I hope someone here could.
If it is a clone, then it is not really a Note3 and none of the stuff here will work on it since it does not really have a Samsung system on it.
Hardware will be totally different, software will be totally different. You could try a few ROMS, but I'd guarantee nothing would work.. Have a nose around Google, you can usually find software for clone/copy phones.
I have a china s4 clone that won't connect to the mobile network for more than a couple of seconds. What tells me that it's not a hardware fault (antenna) is that it does connect for a few seconds at 3 bars but continuously cycles between signal / no signal / airplane mode. I have bought heaps of phones from china, i'm not sure what to make of this. I have rebooted and even done a factory reset. I have an old virgin sim in it (5 years old) and it seems to find the optus network fine and put in the relevant APN. I have even changed the APN to virgin specific stats. (it had a lot of issues with old data on the sim such as logs/sms, deleted them when in my old phone and now it's fine and doesn't bother me with the input tag message.) I could go get my newer sim cut down to fit but I thought I would ask in xda first.
it also keeps saying restricted access changed in the top bar when it does this cycling, another reason i think the antenna is fine. this is really depressing me.
i'm thinking it is a problem with the sim, if the newer sim works i'll post here and let the next person with this issue know

Indeed, it's a totally different phone..
It's likely to be using a MediaTek SOC probably a MT6589(T) but you can confirm using something like System Info Droid.

well this thread has been moved twice so don't blame me if it's in the wrong section
it's supposed to be MTK6589 quad core 1.6ghz
all i can get from system info apps is, armv7 rev0 v71
no. cores: 4
max frequency 1890mhz
instruction set armeabi-v7a
The point is, the only people who are going to be able to give you anything remotely resembling help are the people who bought the same device as you, which will be obviously based on their experiences with the device. 99.9999% of people who read/post here have genuine Samsung devices, and are going to be giving you questionable guesses at best.
If you want help here, you're going to need to be really patient.

the more guesses the better i mean, i've heard reports of people having very similar issues with genuine s4's actually. things like, sim card not making proper contact and also the "IMEI" was not on the telco's whitelist (apparently a blacklist isn't secure enough for them). I am very patient and i've had loads of help on XDA with china phones. the only thing i don't need is condescending asses that think they are better than everybody because they can afford to spend hundreds on "brands".

S4 Clons are so different from original s4 as HTC one from LG G2 is... So why did you choose this forum instead HTC one forum or a Nokia forum?
Anyway, if you are really sure your issue is the same issue as some original s4, i would suggest to open a new thread explaining again your problem and this time don't write you have a s4 clon. People will give you ads thinking it is a original s4, and if you were right you will not brick your clon if anyone suggest you something incompatible to your clon. But consider this: if you brick your phone because doing anything compatible to our S4 but not to your clon, you will be the only responsible.

Actually, you completely missed my point OP (as I expected you would). My point was, why should anyone fumble around & waste their time helping you when you're dopey enough to buy a knockoff device you obviously have no clue how to troubleshoot if something goes wrong ?
I haven't & won't.
Because there are enough people who do the right thing & buy genuine devices to help here without helping bozos who buy devices from 'manufacturers' (term used loosely) who break god knows what international trade laws & violate who knows how many patents by making these things.
That was my point.
Your point about the cost of genuine devices was bull****. Plenty of manufacturers make great devices with tons of features at price points well below the S4/other similar devices.

I think you completely missed my point, which i thought you would. I bought the phone because it was the best android phone I could find for the price, not because I wanted an S4, which I don't.
and I will say it again, this thread has been moved here by a mod so don't ask me why I posted here because I didn't.
It clearly isn't the best android phone for it's price if you can't connect to a mobile network mate.
Chinese phones have a lot of issues, the build quality and QC is bad and cheap.
I'd just go and buy a second hand S3 or S2, that's probably the same price and would be miles better.

this is the problem with XDA. somebody doesn't know the answer to the question but they just have to give their opinion about something nobody asked for on a subject completely irrelevant. Did I ask for the best alternative phone? Did I ask for an opinion on chinese QC? If you don't have anything to contribute to fix a problem as described, with the phone as described, in the OP, then don't reply.

