Try it

In my original goophone I5 lite when i press volume key down+power i have acess to recovery mode and when I press volume key volume key up+power i have acess to test mode.

So in white as i can see you are in a test mode.

Reboot it and try to press volume up+power

Beware if you have a real goophone I5 lite to flash roms in this tread. The rom are posted in this tread are only for goophone I5 lite (or goophone I5 N2 - fastcardtech name).

For goophone I5S, or gooaple V88 you can find another roms in another treads.

NO USB :(

I have a goophone i5 with CWM recovery but cant access USB storage to load and re-flash rom any Ideas ive tried everything phone charges just USB wont recognize in windows as if nothing were connected
[General Questions and Answers] Jet12:
Read it and pay atention 2

First of all we need to know what phone do you have. Is it a real goophone I5 lite or Goophone I5 N2?

If you are sure is an original goophone I5 lite or N2 see the steps to recover your phone and sd too.

To update the firmware use this software

- Download the flash tool - http://www.manodesigns.com.pt/flashtool.rar

- Extract it

- download and extract this rom - http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/za...droidstyle.rar (ICS pure android for goophone i5)

- Open the SP Flash Tool

- Load the scatter file from the ROM folder by File - Open scatter file - browse to MT6577...scatter

- uncheck PRELOADER and DSP_BL checkboxes

- Turn off your phone

- Press download button on the SP flash tool

- Connect the phone via USB (do not switch it on!)

- The bars will start to progress. Wait until they finish and a green circle will pop up.

If nothing happens after connecting phone switched off - check your Windows system for new hardware found. It can be seen within approximately 10 seconds after plugging the phone in, and you have to catch this moment and supply the drivers (here is a pool of drivers: https://disk.yandex.ru/public/?hash=...tDn8LNCkclg=

after that unplugged usb connection and turn on you phone and check if the rom are ok and try to acess your sd card. If its ok you can flash a this new recovery custom because the actual recovery custom is not working.

Then you will need to download recovery_goo_cwm.rar (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt + recovery_goo_cwm) - http://chinamobiles.org/showthread.p...l=1#post360971

- Extract it in your pc

- Open the SP Flash Tool

- Load the scatter file from the recovery_goo_cwn folder

- uncheck all checkboxes an check only recovery

- Turn off your phone

- Press download button on the SP flash tool

- Connect the phone via USB (do not switch it on!)

- The bars will start to progress. Wait until they finish and a green circle will pop up.

If nothing happens after connecting phone switched off - check your Windows system for new hardware found. It can be seen within approximately 10 seconds after plugging the phone in. After that you will have a workfull custom recovery in english to install any rom you want.

I recommend Manucho's 1.31 or cafix2 beta 3 rom (IOS theme). Or if you like this ICS pure android rom you can use that too.

Again BEWARE if you phone is an original goophone i5 lite or goophone i5 N2. If you have a different phone this step should be done using the correct rom for your phone. If you try it and you have a different phone this will brick it and till you do it using the correct rom your phone will be unesufull. BEWARE

Hey Jet thanks for the Input yes I have an Original goophone i5 N2 white.

After Recieving the phone I succesfully rooted Installed CWM recovery from colonel zap's blog tried out a few Roms and at the End i opted for the Pure ICS rom and all was working awesome but for some reason just before i was going to make a back up I lost USB mass storage mode

I am pretty tech savvy I have already tried all these steps the only limitation is now i cant load the rom to try to reflash if i hit the reset button by the camera it resets all data everything is fine the only thing is no USB mass storage mode support i even went as far as connecting through ADB wireless and try to push the rom file to the phone but for some reason it doesnt have permissions even though i have Root.

I can also see the sd cards fine with root explorer so the cards are not defective and I dont think its a WIN driver problem becuase when i plug in the cable it charges but nothing happens as if nothing were connected

I ordered some new aftermarket lightning cables should be coming in today or tomorrow. hopefully i dont have a bad cable that would drive me crazy with all the research and time i have done trying to figure this out before asking for help on the forum.but its strange becuase cable worked fine before so........

I even formated both sd cards mounted remounted multiple times no Luck

Let me know what you think

Yes,finally,my white one is now going into the recovery mode (just up-power)

but now,the problem is with the black one.

Atleast i got some pictures of it.

This happens if i´m pressing down+power:

and if i´m pressing up+power i´m getting into the test mode :)

but the problem is that i´m not even understanding anything in the recovery mode,cause it´s chinese :laugh:

So,now i´d made some choises on the black..and it´s stuck,it isn´t recognizing on any button press. (i pressed the 2nd line)

Could you now explain me the steps how i can install the rom on my white one!? and maybe on my black one too!?
[General Questions and Answers] Shuffle8:
Yes it is, as I already installed root from Mayiandjay and ROM from this thread - first Manuxo's and now Cafix's. Both work pretty fine.

I followed all your instructions and Oh miracle - it worked! SD reappeared. But only one of 2. I have internal device memory - 500mb, then one SD - i think it's called internal - 2gb, and finally the external sd - 16gb.

Both Sds disappeared today and only one of them appeared after your instructions. Anyway, thank you for your help - it's already a big deal.

But maybe you can tell me:

- What on earth was it anyway? Diв SD-cards die because of the drop or because of some soft-troubles. If because of the drop how your instructions managed to solve a hardware problem with software?

I changed build.prop yesterday - is there a connection maybe. maybe I broke something, did wrong.

- Is there a way to save the second card?

- There's another strange little problem - when I plug phone in, a message appears in the notification center. Normally there would be two messages - one with the bottom "Turn on usb storage" and second - with 3 options - plug the device as a usb-storage, as multymedia device and something else in the third option. But yesterday somethig changed (before drop, for no reason) - the message with the button doesn't appear anymore. Only 1 message appears on plugging in: Connected as usb storage, touch for other options - but when I tap it, the notification centre just goes up, and nothing happens. So I cant choose the method.

Things came back to normal when I followed the instructions and got "pure android" theme, but then I installed cafix's rom and it went back to collapsing and not letting me choose.

Now I can access 1 sd card from my phone (ES explorer) and from explorer on PC, but snappea now doesn't seу any SD. Again.

Although it saw 2gb sd before I installed capfix rom.

Thank you again, but this thing just doesn't give up braking.
[General Questions and Answers] Jet12:
In white you have to do it.

- Install Zip from SD Card (2nd Option)

- Choose zip from sd card (1s Option)

- Browse the file Find the rom that you want to install

- Install it

In black use your simtray extractor to reset the phone (theres is a little bottom between camera ans flash back on the original goophone I5)

Now you phone is turn off.

Then you will need to download recovery_goo_cwm.rar (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt + recovery_goo_cwm) - http://chinamobiles.org/showthread.p...l=1#post360971

- Extract it in your pc

- Open the SP Flash Tool

- Load the scatter file from the recovery_goo_cwn folder

- uncheck all checkboxes an check only recovery

- Turn off your phone

- Press download button on the SP flash tool

- Connect the phone via USB (do not switch it on!)

- The bars will start to progress. Wait until they finish and a green circle will pop up.

If nothing happens after connecting phone switched off - check your Windows system for new hardware found. It can be seen within approximately 10 seconds after plugging the phone in. After that you will have a workfull custom recovery in english to install any rom you want.

I recommend Manucho's 1.31 or cafix2 beta 3 rom

Do all the steps I passed to you using flashtool but extract it and use this firmware----> http://yadi.sk/d/pwv-mVbm4oPW0

don't forget to UNCHECK PRELOADER and DSP_BL BEFORE FLASHING.

Don't worry about 2 or 1 sd. Some roms shows only one sd. The important thing is if they are working weel and with full capacity.

Maybe this could solve your problem with sd card.

After you will need to download recovery_goo_cwm.rar (MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt + recovery_goo_cwm) - http://chinamobiles.org/showthread.p...l=1#post360971

- Extract it in your pc

- Open the SP Flash Tool

- Load the scatter file from the recovery_goo_cwn folder

- uncheck all checkboxes an check only recovery

- Turn off your phone

- Press download button on the SP flash tool

- Connect the phone via USB (do not switch it on!)

- The bars will start to progress. Wait until they finish and a green circle will pop up.

After that turn on your phone and see how is it.

About the message for android errors, its nomal when you load a new rom using recovery mode, sometimes this happen with me too.

Than choose the rom that you want, flash it using english recovery mode power off+volume down.

After that when you turn on the phone for the first time. Go to settings, general, resetphone. don't erase the sd card only reset phone. Sometimes the message error will appear, than clikc ok and continue to click on phone options quicly (before the message appear again, it's boring but work)

Wait to phone finish to reset and when the phone starts, no more messages about erros and closes.

I was able to download the 1.3.1 rom to the phone and flash it everything is working except for the USB mass storage i was hoping a Flash would fix it I probably need to re-flash CWM but without USB i cant use SP flash tool any Ideas mate??

