Clean KaiOS install without developper mode on non-KaiOS firmware

[Nos]

Hello Banana Hackers,

I recently bought a 8110, though it's not sure that I got a real one (chinese copy?)

I checked the IMEI and it says "8110", though not "Nokia 8110 4G" as I guess it should.

Anyway, while the ahrdware specs seem to match more or less, it's the firmware that I have no idea about. It shows nothing like standard KaiOS settings or welcome screen. I have tried many different stuff found on the internet and it didn't work so I'd like to try and do a clean install of KaiOS, hoping that it is possible. See details of what I have tried below:

- Nokia Suite:

* does not recognize the phone with a USB cable. I got the phone with a one-piece charger, ie I took one of my USB cable to try and connect. It does charge the phone but doesn't seem to do data transfer, so it doesn't appear.

* it sees the phone through Bluetooth but when trying to actually communicate with it I have a message that an unspecified error

- ADB

* does not find the phone whether through USB or Bluetooth

- Developper mode

* went through all the settings and did not find anything allowing this sort of access. Hard reset stuff (Up + Power) just does regular restart

- Reset to factory settings:

* Just reverts the language to chinese

-----

Anyway, so I was wondering if there was anyway I could force a KaiOS install through a SD card for example, but all tutorials I have seen require "Developper mode" or "Boot from SD" kind of options, that I don't have.

So I was wondering if any of you had an idea how to completely bypass whatever OS I have and force an install of KaiOS. I understand there's a risk of bricking my phone but I'm willing to take it seeing how annoying the current OS is.

Thanks

Hello :)

Can you take some screenshots or photos of it?

I just checked mine with imei.info and the site says it's "Nokia 8110 4G".

I feel like it is a copy not a real bananaphone.

Hello Farooq,

Thanks for your answer. I'll try to get some screenshots at some points but I'm pretty sure it is a fake one. 

Still, I was wondering if it was possible somehow to erase the current OS and replace it with a true KaiOS. I've seen there is many things that people managed to do (jailbreaking, sideloading apps, etc) so was wondering if anyone knew how I could do what I'm trying to do.

Cheers !
