I bought a knockoff iPhone 5S from AliExpress, and it has an iOS 7 interface but it's very slow and laggy. So I decided to look for a custom ROM that is more like AOSP.
Some info about this knockoff:
Model: MF353ZP/A
Build: ALPS.JB3.MP.V1
MT6572 @ 1 GHz
512 MB RAM
2 GB ROM
Internal MicroSD expansion
The problem is, it's very hard to find a custom ROM, and even the closest thing that I could find for an MT6572 based knockoff iPhone 5S looks quite different in system structure than the one that I own. Here is the SPFlashTool scatter file for one of my backups:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is the scatter file to the closest custom ROM for an MT6572 knockoff iPhone 5S:
The custom ROM has different addresses, and some extra files like "MBR" and "EBR1".
How can I get any custom ROM to work without bricking my phone?
I have the exact same device and gave up on looking for ROMs as none of the ROMs actually work for this device.
I've spent weeks digging into the hardware aspects of the phone and heres what i know so far.
Processor: MTK 6572 1GHz
RAM: 512 MB (2GB is fake)
Filesystem: NAND (with UBIFS) So don't bother flashing Jeralds ROM thats for emmc + ext4 based phone. 100% guaranteed hard brick if you do flash it.
* Impossible to flash CWM. Tried MTKDroidTools UBIFS not supported, tried CTR 1.1, 2.1 with no luck.
* Tried to use Thunderbolt script to speed it up, won't work on this device since the kernel don't support it.
INCOMPATIBLE ROM NAMES (DONT BOTHER WITH FLASHING THESE)
- 20140102-v02 - EMMC based ROM
- A135MW_BS_V1.4_P1MB4_20131212_ML - closest i can find NAND + UBIFS.. Will flash but bricked, wont turn on at all. If i just flash system.img apps crashes.
- Goophone_i5s_mt6572_jerald - EMMC based ROM
- MF353ZPA Rar - EXT4 based ROM
- 谷蜂定制E09_GH_CN_6572_SV1.2.1_HV2.0_E09JB0F_V02_2013131203-i5sGF - NAND based, will flash but bricked, wont turn on.
Currently i'm thinking to modify the ROM by opening System.img up, but i couldn't find a proper guide or software to open up the UBIFS image, tried mounting with Ubuntu but it simply won't attach.
Our device is not Goophone, ZoPhone, KiPhone or any "branded" knock offs, did some research and the closest "brand" i could relate it to is simply called Mi5S. Google that and you'll find some russian thread detailing about it.

Yeah, it's one of those fake Goophones - a fake knockoff.
Why is it that the MT6572 is clocked in at 1 GHz, when on paper it should be 1.2 GHz? It's an ARM v7 and supposedly has a Mali MP-400 GPU, so it can't be the MT6577 which is actually 1 GHz.

No idea why its clocked at 1 GHz. Its definitely not MT6577 thats for sure.. In the mean time, just a small update, the A135MW ROM i mentioned earlier seems to work, didnt work earlier as i forgot to wipe the device thats why apps crashes, last night I found a slightly better ROM thats very close to our device. I believe our device is codenamed A132MW below is a Google Drive folder shared by one of the russian dude on a russian thread.
1. Open up MF353ZP > A135W_ML_BS
2. Download "i5s.RU.WaReZ.Edition.zip".
3. Unpack it but don't flash all the files (else the phone won't boot or soft bricked)
4. Select your stock ROM that you dumped from MTKDroidTools, but change the System.img with downloaded one, wipe data, cache etc.
ROM is slightly faster but still not up to my expectation.
Inside that Google Drive is a lot of CWM variants, i've tried all of them (both TWRP and CTR) but none seems to work.
Our phone belongs to the "Mi5S" "A132MW NAND UBIFS" variant. Other variants as below (all MT6572, 512MB)
1. A135MW NAND (FS=UBIFS. Barely any difference except the CPU is clocked at 1.2 GHz, System.img is compatible with our phones.)
2. A135 NAND (FS=UBIFS. CPU is clocked at 1 GHz, System.img is compatible with our phone)
3. A135 EMMC (FS=Ext4. Extremely similar to the real GooPhone, roms are intercompatible)
4. A132 EMMC (FS= Ext4. Same as our phones, but emmc+ext4)
Another A132MW ROM just surfaced on Needrom.com but I've yet to try. Will try and report back later.
For the Google Drive Link > drive.google.com/?authuser=0#folders/0B8j-5CDP-TrebXo2ei1COUpPNTA
NeedROM newly surfaced ROM > needrom.com/mobile/iphone-i5s-mf353zp-a-a132-mb4-v1-1
Sounds promising! I have to reconfigure my computer's drivers to detect the MT65xx bootloader thing first before I can try any of the ROMs.
I think my i5S is codenamed A135MW, not A132MW. What shows up when you dial *#3322# into the dialer?
Ugh, my eyes hurt. I'll try another day.
I pressed the download button, plugged in my i5S (turned off) and this is what I see:
@hackerwayne, do you know what's wrong?

