The phone is a Star A3000 made in China, but i can't find their website, or the manufacturer, i have only an Android ROM downloaded from a forum, and from there I extracted the compiled kernel, and now I'm trying to find more info, but I don't know ho made this phone, my phone is Gigabyte Gsmart S1205 with the MT6516 processor, but runs WM6.5 and I want to make it run Linux or Android, I know that it wont be easy, but it keeps my mind occupied.

Does anybody know how to decompile a linux kernel zImage file, I need to extract some info about MT6516 processor from there. I successfully extracted the .config make file, but want to see other parameters too.

why don't you simply contact the manufacturer of the phone? Which exact vendor + model is that? As the Linux kernel is GPL licensed, they _have to_ release the source code to it.

It is not MTK who needs to release it, but the phone manufacturer.
