IPhone Clone(WM6)

So yeah I got a IPhone clone that has WM6 and it's all running smoothly enough.
I've got a couple of issues that have lead me to think about flashing the ROM.
First off the processor is apparently always at 100% cpu even though most of the apps run fine and anytime I try to overclock the OMAP850 in it it'll just white the screen out.
So I figured maybe the ROM was a bit dodge and apparently so.
I got GEN_WM6_...
and according to the rom update utility my current ce image version is
Ôج$Øج$
Basically gibberish, when I try to run the update it complains that it can't connect to the phone.
I'm running Vista so that may have something to do with it as well. Also I don't know how to get the phone into bootloader mode as it doesn't have any front buttons just 2 for volume on the left and 2 on the right for camera and some unknown function.
Oh yeah, the other question, should I be able to flash any ROM image on to it as long as it's WM6? I'm not using Verizon, I'm using Optus in Australia.
Can anyone help me with this weird and well most probably extremely difficult problem as the phone isn't really mainstream.

You can't just get flash a rom for one phone another. It is really hard to determine which base rom is it because there are so many iPhone clones with WinMo.
Many have no technical support whatsoever, meaning there won't be an update from the clone's manufacture.

Forgive me for correcting you we3zy but I'm sure you mean you CANNOT use any roms other than your phone manufacturers version.

Finding out who the manafacturer is, is going to be a challenge for sure
I guess my main issue is that whenever I try to change the clock speed on it(it has a OMAP 850) the screen goes white and I have to do a soft reset to get it to work properly.

Hey which iphone clones are running wm6?

I believe there's a zzzPhone. Google it. Its looks very cheap however.

I just looked at the zzzPhone, sounds like not a bad device but it doesn't look anything like an iphone.

aaaaahahaha you bought one really??!
oh man, how much did you pay in us dollars?

I would love one of these clones running windows mobile but not at the price on that site. The ones not running wm6 are around $150 on ebay. Anyone know a cheaper place that has the wm6 iphone clone?

I may have found the real name for the phone and a slightly cheaper price.

@Critical_Impact Would love to know how this phone compairs to say a Wizard or Hermes? does it do everything it says correctly? i.e. dims backlight ect I ask only my girlfriend wants a iphone which I refuse to buy as its very expensive however I don't think £170 is a lot especially if a ok windows pocket pc

Wow, guess the iPhone just lost its advantage: its design. Now if they only could do the same with the nokia.....
These people can design the hell out of a handset but they run a crappy OS.

Here are a lot of *cough* *cough* clone *cough* phones running wm
http://www.eemobi.cn/Mobile/Search.aspx?CustomCategoryId=44
Including the touch
And even more of those phone's with a dodgy chinese OS
http://www.eemobi.cn/
Nice to know that site if you ever want a reserve phone. (now the only thing is to figure out how to flash them with a rom in my language )

Gotta hand it to the Chinese. I would buy one of those iPhone-like handsets if they ran a WWE ROM.

I'm going to take the Windows Phone Challenge. Any advice?

A Windows Store recently opened near me. I figured I may as well give it a shot.
Currently running CM10, though I might switch back to AOKP Milestone 6.3 since things are a bit more stable there. Because the competition is done from boot, I can't have apps cached. It's probably a good idea to overclock this thing a bit, as well.
They can choose any challenge they want, and it's more than likely that they'll try to pick one that MS Corporate has identified to be a trouble area for my particular phone. Having a custom ROM on here might serve to level the playing field a bit, but by how much I don't know.
Certain things like disabling the lock screen and putting certain apps (Maps, Local, etc) on the main home screen are easy enough to do, but I was wondering if there was anything else to take into consideration. For example, the Facebook widget lets me update my status right from the home screen, a step less than needed with the Me tile on WP. Also, if I remember right, one of the challenges that has gotten a bit of notoriety is having to display two cities' weather data simultaneously. I think I can do this with a pair of widgets, but I'm not sure which.
Also, the prize is a $1000 MS Store gift card if I thoroughly smoke the Windows Phone (all six challenges). I'm not sure what they'll all be (I'd imagine a few of them would be lifted from the ads), but I know I can beat the Lumia 900 in a few of them.
Edit: Just thought of something - what if I were to use a WP-style launcher with some functioning live tiles to win? That'd really mess with them.

Lol they did the same thing 3 months ago but they are lame because they don't let you go in with such high end device like the hox. Make sure to have a widget showing the time in two cities, that's their favorite challange

I'm sure you've looked into it, but heres a list of the most common ones they use, plus some of the conditions:

And if you can get a Windows Phone launcher set up and feel confident with it, please record it, I'm sure the looks on their faces will be priceless.

