So I recently bought the m99 from fastcardtech, and rooted it easily with SuperOneClick. I am unable however to install ClockworkMod in any way or form on the device. It identifies itself as a G2x in the model, uses a MTK 6573 processor.
Anyone else have this phone and figure out a way, I'm completely lost and have search for a good week now trying to figure out a way to get ClockWorkMod on this thing.
(also I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, since there is no forum for my phone model).

Hello
You have the M99 with Ui iphone?
Did you have the room original? Was nice we get this room available, before try the OC and new rooms.
Any bugs find yet?
Thanks
help me too.. is this a bug?
Did you have the market worked on your phone?
My version is 2.3.6 from android, but the markets i install open, then when i try to download some app they market (process com.vending.android) has stopped unexpectedly
You have this problem to?
Guys ..
To root this phone you have 2 options :
1- SuperOneClick 2.3.3
2- The Chinese root
both are listed at a thread called (Gooapple v5 issues) on this fourm . you also need to install the the drivers for this phone which btw are the same drivers for the GooApple v5 , cuz both phones use the MTK6573 .
for the market problem .. try to install an older market ver.
now I have the phone , but unfortunately things went south couple days ago when i installed some fonts from the android market and forgot to change the permissions . the phone now is stuck at start up logo ,, i tried the wipe and restore to factory options but nothing worked .. the only way i can get it to work is to flash it with the original rom again .i've contacted Fastcardtech to get the update.zip rom for the M99 Google 4s+ , but i haven't heard from them .
so if you have the update.zip rom for M99 Google 4s+ please post a link so i can download it ..
Thanks
Thanks for reply!

i truly appreciate you trying to help
i'm looking for both now (rom and a reliable recovery) that can actually work on our phones
i've been looking through the chinese forums in the last couple days , but still no luck .. the problem is the name M99 dosn't exist in thier forums they only have the old ver M98 .. so our phone must have a different name other than M99 ...
i can't really remember which market ver worked , i've tried alot of versions but i'm sure the one that worked was one of the old vers . i wish my phone was working so i can help ya there .
yes i got it from fastcardtech and it has the 2.3.6 with UI rom .
i'll keep looking and i will let you know .
Thanks
Did you try the cyanongean??
How can i help you with the rom??
Did you try root your phone and install any rom?
If you know how can i do to save this rom and send to you it's ok i try.
For the market i used other one apdroid i guess the name and works
How do you enter on recovery wipe?? What you install to get the phone stuck!?
Thanks

Hi guys, I am from the thread "Gooapple v5 issues" I could maybe help you as it is almost the same device.
@IIIVIII What happened to your phone?
Great News ..
i finally gained access to my phone's root while looping through Android Commander and i've managed to reset the permissions to the fonts and now the phone is alive and kicking
@ von275 & Mouratti .. Thank you guys for offering to help i really appreciate it .
here's how to get any Androidmarket ver working on the M99 :
1- root your phone.
2- install root explorer (attached)
3- copy the attached file (Vending) to your phone's root (system/app) and make sure u set the permissions as follows:
Owner: Read /Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
To make Google sync work for contacts do the same as the above steps for these attached files :
1-GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
2-GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
btw. with root explorer you can remove all the unwanted chinese apps like youku etc. from your root (system/app) just don't go wild ..
i'll be coming back later on with more tweaks ..

great my friend ..
i'm experimenting different kind of recovery systems . i'm trying to find the perfect one for the M99 so we can flash custom roms .. unfortunatly the chinese recovery that works on the Gooapple/Goophone dosn't work on our phone .. but i'll keep trying .
for the official rom i'm still waiting for Fastcardtech to provide the update.zip .. once i have it i will upload it to mediafire and i'll post a link here for everyone to download .

I speak with fastcrdtech, and they say: We don't have rom
So you have the rom that came with your phone right?
I get the calendar working, but i can't get a sound reminder you can get on your m99?

