I don't see any issue here if you have 8 GB version - like Goophone i5 N2 V2 (which is 10 GB???). China phones are using part of SD Card as the Internal memory (usually 2 or 4 GB) and the rest like 4-6 GB - is for you. You should also review what is in the SD card and in memory, there can be some chinese applications, movies and photos. If you have CWM installed - please review what is in clockworkmod folder. There can be lot of data (like 4-5 GB!).

PC doesn't see the device when connected in regular USB mode - that is normal.

If I change to "media device" mode, the SD card is accessible from my PC - that is also normal.

You can replace SD Card from 8GB to 32GB. On youtube you can find manual how to do this.

If you could provide the link to your phone that would help. I don't think your device is running Android in version 4.1.5, but as long as it is "Goophone i5" running MKT6577 processor and has 512 MB RAM and "retina" display - you can try with software modified by Manuxo (link on first page).

I would suggest you installing CWM first, perform backup of your current software and install ROM from this topic (link at first page). If it will not work, you will have the possibility to go back to original one.

I am affraid WIFI reception will not change after changing the software. As far as I am aware it is not possible to extend WIFI sensivity on this phone, you can partially extend GPS...So even if you flash with new ROM ... I am afraid it will not resolve the problem with WIFI. But it is always worth to try ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xyz_969:
Well, the accessible 'internal' memory is indeed about 2 GB or so, but I remember that before flashing CWM and installing Manuxo's ROM, it was possible for the phone to use the remaining SD card memory, which is now not possible. Besides, the fact that CWM is unable to mount the SD card bothers me... the error message about unsuccessful mounting to me indicates that something is wrong.

When in the File Manager I'm trying to see the SD card content, it says 'SD card empty, unmounted or not present'.

In Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Storage, the SD card also shows as 'unavailable', and mounting is not possible. This cannot be right.

So I think if I could get CWM somehow mount the SD card, then these problems would be fixed.

It cannot be normal because with the original firmware, that wasn't like this.

Hm... again, before installing CWM and the new ROM, the device showed up in File Manager as two removable drives that could be accessed just fine. Switching to Media Device, the two drives were then accessible selecting the device first. So something is definitely not the same now. But honestly, I wouldn't care if the phone had access to the full SD card and would be able to store apps and photos etc. on it.

Any idea why CWM cannot mount the SD card, and how could I fix this?

I try to upgrade the goophonei5cwmrecovery, but the system say error path mtk6575... but using mtktool says the phone is mtk6577?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
[MENTION=4230229]xyz_969[/MENTION] - OK, I think now I understand your point. I wanted to say that connecting phone to PC in regular mode will not allow you access your internal card - but yes, phone should be recognized by OS, and when connecting as media device - two drives should be visible in PC - internal memory and SD Card. That is working normally..but not under ROM from this topic in version 1.3.1

There is a bug in 1.3.1 and you can't see anything under Windows in any mode. But I don't know why you don't have access to SDCARD from CWM :( I can't explain this.

I have never seen that issue.. Maybe your has Goophone i5 N2 Lte- MTK6575 model or clone from other company ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
Hey Manuxo.

Are you working on a new version of the ROM?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Where on hell can i find for sure the goophone i5 lite?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
It's Android in version 4.0.4 and this ROM is based on the newest version of Chinese Goophone ROM (without chinese apps, spyware etc..).

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Why are you asking ;) ?

I have the phone from the link you provided. In fact don't understand the naming convention from chinese shops. For me I5 and I5 Lite, I5 N2 QHD are the same phone models and this is the original Goophone i5 (I hope so).

