It could be, but Android Sale prices are really high, and look what happened to mayiandjay with his V5 3G...

The only thing i care is that i will in some way manage to get the official V5 3G ROM working on the phone i will get. Otherwise i'll probably return it.

Anyway it's probably too soon to speak; i still didn't get the device. :)

Is there a way to open an IMG file?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Yes, the easy way being this:

1. Backup your current rom.

2. Install the rom that contains the img you need

3. Copy/paste what you need with RootExplorer to your SD Card.

4. Reboot to recovery and reflash your backup from step 1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:
So I loaded up a rom, and made sure that the tts worked. Copied the apk as well as the odex file. reloaded my rom, but they wont install. Tried to put into the app folder.. rebooted (made sure the security was correct) but still wont install.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

root gooapple v5 3g

hi,i'm from italy and i bought a gooapple v5 3g from lovebargaining.com.

I removed the back cover and i saw that the structure is identical to the one mayiandjay's gooapple v5 3g. So i think it is the real gooapple v5 3g.

the problem is that i can't root the phone with superoneclick program, maybe because the android version of my phone is 5.0.2(8C158) and not 2.3.6.

if someone could help me i'll be very grateful.

Thanks

I really need your help guys!

- Starting my 'GooApple V5 3G' with the Power and PLUS-button makes my phone freeze at the GooApple-logo (and I have to "hard reset").

- I urgently need to find out out if this is hardware or software-related, so that I can return my phone in the case it is hardware-related.

- So please tell me... What can I try to get the Power and PLUS-button to work?

Yeah, i heard that (at least) on the shipment side they are good. It looks like they use some good shipment service.

Looks like i will have to wait like a month or so (since i placed the order on lovebargaining) to get my V5 3G, as i chose the cheapest shipment possible. The point is, i saved a lot of money over Android Sale (something like 45 - 50 dollars).

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

I just saw this lizi-Y4 phone at android-sale website, and from what I read, it appears that this lizi-y4 is exactly the same with gooapple V5 3G except the battery. Other website reported that you can exchange the lizi-y4's batter for the real iphone 4's battery.

it makes me think that it is possible to exchange the gooapple V5 3g's battery for the iphone 4's battery.

Also, for those who are thinking of ordering gooapple V5 3g, they might perhaps be thinking of getting the lizi-y4, provided that it can be rooted (I assume coz of its exact specs as the gooapple V5)

BTW, these two phones are produced by the same company.

Any opinions?

Hi again everyone

Must say my goophone is working well, and with the new rom quite easy to use too.

But I have to ask has anyone got the FM Transmitter to work? Its in the setup and looks like it does just that transmits to a FM radio. I can not seem to get any information on it, or can I get it working.

Wow, When I plug the earphones in a message comes up and says please remove earphones and wont let you switch the transmitter on.

I'm not sure how it is meant to work but I assume that, you pick a frequencies (FM) and it transmits it to the nearest FM radio :rolleyes: Maybe, Does it need an aerial?

Yoy can't root it bacause itsn't original gooapple!! they aren't good shop and don't do post- assistance.... stay away!!!

To root this device you must copy adb file(only it) from android sdk in root-rec then root but when you install new roms they don't work!! ATTENTION!!! I finally restore my device but i study solution for 1 day!! V4 rom was the only rom that work and tahks to mcsga for great job!!! Now thank to m5d file of v4 rom i restore my old and working rom

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Now i would try to "cook" my rom. I see the v4 rom work perfectly but in my device have 3 bug:

1- power button shut down completely the device.. then it vibrate but screen is black (restore in pinhole)

2-"+" button don't work

3- no sond,, no music...

So i ask you? Where are drivers for device?

boot

cache

data

recovery

system

If i put only system file of v4 rom in my rom folder, can run v4 rom with drivers for my device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
1. First things first, it's anexonel's original job; he builted the rom from scratch (with some previous work of me, mayiandjay and others, being there too). I've just added stuff to it and removed the ''problematic'' for my device apks.

2. The drivers are located into the kernel (this should be in system). A kernel for your specific device (I'm not sure what it truly is, I'm a bit confused with all the models out there that look JUST like an iPhone4/s) should be taken from a working original image.

Concluding:

- If I had to start from somewhere, an original image should be it.

