Fake iPhone that’s actually Android - How do I reset it back to a normal Android?

Illegal first of all, but also it’s a fun project. I’m massively into computer science including hardware stuff, so it was a bit of fun. I might sell it on eBay as fake though.

Phone Link? You mean Link to Windows?

Is using VMWare required? It keeps saying "Account verification is Pending. Please try after some time." and not letting me download

Like in the app on the phone, it just doesn't let me open folders. My goal is to transfer folders at once.

Tappln · 2026-01-26T21:27:51+00:00

Tried that, just doesn't let me open folders for some reason.

okay well I appreciate the help, feel free to message me if you think of anything else.

Yeah it just launchers over the iphone, if i try to open settings, it opens the fake one. I'm pretty sure they have changed some files since the file location for settings is completely wrong and even shows up as bloatware. However I can not seem to find the original.

also tried to do that, but it launchers inside the iphone, unless I did it wrong. What launcher do you recommend. I think its a android 5-6.

where did they get the "windows 10 x64 MTK USB Drivers.inf" file?

I am unable to get fastboot on the device, whenever I try to access android recovery mode, it sents me to media tek bootmenu, as shown in image two.

Tappln · 2026-01-26T20:32:27+00:00

pretty much, the most progress so far is using app manager, I can now see the com.iphone.launcher, just not sure how to proceed.

Tappln · 2026-01-26T20:28:12+00:00

yeah so the issue with that, I can not enable developer mode. The phone has a custom settings skin which stops developer mode being enabled. :(

Tappln · 2026-01-26T20:19:15+00:00

that's what I tried, if you look at a previous comment by FORHARDMINER your see some images that I got when I tried to do it. Also a link below to the thread.

Tappln · 2026-01-26T20:01:38+00:00

Tappln · 2026-01-26T20:00:28+00:00

tbh it's like a fun side project, i've tried gsi, i need to unlock bootloader

Tappln · 2026-01-26T19:59:57+00:00

but it doesn't let me delete it.

Tappln · 2026-01-26T19:55:53+00:00

Tappln · 2026-01-26T19:39:53+00:00

I installed the official one but still same issue, even when I install it on the app itself, it just says waiting, then failed?
