The brochure said, user can UPGRADE software into Android 4.1.2 Jellybean by visiting Zyrex Service Center. Can you Imagine ? How funny in today Interner time a customer must visit vendor service center just for Upgrading Software, in which most vendor provide OTA FIRMWARE UPDATE. Brand New Phone sold at IDR 1,999,000.- or equivalent to USD 207 without any contract with any Carrier in Indonesia. Most of Smart Phone device sold in Indonesia are CARRIER UNLOCKED
    Upon using the phone for couple of weeks without any complaining, root the phone, triggered by curiosity, I browsing internet to find any information the availability of Jelly Bean Rom for this funky device. Guess ..... NOTHING FOUND, :D . Just an idea, MT6577 base is very famous devices, sold by various vendor, but they relay on one Hardware Vendor Mediatek . I personally sure, these various brand of smart phone having identical HARDWARE, what I need to ensure is :
  • Hardware Model Version : i.e MT6577
  • RAM Volume Installed
  • Quanity of Hardware Button
  • What we need to worry about
    1. Wifi Chipset Brand and Model
    2. BlueTooth Chipset and Model
    3. Baseband Version
    4. RIL ......
    5. Screen Brand and Model
    By knowing all above about, I quiet sure we can EXCHANGED ROM from one brand to other brand devices.
