Looking to identify my phone for firmware updates

Hi Everyone,
I would like to identify my phone so I can use your firmware updates as well as needing links to the most current firmware for the phone.
Can you reply with links to this forum where I can get the firmware?
Inside the battery compartment the model number of the phone is:
N9000 i9220 PAD
Thanks.
Truly,
Emad

I don't think that has a forum, that's a Chinese phone with not much to it. I could be wrong though.

You could be - but you're not. If the OP had bothered to use Google first he might have found some more information out before posting here.
These Chinese phones appear all the time and there will probably never be XDA forums for most of them because they change specs all the time and most devs aren't going to have one to try playing around with.

the phone is ok, faster than my lenovo s560. just the chinese version app that is bugging me. if you're buying ROW version, then you have to assess and let me know for the price, i think is value for money. I dont use it for games, just call, messaging and some other non-gaming app

In malaysia, the price for international vers around 500MYR or $156.
Btw thx for ur reply.

Have you tried looking up Cydia Impactor? That uses a master key vulnerability and can root most phones as long as they haven't been specifically patched to cover this.

If you already got a way, please show us the way.

ROOT a fake S6 ?!

Hello everyone,
I read several forums, so I installed cpu-z to know on what mtk my phonewas running. Strangely I was on Exynos Octa 7420. So I put my phone in download mode, and appeared a Chinese menu (that's how I know I have a fake s6).
So I would like to know, is there a way to install a recovery and a rom on a phone like this ?!
PS: model number is sm-g920l on lollipop 5.0.2

I think you can try kingroot because supports a lot of smartphones, and if the root method works then you can try follow this guide for switching to supersu

i think its just fake info keep in mind they still can trick apps to show fake info if you want to root it without knowing what are you doing it may end up dead forever

I found that it's a mtk mobile. But my version (mt6735) is unrootable ... Any idea why ?!

Why so you even have a fake device? How about returning it for a real one?

There are a few root methods for this chipset, you need to make sure the bootloader is unlocked though 1st before trying. I had a quick google for root methods and did see a few possible working ones.

I'm sorry for hijacking a very old post but I just want to ask some question regarding ZTE A520. I'm currently searching for budget phone with good spec and this is the only one suited my budget. So, how's the phone after about three month? And how it brick, do you format it and do you fixed it?
I found some Russian site for this one and it seems provided a firmware download but I don't know if it worked or not.

So you just helping repairing the phone? Ok. Is it hard to repair brick Mediatek phone or it varies between brand? Because I have no experience unbrick other than Snapdragon phone using TWRP.

Thanks in advance

Ok I understand, I’m sure someone has knowledge of this device. I would expect you’d have to be certain your flashing the right thing before doing it!
