[Q] S4 clone mt6577

Hi,
I humbly ask for assistance on my issue.
To begin with I swapped my iphone5 for an s4 to join the android os, and sad to say the s4 provided was a clone.
Reality bites and I cannot undo the epic fail that has happened. So now I am trying to use this s4 clone.
Details:
- all the features of the s4 clone works okay when I got it, sim is being read and able to make calls and sms.
- it had a theme selector icon button, wherein if you click it, it allows you to select different themes to select and apply.
- i think it is rooted from the start
Problem started as follows:
- being the new user I applied factory reset on the phone via: settings-accounts-backup and reset-factory data reset(selected erase phone storage)-reset phone.
-phone reset did happen but problem is when phone restarted: the sim card is not being read by the phone, (sim management option is greyed out(via setting-mydevice)
-basically the phone is not reading the sim card
-tried changing sim card, I even brought the phone to a repairshop but told me they cant fix it because its a clone, but was advised it was not a hardware issue.
-repairman said the phone should be re-programmed, was advised that the sim card reader software probably got erased when the phone was factory reset.
-repairman also checked the IMEI and said that IMEI is okay (no problem)
-there is no problem with my sim since it works on my nokia phone.
Phone details:
Single sim (micro sim)
Mediatek mt6577 x2 1.001ghz (as per cpu identifier)
Hdc i9500 galaxy s4 layout (as per cpu identifier)
512mb ram

Wifi works
Compass works
Air gesture works only on home screen and apps screen
Please help me..I really want to enjoy the android os, I cannot get a real s4 now, given I wasted my iphone5 for a knockoff.
Hopefully someone can help me on how this s4 clone can read the sim again.
If you need any additional info for my device please tell me so I can help.

S4 clone
Please help.l

I have this phone and have not used this setting yet. I have a backup of my original so if something like this were to happen, I can just use that and get back to where I was.
Essentially, I think that you may have lost your root (or something) with the factory reset... Check if you are still rooted by downloading Root Checker by Joey Krim. It's free, and will tell you if you are rooted or not. If you aren't, then maybe the root is what made sure the sim card was readable...
Now, if you don't have a root, you can follow the instructions on this page: http://semayi.blogspot.com/2013/03/mxnec-m307-mt6577-rooting-and-back-up.html
For our phones, if it is "stock", the phone will read as rooted according to Root Checker. However, if you use the program stated in the article it will show a yellow box in the lower-right corner if rooted. The article states that box should be green if fully rooted. I also saw the Backup button grayed out because of this... I hit the "Root" button, and it fully rooted the phone after several minutes (maybe 10 or so). This allowed me to create a full backup of my phone (as well as create a custom recovery from a copy of that backup).
If you're still having issues, tell me any other things you've tried or any other details and we'll go from there.

samsung S4 clone problem
well i read your post and i have 2 phones with same situation as yours and phone is full functionally but no network and seen "emergency only "
so its clear its sim is not read or some problem with reading to sim ....
so if anyone have some idea to solve this issue please help us..........
thanks a lot......

basically, you need to re-write the IMEI's (should be behind the backcover under the battery) into your NVRAM. there are basically 2 ways of doing this:
generating the IMEI file manually or using MAUI META 3G, SN Write Tool or MTK Droid tools. the first 2 methods will hardwrite them to your device, so if you want to wipe again everything will work fine from start. last one will softwrite them and they got wiped again after a factory reset. for now, just download Droid tools, klick on imei something and enter your imeis. (device needs to be in debugging mode, check your settings for that)

Im having a similar problem can anyone help
Hi All,
Im experiencing the same issue as the original poster.. after lots of searching in a relieved to have found this thread. My Galaxy S4 Spark is showing "no sim card detected"..
Having checked my Imei number and it is different from that on the back sticker. I have tried using MTK Tools to change it to the original one which is 3573********29 every thing looks to be successful but when i reboot and check the imei using *(Hash)06(hash) it show my imei as 3573********28/01..
I have also tried changing it using the mobile uncle app with the same result.. Needless to say my phone is showing no sim.
IS this normal or should the IMEI be showing as exactly the same as on the sticker.
Thanks in advanced,
Jonathan.

what phone did i buy?
Hello guys,
A few weeks ago i bought a samsung s4 clone 1:1 copy.Last days ive been reading allot on the forums but as a noob i cant see the trees through the wood ...im stuck... i did manage to root my divice but only after trying 10 -20 times.I used mtk droid tools.
My question is if anyone can tell me if there are other roms for this Phone and what Phone did i buy.
I hope someone can help me out. thanks .

