[Q] how to find the model of my iphone clone - General Questions and Answers

hello all,
I'm new and forgive me if I'm wrong de forum topic
I bought a chinese mobile and did not arrive on the model chosen, but another.
I would like to find out the model to see if you can update the firmware.
I can explain what I have to look in the phone to understand the pattern and eventually find an update to remove the menus in Chinese?
I am attaching a picture
from what I understand has a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor with 2.2.1 android and interface OS apple
can you help me understand if I can update the phone with Android version 2.3 or later?
I am grateful for the help
thank
claudio

Do you have more infos ?
There is a mark/info on the cover, on the battery, ...?
Exemple of a GooApple g22 : http://www.gizchina.com/2011/04/13/gooapple-g22-android-iphone-4-knock-off-hands-on/
With hardware specification you give, i think it's maybe the GooApple G22 (but with clone it's a bit dfficult because many model exist...), and as is an androphone, you can normally install clockwork mod recovery and flash it to android 3.2 (as i've read for the G22 model).
But before doing anything, be sure what hardware you have exactly otherwise you may brick you phone !!

I took some pictures of the phone.
please help
thank
claudio

Sorry but there is too much models with this specifications ... a lot use the ARMv6 ... and there is no relevant infos on your pics ... nothing found about freesoft21.
When you buy it, wich name have the phone ?? (they have always a name).

Unfortunately, where I had ordered a phone model has seen fit to send me another model and then disappeared.
I find it unusable as a phone
What can I do? you have other suggestions?
thank
claudio

Can you check this video and follow it, let me know if you arrive to activate english.
If your menu is not the same, try to do that :
Type this : *#0044# then press SEND button
This must Set Language to English

I learn from this,thanks!

thanks for the info, however I set the menu language English, but some remained in China.
but I wanted to do is to upgrade to version 2.3 of Android perhaps with a clean version without Chinese writing.
but what are the constraints to update with an updated version of Android?
thank
claudio

can you please help me understand if I update my phone with version 2.3 of Android?
thank
claudio

me 2, at least i got the code to set phone to English language

still not able to understand what kind of phone is.
could be a G22 but I'm not sure
I would try to do a backup and try updating.
give me some instructions on what to do?

I know it would be alot of work and research, but you could go to YouTube and watch all the different videos on all the iphone clones and try to see which one your phone looks and operates like. Could be a shot in the dark or it could tell you what you have. Best of luck.

Is it possible to format my phone?

Hi,
I'm looking into buying an Asus P535 phone, but the only place it is available is Hong Kong. However I have been told the phone might not actually have an English OS installed.
I was interested in finding out how easy it would be just to install a new English OS for the phone? Do I have to obtain this from Asus themselves or can I just install a generic phone OS that is English?
Cheers
No such thing as 'generic phone OS'. All windows mobile ROMs (that's what they are called and its a bit of long story why) are specifically tailored for the devices.
I am not sure if there is an English ROM for 535 but there was a discussion on this here so please use the search.
Also check the Asus site.
I have looked around and found a few questions regarding the English ROM but no definative answers. I suppose in itself that could be an answer.
I'm going to get the white version so I'm gonna have to buy from HK anyway, but if theres no English ROM then there is no way I am gonna be able to use it. I cant even find an email address to be able to ask Asus if one is available or when one will be available. If anyone can help me then I would be grateful.
Cheers

I'm searching for a week but i cant find anything. I dont know how can i hard reset it, or how can i upgrade it if it is awailable.
Thanks.
It may be a clone of some device, but not sure which one. It does not look familiar to me. Made in China so who knows. You can't get any support from the company that manufactured the device or the seller?
Hopefully someone else will be able to point you in some kind of direction.
Hei dude,. your device look very similiar to DOPOD M700, that AFAIK, it have no ROM support,.
But the newer Update for DOPOD M700 is DOPOD p800w (ARTEMIS), that have support for ROM,.
But i think your device is not the same with that, but maybe same how to's,.
so i would recommend you to visit and read further in HERE
Hope it help
I wrote mail to the manufacturer, but no answer.
I dont know what should i do.
Is there any pc application that can tell me information about the connected devices? (eg. ROM type)

