Need Help Identifing Phone - General Questions and Answers

OK, so i take my lunch money and bought a Goophone Y5, at least that is what the newandroidsale.com website said it was.
Anyway I would like help identifying it. It came in a iPhone 4s box and sale writing on back. Inside the battery is soldered in and the model number is NEW-H910-KAIY-75.
It has MTK6575 chipset and it also has a sticker inside that says A10 on it across the sd card.
I see several models that have the same specs can anyone help me. I installed a software called snap pea that is like the google play, but in Chinese. And me not being from the orient have stumbled my way through updates and got the latest gplay but it crashes after i out my account info in.
I have rooted it but when i reboot to recovery i get the dead droid red triangle.
Any help would be appreciated, private message me if you want...
Many Thanks.....

This is the problem with android clone phones, no support. I have seen about 20 threads all with problems with a clone iphone 4. If you can find the stock firmware for your device, you could flash it and return it back to normal.
I will try my best to help you but I can't promise anything. Please thank me using the button if you appreciate this.
I know that when you have limited funds you want cheap, trust me, I have been in 'limited fund' but in afrikanns we say
'kut qwep as der qwep.'
What seem cheap, will emerge expensive
Always try to buy branded phones. :laugh:

I am pretty sure you have purchased a SoPhone V75 MTK6575, they sell it as a 1Ghz by the time you add up the CPU and GPU speeds it is a 1Ghz device, I have the same phone, 8Mp rear camera, 0.3Mp front camera, retina screen ...

Sophone V75 with ROOT ICS and Google Play
Just an FYI.
I managed to get my Sophone V75 with ROOT, running ICS and a working Google Play Store

Need help to identify a chinese 7" tablet

Hi,
i would like some help to see if the device i have has any other custom firmware,
i have attached a few pics of the device.
the discription that was provided by the vendor is as following
7" TFT screen, A9 core 1.5ghz, 512 ram ddr3, 8gb internal memory, andoroid 4.0, has GPS, TF card support upto 16gb, VGA front camera.
NO bluethooth,
the model no. assigned by the manufacturer / vendor is ET-6018 , being sold on egmemory.com...
to be honest i knew that the tablet will be slow... but its so slow that even opening a single menu takes ages...
i cant return it as the vendor is being very A**holic...
i was wondering since i cant use it or return it... mite as well flash it with a custom rom.
please help me to identify this tablet's common name and if any custom roms are availabel for such device.
many thanks
Try this link for more information possibly....I've been searching a while on your subject and it's extremely difficult to find an exact "common" name for your device

Some Info found
I managed to get a little further, and i hope the info helps? Im English but based in Aisa, and often have to source hard to find manufacturers. I couldnt read the model number in your last photo, but as it says on the back of the Tablet, it is made by a company called Easy Groups, who specifically manufacture Memory modules. The main website is egmemory.net
In the support section, they have manuals and firmware downloads, but i stopped there because i couldnt read the model number. The link to the support page is...... egmemory.net/download.php?lang=eng (add the 3 ww's in front)
The only ROMs i could see listed however, where Chinese ROMs but i would have thought there would be an English language option somewhere!
I hope this helps?

I also saw those firmware updates on that website and I clicked the one for the et-6018 and it took me to a dead page. The other links for the other models did the same
A little secret...;o)
If you do the non obvious and do a right click, then select open in new tab, it downloads the 'firmware' for the manual it opens a PDF in a new window.
Unfortunately the 'firmware' on offer is just a utility tool for upgrading and is 1MB in size called Phoenix Card and has a handful of DLL's with it. I did a little more digging and picked up hints to follow 2 models, CWM MK802 and CM10
I did find this though, i wonder if this would work, the author states its a slim custom ROM for the A9 but doesnt state its for any particular model...

Sent from my rooted SCH-R880 POS
Made in China?
Those made in Taiwan perhaps??....
Seriously though, these little tablets are quite addictive to play with! When im not at home in the UK, im in Indonesia for most of the year, there is a local market that sells second hand stuff, like a flea market. I often find broken or used tablets for as little as $10 I have about 15 of them now. One i have hacked to the extreme hardware wise, inside i fitted a 4 port hub, a second camera facing forward, a wifi mouse and keyboard dongle, a broadband dongle and a second USB port on the side, maybe i should post this as an instructable? Another i have used the insides as a controller for an amateur radio transmitter.

