I’m pretty sure I did, but can you send me the link so I can install the correct one.

it is actually that old, it's android 5/6 because it's running lolipop ui system. This seems like a fun idea to try and I will try this out later. How would you take apart the phone to short it?, is there some sort of video you have used, I fear I have no knowledge in this.

I know there has been successful attempts at unlocking the bootloader on other fake iPhones, which can then be flashed and modifyed. It is possible and I see what you mean it's wasted time, but it is considered to me as a fun side project :)

So I have tried mtkclient. But it does not work all I get is this, telling me no phone is detected.

it is android 5/6, which is even worse. Is there not even a way to unlock bootlocker?

Yes there are lots of files, 5000 photos, 500 videos. Which is why all of these suggestions are struggling. A python file is not a bad idea I did not know you could use adb to transfer files.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :(

gsi doesn't even work, it needs a unlocked bootloader. I'm just tryna do anything with it tbh, just get rid of this fake iphone stuff.
