Pretty ridiculous that Android can't perform reverse tethering natively (i remember my ancient WiMo doing it on the fly!)

[Q] Fake Samsung Galaxy S3 problem

Hi guys,
I have here a fake samsung galaxy s3
After hours of searching I finally figured out that my phone is an MTK.
MTK Soft Ver: 0x1220
MTK HW Ver: MT6250
OS: MTK52D
Model: J5001
I wanted to root this phone but there is no development settings so no usb debugging option either..
Basically I want to put a new OS on this phone but I'm stuck not knowing what else to do to try rooting this phone..
What can I do to put a new OS on it..
Any helpful information would be much appreciated!
Nobody has a clue?
Does it run Android, and if so, what version? If it's 4.2+, then you need to repeatedly tap 'Build Number' in your about phone page of Settings.

Using *#66*# you will find something like this (and factory tests):
VERSION SUMMARY: YLXJ5001_11B_272_Y7_ML10
MCU SW: YLXJ5001_11B_272_Y7_ML10
BB CHIP: MT6250
DSP CODE: 2000.00.00
DSP PATCH: 1.0
MS BOARD: ZHJ5001_11B_HW
BUILD: 2012/12/27
But nothing more to do from this point... This device is a shame for me, I can`t do anything.

P.S.
You can visit Mediatek's page and see by yourself the low power CPU MT6250 specifications

[Q] tv tuner plug to Q102

Hi Devs, i have a question about compatibility tv tuner via tablet. the tv tuners are A867(AF9015) and DVBT USB DONGLE(IT9135), the tablet is Maxxxer Q102(4.4.2 android, QuadCore A31) and kernel version 3.3.0 . Tv tuners play perfect on windows 7. I found some drivers(modules) for android version as ****.ko but are not for my kernel version. I tried to <<install>> it on modules as <<insmod>> but it say <<exec format error>> . My question is how can i make it right for my kernel version, or how can i make it play otherwise?
P.S. if my theard is in wrong section please transfer it in right. Thanks a lot
Hi, I'm not proposing you exact guide how to get working your particular tuner but very similar one based on same chipset. So you will have idea how to compile your own modules.

[Completed] Need Help - Tablet PC (Ainol Numy 3G P97) System Flash and Installation of Custom ROM

Hi.
I've got a reasonably unknown Tablet PC.. Here are the specs and miscellaneous information;
Name: Ainol Numy 3G P97
Internal Memory: 16GB
RAM: 1GB
GPU: Mali-400 MP
SoC: MediaTek MT8382 ARM Cortex A7 @ 1.3Ghz (Quad Core)
OS: Android Jellybean 4.2.2 (I'm pretty sure it's a Custom ROM)
Kernel Version: 3.4.5
Build Number: Numy_3G_P97_V1_2014090215
Custom Build Version: 1.19_20140822
Root Access: No (I never tried to root the device, never had a reason to do so)
I've been searching around for ways to upgrade the OS from Jellybean to Lollipop or higher. I've searched extensively within XDA Developers' various forums, but there doesn't seem to be any post in relation with my device.
I took to the internet and found some websites offering Flash Tools, Firmware (nothing above KitKat, or so it seems) and Android Studio. I've tried (in vain) to go through some tutorials on YouTube, but haven't come across anyone who's done anything with this particular device.
However, I have a rough idea rattling around in my head of what needs to be done, but I just need guidance from the Developers here to tell me how to get about doing it.
I have the following software downloaded;
1. MediaTek USB Drivers and Flash tools
2. SP Flash Tool v5.1620
3. Official Android Jellybean 4.2.2 System Image for the device
4. Android Lollipop 5.0 System Image (the site I downloaded it from says the Firmware is for a different tablet pc, but with the same specs as my device)
5. Android Studio (latest version, direct download from Google) - I read in some sites that Android Studio would help a lot to install a Custom ROM into any Android device, hence the download.
I'd greatly appreciate anyone helping me out in this endeavor. I'd like to install Lollipop (at least) on my Tablet PC, in order to gain some functionality as well as improved performance (hopefully!), as the current Jellybean OS is terribly laggy. I've seen other Tablet PC's with lesser specs running Lollipop smoothly, so I'm hopeful that there might be a silver lining to an otherwise very dark and sinister looking thunderstorm.
Thanks!
Hi @sisilk
As there isn't a dedicated forum for your device here, the best place for your query is in:
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A,Help and Troubleshooting.
You can hopefully find some support there.
Good luck
