[Q] Samsung S5 clone

Hi everybody, I have a HDC Galaxy S5 Clone MT6572. After trying to install a ROM with Flash Tools, the green circle popped out and the phone was just DEAD. I followed the steps given by ITXtutor (YouTube: How to Unbrick Every China Phone! SP Flash tool Error Fix Tutorial [HD]), but the thing is that I don’t have a Backup (I did it but someone delete it), so I'm really stucked right now. I'd really appreciate any help with this issue.

Look here http://hdcmobile.com/hdc-galaxy-s5-n9600.html at the bottom of the screen in the link and contact them about where to download a rom and how to flash it.
And don`t flash anything from here cause you don`t have a Galaxy S5. Please look for another forum specificaly for your device, good luck mate

Your reply implies that you didn't understand his answer. Go read his reply again. He explained what you need to do.
For clarity, do not use the firmware images, tools, advice, et cetera from XDA because they are intended for original devices, not clones. And a lot of procedures here will brick a clone.
You need to look at a different forum that discusses how to install firmware on your clone model.

Completely new to android system

Hi guys ,
I have recently brought a Samsung s7 edge on EE in the UK, I did but the phone second hand but appears to be working correctly to start .
The phone will not find any software updates or play pokemon go for my son and Samsung knox is also tripped out , says the software has been modified in a unauthorised way, I went to samsung and they said it has been rooted and void of warranty so all I can do is Give them £250 for a new motherboard for the phone.
I followed some instructions by downloading a terminal client and it's not showing me as having super user status on the device ,
.I've had I phones since day one and was loving the freedom of android but I really do find myself out of my league as I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to this kind of stuff . I'm looking to either flash the phone back to its factory state or have the phone rooted properly to allow me to update etc
I'm very apprehensive about attempting this myself and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a idiots guide on how to or specialist on here who would do it for payment if I were to meet them somewhere with their laptop
I have tried Google searching but nothing much seems to make sense , thanks in advance

You want to flash a stock firmware. Get everything working OK first. Try "Updato" for fast firmware downloads. Try a "BTU" firmware. Download Samsung phone drivers and Odin. YouTube Odin very simple to use. Should restore your phone. Then look into rooting.

The phone is modified in a way that it was rooted before, but prior to selling, the vendor unrooted it. Pokemon Go will not work on a rooted device.
First thing is to find the exact build of the phone (under software info in the about section of settings), then look for the corresponding firmware. Trustworthy sources is this forum and sammobile (I usually get my firmware files here). Samsung PC drivers can be found on the internet. Officially they are installed on the PC when you install Samsung SmartSwitch (Samsung's PC Backup and Updating software). Then download Odin. You will use that to flash the stock firmware back onto your phone.

you need to unroot and Relock the Bootloader

The UK S7 Edge, which is the Exynos variant (G935F) doesn't have bootloader restrictions in that form, thus there is nothing to "relock".

Why do you link to an article on a questionable site, named exactly what I'd imagine a phishing, scammer website would call it to someone completely new to Android!? Seriously, stop linking to these weird a** pages. These pages only exist to generate traffic. They're not even ran by real people. The same exact text on that website is on five other websites, copied and pasted. This is not productive. New users need assistance that's going to help them in the long term. They have to understand the process.
@Elliottsdaddy You want your device restored to its original state. Unrooted. The process of unrooting by flashing a stock firmware is fairly complicated for a newbie and requires you to extensively read and comprehend the tutorial/process. Seriously. There is a lot that can go wrong. I'm gonna ask you to follow the link below. It's a tutorial, posted on XDA by one of our senior members @henklbr. If you have questions, first use the search function and see if your question has already been answered by someone. If not, feel free to ask and give enough detail so people can help you appropriately.

NEED HELP with S8 Plus Retail Demo Model

Hello XDA Members
I tried to flash a stock rom into this s8 plus retail demo model# G955XU through ODIN 3.12.3 using stock firmware from sammobile. I get a PASS from ODIN but when the phone reboots and tries to install the files it goes upto 32% then restarts then this message comes up:
"Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost"
I tried 3 different firmware from BELL, Rogers & Telus G955W Canadian carriers but no result. Also when I unzip the firmware files from Sammobile I get 5 files BL. Ap. CP. CSC_OYA & Home_CSC_OYA but in odin there are only 4 slots. I tried both home and CSC file into the CSC slot but no results. Your help will be greatly appreciated

Why do you want demo mode? It's literally a resource hog and can only be removed with hard reset. If you want the demo videos that come preloaded, you can download them from the Samsung retail website

kind of wondering the same. hopefully that's not the case, but yeah, kind of comes off that way with the little information given.

