For those looking to buy from thecheapchoice.com be advice that they are forebidden to sell the goophone on their website due to some type of dispute they have with apple.

They claim they still selling it on Dhgate I'm still waiting to get the link mailed.

Hi Folks

Unfortunately, what I feared has happened! My GPi5 will no longer connect to my carrier and has also lost the sd card connection. I flashed the latest rom v1.3 but had to put that on the internal card, which I think didn't work properly because it must delete that area when it's install, hence why the instructions say to place the zip file on the external card. Can anyone here help me out in getting this fixed please? I can't figure out why this happened because everything was working perfectly 2 days ago.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Maybe you are facing an hardware issue. I think the best thing to do is to return the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] DarkSouljur:
Hey manuxo I have a couple questions I hope you can help me with.

I'm new to Android, I've wanted to buy one for a while and I did a lot of research and bought the "Goophone I5" from DHgate (seller: groupbuy.LTD)

I'm new to android but i'm not dumb

Antutu score of 6350, it says I have an MTK6589 (i know it's not true because the phone says dual core). It also have 480x854 (advertised as 540x960) resolution, so i don't think i got the real goophone i5. I wanted to install your rom but i don't know much about android. First i have to root the phone right? Will mayiandjay's root work for my phone or will it screw it up? Also, after i root it is there any rom's i can use to have android skin not this iOS one?
[General Questions and Answers] IndyUK:
Got it from someone on eBay so no return s I'm afraid. Learned my lesson about Chinese imports though. Best thing I can use this for is just a gaming phone or just internet related tasks. Shame because I really liked it.
[General Questions and Answers] virre62:
Well dude....as far as i know from the link u sent me there is no quadcore goophone i5...atleast not on the market yet..so ye...probably the old mtk6575..but no biggy...good phone that one aswell...

1:so first thing you need to do is install the MTK vCom driver on ur pc

instructions here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2206421

2: now u need to download ur SP-Flashtool and CWM

SP-Flashtool => http://www.400gb.com/u/582581/2218758

CWM =>http://chinamobiles.org/showthread.php?32954-Recovery-Sammel-Thread&p=360971&viewfull=1#post360971

Now this is the CWM for the goophone i5 n2/lte mtk 6577 so im not sure that it will work on your phone since the retina higher screen resolution

4 now with the SP-flashtool you can flash roms, parts or foms and ofcourse recoverys....

in sp tool you first load the roms Scatterfile...usually looks something like this "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" and comes with the rom/recovery u wanna flash.... its a file that tells SP-tools the components of the files u wanna flash over to the phone..

when thats done youll get a list with all the files, if u wanna flash a complete rom or cwm u just make sure that all the boxes are checked.

5 Important step!!! keep your phone disconnected from the phone...press download in sptool..its gonna give u some warning...just click ok.....and NOW you connect your phone..and it will all do its magic...

if you connect your phone before you press the download button its not gonna find it..

Good luck...and ofcourse this is on your own risk...first thing to consider is if you really need to flash anything on it.....but thats one of the ways to do it.....;)

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

mayiandjay oneclick root is suuper!! first u gotta make sure u install the android adb pack....he sayes in the video what adb u need and then to google how to install i....might seme a bit complicated but there are good easy to follow tutorials in forums for that....and when thats done its just plug, one click and play :D

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 AM ----------

try a rom compatible to your phone?.....might be that the rom doesnt support the phone u have.....might also be a hardware problem...but try installing a rom that supports ur phone...u dont always get the same phone that has been advertised on many less serious webstores

dude!! i think this is the phone u have "goophone i5 N2 Lte- MTK6575 2.0Ghz 4.0 inch FWVGA Screen Android 4.0.5 Phone"

does ur phone have the lightning conection? .. google "how to tell genuine goophone i5"...get antutu and see what it sayes.....think ur just gonna have to gamble a little if u absolutly wanna flash it.....im not 100% but u should be able to flash the cwm link i sent u without the phone getting bricked (zipfile has the scatter file inside!)...first time i tryed i did it with mobile uncle...didnt work but didnt brick my phone either....only that i couldnt access the recovery so i had to flash the complete thing again....personally i think it looks fishy when it first sayer 6575 and then 6589.... if it is a goophone n2 lte the goophone roms should work...but ofcourse its allways on ur own risk....

Exchange mail does not install

Hi, ii have downloaded this and several other versions of this rom but none of them are able to connect my phone to my ms exchange server ( i try this via icloud option, the software does not go further than identiying incoming server settings. I have tried several other third party software like touchdown or exmail, they all work fine and connect me to my server. Does anybody has also such a problem, or can anybody help me to figure this out?

has anyone installed this rom on a zophone i5? if not do you think it would work becuase theyhave near enough the same specs

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] tmutis:
I am pretty sure i have tried all of these options. None of them work (By the way K9 does not work as well, while exmail and touchdown work fine). Exmail for instance start checking the incoming server settings and after 30 seconds tells me that my server needs to change some options on my mobile and i need to accept these modifications (I saw in an other thread that this is a new trend to secure the exchange server especially for ms 2010 servers). When I accept this, the program readily sync my mails and tasks with the server (calender option did not work as Exmail does not have its own calender, but all options work woth touchdown) .

The default email program of goophone however never reach to this stage and always ends up by saying that it failed to contact with the server. I suspect that this default mail program is not ready to accept the new security messages coming from the ms2010 exchange servers. Anybody have any idea to fix this?

Thanks
