Hi, I have this phone. Just got from my parents.

ROM : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7CBSsJQIV5-YnMyM1owMnctVTQ/edit?usp=drive_web

Also in the attachments here is a folder of 3 recoveries I downloaded and is working on my device.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7CBSsJQIV5-aVRFdU9Qd2t4SnM/edit

recovery.img = CWM Normal recovery

recovery_I9300ZSALE9.img = CWM Touch Recovery

recovery_lewa_twrp.img = Lewa TWRP Recovery

Flash with SP Flash Tools

the first 2 are from somewhere in this thread. Thanks to those who posted (forgot where). and Lewa Recovery is ported using this tool from my stock recovery. http://www.nexgen2infinity.com/work/__oldfilenotuse/Port TWRP.pdf

Hardware : MT6575 (SMDK4x12 is Fake!)

Model : GT-I9300

Build number : IMM76D.I9300ZSALE9

Build date UTC : 20121012-043259

Android v : 4.0.4

Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V20, 2012/08/13 14:56

Kernel v : 3.0.13 (root@android-desktop) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #7 Fri Oct 12 17:49:49 CST 2012

Now For the real reason I'm here. Thanks a lot to everyone. I was one of the lucky ones to root using Bin4ry Root many Android with no problem. However, my volume down key is LOOSE. I have to press very hard to enter recovery. Is there a way to remap recovery key combinations? or any guide to unscrew the phone and fix it? Don't want my key to die on me when I need the recovery.

Never mind. You can use a guitar pick to lift the volume key out. You can then place some paper on the real buttons and then snap back the volume keys.

now, i cant flash any rom because of an error.. 5054..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amyren:
Anyone have a working link to some roms prepared for the flash tool for this mtk6575 phone?

Reason for asking is that I have two similar phones like in the OP, both baught in thailand a year ago. I did flash the first one long time ago and it worked ok with a particular rom. Now I flashed the second phone, but this phone must be slightly different becauce it wont boot with the same rom.

I can get cwm to work, but thats all that works now. From the cwm menu I see that there seem to be some problems with the system partition, because it wont mount. Also when trying to flash any zipped rom, the process does fail.

The two phones was identical, apart from that the second sim slot was not populated in the latter one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amyren:
Got it working again, after a lot of trial and fails..

I found a working rom after looking at the screenshots in post #2

I noticed the name of the rom from the file path used in the flash tool, and made a google search for ThL.V9.120412.AD2.3.6.V1.QHDC.CN.COM.4P4_MT6575

Luckily I found a working download link for a flashable rom, and the phone did work after this :)

It did boot up, but the camera, wlan or the sim card did not work. But I used this rom and installed the cwm on top of it, and then used the cwm to restore a lewa rom backup I had. Then the camera, wlan and sim did work again.

Battery replacement

Anyone who have tried to find a battery replacement for this phone might have experienced that this is not straight forward.

I did order a few S3 replacement batteries, but they didnt work at all in my clone phone.

Then I read the model number on the included batteries and the number did match the battery type of the S2 models, so I ordered one of these as well. But this battery was physicly smaller, and did not fit.

I decided to make one more try with one of the S3 batteries I had ordered. It turns out that the battery is compatible with the clone phone, but the connectors of the S3 replacement battery is slightly deeper into the body than the one that came with my phone.

I then took a metal file and used it to thin down the plastic on the top side of the battery, so that the connectors came more close to the edge.

I also did use the file on the edges of the battery to make it easier to fit.

After this operation the battery worked fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lildaddym:
How about a photo or two?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amyren:
Here are a few images. Sadly I didnt take any pictures before I did the operation.

The first two images shows the top of the battery after I have used the metal file on it. The file I used was quite big, so this was no precision work. Notice that I did take a bit to much, so that a metal part from the inside of the battery is visible on the side of the connectors. Luckily it does touch any other metal part on the phone so I just left it like that.

I also did use the file on the top edges of the battey, just to make sure it would be easier to get to battery close enaugh to the phone connectors. I was thinking of putting some small pieces of folded paper inside the battery compartement bottom, in order to push the battery up toward the connectors, but this turned out not to be needed.

As you might have noticed from the two pictures above, the replacement battery is a bit thicker than the original. This is a high capasity battery from Nohon that needs a special back cover to fit. The back cover itself does also feature an extra battery and have some extra connectors that connects the battery and the back cover together.