From the rules in the link above:
"Your smartphone must be using the original, unmodified operating system that came standard on your smartphone. Any entries for which the challenge task has been pre-loaded are not eligible."
Oh well.

wondows phone challenge is stupid IMO, MS needs to stop the nonsense.
Heres a windows phone challenge, have a ton of apps in your app store

I'll have obtain a copy of the current rules from the store and pick through them. I'm not sure what the whole "can't have challenges pre-loaded" deal is, but if they disqualify me for having widgets while having live tiles pinned to the screen, that's a load of garbage.
Also, the part where it says I can't have an unmodified phone is at the least worded fatuously. Really? The version that came with the phone? Guess I have to go back to 1.85 and have nothing on it...
I don't think the employees would really be able to tell the difference if I came in with an AOSP ROM, but I suppose I could just pop the latest version of CleanROM on there and tweak it under the hood. Sense is pretty well-integrated into social networks, though I'm not sure if it's quicker than the multi-network updates from the WP me tile.

Assuming thwy're smart enough to know. Just walk in with Apex / Nova / stock? I'm not sure how strict they are, but I wouldn't give them too much credit, their just sales reps.

If there were no rules I would : any 4.0.3 ROM to use beast mode kernel. OC to 2.1 ghz and use performance governor so it stays at max. Use dual core mod so both cores are always active, and last but not least go into developer and disable animations. And keep an ice pack near by so you don't have anything catch on fire.
[email protected] windows app store. Very true. Luckily play store in my opinion is as good as app store for iOS. I think its a little superior since it loads much faster and doesn't require a password to update and download apps. I hate visiting the app store on my iPad. Unbelievably slow. The whole os is sluggish compared to this...

Make sure fastboot is enabled. Many of the challenges are from power off....
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Would fastboot allow for quicker initialization of apps from startup? I'm pretty sure the reboot is just to clear apps from RAM, and that boot time isn't part of the challenge.

Seems pretty intresting, lol I'd love to try as well . Well anyways what i can help you with is for the ROM does it have to be stock? If not just pick somthing like CleanRom 4.2 and overclock it to 2.1Glz or 1.9 (Whichever works better for you). Second choice would be to use a Vanila rom like what your using. Other than that all i can say is good luck!
EDIT: Some reason, it didnt load anything other than the OP.... Oh well, only if you could mod...

In the videos I've seen some of the challenges included booting the phone from power off.

Don't take it. They minus will call it the: we compare our flagship phone to your outdated one and choose challenges that we have selected that specifically target the weaknesses of your phone in order to get more people to buy our phones.

Well, the idea is to overcome the weaknesses by eking out as much performance as I can and setting up my UI in a way that lets me do things as efficiently as WP can, like you can with Android. I could pop the latest CleanROM on there and the MS store employees would be none the wiser.

I think that the Windows Phone challenge is just plain dumb. The fact that they dictate exactly what the challenge is just seems to rigged to me

You're going to lose, and even if you win, they're going to find a way to get out of giving you anything. People have tried this, and MS has screwed them out of it.

Yeah, this is what I'm worried about the most. They could weasel their way out of losing by claiming most any modification I make the phone has taken it from stock. I'm not safe from this clause unless I run a 1.85 RUU, relock the bootloader and make no changes to the phone except from the initial setup.

[Q] GPAD F35 advice

Hi There, I recently purchased a GPAD F35 from china. as I was looking around to back up all the current data I noticed It has NANDFLASH already on it ! Does that allow me to take it back to factory settings if it starts running slow etc? Ans if so what buttons would I press to get into that section? I was going to root it first then take it from there but I was told I would not need to if NANDFLASH was installed. I also want to run a virus check on there too before I put my details in to ensure no spyware was preinstalled.
Specs:
GPAD F35
OS: Google Android 4.0.4 (ICS)
CPU Rockchip RK2906 Cortex A8 1.0GHz
GPU Mali 400
Ram 512MB DDR3
If you could help me with the basics of what I should be doing before I set up my GMail account info etc and then give it to my 3 year old for christmas I would be very greatfull.
Kind Regards

I have now run a virus check which was fine x I now just need to know how to access the superuser and system restore section x x please help people

Yup I got it mainly because of the price tag also $ 90 CAN I found that the Gui screen looks much worst comparing to when the tablet was in game mode or watching HD movies. Do you have problem with the time, mine can't keep the time correctly sometimes ?

I havent noticed the time being wrong! Its a christmas present for my son so I have only had a little play. I am still interested to find out how to boot it in power user so I can plan for the worst case senario.

the tablet is not rooted so I'm afraid SuperUser can not operate properly, I try the free superuser app but it seems conflicting with Google Play so I get rid of it. BTW does yours has HDMI slot? beside the micro USB slot, mine doesn't have it so I think the buyer sent a wrong one or missing/wrong description but no biggy , so far I'm still impressed with the tablet, I did reset and run the test patch (all passed) and the gui looks neater now. I found out the the clock stop ticking if in sleep mode, still try to figure out why, oh well.

