Important to note - I recommend removing the sd card any time you remove or install the back cover.

This guy shows a decent tutorial. I basically pulled the sd cover off and started at the plastic there. If you end up with blemishes, at least they'd be under the sd cover.

[General Topics] beanboy89:
For years now, I've been hearing about and seeing examples online of knockoff phones floating around. I never thought I would actually come across one, however, until today.

I work at a major retailer and a customer comes up to me today with a manilla envelope and says that she wants me to setup her phone. She had bought a SIM online from prepaid service and came to the store to buy an airtime card. She then pulls out a phone from the envelope. I see a white "Samsung" phone. It looked to be something similar to a Galaxy S III Mini or Galaxy Express. I didn't think of anything when I first saw it, but I did first look for carrier branding to make sure it wasn't carrier locked. I saw none. The phone also had a hard plastic case on it with a strangely-skewed Android logo on it.

Upon closer inspection when I took the phone over to my work counter, I noticed some oddities. The screen seemed a bit strange. It was resistive. That was the first alarm. I then noticed that the "Samsung" logos on the phone were actually decals or stickers stuck to the front and back of the phone as opposed to being screen printed on, like they should be. After prying the back off, I noticed a really lightweight, cheap looking battery, with no branding whatsoever. There were also two SIM slots with two different IMEIs. I know that some international variants of certain phones have two SIM slots, but I've never actually seen one. Another alarm was something that was printed on the back of the phone under the battery: "Model: i9300." This was defiantly not a Galaxy S III.

I called into the carrier and had the SIM activated. Everything on that end seemed to go through just fine. I put the SIM into the phone and booted it up. I was greeted with a really cheesy boot animation of a stylized Galaxy S logo. When the UI finally loaded, I noticed something reminiscent of a Gingerbread-based TouchWiz homescreen. The fonts were some really pixelated serif fonts and all of the icons and "widgets" on the homescreen were really bad looking icons. When I finally found the settings menu, I dug around looking for APN and after quite a while, I finally found them. I struggled to use the onscreen keyboard with a stylus and put in all the correct settings. I rebooted the phone and was unable to make any calls. A few other oddities that I noticed were an articulating extendable antenna popping from the top of the phone and a "WiFi" logo under the battery. I could find no actual WiFi functions in the software. After playing around with all the call and APN settings, I decided to break the news to the customer.

She said that a "tech-savvy" friend of hers bought the phone for her online for $80. It was hard to tell someone they just basically bought an $80 paperweight. She left and then came back after a short time (after saying she had cried) wanting to buy a "real" Samsung phone. So about $150 later, she had an actual Samsung that was actually able to function as a smartphone should.

Not sure what I want anyone to get from this story; I just thought it was interesting and I thought I'd share it. I just wish I had gotten pictures of the actual phone. Oh well.
[General Topics] Pennycake:
Just wow. I've heard about good "fakes", but it's sad that that one was completely unusable.
[General Topics] deathgod1:
My friend got suckered into buying a phone that's similar to be the one you described. I took some pics of it. He's pissed as he paid $300 expecting a real GS3.

but really think its dead it also as unlocked bootloader please help TIA
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] satan89:
Oh it might be hard bricked.. Does it vibrate on pressing power button. Flashmode doesn't start? (green led)

And how did your wife return to stock? Flash ftf file?

Also how does device manager show the connected phone?

Sent from my ST27i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ratboy666:
no it doesnt vibrate and no lights all she did was it was on cm10 she went into settings and restore to factory then this happened pc makes the noise when plug it in but nothing happens and device manager wont pick it up, dont even thinki can take to shop or send to sony as it has unlocked bootloader can this phone be fixed to u no bud or will it be cheaper to just buy new 1 as i honestly think this 6 week old phone is dead it doesnt do anything m8
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tusharkulkarni008:
Download stock ftf

Open flashtool first

Press power off +vol down button and connect usb quickly if flashtool recognizes

Then flash the stock ftf and research before flashing anything

And give me the built number of cm10 buicd

noob and learning

hit thanks if I helped you
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ratboy666:
it was fxp 211 and fashtool doesnt help m8 as it wont pick my phone up
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] satan89:
Sounds hard bricked.. Try flashtool on another pc to rule out driver issue. If flashtool can't fix it, it's gotta go back to Sony.