[Q] April 2013 Nextbook 8 SE with Amlogic Meson 6 and Jellybean

Hi,
I just acquired a Nextbook 8 SE with a manufacturing date of April 2013. It has Jellybean installed, HDMI out, and also Google Play.
There have apparently been several iterations of hardware under this same model number missing some or all of the above.
Nothing I have tried has been successful at rooting this device, including the Italian Fix, all the stuff here and at FreakTab, or Crystal Root which is the only thing I've found here that specifically calls out this processor and OS mix.
Yifang or whoever actually made this unit is doing something interesting with the signing keys, because pretty much anything I've tried via <3e> has failed verification.
I know that since this unit is only a month old and not popular that there probably hasn't been a lot of interest or work done on it, but I'd really like to root it in order to get rid of some things and change some other things.
Thanks in advance!

I'm with you on rooting this thing, i have scoured the internet for days trying to find information on rooting this device. I have the Nextbook Premium 8HD sells for 99 dollars USD at walmart. the chinese workaround doesnt work this devices either. *Edit* Also it has the AML8276-M6 chip and like i said earlier NOTHING in the same tablet family with the same chipset works for root with this device.

We're going to have to go back to Walmart and buy some of these as gifts to hand around to the cool kids here in the hopes one of them breaks into it.
packaging was misleading as well, I read the barcode at walmart and it said "Google Play nextbook" and noticed the likewise of the Nexus font on the packaging. It wasn't until i got it home and inspected the box just to find the "efun" logo discreetly on the side. I am still very impressed with the packaging though, for 99 dollars the quality of the packaging was very good. The LCD screen is something that is less desirable but its not the kind of screen i would expect to have like my galaxy Tab 10.1. Overall i am happy with it but i still need root to hide its manufacture id on google play. I am unable to download most of my apps as they keep saying they are not supported.
Here ya go
I performed this process today and can confirm it works on Nextbook 8 HD. This not for Nextbook 7 or 8 SE/Premium or any other Nextbooks...

Hi,
I have also the Nextbook Premium 8SE bought last year and have ICS installed. It's not that good as expected. I asked at Nextbook support they told me that JB is not in plans for Premium 8SE.
I've tried to get those 4.1.1 custom roms, but I cannot even install the drivers, the tablet won't even connect in flash mode with UP+DOWN buttons pressed while plugging the usb cable.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
How to root Nextbook Premium SE
Hey! I have a Next book Premium SE. I tried everything to root this crazy thing, and finally I was able to do so with a free application called kingo android root and a Windows computer. It wasn't listed in their supported devices, but it worked. You can Google it for more info. It only took about 5 minutes after I found that application. Now I am working on finding a successful ROM for this obscure tablet.

[Q] RCA 7" Android Tablet 4.1.1 root/rom/forum?

I bought an RCA 7" tablet as a manager's substitute for a Xelio which was out of stock at WalMart. Hey, $39 seems like a pretty good deal.
However, there is no mention of this device ANYWHERE, not on the WalMart website... apparently, not even the great Oracle Google has heard of this device. There are some obscure references to google play support. It is NOT the new RCA TV Tablet or the stereo one.
From the device:
1GHz processor
built in 4GB memory
WiFi b/g/n
Google Play Store
0.3 mp forward facing camera (woo hoo)
micro sd support up to 32G
Model number RCT6077W2
Android version 4.1.1 Jellybean
Kernel version 3.0.36+
[email protected]#129
Build number RCT6077W2-Android4.1.1-v1.0.1
I would love to figure out what else is hiding under the hood on this device.
Need help unlocking/tweaking. Not sure if I'm in the correct forum.
I AM A NOOB! First step is admission...

to find out about a little more under the hood you should take a look at CF Bench it will tell ya its secerts. as for tweaking im 99% sure that nobody will develop things for it. 40 bucks for a tablet has to have terrible specs, the best you can do is try to root it. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 good luck mate

Thanks T'zul. Actually the tablet was $80 but I got it for $39 cuz the discontinued Xelio promised was out of stock when I got to Walmart.
I have not been able to locate drivers BECAUSE the tablet is only being released officially next week so I haven't been able to connect for root only to transfer music/photo files.
Yeah, I know that the specs (I listed them above in first post) are lower end but I thought it would be a good toy to learn on/destroy if I wasn't careful.

im sure if you root it you can most likely overclock it and stuff, cheap android tablets like these are always good to start on before you get the big boys that only last a year and then they are outdated. as for the drivers you can try adb and install the android drivers.

