Chinese Android Phones can you flash?

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.

[Q] Bricked HTC One X Plus HELP!!!

OK first off apologies for being such a noob idiot. I've converted from years of iPhones and thought it would be easy to root a HTC One X Plus. I've owned one for around 24hrs now and it's spent most of it's time being broken.
I've have searched high & low for an answer and checked all other posts for fix's but I still can't get this working. I am a complete newbie to Android so please spell things out.
I've basically got it in a state now where it boots but no wifi or carrier - bluetooth seems ok. wifi just says error when trying to enable.
I used Hassons tool for the phone, but unfortunately when it got to kernel options in the tutorial I got a bit lost. I flashed the kernel and since then I have no wifi etc. so I'm guessing I've used the wrong one.
I don't know which to use and to make things worse now I can't seem to find the correct RUU so I can revert back to factory settings.
Model HTC One X Plus - O2 UK
Can somebody please help? Thanks.

Well, congratulations, you have NOT bricked your phone. From what i can understand, you just flashed a kernel not supported on your phone. You can download any ROM for your phone and flash it. It will hopefully solve your issue

Well that's a relief, thanks. I think this must be the route of the problem obviously as I could only find 2 kernels that I thought were compatible.
Anybody know if there is a list of compatible kernels for a HTC One X Plus O2 UK???
Thanks again.

Can I CWM a non-development phone bought in the shop?

Do I need one of those "vanilla" developer phones if I'm to install a custom ROM on my Note 3? As far as I know, nope. You can root any Android phone.
I'm fairly sure that I can ClockWorkMod + install custom ROM on a phone I purchase in a shop. But I just want to make sure .
Thank you in advance .

You are joking, right ?
If not, yes.

Although my question seemed that of a noob, I can assure you I am not. My first rooted phone was HTC Tytn2 which I rooted using Duty's ROM's which I found here back in 2008. So no worries . Now I have a rooted SG2. I know all the procedures, safety steps and so on.
The reason I asked such a dumb question was that I had a 1% uncertainty regarding this, which I was unwilling to risk on.
As far as I know, the so-called dev-phones are simply loaded with a vanilla version of Android, no Samsung bloatware.
Anyway, thank you guys for calming my fears .

There´s only one Google Edition phone in Samsung, the S4. Still, you can get a "normal" S4 and still flash it like crazy.

root HTC One ME (OPLA 130 M9EW) with HTC One Plus files ?

Hi Nerds,
I just get my new HTC One ME from China and I wonder that there is still no specific way to root it. The hardware is allmost from the M9 Plus. You can compare the ME to M9+ (gsm arena website) sorry not aviable to post links yet ^^. the difference between this two devices is, the ME got no aluminium case and there is no 2nd Camera on the back side. And unfortunately no USB 3.0. but the same chipset cpu and gpu.
my question is, can I root it with the common HTC ONE M9 PLUS files. I really dont want to brick it, so i better ask =)
thanks!

Well, i think there's already a recovery for m9ew, but in chinese:
http://bbs.mgyun.com/thread-44535-1-1.html
someone here with good Chinese might help you to download it and upload it to somewhere easier to access.
It may be tho' in Chinese inside TWRP so you'll need a dictionary possibly. Or you can try extract it with https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools and replace the ui portrait resources with english inside twres, then repack.
And to answer the question: I wouldn't try it with m9pw (m9+) recovery, very high chance of failure, at least not without a full RUU zip to make sure you can restore phone to stock.

Yes,the hardware of ME is almost same as M9+. But don't use the same recovery for it only if you already have a RUU.
Bellow is a english version recovery for ME from http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8014295-1-1.html
download：http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTs0fNh
password：8ft8
and then you could flash root file.
Reminder:
1. You’d better have a RUU .
2. flash the recovery and initially go to the recovery will break your system from OTA. If you would,try to repack it.

Unless you have a unmodified system image backup, you won't apply OTA from original hTC update. If you can get the OTA file somewhere and extract the firmware. Flash it manually and follow the ROM chef to flash custom ROM.
I didn't find out any custom ROM released on the above website. You need to join their QQ group to get one and I don't have a QQ account ( china mobile phone number). I am happy there was a XDA forum to share information for M9+.

hello, i have m9ew with radio 1405. can anyone guide me into installing GAPPS ?

