Hero H9008 Pro MT6592 Mlais MX69T Pro OEM With Quad-Band WCDMA

This is one of a very few models with 1900MHz. It's been proven by one of our members who disabled all frequencies except for 1900MHz WCDMA through engineering mode and was still able to use H+ (UMTS/HSDPA/WCDMA/3G)
The phone has 900MHz as well for Europe.
The whole reason we're posting this here at XDA is because we're trying to spread the word regarding this China brand phone with quad-band WCDMA. Yes, there have been previous MTK phones (notably Blu Life) with 1900, but that is an American brand. iNew x000 is advertised as having a '1900MHz version' of their x000 lines, but there's been zero definitive proof that we've seen, and even if it exists, it's not quad-band WCDMA. We'd love to see it if it exists. Otherwise, we're calling this the first MTK China brand model with quad-band WCDMA. It's really huge news, and congrats to Mlais and H9008 for taking this big step. It will be a day that goes down in China phone history.
So far the phone looks very good. The screen is excellent. We will put it through the paces over the next few days.

This could be my next phone, but I've read about the battery problems, do you think is the same on all variations of this phone? mlais for example?
Or maybe OEM versions have a cheaper battery? Please let us know the battery test results with the new firmware.
three more questions:
1. is there a multicolored notification led?
2. on this phone, what are the file transfer speeds using the usb 3.0 connector and cable?
3. found it at antelife, is it a good price or did you get it cheaper somewhere else?
thank you very much!

We got this phone from 1949deal.com. Don't always go with cheapest, 1949deal.com has a decent price ($295), and with the coupon code, it's $285 (coupon: 1949dealh9008). I always recommend going with the shop that has treated you right, as long as the prices are somewhat similar.
I will do FULL battery tests on this phone.

thx for the answers, I'm waiting for the full review and that coupon

In answer to the first question. I've seen green, red, blue in the LED. Haven't seen other colors yet, but haven't tried for any either.
Rooted already. I will put root method in OP in about an hour. Making full stock backup now (baseband, radio files, system). Will get it uploaded tonight.
I was just playing with a real Note 3 half an hour ago.I tested all buttons on the real Note 3, looked at the plastic trim around the side. Pressed the volume buttons. Pressed the home button. The 'play' and feel was the same. If anything, the H9008 feels more solid in the hand than the real Note 3.

geeez, so tempted to buy right now.... hahaha, your battery tests will close the deal.
thank you once more.
In another subject, do you think mediatek would allow this current generation to be upgraded to the latest android version? Chinese phone development is so fast that SO upgrades are non existent.

It's possible, but I doubt it. I will be surprised if it sees true stock 4.3 or 4.4.
If another similar (MT6592 1080p) phone with 4.3 or 4.4 comes out, we may see some good ports in the future.
And if LeWa / MIUI for MT6592 4.3 or 4.4 comes, again it's a relatively easy port for a decent developer.

Added CWM 5.5.0.4 to OP

Added Carliv Touch CWM 6.0.4.4. EMMC, sd-card, data - all mounting fine.

After several mishaps and bricks. We've finally figured out the deal. This phone is an OEM Mlais MX69T Pro http://www.mlais.com/mx69tPro.html, but seemingly without the NFC and the TD-SCDMA. We've flashed the latest firmware from 18-FEB-2014 and everything so far tested is working the same as H9008 stock firmware. The wallpaper, sounds and everything are the exact same as H9008 as well.
Unless you want to have a lot of fun reflashing and soft-bricking, we recommend you don't fool with MX69 (without the T) Pro firmware. The scatters are nowhere near the same. We tried flashing with scatters from stock H9008 firmware and with the original scatter that came with the ROM. There was no success with MX69 Pro firmware.
MX69T went off without a hitch though.
We'll try and have a first thoughts video up later today. So far, it's nothin' but good.

thx for the information, your conclusions keep me one step from pulling the trigger for this phone.

There were several slightly nervous moments when the phone didn't turn on at all. But we went back to work and tried several different times (10 flashes or so all together) with different methods and tools until we determined it's definitely not MX69 Pro 'standard', but 'definitely' is OEM MX69T Pro....The firmware updates have been coming out regularly for the phone as well (see previous Needrom link). A very good sign.

Different H9008 versions?
Are there different versions of the H9008 on the market?
I checked a couple of shops and found H9008 phones with different specs. The main difference is the front camera. Some list the camera as 5MP, other as 8MP and some as 13MP.
If the H9008 is a full OEM version of the Mlais MX69T Pro, then the front camera should be 13MP.
Another question which is bugging me:
What's the aperture of the rear camera on the H9008? The original Mlais has an aperture of f2.0. I couldn't find any information on the H9008 camera.