Microphone on RCA 7" rct6378w2 Issue
Sorry to change the subject a bit but I am in the correct company, since I have the same tablet bought from Walmart last Black Friday $49. I find the microphone performance very bad. A screeching sound (like feedback) and extremetly low volume on recording using voice recorder or Skype (echo test). Has anyone come accross this issue and got a suggested fix? The tablet is not going to be very functional for video conferencing with this issue. I though i would ask the forum before returning it.
Thanks

Please provide organized instructions for completely exploiting the RCA tablets
Hi I am new here, I got this tablet for christmas and this forum has helped me so much already, because of you wonderful people I have successfully rooted. However after continuing reading I am a little confused on what exactly to do now, can someone please go over unlocking the bootloader, getting clockworkmod recovery or whatever else I need, flashing cyanogenmod for the RCA tablet and any other steps I might not know of? How can I help and where are we all in completely exploiting the RCA tablets? (RCT6077W2 in specific for me) can I get regular drivers instead of that annoying pdanet? would it be possible to flash other ROM's like AOKP and paranoid android or would those lack in support? what do I have to do w/ the android sdk? what apps, launchers,root apps and exploits do you recommend with this device? how can we overclock and make the best out of this crappy device? any tips,cracks,modifications that make this device better? etc. I know it is a lot of questions but any awnsers and help is really appreciated and It would also be really nice if someone made a nice n00b friendly guide on what to do after rooting.

This absolutely a really good questions. As many people bought the 4 or 8GB versions with plans to expand to external SD card; I hope the moderators / seasoned android pros of this forum can provide a detailed explanation how to accomplish this task. Thanks in advance to all that offer some suggestions / solutions towards the SD card front.

I also thank you for the rooting steps. How can I now upgrade the jelly bean from 4.2.2 to 4.3? I have the same model tablet.
My Only Hope.
I thank you for your response, Jeffrie.* But unfortumately, it did not contain any new information for me.* I am beyond a factory reset. Wiping the data and dalvik cache was actually what killed the tablet after I had actually revived it by flashing the RCT6378W2 firmware to the RCT6077W2 tablet. And I only did that because after days of searching, the internet, the RCT6378W2 firmware was the only RCA tablet firmware to be found.* And at first it seemed like it might work, the only obvious issue was the tablet couldn't tell which way was down.* That was doable.* However after a reboot, the wireless functionality stopped completely.* Wireless couldn't even be switched on.* I could send you numerous links to numerous forums where there are several other consumers with the same issue. And as it stands most of those people feel ripped off and very skidish about purchasing any more RCA products.* I am confident, from the way the 8GB tablets firmware helped bring the 4GB one back from the dead,* that the actual RCT6077w2 4GB tablets original firmware ( 1.0.0) would revive several of your tablets as well as the customers satisfaction and faith in your company. And once they were up and connected to the internet, they wouldt be able to update using your OTA server. Word of your companies actually giving a damn and level of support would surely boost sales as well as bring former customers back.
I know how
I rooted my very own RCT6077W2 (same specs and everything) and got it from Wal-Mart. I know how. Download 4Shared from Play Store, create/login to an account, search up "master root", then click the first one and download it. Install it, then open. I know its in a diff language but click the middle button and then when the screen pops up with the buttons, press the one that is not red. Then again. Once the boxes are away, reboot your device and it is rooted. Congratz, you now have root access.

Heres what it says in the about settings to help you decide if I can do anything..

I'm sorry to tell you this but that is a fake Galaxy S6. Demand your money back and post where you got the phone from to let other's know where not to buy from as well as letting everyone know what a scammer this guy is.
From the info it looks the same as the issue in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/sim-unlock-destroyed-software-t3123505
To confirm a fake though, go into Download mode (with the phone off, hold volume-down + home button + power button). If Chinese text shows up then unfortunately it is a fake.
There are many youtube video's showing how to spot S6 fakes. There's even a video of a Chinese guy who's the manager of a counterfeit factory in Shenzhen producing the newest version of a fake who is trying to market the fakes to distributors. He goes on to show how their fake S6 is the best fake S6 around showing off all the features that the inferior fakes do not have like the "fingerprint sensor" (which is just a capacitive button so accepts any finger input) etc. They even cloned the Briefing app when you swipe left on the homescreen and many other things.
EDIT:
I couldn't find the original video but found another video of the same guy here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X1LLZkL1c claiming their model is "99% like the original". He's so proud of his fake the way he shows it off.
EDIT:
Huh, it runs on a Mediatek 6592 Octa-core CPU. I guess it's a "decent" phone if you bought it at the distributor price knowing that it's a counterfeit instead of buying it at retail price. Their S6 link is down but their iPhone 6 fakes selling for around USD$150. A fake S6 for $150 doesn't sound so bad.
