You can go to Colonel Zap blog to search for the rom. I believe he has a rooted firmware for the HDC branded one. If yours is the Star or Tinji brand, just search for tinji i9300 in XDA and you can find the rooted firmware for it as well.
I just got a bigger version from fastcardtech.com and they call it the HDC Galaxy note II clone. This is a really new model just released this month in September.
I just completed a review on it so you can check it out on youtube.

I hope someone can make a rooted firmware for this as well. I have to settle for stock for the time being.

Hi
I've bought one s3 clone yesterday in Singapore. No brand.
It's a 6577 dual core with 1gb ram and 2gb rom.
The screen is 1280x720 PX what is quite nice.
I've rooted it with the spark tool and it worked.
But I can't access to my sdcard. It's not mounted.
Does any one know how to use it ?

Thx for all ya responses. I figured out how to root my phone. Very tideous process but all done now
hi i need help.. i need the stock rom for my phone s3 9300... its 1.2GHz MTK MT6577 processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB ROM and i got it from Android sales
i tried rooting it with a ram from colonelZap hdc-galaxy-i9300-siii-plus-mt6577
and now my touch screen has gone crazy.. i need to unroot it and i dont have the stock rom... please someone share and help me
Hey guys,
Thanks for this informative thread. I am interested in a similar phone, the Hero 9300+. Any suggestions?
P.S. that S3 clone is sexay, but too fat. Lol
This is how I rooted my S3 i9300 mtk6577 android 4.1. U can try this process for any mtk6577 device but do this with caution and at your own risk. I haven't flashed the ROM bcoz it's too risky with these Chinese clones.
*Install the MTK6577 usb drivers http://www.4shared.com/rar/0MvyztbR/usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_ZTE_.html? cau2=403tNull
*Download the rooting .rar file (v2) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
*please note that no apps must be open or running during the process.
*Connect the phone- should have the USB-Debug option enabled in settings.
*click RunMe.bat file and selectthe "Other" (option 4)
*click Restore option on ya mobile to backup ya data and then wait for the magic.
*Mobile should reboot twice and the command prompt on ya PC shows this msg: "Successful, going to reboot your device!"
*After completion, command prompt should state if phone has been rooted and superuser n terminal emulator apps automatically installed on ya mobile*
*After rooting my phone, I didnt see the superuser.apk file and just installed the superuser app from play store. U can also use any root checker apps to confirm that ya phone is rooted.
*To delete Chinese apps and anything u don't want, I used "Root App Delete" from play store. This app shows which system files u should not delete so PS do this with caution.
VIOLA!

Not an answer as such but i am using the same phone in the UK, Do you have any ideas as to how to stop it roaming when you make a call, I am using a UK Giffgaff and UK Orange sim but when i topped up yesterday it cained my credit like no tomorrow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Regarding ya issue, have u tried settings > sim management > roaming and change ya options accordingly. Hope that works.

I have tried that but alas no joy .... Are you in the Uk using the phone yourself ?
Yes! I'm using the phone here in London on giffgaff ad lebara Sims. Try removing the battery and simcard for a min before placing them back. The giffgaff similar should reset to original settings. Have u also tried a giff gaff goody bag, its much cheaper. If alI fails, I think u should safely back up ya data and do a factory reset.

Download MobileGo for Android on winXp
Open the application on your PC and connect ya phone via USB. make sure USB debugging is enabled. the computer automatically searches for ya mobile phone to the last detail. It may show a diffierent make since its a clone. so no worries about that.
Then click back up and it will back up all ya contacts, sms, all downloaded and system apps. so in case u need them later, just connect ya fone and click restore. no apps must be running during the back up or restore processes.

I write this tool to check for the original/genuine Note 3, as many people face with a fake/clone Note 3.
Download this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★
Go to the Menu --> [Note 3] Fake / Clone Detector. That's all. And please report if you think this app returns an incorrect result.
Cheers.
New update available:
Improve '[Note 3] Fake / Clone Detector' function, for better compatibility with custom ROM.
Why You Need A Clone detector? All you need to do is look at how much internal storage the phone comes with because the clones only got something like 3gigs!

Yes, should be concerned. These info should be matched on the most of phones. If they don't match, the reason can be the phone is not the original one (i.e it has been modified etc..)
Can you post all screenshots from the app? And also the screenshot that says "does not match..."

To get the Gear S2 to work in CM13 follow these steps:
1) In build.prop edit anything that says samsung to something else (I put "htc"). I only found two, manufacturer and brand. This will now break the app store ability to download the app(s)
2) Download and install the APK for the Gear Manager and the Accessory Service (and maybe the S2 Plugin)
example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/themes-apps/samsung-gear-manager-samsung-accessory-t3216240
3) You may encounter some app closures and stuff right away (I did) but wait for a minute and try again, eventually things settle down service launch and you can connect to your gear.
*Things to note: It will make you hard reset your watch, but you won't lose your purchases, just will have to reset everything and re-download everything.
That's it. I have my Gear s2, working with CM13 as we speak.
Also FYI, once done, rerooting does not stop the Gear Manager app from working.
I don't need to do any of that. I can get it to work fine with no issues running cm13 on nexus 6p.i can download apps etc. On occasion I need to u install the Samsung software and reinstall it after an update but that is it. The only issue I have is the Samsung watch update which is encrypted. I need to use my note for that

I don't have a nexus/LG phone so I couldn't tell you for sure, but it doesn't hurt to try it out if you are open to the risks involved. Just make sure you have a backup. Keep in mind that loading the update from the app store will then break the app again. So use the downloaded apks.

Same here: it first worked but then I updated the ROM (Resurrection Remix to Jun 2016 version). After that I got Gear Plugin FC all the time. It is to do with the "Notification access" which is enabled for Samsung Gear.
If you disable that no FC anymore. Confusing. Sometimes it helped to disable and enable bluetooth. Grrr. What a mess.

It was working until now. It seems like Samsung has changed the way of detecting cm 13. The Samsung Gear App says it can not connect because some Gears are not supported with my phone (S4 mini CM 13).
I changed every "samsung" in the build.prop to "htc" (3x).

Check this post. The answer you need might be in there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/install-gps-spoofer-app-t3375755
For example that you need the original apk file and not the one as it is installed.

Hi all,
i just got my Samsung S3 Gear classic and i was excited to get it working with my mobile. I download the Samsung gear app and turn the watch on, found the watch in the app and followed the messages. It asks to pair the devices and then to download the Samsung plug in and accessory from the apps stores. After completing these actions, the Samsung Gear app tries to connect to the phone and then the screen changes and shows the phone is pair but not connected. See pictures attached. This means i can only pair the phone but i can use the app to enable the functionalities. Every time i tried to connect it just takes me to the same screen. I tried resetting the watch, installing again all programs, tried the watch with Samsung phone (works fine), tried other watches with my mobile (same issue repeated) etc but never made them work.
Does anyone knows how to make the gear app work with the Z5? Are these devices compatible?
Thank you in advance for the support.
My Gear S2 works with my Z5 Compact.

The other 3 apps are installed automatically from PlayStore. If not you can install them manually too.

Hi Maik, i downloaded the gear app and manually tried to install it. I got the message that cannot be installed because it conflicts with another package same name. See photo attached. I am not sure what can i do. I uninstalled all previous Samsung applications.

This means the Samsung Gear app from PlayStore is still installed.
Check settings > apps and uninstall it > Reboot your phone.

Did that and still get the same message. Does not allow me to install the app.
I always stuck on the same step, pairing the phone and while gear tries to connect then return to the previous screen and do not connect...not sure i got many options here.
