Well known names
Well known names for phones that was produced by unknown (or almost known) Chinese manufacturers:
- "Cloned models" name widely used due to rough copies of famous brands was released
- "Chinese Miracle" name released several years ago by Infinity-Box

Dual-sim models (dual CPU, old design)
Based on two CPU at one PCB: has two CPU and two flash chip.
- MT6226 CPU (in most cases) for first (master) SIM-card, ordinary flash chip size is 16Mb
- MT6205 CPU (in most cases) for second (slave) SIM-card, ordinary flash chip size is 4Mb
Dual-sim models (mono CPU, new design)
Based on one CPU at PCB: has one flash chip with software that can serve both sim cards at a time.
- MT6225 CPU (in most cases) for first (master) and second (slave) sim cards.
Triple-sim models
Models with 3 (three) active sim cards available at market.
- one MT6225 CPU (in most cases) for all three sim cards.
NOR and NAND flash types
- Models based on MT6205...MT6227 contain firmware and calibration/user data in NOR flash chip (in some cases calibration/user data can be stored in additional NAND flash chip).
- Models based on MT6228...MT6230 contain firmware and calibration/user data in NAND flash chip.
Well known hardware/software problems and solutions
- Permanent "Flight mode"
- "White LCD" "Black LCD" "White screen" "Black screen"
- Phone can not power-on: in many cases it's a result of bad soldering quality, it is need to rehot or reabll CPU chip and flash chip
Cables/Pinouts (Rx/Tx/Gnd)
- What is Rx/Tx/Gnd
- Tested way to find Tx and Rx signal via pic
- Chinese Miracle pinouts
- Chinese Mobile codes and pinouts
- Chinese Miracle pinout software by Mobilewala
Many models (especially models with 5-pin system connector) do not have Rx/Tx contacts at phone system connector but Rx/Rx points marked at phone PCB, it is possible to solder Rx/Tx wires from cable directly to phone.
