EDIT3 (IMPORTANT): if after a reflash, you start seeing a "NVRAM ERROR 0x10" (or the lagging originated by it) in your Hyundai EAGLE, you need to make it go away by following the procedure detailed at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (ROOT REQUIRED)...​

One further question remains: how to install a reliable recovery (CWM/TWRP) fit for this model? Tips welcome... :cyclops:

EDIT: And... I have Recovery (check 1st hidden image in present post). By following instruction from this post at the MTKDroid-Tool thread, it as simple a clicking a couple of times. I'd rather have a bigger font or a touch recovery, but hey, beggars can't be choosers...

EDIT2: And (again)... one must only ask -- I now have fully touch TWRP recovery v2.7.1.0 (stable) installed (see 2nd hidden image below), thanks to yuweng's excellent tutorial/utility:

(For lack of a better place, I'll dump here some of the pointers I gathered along the way...)

Codes:

Hidden tests screen - *#*#73#*#* and *#*#74#*#*

More hidden tests - *#*#4636#*#*

Engineer Mode -- *#*#3646633#*#*

(If you have SuperSU, you can access it with *#*#1234#*#*)​

You might have crossed paths with the [THREAD="2784183"]report of a bug[/THREAD] that supposedly affects most Mediatek based phones; I did, and tested positive with the recommended app. But after sending myself a test SMS, I can say happily that's not true for the Hyundai EAGLE -- KitKat to the rescue?

I disliked the default Hyundai boot up animation, so I searched for alternatives; the following instructions totally work for the EAGLE:

According to a GSM Arena search, these are possibly the most compatible devices, whose development to watch:

The Eccooqtium 5,5" Plus (JB, 5.5"!) is a comparable product sold in Spain by the real manufacturer of the Hyundai EAGLE :

After much searching, it seems the [THREAD="2785891"]Coolpad F1[/THREAD] (2GB RAM!) is the most popular comparable device:
