Hi all,
I bought a G935FD at a swap meet which turned out to be clone. After using an app called CPU-Z, I discovered that the CPU is a Mediatek MT6592. Man, the fakes are looking more like the real deal.
Anyways, is there a way to enter download mode or even recovery mode given the different chipset. I'm used to snapdragon but this one threw me a curve ball.
XDA, you all never have failed me. Can someone out there provide me with a hyperlink or simply point me in the right direction? I'm going to sell this phone since my Galaxy S5 is still a beast.
Thanks all!
MOD NOTE: If there is a thread dedicated to this, please assist.

Hello everybody, before i get to my point let me introduce myself.. i am a college student studying in Australia and i am of indian origin although have never stayed there due to parents being moved around in mnc from wen i am small. I just bought my s2 today and i am having some big software issues. The set i bought is from china as i am here on holiday.
Phone Details:
PDA:I9100XWKE7
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC:I9100XEUKD1
I did a factory reset right after buying as i was hoping to rid of these chinese apps but that was no good.. Then i tried to download some android apps from android market but phone saying not recognized. i deleted and syncd my google account 3 times but to no use. PS. i cannot find a default android market app icon on my phone as well..
Can anyone please shed some light about my specific phone and what i must do to get it working to its full potential.. simple google, weather apps is not all i am hoping for.. I love being part of online communities for all my electronics such as my ps3, blackberry and alienware but i am very very new to android and smartphones but i am willing to learn as much as i can. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much folks!

Hello, I have been scammed after my dad bought an unnoticed fake GS5. I checked the flash, the heart rate sensor, the cover, etc... ALL FAKE! When I play a game before like Dumb Ways to Die 2, I really noticed it's very slow. But after I make a developer mode and showing the CPU usage, there's a process called "kswapd0" in the top and the game is just below that process. Really sad . I use the CPU-Z to see what are the specs and I see really bad specs, with attachments below. And the download mode, it's full chinese. Real chinese. And so I ahve a speed problem, let me know your answers below.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I'm sorry to inform you but there's really nothing anybody can do for you. Nothing is known about these fake/clone devices, and that isn't really likely to change due to there being no reliable information available about them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Good luck with your phone.
Thread closed.
Bought what I'm guessing is an S6 clone, no I didnt buy it knowing it was a clone.
The phone says its a G920F.
Anyway I cant get AT&T to work on it.
Can someone please point me in the right direction ?
I've gone to the AT&T site and plugged in what they say to in the ASN section.
Still no go.

Hello! I'm not sure whether you've tried asking your question in the dedicated forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6
You may be able to get a few pointers there.
Good luck!
Hi everybody.
I'm new to the forum and in the world of roms.
Though I did root my first smartphone, an Acer.
when I was looking for a way to ban Google out of my life I soon came to /e/os.
I decided to look for a good phone thats supported by eos. At first I ordered a fairphone 3+, but because I found it a bit expensive for what it was I canceled that order and did go for a s9+ with exynos chipset. Because it's listed in the eos supported devices. But now I did read somewhere that after u flash a Rom on this phone,official updates are no longer supported..this is a bad thing isnt it?Can someone tell me more about this please?
Thank u
