Hi, I'm new here and totally layman. Being naive, I bought an android phone from the cheap clone brand Note40Pro. The description was promising: 10-core, 5g and Android 11. However, the device worked very slowly and after a system check I noticed that the android version was 4.4.2 and not 11. Moreover, I could not upgrade. Because of this I am also unable to pay contactless and get modern apps. I think only a root operation can solve this problem. Hopefully the forum can help me with this, otherwise I'll toss the phone in the trash. Thanks for the support.
Return phone to seller and request refund - because you got cheated.

I am newbie here, and planning for new android phone.
One of my friend got X10 without Android from India for few bucks less, shopkeeper said he can come again anytime to load the OS (which will be chargeable-same amount he deducted while buying). He was using his phone very well without android, unfortunately lost his phone. I really don't know what OS it was there on phone (stock or other).
My question is
1. Is it possible to get a phone without android, and if yes then what will be the OS on that?
2. Is it possible to flash/load Android (suitable to that specific device) on such device by our self?
Thanks in advance.
I think your friend got one of the infamous counterfeit phones.
Perhaps it had the Chinese ripoff version of Android on it.
A friend just bought a tablet here in China preloaded with Android 2.1. Its setup to be used in China, which has given me problems in the past on my Android phone. Is there anyway to go about updating it to the new version of Android and maybe even getting rid of the Chinese app store and adding flash support (right now it says the device doesn't support it, even though it looks like it meets requirements)? You guys have been helpful in the past so thanks in advance for any advice.

Did you try connect the Onda-Vi10 customer service?
How about they said solve about this... In China, i remember my friend told me they also improved the Android at a fast speed.
Im very sorry if this doesn't go here but since I couldn't find any forum related to custom-built phones I gave it a shot.
Ok the thing is I recieved a Custom-made android phablet a few months ago. It's a model made by a non-technological company in a political stunt to promote better education in Puerto Rico and to "modernize the classroom environment and how class is taught." And even though only public schools (I go to private) had these benefits I managed to get a hold of one and after months I decided to try it.
But the ugly truth is These "phablets" are just a somewhat mediocre 2011-12 technology with a custom android 4.3 slapped on top. The downside is that the Android version doesn't come with any of google's services and apps and because of it being custom-built No apps are compatible with it.
I managed to download the Google now and chrome apks but they don't run/aren't compatible.
After all that backstory What I mean to ask is:
-Is it possible to activate google apps and services from the phone without taking out it's original version? (After all it's running Jellybean)
If not:
-Is it possible to root the phone and flash another version of android that's a bit more "supportive" of apps?
Or do you simply have any other ideas as of how can I make it a normal android phablet? Im planning on giving it to my little brother after fixing it up.
Thank you in advance and again, I'm sorry if I posted this where it doesn't belong.
Howdy,
So, I have a Toshiba AT200 tablet that uses android 4.0.3 and I'm disabled currently jumping through all the hoops for SSI. In the meantime I been using the usertesting app to make enough money to cover my rent & internet barely. Trouble is, they just discontinued support for android versions older than 5.0 so I need to upgrade it to android 5 or 6. Since I have no real clue how to do much of anything on android other than install and run stuff from the play store, I called Toshiba for help and was told that they don't offer a manufacturer update to higher android versions but that I could easily google an unofficial one that is completely legal.
Well, after the last 5 hours of trying, 3 system crashes, 21 removals of trojans by windows defender and malwarebytes, and I-have-no-idea how many 'surveys' & 'offers' completions trying to unlock downloads; I STILL don't have a working upgrade.
PLEASE help me! I need this done to continue earning enough money to pay my rent & internet.
Thanks,
Robert
