PLEASE HELP With New Version of the Qin F21, Different Hardware and ROM

i just rooted it succesfully :grinning_face:

what shoul i go about replacing aside from removing all the google apps they put on (yes this is a googled and it doean even have the stock 1.1.1 apps just google apps)

services.jar

framework.jar

anything else

So basically, if I understand this thread, different ROM, but you can still flash it. They didn’t remove the ability to flash it. What would it cost me to get one of these?

honestly if by tuesday (im leaving back to yeshiva then) i cant figure it out all yours for cost price and shipping around 130$

i can give you the seller but i got it for much cheaper since i bought 18……..

I want an unmodified one to play around with for my F21 project.

i have 16 in their packages unopened - i also have that many customers expecting phones next week…….

Who is the seller?

No idea I didn’t really look at system

Took a look at the new kernel?

No I didn’t take a look at anything yet on the new ROM.

Anything I wrote on the other thread useful?

Sorry, didn’t see your reply. Just replied there.

Easier to edit the new ROM.

Shirley Yu:
All the phone chips used are from the same batch and manufacturer, MTK. The batches produced in August and October by the phone solution provider are different. The current phones are all the MQ version, while previously they were PL. The August version was PL, and the October version is MQ. The link I sent you is for an upgrade package that can be changed back to the original version.

David Frydman:
the boot image and the dtbo are differnt also

the chip is still mt6761 but the parttion sizes have changed and therfore the old rom is incompatible


Shirley Yu:
But the functionality and quality are the same, which does not affect the normal use of the phone


David Frydman:
this phone isnt just an internal system upgrade it has a differnt chipset as confirmed when i used mtkclient to printgpt

Shirley Yu:
The chip hasn't changed; it's correct that the phone's solution provider has changed

Shirley Yu:
There is absolutely no change in the chip; I have repeatedly confirmed this issue with the factory

Shirley Yu:
Different batches of mobile phones may have internal system upgrades, just like Apple phones sometimes update their systems. If you don't perform a factory reset, the version issue will not have any impact

thay are saying they can send me files to revert it back to the old version - still waiting on that

I’m curious, because I saw many differences in the vendor partition that can’t be explained only by software (I think).

Did they?

Also, it’s not a different chipset, that’s probably what she meant.