But the orginal S3 have the battery compartement located different that the clones, so the battery will be dislocated and upside down. To make this work I took some aluminium foil and fitted on the back of the Nohon battery. This way the foil leads the power to the correct connectors of the back cover.

This last picture is a shot of the battery fitted inside the phone. There is also a small glimse of the file I used :)

As a last comment I can say that I never have tried a orginal S3 battery on my phone. But I have tested three different S3 replacement batteries and all of those failed to work without any modification. But perhaps there are replacement batteries that have slightly less plastic body around them than the ones I tried, so I cant say that none will work. Or maybe some of the clones have longer connectors than I had on my phone.

Try to flash the stock ROM with SP Flash tool if u have a backup. If not,Google for the stock ROM, it should be there

Further, using mtdroid tools do a full backup of ROM and NVram (for IMEI).

@Khongancom : Yes Actually its an 2 sim card phone, but while selling they just applies tricks that you want sindle sim or dual sim... you can just pull out the white packing which looks like normal sim also which is sheltered with the sticker... just pull and insert both the sims ... also you can use both the sims at the same time,you just need to switch the networks...

small update because not ewerythink work propertly with my model i found problem with Camera ( very strange purple colour of all modes and aftermade a picture ) , internal space of EMMC and SDCARD

in SP Tools

0. format with option "whole flash"

1. using option "Download" to made PMT with ROM I9300_20120901__V16.rar and after "flash/upgrade" with this same rome ( change only recovery.img for CWW 5.5 )

2. after flash it use modified 9300_75_ROOT_SD1_Camera_1013.zip to update from CWM

3. modification of ( 9300_75_ROOT_SD1_Camera_1013.zip)

in META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

remove this part of script :

ui_print("Repartition Preparing...");

run_program("rm","/tmp/*");

package_extract_dir("reparted", "/tmp");

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0777, 0777, "/tmp");

show_progress(0.70, 0);

ui_print("Flashing MBR...");

run_program("/tmp/mbr.sh");

show_progress(0.65, 0);

ui_print("Formatting data...");

run_program("/sbin/parted","/dev/block/mmcblk0","mkpart","primary","1106","3354");

run_program("/tmp/mke2fs","-t","ext4","/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");

show_progress(0.20, 0);

ui_print("Update MBRInfo...");

run_program("/tmp/mbrinfo.sh");

show_progress(0.050000, 0);

ui_print(" ");

why ? because after repartitionig internal EMMC (orginal size 500MB after repart. 2GB) and SDRAM (original size 2GB after repart. 512MB)

after this modifications phone work perfectly ;)

maybe its this same kind of probem what i have with my "camera"

on 2 of 3 flashed roms camera dosent work very well , some wrong drivers , application , wrong settings ...

on this rome I9300_20120901__V16.rar ( my camera have purple display and only work back camera

on this update : DEKDEE -I9300 OS 4.1.1.zip ( http://dc613.4shared.com/download/J...&dsid=40q212.6eb140a6e51e84a68d20b0edca8be472 ) - only work front camera and cannot switch to back and flash LED doesnt work

but when i update to 9300_75_ROOT_SD1_Camera_1013.zip - camera work very well ...

of course i try to replace some files beetwen this roms but no successfull ... and definitly after self customized rom 9300_75_ROOT_SD1_Camera_1013.zip for now i dont find any problems with functionality of my clone ...

if You have MT6575 try with my solution of full format of ROM and flash again like I wrote few posts before ...

if You have MT6577 You must find correct ROM / update for it ... and maybe everythink back to normal :)

of course when You flash again or prepare a format replace in SP Tools "recovery.img" for this one (from first post ) to have CWM 5

Samsung clone note 10+ mt6570

Hi guys. New one here.

Can I please ask for help. Please please.

The phone is really Samsung note 10 pro (it is still a clone) but I used Samsung note 10+ firmware. My phone is not yet rooted. I was trying to root it but then ended up bricked it.

So here's what happened.

I used magisk to have patch image. Then sp flash tool. But when I was patching the image there's an error that says something about PMT. I researched about it and someone said that I can use format except bootloader. So I did that and flashed just that patch image. I tried to open the phone and got a blank screen just the light with no display. And I tried to flash the whole thing; system, recovery, boot image (but this was the patched one), lk, preloader, user, and everything. Then still got nothing. I let the phone drain since I cannot see anything from the screen but I can here sounds and also my laptop can recognize the device with all the empty folders inside it. Then I tried to flash the whole firmware except that this time I used the original boot image, that is the boot image on the firmware I downloaded. And I still got nothing.

Please help me.
