Back Up data

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.

Error using Dialer & contact

Thanks a lot... this was really helpful.

I rooted my MTK6577 S3 clone using this process, all apps are working fine, accept Dialer & contact..

When i open dialer or contact, it gives a message :

"The system is not authorized will automatically shut down"

and I'm unable to make any phone call.

Any solution to this ??

Hope you can share your experience with the phone so far.Is it reliable? Is the battery degrading very slowly like normal battery from branded company or it just degraded significantly after only a month or two? How is the screen? How is the overall performance? Thank you in advance.

If ya fone is not rooted, Just go to settings>apps> look under all apps and simply click on each Chinese app, clear data> force close > disable and reboot ya phone. If ya phone is rooted, u can remove all Chinese apps using "Root app delete" its a free app from play store.

ROOTING: i9300 mtk6577 android 4.1

*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://xdaforums.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 select the "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 rebootyour device!" *

after completion, command prompt should state if phone has been rooted and superuser app automatically installed on ya mobile*

after rooting my phone, I just installed the apk installer from play store and run the apk superuser installed them manually.

You can also use "root app delete" its a free app from play store to delete system apps ESP the Chinese apps.

VOILA!!!

S3 Clone (Rooted) dialer error

I got my phone rooted, then installed RootAppDelete and removed all unwanted chinese apps. Every thing went fine and phone is working very well except three features (Dialer, Contact and Message), whenever I open any of them get an error msg:

System is not authorized and will automaticlly shut down (screen short attached)

So, unable to use calling features, can anyone help ??

I guess this is related to ROM and not to the dialer apps.

Hi there,

I rooted my phone and it works great.

All the chinese apps are gone and everything is working, but when i use whatsapp messenger.. i notice that he skips some characters (probably because i am quick) but on my original galaxy s1 it always worked.

Is there somehow a solution for this?

Hi actually you don't need root to remove the apps. Go in the app setting choose the app you want to remove, stop it and then click on disable (upper right) and you will be fine. You don't free space I suppose but they don't bother you anymore.

I haven't rooted mine yet is a tinji i9300 and I want to be sure before doing ir.

Hi everybody.

I have I9300 s3 clone, microsim

cpu: MT6577

Baseband version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V12

OS: Android 4.0.4

I have wifi problem. It connects to wifi and works just few minutes, i can open only one website than it disconnects and to be online i have to restart router and wifi in the phone. It is definately not router problem. I tried it in different places. Same story.. I installed a lot of wifi fixing programs, no changes.. wifixer shows following: reassociating -> reconnecting -> authentication error. I think it is software problem. But I really don't know where to get rom for reflashing for this model.

But after trying to turn on the phone, appears a led green but i cant see nothing on the display.
