Vkworld VK700x Review - A $60 Smartphone

The VKWorld VK700 is a super cheap device costing just about $59.99 but with specs that are quite good for this price tag.
The phone looks quite good, has a CNC metal frame and a 6.9mm thin body.
It features the MT6580a quad-core chipset clocked at 1.5GHz, with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage. This is further expandable up to 64GB via MicroSD. There’s a 5-inch display with 720p resolution, which is quite impressive given the price tag.
At the back, there’s an 5mp camera intrapolated to 8mp while up front, there is a 2mp sensor intrapolated to 5mp. Both cameras do a decent job in bright conditions, however any pictures taken in low light look pretty bad. This was to be expected for such a cheap device.
The device is running Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. Unfortunately the manufacturer decided to use their own launcher so it can add a few "features" to the device. That doesn't work that well; the phone becomes laggy and the offered features are useless. Installing nova launcher makes wonders and the phone becomes quite fast and snappy.
Another disappointing thing about this device is the 2200mah battery. It seems quite impossible to get more than 2h of screen time on. Of course, not everyone uses their phone that much, and it js quite possible that the phone will make it through an entire day with moderate usage.
Most apps and games work really well on this device even with the 1gb of ram. The phone does get quite hot while playing games. Luckily the heat dissipates quick enough thru the metal frame.
This phone doesn't have a notification light and the 3 buttons at the bottom of the device don't light up.
Overall, for $60usd you get a good looking phone that cuts some corners in order to keep that low price.

Last question: how can I have recovery in English? Thanks for your work, Kywrosaki!

I can´t download the official firmware + recovery.
The download failed all times.
could somebody upload the files again?
Thanks,
Edit: I got it now. Thanks

OTA update to v11 firmware now available. But I don't want to loose root and the custom recovery, so I did not install it yet. The update.zip contains a lot of checks and probably also checks the bootloader and recovery.
Somebody already updated to v11? On the vkworld site, you can only download v08 firmware.
Thanks

You have to put recovery. After that in recovery you have to install "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and ready. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxh2gs7XEYrYa3RDNUJWam02WGs/view?usp=sharing)

Getting the SPFlash Tool to work with the right drivers and timing is not always easy.
So is it possible to flash the custom TWRP through fastboot? Did somebody try that?

I own the VK700, paid around $65. Nice entry level phone, happy with it. Just some freezes sometimes probably because of the 1GB ram, and a lazy GPS. Except those minor issues, works great.

I rooted a VK700 a few months ago using RootGenius 2.2.6. More recently I wanted to root another VK700 but RootGenius was unable to do it, telling the VK700 was not in the list of rootable devices. I found it weird but then I used VRoot 1.8.6 and it worked fine.
Maybe you can try using these tools to root the VK700x?

[Completed] MXQ Pro Development Threads?

Hey guys, new to the site. I'm looking for a way to flash TWRP to my MXq Pro box, it has the new S905 processor. I never know how I should search for the box though... Basically the info I have on it is it's from the company "OTT TV BOX" I believe, it's the newest version of their cheap boxes (Android 5.1, S905 processor, etc). I have found files for TWRP booting for the MXq box, but not the pro.
Basically looking for two different things, a spot for information on this box and all development being done for it, and also if/how I would go about getting a custom recovery installed for cloning purposes. Thanks.

[Completed] Android tablet won't download+ other problems

I've got an Android tablet that I cannot download anything to.
Tried a hardset restore a few times that didn't help.
I think something or things got force deleted by mistake.
It's a Chinese generic tablet. I could send it back for refund but cost $50.
The tablet cost $70 so that don't work to well.
Here is what I know about the tablet. I would like to revive it if possible.
I'd try most anthing because it's not any good the way it is.
Some firmware for it might help if I could find it. When I try to download I get a message "Google play is missing from my tablet.

This is supposed to be the original firmware (from the russian site 4pda).

Pity ! File downloaded twice but does not pass : "Parse burning image fail". That normally means that file is corrupted or broken somehow. Thanks anyway.

Do you use the latest USB Burning Tool? Do you press "start" first and then connect your USBmale-USBmale cable?
Please state how exactly you tried to unbrick your box.
Also you can download the relevant images of Bqeel Y8 max OR HK1 max X3 OR Vontar X3, as all of these boxes are similar/identical to yours.Especially that of Bqeel, if you unpack it, you will see that it has the H96 video

I don't know why you have such a problem with the original rom of H96 max X3. I just tried it with my installed UBT version 2.1.7.3 and it loads all the way and I press then "start".No error.Of course I didn't try to flash my box, since I received it only today (version 4/32).
Are you unzipping correctly the 7z file (by 7z or winrar??).