MT6577 DualCore 2x1 Ghz, Android ICS 4.0 (4.2.2 is fake), Kernel Version 3.0.13. Device maybe can identified as mtk77_cu_ics2, but there are maybe few other builds out there using this name. i would higly recommend to store your backup on a safe place, if you lose it while playing around with ROMs device may be bricked forever. i cannot link you to another ROM - you need to port them yourself if you don't find a working one. you can search and try different ROM's, needrom.com is a good way to go. before flashing anything, make sure you never replace preloader or DSP_BL in flashtool. that is, for now, all can say. you need to dig deeper into your firmware to get all needed informations.

[Q] Huawei Y511-T00 Firmware / ROM's

Hello all and thanks for reading. I am hoping I can get some guidance and some sort of solution.
Long story short while in China I purchased a Y511-T00 instead of a Y511-U00. The first issue was upon returning home i realized I had no 3G. That I can live with using a MiFI device.
The problem I am facing is the Rom is laggy and it seems to be a half baked rom that was ported perhaps so the phone would be in english.
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn do not stay logged in when I restart.
Launcher sometimes freezes or goes blank for about 5-10 seconds
Contacts dont always show with a number immediately.
I am desperately in search of a Stock Rom with the regular Huawei Emotion UI or any other rom that may be more stable and user friendly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Alternatively does anyone know if i can use the U00 firmware on a T00 phone? I am worried I may brick the device if I start doing trial and error.
My phone details are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120

Anyone have any idea? I tried using google launcher but it tells me that I already have a default launcher and yet in applications there is no default set and the button is greyed out.

anyone idea please?

have the same phone which is rooted & I know of some stock ROMs which can be flashed with HiSuite.
I am a bit confused about what ROM you are running now, is it modded ?
I'll take a look at the build number you have specified and see what matches.
This phone is very low end Huawei.
Curious: What is the Build date ? (at bottom of about phone)

Well I have a copy of this ROM on my PC & it matches the Build Number (see screenshot) of what I have on my phone now.
It's stock but contains root too, so I have read. However I actually have not flashed my phone with this ROM.
It runs OK, some system messages still show in Chinese, but those are rare.
I rooted mine via an alternate method, I plan to slowly do some more tweaks when I have time
The ROM is around 270 Mb & another chopped version down I have is about 180 Mb
I cant see why you cant get 3G network, I am in Mainland China and have no real issues here, hope it works in Australia when I visit there.
With root I am sure you could tweak this.
My HuaWei USB 3g USB card works fine in Oz & China.
The primary use of this phone for me is to supply my 10" Tab 3 with 3G via WiFi.

Solution finally
After about 12 hours or so of trying different rom's namely u30 rom's including custom roms like Lewa Os. i realised that everytime my baseband would come up as unknown.
I finally used HUAWEI-Y511-T00 flash with SP Flash Tool to flash a basic T00 rom with no bloatware whatsoever just the core android apps.
I then used ES File, Framaroot and the South African system.img . I extracted all of the APK files from the system.img from the U30 rom and copied them one by one setting permissions to read, write - read - read for each Apk. I did a dalvic wipe and a cache wipe and restarted.
The end result is I know have Google Apps (the ones that I wanted) running perfectly with sync etc across all apps and my china mobile Y511-T00 now behaves like a normal y511-U00.
Points to note, you will need to backup your NVRAM so you can restore your imei and mac ID to get rid of the Warning NVRAM error. You will also need to write your original IMEI back use MKTdroid tools.
Custom rom's will not work, but I have set google launcher as my launcher and removed the regular launcher which I am happy with.
What ever you do, make sure you make a back up. The only thing I have not fixed is the startup animation and logo which i can live with. For UMTS / 3G I am using a mifi device that gives me 8 hours on the go but i barely need 3g as i use wifi more than anyting at home and office.

@ZWstyles
Yeah nice you have it sorted.
Still surprised you cant make use of 3G network natively in the phone do you have any ideas on that ?

Wife bought a s7 and I have found it is running a custom firmware few questions.

My Questions are where is this firmware from, is it safe to use ?
Seems to burn through the battery fast.
Smart switch didn't work correctly, what could I try as alternative (Old phone is S5)
Is there a better custom firmware I could use?
Could this have been done to get around a blocked IMEI ?
Would it be safe to Flash a Stock firmware, will it still work, what firmware would I use ?
Location is Australia and Network is Telstra.
Thanks

From what details you have presented that is a fake device, I would advise you return the phone immediately.
It's running Android Lollipop (S7 only has Android Marshmallow firmware) It seems it's got a 32Bit SoC; the S7 is 64Bit.

Hope she didn't pay more than $100 for it, because that's how much those fake ones are worth.

