ROOT a fake S6 ?! - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I read several forums, so I installed cpu-z to know on what mtk my phonewas running. Strangely I was on Exynos Octa 7420. So I put my phone in download mode, and appeared a Chinese menu (that's how I know I have a fake s6).
So I would like to know, is there a way to install a recovery and a rom on a phone like this ?!
PS: model number is sm-g920l on lollipop 5.0.2

I think you can try kingroot because supports a lot of smartphones, and if the root method works then you can try follow this guide for switching to supersu

i think its just fake info keep in mind they still can trick apps to show fake info if you want to root it without knowing what are you doing it may end up dead forever

I found that it's a mtk mobile. But my version (mt6735) is unrootable ... Any idea why ?!

Why so you even have a fake device? How about returning it for a real one?

There are a few root methods for this chipset, you need to make sure the bootloader is unlocked though 1st before trying. I had a quick google for root methods and did see a few possible working ones.

can install rom on chinese phone?

If i buy Galaxy SII chinese copy again whit android whit 1 sim , can i flash phone whit costume android rom ? or is it posible to root it ? Did anybody have expirence whit that?​
It's all about software & all country have same software for same model. So u can do all this things.but don't sure about Chinese copy.

With these Chinese copies, there's no guarantee that anything will work like the original, since they don't have the same chips inside. You may be able to root, you might even be able to flash a new ROM, but the chance of finding a custom recovery or ROM which is 100% compatible is low. For that reason, your best chance is to not flash anything, otherwise you might brick it.
i think

I have a Chinese galaxy note mt6575 replica so far it has been fantastic.
I have rooted it with bin4ry without any problems
I have flashed cwm custom recovery with help from the tutorials on xda and help from senior member yuweng
To flash a custom rom i would have to port it first to get it to work with my device more effort to do it but at least its possible.

I'm not clear:
If you mean a genuine samsung phone: Yes, you can flash roms etc. But if possible double check the forums etc to make sure you can easily find all of the info and downloads you need based on the version numbers etc. If you can read chinese I think you will find tons of forums/support both on XDA.cn and local sites
If you mean a copy: Don't do it. 99% sure you will be disappointed very fast both by the quality / performance and by the lack of any community support.

[Q] Questions about flashing stock ROM

I recently found that my tablet, which does not support OTA updates, has a stock 4.4.2 ROM available for download. The only problem is that I'm not entirely sure on how to actually flash a new ROM to my device. From my understanding I do not need to unlock my bootloader to flash a stock ROM (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm not sure what to do beyond that. If it helps my tablet is a Ceros Revolution with a Rockchip RK3188 quad core processor, and isn't rooted. Also, will it delete my data off the tablet? Thanks in advance!

The problem is that I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only owners of this tablet, there is almost nothing for it anywhere on the internet.

What exactly are you trying to achieve my flashing it? If it were me and I was at all unsure I wouldn’t do it with such an unknown device.

Ok I understand, I’m sure someone has knowledge of this device. I would expect you’d have to be certain your flashing the right thing before doing it!

There is not a stock firmware available for that specific device, faked devices don't have any software support. You're chasing a ghost.
The best you can hope for is a firmware that is "close" to what you need and even if you install it, there will probably be features and functions that won't work without modifying the firmware to make it completely compatible with the device.
Personally, I suggest they forget about that device and get a non-faked device, they'll be better off that way.
I don't understand why anyone would waste their money on fake devices and then think they can do the things with it that can be done with brand named devices.
It's like intentinally and knowingly spending money to have your face stomped into the dirt.
I would think that the average person is smarter than that, but I guess not.

Hello, there actually is. That you can't do the same features you can install ok phones like samsung, that i know. But there is a stock flashrom, there is for all such phones, i just need someone who can export it (if they have the same model) so i can flash it back on.

If your device has a stock firmware that is available to the public, then why haven't you downloaded it and flashed it? I'll tell you why, because it doesn't exist, that is why.
So, I say again....
No, that is not true at all. Not all devices have a stock firmware that is available to the public. This is especially true for cloned/faked devices. I've never seen a cloned device that has a firmware that is available to be downloaded and flashed. Everyone I've ever seen here with a cloned/fake device that needed a stock firmware has had to find firmware from a different device that is close to the same thing as the device they had and then modify the firmware to work on their device, some never find anything that works.
Sure, parts of the stock ROM can be dumped from the device if it is rooted, but, that won't give you the entire firmware from the device, there are parts that can't be dumped.
I don't think you understand what is going on as well as you think you do.
I searched for the firmware for you. I found a lot of devices with P31 in the name, some of them have a firmware that is available, but none of them were the device you have. I did not find anything that you can use.
See what I mean? Cloned devices have absolutely no software support of any kind. The people that make these devices don't care about supporting their product or supporting the customer, all they care about is making the devices and selling them to whatever fool will buy them.
When you buy a fake device, you take your chances and you better hope nothing goes wrong because you're pretty much screwed if it does.

Question Port a snapdragon 8 gen 1 rom

Hello everyone, my friend has this phone (Honor magic V and I would love to know if is it possible to port a rom from another phone with the same soc to this one, I once have ported rom from Mediatek to another Mediatek device but I have never tried porting on Snapdragon based device, can someone please enlighten me?
The main reason for this is to get Google services working on this device as I have searched everywhere for the way to install Google apps to no avail
Anyone?
To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible to install Google Play Services on that phone.

I have honor magic vs (chinese version sadly) its still on android 12 magic os 7 and cant install play store but for sure global rom(magic os 7.1 ) has gms integration possible. Now the problem is if chinese devices will get an update based on removal of global restrictions or not. chinese people don't use google for obvious reasons.
ping me if you have any update. I am also trying my seller to get international rom for mine.

I will, but I am losing hope as no one is willing to guide me on how it's done (the porting stuff) on snapdragon based soc, I have been doing it on mediatek but I am totally new to this snapdragon world
