can i flash a xperia knockoff??

i have a question, i bought my husband a phone that looks exactly like the xperia but it has been debranded and has the iphone theme, well anyway he wants me to change the rom and thats fine iv flashed a few different phones but the thing is this the phone does not work with activesyc and i know i can flash through the micro sd card but iv followed the instructions to get to the bootloader screen but it does not work, is it possible that the phone just looks like the xperia, a knockoff and im stuck with the rom thats there or am i missing something, ok thanks

Give us a photos of this device
and the photo of sticker under the battery
It's can be easy just some of japanice clones

and if it's a clone, I'm shure you can't flash it

Did you install Hard-SPL before trying to flash?

what is the INTERNAL hardware of the phone?
maybe it is just the cover that looks like.. and internally it is just a say... k700 SE?

ok here is a pic and the internal numbers are as follows model number GR8, GSM quadband digital mobile phone , i cand hardspl the phone cause activesync does not work with it unless im supposed to hard spl through the micro sd card, that i can do, but wasnt sure if i should ok well thanks for any and all help anyone can give me

You should probably remove the IMEI number from your previous post.
Dont want other people getting hold of that.

How come? Can you explain this please?

i seriously doubt that you have had any experience modding/flashing phones, when you cannot tell the difference between a genuine and counterfeit phone, maybe if the models looked even remotely similar i would believe your story...

does it run windows mobile? curious

It's even "better" then Xperia if DE correct. Trip-band only but with DualSim and G-sensor!
Ah, they forgot to put in GPS...
A pity the original X1 lacks of G-sensor and DualSim with Standby. Would be as twice as expensive I believe.

[Question] Please Help XDA Gods

I just bought a second hand t-mobile HD2 last night which i intend to install android and wp7. The phone worked great for the first 2 hours before i put my sim in (it was in my mytouch 4g). I pulled the battery to put the sim in and once i turned my phone on i get 7 vibrates and it stays at the stay together screen. The longer i leave the battery out of my phone the longer i can use the phone for. It always freezes and restarts. I looked at the pins in the back but they seem fine.
Edit: Just stress tested it at 1.5ghz for 3 mins hottest it went was 31 degrees Celsius. I honestly have no idea what the problem is
Heres a video i made of it the battery was out for about 3 mins

AND put your question in your title! PLEASE. Nice pictures, though!

Someone's obviously had it apart for some reason, and that doesn't bode well. Can you try it with another battery, just to rule out a battery problem?

is that better?

Drain Battery without Galaxy 3?

I ordered a new battery but its gonna take some time before it arrives.
By the time I was thinking if there is any way to drain out my old battery without using my Galaxy 3?
Maybe like attaching a light bulb?
Is it possible?

w h y ??

I don't know.....
Just curious I guess.....
Or is there anyway by which the phone stops calculating the battery left and then directly switches off when the battery becomes 0?
And my new battery hasn't arrived yet.....

Maybe with a LED... not?

Don't do anything like this, it could kill the battery or even be more dangerous.

The battery is already as good as dead.
What worse could happen?

Wow these are some serious temps... although i have the exynos model it gets hot too but i have never measured it... But to be honest i havent be able to feel the heat as i am using a case... Don't know what its all about , but it cools down really fast... I wouldn't worry though... I mean you should start worrying when you get other hardware issues and you know that are attributed to the heat .

That's what I'm saying...

It looks legit. Hopefully there is an instruction video to follow sooner then later.

I swear... If this is legit, then I can definitely hold out on getting another phone like I was about to do...

XDA Bounty on 10/2014 now one year ..... OK ?? Go on

If This is suppose to be permanent why didn't he reboot the device to prove it.

I thought the same thing but he did power it on himself. That's what I was thinking. It didn't look like a reboot.

This wouldn't be a developer device running retail firmware????
Sorry but I'm finding this to hard to believe.
I thought we would never see root.

Man this can't be real I just gave up my note4 a week ago for this edge.