I got mine from HK so it came with gapps. where did you find yours in China? i could not find anyone who had the ME in China. With regards to Gapps, did your phone come with HTC market? if so u can usually get gapps directly from there. its an app called gms or gsm, i cant remember exactly. then you run that app and it will install gapps automatically, just follow the onscreen instructions. That was the case with my M7 dual sim.

any updates on this? solutions?

Hello,
I wonder if this phone can be rooted using any of the one click methods ??

sorry

First of all thanks for prompt reply, I can't read Chinese myself so I didn't dare too but I unlocked the bootloader officially in case I figure out root method.
The phone is doing great though I miss rooting tools but I face a serious issue which is overheating which is so frustrating for me.
It makes it lagging and slow and I have to let it cool down to regain its full power

Blu Studio 7.0 Official Thread (Variants 1 and 2)

I've looked everywhere on Xda in search of a support thread for the Blu studio 7.0 I and II. Couldn't find either. So I figured I would create one. If I have created it in the wrong section please move it to the correct section. Thanks
The Blu studio 7.0 is a "low end" android device that comes carrier unlocked and supports dual Sim. You can obtain it for GSM and CDMA networks. As the name states. This device offers a 7 inch screen and is considered a phablet. I haven't ever used the first version of the Blu studio 7.0, but the specs are not that great on paper.
The second version has 1gb of ram and a quad core processor. On paper the screen specs aren't too great, but I've not had any issues with the way it looks. The worst part of this phone is no flash, and camera quality is hit or miss. I don't use the camera too much anyways other than making YouTube videos for my blog. So it's not a huge downfall.
The operating system on the 2nd variant runs android lollipop and I've read rumors that it's going to be upgraded to marshmallow when it's available. Most of the already released Blu devices will not receive android 6.0.
Root is very easily obtained on the Blu studio 7.0, if you need help obtaining it. Just ask below and I'll assist you in obtaining root. You don't need a computer, and it's just 1 click from your phablet.
The studio 7.0 supports 4g but not lte which may be a downfall in your eyes, but 4g is fast enough for what I do so far.
This phone is very very responsive and hasn't lagged at all for me. I consider myself a power user. I am constantly using multiple apps all at the same time (Google a sense, analytics, Fanduel, WordPress, multiple websites opened, texting app, tapatalk and a few others all running in the memory with no lag).
If you've ever used a lower end device. You know that one of the most annoying plagues on them are keyboard lags. I absolutely hate when I have to slow down my typing because the keyboard can't keep up. It makes me want to smash phones. This keyboard is great. Never lags, and never freezes.
For under 150$ usd. I'd buy it again.
___________
If you need any help with your Blu 7.0 this is the thread to ask for it. As well as asking, please give support for this phone as well. As of right now. I don't believe that there are any custom roms for it yet. If you know of any custom roms for this phone. Please post them here as well.

Battery life: the battery on this phone is amazing. I can go through an entire day and a half on a full charge. I believe it's around 3800 mah. It does take a few hours to charge though. It doesn't get hot to the touch either. A lot of phones get hot if using it while charging. So far I haven't noticed that with this device.

I sure hope so because I would love to see some progress on Mods for this device. I have one that we couldn't use at work (some stupid lady tried forcing her SIM into the SD Card slot) so I use it as a Droid tablet. I will say that this is one of the reasons I will never buy Android; finding legit info on modding Droid phones is so hard and most sites are nothing more than fake sites that want me to complete surveys. I'll stick with my iPhone 6s Plus as my primary phone, but this BLU would be a whole lot more fun to play around with if 90% of any info I find on it wasn't false.

I need some help... I was messing around with my build prop and now everything is huge and i don't know how to get it back to regular size... I've looked in all the options to make things small but still no luck I even tried factory reset and still no luck I have the Blu studio 7.0ii

Stuck on the BLU Bold like us screen. Will not go beyond that. IS there ANYWHERE to get the stock image? Everywhere I have found you either have to pay for it, or it's a BS survey scam.
