Determining true model of SM-G900F S5 Clone

I have what I believe is a clone of an SM-G900F, how can I go about getting the true information about the model number/specs of the phone? The information listed under device info corresponds to the genuine model...

A second question I have is are there any AOSP ROMs that are compatible with these HDC MTK clones?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone else flash the pre-rooted firmware listed on the OP and have their device stick on a black screen at boot? Anyone manage to resolve this issue?

Here's my phone about screen.... took that before I messed with it, but it just points to the real s5 firmware :(

Managed to get mine back going with this firmware...

http://www.needrom.com/download/hdc-galaxys-s5-g900f/

I then tried the OP firmware again, my phone turned on, had all sounds and vibration when you touched the screen., but the screen remained black.

Only issue I have with the recovery firmware that i have running is some of the folders labeled in the launcher aren't in English. Is there any way to change that? Changing the default system language and rebooting didn't change them...

Hell, the firmware isn't in English outside the os :( even recovery isn't in English.

Hi, i bought a clone galaxy s5 for the fun of itnot sure if its HDC most likely with octa CPU, i got the one with real 2gb ram - 16gb ram - real 1080p IPS screen , and real fingerprint.

i was very surprised how good the screen is and also how good the fingerprint works , the included battery is crap, which is sorted with a genuine battery

only issue GPS doesnt seem to find sat, is there any custom roms for it ? i see needroms site but not sure which one to use ?

Thanks

Root Master is the same as iRoot (former vRoot) or? same website it seems.
Why not use newest iRoot? Root Master seems to be an very old version.

Hey,

I have since august a hdc s5 and something i would like to warn everyone here is that the original S5 battery does fit in the hdc s5 but i really don't recommend anyone doing it because one week after i bought the phone i replaced the battery with an original one and less than a month 2 white marks appeared on my screen because of battery overheating and later the top right corner of my screen detached! 2 weeks ago i detached all my screen off and glued it. Now i have a big crack on my screen... everything keeps working fine but its really annoying having a big crack and the white marks on the screen :/ but if i don't use too much the phone the battery can last me 3 days! but i highly don't recommend swapping it because its almost twice as large!

Now i would like some help on something, does anyone have cell reception problems? my cell reception is very bad, in my house i cant really talk unless im near a window and this never happened with other phones(and still doesn't with other phones in the house).

I would like to know if anyone knows how to boost the signal with some parts or tweaks!

Other than that this is a great phone for the price!

Thanks in advance

    HDC Galaxy S5 G900F 1:1 MTK6592 OctaCore 1.7GHz 5.1" HD IPS / Real IR Remote Control

    UNBOXING

    REVIEW

    VIDEO CAMERA TEST

    Let us collect all hacking & development info here about this device, and help each other.
    This phone is also by some called the "Thunderbird Galaxy S5"
    1:1 S5 white clone/replica with all logos and 1:1 accessories.

    Pre-rooted ROM:
    http://www.needrom.com/mobile/hdc-s5-g900f-mtk6592/

    ROOT:
    Can be rooted using the "read back" method using MTK droidtools.
    But not with all the one-click-root tools.

    Samsung bootanimations:
    The original Samsung bootanimation and shutdown animation IS in the media folder inside system on the phone! Just need to remove the "2" in the end of the filenames, and they will show. You can do that after you have ROOTED the device!

    hi

    still stuck on rooting...no way....

    one of my big issue is also that stock recovery is not working....as well any CWM recovery I tried to port...

    if I runb the phone on stock recovery the screen become "white" and didn't show anyrthing...like stock recovery is failing to load...very strange...

    did you have a stock recovery or any CWM recovery to pass me?

    Ok after some trouble, I have now managed to ROOT it manually (and I have CWM recovery on it instead of the chinese version, but CWM will be upside down, but it works) with the "read back method" using MTK droidtools and Spflashtool (none of the one-click-root tools will work on this one). Will provide a backup of my rooted ROM later on needrom.com and my modified boot.img and recovery.img plus some info here on XDA.

    Update1
    In simple steps, it works like this, with MTK droid tools I extracted my original boot and recovery from the phone, after that I patched them with MTK droid tools. Then I flashed the patched boot and recovery back into the phone. After that I was able to root and send SuperSU into the phone with MTK droid tools, and also create and flash CWM recovery to the phone. Sounds simple? well, I had to do some HEX editing etc. to be able to create the "read back" start and lenght to the patched files and it actually took a lot of time to do.

    (this is only for users who are experienced in flashing using Spflashtool and MTKdroidtools)
    Here is my full stock ROM prerooted http://www.needrom.com/mobile/hdc-s5-g900f-mtk6592/

    Update2 (this is only for users who are experienced in flashing using Spflashtool and MTKdroidtools)
    If you dont want to flash the whole ROM, just flash my patched boot.img and recovery.img, download them from here https://www.sendspace.com/file/y0u1wu

    Of course you need to have all drivers installed before you do this. Unpack my files, start Spflash tool, load the scatter file, choose bootimg and pick my patched boot file, do the same for the recovery, and have checkmark in both, then flash the 2 files into your G900F. Should flash and end with a green circle if everything went good.
    After that boot phone, connect phone to pc, start up mtk droid tools, it should show root shell now, go to tab 2 in mtk droid tools, before the "backup" button and the SuperSU where greyed out, but you should be able now to click the SuperSU, and send it to the phone to get root access. Also you should be able to create the CWM recovery now and send it to the phone.

    model is not really important....build number is important, we have the same

    Funny that my data are like yours and just change the model.

    well, if you want to post your DUMP to be flashed via SP FLASH TOOL, you have to post your !Files_to_FlashTool with inside the SYSTEM.IMG
    otherwise you can avoid to post !Files_to_FlashTool....not usefull at all by anybody to be used.

    the DUMP you should do is with SP FLASH TOOL ( READBACK FUNCTION )......then the whole rom you get ( ROM_ ) must be exctracted with MTK DROID TOOL and you should get the whole rom in clear including your EBR2 as well as SYSTEM.img

    the way you root the phone is well known by senior user or developer like me.....but as said it's not working on my firmware device, I did weeks before you my friends...

    post your FULL DUMP, so I can try to see if it's running on my model , again it's only I try I can do to9 use a firmware rootable...mine is not rootable yet and custom recovery can't be installed , at least not the traditional CWM....maybe a TWRP yes but did not tried yet

    thanks

    PS: to reply to the user who ask for repartitioning the internal storage and have more space for apks...I know how to do it, need time to do that but I will come back with ( hopfully ) new EBR1 and EBR2 for that.
    also having a firmware with only EBR1 is possible to "modify" it and change internal partition...but this S5 clone have both.....

    Why are we talking about system.img? According to the info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332783 for read back root, the system.img is not important at all (step 15). Only the boot.img and recovery.img is needed. And where do I say something about SYSTEM folder?

    OK guys, I rooted my phone....

    step to do for those who has my same model:

    1) install the attached CWM Recovery using SP FLASH TOOL
    PS: when you run phone on CWM Recovery can be your screen is up_side_down but CWM Recovery is fully working anyway
    file: CWM Recovery.zip
    https://mega.co.nz/#!ltwHwLzD!WLvTIrAGZ3vQZ1YziI46uGuk5fzJjrvB026k0_6GK0s

    2) run from CWM Recovery the following and super great script ( thanks for master user Chainfire for his great supersu )
    download: http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip

    Cheers