You would be right if this thread would be posted in his corresponding device forum, but it doesn't. People here knows a lot of issues for their s4 device, but not necessarily for other devices as s2, lg, Nokia, unbranded as yours..., and if they knew, they would answer to move it to the correct s2, lg, Nokia or unbranded devices forums before giving a possible solution. Yes, we don't know how to solve your issue, mainly because we have never touched your model device, as neither we wouldn't know how to solve same issue for a, for example, htc one, because we don't have got a htc one...
Where did you originally posted it? Search the correct forum for your brand (generic devices, other devices, unbranded devices, Chinese devices...) and post it there, and if you don't find it in xda, you will have to search for it in other forum platform if you really want anyone help you...

And here you are over a week later sans help. Hate to say I told you so (you bought up the cost of genuine handsets in the first instance BTW, not me)
Some users want help from people but keep giving back hands to "xda members"
I remember an ex user over on dhd that eventually got band because of abusing the very people he so desperately needed help from.

Some people dont like being told the truth.This thread has been cleaned up already because the OP descended into posting abuse, and accused everyone with an s4 that they were fools for buying a "proper" s4.
His justification was that he cant afford a proper s4.He has already been told xda doesnt support clones, and in life you get what you pay for.
One good thing to come out of this is he shouldnt have any current or future problems with knox!

descend? really? lol. And what does it matter where I originally posted when it was moved here by a mod. I'm assuming the mod knows better than me and actually took the time to read what the post was about before he moved it so HE thinks it's in the best place. nuff said. Also I could give advice on any brand of phone, and any operating system on any machine. the amount of knowledge would differ depending on the subject. Believe it or not you may be completely stumped at non s4 questions but there may be people like me who wouldn't be. The firmware seems to be "heavily inspired" by an S4 as well so S4 knowledge could be quite relevant if the problem is firmware based.

Ok, you win, if you are right and it is true your firmware is "heavily inspired" by an S4, here is the solution for your issue any of us would apply:
- download last firmware update from here and loaf of into odin: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=0#firmware
- enter in download mode (if you are able to...), by pressing pwr+home+vol- (our s4 enter here successfully... Does your "s4" enter?
- flash and enjoy your bricked s4 (our s4 will not brick applying it)

Lol it's a forum mate, people can say what they like (within reason) and I was actually giving you good advice. No need to be rude.
A genuine second hand S2 is a lot better than a clone S4, simple. Not my fault you've bought a piece of rubbish and now can't fix it.
No idea why a mod moved this question here, it's as good here as it is in a Sony Experia thread. The firmware on your phone isn't based on TW at all, it is just made to look like TW.
Try this thread:

Hello XDA,
I was in a bind with a broke phone and had to purchase this one. Unfortunately I am thinking that this was not a good idea as with this phone I can't seem to get it on a network higher than Edge. No 3G or LTE.
Does anyone know if the 5006 is different with the hardware or should I just try an custom ROM?
Any help is appreciated as I can't seem to find anything on the 5006 model of the Note 3

Sorry i missread your post for the N9006 initialy, try to get your money back from the shop if they sold it to you as a Note 3.
Hello guys i dont know, i have been searching all over google and i cannot find anything that helps me weel the truth is i dont understand much of rooting and roms etc etc... I know little... So its the following i have bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini SM-9006V from fastcardtech and the phone has numerous problems:
- Unlocking by sliding to the menu not working only by camera icon.
- Contacts get all messed up when i scroll down
- Youtube videos wont play
- Phone is too Slow
So my question is: "Is there any tutorial on how to install a rom for this clone ? "
I need a good rom for this chinese phone compatible with its model and a tutorial on how to do this ?
Sorry if i posted this on wrong section. And sorry for my bad english...
There is no support here for clones. It probably has a MediaTek chipset, in which case it won't be compatible with anything in the S5 forums.

Nah it's valid. He put money into a device that has zero support from the company. Unless he spent less than $100 USD, he might as well have gotten a low end device with similar specs that actually comes with support from the company.

Some people think that clones are very close to the real thing, so they think they are getting a good deal. Maybe scams too.

Go to needrom[dot]com you'll find lots of ROMS for Chinese phones. I had the same phone as yours and I'm currently looking for the right ROM so help/notify me if you got one :good:
Greetings,
I have been looking for a battery case for my Samsung J5 (J500FN) but it seems impossible to find one. I did find some websites with an image and information but shows as unavailable for few months now. I was wondering if anyone has one and can direct me to a website or a place to buy one. It seems like all phones have one except for mine.
I would appreciate a reply if you have any idea.
