Generic Chinese Tablet upgrade firmware - General Questions and Answers

hi there
I have this cheap generic chinese tablet.... it's a sun5i - SpreadwinPuppis - running 4.0.4 ICS
Now, since these chinese things are so widespread and there's soooo many variations, I know this maybe a shot in the dark, but is there anyone on here who knows how to upgrade it from ICS to JB??
I know I am being a bit vague with the description of my tab, so if anyone needs any specific information about it, tell me and I will tell you what you need...
Thanks in advance...

[Q] Unknown Ipad mini clone

Last week I bought an android-running tablet that looks like a clone of the Ipad Mini. My problem is, I can't seem to identify it's exact model. Being the chinese-made generic type, I can't get hold of the firmware to update it to JB 4.2.2. Although it's running 4.1 version, the wi-fi reception is just too weak for me. I heard updating it to the latest firmware somehow improves it on that department. So I attached snapshots here hoping some of you guys could identify it, and maybe point me to the updates I've been looking for. Maybe give me a hint what other firmwares I could use on it too. Thanks in advance guys!

But sadly, you can't do much with it.Since it's a chinese device... There's no support available for it.

[Q] Question about rooting a fanx RK3026 tablet

Hi all,
i'm new here and new to rooting etc completely...I bought 2 kid tablets from Fanx with the RK3026 chip set but I've heard that this probably isn't enough info to root it.
I'd like to know what more info is needed and what i'm looking at from level of difficulty point of view..Like i said, i'm new to all this.
The reason i'd like to root is simple; it's some sort of weird hacked android version that keeps pushing these Chinese apps to install.. My kids don't really understand Chinese since we're dutch speaking. Another disadvantage to these is that the battery runs out fairly quick so i'm hoping that a cleaned up version of Android will help out there a bit as well, not expecting miracles though!
What i'd like: A cleaned up version of android, it says it's 4.4 now but i'm not convinced i should believe that.
Unfortunatly i can't post links to the products website but it's from Fanx, the 7" kids tablet and has the RK3026 chip set
Thanks in advance

Samsung s6 firmware?

Hi Everyone
Please bare with me as this is my first post on the site as it was recommended to me. Also bare with me even more as I don't know much about Android firmware.
Ill try to give you guys as much information as possible, I purchased a Samsung S6, or what I believed to be an S6. Im not so sure!
Its showing as running Android 5.0 but it seems to be lacking functions that makes me believe its not a legit phone. Could I try and put a different version of android on it to see if it will run? As I have lost lots of money
Heres what it says in the about settings to help you decide if I can do anything..
Android Version 5.0
Model Number SM-G920F
Baseband Version G920FXXU1AOBN
Kernel Version 3.10.54 [email protected] #1
Build Number LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOBN
Custom Built Version SEPG_SM_G920F_5.0.2_0008
Hope this makes sense to you guys
Is there anything I can do to salvage the phone?
Thanks very much

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.

Custom ROM installation setup

Hi
I am new to ANdroid devcies as i only have Apple devices up till now, please bear with me. I just bough a Noza Tec Android table VII on kitkat 4.4.4 quadcore with 1GB RAM, this tablet was cheap and does not behave anything like a quadcore or 1GB RAM, it is very slow when using web browser and zooming in on anything is not smooth and does it in sections. I would like to try installing a custom ROM that would speed things up dramatically, as currently it is really poor.
Can anyone give advise on the best ROM for htis device and also if there is an installation guide as this is the first time i will be trying it and i dont want ot brick the tablet.
Any help appriciated. Thanks in advance

Hi.
I don't see any thread for that brand. That's maybe because is a Chinese device. It would be very very difficult to find a custom rom for this device, almost impossible I would say. I would suggest for you to stick to big names, like Samsung, Asus, etc. There's always a workaround with roms and rooting for these brands. Sorry I couldn't help more.