Goophone is manufacturing two iPhone clones - Goophone i5 and I5s. I5s has worse camera, worse display and less memory. But I am not 100% sure about that :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
i hope so, just want to be sure, as in videos they show screen 854x480 :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mufflerexoz:
Just download and try it still same error came out.... :( its really 6577 or 6575?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
what error? install antutu tester and see what hardware u have
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
[MENTION=3267415]mufflerexoz[/MENTION] - yes, install antutu benchmark from Google Play Store and check "info" "System Info" what your CPU hardware is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
Little correction, they have the same amount of memory. They advertise 1Gb but it is only 512mb ram. You can verify this in a adb shell with "busybox free"

Can you ever trust Chinese specifications ???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Yea...The same with the applications under Android - like hardware info etc... Each application is giving different result. Even Antutu shows fake informations :P Some applications shows that Goophone i5 N2 has 4 cores, but all shows that there is 1024 MB RAM..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hensk:

hi i just bought goophone i5 lite and i have no signal on my mobile network, i tried another network simcard and same problem

just no bars but when i search for network i can see the details

but cant make calls, and my wifi doesn't work

maybe radio need flashed again, i have sp tool,

how can i flash radio where can i get files for goophone i5?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
My Goophone works perfectly even on stock (Chinese) firmware, but worth try with another software. I read about problems with stock firmware and 3G enabled for some GSM cards, so first I would recommend disabling 3G and check with 2G first ( I understand you can successfully enter the PIN for the card?).

You can't flash only radio part, at least I don't know how to do this. You can flash your goophone with different firmware. Here are different firmwares I have tested with my Goophone i5 N2 QHD (Lite) and they all works very good.

http://replik.pl/f/pfr/__-7rncN5i/goophone-i5

You can also find download ROM from the first page of this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mox123:
wifi and network servie no work, says carrier unavailable,

i try a different network sim as well same problem

o2 and vodafone

try 2g and 3g

what can i do :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
That is strange. Did you bought it in China ? Is this a new phone ? Check if you have CWM installed (press VOL- and Power ON). If so clear dalvik and user data. You can also try with factory reset from phone menu (but carefully if doing this from Mobile Uncle Tools - I blocked my phone and have big problem to recovery it (only recovery from oryginal firmware helped).

If this not help you can reflash your phone with oryginal soft (using Flash Tool) or with alternative (Manuxo) - but it requires CWM recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mox123:
i have problem

i backup my rom, then i wipe everything, i forget to install new rom and now my phone stuck at goophone logo,

how do i reboot the phone, i held down power button but no reboot its on and i cant turn it off or reboot to go back into recovery

how do i get back into recovery, phone wont boot just stuck at goophone logo

where can i get rom to flash with sp flash tool
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Reset button is on the back of the phone (small whole between camera and flashlight).

To enter recovery press and keep pressing VOL- and then press Power ON.

Oryiginal firmware to flash with SP Flash Tool is here : http://replik.pl/fg/__-7rncOeN/ (be carefull - are you sure your phone is Goophone i5 N2 QHD (named Lite in some shops?)

http://www.fastcardtech.com/Goophone-i5-N2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mox123:
thanks it is now rebooted

i am downloading the firmware you have given me, this is original firmware for goophone i5 1gbram retina display??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Yes, this one is for this exactly model (I successfully recovered mine using it):

http://www.fastcardtech.com/Goophone-i5-N2

I would recommend installing recovery with CWM first and then check Maxuno firmware - just to be sure that you have i5 N2 QHD (Retina).

If you do something wrong or this firmware is not for your phone (there are many clones) - your phone will be dead...with no option to recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mox123:
my phone is not quad core it is dual core, this firmware wrong? is goophone i5 lite rom v1.3.1 wrong as well for this phone?

my phone dual core http://www.dhgate.com/original-4-0-...d-4-0/p-ff8080813e4fa94a013e6a5b0fff61ec.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
It looks your phone is exactly the same like mine, so both firmwares will fit yours. Of course it does not have 1024 MB RAM - it is fake, it has only 512 MB.

Please note, you are doing upgrade on your responsibility. Changing firmware using Flash Tool is dangerous, can brick the phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mox123:
i flashed using spflash tool

still no call, it says "no service" on the top

i dont know what else to do

my wifi is working now!! but no call it says no service
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Try with ROM from this thread (it is based on the newest version available currently). Recovery (I mean the firmware you flashed via Flash Tool) is based on older version. If that firmware does not help you then contact your seller. That is all I can suggest.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vnman:
I think you may have deleted your NVRAM when installing Different ROM. In that case you lost your IMEI.

I have a zophone also and when ever I flash the ROM to this zophone I have to re-enter the IMEI using MobileUncle Tools.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mox123:
i think imei number is lost, how do i fix it?? how do i put new imei number

i try mobile uncle tools and go to cds information but it says error something package is missing ??

