ok so i see these cheap generic samsung galxy phones they ;look like notes or megas. so the question is can we root them and put custom roms on them and basically turn them into a nice phone? they seem like decnt phones and i myself like to have a phone and not have to spend a arm and a leg and since i can fix phones and am new to rooting and custom roms etc i figure they would be a nice phone to maybe use. i am a sprint customer so what would i tell sprint my phone was? to activate it etc. please if anyone has done anything with one of these phones let me know your experience thank you

Hey XDA,
I am rather new here but love the site and more so, love phones and making them reach there best potential
Anyway. I have a Samsung Galaxy fit, It has the latest Updates (2.3.4) and its baseband is S5670XWKQ4
I am just wondering if there are any decent custom ROMS for this device and if there is a nice easy way to root it. I have searched and found some rooting methods, but those methods were before the latest Update to my phone and as such I wonder if all I will do is brick my phone lol.
I have heard of the SuperOneclick method but I need to go and check it out to see if it is compatible with my phone.
I am choosing to do this now as I am fairly sure due to the Galaxy fit being more of a Budget smartphone that its unlikely to get ICS
I look forward to your advice guys. Cheers
Hi
I am wondering if i have a phone that is so new that there is no mention if it here. I was trying to find out how to root it and was given a program that works with all kinds of phones, it worked but I still don't know of it is different than the s4 sgh-i337. the reason I wanted to root the phone is that I want to create a hot spot which I can't do. I guess if you just tell me how to make this phone into a hot spot that would work but I really want to know what forums I need to use to do things with this phone. It is a new phone for smart talk (AT&T).
Thanks
Hi,
I've seen that you've posted in the S4 forums already. And that would be a good place. Yes, you have an obscure model and no... It's not the same as a the others.... And flashing anything not specifically made your model could destroy your device.
But for asking questions... You already "found your way".... . ?
Good luck. ?
I currently use a Samsung Galaxy SIII on verizon. I did the whole rooting and bootloader thing (whatever you call it). Im in the market for a new phone and was wanting some insight on what new phones are out there that i can do the same thing. I love the ability to load custom roms and do away with all the bloatware that come with every phone. Can some one help out with letting me know what phone still has the capability to root like i did my SG3. I keep reading that the new galaxy phones are impossible to root anymore. I was leaning towards the note 4 but it looks like theres not root for it. Im looking for a phone that I know can be rooted (along with the bootloader) and where i can use custom roms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
you won't get your question answered on XDA. I suggest you search for the best phone you should pick yourself. For the ability to root the phone you desire, I recommend you to have a look if there is a device forum on XDA and that the phone is rootable.
Good luck!

Hi All,
Im not new to this custom rom thing, i swiched from BB to a Samsung Galaxy 2, and been a galaxy fan ever since, and rooted every single one of em, along with custom roms.
But i'm geniunly stuck now, if you google note 3 custom roms its staggering, but almost all of them ive found and theres a few have issues.
Im tired now and my head hurts, what i want is Android 6 Rom, i dont care about the spen i never use it, i dont care that NFC might not work, but i must have something that allows the device to be used all day every day, so wifi, calls DATA, 4g would be nice since the device supports it, but i know how ficcle roms can be from time to time.
So can anyone share there personal experiance of the custom rom there using along with anything that doesnt work as expected, so i can attempt to make a more informed decision about my choices
Thanks all in advance
I am looking to upgrade the ROM on my phone since some of my apps are no longer being supported. I dont want to purchase a new phone since I really like the phone and the new phones all seem to be mini-computers. I like my small phone!
Is there anyone out there that can point me to a ROM that would work for the Stellar and get me to at least 4.5?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Your device doesn't have a dedicated forum here and as it's fairly uncommon and several years old there doesn't seem to be much dev support for it. The only relevant thread I could find is this one but it isn't too helpful. That's all I have I'm afraid, unless you want to ask in the general Q&A and hope for the best.
