Trying to root or fix my galaxy s4 clone

[baronet]

Hello all!

I'm having trouble getting into a recovery mode or download mode what so ever! I have done every possible button/pull bat/usb cable connect combination ever lol.

Its truly a bummer since I have no idea what this phone really is, it seams to be a clone of galaxy s4. The reason I want to root because current rom recognizes the simcard but won't let me to make any calls.

I have made a few vids so you guys can see what im doing and the results I get.



ADDITIONAL Info



Any recommendations would be highly appreciated as I truly don't know what else to do.

Thank you all.

The first video shows you going into factory mode. Try holding the volume button the other way to get into recovery.

What do you mean you can't make calls? Are you getting an error? Is there no signal? Is it calling out, but there's no ring? Please be more descriptive. If you're not getting a SIM signal, it might be because your phone doesn't have the necessary radio frequencies for your country.

As far as root, follow the sticky in Root/Hack forum.

I tied holding volume key the other way as well but the phone simply boots into the rom.
The problem with the phone is that it sees the card (t-mobile) and recognized the phone # and everything but nothing happens. I mean I would try to place a call and nothing, I'd try to open a browser and no internet. But when I go into the setting it say t-mobile detected for sms, net, and so on.

ARE YOU GETTING A SIGNAL? Do you see signal bars?

You mean you press call and it just sits there? Does it attempt to make the call? Does your screen go black?

Regarding going into recovery, have you tried holding the volume button for longer? If yes, when you get rooted, you can try to boot into recovery with Quick Boot from play.

Are you able to connect to the net via WiFi?

It would be helpful /for you, mostly/ if you two post the info about yor phones from Settings/About and/or Antutu.

As of now we cannot help you.

And I doubt we will be able to help you at all.

Seems like a broken hardware.

All my chinese phones, including really low-life F7100, are able to recognize SIMs and register on the appropriate networks immediately.

Are you getting any service? I mean, can you see some signal bars? If you don't see signal bars, it's most likely the phone doesn't have 850/1900GSM. It's also possible, but less likely, it's set to WCDMA only mode.

Finally i solved this problem regarding to "mobile networks available" cant detect signal, cant send/text messages issue, simply dial this number in your phone

Step 1.After phone power on dial *#*#3646633#*#* .

Step 2.A menu will appear on screen , then select GPRS.

Step 3.to change imei 1 select 1ST PDP and input new imei and select ok.

Step 4.After this action in order first select "Attached" , second select "Deattached" and all will be done.

P.S. if need to change second imei just follow the same steps, only the diffrence is on step 4 select 2ND PDP and thats it.

I hope it helps..it works on my phone galaxy s4