Yes, wheres your recovery.img?
And if yours is A135MW, just flash the whole package except the preloader.. Just in case.

Sorry, didnt state it clearly on the last post.. Im talking about the A135MW firmware on the russian Google Drive. And if yours is a A135MW, you've got a better chance as theres TWRP and CTR for this model.

Just checked with the *#3322#.. Apparently mines too A135 but its another variant @ A135W_ML_BS, things just got a little bit more interesting.. Ill check that with the russian thread and see whats different.

I've tried flashing one of the TWRP recovery images from that Google Drive folder, only to be met with the same error. I'm using the original preloader, just to be safe. Just last night I successfully flashed a new ROM to a STAR N9589 using SP Flash Tool, but this i5S is being a pain.
The Google Drive folder has had some edits made to the folder's titles. The 'A135' folder now only has the TWRP recovery image, and the 'A135_ML_BS' folder now has all those ROMs. Maybe I can use one of those stock official updates?

Looks very similar. On the AliExpress page, it says that it can get 10359 in Antutu. Mine only gets about 8500.
There were ROMs in the post that @hackerwayne posted, but I can't seem to get ROMs nor recoveries to work on my i5S;
I replaced the top and bottom "glass" inserts with real glass iPhone 5S ones. The top one was cracked because I pressed the reset button (the hole in between the camera and the flash) with something that was too big.
It looks much nicer now!

Different computer, but same problem:
Fixed error 8038, flashing either TWRP or CTR breaks the recovery. It reboots itself.
New error now; error 4017 when flashing system.img. I get the same error when flashing the backup stock and the custom ROM.

Is this your stock rom or the rom from the drive? Did you dump the rom correctly?

It's my dumped ROM, and I'm pretty sure I dumped the ROM correctly. I also used MTKDroidTools to prepare the blocks for FlashTool and everything, but it still doesn't work.

Anyone? Plz tell me how to do it.
The device is already rooted from the factory. Just install super user and update the binaries.
Beelink mini mxiii change rom
Thnks for the info.
Can you please tell if it is possible to change the rom?
Again, thank you.
Just in case anyone is still figuring out to root/upgrade this - I managed to install Android 6.0.1 on my mini mx-g (16/2) by flashing Ugoos AM1 1.1.1 from their official website here; Mini mx (8/1) can flash AM2 1.1.1 instead
To flash TWRP, you'll need KIII Pro Android 6 TWRP which you can get from the file attached... (unable to find the original thread link! ):
SuperSU will be pre-installed in the above rom, but one can also install magisk by flashing the TWRP and getting the boot.img file from the file browser (also attached mine if it helps)
I also wanted to enable sony dual shock wireless support which was possible after following the guide in this amazing blog - Connecting ps4 dualshock joystick via Bluetooth to Android
Hope this helps someone!
Bonus: My intention was to run Google Stadia, unfortunately device too weak.
Could someone help me with flashing MXIII s802, 2gb, with custom lollipop rom .. there's a issues with some app installation on kitkat, like smart iptv, so I need lollipop badly. Device is already rooted.
any advice would be appreciate!
thanks!