Yep paid almost top $$ for it, from an area I don't care to go back to
Don't know there even were fakes out there I'm guessing the camera is crap compaired to the real one also

Nobody has ever seen a 64G dual sim model in the wild. Sorry man.

oh man... that one is a fake S7

G930FD keep restarting itself after nougat

Guys really need help here, I just got a used indonesian g930fd (strangely it shows g930f on phone info) which keep restarting itself after upgrading to nougat (OTA). Also even if I already "power off" the phone, it still restarting (or booting?).
I've tried to factory reset from recovery, still keep restarting. Btw at first factory reset, somehow data partition got corrupted then second one success. Also when my data partition corrupted, the phone doesnt restart/on by itself like I mentioned before, so seems firmware related issue instead of hardware.
I also tried to go to two samsung service center, because first one somehow tell my imei is from singapore and second center tell mine is fro arab (wth) so I can't claim warranty eventho still below 1 year.
My question is:
1. Does reflashing stock (7.0) firmware will fix it?
2. Why phone info show my phone model as SM-G930F instead of G930FD?
3. Is it possible to change Product Code? rite now my product code is definitely Indonesian (SM-G930FZDUXID), originical CSC blank, everything else XID / Indonesia . I kinda have doubt now because two service centers tell different country, also sticker on back cover somehow tell its G930F, and print one on glass cover G930FD
Mind me if these question alrd asked before, but I already tried to search and googled everything and Im still lost here.
here's my firmware information from *#1234#
AP: G930FXXU1DQE7
CP: G930FXXU1DQD7
CSC: G930FOLE1DQCV
Model: SM-G930F/DS

Hi mate
Well mate , F and FD models have the same hardware and and use the same firmware , only difference is the SIM tray , they are different to fit one or or two sim cards depending on the models.
The model number is written in the build.prop ( do not know if somewhere else) if it only written there phoneinfo can be fooled , you can double check it by checking your IMEI at this site or other similar
http://www.imei.info/
It will tell you to what phone that IMEI was issued to. Check also with phoneInfo if the phone is original or refurbish
to your questions:
1. Does reflashing stock (7.0) firmware will fix it?
Is a good chance it will, if there is no hardware issues
2. Why phone info show my phone model as SM-G930F instead of G930FD?
do not know , check by your IMEI to see what the real model is
3. Is it possible to change Product Code? rite now my product code is definitely Indonesian (SM-G930FZDUXID), originical CSC blank, everything else XID / Indonesia . I kinda have doubt now because two service centers tell different country, also sticker on back cover somehow tell its G930F, and print one on glass cover G930FD
You can flash any F firmware with the desire CSC code , just download the firmware and flash it using CSC and not home_csc

Thanks for ur response! It's still original from phone info, now not tho since I already flashed new firmware.
Things that I already did:
1. Flashing two same 7.0 nougat for Indonesian version (updato and sammobile)
2. Tried entering recovery mode while charging to check if battery dead, result can't enter recovery mode means battery should be fine.
3. Checking serial number with Smart Switch somehow tell me it's from Arab. I can't restore tho since it keep restarting.
And restart issue still there. One thing for sure it does heat up everytime. While on odin mode, it never restart tho. I still can't find the problem
Is there chance for any other hardware failure somehow aside battery? Thanks!

Hi
It's still original from phone info, now not tho since I already flashed new firmware.
The original check in phoneinfo is regarding the hardware , it has nothing to do with the firmware also you can flash a different firmware to your phone and would be still original
1. Flashing two same 7.0 nougat for Indonesian version (updato and sammobile)
What files did you flash?
2. Tried entering recovery mode while charging to check if battery dead, result can't enter recovery mode means battery should be fine.
Not sure what you mean ...if you cant enter recovery while charging means battery is fine, that makes no sense, i doubt your issue is battery
3. Checking serial number with Smart Switch somehow tell me it's from Arab. I can't restore tho since it keep restarting.
I said check your IMEI to see to what device was asigned to , to see if it was assigned to a G930F or G930FD
Is there chance for any other hardware failure somehow aside battery?
motherboard...but if before of OTA was working fine i would think more in a firmware issue

S7 HELP! Phone changed imei, changed the model and cant connect to the network.

Good morning XDA,
I'm in desperate needing help, sorry but English is not my first language.
My brother bought a S7 G930F - Exynos that was GSM locked with one company here in Brazil, so he paid a guy to unlock it.
After getting the phone back I notice that the phone now shows G930FD, when I use *#06# to see the IMEI, shows two number, as if it was Dual SIM and both numbers are different that what is written in the back of the phone and the box and the rom seem to be 6.01 but with a lot of programs pre-installed.
So I downloaded the newest ZTO stock rom from SamMobile and flashed, now the phone is on 7.0 but can't connect to the network and still show the tow differents imei numbers.
Any tips or guidance and how can I Solve this?
Thanks, TggB!