Any questions? Feel free to ask

t was just a matter of time before this could actually happen. The Oppo N1 smartphone, which was launched earlier this year with rotating camera, has now been cloned and is available for sale. These clones are now becoming popular among the smartphone industry pretty fast, since most of the flagship devices these days have very high price tag which cannot be afforded by each and every common man. Considering price factor and reliability, the Oppo N1 clone, iNew V8 proves out to be pretty good against the pricey flagship. One should be careful while buying genuine brands.

V8 Plus is a upgrate version of V8; and there isnt big difference between them, some parameter will be upgrate and better,
like frequecy of CPU,

Has anyone been able to get Android 5 or 6 for this phone, I believe its powerful enough to do it but for some reason not many people developed / ported for it. A Hexacore and Octacore device that's slept on.

Ben-Ray Dual Octa Core Super Tablet

Hello all, I'm new to the forums. I've been a lurker for a little while. I had been looking for a android tablet for a couple of weeks, and stumbled upon some of the chinese tablets on Aliexpress. I don't want to link to it since its against the rules. I ordered it last week and will receieve it this week hopefully. I plan on posting some reviews on it, but the specs on the thing are pretty wild if it is indeed legit.

Edit, wont let me post a link, but it benchmarked at 126,000
I'm a little skeptical but I will report back once I receive it.:good:

So?
Ben-ray tablets still selling on aliexpress.
Please, share your expressions.

The Qiku F4 is a $93USD phone with an MTK6753 processor!

Not many people have heard of Qiku, but they are a pretty huge collaboration company between Qihoo and Coolpad. They are releasing their new Qiku F4 (everyone thought it was a flagship, turned out it was a budget phone!) which is a $93 plastic phone, but has pretty good specs. It compares to the Ulefone Paris with very similar specs, except the Ulefone Paris costs $119, so this is a good $30 cheaper. Stay tuned for more developments on the Qiku F4!
See the news article here:

I'm very excited for about this phone. I hope there will be nice software development for it.

Definitely interested in the Plus and Pro versions of this device.
I've been using a Huawei Mate 7 for nearly a year now and I'm fine with the size factor of it, and I think I'd like the even larger size of the Phab 2. I can't wait to see some tests on the finished product and some camera samples. :fingers-crossed:

Good to know that it does have NFC, GsmArena doesn't have NFC listed for it, but not having USB OTG is a bummer. I also wonder if it has MHL and WiFi Direct.

I just signed up for when its going to be released, this might be my next new phone.

I would love it if this phone had CDMA compatibility. I'm stuck on Verizon in my area, so once again I'm disappointed...

I don't like it either. But unfortunately CDMA only takes up 15% of the market (mostly North America) while the GSM standard takes up 85% of the market share. So if I were a smartphone manufacturer, unless I had an exclusive contract with Verizon or Sprint, I'd put all my energy towards making my device compatible with the most broadly used standard.
CDMA is starting to make some inroads in other countries, so maybe that will spur more device manufacturers to include the CDMA frequencies in future phones.

Thanks for the insight Clarkson. I didn't realize that there was such a big difference, but I knew there was one. This may be extremely naive, but doesn't it seem like they could just include CDMA radios and charge an extra $20 or something? I have a Nexus 6P that I'm extremely happy with right now, but I'm always on the lookout for my next phone. This one is unlocked and I activated it on Verizon, so I know they can do it!

Phone doesn't have NFC I posted this on Lenovo site and got answer from "Lenovo"
Does it have NFC ?

Lenovo · 3 hours ago
No it does not

Champagne Gold?
Any word on when champagne gold will be available? If I'm spending $500, why not be happy with the color?
The other disappointment for me is the micro USB. I suppose I can compromise on the lack of USB-C but I've been spoiled.
I currently use a ZTE Zmax Pro, a quick pick up after returning the Note 7. I discovered that I loved the 6-inch screen. Why not go for a 6.5 with higher screen resolution?
The camera and battery of the Phab 2 pro are much better. I'm a big OneNote stylus user so the screen real estate is more attractive to me than Tango.
[Queen OTE=H. Clarkson;67493220]Definitely interested in the Plus and Pro versions of this device.

I am glad the US is finally getting a phone this size with decent specs. I used to have the Z Ultra back in the past but their camera was dismal and had no flash but it was still a beast. I see the Phab 2 Pro as it's replacement for me as far as size, camera, screen resolution and full LTE support. I think Sony dropped the ball big time by not having a follow-up to the Z Ultra....I am currently using the Mate 8 but I have used the Mi Max and Honor Note 8 this year as well but the Mate 8 won me over and after I get this Phab 2 Pro..I will not get another phone for awhile

Z Ultra also had bezel from hell. Its touch screen eventually stopped working on me. I had the GPE.

Does this phone get calls over VoLTE or drop to 3G like the Phab 2?
01/26/17 EDIT: I had to go buy one to find out for myself... YES this device uses VoLTE (HD) For Calls.