Perhaps can you give a hint which firmware 5.0 or 5.1.1 based is working on this box?
In addition I have the problem to find even the proper firmware based on 4.4.2 android.
I have device MXIII 4k, s802, 2gb with the mainboard Nexteon. Maybe somebody knows which firmware will work properly? (it is realy hard to find one :/)
Thx in advance!

HI. To be hones i can't find any chip information. It is the chip next to the soldered antena? (I marked in on foto with black rectangle) If yes then on this item is just a number "4517G1 D322C9 " without information about the producer like Broadcom or Realtek:/
I'm attaching the better foto and one with marked item (I hope this is a chip which you asked?).

Ok. Good to know that I should stay on KITKAT.
Unfortunately next to by attempts to flash it to 5.0 I bricked my device :/.
Do you have a proper Kitkat IMG to flash it by the usage of Amlogic_Burning_Tool (I'm using 2.0.5 version) or different method to make this device alive again? I searched and can't find proper IMG
Firstly It was KOT49H test build but I can't find KOT49H build version in .img format for this device. (every flash attempt with different roms ended on 3% with USB controller error, I tried also on different PC to avoid drivers problem.)
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion but It is still not working.
Firstly I try to flash it by sdcard method by using "TRONFY_TVB_MXQ_CARD_USB_VERSION_FULLY_LOADED_V111k4_20150706" rom. It booted with GoogleTV logo then this logo disappears, the led light was still blue but without additional reaction. After 5 minutes I turned it off because nothing have happened.
Now it is worse it is not booting with sdcard anymore :/
So I'm trying to flash it by the usage of Amlogic USB_Burning_Tool (version 2.0.6.2_build2) but doesn't meter which .img i'm selecting it is still crashing on 3% with the error: [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error.
I tried to investigate it and what is strange for me:
1) The device is recognized properly by Amlogic USB_Burning_Tool (with the status connected) without pressing the reset button.
2) On this 3% burning step it looks that the device is disconnecting and connecting again (based on windows manager devices)
3) I thought that the drivers problem and the system version problem, but i tried even with windows xp and the result is similar :/
4) When I connecting with OTG the computer recognizes it and says M8 chip en after WorldCup device.
5) This device I received on the box as here --> http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/UT8Qpjy...th=1000&hash=c2b99badfc18fab45c64c5c6943e6140 with the description that it is Android KitKat QuadCortex-A9 OCta Mali-450. Maybe I should try the firmware for different device?
I have read somewhere that this 3% error is often when the firmware image is wrong for the device but also it met one post that device is connecting with windows on wrong condition and it is impossible to flash it then...
Below i'm attaching the list of .IMG files with I tried to flash:
Code:
MXIII_113K4.img
Tronsmart MXIII_115k4_20150603.img
Do you have idea how to resurrect my device?
Thx in advance!

5) This device I received on the box as here --> http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/UT8Qpjy...th=1000&hash=c2b99badfc18fab45c64c5c6943e6140 with the description that it is Android KitKat QuadCortex-A9 OCta Mali-450. Maybe I should try the firmware for different device?
I have read somewhere that this 3% error is often when the firmware image is wrong for the device but also it met one post that device is connecting with windows on wrong condition and it is impossible to flash it then...
Below i'm attaching the list of .IMG files with I tried to flash:
Code:
MXIII_113K4.img
Tronsmart MXIII_115k4_20150603.img
Do you have idea how to resurrect my device?
Thx in advance!

first of all you need to tell me what mxiii you have exactly 2ram or 1ram?
secondly i lost the use of flashing us sd card many times, it drove me crazy till i found the right firmware and flashed the device using usb burning tool.
send pictures of your device. infos and i hope we will get this sorted out in less than 24 hours.
next time you see the google logo, unplug and plug the cable again.
cheers.

