Good morning Forum.

This is my first venture into the world of Android Phone, 3 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it so far.

I have somewhat obscure Chinese phone I got 2 years ago from "Mad-Bid" for £50, that is labeled up as.. NTech (--w.ntech.pt). It is a 1GB/8GB Android 4.2.2 model.

Hardware : MT6582
Model : Magnus_SX5QC
Build number : ALPS.JB5.MP.V1.5
Build date UTC : 20141008-020417
Android  v : 4.2.2
Baseband v: TL.MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V10.P2, 2013/12/26 10:11
Kernel v : 3.4.5 (linux-server@linux-server-desktop) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP  Wed Oct 8 09:59:47 CST 2014


I never used the phone as the speaker volume was rubbish, so so it went in the drawer till now, when I decided to use it as practice before messing around with my new tablet.

After reading/watching a web tutorial/video "How to unlock/root any Chinese phone" (not the proper Hovatek [Tutorial] which I found later on, and this forum), I proceeded to do just that. So cut a long story short, my battery didn't have enough power so things didn't go according to plan.

But last week I got it sort of  working and now I am quite happy flashing rooting it etc with MKDroid & SPFlash tools. It not without its problems though, the main 2 being the Hard Buttons & Reboot from recovery or app.

Hard Button Problem

Start normal doesn't work and requires hold Vol- then press Power. (I think that should be download mode).

Hold Vol+ before connecting USB for META doesn't work, as does META for any connection to MAUI META etc. IMEI, WiFi S/N etc changes.

Start Recover works normal hold Vol+ then Power. But reboot from CWM stops at a blank screen. It can be continued by holding Vol-, Vol+ seems to take you into "Safe Mode" although I cant be quite sure as both seem to depend on how long or often you press/hold the button(s).

Physically the buttons work normal after full boot. Volume & Lock are normal.

In non-root recovery (Vol+ & Pwr) the Vol +/- move up down the menu and the Pwr selects normally. In rooted "CWM" Vol- moves down the menu and Vol+ selects. Also the screen is upside down.

Soft Reboot 

Using a boot manager app (rooted) full reboot shuts down then just hangs. The other features on the app seem to work OK.

As mentioned rebooting out of recovery does the same.

My first thought are that during my initial messing around I've managed to code the buttons wrong (if that's possible).


On final thing to add to the story is although I've been unable to source a Manufacturers ROM, I eventually got hold of a version from a site in India, I cant remember what site but its available If anyone needs it.

Hopefully attached should be the scatters of both.

Thanks in advance
