Hi! Esbarka,

Thanks very much!

In these thread you will find the wm6 4.0.0.6 rom
the step1 file Prophet_PV_Temp contains a standard version of wm5 rom that you can/must use as base point to upgrade to wm6
unpack the files in a directory, go to the three colour RGB display and connect USB cable. At these point launch the ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe (or g4 ... it depends on your prophet model) and follow the instruction.
Happy update.
Eugenio
Follow Instruction
hold and keep pressed cemera button and soft reset.
RGB screen will appear
Follow step 1
where it will get stuct at 85% for some time.
do not sync with active sync once step 1 is complete
then you can go to step 2
let full installation get complete.
then you can sync with your pc.
My phone is only three color mode, if i switch on. I try different rom upgrade but nothing. What i can do?
A little more information is needed:
What does the 3 color screen tell?
What happens if you execute a ROM update?
How do you try to make the ROM update, shipped ROM (which) or a cooked ROM (which)?
Has the device ever worked?
Which ROM was on the device before it got stuck in bootloader (3 color screen)?
Tri-color screen meant by bootloaderit (red, green, blue). When I try to update the ROM, it shows that it would be done, but the re-launch the bootloader all the time. Try a different ROM, which is designed for the HTC Qtek 8310 and the Tornado. WM6, WM61 and WM65. WM5 device worked before, more detailed version i dont know. letter on the screen IPL: 2.00 SPL: 2.00.0009
It seems that the loaded ROM does not succeed to load. If you load a shipped ROM everything outlined below should be done automatically for you, so if that does not work as well, then the device may be broken. So check first if you can load a shipped ROM again.
For cooked ROMs you need to prepare the BINFS to match the size of a ROM before you load it. As you succeed in loading any ROM, the device seems to be CID unlocked already. Check the following:
Connect the device in bootloader mode. Switch off, then keep camera button pressed and insert USB cable.
Disable USB for Active Sync (Connection settings of AS).
startup a terminal program that can connect via USB (e.g. TTerm pro)
connect ot the USB port
press enter
Command prompt appears
enter "info 2" (no quotes) enter
read the last line, it should give something like "HTC SuperCID". If not, then you must CID unlock the device first. Lookup the relevant threads for the cooked ROMs or search for Lokiwiz.
If the device is already SuperCID, then you must match the BINFS formatted size to be larger or equal the ROM size (OS partition). For most cooked ROMs it is the binary file size. Relevant actions are also described in some cooked ROM threads, e.g. mine - see my signature.
What is shipped ROM? Original Rom? I do not have it.

WARNING: This tool is highly experimental!
I will NOT be held responsible for any problems caused by this tool.

CID unlocking mobile... DO NOT DISCONNECT UNTIL THE PHONE REBOOTS!
What i try next?
IF your OS is not up, then the lokiwiz will not do anything to your device!
With THIS status you should not succeed in doing any update or format your BINFS. You first need to get the original OS up and running again before you van get any further on changing your OS. The steps to take are:
Get old OS running up again
Application unlock the old OS
CID unlock the device (backup your *.bin files!)
load new OS
1.) is your problem currently. There are several ways to achieve this, try a hard-reset first, this should work for your device:
switch off device
press L+R softkey and hold both
switch on device and keep L+R softkey pressed
wait until prompt and act accordingly
device will reboot to OS
OK now?
I do not have the original OS or even the old OS. After a hard reset as well as the OS does not come up.
# Switch off the Device
# Softkey Press L + R and hold Both
# Switch the device and keep L + R softkey presses
Press 0 to restore factory default. Other key to exit
I press 0
After hard reset load the bootloader again.
OK, then you need to load the CID matching old OS via the shipped ROM standard procedure. Look to: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Tornado/ and get 8310_2090_253121_020900_to_dan_eur_ship.exe
Execute it on the PC while the device is connected in bootloader mode. If that does not work, then try other ROMs in the same directory until you succeed with the loading.
Mind that a first boot takes 3-5 minutes, so be patient if the bootloader is not coming up any longer. Also do not interrupt the ROM loading in the first steps when the upload has started. It is normal that there are phases where the progress bar does not move. I think the sequence is per partition (IPL, SPL, Splash, OS): load to RAM (bar progressing), load from RAM to ROM = flashing (no bar progress, but color change of bar at the end). The large OS partition is loaded at the end of the sequence so the second step will take some time - be patient.
Good luck!
I try all ROM's but always give me ERROR 294 INVALID VENDOR ID.
And now the phone does not start anymore. No picture. I dont know what happend
This seems to prove that the device has something broken.
Make sure that the battery gets charged while the device is off. Despite the device was connected to USB all the time there is no charging happening in bootloader mode. Wait until the green light is there again before you continue - power drain in bootloader mode is quite heavy.
When none of the shipped ROMs work for upload, it really gets hard to load back an OS running on that for further steps :-(
There is a procedure called "Gold Card method", the rough procedure is (only did that once years back - so this is no step-by-step guide):
Prepare the card so that the bootsector contains the magic device specific "Gold Card" signature. For that you need a trial version of PSAS, and a working windows mobile device(!).
then you would have to load the *.nbh file that gets uploaded to the device (and fails) to that mini-SD card root directory,
rename it to TORNIMG.NBH there
load the card to the device,
then reboot to bootloader (Camera + on)
and hope it gets it loaded
A detailed procedure is described for the Excalibur device but this works equally well for Tornado if you adjust the relevant parts (PSAS is the success of QMAT). Mind that the miniSD card should be in really good condition (fresh full format, check that the file loaded can be read byte-identical from it). If the loading from the card fails or corrupts the IPL/SPL while loading then your device is really bricked. It happened to me with an Excalibur (read the whole thread linked above) - so be extra careful (though - what do have to loose?)!

