The short answer is "YES".
The long answer is No not until we are able to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery, I have tried every possible solution to work around the bootloader but even Odin balks at flashing custom roms without the actual samsung signature.
I have this source downloaded and have the current JB 4.2.2 source tree so I'll see about building and what pops if anything.
Please dont hold your breath, im not nearly as versed on samsung devices as i am on HTC so this is a learning curve for me as well as time constraints with work and family.

Not sure if it matters but I was able to install the custom recovery from the Sprint version. I have a history with HTC from the G1 to the mytouch and lastly the Amaze. Skipped the One since it lacked sd card and went to Samsung. Haven't looked back especially since I have a couple of Samsung smart TV's and the galaxy gear. Looking forward to the S5 this week while my wife has the Note 3 and we have 2 Galaxy Tab 3 LTE from T-Mobile. I appreciate the response and good luck!

i want new phone unlocked because my g1 is slow but i was curious if there was a way to know if the chinese android phone is flashable and using which rom? and which is a good phone to buy ...
bumpppppp/
It hasn't even been 3 hours, there's no need for a bump. Also I don't think those cheap knockoffs can be flashed but it's possible. First you have to root it though which is probably possible with one of the "one-click root" apps. Actually flashing one is a bit more involved because of hardware differences. Next time just get the real phone instead of a knockoff, save yourself some headache and heartache at not being able to do everything you want.
i actually have a g1 thank you very much handsome
Well then take out the "next time"s from my previous post and I stick by it. Knockoffs generally aren't that great. Getting the real version from a store is better, even craigslist or ebay.
I rooted my galaxy note replica with bin4ry it worked perfectly as for flashing i have flashed a few things but to flash a rom it would be harder because i have found out i would have to port the custom rom to work with my device.

What did I miss? Why the assumption that the OP is talking about a "cheap knock-off". Maybe he means a Huawei, or ZTE or something.
Rooting android from China
Ok, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but i'm desperate. I want to flash my phone that i recently bought in China, but i'm getting no where. The problem is that i can't find recovery mod that will work on my phone. If someone have any idea what recovery mod should i try, please suggest it to me.
I'm using Samsung Galaxy Style Duos I-8262D.

It will depend on the device you have. You should search xda for your device name, but if it is a cloned device, you may not be able to find anything, because some clones are not well supported.
Hey all, Im new here and have my first Android Phone
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-I317M from Bell but had it unlocked and am using Koodo now!
I rooted the phone last nite using Odin 307.zip & CF-Auto-Root-xxxxx-etc.zip
All went well
Question are there any better mods I can use on this phone, can any one suggest some good ones along with instructions on changing the ROM and restoring my setting, and apps afterwords?
A friend of mine is using a ROM that makes the phone act like a tablet, I would like the same for my phone if available, I think it is called Paranoid android
I found a ROM I want to use Called Jedi-X 6.1.2, but cannot figure out how to apply this to my phone, can anyone please give me detailed instructions,
Thanks

There are in a special thread for S7560/S7560M (Trend and Ace II x are the same phone with different names) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019146
I've put in a suggestion to make a master thread called Samsung Galaxy Ace (all models incl. Trend) with a subforum for each model since they are different and incompatible as far as firmware, kernel etc. is concerned. There's not much out there yet, the only one that did a JellyBean (unsupported and buggy) and then a KitKat (4.4) firmware stopped since he switched to another model. I've tried the Kitkat but it's simply not finished and will probably never be unless other people take over and give the Ace 2x/Trend a go since it seems they seem to become very common as they are often sold in great bundles around the world.
My thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605722
There are root-kits that flashes CWM-recovery while unrooting in a kit.
Even if your (and mine) phone is named Samsung Galaxy Trend you'll need to get used to call it a Galaxy Ace II x. This is the name of the rootkit with CWM-recovery: Galaxy_S_Ace_2_X_Root_kit.rar
And there are some ROMs (Australia and Guatemala versions with higher firmware version numbers) that can be flashed on any Trend/Ace II x since they aren't country locked or something like that.

