Thank you, Manuxo!

As soon as I get a camera, I'll post the picture of the first menu. I honestly don't need a full translation, but at least I'd like to be able to find the flash menu, the backup/recovery menu and the "wipe data factory" option.

Ciao!

Woooow!!!! Thank you so much, Johnny!

Now I can really start to enjoy this device! :D

May I disturb you again, in case I'll feel uneasy with the sub-menus as well?
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
Well I don't read chinese but I've found most of what I need by trial and error but a few hints:

Use the first item in install from zip.

The first 2 items in Backup and restore are guess what? backup and restore, but depending on how your sdcard is mapped you may need to use the items with 'sd' in them. Just try to find the same chinese characters as in the first 2 items with 'sd' as well.

The 2nd item in Advanced is clearly wipe Dalvik cache.

The 2nd last item in Mounts & storage is mount USB

The last item in all sub menus is go back

While I was just reading about needing translation for the Mandarin version of CWM I found a tutorial on flashing recovery for Chinese devices. Scroll half way down the page for the picture of recovery.http://www.needrom.com/recovery-for-mobiles-chinese/#more-3380 I don't have the i9 yet but i'm assuming it looks like that. hope that helps.

[General Questions and Answers] zedbest:
Thanks again, Johnny! You don't read chinese, but for sure you've been braver than me in testing this recovery! I successfully made a full backup immediately after your first hints, few hours ago. ;)

Meanwhile, I asked to the chinese guy who released this recovery on MobileUncle Forum if he can prepare and post an English-translated one for "Not Chinese Androidians". Let's wait...

@ ojam29: in the same forum several roms for our I9 are available already: I guess you can find the one with the language that fits for you; by the way, you can remove system chinese apps using "Titanium Backup" or a common root explorer.

For everybody who have problems with virtual buttons: my I9 came along with "Easy Touch", an interesting app which provides virtual buttons, fully customizable and well-integrated in the system; you can find it on Google Play (Android version and i-Phone version) for free; I removed it and later I re-installed it again from the market without any problem; you can also try "Button Savior", but I didn't test it on this device yet.

I don't know how to read that. google translate isn't helping either.

Any other ideas for fixing no service on the phone? I want to do the 3g fix but the tutorial wont let me read it without an account. It gets some signal on t-mobile but drops and most of the time won't send sms.

I am literally so mad I might smash this phone if I can't fix it soon. I know they don't honor returns so its basically the same thing if I ship it back to fast card tech.

[General Questions and Answers] inkyadrian:
New screen

It is not a new screen that is needed to cure our problem. The problem is that the 0616 update has changed the low-level drivers have change the info in the GPU chip. Any stock or custom ROM will not fix this issue unless the touch-screen problem has been addressed. I believe that another 0616, or whatever it is numbered, must me complied to re-flash our phones and reset the GPU chip.

also while trying to watch a movies or try to play Candy Crush Saga,after a while,screen is stuck and phone stops working.

these are occured after trying to install different roms :(

I tried to find original rom but no way to find.

Working Goophone i9 ROM zip

I want to thank everyone for their expertise.

As a newbie I bricked my phone backing up with Titanium Pro. The help given by JohnnyInBriz, kakus and ojam29 on page 4 saved me £100's.

The ROM which worked for me was found on this page (pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=425656&uk=4063200600)

How I got it to download was select the 2nd download tab/square with the Chinese Characters(329.53M) in brackets. When the 2nd square pops up in the middle of the screen select the right hand tab and you should see the download option at the bottom of the screen. The title has. with a mixture of Chinese and English the Goophonei9 ROM (329MB) from 183.61.73.33.

I hope this helps someone.

fastcardtech

I put in an order for the goophone i9 last april 16 with fastcardtech, used Western Union to sent money to them on the 17th and since then (its now april 23) my payment has yet to be confirmed and my phone has yet to be shipped. all their online tech reply was it normally takes one (1) day to confirm payment with Western Union and yet they have NOT confirmed my payment and shipped the i9 yet. I admit this is my first purchase with them and an international purchase for me, hence the jitters, but really now...so many days to confirm payment?!?! This is what I have been through with fastcardtech at the present. I still have an open mind that others might have a different experience with them.

I just purchased the goophone i9 from fastcardtech.com as well with paypal. I ordered mine over the weekend and yesterday they sent me an email saying it was sent out. Scary thing was almost as soon as I got the email I got another saying customs denied the package due to problems with Apple and copyright problems. They said they resent it by another carrier and haven't heard back so I hope all is going well.

They had to use a different carrier which was slightly slower but they told me they gave me an extra gift for troubles. As long as the phone works when I get it then they're an A+ in my books.

[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
I was going to order from their site but when I couldn't find how to buy it directly from them with paypal then I ended up at fastcardtech. I found out that if you hit the quick view on the picture of the phone that you want then it brings up a menu to purchase from them. I assume you can use paypal that way since they claim to support it. Chinapadmall.com had an aluminum phone box that the phone comes in that I thought was cool looking but from what I've seen more people seemed to trust fastcardtech so I went with them.
[General Questions and Answers] attanjr:
at http://www.fastcardtech.com/article.php?id=9

"We can accept PayPal , E-Check, Credit card, MoneyBookers, Bank T/T, Western Union & Money Gram as our main payment method.

Fastest processing method: Western Union & MoneyGram, pay today, and within 24hour your products are shipped out."

There were two (2) reasons why I chose Western Union:

1. it's mentioned in their site that the fastest processing method was Western Union or MoneyGram.

2. the online payment by credit card didn't show up in my payment options so I had to decide on Western Union or MoneyGram.

What I can understand is that they HAVEN"T verified yet my payment as of this writing, its now a week since I've sent them the payment. Does it take that long to verify payment? I've sent four (4) emails re: my payment details to their pay****@fastcardtech.com but still no verification!

[MENTION=2912217]alda.v[/MENTION] why shouldn't we use Western Union, please share info.
[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
I don't understand why western union would be any faster than Paypal. Its instantaneous. Most of the things I've heard really just relate to Paypal and how the site is specific that things such as your information matching up on their site with Paypal's info. They have a forum on their website as well. Try creating a thread and see if a mod answers back to you.
