Having made my fair share of mistakes in buying junk I would add the following buying advice
BUY DEVICE with only these filesystems
ext4
vfat
This means you need to ask the seller to confirm that even though it is a Mediatek device.....it has only above and none from below
I have had nothing but trouble with
UBIFS....mtd
YAFFS would be similar
If the seller or reseller refuses to tell you.....or simply refuses to turn it on to check
----that is a very good indicator what level of support to get from that seller
and avoid them please.
If google suggests there are 2 variants out there, one with UBIFS and one normal
ask seller to take a photo of their phone with a piece of paper with your name on it, draped over device
---- so they can not steal an image from off the web....with luck
good luck
