A friend of mine asked whether I was able to change the OS or make use of a phone he bought which turned out to be fake. I don't really know what to say about it but it's a Lenovo S660P (It's Chinese apparently).

Do fake phones have any use? |

It doesn't have much, if any, developer support. Plus, the cheap skin is a deterrent - it's pretty much useless.

I don't have any knowledge around android phones and switching ROMS/Kernels etc, I've rooted before and didn't see much rather than more options. I have tried looking around about how but none of them are usually clear and require to download some pretty shady stuff. on XDADev for some reason I'm never able to find what I'm looking for. If anyone can point to me how I would be able to up the KK version on this that would be much appreciated. 🤝 The "update" on this phone isn't doing jack shit, is there another approach to update the current KitKat version on this phone? |