Warning: Follow these steps. All of them. If you do, it will work. If you misread or miss a step or skip a step because you are hurrying through the process, it WILL brick your tablet. Flashing is a relatively simple process but it requires patience. If you don't have the time to read all of the directions and follow them, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO FLASH, and stick with your old firmware.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS ROM HAS CAUSED. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY CLONES OF THIS TABLET, DON'T EXPECT IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY.

Note: I'm not so good in English and grammar, so bear with me. The images is not so clear co'z im using webcam for fast capture and focusing.
If I made mistakes, corrections are welcome.

This guide is for Windows XP, I'm windows7 user before but I downgrade because I want to use my other old softwares for flashing. If you get the idea you can do this also on windows7.
------------------------------
NOTE:
- For windows7 user Run As Administrator the IUW application.
- 64bit Operating System may not work with IUW application.
------------------------------
NOTE: If your tablet showing version 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) or 0.6.1.2(587) Then you can skip some part of the guide. Scroll down directly to the "Alternative Solution" using MicroSD burning. You still need to download the Android 2.2 Froyo Main Firmware.
------------------------------
:: Preparing the Male to Male USB Cable :: (if you have one skip this)
Ok let's start, what you need is a male to male USB cable, if you don't have one you can make your own male to male cable.
Tools
- 2 USB Cable
- Scissor or Cutter
- Electrical Tape or anything to cover the exposed wire
- Solder Lead (Optional)
- Soldering Iron (Optional)
1. Cut each USB to the nearest tip of the female, to make your USB cable longer.
2. Cut each end of the USB to expose the wires and copper wires.
3. Now you can connect each end of the USB, and twist each wires, you can solder it if you like.
4. Now you can tape each wires, and tape all the wires.
This is the finish product.
:: Preparation for Files and Flashing Procedures ::
*Note: Please PM me if there are missing links.
Download IUW 1.1 Flashing Tool
Download Firmware V2852
Download Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) working camera
Download Main Android 2.2 Froyo ROM with Flash 10.1
Download New Ramdisk image to change the path of save files to SDCard1
Download Extra Tools Apps
Updated ROM: 25.11.2011
Download Firmware Froyo 2.2 v2.5 #4325
------------------------------------------------------------
:: Clean up the tablet files ::
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe data/factory reset
- then reboot.
Remove all microSD so that it will not start burning if you have firmware on your microSD.
Visit this link how to clean the data for your tablet.
------------------------------------------------------------
:: Let's Start ::
1. Make a Folder on your desktop for fast track of your files, I named it Froyo 2.2 and save all your downloaded files here.
2. Download IUW Flashing tool, and save it inside the folder of your desktop.
3. After download, unpack it inside the folder.
NOTE: Your tablet should be full charged, and connect the charger while flashing, just to make sure it will not drain much power on your tablet. Don't forget also to remove all your MicroSD cards from the tablet.
4. Since your done making your USB Cable, your tablet should be off and plug the other end USB to the PC and plug the other end on your tablet USB Port between the headphone jack and SDCard Slot 1.
5. Open the IUW application, select Link USB on the left side. And on the Link information the DV (driver) is greyed, because it's not detecting the tablet with driver.
6. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC..."
7. A New Hardware notification will pop up on your PC Screen.
(you have 2 minutes to setup this or the tablet will boot normally)
Select Advance, Next.
Browse the driver from your desktop inside the folder "otg_driver"
Then it will install the driver.
The flasher will turn to green.
:: FLASHING V2852 ::
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first.
8. 'Choose a wrapped image' press the "..." button Select the IUS file "WWE10B_Android_393477-v9full.ius"