I can acess adb through wireless if that helps in any way

if i try to mount from CWM nothing happens

is there a way that i can clear the whole phone and start fom scratch ?

I think my problem started when i saw a lot of unorganized files and folders on my SD cards from the pure ICS rom and i formated the SD cards on CWM.

Thanks for your time
[General Questions and Answers] Shuffle8:
No progress. It's still only one sd card. ES explorer says "no SD mounted" meaning the second, 16gb card.

By the way - whoose rom it is? It's something new.

Maybe it's really a hardware problem, maybe it just lost contact in there. Anybody tried to disassamble the phone? Cause some fakes die just after disassembling.

I still can't see the 2bb SD with snappea and my PC either. I see it only with ES explorer on the phone, so I can't even install apps on it or write vids from PC. The only time it worked - it was with the first time after instructions - with the PureAndroid. I could go back to it, but I need an iOs-styled rom. So I'm out of options.

UPD: New question - what is rhe difference between flashing the rom with flashtools and installing it with restore image? Wiping cache + data? A if so - what does it gives you?

The rom that i passed is not new, but is different than Android Pure ICS. It's a russian IOs theme (but you can change to english using settings)

I don't recomend you to open your phone. Unfortunately they really can died if you do this, unless you have knowledge to do it safely.

About your new question.

Flash tools is used to put a complete firmaware to phones.

When you flash it using custom recovery you are able to update you phone.

Some rom like manuchos, maynadjay, cafix, etc. Are only upgrades that it will be applied on complete firmwares and don't have all files tah complete have.

So this can be flashed using recovery, but not using flashtoll because they need some files that the upgrades romm doen't have.

But if the android bricks you are not able to use recovery mode.

Than you can use flashtool to try to revive your phone.

The only thing you have to try is testing complete firmware to check if your SDs revive.

This is another ISO firmware (diferent than russian) to use with flashtoll that you can try. - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=324294&uk=540296524#dir/path=/Rom/Goophone I5 Rom

[General Questions and Answers] Shuffle8:
Thanks, but I still have only one sd and this time it's also is not seen by anything but es explorer on the phone. phone even can't make photos, because it doesn't see the sd and has nowhere to put photos.

I think that I understand the problem - one SD is alive, one is dead. And all the difference between the roms is what SD it will detect as SD1 and which one as SD2. If it detects the alive one as SD1 - everything works. and if the dead one, then noone just realizes that there is another SD, they stumble upon the dead one and say "there is no SD, format it, do something", they (apps and rom itself) can't reach to a second SD over the head of the dead one.

So there is my question - is there any way to swap the SD cards, to determine the order they are detected in? So that I can put the alive 2gb sd ahead of the dead 16gb sd?

Logo

If you are talking about the system boot logo follow these steps

Anyone who wants a sleek look original apple logo during boot time without any other logos or messages - here's a CWM mode update http://www.mediafire.com/?8jkwgjjt4f59ezr.

It also kills all boot-up sounds if any exist.

Don't know how to install?

1. Download and copy this zip file without unpacking to your sd card

2. Boot up your GooPhone i5 into recovery mode (using Rebooter - Reboor Recovery from IOS interface or by holding Volume- and Power when your device is switched off)

2. Select Install zip from sdcard (2-nd item)

3. Select Choose zip from sdcard (1-st item)

4. Select goophone-i5-applelogo-cwm.zip

After successfull installation select Reboot system now

Actions done are very simple: deleting boot up sounds files and replacing logo images. No other modules are affected.

Note: this patch was tested by me several times, but I think this disclaimer is necessary: You're doing it at your own risk!

[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Read carefully:

1st -> People donated because they wanted to, not because they were forced to.

2nd -> since it was released, i've already released several informations/ROMS/Improvements/tutorials for it so you don't have to blame me for anything.

3rd -> What was requested at the point i start to work on the phone, was just to install google apps and put english as primary language (THIS WAS MADE ON MY FIRST RELEASE). So, i could stopped right there, but no! i continued and i've fixed many things and helped many people having their phone fixed and working properly.

4th-> i have posted this HERE because it is a new phone, and im saying that i will have one and it will have my support.

5th-> At this point there is another user working on this phone, actually i think he continued my job...so this phone continues to be worked.

6th ->i never said that i would leave this project phone, but i will if necessary, or if i want to...life goes on..you know?

7th -> there isn't one PM that i did not answered helping others to install drivers, solving conflicts, unbricking their phones, etc...

After all this i hope you understand my job here....did any company that sold your phone gave you any kind of help or support?

Think about it.
