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.

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.

Is very VERY posible, but i can't next the bootloop on AOSCP rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-android-nougat-marshmallow-nokia-t3525392

There are ways to do this and you will be able to find it on Google. However, one thing that we have noticed is if you are using a memory card to use android you must use a microSD card and not SDHC.

[Q] ZTE Compel(Z830) How to root?

How do you root the ZTE Compel running Android Kitkat 4.4.2?
Here is how I got the phone and why I need to root it.
My parents got me my first android phone for my birthday and I thought "Hey the ZTE Compel looks good. Its got the latest version and everything" I was so wrong. It came with 4GB of storage(The OS took 3GB) and it won't let me do anything with this 32GB SD(or any SD) I have. I can't put any apps on SD so I decided to root. I am decent in Linux so I already know what rooting is. So I download towelroot and its not compatible with my phone. Tried all the modstrings. They all froze. Also I can't seem to find a manual method. Can anyone out there help me root my ZTE Compel?

Seriously.
Its been like a24 hours now and not even a reply saying "I don't know about the phone." I posted this thread hoping to find some expert out there who knew. Im good at computer programming and decent in Linux, but no way an expert in android. If some expert out there sees this maybe you root this phone the exact same way as another new less common ZTE phone.
Thanks.

Thanks but I have already tried that . Any other method or a modstring that works? Temp root modstring won't even work.

Im getting impatient now.
Its hard to believe that some phones can be rooted in just 1 click and I have tried a lot of things but if you have something(even if it requires a computer) please let me know.
Thanks.

I too need help to root ATT Compel. I've tried kingroot Towel, Superoneclick. Not tech enough to understand how to use manual.

I have the same issue. I thought this being a newer phone it would be looked into.

Yes please someone root this phone or find a way to get rid of all the crap that comes preloaded on it. I had to buy this phone because my SGS4 broke and I'm not up for the promotion price for a new one. Got this phone and its a powerful little phone. But man is the internal memory crap and it doesn't support app2sd. So I am always running into insufficient storage problems. I would appreciate someone rooting this device. Whoever roots this device or sends me info on how to root it successfully you got my donation. That's a promise.
Oh and I have tried towelroot, root genius and basically searched the web and there is very little talk on this phone. Maybe it is still too new. Obviously it is not a SGS5 or a Nexus but it is still a cost efficient phone with a quad core processor. Besides its horrible limited built-in storage its a great phone without having to be locked into a contract. Its limited storage can be easily fixed by adding the app2sd feature or just giving us root. That would help a lot. If a dev couple step in and help us out that would be great. You'll have my donation.

Mark me down under 'also interested in this.'

I'm also waiting to find a rooting solution on this phone.... Here's hoping someone is cool enough to help us Compel owners out!

Doesn't look like they are interested in advancing the Z830.

Hi Boys. This Lady Is Your Savior.

Awesome. Ironically I decided to trade it in for an Asus PadFone X Mini. Now I am waiting for root on that. Just did the trade 2 days ago. The irony. However I said I would donate and I am a man of his words. Send me a PayPal or Google wallet link. You deserve a coffee. Thanks!

So where's the help? I don't see any post or nothing in your post...
Please help!:crying:

Near as I can tell, no one has found an exploit by which to gain root on the ZTE z830 Compel. That's why none of the downloadable root-kits work on it. The "manual method" (as worked on my ZTE Valet) of copying SU & such over using adb, then changing their file permissions won't work for the same reason... There has to be something to exploit in order to get temporary permissios to muck about in the OS files.

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

Couldn't find the rom or flash to reset it. Called Blu and sent them the picture of the reset screen.

Help!
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.

People cannot hear me on the phone. What can I do. I already did a factory reset and hard reset

Framaroot support for ZTE K85 Grand X View from Bell in Canada

Hello to the developers of this wonderful root tool!
ZTE has released a fantastic Octacore processor tablet with LTE and ot would appear there is no root strategy available for it at this time despite shipping with 5.0.1 stock and being seemingly AOSP based.
It is such a specialized device given to a targeted marked that kingroot tells me only ~340 people have requested root research as well. The tablet is cheap, had full LTE, a great processor, 2 GB of RAM even and 16gb storage and up to 64 GB external. Source code for GPL is available from ZTE upon request (not live yet) - but it's very new. September 2015 new actually... It's birthday is coming up. I'd love to get this thing rooted, and start developing some new ROMs for her to really take full advantage of this wonderful little tablet.
Also to note: I think the bootloader is locked, unlike most ZTE devices or so I've read; in fastboot mode, above the menu, there is a message saying "device is fused" which may be ZTE speak for this.
Anyhow... Any help is appreciated; even if someone knows how to unlock bootloader. At this point twrp and cwm recovery both don't support it, and I can't flash anything that isn't signed. Appears to have been master key patched too.

I too, have a Bell ZTE K85 Grand View X

Hello. I also own a Bell ZTE K85 Tablet. I also would like to be able to root my tablet. This Android 5.0.1 Lollipop crap has to go. This tablet has an Octacore Processor, I wanna be able to take Nougat 7.0 for a test drive. Hell, even Marshmallow, I don't care, I just desperately want to root so bad. This could have been a great tablet, but unfortunately I've never had 1 update in the time I've owned it. So stupid!
UPDATE:
I have rooted this tablet using KingRoot. I am now able to enjoy the wonderful benefits of being rooted. Try it out guys. It worked for me!

Would love to see a root for this device - Lineage OS would also be great!
