I have a cheap china clone of the Samsung S3 phone. It claims to be:
Model GT-i9300
Android version 4.1.1
BASEBAND VERSION - MAU1.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V12.2012/09/20 18:56
kernel3.0.13 - [email protected] #1 wed feb 27 14.44.52 cst 2013
build number - ALPS.ICS.MP.V2.6
CUSTOM BUILD 001130227
DEVELOPER DEVICE ID - JA56-JNR6-NEDN-C
Am not too sure about the Android version, maybe 4.0.3 and someone altered the build.prop to make the phone sell better. Phone came with a fake Antutu program to display fake results. Can anyone advise how to actually check the system for correct version?
It has an MTK6575 CPU(appears to be 1.2MHz), single micro-sim, with 540 by 960 display, front and rear cameras.
Came with many software problems, have managed to get the WiFi stable, however still some problems with the GPS chip, but eventually got YGPS to obtain a fix and give me a location – but very unreliable. Not managed to get any other software to work.
PROBLEM 1
However, when I use google Maps, it always want to install the Google Play Services, so that it has the V2. This always fails due to error "incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID".
It seems to be complaining about Google Framework as this and play services both specify
<shared-user name="com.google.uid.shared" > - not found any other programs/system bits using shared ID's
could a poorly doctored build.prop be causing this?
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
PROBLEM 2
The other problem I have noticed is that MediaTek seem to have their own location services. In mobile tools, engineering mode, there is an option to use either Google or MediaTek. If I specify Google, it states that the goggle Netloc and Geocoder services’ Fail to bind’, but no problem with the MediaTek drivers? As MediaTek only divert their traffic to Google anyway, it would seem more sensible to bind with google direct.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

the problem seems to be with the firmware and build search the net for a stock firmware for your phone if there is one and flash may be that helps

The problem with these 'unnamed' clones is that there isn't any stock firmware, you get only what it comes with. Usually this is 'defective' as they rush to sell the phones while there is still a demand for them, and never get the firmware working properly. So some advice if you are looking for a smartphone/tablet, ONLY BUY ONE WITH SOME SORT OF AFTER SALES SUPPORT! Check the forums and see what phones have stock ROMS that are being actively developed.
PROBLEM 3
The LocationManger never reports any 'NETWORK' location. Wrote software to check it, can get a location when I run this on a tablet with only a WiFi connection, but on this phone with both WiFi and Cell, no location provided.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
Update
PROBLEM 1 - SOLVED
guessed that it was really ICS and not JB, so loaded gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip with CMW
this got over the shared user ID problem.
However, lost the IMEI number when doing this, (maybe clearing dalvik, not looked into) so reinstated with the MTKDroidTools.
SO RECORD YOUR IMEI BEFORE applying update.
Now thinks it is dual sim version, but that doesn't seem to matter
Now using the new Google Location software, GPS fix from COLD within 2 mins.
so problems 2 and 3 seem immaterial now.
see this post for solution to fix problem 1 ... created by brother @praderj

Hello everyone,
For several months I've been following the posts here in the forum and had always the impression that here useful
Information can be found. But with my smartphones I did'nt come further on. I'm just not sure because I
previously had a simple and untapped mobile. Android is also new to me, such as the operation of the devices.
On top of that I have no idea what in fact the devices are and how I could find out. For this it seems to me, must be
the first important step eg to connect the phone to the PC. - Clear that I need a drive, but what kind of?
What I tried so far, unfortunately, failed.
I received both devices as a gift and in both cases it is a Samsung Galaxy - Clone, that were purchased in China.
What I have noticed so far, is the constant change of the MAC - addresses, which always attracts new IP addresses to itself.
The latter I have to delete every few days in the home network overview of my router, which is quite annoying.
I would like to change this, but I read that root privileges are needed for.
I know now that therefore apps are existing and also that they can not be used with any device.
Also, I think I can remember that the smartphone must be connected for this purpose via USB, which in turn requires drivers
the need to adapt. My PC recognizes the smartphones currently not at all, so I would be grateful for any help.
Perhaps someone here knows, which devices it could be, what drivers are to use and how I can get root privileges.
The only information that I can do to the equipment, are those that can be read directly on the device, because to packaging really
everything seems like Samsung - made originals. Therefore, here are a few information that may be useful perhaps:
1. Samsung Galaxy S4 clone (GT i9500)
Over the phone:
- Model Number: GT-I9500
- Android Version: 4.4.4
- Baseband - Version: I9500XXUAMDE, 03/07/2014 11:17
- Kernel - Version: 3.4.5
root @ Sanstar desktop # 1
Fri Mar 7 13:59:02 CST 2014
- Build - Number: JDQ39 I9500XXUAMDE
- Customize build version: 1395388007
2. Samsung Galaxy S5 Clone (SM-G900)
Over the phone:
- Model Number: SM - G900
- Android Version: 4.4.2
- Baseband - Version: G900ZCUBMI3
- Kernel - version: 3.4.0-1590669

Wed May 28 10:25:51 CST 2014

So I hope that I' m half right at this point in the forum.

Hello experts,
I've a 'pleasure' to use Kiano Pro 7 Dual tablet. Since there's no support from manufacturer side, I'd like to update my device on my own.
I've gone through many topics on this forum but I didn't find any information regarding this particular tablet. There're only some information about Kiano Pro 10 Dual and I'm not sure how information about that model are relevant to my device.
First of all, I'll try to summarize all collected information:
- Before I'll proceed to upgrading, I should do a backup of my device. Unfortunately, I've no idea how to do that. I've tried to use app like ROM Manager but my device isn't supported. I've found this site: (sorry I cannot post any URLs yet) but both images (Kiano PRO 10 DUAL (SN:11461+) and Kiano PRO 10 DUAL (SN:-11460)) aren't valid.
- The only way to update my device is to install custom ROM prepared by Oma. The last one that is compliant with my tablet is CM10.1 which has support for kernel 3.0.8. This rom can be found here: (sorry I cannot post any URLs yet)
Now my questions:
- Do you think that ROM prepared by Oma will be valid for my device?
- Is there any other way in which I'd do a backup of my device?
- To be honest the procedure of upgrading isn't straightforward. There's so many files on Oma's website. Can someone advice my which files I should use?
- I suppose that kernel file which I have to use later on should be retrieved from my backup image. Am I right?
Here is more detailed info about my device:
Model number: rk30sdk
Android version: 4.1.1
Kernel: 3.0.8+, [email protected] #42, SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 26 12:09 12 CST 2012
Firmware version: (TR733_[email protected]121226)_([email protected])_V411.01_TL12
Build number: RK30_ANDROID4.1.1-SDK-v1.00.00, rk30sdk-eng-4.1.1 JRO03H 20121113.110203 release-keys
I'd appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.
Just one more try in order to reach wider audience.