Also try plugging it to charger for a few hrs, battery may be drained..

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ratboy666:
from what i have read bud sony will charge me to fix it as i have unlocked bootloader will it be cheaper to buy new phone or will it be best to send back TIA
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] saitri:
flash again with flashtool
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] satan89:
You will have to act lame, and not mention anything about rooting or unlock bootloader.. Tell it died under normal circumstances, like dead battery, or something weird like crashed, and on reboot it never started. Depending on how you sell it, and your country, them may not check BL (or they may not be able to) so give it a shot and be creative ;)

And before repairing and charging you anything, they have to inform you of your warranty status, so you can decide then which is cheaper.

awesome thanks m8 i will give it a try as i got nothing to lose bud kind of hoping it needs a new phone so they dont find out but thanks for help m8
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
same thing happened to me.just take it to any repair center.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tassosmer:
They check via IMEI if the bootloader is unlocked. If it is they don't touch it and they tell you to buy a new one. My tipo was dead almost two months ago. If it is possible use another battery and try to install stock firmware via flashtool. My brother has Neo V which use the same battery with tipo and my device became alive.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ratboy666:
read above bud tried already no respond m8 to anything i try

tried another battery phone is completly dead shipped to sony guess they wont fix i=as it has unlocked bootloader sure i will get email in couple days saying this but have to be worth a try i wont pay them nothing just to get my phone back so if they want money just to send my phone back they can keep it i will buy another maybe not a sony tho and then read alot more i cant believe this was caused by doing a factory reset , thanks to all who tried helping guys but phone will not do anything even leaving on charge for 8 hours did nothing
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] nishuy21:
Well don't judge hard brick so easily

It can be due to no battery charge in phone

It happened to my friend and I thought it is hard bricked

Well but I inserted my battery and he was able to flash it

Try to charge battery with car charger etc....:laugh:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] tassosmer:
i had bought it from vodafone for 127 euros. One day vodafone told me that sony will not repair my phone as the bootloader is unlocked and i have illegal firmware and that it replaces my tipo with a new one for 153 euros. I said no of course and a few days later sony sent my bricked tipo back without charge.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] icefire7:
Y u guys unlocking boot loader without knowing abt it completely....

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ratboy666:

Hi, in the development thread I saw a CWM for locked bootloaders. Would this mean that you can install 3rd party roms with a locked bootloader? I thought you need to unlock your bootloader to install 3rd party roms? What is the purpose of that CWM ROM for locked bootloaders?

TIA!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] erickbryce:
I have been running 4.00.11 for quite sometime now the 2 main problems I have with this version is

1) If I'm using PIE & task switch or go to today or any other applications, when I try to come back to PIE it's been closed. I then have to re-open PIE & it loads my default page not where I was. It seems very tempermental in this version closing down whenever it is in the background, but not all the time. Very strange. Since I am using data each web page load this seems like a error that would benefit the service provider. :roll: Odd since I never had this problem in earlier versions (keep in mind all these versions are on the same build) Hmmmm?

2) If I reg hack to put my cookies, history, & temp internet files on SD & I get disconnected from the network it will, from that point forward start using main memory again. If I delete these files from main memory it then starts using SD card again which tells me the reg hack was never actually changed back to what it was before my edit. How strange is that? For some reason it just starts using RAM even though the registry is set to tell it to use SD. Go figure? Again not ever occurring in previous versions.

Has anyone else experienced this? Just curious.

I still think Ozone version was still the most stable minus the Alarms issue which still plagues many of the non-phone edition 2003 devices.

It would be nice to see a ROM version based on Ozone minus the alarms issue & the 2 battery icons w/the new version of WinModem coming from O2 included in the new O2-XDA2. I think this would be an ideal ROM. Just a blind item suggestion... :wink: and of course whatever other little programs can be fit 8)

Try freeing up more ram.

I find if I multitask too many the os will start closing them especially PIE and EzWap when you have

web pages open.

Oh yah cache for PIE dont work too well either it always reload from the net when I go back to previous pages.This is true for the deaktop IE so I dont know what the cache is suppose to do.

For EzWap it does reload from cache but maybe because I am usually surfing Wap pages.

I just noticed today there are text files which were created on 03-19-13 which is yesterday in storage/sdcard0.

The two files are

Domtree.text

Rendertree.text
