract it to your computer desktop.
3, download music frog end of packet (on computer operation) lewaos.com
Download end of Le frog, S720T package. zip and extract it to your computer desktop. lewaos.com
4, download and install the Flash drive Download MT65xx flash drive _ automatically installed. rar (lewaos.com ), and extract it to your computer desktop, double-click the InstallDriver.exe folder is automatically installed
If you desire to install any un-rooted original backup you have, to your phone, do not download the file in step 1.
To make the tutorial short; first install the drivers as mentioned in step 4. Then extract the file mentioned in step 3 in a folder on your desktop. Extract and start the flash tools utility and give the path of the folder you copied on your desktop. There is going to be a sort of file with name “MT6592_Android_scatter.txt”. Use its path to flash the ROM.
You will have to wait for some time, but the Flash tools will install the LEWA ROM on your phone.
rooting
can this be rooted with stock rom on it
what does the different roms look like, photos please
ok guys i have tcl s720 without the "t" whats the difference? i went to the chinese website & had a look around with an english translator & i see downloads for s720t but none for s720 .
i recently changed my rom from what it arrived with as play store didnt work & push notifications so i flashed successfully this rom
wwwdotneedromdotcom/download/tcl-720t-cm11-v2-w200s-lstyle-port/
this is ported from THL w200s which works well just a few slight issues with storage etc but better than what i had as play store works
what im also looking for is there actually a fully working rom for the s720 ? & where can i get a fully working stock rom for this phone? yes i have searched tirelessly but roms i checkout seem to have quite a few bugs so im just looking for a good stable one.
apart from few issues this phone im more than satisfied with

Guys,
Yesterday my cousin, who lives in Korea, gave me his old LG-KU5900 smartphone.
Phone is good. Has 1 GB internal storage, has a 5.5 GB SD card along with it.
But problem is I cannot install WhatsApp on it because it when I try to install, it says that my current Android version is not compatible.
The current Android version on this phone is Android 2.2.2.
How can I be able to install WhatsApp on it and if not then can I upgrade it using some tool/procedure?
I have previously flashed/installed custom ROMS on my HTC set, but don't know how to do that for LG.
Can someone please guide. Many thanks in advance.
I used flash tool to upgrade Oukitel C5 Pro (16GB ROM) from Android stock 6.0 to 7.0. Now when I go to settings - Storage Settings, it tells me 7.83 GB total used of 16.0 GB. When I go in for details I have 2.55 GB apps and the other items listed (images, videos, audio, other, cached data) are minimum.
Would just appreciate a confirmation that this is correct?, so I can continue setting up phone. I think I had a lot more free before the upgrade. Is about 5 GB correct for Android 7 to use. Maybe the extra partition for the seamless updates?
Or is there something hanging around from the upgrade?
I used "firmware update" and default options (all items ticked) in flash tool. I have tried a clear cache partition but made no difference.
(I asked in the device specific thread but there is not much traffic there.)
EDIT: Seems to be correct. Found an app that shows 3.78GB reserved for Android and 10.9 for apps and files giving a total of 14.68GB, which of course is 16GB unformatted.
