Visionary+ tool can be found at xda developers forum. Root_files.zip include a virus, so dont download it using pc, i ve download it from phone itself. Virus cracks the OS. Tool does not require a adb connection. Important point is use it for temproot. After temprooting i use mobileuncletools for permroot.

I have managed to source an identical phone, how do I use the ROM and flash it on my bricked one?

:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] girdap:
If you have a rom i recommend to use mtk droid root and tool ver. 2.4.8 . Tool and lots of info can be found at xda forum pages. After i rooted this phone i used it for complete image backup. Also i ve used it to remove chinese options. You have to install adb drivers on your pc and open the usb debuging on the phone, before using tool. Entering recovery menu is accessed by pressing power+volumedown buttons while booting the phone. if you found a newer rom like 4.1.2 inform us.

i solved all problem.

this phone has 2 gb fake ram. it is really 512mb. so after booting android it is using %90 ram. and after some app opened it is reaching over %95.

so phone running very solw.

For this problem i installed "swapper for root" app form https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.azasoft.free.swapper&hl=tr

and i add 256MB swap file. Now it is very fast and usable

Guys, as you I also have an galaxy note 2 clone, the same android, the same configuration of kernel, fake prosessor, etc

The point is tha I'm developing an app, and it is so important for me to get root permission, cause in the app, the code modifies the apn db

I have tried with all the tools I've founded on the net, like shuame, mtkrootall, rootpro, motochopper exploit, etc

I'm having no success with any of above

WHEN IM TRYING TO ROOT IT BY VISIONARY APK, I tap on temp root, the the screen says rooting, after 10 sec it goes black, like Ian most videos of cellphones being rooted by visionary

But the ph is not root, it does not appear The superuser, what I'm doing wrong?

DON'T TRY IT (unless you are certain it will work, then please tell me) :)

My phone had almost exactly the same specs and hardware. The processor was the exact same, and here are some points:

1) Mine died.

2)Because of my repeated attempts to root it or flash/change the ROM.

3)He is now a nice flat paperweight as I bricked him.

I conclude the best thing to do is live with the dodgy android and try and make do :/ I tried everything and eventually destroyed the external RAM.

Hope this helps.

How to Flash the "ROM_1" to the Phone

Hi "frdngmz" & Everyone:

I tried have been trying all ways and means to reflash my Bricked Cloned Note 2 Phone via all methods posted in forums, however none of them works for poor bricked phone.

My phone's hardware is 100% or perhaps 99% same as your phone description.

Mine even state the phone CPU is MT6575_S01 or MTK6575! (The one advertised on web is MTK6577 or MT6577):confused:

Looks like you have already revived your bricked phone, I really sincerely hope you could share the methods of flashing such file(s). (ROM_1)

At the moment, I always have this error when I flash.

[BROM ERROR: S_DA_DRAM_NOT_SUPPORT (3004)]

My current SP Flash Tool: v3.1312.0.139

My current bricked phone's condition:

- Totally Bricked

- No Display

- No Status Indicator Light

- No "Recovery Mode" (Even pressed Volume_Up + Power button)

It would be good if you could describe "at which step press what button"...

Anyone with info, please kindly help out here...

so sad

Hi everyone!

It is so sad to see everyone struggling with this stupid phone.

The dishonesty of the people who made this phone is really a shame.

If they were just honest about the specs and included stock android it would have been so much better.

But I think it is karma well served. Because we supported dishonest people making money off Samsung's name now we pay the price.

I've still not done anything to my phone cos I think it will be very time consuming and the risk of bricking it is high.

Root would be nice to delete the hacked Antutu benchmark app and whatever other junk I can find.

But it works as it is.

I can't trust the software running on it.

I have a new, original Samsumg now anyway.

I will just sell it, telling the buyer everything.

I will never buy something like this ever again.

Peace guys

PS:

If anyone wants to contribute a SIMPLE & FOOLPROOF step by step guide to root the phone and show what junk to delete I think it will help a lot of people.

I'm almost tempted to donate the phone to one of the gurus on this forum so they can create a cyanogenmod for it. But that will just continue the cycle, making more reason for people to buy fake phones.

But I'm sure some people also get tricked.

I never bought the phone for the fake name. I just wanted the nice (and cheap) phone that was demonstrated to me.

Root that China!

Sorry I know I'm very late with this but I hope it will help somebody who wants to root their Chinese Android.

This method works with a lot of MTK65xx(replace xx with whatever) systems.

Step 1: Because you dont really know about the source of the phone, and literally anything about it, you can't find specific drivers. Download something like SnapPea and connect your device to you Windows(maybe mac?) system with USB Debugging ON.

It installs a generic driver that works in most cases.

Step 2: Use VROOT, connect your device in USB Debugging again, and try your luck.

It worked for me with 1 Chinese phone similar to the one mentioned in the thread but did not work for a samsung phone... so its a hit or miss.
