well how to confirm if it is 3g ?

are therey any tests ? as in my country there is no 3g ..

when i go to Settings --> Sim Management --> Network Mode i get 3 options

1 is GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)

2 is WCDMA only

3 is GSM only

which app should show if it is realy 3g or not ?

yes you got the cable thingy right .. thats what i did . exactly

but as i mentioned that copper is better conductor and i tried it and got no result/signal . i could only get signal with aluminium one .. i striped 2 strands and striped them . put them over fire just so that the outer plastic coating would become soft then using my hand i quickly peeled that plastic/rubber coating from that cable strand . so it becomes thin and dont cause problems ..

but now (inside my room from where i could earlier get locked onto satellites i am trying to lock onto satellite and i am getting 14 satellites in view and 0 is locked .. infact the windows is showing not even the grey bar .. dont know why ? also last night i tried inside room and no result. i dont konw if at that time some weak sattellites are in view or what ,,,,,,,,, i have no issue getting lock onto satellite outside from my balconoy.

as to flashing of your rom

first make a backup of your device using MTK Droid Root tools use the latest one ..

i hope ur device is rooted .. now just run mtkdroid and then attach your device through the supplied usb cable .. then in the mtk droid click on the root . yes u red it correctly . click on root .. as this is another type of root called shell root.. its a special type of root .. mtkdroid will shell root it temporarily ..after reboot of phone manually u will loose the shell root...

after it roots it will ask for backup .. if not click on the backup button and click backup .. it will take 20-25 minutes . and should finish wihtout errors .. you should have at least 4-5gb of free space on your pc ..

after it is done ..remove your device from the cable ..

and now mtk droid window should be changed .. then click on the scatter button in mtk root and droid . it will ask for firmware.info file .. which will be in the directory where the backup is put by above tool . point it there .. then it will create a scatter file .. it will take a second .. you should place the scatter file in the same directory where the firmware.info and other files are placed .. and you should not change the name of the file whatsoever .. now in mtk droid click on "to prepare blocks for flashtool" or some button which reads like this .. then it will ask for the location of scater file .. point it to that locations .. it wil start making a flashtool compatible backup of the device .. it would complete in 10-15 minutes. and will place the result in a newly created folder in teh same directory where there is backup .. the folder name will have a ! in its starting ... here is your final backup ..

now to flash this rom or any other rom that u think is compatible to your device u need sp flash tool .. download it ..

after runing it click on scatter file and then select all files except the dsp_bl and preloader .. because if incorret files are flashed it will brick it .. u never ever never ever and absolutely never need to flash these two files in the lifetime of your device .. get it straight in your mind ..

oh to use mtkdroot and droid tool ur device should be on and booted into android ..

and to use spf ur device should be off and remvoe the battery and then insert it and immediatley insert the cable ..

for flashing with sp flash tool google for few guides ..