My Goophone has 512 + 256 MB Ram, so the 1GB is faked. I think a huge amount of owners have it with 512, the other have it plus 256.

New online store where you can buy phones (Reliable)

Hi,

As many people is saying that some stores are not as reliable as they should be i'm going to advice you where you can buy your goophone or any other phone without being afraid of being scammed.

I've started working with a guy a few months ago that opened his store recently. Im telling you that it is 100% reliable. He have hired a lot of people who knows how to speak english to give the best support to his customers.

He also prepare the orders in less than 48 hours. So im pretty sure that he will provide a very good service to all interested buyers.

Honestly i'm thinking about becoming his phone tester and ROM developer so i guarantee that he is reliable. Otherwise i would not work with him.

If you want to know the link to his store just PM me.

Which Goophones does i5 Lite ROM v1.3.1 work with?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
With Goophone i5 Lite/N2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Hi, does it mean you received your phone from FCT ? What is your first impression? What is the build quality of this product? What is the sound, speaker and display quality?

If cpu info shows mtk6589 then it should be mt6589. I wonder what is Antutu benchmark showing and what score do you archive? i5N2 archive about 8344.

On my I5N2 each hardware detection tool shows different result but all shows that processor is 6577. Some tools display 512 MB, some 780 MB and some 1024. Some shows 2 cores and some 4 cores :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
Yes I received it from Fastcardtech. Frist impression : bad. The logo is black, not chrome. The chrome edge on the left is not close to the screen.

On the back, the white part is not close to the aluminium piece.

Antutu score : 6156

Antutu device info : CPU hardware : MT6589, CPU model : Dual-core !!!! Not quad core like the screenshot shown on fastcardtech
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
This is very bad news. I suggest contacting FCT and explain the situation. I am really dissapointed after what you wrote and I am loosing my faith in FCT. Maybe they made ​​a mistake and sent you wrong phone, or ... maybe they are really untrustworthy....

I'm waiting for further news from you, maybe you can attach some photos of this phone. So far it looks Goophone i5 N2 is supposedly closest and best-made ​​copy of iPhone in the market. It was suspicious to me that Zophone is so light...especially when it has quite big battery (2800mAh) (of course if it really has that battery)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
I will contact Fastcardtech.

My wife's zophone is perfect ! And the weight of the zophone i5 pro is the same.

If someone in Europe want a Goophone i5 lite, i am selling my 2 old weeks phone. Send me a pm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acricketer:
Thanks Manuxo.

Any idea if there is a ROM for the Goophone i5?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
THERE IS NO MTK6589 goophone, or any other iphone imitation. No model! All are mtk6577 with 512mb ram in best case, like the original goophone i5.

All others, have fake antutu or system files from factories, and show fake specs, so sellers like fct write these specs without deep tests
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
And I think, even the original goophone hasn't 1GB ram. It shows 1GB, but only about 200mb free memory.

surprisingly enough the zophone pro shows 1GB ram and 700 mb free and also the cpu shows it is running at 1.2 Ghz

So i could be slightly better specs
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
i don't know about zophone, but yes, goophone i5 has 512MB RAM, in fastcardtech they write it

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
i ve make over 70 orders from them with no problem. and they have real after sales support, and the have send products without paying via paypal, so they are by no way scammers, and they have the shop over 8 years. As about goophone i5, they are the only shop that says that ram is 512MB instead of the fake 1GB that the manufacturer says. But the don't check all the products, so if the manufacturer of other product has rom with faked specs shown, the seller writes that he sees. The customer must be carefull before buying

No service in my goophone i5

I bought my with android-sale and I think it's the original goophone I5 16gb because they arrived with goophone logo. The last rom that I installed in this phone is Manucho's 1.31 firmware, the phone woks very weell with it, but unfortunately the phone still are using as an ipod and still showing no service. ;(

Why do you say it is not working with windows 8?

Maybe because the driver is not installed with Windows 8?

This is due to Windows 8 not accepting "Unsigned" driver in "normal windows mode, you need to boot windows 8 in "Advanced" mode to install "Unsigned" driver.

There are lots of articles on the net on how to do this.
