ALPS i12 MAX clone
ALPS i12 MAX clone
(11-10-2021, 11:22 AM)mornebuzz Cool looking new site. It'll take a while to find things again. Not sure I'm posting in the right place though.
I ordered what I assume is an iPhone clone, the i12 Max from Aliexpress. 6GB ram, 128Gb storage, Android 10 etc etc. Turns out to be an ALPS i12, W116 , MT6572, Android 4.4.2 based device not even able to run some current Play store apps. I foolishly tried another ROM with similar specs without doing a backup of the original ROM and failed well and truly. Somehow there doesnt seem to be replacement roms on the net for the Max, only the Max Pro. Where would I get a rom to fix my stupidity or how would I search for an exact matching alternative, preferably with upgraded Android version. I dont even know what this phone would be a clone of, ie Tecno, Infinix etc. Clearly specs are not what they claim. A device info app only found 512mb ram and I think it was 8GB Rom. Another app was sure it was 128GB Rom though. Thank you for any assistance.

I see there have been many post reads. Is there perhaps someone in the group with a similar situation, but fortunately made a ROM backup?
I see many ROMS for the i12 MAX Pro but none for the MAX. Is there a way, a program, that can read the internals so that I know what I'm working with and could look for alternative equivalents? There seem to be various clones based on the same motherboard, perhaps there's another using the same specs. I just need to establish what I'm working with. Is there a way of figuring out what exactly it is a clone of, How would I find the exact memory on the board without heating and desoldering shields etc. I tend to break things more then.
