[Q] Lenovo S400 alias S4 mini clone ROM - General Questions and Answers

Hello I just got the 45USD Lenovo S400 phone, wich of course is not a Lenovo, it is a modified S4 mini clone with MT6582 CPU, Adreno 305, 256MB RAM. Antutu says rooted: YES. Recovery is in chinese .
Is there any chance to flash some custom ROM compatible with this hardware?
On the phone there is Chinabox logo and also ZBW-PS1 number.
Thank you for suggestions.(if any)

Your best bet would be to look at the hardware inside the phone as other "White box" smartphones may share the same hardware and have custom ROMS ready for them.
Unfortunatley this is the issue as their are so many variants of white box brands and not enough developers for them all
Hope I could help and good luck in the search for ROMS

I can disassemble that, there are 9 screws and it looks like it won't be a problem, when I do this, I will post pics here.
What should I focus for? I mean, the CPU is known, but what else should I focus for?

No need to disassemble the phone, just download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.hardwareinfo&hl=en

Got that installed unfortunatelly I can't send the report by email, nor skype.

I bought an iphone 4s clone which the seller said that name is Gooapple V5 3G, android 2.3.5 is installed on it, but when i installed antutu benchmark and look at the system info, it is written:

Also i installed the usb drivers for this phone and rooted the device, but i cant reach the sd card from pc, in my computer there occurs a removable device but not accesible. What is the solution of this?

Read up on this thread so that you can make a backup of the stock rom using mtk droid tools.

Once you get that done, any mishaps occur you will have something to flash back too using sp flash tool.

I hate to break the news to you but, looking at your specs, I dont believe you can have jellybean. 1. You have very low ram to handle all the apps and tasks it runs. 2. You have a single core processor. 3. There doesnt seem to be a custome rom for your device.
although, when kitkat comes to more devices, yours should be able to handle it and may be availible for your device as a custome rom if not an official. Sorry for the bad news.
Yep, can't get JB on that. If your device has a kernel source released you can compile KitKat yourself, but that seems like the only option.

I would gladly explain it to you, but I just google'd your device and the kernel source is not available for it. It's possible, but it's going to be a bazillion times harder. Plus, it would take a lot of trial and error. I've also never tried to compile a ROM without kernel source before. Sorry I couldn't help any further.

You have not specified why you need the firmware. If there's an issue, please elaborate. Have you tried doing Factory Reset ?
Based on quick Searching, I see that this phone is Manufactured by "Shenzhen Danxiang Technology Co., Ltd."
Your best bet is to contact them for the Firmware.

I do not know what I need I've been confused
First I do a rom backup using MtkDTool v2.4.6 but
for some reason all of a sudden the phone did bootloop
so that makes me panic.
This phone has been root before using framaroot 1.9.1 and it worked
and secondly because bootloop I tried to use another backup rom through sd card but install fall.
and I try to do the flashing using another rom backups, it turns out this phone has been possible for some deadboot hardbrick,
because I am new in android world
and I try to plug the phone into the pc & netbook is already known (undetified device)
or there is a solution to help turn this phone
somehow I thank you
sorry my english is bad

[Completed] [Q] Identify my phone

Hi, a couple of yeas ago, I bought a Note 2 from craigslist then later found it was a fake. It was the same size, and model #, but I then started finding fake stuff. Stylus was fake. Screen size was off, cell signal stopped working, etc. It's running android 4.1.1. (baseband version MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V7.P3,2012/12/27 11:22). AnTuTu Benchmark was preinstalled with fake specs. So, I can't trust any specs I see in Settings, my guess it's some Chinese phone disguised as Note 2.
So, How can I identify the exact specs of the phone in hope that I can install a new ROM or cyanogenmod on it.
Any help is appreciated.

Sorry you got duped buddy. Unfortunately, if it's a fake phone and a generic vendor. it may be difficult to find out which device model it is, and even if you do, getting a custom ROM for it like CM is a very VERY remote possibility, unless you're willing to learn and cook one for yourself.
You can try to install official Antutu from play store, or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Bfield.CpuIdentifier
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.curvefish.apps.deviceinfo&hl=en
These are Play Store apps that may help you identify your device or at least its innards.
Best of luck!

That answers your question about identifying the specs. Whatever device you have, is certainly not on the supported list of CyanogenMod, or other popular custom ROMs.
I'm afraid there's nothing more that I can offer you. You can ask around here and see if you get more info : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android
