I want to know too. I have a Chinese dual SIM which I would like to update. Is there a standard or generic Android OS updater?

Of course not. There are many different devices, so is very difficult develop a tool like that.
To both: The updates are device-dependant, so you need to wait for updates from your manufacturer device. However, you can try a ROM developed for the chipset of your device (you can get the model using CPU Identifier). Of course, this way gives no guaranties of good functionality.

[Q] How to clean Chinese Mega (i9200) and add google apps?

I got the 6.3 MEGA in China (i9200 or JDQ39.I9200ZNUAMI2 to be exact) and while it's mostly in English, it still has all sorts of Chinese apps and texts on it and no Google Play store, Google Maps, etc. What's the best way to clean this up and add Google apps to it?
Is there a basic stock English language ROM with google apps that I could use and how (I've rooted and updated my devices before but never changed the base ROM)?
Thanks.
well, i was able to root with kingo android root program, and then installed google play store and services using this solution.
the phone still has a ton of samsung and chinese bloatware that i may just remove manually, but i think maybe i should just flash it with a new, clean rom - only hesitating because i've never done it before and afraid i might brick my new phone.
i was thinking of trying the unofficial CyanogenMod11 : [4.4.2] for GT-I9200/I9205 - it should work, right?

I8552 Chinese - No Google Play Solution with Change of Stock ROM

Neewbie here,
Have a quick question. UK user, purchased a Chinese Samsung Galaxy Win (dual sim) GT-I8552. Unfortunately, I dont think its going to come with the Google Play app.
Im not interested in installing custom roms, custom recovery modules etc, all I desire is to be able to access the Play store to restore my purchased apps on old Android phone!
Is there any way I will be able to install a Stock from FROM A DIFFERENT REGION to the Phone, or am I stuck with no google play or having to install a custom rom (which I believe from searches, a stable version doesnt exist at present for the I8552!). I am planning on using the standard Samsung Tools to install the Stock ROM from a different region.
The phones specs and hardware are identical, apart from the Internal memory, which is 4Gb as opposed to 8Gb on the non Chinese model....
Thanks in advance, as a newb I couldnt post this to the Dev side, if any Android XDA developers could repost in dev if I dont get an answer on the general forum....
Thanks in advance!
Download it as APK

Without installing any ROM or doing anything dangerous, you can get the APK of the Play Store.
Here is a link for the latest one as for today (4.6.16) : goo. gl/IF8SoA
Download it and open it from your phone and install it and it should work.
If it didn't work, you have other alternatives such as Aptoide.
If you don't have the Google Play store, then most probably you don't have the Google Play Services package. For this, you may need to root your device and install it as a zip, or google Gapps for your device and download each APK by itself.

MPIE M15 MTK6595 need advice

Hello,
i recently bought a smartphone from Ali.
It's a MPIE M15 with MTK6595 (CPU-z is agree). Here's the specs :
Android Version : 5.0.0
Baseband : MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V43, 2014/09/17 10:10
Kernel : 3.4.67 [email protected] #1
Build Number : A100-HYDY 20150627-155331
Custom Build Version : 1435391497
Hardware : mt6595
After test, it's already rooted, i can access to Android Recovery.
The problem is that the installed rom is a Chinese Android version.
i want to install the factory Android Lollipop, but i cant find any version for my phone.
CyanogenMod installation via recovery have a OTA error..
So with my specs, is that possible to run another rom, like the Official Android (5.1?) and how to do it?
Thanks for your answer
Update
I understand that i have to install a custom recovery, but now i have a new problem..
MTK Droid Tools says the hardware is fake in Kernel or Firmware rolleyes not corresponding to the phone..
How to format all the phone, i want the Android Official Firmware on it, how to do that please ?..
OK MTK Droid Tools recognize my phone now. I do the backup for a custom TWRP recovery. if anyone know a link the original image of android .zip, thank you to tell me..
i continue :cyclops:

Please write if you find the program Im interested in purchasing that phone, but don't want to learn chinese
By the way, how that phone looks like in real life? All options works normally?
Hello, after two days working on the phone, i'm almost there.
First, this phone is faking his own components.
It's sold for a MTK6595, in fact it's a MTK6572. Same for Android, it's KitKat, not Lollipop. Not sure about the RAM (maybe 2Go). 1 virus app (AVG). Chinese stuff installed. I bought it 85$ from Ali (i understand now^^). The Camera is sh**, really! (but photo is not a prob for me).
Im not an experimented dev, the phone seems to be block somewhere, it's very hard to launch a custom recovery. I extracted the Stock ROM with MTK Droid Tools.
Finally, I install a custom recovery after a day of search, the Carvil Touchscreen and make it stable for the mPie. Now i want to install a Custom Rom on it, after replace the boot.img from Stock to Port, i have to modify the kernel, i will see..
If i managed a custom rom to get worked, i will post a tuto, if someones are interested
i continue :cyclops:

If anybody got scammed with the Mpie M15, i backup my device 10 times, i have a stock rom for

ZTE Z233v Question

I have noticed that this device runs a spin-off version of android 5 but has a lot of things disabled. How can I enable developer mode on the phone. It is a flip phone running a android os but you can not seems to enable the developer mode by the usual method. It also does not seem to have the full version of android but somebody had told me possibly Cintrine OS since it is a ZTE. What file extension does this thing use? Is it even possible to install apps and the full android OS on it?
