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.

Question about two different stock rom options

hey guys, i tried searching the forums but ended up having to post this question. is "GT-P3113_XAR_1_20120412104938_ldcgx9tzmx.zip" (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295) the same as "IML74K-P3113UEALCB-stock.zip" (dead link found here: http://goo.im/devs/jcase/IML74K-P3113UEALCB-stock.zip)?
just curious if they are the same because i will be reverting my galaxy tab 2 7.0 back to stock rom to send it in for repairs.
just thought i'd ask here since xda developers are the best in the biz right now.
thanks in advance.

The thing is you need to be sure it matchs your region you bought it from.
Check samsung-updates.com, they have the latest in different areas directly from the samsung kies servers.
Hope this helps

just bought the galaxy tab 2 7.0 from Costco. I think I need the one from goo apps but link has been disabled. Wish "jcase" could reupload it.
**UPDATE**: the model # on my original box says "GT-P3113TSSXAR". SW-VER is "UEALD3". so yes, i do need the version that jcase had uploaded. damn.

[Q] Unsure how to root Galaxy Tab 2 P3110

Hey Guys,
I've just purchased a Galaxy tab 2 P3110 (7.0) and i would like to root the device, and put Cyanogenmod 10 or 10.1 on it, as this is christmas present for a close relative and want the added features Cyanogen offers. I already have this installed on a Samsung S3.
I've seen quite a few different guides on the forums and other websites, all with differing ways to root the device and install custom ROM, can someone please provide a recommended guide to follow.

Check the 7 tab development thread.
Basically you need to download a program named Odin and use it to flash the proper cwm recovery to your tab. Then you boot that recovery to install the rom. You don't need to root, rooting is only if the rom you use is not rooted, like stock rom etc. You also don't need to unlock the bootloader or anything like that.

Kies is just so that you have the correct usb drivers so that your device is recognized by windows. You can also just install the drivers stand alone or Kies.

get odin and the file from the chainfire topic on the dev section
flash it and voila
quite simple, purchased mine last week and already flashed a lot of things

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your great help so far.
Not sure if this is applicable but figured i would check before i do it. I've noticed on my device its listed as a P3110, but on a few of the instructions and the CF-AUTO root its listed as model number GT-P3110, from what i have its a plain tab 2, without phone.

yeah we just drop the GT- from the front of the model name as a sorta shorthand the 3 Models for the 7" (not counting the verizon that uses a different model number string) are the GT-P3100, GT-P3110 and GT-P3113 and the 10.1" versions replace the 3 at the beginning with a 5 so they are GT-P5100, GT-P5110 and GT-P5113 they are the same thing whether they have the GT in front or not, its just quicker to not type it out everytime.

BRILLIANT

Verizon Galaxy Note 10.1 SCH-i925

Does anyone know how I can root this device? It is locked to Verizon, but if the custom roms work on it, and standard rooting works with it, then all is well.
I received this as a bogus ebay purchase. I bid on a N8000, but received this SCH-i925.. For the most part, I just want root, and am not overly concerned about custom roms... I just don't know what the differences with this model is from any of the N80** models are..
Thanks for the info guys!

Well, the ExynosAbuse exploit worked for root, now I need to figure out how to add the Bell APN info to it.. anyone know how to enable the option to add APN info to the SCH-i925? Or if I can use the N8000 recoveries and ROMs out there?

The Verizon tablet is LTE, the 8000 is 3G so you'll probably brick your tablet if you use anything but a ROM for an LTE tablet. I'm surprised that the Exynos Abuse exploit worked since Samsung supposedly included it's patch in the version of Jellybean shipping in the Verizon LTE tablet.

Damn man I have been looking for this tablet.

I'll very happily buy this off you and give you my N8000....I've been trying to get my hands on the LTE version...

You should have said something over a week ago. I am in the process of fighting with the eBay seller I got it from. He is trying to rip me off for the tablet.

