HOMTOM Mobile Phones

You can visit their support page to download most of their phones firmware.

In April 2018 HOMTOM introduced their master piece model the 6 inch phablet - HOMTOM HT70 Naugat ,MTK 6750T Octa Core powered ,with     4 Gb RAM and 64 Gb ROM.All this at a budget priced you can get it at a bargain of below  USD150 or even less. 
Too bad it doesnt come with Android Oreo. My personal preference is for phones with screen size of 6 inches to 7 inches (Lenovo Phab 2 comes to mind but it comes only with Marshmallow)
See my user experience on page later pages

HOM TOM HT70 6" 4/64GB Android Nougat

Instructions are given in PDF format that links to external sites (no ads) for suitable MTK drivers download and also copies of the apps that I used to successfully flash my phone. The "modified" firmware assembled from original Hom Tom source minus stock recovery and TWRP 3.11 inserted a modified boot loaders minus all the "**.verified" files that should remove additional unforseen problems that should arise during attempted flashing. P/S : you should be assured of a successful flash if your PC recognised the phone in fast adb mode.  

  


Note : Antutu  CPU Benchmark score for MT6750T are very poor compared to QualComm MSM 8996 or Exynos 8890, they average below 50% of those QualComm and Exynos.
