[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
MY steps? What did I write, what did you do?
[General Questions and Answers] inpisluke:
1st i got mine goophone from DHgate Efit and no root then im trying to use you method base on you blog then i also try several way. The last one im using flash tool the it die :(

From Here

This is for the MTK6575 Goophone i5 with the specs listed above - I tried it on mine and it worked!

Credits go to ColonelZap and TPSparky

First of all, go to the settings - Developer options and check "USB debugging":

Your phone NEEDS to be recognized as an "ADB Device" on your pc (under Control Panel > Devices), or else this won't work!

Download this ROOTING SCRIPT

Unpack the RAR.

Double click the TPSparkyRoot.bat

TAKE YOUR TIME!!! Your phone will re-boot several times, be patient!!!

On success, your phone should now have a "Superuser" app installed and it should be rooted

YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

So does anyone actually have a goophone i5 with working 3G?? Does 3G work on CM9 ?
[General Questions and Answers] scpforever:
Hello,

first of all, my main linguange is Portuguese so my english is not to be perfect.

I bought the Goofhone I5 from androi-sale, and i only can work with them because i made step by step the mayiandjay videos and rom's.

Now the phone sim's to be fine, but there still a lot of bug's, expecialy when i change the language.

My BIGGEST problem is the camera- poor quaality, and i don't know why, i already put another software and t images it seem's like like garbage.....

It probably the autofocus doesn't work and i think it have a finger impression on the lens.

Does anybody have the same problem?

There is another Rom better than Mayiandjay_modded_ rom 0123_v2 .

With best regard's

I'm an infant when it comes to these things (I believe the phrase used is "Noob" in this context). However I'll gladly try to put together the steps I took from a very lay-person viewpoint. Again the standard disclaimers shall definitely apply ...

"do it at your own risk --- nobody here on this xda community the developers nor others will have anything to do if something were to go wrong with your device --- blah blah"

But first things first, I'll have to recall every step in the process, write it, and proof read it before I post it. This will take a day or so. Please check back here tomorrow or on Saturday.

On TMob in US for just one day now. At the moment I'm not sure it is working on HSPA+. I think in my case it is on "E" which is more like 2G speeds. Once TMob completes "refarming" I'm hoping that there will be an improvement to at least 3G. The gPhone i5 doesn't have 1700 MHz (clock) and TMob requires that in addition to 2100 MHz for 3G & 4G. After "refarming", the way I understood is that GSM 1900 MHz will move from EDGE to HSPA+ and we will start seeing higher speeds ... until then keep fingers crossed.

Thanks man, I honestly appreciate it.

I'm actually still waiting on my phone in the mail. I'm just trying to understand as much as I can before it shows up. Currently, I have an old iPhone and a W7 phone, so the Android O/S is different than what I'm used to. Nothing wrong in being prepared. :)

Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
I don't quite understand why you used the TPSparky script? The Goophone i5 N2 I am talking about has the MT6577, not the MT6575 CPU, that's why I linked to a different rooting method on my blog:

Hai Manuxo,

I have a problem.Got the latest rom on my goophone. Worked without any problems. When the phone was al booted up I gave the phone a factory reset by going into the settings menu within Android. The phone rebooted showin me an image of the android logo with purple stripes. It's showing me this for like 5 seconds and then reboots again showing me the same thing again. The phone hangs in a boot loop. Anyway I can fix this by using some sort of flashtool????

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Edit: Also the computer doesn't recognize the phone any more. The phone doesn't turn on anymore either even after charging. What do you think? One way ticket to the seller/factory?

Should have been more clear. it was said that it was done but for the problems of access the mobile networks setting or even toggle 3g/data connection.

Ok. I was thinking it was the same problem of APNs not be able to be changed or set like mine was and that we could use APN Manager Pro to set and change them. So as it is now it has no data function. Hope that gets fixed:silly:

Hi again, another quick update. My phone stopped working, as charging works and sometimes it doesn't so I have to send it back to China. (around 1 month for it to go and come back) I could get it back in around a little bit more than a week if they accept to send me a replacement as soon as I send them my damaged phone.

So the Cyanogenmod9 port will be postponed to then.

Sorry guys :(

If they were to exchange/replace the phone wouldnt it be worth getting a refund and getting the new goophine i5 N2?
[General Questions and Answers] anexonel13:
There is no such thing as "Goophone I5 N2" it is just another name made up by fastcardtech... Goophone I5 N2 (fastcardtech.com) = Goophone I5 lite (android-sale.com) :)

And I got it from android-sale under retail price so I kind of have to stick with it.

Really? i was told the n2 was a later version compared to the light.

[General Questions and Answers] jonaboy:
Launcher

Did anyone manage to make ilauncher the default launcher, i can install it and get in the ilauncher with easytouch so, i played a bit with the phone, made a rom with ilauncher but when i slide the lockscreen i get "starting failed: launcher reject" but the GOlauncher does work as default launcher and it's pretty smooth. anyway the ilauncher as default launcher would give the phone a more ios feel because it is 1:1 identical and it's super smooth on the phone, but the rom doesn't seem to like it because you can't make it a default launcher...

P.S.: when you install both of the launchers the home button doesn't work anymore, so you have to use easytouch to get to the home screen, i guess the the launcher that comes with the stockrom has something to do with the homebutton..