I haven't taken a look inside but I'm pretty sure that I have the exact same box (arrived in same packaging and has exactly the same specs). Any progress in getting 5.x working? The only reason why I bought this box was to use the DirecTV app and it stutters like crazy. It's the only thing about the box that's slow, which is very annoying. Hoping 5.x will fix that (if it can be flashed).

The fact of being slow isn't unfortunately the OS but the hardware. Many Chinese folks who sells the boxes and to whom i spoke to, have confirmed that few lollipop versions running in few specific boxes with amlogic s802 have more issues than the ones with kitkat.
The hardware won't handle the lollipop.

Thx ataraxioss but you send me wrong rom? This one looks like for the sdcard method. Inside it isn't any .img (except of recovery.img) file to flash the rom via USB_Burning_Tool, or it is a special method how to flash it?
Inside the package which you send me it is:
Code:
factory_update_param.aml
k200C-ota-20151211.zip
recovery.img
u-boot.bin
Thx in advance for the answer.
Cheers

Hi ataraxioss,
Now the content of the zip is better because it achieves the aml_upgrade_package.img file.
Unfortunately still it looks as incorrect ROM or something else ;/
It is still crashing on 3% of crashing process with the error as below:
Code:
[08:16:46 083][HUB2-4][Inf]--RunInRam succeed
[08:16:51 090][HUB2-4][Err]--IOCTL_DO_LARGE_MEM_Handler ret=-5 error_msg=libusb0-dll:err [control_msg] sending control message failed

[08:16:51 594][HUB2-4][Err]--[08:16:51 594][HUB2-4][Inf]--Failure : 2, FailureMax : 3
[08:16:52 105][HUB2-4][Err]--usb_get_configuration ret=-5 error_msg=sending get cached configuration ioctl failed, win error: It is not possible to find the proper file.
[08:16:52 105][HUB2-4][Inf]--Failure : 3, FailureMax : 3
[08:16:52 105][HUB2-4][Err]--[0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error
If it will be helpful I can attach the whole log.
I disabled also the power saving on USB ports, reinstalled USB Burning tool to new version v2.0.5.15. Badly i'm get still the same result
I have still the impression that the ROM .img is incorrect
Maybe you have different idea and/or different rom to test ?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
I bought a 7" tablet from a retail store, but it won't update to a newer version of android using the update options on the device.
It appears to have a custom chinese version at the moment.
Can anyone help me update this table via adb ? it has an upgrade via adb option in the recovery boot screen.
i bought mine with lollipop on,so it stand to reason they have the same specs,so 5.0 can go on it

Thanks for the reply, do you know if there is a guide on how to do an update for this device? Sorry when it comes to these types of problems, i'm not always sure what steps to follow
the thing is its a mtk device so you gonna need 3 tools apps for pc and files
firstly you gonna need the the lollipop file to flash,where to get that i have no clue( i think its packed differently than my samsung cm12 files i work with.then you gonna need the flashing software for mtk devices and your gonna need bootloader unlocked and some drivers for your OS.I fixed a mtk device a few months back and i do have all the files names somewhere.
1-mediatek vcom drivers
2-scatter file(device specific)
3-lollipop img file
4-mtk droid tools
guides are on this site and google,thats how i fixed a bricked pixie2 phone

Hello Everyone,
Got a TV box lying around unused after subscription expired. It it possible to flash a firmware, with devices of closer spec?
Its based on Amlogic S812-NV processor, Samsung DDR3-1600 2GB RAM, Toshiba 16GB eMMC, Realtek RTL8192DU WiFi-chipset.
Did UART and attached the log herewith. Any directions on how to make i can install something like open source openelec, kodi etc?
You install firmware with usb burning tool

This is a generic TV box, not a branded one. There is no firmware from the TV company. The software runs on top of android, i cant access any android setting or recovery settings.
Toothpick method doesn't take me to recovery, it just loads the software/channels.
USB burning tool works, but always have error at 2% 0x1010504 Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/Error
Same software for Amlogic s812
