as I have promised here is are the first 3 custom ROMs for the gogear connect 3 8gb. if there is interest i will work on a few ROMs for the 16gb version also.

The way of installing roms on this device is a little different than most people are used to so i have included instructions

(with pictures this time!) but because of this way to do it it also makes this device almost brick proof and easy to fix.

before we start make sure your battery is at least charged 50%

THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA EVEN THE STUFF ON THE "SD CARD"

In this guide i will be using the AndroidGeneric Rom for the example.

be sure to look in the rom package to see if i have given any extra instructions for the specific rom

1. Download the MfgTool Package at the bottom of this post. also download the rom package you wish to install.

2. extract the MfgTool Package somewhere onto your computer

3. extract the rom Package somewhere on your computer also.

4. now take the actual rom folder (in this case the AndroidGeneric folder) and put it into the profiles folder in MFG tool folder

5. Turn off your MP3 Player Compleatly

6. now with your player still turned off hold Volume Up and plug it into your computer.

7. dont let go of Volume Up untill a new device named SE Blank ELVIS shows up on your computer

8. install the driver located in the Drivers folder inside the MfgTools Folder (the driver isnt signed so you have to click a popup allowing it to install, x64 users may need to turn off driver signing to get this to work)

9. After Thats Done open MfgTool.exe

10. once Mfg tool is open click on the Options drop down menu from the menu bar and click Configuration

11. in the window that pops up Select the USB Ports tab. then scroll down the menu untill you find "Freescale i.MX51 USB BulkIO Device" and put a check mark in the check box next to it. then select ok.

12. now your back to the Mfg tool main window. Check the Profile drop down menu to make sure it is on the rom you want. then hit start.

13. it will install the rom you selected. when you get to the part where it says "please connect device" and the stop button is red it is done installing. hit the stop button and unplug your mp3 player from the computer.

14. turn on your mp3 player with its new rom. it may take a little bit longer than usual to start up but thats only because its for the first time.

15. you are done unless there are more instructions with the rom.

for people that have already done this, here is a set of instructions to install differant roms

1. extract the rom Package somewhere on your computer.

2. now take the actual rom folder (in this case the AndroidGeneric folder) and put it into the profiles folder in MFG tool folder

3. Turn off your MP3 Player Compleatly

4. now with your player still turned off hold Volume Up and plug it into your computer using the same usb port that you used the first time

5. dont let go of Volume Up untill you hear the beep of the computer recognizing the device.

9. After Thats Done open MfgTool.exe

12.Check the Profile drop down menu to make sure it is on the rom you want. then hit start.

13. it will install the rom you selected. when you get to the part where it says "please connect device" and the stop button is red it is done installing. hit the stop button and unplug your mp3 player from the computer.

14. turn on your mp3 player with its new rom. it may take a little bit longer than usual to start up but thats only because its for the first time.

15. you are done unless there are more instructions with the rom.
