Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I've heard of this before. It's called iDroid. I just looked it up, and the project is either stalled (stuck on version 2.3 Gingerbread where the current OS is 6.0 Marshmallow), or dead (some of the pages I browsed failed to work). Also, it seems, it only applied to the iPhones 2G, 3G, and 3GS.
So though there may still be an option out there, because the base is Apple, XDA doesn't document much on that ("these aren't the droids you are looking for" ).
XDA does have a sister site:
http://www.xda-developers.com/iphone-developers-officially-launches/
They should be able to break down the options for you. You will probably need to register over there as well.
Hope it helps!

Hey huwaw69,
I think there is no way around rooting and flashing another ROM.
Please follow these Instructions:
Rooting:

What do you mean by: I think there is no way around rooting and flashing another ROM.
I Used z4root to Root the phone but the option i choosed was the temporary.
Now what? what is gonna happen? how am i gonna acecss something?
Hey huwaw69,
now you can install ROM Manager and ClockworkMod to flash a new ROM
good luck,
greetings,
KanocX
Hey huwaw69
I didn't have that problem, but it looks like you have the same model of phone that I have. I bought my phone second hand, and it had a few troubles with it's configuration which I manages to sort our by doing a factory reset and sifting through all the settings for both my phone and for my network.
However, the best thing I've done so far for my phone (and my sanity) was to install a custom rom on my phone (just like KanocX suggested). Before you do anything though, BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM... i.e.all your contacts and messages and such (which you can do with a free app like Titanium Backup... but if you can't access Android Market, I'm not sure how you can get it).
Just so you know, I'm no expert with the current generation of phones, but after some careful reading on this forum in the x10 Mini Pro Q & A section, all in all after a coupla hours my phone was better than ever, and bug/crash/freeze free.
Again, I'm no expert, but installing a custom rom I'd say is the way to go

Anyway what ROM are you using? or what ROM can you suggest?
hiii, i am using android 2.3.4, very basic kind of mobile mts mtag 351. please help me in finding custom rom into it, i searched on xda as well as many other sites by writing the model number of this phone but unable to get any rom as its very normal kind of phone, also can i update it to ics or Jb? please help me in finding suitable rom for this phone. links, software or any other info very much appreciated. thnks in advance
more info in attach image.
Hi, sad to say. There is no development carried out for your device, hence why you were unable to find any custom roms lurking around the internet. Judging by the year model of this device, it is fairly old and let me blast out all the sadness to you.
I highly doubt your device will receive any update.
Same with custom roms, but maybe some dev may get this phone? Idk why.
And may make a custom rom for it.
Sad to say friend, your device is far to outdated to receive ICS or JB or any new Android platform.
Time for you to upgrade if you wish to say in line within the platform standards.

ohh k thanks for the reply well is it not like that i can flash wid any android 2.3.4 custom firmware ? for ex, here are the list
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196704, is that work ?
No that's not how it works.
If you flash another devices .IMG or ROM to your device it will brick it. Meaning it will no longer be usable.
Better explained, you can't install a Samsung firmware for your device. It won't work.

ohhh,k thanks a lot for the answer that makes thing very clear.
Hello Guys, First time poster here. I have been scouring the internet for the past few days looking for some solutions, and found that XDA was the best place for android users to congregate and give help and opinions.:highfive:
First off, let me start off by saying that I am a complete android noob when it comes to messing around with rooting and flashing. So pardon if some of the things I say come across as foolish.
My girlfriend bought me what she thought was an original iphone 5s on her recent trip to China where she was teaching English. Little did she know that she got fooled into buying what I now found out is a Goophone i5s MF353zp/a. :crying:Since I want to keep the phone since she did get it for me as a nice gesture, I am trying to get it to run a regular android 4.2.2 jelly bean or better, without all the iphone icons and iphone crap. Also the phone did not come with playstore so I cannot download apps that I would use on a regular basis. Also most of the stuff is in Chinese and I just want to be able to use it as a regular android phone. I read up on roms, and rooting and flashing, but if someone could tell me the best way to go about getting a regular android version on the phone along with google play store, It would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading my long post. Be Safe. Cheers :good:

Thanks for your reply. Are you sure about this? Because it is currently running 4.2.2 with an ios skin from what I could read on the internet.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. There is not much information about your device on XDA but I did find these which may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449981
http://www.xda-developers.com/goophone-i5-unboxed-the-xda-way-xda-developer-tv/
I'm not that familiar with the Goophone but I believe you'll want to know the what I believe is the processor number, it starts with MTK followed by 4 numbers. Before you do anything see if you can find that and then ask in the threads linked. If all else fails ask in this forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck!

Thanks buddy. I'll check out the links you gave. :good: I might have come across the links before, but I was too scared to try something since I did not want to brick the phone. As for the processor number, I came across MT6572, if that's the one. I can't find anything with MTK. Appreciate your help in this. :fingers-crossed:
Yes, it was my mistake on the MTK. It's MT. I'll close this thread then.
I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
Hi everyone! I have hugely research on all forums and google also but I'm afraid it does not exist . But that does not prevent me either my question here hoping that this is the right place to find answers to my question. That is my question from above, Is there a CUSTOM ROM for Archos 55 Platinum? if yes which one ? I'll take it
Thank you
Hi,
I'm looking for something similar, I didn't found the stock firmware - Archos doesn't provide it and don't want to provide it (For unknown reason)
If anyone have it, I'm interrested to have it ( I brick my device )
Thank you,
o0Zz
Ok never mind, finaly found a rom on needrom.com
A bit tricky to flash it but at the end it works perfectly, thanks to [email protected]

Hi,
With the program "Debloater" deleted all google services from my phone, and a lot more.
So I can not start a "recovery mopus" because the services are deleted.
From the archos support you can find or get no answer:
I must and would like another Android version to flashen the phone, since the 5.1 android version is infected with a virus.
I need the full help to a different android version to play / new firmware or synonymous flash.
How do I do it, and what do I need it for?
Archos support gives very little information how to do that. The phone is new and too bad to throw it into the garbage. Especially since I'm not rich and I can not buy a new phone.
Please for your help and thanks for their effort

It depends on if the stock firmware for your device has been made available to the public, to find if it is available, do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
If that doesn't find anything then your firmware isn't available and you'll have a hard time finding anything. You'll have to put something together from similar devices and modify it to work on yours, if you aren't a developer with extensive knowledge then chances are you won't be able achieve this.