Hello
Hello there
I am facing the same problem, flashed with Odin and got and error message: The phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is Locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
Any way around this problem?
Do let me know guys

In Europe for the S6 and S7 the demo units do not have the same hardware as the retail products for cost efficiency. There is therefore no way to get them to work with a retail software version.
I have not had any feedback as to the S8 but chances are that it is the same.
Shops here often get them free of charge and some do sell them to make some extra money.

1. Sounds like a stolen phone?
2. Hardware may be, and likely is, different as another user pointed out.
3. Even if you got it to work you couldn't make phone calls or use mobile data as the IMEI will likely be blocked/blacklisted by all the telcos.

Hey there guy I got a S8 SM-G950X LDU . Anybody knows how to flash it with odin?

This just doesnt seem right.
It is likely a stolen phone or something else.
I am closing thread for now.

Got a new vibe, has Vibe UI v2 installed. Can I get stock?

Hi all,
My old vibe died and couldnt find a better phone on the market since 2015 so got a new one. However I dont know what the heck is installed on this one.
I have never rooted before but have a cs degree so im not out my league. With the details in the image below, do you know what I can do to get stock installed?
The phone has a trojan application called fun weather and i cant remove it. Have done everything from root access to hard deleted. But as soon as i get wifi again it downloads. Are all custom roms like this so the developer can make cash? I also dont know if this is ROW or China. It has google services installed.
VERSION AND DETAILS SCREENSHOT HERE (2K image here fills the whole browser.)

Regardless apprecaite the help here.

OK so after failing to remove it I was able to flash the device.
I made a guide for my future self and also to show that the China mobile varient can be easily flashed and still work. Im from UK and no issues with SIM. It also read my philippines card no problem

Maybe this was one of the early firmware. Lenovo has given 5.0 to this mobile. Why didn't you try to update it?

LS990 need instructions for root please

Hi,
My D852 board failed from WiFi issue. While traveling replaced mobo with LS990 Sprint board. It won’t connect to data now because of cdma issue with gsm sim.
I’ve been reading on here for a week or more trying to sort out what I need to do.
Therefore, my goal is to get gsm data and sim working in the simplest way possible.
Please help:
1. Instructions to root it. It’s a LS990ZVE build with 5.01. I can’t find info on zve rooting. I google and find very little if anything. Do I have to downgrade or upgrade the system to root it?
2. Once I root I will install the TWRP app and make a NANDroid copy so I don’t get into trouble. I would like to install LineageOs 16 (or otherwise based on your opinions) for Android 9.0 and Gapps. Will this work on my motherboard and build?
3. Will the LineageOs 16 rom also fix the cdma to gsm problem? Or do I have to use a patch on top of lineageos16?
4. Can I perform all of these changes without using a pc? Using apps and the storage on the phone or sd card? I’m trying to keep it simple.
5. The board is clean right now without my old LG backup restored yet. At what point can I restore this LG backup to the new board? Before rooting? Or after flashing with LineageOs 16. The problem for me is I did the backup with the lg installed software and the file likely won’t be compatible once I flash with a new rom?
Please help.
Thank you.

Your going to want to replace that board with a compatble gsm model or use the phone on sprint
Using a Sprint model board/G3 your gonna have nothing but problems and a bad time with it. Not worth the headache even if it was free

Hi Hyelton,
Thank you for responding.
I would still like to give this a try as I have nothing to lose and will use the phone only for another 4-6 months then I’m buying a new phone. I’ve been dealing with the WiFi issue on the original board for 12monhs on a weekly basis, taking it apart and repositioning the plastic credit card fix and/or heating the WiFi chip. I can always flash this Sprint cdma board back to the original Sprint code with the nandroid backup if it’s not working happily. Also, I’m in Canada and can’t use the Sprint network from here.
Therefore, please let me know what methods to use as I will greatly appreciate help. I’m interested in this realm of android as a hobby and learning something new.

What software is it currently running? If anything newer most likely won’t have any chances... there are several methods. But most involve software version ZV8. If it’s newer than that downgrading is prob not an option.
And you’ll need a windows PC you can’t do this from the phone itself

It has android 5.01 (lollipop?) and build is LS990ZVE
I had a hard time finding information on the differences of ZV_ line up of android so I don’t know if ZVE is newer or older than ZV8.
I have a laptop running Windows 7 and a pc running vista ( but vista pc not with me right now).

You stated that above. ZVE is 5.0.1. It’s newer than ZV8.
Your gonna need to pay someone with an oculus box most likely. And paying for a phone line that it would be cheaper to just buy a gsm one
