I recently got, as a gift, this fake 7'' "Samsung" tablet. It boots (well, booted, but we'll get to that later) with the Samsung intro screen, has a Samsung brand tag-thingie on the back, calls itself "Model: 6200" but it's obviously NOT a Samsung, because if it was I wouldn't be creating this thread now, would I?
I can actually find it for sale as an "aPad Spreadtrum 6508", and I'd link to a site that has it if I could, but I can't because rules. Thing is, there's no such thing as a Spreadtrum 6508 CPU as far as I could find out, and there's no other info around about it. Which brings me to my second issue: I actually found out a couple of things about it trying to root it, but I kinda sorta...bricked it. Ooops. So now I need your help to try and figure out what this thing actually is and how to fix it - please?
What I found out about the thing:
- It's definitely a Spreadtrum 7'' tablet. The specs, according to the tablet itself, are these:
Model Number: C6200
Android Version: android 4.0.3
CPU Model: ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v71)
Build Number: MocorDroid2.3.5.W12.20_P20.01
CPU Frequency: 1000MHz
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7, [email protected]#34
As you can see, it "lies" about what it is. The ARMm7 Processor, I'm assuming, is a Spreadtrum SC6820/8810. It's even branded Spreadtrum on the inside. I couldn't find ANYTHING about other Spreadtrum 7'' tablets tho. It seems like everything with those CPUs are 3.5'' or 5'' phones.
- It has no fastboot or recovery mode. It actually has a hard reset button on the top, which is weird. I couldn't adb it either, but I can access it with ResearchDownloader via ChannelServer, even after it's "bricked".
- It looks like the pic attached in this post.
Any help, from the specific brand/model of this thing, to a copy of its firmware, FDLs, even info about other Spreadtrum-based 7'' tablets would be very much appreciated. I'm not very much tech-savvy - I bricked my phone, duh - so I'm kinda at a loss here. Thanks in advance and if this is in the wrong place, please tell me.

Hey...
Its okay... I have not received mine yet, i just wanted to be ready when it arrives
I bought mine at FCT and from what i hear their products are top notch, this is the newest of the HDC i9300 and it should be amazing...
FCT's customer service is the worst ever, i am shocked... But with patience and being a bit stubborn gets you where you want
Root MANY ANDROID! tool on b92m
I've used this tool to root my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460.
My phone has the same hardware of yours but with different branding. http://www.mixeshop.com/star-b92m-i...3000-3g-1280720-display-smartphone_p1683.html.
So if it worked for me, could work for you too.
Thanks for the reply, sounds amazing...
I will try this as soon as my phone hits the doorstep.
SO what is your opinion about the Star version??, post some info

i also want to root my s3 frnds plz any one know how to root s3
The only thing is that some time become laggy and the icons disappear. I think we will need a software update, or a custom ROM. I hope someone starts work on it.
I've also just purchased this phone. This is my first Chinese phone so I'm excited to try it out. I will root the system depending on the amount of bloatware. I'll make a youtube review once I get it.

Sorry, I didn't see your previous posts. Yours is a Star b92m. I never like Star or Tinji brand. I'm sure my HDC i9300 EX will have a different ROM. I will extract the ROM before I root it and maybe you can use it. I should receive it in a weeks time as my phone just shipped out.

I just got an email from fastcardtech support saying that there is a mistake. The EX only has 512mb ram instead of 1gb advertised. The sample piece from the factory has 1gb but the stock that came in only 512mb. How much ram have you got in the Star B92M. Is it 1gb?

This phone is now my everyday phone. I am not sure if the S3 EX is going to replace it.
I am keeping my Sony Xperia S for comparison purposes.
I have a device (mobile phone) with no company brand name,the operating system in Android.(chinese mobile phone)
I would like to install a newer version of Android (jelly bean),what are the procedures I have to do to:
1-determine the device chips
2-install the new rom since I dont know the device type ?

