Here are instructions sent from the seller of the phone to me.

=\-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

- For the RAM, you can download an app called Android System info to see that its really 1GB ram I have inserted a screenshot of it showing 1GB ram on the same device i have in stock.

- the Cpu is clocked to 1.0GHZ and can go up to 1.2 ghz when under heavy load, but normal speed is 1.0ghz to save on power and to not overheat.

- If you look on the back of the phone where you put the battery, the phone model is written there, it should be H7100+

- For the GT-N7102( that is whjat is displays in the operating system), they make the phone look like an original note 2, so the Google Play Store will show all the apps associated with this phone, if instead it showed H7100+ then you would see much less apps in the Play Store.

- For the problem you have with the phone, try removing the battery for 5min, put it back, put on charge with usb cable on computer (just in case it maybe the charger that is defect) leave it for charge for an hour then try to boot again.

- Also, how did you checked for the RAM ? because if you go into Settings -> Storage -> Internal storage. this is the amount of memory allocated to install APPs, this memory come from the ROM (4GB) memory But if you want to see the total RAM without installing the app, the you can go Settings -> Apps -> Running. Then you will see at the bottom, the amount of Free RAM and used RAM.

Recovery mode for Star H7100

If the phone still not power up after you removed the battery, you can try this :

- remove battery, put it back

- press and hold the Volume + and the Power button together until you see a green robot with a red ! mark on it.

- press the menu (round button at bottom) to access the menu, and use volume buttons to scroll up and down.

- select Wipe Data/Factory reset

- to select, click the back button (bottom left)

- select YES

- after its done, select reboot system now.

I am working on the creation of the rom now and since i recieved my replacement phone i want to make sure of creating the rom for me and others to use to save from disaster.

The spec on this phone (I think) are great.

Problem right now I am having is gettin the scatter file to create.

I will post the links I have used here with my research and onece complete will upload/find a place to host the newly created/backed up rom.

I want to thank all the developers and creators or the info I have found and all credit to them for inspiring me to try to help others.
