They are not the same phone. HTM a9500 actually isn't an MTK phone at all - it's Spreadtrum chipset.
You still can use xPosed and GravityBox if you have Android 4.2. It's unlikely you'll have a problem, but if you do, you'll need the backup.
So it's your choice whether to give it a go or not without a backup. To make the backup requires an entirely different method because MTK Droid Tools aren't compatible with Spreadtrum phones.
To restore the backup if you need it, you'll need CWM custom recovery to restore.

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

You have a Spreadtrum phone, not MTK. Backup is an entirely different procedure. There are no auto-backup tools like MTK Droid Tools for Spreadtrum.

I got my s820 not charging nor connecting to PC after flashing to MIUI ROM.
Previously i have VIBE UI 1.5 as my ROM.
Then I downloaded MIUI_S820_4.3.21_757d0a5a1f_4.2.zip and flashed it via TWRP. The flashing process was successful. But when i try to connect to PC, it won't connecting anymore. When the battery getting low, i put my chrger on, and it won't charging as well.
I try to change my ROM back to my previous ROM nor trying to change to LEWA but still no luck.
Last night i try to flash STOCK_CN ROM. At first, yes it's not connected even after i take off the battery. It still won't connect.
I try to put my battery on and then let the SP_Flashtool finish the purple progress bar on PC. Then, while holding down "power" & "volume +" button, i connected it to USB port. At the middle of The flashing process i let go off my hand from the button and the flashing process still continue.
Yeah the STOCK_CN ROM installed successfully, but still no luck.. it still not charging nor connecting to PC even after switch back to STOCK_CN ROM.
Please help.
Thanks
