Fix
hello,
i see your problem, maybe there was an fault when the phone was putting the OS on it i dont really know an option. but this are my advices:
1. try to do a hard reset by pressing the power+lock+reset key for 10 to 15 seconds (may not work on all phones try to google it) NOTICE ALL YOUR FILES WILL BE REMOVED + ALL YOUR SETTINGS!)
2. call samsung for support
3. go to the store you bought the phone and ask if they know anything to fix it.
4. go to look on google how to root you phone: find your phone type and try to root it. if you did that you can but any OS on it and i think there will be an andriod 4.0.3 rom for the phone that you can load on your phone with an recovery plugin. ( you dont need to have you phone's OS started, you only need to be in recovery mode.)

[Completed] [Q] Samsung Note 2 Clone MT6577 not loading into OS after factory reset

Hello Everybody, I think I have brik my phone. This is going to be a long thread, I am only explaining so that I am guided correctly by the members.
Configuration of my Phone:
BB Chip: MT6577
Modem Ver. : MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5
UBoot Ver. : 2010.06
Kernel Ver. : 3.0.31-178067 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT
Android Ver. : 4.1.1
SW Ver. : ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1
Custom Build verno. : I968.1700.02.02.B.C-V1.0.5B04Q17
Quad Core 1.6
2gb RAM
16GB built-in memory
Around 2 / 3GB ROM.
What I did with it
I installed MTK Droid Tools, SP Flash Tool and other things required to root and flash rom.
I had Android System Recovery e3 installed which did not allow me to install any rom. So I opened MTK Droid Tools, connected my phone, saved scatter file. Next I went to Root, recovery tab, took a complete backup of my phone, installed SuperSU, deleted china. Next I choose 'To choose the boot.img file' selected the original backed up boot.img file, then after few times hitting yes, MTK Droid installed CWM 5.5 to my phone.
I downloaded few custom roms from needrom.com. Entered recovery mode, tried to install from the internal sdcard the roms, CWM reported success but stock ROM did not went away. I tried to install the Android 4.3 ROM, to install google apps dev had told me to install the following file as while using the same method(recovery mode): gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Problem started from here
when I now boot into the phone, many things started to crash, settings, android keyboard etc. I mistakenly went to settings and did the factory reset. Phone restarted, and a green Android robot appeared, blue bars running at the bottom of the robot, a octagon type shape moving in his stomach. It just flashed over the screen and phone restarted again. From then onwards this is the only thing that is happening, no matter I try to go into recovery mode or where, noting works. This is the only screen that appears constantly with 3 secs interval in between each. The only other screen I am able to go is by holding Vol Down, home and power, it takes the phone to factory mode. But it is of no use.
Please help. Have I brik my phone? Is there anything I can do? Phone is not getting detected at MKT Droid Tools, else I would have reinstalled the recovery and boot etc, when connected powered off (with / without battery).
Please help.
Thanks, HardDev!

Flashing crossplatform software on android

Hi, I recieved an android tab recently. It has been made in China and therefore has no brand ( I couldn't even find a manufacturer's web site). It boots and displays a logo and doesn't proceed any further. I can enter recovery mode by using volume down key during startup. But when I try to factory reset or clear cache of the device, it says that some files are missing. Is it possible to flash a zip file of an android os from some other device (As I couldn't find specific software for the device). Will it permanently brick the device?

No, it is not possible to flash an OS from a different Android device. It (porbably) won't hard brick the tablet, but it won't work either.

Multiuser issue on android TV (rooted)

Hi, i have been trying to deal with an issue I've been having on my new A95x android tv, i tried fixing this myself but have been unsuccessful and decided to turn to the wizerds of XDA.
The device I'm having this issue with is my android A95x TV box, the second generation with 2GB of RAM and 8GB eemc running marshmallow (6.0.1).
The device is rooted right out of the box.
The device is also using it's latest factory rom and firmware.
The issue:
I'm unable to access developer options due to an error saying "No developer options for this user"
To make things even harder when i spam click the build number option under about TV, nothing happens. No error, no message, nothing.
I've tried:
- Factory resetting data from recovery
- Wiping the cache partition in recovery
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!

[Completed] iRulu x9 16 gig 4.42 firmware needed

After rooting this tablet I immediately started having WiFi issues, plus each boot or power cycle would trigger a factory erase. By placing my apks in the preinstall folder all of my apps would be replaced each time, but personal data and setup were deleted.
Due to this I started using Kernal Auditor to soft reboot. Somehow I managed to hit " reboot to boot loader " and now my tab is stuck dead on first android logo screen. I downloaded the Phoenix suite and a ROM that was supposed to work but Phoenix refuses to flash it.
Astar_y3 KVT49L A33 realtek WiFi etc... It was a release key but I would be happy with any firmware that would work for this. I am currently trying to I stall a minimal like ux on my xp PC and will be better set to communicate with the phone.
I was also wondering I'd it would be possible to load a Linux distro on this tablet????

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately I can't find any information for your device on xda. It is possible to run linux on most tablets but each device is different. There is a guide for a similar device here