How much did you pay for it? can you give me the link on ebay where you bought it from? I have been looking all over waiting anxiously to get my hands on that verizon note 10.1. You already sent it back to him or is it still with you?

Are you kidding me? I'm possibly down what I paid for the tablet, and you want a link to it? Send me $700, and I'll point you in his direction.

The note 10.1 LTE cannot be used with another carrier in the US. Verizon won't unlock it. They say it is already unlocked so that you won't bother them anymore.

This is classic Verizon Crap, hereinafter referred to as "Satan". I don't know what deal Samsung's GT-N8020 made with the devil in the US but it is clearly only being served as a SCH-I925. I will be watching , listening and offering what ever I can to help restore order to my newly purchased Note 10.1.

Soft unbrick Verizon I925
Hello guys...
First of all, let me say a big thanks for all that hard working on finding a way to unlock
It seems I have soft bricked verizon's I925 tablet while trying to add those apn's and make it work outside the US. I used CAUSAL to get it root and then I used the apn editor which made the damage.
Since there is no bootloader hack yet, I wonder if there is any way I can restore it back and have it working in any way.
I have tried via odin's utility and stock roms for N8010, but I get a fail. Does anyone has the stock verizon's rom?
I will greatly appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you in advance,
imor

UPDATE: Soft unbrick Verizon I925
Guys here is a small update on my case.
Good News: The soft bricked I925 is once again working with certain limitations. I had mariosraptor (post credits to him) install a clean non verizon N8020 version on it.
Bad News: Despite the fact that sim card gets recognized, it does not gets activated. Another possible problem "haven't yet figured out" is GPS.
Things to clear out...
I really don't know if I had the bootloader changed while trying to recover it at the beginning. In Odin's download mode, the model refers as GT-N8010 and not as SCH-I925. Members can validate thought...

imor, I seem to be having the same issue, as I have also bricked my tablet. I originally rooted about two months ago using casual, and the OTA update screwed it up today. I am pretty new to this and not sure what needs to be done. I can only get my tablet to ODIN mode, and able to connect it to ODIN on my computer, but I have no idea what I am supposed to flash to the device. Any help is extremely appreciated.

So I am willing to help out and make a stock recovery and see if you restore it on your Verizon see if all your problems go away I will do this later tonight

[Jailbreak]Root Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Verizon- i925) - Root/Jailbreak/Recovery

It's 2016, and I need to know the truth about rooting the I925. I reset it to factory settings and here is what I have:
Model SCH-I925
Android Version = 4.1.2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1481643
Build # JZ05454K.I925VRAMK1
Hardware Version I925.03
Is is possible to put Cyanogen on this?
I have tried several ways and the only successful way I have rooted it was King Root. But I was never able to get a recovery on there. I used Heimdall, according to the Cyanogen Website, with no success. I really thought CASUAL was the answer, but now I see that it doesn't work with the updated version. I need the pro on here to help me! I really want cyanogen on it! I am a newbie and using Windows on this..

Try the forum for your model .

I too fall into the same category and have not found a definite answer, has the MK1 stumped all who come against it? Or is root and unlocked b/l a trade secret? I have rooted many devices in my past from G1 to EVOs to newer devices and nothing has been more or less unknown around here like this device is....what gives??

What locked bootloader
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app

It's hard to find a good how-to with this one it seems. There are many tutorials but usually for the other variants and not the Verizon one. The ones that seem to be for the right device use apps to install a recovery but the apps don't seem to support this model either.

I guess there is no luck for this tablet at all... I got it for cheap at this point (4 years after its release)! And there doesnt seem to be a way to even downgrade

So this means there is no fix for Galaxy note 10.1 SCH-I925. Would you happen to know if Casual is available for this model somewhere in this forum. Thanks for your response. mariomr

No sorry no idea .

the only thing that is achieved is to root, unfortunately there is no way to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP
I also found the 4 stock files to recover by odin, but I did not verify it