thanks for your reply man but that thread was posted long time ago i already tried cm11 and cm10.2 for this device but now i manged somehow to fully brick this phone i cant enter in recovery or download mode when i try to turn it on the phone just shows the samsung galaxy trend and shuts down itself...dont know what to do i lost my warranty paper and threw away the box so i dont know what to do
Hmm, if vol up & down & home & power doesn't take you into recovery or vol down+power+home doesn't take you into download I'm not sure there's much you can do without leaving it to someone with a full JTAG-rig that can read and backup your system partitions (esp. the EFS partition that store your IMEI etc.) and reflash it with a stock ROM + stock partitions.

hye i want to know how to root ly samsung galaxy trend i realy need help because i want to clean up my phone
The phone i am looking to get is called the samsung galaxy appeal in USA, or the samsung galaxy ace q in canada.
the main draw to this phone is its design - a real slide out keyboard.
but im just confused as far as which directions for rooting i would follow? I cant find any directions specific to that phone model, only the "samsung galaxy ace" but that and the phone I want are quite different. the model number for mine is sgh-i827D, if that helps.
My plan was to play around with it and put the latest (stable/recommended) version of android onto the phone before adding any personal touches. I know its operating system is older now but i really do enjoy the physical style of the phone itself.
Any advice would be great, thanks!
If it helps, once i root, as far as i know the only thing id want to do is upgrade the android version.

But i thought that was the point of rooting, so that way technically every rom is available to every phone?
Ive seen people say they got their regular ace running version 4.4

Ace on 4.4 is possible but not recommended as its just a bit too slow for KitKat. The point is that custom roms are communtity made and if there is no community, bacause of neraly no one owns the phone you have, there will be no custom roms.
I was not even able to find the stock rom for i927D provided b samsung on the internet. I would always inform myself about the abilities to mod a device before buying it.

Hi there xda people,
Since all you cool people seem to be doing amazing things with your Galaxy phones, I bet this is an easy question for you.
Quick question: Since I have upgraded my SCH-I535 to Android 4.4.2 am I good to use heimdall to flash (if that is even the right word) ClockworkMod recovery on there. And then use ClockworkMod recovery to install CyanogenMod?
Ok here are the details:
I am trying to put CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy SIII (Verizon) Model SCH-I535. Never done this before but I am not afraid of the command line and I am running Ubuntu on my desktop.
I have been diligently reading through the instructions on the CyanogenMod site because I cannot afford to brick my phone and I am a little confused. Please set me straight.
A few versions back CM unified all Galaxy S III variants into one (d2lte). Instructions for 2dlte say
"Warning: The d2vzw variant cannot follow these installation instructions. For this variant, reference the device-specific installation instructions"
But when I go to the instructions for d2vzw it says:
"you must be a 4.2.2 or older build or this will not work"
According to the specs in "About Phone" I am on 4.4.2
So do you all use heimdall to put a custom recovery on the SCH-I535? If so will ClockworkMod do the trick?
If so what variant of CyanogenMod do I install? d2vzw or d2lte?
And finally, which version number of CM should I use to make sure all the bells and whistles work? CM10, CM11?
There is a similar question to this one on the CyanogenMod forums and no one has answered it.
Thanks to anyone that can give me some reliable advice!

Your on a locked bootloader. You cannot run any custom roms. Reverting back to a previous version of Android is no longer an option. The only choice or even chance you have at this point is installing safestrap and running one of the few locked bootloader roms that are available
Sent from my Cataclysm Nexus 5
Thanks!
Hey thanks for the heads up! I would have totally bricked my phone. As I have been searching more I pieced together the fact that for the SCH-i535 if you took the android 4.3 update you got the locked boot loader. Ah well, I guess I will have to spring for a phone that isn't so locked down.

Keep your eye on Craigslist for an S3 that isn't locked down. Or stick with what you have and pop on Superlite. It's stock, but at least it's debloated. Good luck!