[Q] Root help for Proscan PLT7223G - CPU: RK2928 - GPU: Mali-400 MP

I have a 7" Proscan PLT7223G, CPU: Rockchip RK2928 1.008Ghz, GPU: Mali-400 MP dual core by ARM running Android jellybean 4.1 with Google Play in it.
(Not letting me post a url, but if you google "PLT7223G manual" you'll get a page where there's a firmware and pdf manual ready to download.)
This is a cheap device (the one I could afford till I buy a better one) that I bought from walmart and I would love to root this device but so far have found no help anywhere on the internet. I know an expensive device has many users and more chances of being rooted, but is it possible to root this fairly obscure one?
I am fairly comfortable with using Android SDK and JDK or any one-click installer.
Can any one help and/or point me to the right direction? It's overwhelmingly info-rich and confusing for an android newbie like me around here :S
I would be super super grateful if anyone can help me root this one.
Thanks guys.

Nobody?

Go here then:
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
If you need help installing adb driver try www.snappea.com. Just install on Pc, then when program prompts you connect phone to PC with USB Debugging enabled and it will take care adb driver for you.

I purchased the same tablet PLT-7223G-4K from Woot two weeks ago.
I can confirm that Cydia Impactor will successfully drop SU into /system/xbin. From there, I was able to get a # root prompt in ADB shell and do whatever I pleased. (Thanks to the persons above me for pointing that out, I was getting a little frustrated with this thing.)
I can also say that the generic Google USB Driver will work for connecting to this tablet. I am running Windows 7 SP1 x64 and had just updated the Android SDK prior to trying various methods to root the tablet.
If you need any more specific information, I would be happy to help, since I have the exact same tablet and purchased it for the express purpose of poking it with sticks.

Success!
@Klown80 and @jfmajo Thank you very much! I've successfully rooted the device with cydiaimpactor without a single hitch. Got SU through adb shell and all! . Took less than 5 minutes!
Am loving this tablet now! It's actually quite fast and smooth now that I've been using it much.

+1 confirm for this method of root.
I've got the PLT7223G-K8G, It also runs on rk2928 This version has a 8gb flash and suppose to be clocked at 1.2ghz (more on that in a sec)
Got this at walmart blackfriday came with a KB case, suppose to be a Christmas present for my sister but I wanted to test it out
before giving it to here, I Just got into android my self 2 week ago.
Anyway I used I ran SRT appguard and it said it was vulnerable to 9695860 & 9950697
I tried detecting device in Cydia Impactor but it just said "requested resource not available" file missing?
So I used this USB driver here: ** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Cydia Impactor rooted successfully in about 30seconds, Funny srt appguard was still running and complained but it went thru anyway lol
Installed SU, all is good.
I was running WinXP x64
I could not find a firmware download for my particular model.. although you can find a list here:
** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Here's a list of firmwares for the 7223g model line
** Wont let me post links / See attached picture**
Now as for my particular model, I would not have bothered rooting it since it was suppose to be a gift however it has 2 problems.
1. The device is suppose to run at 1.2ghz.. mine is locked to a range of 800-1000 (awesome range huh?)
2. The governor seems to be really messed up.. no matter what type of load I put on it I could not get it to crawl out of 800mhz.
So I rooted to get Cpu tuner installed and working.. So now I've got it properly scaling ot 1ghz but that's still not right.
I've emailed CS but im not expecting much given the price and judging from their poor support on their website.
Debating if this shouldn't just go back to the store.
EDIT: Oh ya one more thing.. These tablets do not have a volume rocker.. just power button.. thought that was kinda on unusual other tablets I've seen all had volume buttons, I know that's usually how you boot them up into recovery.
EDIT2: LOL Well, dont bother emailing support.. I've tried twice both times bounced back fialure to deliver.
First time I thought it was because of the screen shot I attached, but 2nd one came back also.
Takes about a day for it to come back though, to lazy to look at the headers which are epic long.
Give them a call monday, probably gonna just return this tablet though.
EDIT3: Well I just realized the phone number is to Canada which counts as international on my cell.
So .. sent a email to their sales email hopefully that one don't get bounced.. If It does im probably gonna return it.
EDIT4: Ok sales address also bounces back, so both the email addresses on their site are borked.
EDIT5: Took it back for a refund, It developed a problem with charging on the 3rd cycle, it said it was 100% but the battery was flat dead and would turn off soon as I unplugged it.
I think the battery was bad I noticed it was warm right before this happen even when not doing anything..
To bad, tablet actually felt pretty solid in the hand.