- I'd root it with z4root/Superoneclick/whatever...

- I'd install RootUninstaller and remove EVERYTHING I don't want to

- I'd install a signed google update pack found in places like xda-developers

- I'd backup IN EVERY STEP!

- I'd test

- I'd test some more...

- I'd test some more

.

.

.

- I'd still test!

- When I've noticed that every app I've loaded didn't force close on my face and every piece of crap works ok...

- I'd release it.

Good Luck! (really!)

goapple flash problems

Hello Devlopers,

I bought some time ago a Gooapple V5. There were some issues, for example the call button has a Chinese sign, which was not that good.

Then I saw this link on youtube and thought this would be a nice solution:

This Video was on youtube watch?v=JKKYmy1W-OU&feature=related

I build in my sd card with the new Rom. But by pressing "+" with the power button

no recovery modes starts. Just the usual Android skin with colors.

So I read in the comments of this video, to do this:

Use the ROOT-REC software (watch? V = hwTbkLvPgzk)

So I did this and ther was a new app about users. So I restarted the handy, to put on the new Rom over recovery mode, but now it doesn't turn on anymore.

No matter how often or how long I press power button, nothin happens.

Even the combination of + and power button doesn't work. (hasn't worked before also).

Can someone help me? I work at the It support, but have no ideas of cell phones.

Is there any way to put on a new OS remotely?

Some details about my goaaple v5:

-no 3g

-has ios and android mode (switching by holding - or +)

Luckily I saved my numbers before...

Greets,

Jones
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Looks like you've installed the wrong/incompatible rom for your device, or you brought it along an erroneous update state (phone "stucked").

Try the following:

1. Put it on power cord.

2. Hard reset (press deep into the headphone jack with the supplied minisim pin, there's a reset button inside), then retry.

Good luck...

I just shipped my phone back to lovebargaining.com. I made a paypal dispute and I was in favour. Im going to order a v5 from android sale this time. Oh what a lesson learned.... if only I knew about this forum earlier.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
I recommend www.androidmobilepad.com (the new rofen) as they are cheaper and are also official retailed dealers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El Jefe del Caribe:
After filing my PayPal claim, I got an immediate correspondence from lovebargaining.

The first was to say it's a real Gooapple V5 3G. I debated that with pictures.

The next was calling me a liar. Said all the Gooapple phones were the same. I told him I had an impossible time adding ROMs and rooting it, and owners of real phones didn't.

The next was complaining about lies and rumors from other vendors. I told him he needed to take the problems up with Gooapple.

The last, with the shipping address, admitted they have problems with their ROMs.

I doubt PayPal will credit my account until the phone is returned.

We'll see.

But looking at the andropidmobilepad site, their version of the V5 3G has many more features and options than the lovebargaining phone does. Anyone care to offer an explanation as to why?

Does Gooapple sell different versions of what looks like the same phone, or are their fakes being made and sold?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jonesjones:
Thanks a lot

@macsga

thanks a lot for the fast reply, it worked well.

All my numbers and apps are still there, great!

But I still want to do the update (mainly to remove the Chinese sign and change it to call). Because it looks not good, when someone enters a number at the cell phone.

But by holding + and the power button, only Android starts as usual (first you can see android robot/logo in white, than the android robot/logo gets colored and then there stands android).

What do I need to do? It has Android Version 2.3.4 and the gooapple v5 has no 3g.

Do you need any more details about the cell phone?

Greets from Munich,

Jones
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I'm pretty sure that you don't do it properly. Follow this process:

1. Shut down the phone (press power button for 4", then slide to the right).

2. Press and hold (+) button for at least 1"

3. Keeping (+) button pressed, now press the power button and start counting 4".

4. Keeping (+) button pressed, release the power button.

You should see the recovery menu.

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noobkidd:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jonesjones:
@macsga

Alright I tried this now out for many many times. But it won't start recovery mode.

Do I need to do something specific before? Let me guess, I have to do this again before:

Use the ROOT-REC software (watch? V = hwTbkLvPgzk)

The Sd card has its problems (sometimes recognised, sometimes not), shall I change it for this?

Also I have no Super User folder for the new Rom on my sd card. is this required?

I just put the new Rom somewhere...
