Galaxy S4 Copy - Galaxy S 4 General

Hi people!
I've chosen this section because I really don't know if there is any other section that is appropriate for this thread. Please let me know if there is !
I've received recently a Galaxy S4 as a gift and I was terribly disappointed to find out that it was just a copy...
So my device is an MTK based device, here are the tech specs :
Hardware :
CPU : Mediatek MT6577 x2 1Ghz
RAM : 512Mo
Display : 5.0 inches, 540x960, 240dpi
GPU: PowerVR SGX 531(Single core GPU)
Smartphone type : HDC I9500 (Galaxy S4 layout)
Software :
Android Version : 4.2.2
Kernel Version : 3.4.0 (eng.rooter.1372857005)
Rooted? : Yes
So the phone is rooted by default, but I want to know if i can install CWM Recovery, dump the current ROM or anything else? (especially to install CM10.1 ^^)
Thanks in advance !

Somewhat, maybe because it was not the "real" S4, but it's way better than my old Galaxy Fit ^^ !

You can't just dump it. The fake Galaxy S4 is totally different spec-wise from the real thing. The userland software (which is closed source and cannot be modified) will be broken as it relies on hardware capabilities which simply do not exist on the fake one and cannot be emulated in the kernel.

kernel source are avaible

Great, I don't know if it really worth the try but I'm going to check out all this. Any idea how I will flash the patched kernel then? Odin or something else?
EDIT: Oh nevermind, I've found something on google, I'll try to check all this and do my best! Thanks !

Any differences you can spot inside the "touchwiz ui", those mediatek s4 copies are sold as low as MYR 468 per unit @ USD 146.25. The body part is an exact copy of i9500, which looks exactly "Genuine". The thing that I notice it's fake because the status bar clock is not grey ( Samsung default) but instead it's Google Blue. And also there aren't much to set up under the device setting tab.

With an ancient copy, those little details were spotted, but with the version I got, they've made a lot of changes in TouchWiz UI to make it look like the original one, even the settings tabs were modded so we can choose them and navigate as if we're using a GS4. They've even made it possible to fake Antutu results, and a part of CPU-Z infos .
The funny part is that the phone emulates gesture with the proximity sensor (only from right to left xD ) !
@ivkos I saw that some guy uploaded a dump of the ROM, that's why I asked if it was possible, but he's not saying anything on how he did that :/ !

Bro, what is the black outline?

How dose it compare to the new haipai x710d mtk6577?
i found the star n9770 for 155 on aliexpress and the haipai for 175 on mixeshop,
dose the extra $$ for haipai worths it?
I also want to know benchmarks of this CPU. Is is comparable to dualcores from qualcomm/nvidia? Id like the Zop Zp300 to have this CPU

strange that the antutu benchmark only shows 1000mhz as the max clock speed of the CPU. Shouldn't it be 1,2?

Hey. I ordered mine from the same site I had to wait 5 days for the item to come into stock..but when it shipped it arrived within 24 hours. The software shows its 4.0.9 and it comes with google play. So far ive managed to install many popular games such as shadowgun and it runs without a hitch. The only problem i have come across so far is that my head candy headphones dont fit in the audio jack

Well its a good thing to know someone on the forum has actually physically got the set.
Its a new one for you, but do you by any chance plan on to do the rooting and customization of ROM/mods as mentioned on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646544&page=140
I know the thread is for HaiPad MTK6575 i9220....however I guess all of us are waiting for any real proof that the mods are working on the MTK6577 version as well ....
So if by chance you plan on doing anything, then please do post the results over here...would be a great help for the guys like me who are waiting to order this set.
Thanks.
I have been looking around for confirmed rooting techniques but haven't come across any yet.
I am really impressed by the speed and responsiveness of the phone so far.

2-2) wipe the cache partition

2-4) install zip from sdcard -> choice the zip from sdcard -> get the correct zip file and press the power button for starting
2-5) reboot system now !
3) Finished !
Have some body know, How about the process for "factory reset" in Official ROM ???
This action should be have some script for it ,right ??? Which / Where is this script ???
Due to Haipai-x710d / STAR-N9770 will kill the /sdcard and /NVRAM partition during "factory reset" , so I think ,maybe the script mistake !!!

That doesn't work. Either you flash an entire (already rooted) firmware, OR you can extract the bootimage from the update.zip, use the Scatter file for flashing the custom recovery and ONLY(!!!!!!) flash the boot image.
And here's a little warning: A factory reset will KILL the phones (both, x710d and N9770) IMEIs!
But if that happens, they can be recovered
I made little "review" videos of these phones to be found on youtube or my blog

If you are looking to build custom Kernel, then you can download your device-specific kernel sources from Samsung developer website. Identify sources with your Model Name.
I guess Galaxy Grand is using Broadcom chipset, but not sure. To identify chipset type Qualcomm starts by the name MSMxxxxx and Mediatek by MTKxxxx etc.
Use this.
you can download app to get details.
You can download application from play store

[Q] strange question

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:

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.

If I go to the About Phone on the Settings page, the info i get is:
Model Number: GT-I9300
Andriod Version
4.0.4
Baseband Version

Not really. We only work on official devices and not clones. You may have some minor luck searching around but they will be hacked together roms. This comes from no kernel source and them running non official versions of android.
Ok.
After tons of searching, i managed to get a download rom, but need a update

Update my phablet BQ Elcano2 (MT8393)

Hi everyone! This is my first post so..first of all I apologize for my grammar, I'm Spanish.
A few days ago I found at home a BQ phablet model Elcano 2 Quadcore. After charging and turning on the device I realized that it currently runs android 4.2.2. I managed to root my device so that I could update it to a more current version of android. The problem comes when I can't find any TWRP recovery or support on Lineage OS.
I have read that you can use the recovery of another device with the same specifications as mine but I have not found anything on the internet either.
Hope you can help me update my phablet. I don't need the latest version of android, by making my device useful I'm satisfied.
I downloaded the Aida64 application to know what processor I have:
MediaTek MT8389
4x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1508MHz
1Gb Ram
32Gb ROM
7inch
Thanks dudes