ROM 131

Hi jonaboy,

Thx for the tuto. I managed to install it but... I have no more external SD card (with Root Explorer, i can see a void SDcard2... :/ ), the recovery is now in chinese as all the apps ^^ And I have no network (no service), can't set the APN either, at least Wifi is still functionnal. Now I'm struggling to go back to my other ROM (xvekix one), i'll maybe install it again when it'll be modded as well.

I'm still waiting on my phone, but I've also been wondering about the apn issue. After doing some research, I've found this.

http://www.osimood.com/2012/05/news-apn-database/

It generates the apn based on your country and service provider. NOTE: The site seems to be down at the moment, but was up and running yesterday.

Hey, thanks for the upload :)

I was wondering if you could tell me what the difference between this ROM and the v1.0 rom from Manuxo found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131475

He's managed to fix a few bugs that were present in the stock rom. Since you got that rom from goophonehk, I'm wondering if that's just the stock rom that comes with the phone? Are some of the bugs fixed in this version?

Thanks in advance. :D

Hello,

I'm on airtel carrier. I am running neo rom V2.1 (GB based) and trying to make a conference call between 3 parties including myself.

When i call 1st number and get connected, i use "Add call" to add another call.

After the 2nd call is added, i click on "Merge" option.. and i get the screen "unable to make conference calls" error.

I read in other forums that it is carrier specific? Has anyone experiencing this issue?

Solution/Fix: Call conferencing feature is network provider specific. If you find any issue with call conferencing, you may check with service provider. I was told that on vodafone and airtel networks, prepaid SIM's don't support call conferencing feature (not yet as per customer care exec).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DeepankarS:
Re: [Issue] Unable to make conference calls. Neo Rom 2.1 [GB]

Buddy were you able to make confrence calls earlier as in before using this rom ??

Because at times you have to ask your service provider to activate the value added services like call confrencing, call waiting and all :)

Might be a problem at airtels end too. Or you have to get it activated.

Call 198 and ask?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
Thanks pal.. you are right.

But, i used to make conference calls from a different phone using the same sim card.

Now, after your post, i wanted to find out if any of my services was actually disabled, to my surprise, conf call facility was disabled for some reason.. :( . just now activated it. let me try a few calls and update.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DeepankarS:
Re: [Issue] Unable to make conference calls. Neo Rom 2.1 [GB]

Its good that it got solved :D

Airtel and Vodafone people are in a habit of disabling certain facilities without any prior notice i suppose :P

Happened to me on my vodafone too..:P
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Actually It happened due to sim changes. Happened with me. When you insert the SIM in any other mobile. It automatically send status to service provider. Then it stopped it. Also, you have seen in previous days, When u insert sim in other mobile then it gives you GPRS & MMS setting automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:

If prepaid sim's are not supported, Then how you made conference call with the same SIM in other mobile :mad: ......
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
:D.. I have a postpaid SIM and the service was very much activated that time. And, i was using it in another mobile. Only now i realised, i wasnt able to make conf calls. Hope i made it clear :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] DeepankarS:
Prepaid sims support conferencing!! :eek:

I have it activated on both my airtel.and vodafone!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandanbs:
Hi Deepankar,

Thanks for the info. But, when i called up vodafone bangalore and airtel bangalore.. (i talked in regional language.. !!) they said they are not supporting conf call facility on prepaid as of now. but they are planning to support in future..

If its supporting on your prepaid, its great.. let me know your region.. i will call them up again and tell them about your prepaid conf call availability to them.

i just searched in web..

http://www.vodafone.in/vas/callmanagement/pages/callconference.aspx

found the following disclaimer..

---

Service not available for Prepaid customers in AP, Kerala and Karnataka.

While most phones support Call Conference for up to 5 people, we would recommend you check with your phone manufacturer regarding details for your phone.

Hey,

Please forgive me if this and following questions have been answered already. I'm casual reader of XDA Forums. Before posting this thread I've done a lot of searching and reading (it took me past 2 hours) and still I'm unsure as to the answer.

I hope it's perfectly fine to have more questions in the thread than one.

All I could find about my current phone and rom running on it:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18067902/Screenshot_2013-01-28-13-13-56.png

So to the point. I'm curious if there are any consequences of flashing ROM and not using the correct CSC,

I wanted to flash latest JB on my phone - the official stock ROM from Spain. I'm afraid of doing it because I'm not sure what will happen.

Will my phone be debranded?

Some background info: I bought the phone in Poland. Flashed stock ICS ROM with multiCSC and chose XEO as you can see in the screenshot above. Now I'm living in Denmark. I'd like to get the latest JB on my phone, debranded. What should I do?

Another small question - where can I get the latest version of Odin? I've been looking for some official site for it but to no avail. It seems that I'm too stupid for that.

Thanks in advance for your time and hopefully an answer to my questions (also if any further arise).

NB Sorry for using wrong terms throughout the post - I'm kinda newbie to all of these.

Brickbug is a hardware problem but only matters if you have a kernel that is not patched for it. Just don't wipe or format the phone till you are sure you have a kernel that is safe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Brick bug was a start, I assume you've done more reading about all those answers you were looking for.

CSC will work for every I9100, you were reffering to MODEM.

Go ahead and flash jb from spain, if your network doesn't work (unlikely but possible) you'll have to flash another modem.

And yes, your device will be fully unbranded.
