Hello,
I just received a Coolpad 7230-B, bought in China.
The phone comes with android-baidu system installed. I would love to replace it with google os, as I can't understand all the chinese and don't like the baidu apps so much..
However I couldn't find any information about this phone, has anyone ever done that? Is is possible?
Let me know if you need any more information..
Thanks in advance.

Dear all,
desperately I am looking for a solution for a kind of very stupid and annoying problem:
I bought my Sony z1 compact in China. Model version: M51, Also called "colorful" in China
This Phone has a for China modified Android version installed. Nothing related to google works.
Well, sure the search engine in the browser. But I need the calendar, play store, etc.
Now I am thinking, has anybody experience with this device? ( only find posts to D5503)
Would it be possible to just update it with an international version? (Android 4.4 firmware 14.3.A.0.681)
Do i need to root, unlock Bootloader, or should a "normal update" work was well?
Or any other suggestions how to proceed?
I come the Apple world, where a jailbreak is one download and one click, I rooted a Xiaomi 2s with some small difficulties, but this looks way more complicated with this phone.... So any help would be appreciated..
Thanks,
mic
solved!
Well, developers,
forums are something strange. I really thought that anybody had a suggestion, a thought, an idea or whatever... 70 views and not a single answer.
Interesting.
Sure i could figure out that a root would help of course, but for a newbie like me, all of the descriptions have gaps and require much more knowledge about it, so that there is still a huge risk to screw it up and to maybe not destroy the phone, but to make it not usable until another solution is found.
Since I needed the phone, for receiving calls and SMS, i needed to go the less risky way and in the end - risk was still there ( is the M51w restricted to china and will not handle the firmware of the D5503) I followed the guide on the
"xperiafirmware" page called "Sony XPERIA Z1 Compact D5503 - Android 4.4 - firmware 14.3.A.0.681" ( sorry, cannot post links yet)
I just flashed the Android 4.4 - firmware 14.3.A.0.68 made for the d5503 (according to the guide "1. how to install the newest Android 4.4 for Sony XPERIA Z1 Compact D5503") it worked with out any problems.
One thing that might be misunderstanding is the Flashtool.
After downloading the flash tool its not called "Xperia flash tool", it looks the same as the "androxyde flash tool", and there is a second one which is the " Sony flash tool that is called "Emma" but the flash tool.
So,... just use the one this author linked in his guide, and don't get confused by the names..
Now I have my problems firstly solved. But have to say that, with that some others come...
- Google account sync seems to be not really under my control
- two google accounts even more hard to handle
- and further settings very limited, so that I sometimes even have the feeling i was free with iOS. And the Xiaomi of course let me taste the complete taste of freedom.
- SD card management
- Walkman
- album folders
...
Well , I will figure that out as well.
Hope this post will help somebody!
Just my 2 cents... Downgrade back to android 4.3 I'm pretty sure some of those problems will be solved. And another is Chinese version of Z1C doesn't have LTE support and since you flashed an international version of the ROM LTE might show up in the settings but there's a huge chance it will not work or possibly cause errors. Phones made for chinese market doesn't have google installed because google is blocked in their country. Just a FYI Never noticed your post so I didn't get to assist you before this but seems like you made the correct choice on solving your problem.

Once you get fully up and running, you'll LOL like the rest of us reading that. In this kind of situation you are kind of on your own because until you've tried you'll never know and most of the People reading wont advise you to do something that could potentially hard brick your Phone. You've done what I would have done which is grab an ftf and tried it, not much more you can do.
Same problem
Hi Mic,
I want to follow your example with my Chinese Z1 Compact. Are you still around, in case I have some questions? Have you tried to fix the other problems you mentioned? Any new comments? I am going to try to understand the procedure but I would feel better if I could pick your brain in case I get stuck.
cheers

Hey guys just need some help here.
Because of the release date is still due for germany i decided to buy the ZE551 ML online.
I ordered it at tinydeal.com. As it seems i now have an somewhat chinese Version where i cant even add an google account.
Also i have trouble installing Google-Playstore properly because it crashes all the time (as well as other Google apps, tried to figure out why but all online solutions didnt help)
A freind said this might happen because of no Google Account being registered.
What should i do in your opinion?
Best option is probably to flash it for some EU/NA Version right ?
then i should be able to add an google account and set up all the apps properly ?
Thank you for your help!

I accidentally bought the CN version myself
I read somewhere earlier this method should work to add gapps to the CN version. --> http://goo.gl/ea7bCv
Make sure and remove your previous PlayStore install before.
I didnt get mines yet, but if ur willing to try it, see if it helps!
If not then the pre-root img should do the trick --> http://goo.gl/7viYVt
In a quest to replace the Chinese ROM on my tablet with the Taiwanese/global one, I found this helpful thread. Yet the key A5FMB19_update.zip file was missing. Luckily, after some search I managed to find a copy in the internet, together with the original A5CNB19.
Here are the files (re-uploaded to MEGA):
A5FMB19_update.zip (Taiwanese/global; with Google Play Services, Google Play Store, language supports, etc.)
A5CNB19_update.zip (Chinese)
Both are tested and confirmed working on my Nokia N1.
Thank you.
Hi, i just used the ROM file, and upgraded my old N1. Everything was just fine.
Many, many thanks to you, online.id. My N1 had been 'bricked' for over a year. Now it works well.
All the best wishes!
Also would like to confirm that both ROMs are working for me. I was searching for a long time now after I bricked my N1.
Many thanks.
Hi, the urls are dead, could you pls post it again or is there anyone that has the access to the zip. My N1s bricked and I did nothing other than using it as a bookreader.
PLEASE, I need help...

Ciao guys,
I have a problem with this goddamn device: Huawei P30 Lite. It's about one week I'm trying to downgrade it 'cause there is the FRP situation (the owner has wiped data/cache and he forgot his e-mail and pw of his Google account). I tried EVERYTHING: dongle, keys, unlock softwares, downgrades but nothing to do. This particular device is from Singapore (Region code C636) and is called MAR-LX2. At the moment the only upgrade I can do is from the 9.1.0.310 to the 9.1.0.215 firmware.
Could you help me?
Love you guys, waiting for your help.
Best regards,
Enrico
