I hope someone here could.
If it is a clone, then it is not really a Note3 and none of the stuff here will work on it since it does not really have a Samsung system on it.
Hardware will be totally different, software will be totally different. You could try a few ROMS, but I'd guarantee nothing would work.. Have a nose around Google, you can usually find software for clone/copy phones.

Hello,
I recently bought this pda that generally is called “HTC Touch Clone”, “DX Touch”, “Dopod S1”, so I really don’t know its name. Since I bought it I have been following this forum and I already found several stuff here, especially software that I now use every day.
This is a ready good phone and I really happy with it (taking into account the price that is really low compared to similar phones here in Portugal) and my only problem with this phone is the network reception that is really crappy. I was told that updating the radio this problem could be solved, so my question is does anyone who owns this phone was able to somehow update the ROM of this phone?
If so, how did you do it? Which ROM did you used?
Many Thanks in advance,
Nando666
you cant flash ANY roms here.
Clones is not supported and you may end up with a dead phone after flashing.
Im very sorry but this is how it works.
It should be possible
It is possible, since they provide one image in their forum.
Does anyone with this phone tried a ROM upgrade?
Its risky.
If you think you want to give a shot.
I have no say.
Cheers.
I know it is risky. That is why I am looking for someone with this phone that can share his experiences.
Someone?
You are not likely to find anyone here with an Elf Clone, folks at this site deal with the genuine HTC phones, not with clones.
Therefore no-one here is going to be willing to make any statements about the clones.

I have seen several posts of people that have a clone in this forum.

I have washed out my last REAL HTC touch so i bought one from china 60% off. Its came with a lot of problems. I will try flash (burn) a new ROM soon. I tell if a get something.
My understanding is, you cannot flash any ROM that is designed to work on an authentic HTC to a clone. Doing so will ultimately brick your phone, quite a few people tried with the same result.

Yes, Agreed.
MORAL: dont flash, unless you a ready for the support line.
Greetings!
I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (2012).
Thanks and more power!
Are you sure that this is related to app development? Can this be changed with an app?

Not 100% sure, but like I said I am really praying and hoping it is. Maybe somebody could think of a workaround or if it's really impossible then at least they'd inform me why.
Thank you so much for the link.

You might need another firmware for the gmate+.
Or someone has to rewrite the Android app.
But to me it seems as if it it needed another firmware.

This is what I'm hoping somebody here could.
The manufacturer's site is up and it has details about the product as well, so the developer could know better about it. I have also found similar gadgets online. They are mostly products that are manufactured in China and have outdated softwares.

I feel your frustration but in the same time, it's funny to see you put a blame on the G2 instead of the custom ROM or even yourself. Seriously.
You said it was NORMAL, didn't you. It only happens after you "play" around with it. Don't you have anything in your mind such reverse back to stock?

First off, sorry you're having problems with your phone, but it might not be going into deep sleep. You could try BetterBatteryStats or CPUSpy to see if you could alleviate the problem. Good luck.

Did you say this? "it`s normal but i installed new firmware ... "
Did you say this? "buy those sh** phone and not bought nexus 5"
You buy a Rolex, rip it apart, put something else in, then it doesn't function well. You say the Rolex is a piece of junk?
You buy a BMW, rip it apart, add some mod. and it looses power. You claim the BMW is a shyt?
You buy a MAC, put Windows OS in, ehhhhhhhhh. The MAC sucks????
Use some thinking before doing anything to your device.
As for your case, I advice you
1. Call your provider or LG, tell them that the G2 sucks 'cuz you flash new firmware and it wouldn't work the way you expect. Demand their apology. See what they tell you.
2. Throw away your LG, and buy the Nexus 5 and be happy with it.
Mike already gave you some suggestion, I hope others will too.

OK you,
0. Don`t act like super genius person and don`t act like u`r boss
1. "Did you say this? "buy those sh** phone and not bought nexus 5"" <-- Yes i said like it
2. "Did you say this? "it`s normal but i installed new firmware ... "" <-- no i said that "ye while root it`s normal" and reseted firmware for unroot
and you think that i`m always like that way? noo man u are totally wrong... i installed new firmware cuz of those battery drain and root (actually same version as i had but just re flashed, but u can think its new firmware)
ohmm Nexus 5 is by LG by the way xD xD
oh and about carrier contact xD i bought from reseller in my country so...
idk what u mean in suggestion for Mike but at last he helped me, he suggested a apps that can help me he`s not like u. Oh ye and i actually was (and im now) nervious cuz it? why not? its a simple problem? nooo
and last thing: i`m not going to "fight" with u in my thread so its my last words, if u have to tell something more to me. PM me

No one fights with you.
I just take a little time to educate you a bit so next time, instead of say "this one sucks and should have bought the others", just saying "i have done some stupid things and now it won't work, please help" or "what's wrong with my device since it drains so much, can someone please give me some advice".
That will make your life better, not only in this sub-forum of G2 but every other aspect in life. Nobody wants to hear you put a blame on something that wasn't there in the beginning.
Have you ever searched and see how many people get great battery life on stock ROM?
Have you ever wonder why only a few come to your thread and help?
Anyway, that was just my advice to you, take it or leave it.
Kids who blame the device because they can't use it.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
if you wanna keep everything the same as before, you shouldn't flash any customized roms, only the stock rom is the most stable one.
Hello XDA,
I was in a bind with a broke phone and had to purchase this one. Unfortunately I am thinking that this was not a good idea as with this phone I can't seem to get it on a network higher than Edge. No 3G or LTE.
Does anyone know if the 5006 is different with the hardware or should I just try an custom ROM?
Any help is appreciated as I can't seem to find anything on the 5006 model of the Note 3

Sorry i missread your post for the N9006 initialy, try to get your money back from the shop if they sold it to you as a Note 3.
Hello,
A friend of mine bought a Galaxy Note 3 and it turned out to be fake, so he gave it to me! So I started using it and it always got lagy and annoying, I can't even use my sim on that because the sim reader identifies my sim card but it doesn't connect to the service! So what do you think I should do. I was thinking though about trying to root it to cyanogenmod and use it like a normal phone. But I have rooted a phone one time only and it got bricked. So I need your help with rooting it if you suggest I do. Again you might have better ideas than I do so I'm not going to do anything to it unless I see an interesting thing I can do with it.
Regards

This is the wrong forum- this is a Note 4 forum.
Also, as it's a fake Note 3, I imagine rooting etc wouldn't be as straight-forward as a real Note 3? I'm no expert but I imagine unless you can find someone else on this forum who has the exact same device as you, then perhaps you won't be able to root it etc? But I'm a noob and not particularly well versed in these matters, there may be a way around it but I imagine you'll need help from someone with physical access to the device.
If I was you- I'd return it, or sell if and recoup as much cash from it as you can and then buy a real Note 3 (as they're relatively cheap now but are still pretty powerful devices).
Good luck