I didn't try, im noob in this, and im afraid stuck my device.
Which room is it?
@von275
the stock recovery on the M99 only allows the official M99 update.zip rom to be installed .. it won't allow the gooapple nor any other rom to be installed trust me i've tried .. besides the M99 has 2 sims and a different screen so i really doubt that it would work even if we try it with a recovery that allows custom roms ...
@Mouratti
i don't have the official rom yet we should all e-mail Fastcardtech and ask them to provide the official rom for us to download .. sooner or later somthing will go wrong with our android sys and we will need to flash the official rom again .
regarding the calender .. i will look into it when i get home hopefully there's a simple fix for it .
hello ! after a week of testing ive finally found a solution for samsung galaxy s4 clone ( mt6572 gt-i9500 ). with no service !
Soo , you have no service and can't make calls ! follow this instructions and you will be talking on your phone in no time
Its very simple : ( i'll add the necessary links / software for this job )
1. you need SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150
2. you need the WORKING ROM ! modified by me
3. you need MtkDroidTools
( this version is allready modified to work with mt6572 )
The procedure :
we must first format the phone using SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1316.0.150 . soo we open the program and select the scatter file.txt atached in the rom . hit format and then hit OK.
Now remove the battery and connect the usb cable to the phone. it will start formatting the phone. wait till is ready ( you will see a green circle )
At this point , the phone is ready to receive the new ROM
you have allready selected the scatter file early'r .
THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT !!! uncheck the CACHE and USRDATA at the bottom.
Now hit Download button , you will get a warning message, just press YES
Now put the baterry back into the phone, and connect the usb cable. wait till the process end's and when you see the green circle you can disconect the phone, remove the battery, insert back the battery and power on the phone , and voila !! your phone have working network !!
Next step is to write the IMEI...
Use MtkDroidTools ( you must have debugging mode on in the phone ) connect the phone to the usb cable, wait till MtkDroidTools see your phone , and then hit the big imei button. There you must provide the imei number ( you can find it under the battery ) after that you hit write imei and then reset your phone and you are good to go
I presume that you allready have the usb drivers ( if not, i can also provide them )
For other questions use the forum below
If i have saved your day, maybe you consider making a small donation ( for that, use the DONATE TO ME button under my name )
Have a nice day !
Thanks for this tut, @pacattosul its very easy to follow, unlike some I've come accross, could I ask this?, will this not work by just using Mtkdroid tools as in the latter part of your tutorial? without the need of flashing a new rom?
Also I hope you dont mind a bit of constructive criticism, the developer of Mtkdroid tools @rua1 has specifically asked that his program is not placed on other sites for download, perhaps you could just change your post to link to his thread, here..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490 Plus I do feel you are rather inviting problems by not specifying the details and build of your device that you have tested this method on, I don't have this phone but I'm sure there are quite a few different versions out there and the result of flashing the wrong preloader for your device can be a $200 paperweight, as I'm sure you know, and with that in mind I would stress that before embarking on this, a full backup is desirable in case it all goes t*ts up. Hope you don't mind my mentioning this stuff, if you decide to make those few minor changes, I'll edit and delete this paragraph, don't want to spoil your thread.
hello oscarblue48 !
i really don't mind that you point my mistakes... im actually happy cause as you say, MTKtools its somebody's work and should really be apreciated. BUT, this tutorial only work's with this special version of MTKtools !! i'm not responsable if you use any other tools/versions !!
you say that people may broke 200$ phone if they flash this rom... ok it may happend, but only if they mistake the model-version of the phone ! like ive say'd this tutorial and the rom only goes for MT6572 GT-I9500 SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 CLONE !! if they flash this rom on other devices they are responsible for what they do...
Actually , this rom goes for dead phones as well ( as i mentioned on other site ) , so i supose that most of the people , when they reach this tutorial, its for a good known reason
You also ask me if you can only use the mtktools... well you can easylly use that program, but you will probably not change anything inside that phone. most of the people try'd mtktool and complain that the imei remains null or empty after writing with this tool... soo in order to fix the annoyng NO SERVICE problem, i recommend that you follow the entire tutorial
I hope ive answered all your questions, and offcourse if you encounter any problem you can allways comeback and simply ask
Hi bro help me out here is my thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50483872
I tried your rom but still not working i can enter to recovery mode with different preloader and doesn't show me black screen when turned on as my big problem is i can not format my nand as you will see in my thread i was messing up with boot logo via root as it was rooted with supersu...so any help please as i have tried alot roms and i can't find stock rom for this phone MTK6572_S00 samsung s4 this is made in korea by samsung...and I do not have backup of my rom...
Thanks in advance
Please help
Always getting - 4032(DRAM FAILED) while downloading- Followed same steps !
Appreciate any help
Update:
I have flashed it successfully - Also the IMEI, but still not registering to network.
be aware !! you have the dual sim ( 2 sim ) phone or single sim?? this only works for single sim phone... also, you must not try to flash this on dual sim phone !!
try this... go to settings and at the network tab change the connection mode... chose hspda preffered... that may do the trick !