But finaly they sent me the user manual. Just a wrong one. M..r..ers...!
Detach main battery and wait a few days. Then plug battery again. Maybe can work.
There is still no solution?!
Just give me pic of under-battery space. Do you have usb cable with it ? If have, also give me pic of connector
I have USB cable. Tonight i will make some photo from the device.
I've found a user manual, but i'm not sure it's is for my device, but it looks good because all parameter in the manual is same as my device. Exept one. The manual says:
To perform a Hard Reset
Hard reset by pressing device buttons:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear.
2. On the System tab, select the Master Clear (!) icon.
3. Proceed to enter the confirmation code: 1234 and push reset button, system will auto reboot to complete the operation.
My problem is, the Master Clear option is missing from my devices settings menu. Can i reseting the device with any other software?

NetFront No Longer Sells this
I bought a LocationFree off ebay and it was advertised as for windows mobile but now can not get the software because Netfront no longer allows it to be sold or downloaded.
The upgraded model is still for sale at the BB by my house and still advertise that it works on windows mobile.
This is crap. I snapped a picture with my phone and sent the picture and link to the AG in my state. At this point I am of the opinion that Sony is the spawn of the Devil.

The English version has been posted on this forum by another user. I have the Japanese version and when I downloaded the English version, the serial worked. All of the settings were already populated as well, even though I removed the Japanese version from my mobile device already prior to installing the English version. I hope this helps!

I posted a free listing on the most popular online auction site in the Want It Now section. Luckily, someone had the software (Japanese version) and sold it to me for $20 or $30. This was in December 2008. Recently, I downloaded the English version and the serial works for it as well. I have it installed on my hp iPAQ hx2115 which I purchased online. I hope this helps!

Sharp IS01

I'm wondering if anybody can help me with rooting a Sharp IS01. It's an Android phone recently released by au in Japan and there is a re-branded model shortly coming out with Docomo.

Please post here if you find out anything. I'm interested in the possibility of upgrading Android on new Sharp phones. Especially if this can help use the gadget (not really a keitai) on another operator, not just DoCoMo.
Don't know if it's locking or just plain incompatibility, but the IS01/SH-10B seems to be stuck with 1.6 and the Netwalker, for example, with Ubuntu 9.04. Same thing goes about older devices running WM.
IS01 has been rooted.
Have you got anymore details or a link?
Can't you use Google?
It's possible to install a ubuntu version on this device?
I tried to find something on google, but i find only a few links to xda forums, where someone ask about this device, and many links to articles to the launch of this device on japan, etc etc, but nothin useful.
Got something but it's in japanese and translated pages are a little weird (bad translata I think).
I wonder if someone here will start some project....
New year, good news
Someone ported froyo on this device, but like usually tha page is full japanese so I can't understand nothin.
Use google translate
www44. atwiki .jp /is01 rebuild/
The adress is modified because I'm a newbie and i can't post links, but I think this news will be userfull fot the is01 owners.
I hope mods can forgive me this time (and even my horrible english)
hi, sorry to post it here, but probably any of you guys here have experience with sharp galapagos from softbank? the 3d naked eye is really tempting. however, i`ve been googling for a while and it seems like i can not do anything with it. tightly seal, locked.... is it? has it been unlocked?
thanks

[Q]China Phone Changing OS

Hello all,
I've buy Nokia N97 from china .... and as you all know that China phone come with their own OS ...
is it possible to change the China default os into Symbian/WinMO/Android OS??
what equipment i must have to do it ???
No you cant change it, atleast not on XDA
You could try here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
You will be stuck with the Symbian OS, but whether it will let you update it or not, or whether you can change the language or not , depends on lot of ifs and buts.
Give it a go.
The 'How to' tab will tell you what you need to attempt an upgrade.

That's for the original nokia phones
Is it a clone down to the last resistor and diode, or a cheap and cheerful look and run alike, built out of just what happened to be languishing in the the inventory bins?