I just installed the Bqeel Y8 max firmware. The flash went very well and this image is perfectly identical to H96 Max X3 one. Thank you.
As for the original firmware, I will redo everything to try to find out where the problem comes from.
I will take your advice into consideration and I will keep you posted.

What are the cons of using a atv build when conpared to android build

so you installed that file downloaded from yandex , is the firmware true orginal and can be flashed on h96 max x3 s905x3 ?
are you on telegram where we can personally converse regarding this matter ?
i currently m on hk1 x3 firmware , is the stock better ?

I have H96 Max X3 for only 4 days and I am still using the original firmware but I was following the relevant forums from the firtst time I ordered my box.
So as I already stated you can use either of the firmwares for H96 Max X3 or HK1 X3 or Vontar X3.
But you asked for an ATV firmware and the one I linked above is the only custom ATV firmware I am aware of at the moment.The link is from a Russian site although the custom rom is Vietnamese.
I will stick with the original rom until a custom rom (not ATV) will be available.At the original rom I have almost everything, since I installed 2 apps for notification and navigation bars (which were the main problems for me).Also of course I use another launcher.

i installed the said atv firmware been using for 4 hours , it is smooth , the said firmware is based on stock firmware i think , i wanted to use atv build because of remote functionality , i can now use my phone for voice search and keyboard , also because android tv playstore is better because it has android tv specific apps and can be used with remote , also the ram consumption is less , by default only 800mb is used out of 4 gb , i see no major benefit in using regular android over atv ,

I am happy that you liked the ATV custom rom that I gave you the link for.
I know that some people like ATV roms and others (like me) regural android. Thats why many custom roms are made in 2 formats. As in everything there are advantages/disavantages in each case.
It is good that you said your experience with this rom as it may be usefull for other users that want ATV.

thank you...... works perfectly for me

For notification use Power Shade (you must give All permissions required - sometimes one by one).
For navigation use Taskbar PC style where again you must give all permissionw required. It is not only a navigation bar but much more if you like. The minimum you have to do is to select all 3 buttons and if you want there are more (it may be like another launcher, status bar, you can hide it or not etc).

H10 6K TV Box Firmware or Wifi Driver

I had some problems with my tv box h10 6k (google play not installing apps). I tried to change the ROM, the one I found is working great but it doesn't have wifi drivers.
Can someone help me locate drivers for this box, or find the original ROM?
Specifications:
Allwinner h6 quad core 64-bit Cortex-A53 / gpu mali t720
Images of box are attached.
I have another box of the same version as this, but I don't know how to dump ROM.
Thanks

I found a tutorial on youtube by china gadgets using phoenix suit, I didn't save the link, but it really easy.
Rom doesn't have any advantage of original ROM (I didn't notice). I have two TV boxes like this, one wasn't installing play store apps and the other was perfect. I just changed the one that play store was giving errors everytime.

When i put "poweroff" from the remote control (the red button) the device put "off" (so far so good...). But when i press again the button the device dont wake up...... this happend also with your device? (when is on a blue light is on, when is off the classical red light of a led).

Hi
I´m having the same issue with my Android Box H10.
Already got the img file, but can´t to get the flashing software right... might be a driver issue...
Windows detects the "USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)" driver and installs it, but PhoenixSuit althou detects the device a prompts to start flashing, it does never really starts.
I tried 2 versões of the driver (from 2013 and 2014). tried on Windows 10/11 and even XP (vm).
The result is always the same...
I´m running out of ideas, so if you have any suggestion or idea, please dont be shy....

Sorry, i ask this several months later but, probably I'm gonna do this change these days:
I notice that the tv box has to have the same specs. Visually is the same and also this "Allwinner h6 quad core 64-bit Cortex-A53 / gpu mali t720"... but some are 16gb of ROM another 32GB, or 64GB. Alsocan be 2gb of ram or 4gb of ram.
The image that you share is for what amount of ROM and ram? (if i put the wrong probably ill brick the box).
Thanks!

Hola tengo la misma con 4 gb de ram y 32 gb de rom , que firmware se utiliza ? como se llama el programa para actualizar el firmware ??? alguien tiene el tutorial por favor

I have an H10 Pro 6k - Allwinner H6 SOC.
I have not found firmware but - for those who can not install apps from Google Play - try these 3 things.
1. If possible connect with ethernet instead of wifi. Often works for me.
2. I also use Uptodown as an alternative app source. There are also other app stores you may be comfortable using. (Download from non Google sources with some risk - check out the reputation of the source).
3. Search for the app in a browser, download it and install. (Again, be careful where you source the app from).
Try these 3 methods and any app should be available.