Well my antivirus detected their .exe as trojan, when I asked them about it, they said it is because software use encryption.
The TIM (Europe IT/Italy) firmware K350n10e_00_0217.kdz for k350n is a little faulty. Once its flashed and phone is set up (google account and lg stuff) the home screen is not working (flashing or just blank) but if you have a backup (in lg backup) of your former homescreen and you can get into settings then you can restore your earlier homescreen and everything will be just fine.
Keep in mind that it's the febr.01. security patch so it can't be rooted. However the bloatware and the useless apps can be removed (with a lot of patience - it takes like an hour or so).

As its in the title... stock. MM6.0. Basically there is no difference in these roms but the boot animation in some cases and some custom apps. Maybe the newer builds contain some fixes in the firmware but im not sure. However i tend to use the newest one always.

For "such noob" as you are i suggest to read the threads so you may have some knowledge of what you are about to do just as most of us does. Thats why there are the threads separeted for each step very well described so we dont need to tell everyone what to do... if you have some questions after reading the related threads you can ask me in pm and ill gladly answer.

The bootloader can't be unlock at the moment. Asus is known for giving the tools to unlock the bootloader. So its matter of time to have the tools to unlock it.
Asus just released the unlock tool for the ZenFone 3 so the tool for the Deluxe can't be far off. Maybe this tool will work for the Deluxe??

Hey there I posted this under "rooted":
Hey, just went onto ASUS global & US website and saw that there is an unlock bootloader utility for the ZS550KL (updated 11-Nov-2016) but not one for the ZS570KL. Does this matter, since both phones are "Deluxe"? If not, any assistance to unlock bootloader and root the ZS570KL. Thanks!

Fairly new to rooting phones and this question is due to my inexperience, but if the phones are both considered "Zenfone 3 Deluxe" what does the size have to do with it? Thanks for explaining.

well according to the this link here ... https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (This is for 5.7 and there is no show of bootloader)
however this link here https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (shows a bootloader unlock for the 5.5 version)
We need developers to jump on this darn phone and get it going somehow, if there is anyway possible to get their attention on it. I was able to tweak my phone a bit more with the startup manger (free) from google play to get more ram space.

5.5 has SD820 cpu, 5.7 has SD821... Would you try and use the other, untried method of unlocking if it may destroy your expensive little toy?

This is untrue. The 5.5 has the SD625, and the 64GB 5.7 has the SD820 and the 256GB 5.7" Special Edition has the SD821.
While it could be possible that a bootloader unlock tool for the SD820 could be used on the SD821 (but maybe not) because the architecture is essentially the same, an unlock tool for the SD625 most certainly would not be as it is a completely different processor.
I know we seen this answer before, but this is what i got from them.... https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120584-1-1.html
I emailed Asus support and got this as a response:
Me: "When can the bootloader unlock utility be expected to be released?"
Them: "Unfortunately ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty. But we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development."
Edit: I prodded them further and received this in response:
"I have transferred your wish to our Product department, but temporary the accurate time the unlock tool for this Zenfone 3 Deluxe model would be released couldn't be ensured."
Which I believe means: 'We can't give an official release time yet.'
There is a "petition" in Asus 's Taiwan forum requesting an official bootloader unlocked tool and the thread is marked "under active review" by representative of Asus. No ETA is given though and the thread is in Chinese. If you are also interested and want to give it a little more push you could leave English message there.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. I did not even consider looking at the specs (chipset) to see if there was a difference between the 2 models. I just thought they were the same phone just size of screen difference and/or less storage. Forgot they also release a 820 model.
At least you can get to the heart of the menu of the recovery, just can't do much there either. Thanks to a lucky source right here.... been trying find out how to do this...
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120913-1-1.html
1.) Turn off phone completely
2.) press power button and volume down at same time and hold it untill you see an android logo with an "!" with the android logo that says "no command". when you see the logo release all buttons.
3.) Now, press and hold power button first and then quickly press volume Up. You will then see the options including wipe cache.

Was it necessary to post the same in 2 threads?
Anyhow, check my original thread for rooting again. I included ZS550KL Nougat rooted boot images.
Test & share your feedback in the original rooting thread.