ROMs are pretty device-specific, so if you only find a ROM for your device, then you can flash, otherwise stay away as it can easily brick your device.
Many Chinese forums do custom ROM development works like here in XDA, you may have to ensure which is your device first of all, and then search about it in Google.
As with your questions:
1 - Yes, have to determine which is your chipset (Can get all infos by using Quadrant Benchmark app)
2 - Install the ROM if you only find anything for your device.
Well, it would help if you could post some pictures of the device. Maybe someone will know what it is.
But anyway, basically you have to find out what chipset it has (CPU architecture, SoC etc.) and compare it to some branded devices so that you know what kind of ROMs and kernels you should be looking for.
Another option is to pull out any information about the currently istalled ROM and kernel and search a little to find out for what devices those are.
Good luck btw

I highly doubt because the hardware mentioned over there is pretty much unknown or I've not heard at least. If it was Qualcomm it starts with MSMxxx , Mediatek starts with MTxxx, Rockchip with RKxxx so I'm clueless.
The nearest bet you could do is, somehow find the device Model name and search for it, maybe some Chinese forums does development of that device, but don't give much hope.

I'm an idiot, I started a thread asking on hot to root a TravelTek m9703. After a little research I found that its a Rock Chip Dual Core Rk3066 Cortex-A9 1.6GHz chipset.
so now my question, which method would be the best for rooting this device? I know bricking is always a possibility, but is there a way i could save the factory firmware and restore to that FW in case something happens and I do brick it?
Running Android 4.2.2 Baseband version WM218 Kernal 3.0.36+ [email protected]#320
Thanks

Doh!
I was just confused looking for "TravelTek M9703" and getting zero results. I then looked at the spec description from where i bought it
http://www.sears.com/traveltek-9.7-inch-led-google-android-4.2.2/p-SPM7198457209
I found it was running a Rock Chip RK3066 chipset
After I UTFSE I found this which had a nice batch file and it worked fine.

Thanks again folks.
Gapps
Have you come across any info on Gapps? Particularly a working Play Store
Install PlayStore
There is a way to install the PlayStore on that device ...becuase i have the same traveltek m9703 and it dont comes with the google play and search and that its not google certificated but i wanna know if the a way to install it
Hi all,
Looking for some info on rooting this "Phablet".
I seem to remember that most MediaTek powered device's can easily rooted,is this true..?
MediaTek MT 6582 @1.3Ghz (Arm CPU Cortex-A7 architecture 28nm 4cores) Mali 400MP (Arm GPU)
Yes internal storage is a cheap 4GB...!! Hence need root access.
Not to concerned about bricking it as I would normally be, somehow I sense most at XDA have cracked it....
I've been using advice from here since
Froyo 2.xxx onwards *root* access granted on a GT-S5570.
Most grateful for advice on rooting this, I really need to shift apps and de-clutter " bloatware"...
Regards Angela
Hi!
Hopefully this will get you rooted. Read the opening post carefully before starting anything.
And any questions/issues/concerns... Its also a good thread to ask in,

Hello all,
I am interested in rooting and installing a custom ROM on the Chinesium phone I bought the other day and I am having a hard time getting started.
(Can't post a link to the phone but a Google search of E&L S60 should get you there)
Rooting seems to be specific to the model of the phone and processor type, and I am seeing nothing that coincides with my model number.
CPU: Arm64 - V8A
Model: S60 (full_kxd6753_65_s60)
Manufacturer: Alps
OS: Nougat (7.0)
Does anyone know how to go about figuring out
1st - How to Root this thing
2nd- What ROM to install
Do I just look for other phones with known Rooting techniques that closely match my hardware? I'm not adverse to bricking it, but I also don't want to just see what happens by trying something that has a high probability of bricking my phone either!
Any and all guidance and/or suggestions would be welcome!
Screw that guy! lol!
Well.. I soft bricked it. YAY!
I used the ROM for a Umi Iron Pro with the exact same specs... and BRICK.
Any pearls of wisdom?
Please?