Won't Show Up
I can't seem to get my Proscan to show up, I have all proper drivers installed, USB Debugging enabled, but it still doesn't show up

Use app guard to check and see if the device is vulnerable to 8219321 or 9695860
If it is then Cydia Impactor will likely root it.
I posted how I did it on the proscan I had 2 posts up.
Should be same process if your device is vulnerable to either of those security flaws.

Ok I can confirm this works, downloaded root checker and root explorer. Both worked...is there a thread on here for this device or similar ones?
wondering how hard it would be to get a working custom recovery, would have to be something touch without keys, probably like TWRP. wouldnt mind doing some theme for this device.

I think this is the only thread on the device.. or at least the biggest.
My unit was suppose to be a present for my sister.. but it turned out to be trash.. at least my particular one was
CPU was capped at 1ghz not 1.2.. broken governor never let the cpu get above 800mhz (lowest freq)
and battery quit taking a charge on 3rd cycle (despite it saying it was 100% charged.. it was a lie)
Support is basicly non existent for proscan, some units don't even have firmwares on their website, support/sales email addresses just bounce stuff back.
Ended up returning it and getting a azpen a700 from micro center for 40 bucks, smaller outfit but at least they have something resembling support.
android 4.2.2, technically inferior ot the proscan I had but since the unit I had was garbage I guess that's moot.
It's surprisingly snappy for what it is Allwinner a13 @ 1.2ghz, kernel allowed up to 1.5ghz but the unit I got was unstable even at 1250 so they must run those tabs at the ragged edge of stability, no issues at 1.2 though.
If you got a good proscan I graduate you, The one I had actually felt very solid and good in the hand.
Slightly above average screen for cheap tabs.

I updated my proscan plt-7223g with the firmware from curtis international now i dont have touch capability or internet connection. I'm still able to navigate with the keyboard. What i'm asking is if anyone has the stock image or stock firmware for it? It would awesome to get it back to out of the box state.

Next stop: how to remove bloatware and make my inexpensive device even faster and show it off to my friends who got expensive ones eh!! Any suggested readings? Please do share!
Thanks so much again. You guys rock!

[Q] How can I get google play working on my fake Mi 4

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Mi 4 with a antutu rating of 33k in a hurry only to find out that it was a fake Mi 4
Now I am stuck with this phone as I do not have money to buy it and no one seems to want to buy this from me when I specify that it is not an original..
So I thought maybe you guys could help me make the most of my ****ty situation and help me get this phone running at a better level by rooting or some other method. I would say I am an average male phone user and would really appreciate your help in this matter.
Below are all the information I got from antutu on the phone.
I cant seem to post the link as I am new here so I am going to break it up maybe a kind admin will help me out here

Phone stats aside...
The phone feels sluggish not what I would expect an octa core phone to be like.
The rear cam feels like its around 5mp and not 13.
Front cam might be around 2mp but definitely not 5mp
Phone is not rooted.
Came with a chinese market (not mi market) and a browser named "Baidu Browser"
So far I have tried to install google play using the google play apk and also by using the google installer but each time it does not let me sign into google with my gmail account saying that there was a connection problem and the google play services crashes around the same time... sigh. somehow google play seems to work when going through a browser. but it is very slow and a bit of a process.
I dont really know what else I could post that is useful but please let me know and I will share it ASAP.
I hope you guys can help me or I would have completely wasted around USD 120.
(i know it might not seem much to some of you but its a big amount in my country)
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I hope I will find the help I need here.
Regards,
Mark

You realized you bought a clone May I ask where you bought it? Your phone is based on a MTK6589 chip and it should be possible to root it. Just installing the play store won't work as you also need the google play services to use the play store. By the way Antutu shows that your phone has already root access. In my opinion best way was to have a look for a custom recovery and flash a google apps bundle. Otherwise you can try to download gapps bundle for your android version, extract the apks and install it manually.

I bought it from a buyer through a local ebay like site in my country (sri lanka)
I did try installing google play services along with google play as well as some other google stuff...
I checked the phone with a root checker app and it said it was not rooted, antutu got so many things wrong so i bet its not really rooted as well.
I also thought I would be able to flash the phone with a different rom or set up the phone with a google apps bundle and stuff but it looks crazy complicated and I cant really understand which gapps version to download even
Would you happen to know a guide for someone like me?

Could be kinda hard You will ned at least root acces to make google play work. The point is that i'm not sure which clone you got as there are different Mi4 Clones on the market. Could you at least check "settings->phone info->software" which android rom is installed?

Had a look. And not a valid solution for you. Its really weird as the MTK 6589 chip is a quad core cpu not a octa core. Have you tried to contact thze person sold it to you?

I have but he is refusing to refund my money, we have no buyer protection here yet so I cant really hold the seller responsible legally...
do you think there is anything I can try without seriously risking bricking my phone?