9. Click 'burn' to flash the tablet.
This picture is flashing the tablet.
10. After burning finishes, plug out the USB cable and press Reset, then restart the device.
:: Flashing UBOOT ::
11. Open UIW application, and connect your tablet USB to PC.
12. Select "Link USB" on "USB Mode:" select "Expert Mode" Uncheck all except "UO".
13. Browse the "u-boot-nand.bin" the one with working camera.
14. After flashing this is the result.
15. Your screen with start to flicker, it will start to initialize.
16. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration.
:: Flashing IMAGES ::
17. Power off your tablet, and prepare again the UIW to flash the main android 2.2 firmware.
18. Click Link USB, and select Expert burn.
NOTE: Use the other Ramdisk.img fix you download, not from the flash10.1-android2.2 folder.
19. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC...", if the Dv is green your ready and click the burn button.
20. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration and your Done!
:: Alternative Solution ::
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method. You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
Lets make a bootable MicroSD, to convert the file size to 700~705MB, you need a MicroSD at least 1GB.
Download WinHex with MicroSD Clone Image.
1. Open your WinHex
2. Click Tools->Disk Tools->Clone Disk->
3. On Source Raw Image: click the file button.
locate the "aben.start sector" file, click open.
4. On Destination Medium: click the drive button.
locate the Physical Media of your card reader/MicroSD, ok.
5. Fill in the Start Sector with 0 (zero).
6. Click OK, and WinHex pop up will appear, click OK and it will start cloning the image file to your MicroSD.
7. A notepad will pop up that you are done cloning the image, close and press OK on the pop up message.
8. Close WinHex, and safely remove the card reader/MicroSD.
9. Plug the card reader/MicroSD again, and do a quick format.
10. If you successfully formated the MicroSD to 700~705MB then create an "android" folder, and copy all the main image files on the folder. And your Done! :: If you fail there are some other reason, some card reader is not working properly, try to find another card reader, if your phone has MicroSD Slot and able to communicate and serve as card reader, you can use this also.
- ramdisk (use the other ramdisk you download)
- system
- uImage
- userdata
some optional or skipped file.
- u-boot-nand (android v2.2)
- zSYS (Flytouch Official Image 3245)
This is what's inside the MicroSD on android folder.
12. After copying the files plug the MicroSD at the top most/Slot 1 between the 2 USB port.
13. And Power On your Tablet, and it will start Flashing just like here on the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3
You can also use this MicroSD to downgrade back to 3245 firmware.
Thank you.

Can you see the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo?
If you can see it then you are ready to update using MicroSD method.
@smarkies
no there is no version number
first time I connected to pc it said found new hardware but no driver. There I selected the otg driver in the package.
Burntool does connect and goes up from 0 to 100 procent (very quick about 7 secs.) when i burn but when i check im still on my previous build.
After that I tried to update to other firmware using update.zip on winhexed sd card. This did work so now I am on 1623 build.
after that I tried again using burntool but still didnt work out.
In the folder containing the 2852 rom there are also two folders
0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and
0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005
both contain uboot and uboot nand files is there something I have to do with them before I can flash?
Any advice?
Other thing I noticed: in recovery menu there is a line saying:
e:can't open / cache / recovery / command
It didnt stop me from update with update zip but could it be the reason burntool isnt working for me?

Try to burn the UO first, u-boot-nand.bin the one with working camera, if not try this another u-boot-nand.
Then burn the Main Image Android Rom.
Thanks for the quick repy to be sure I wont Brick my Pad
for the uo file I use Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) or uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587)
and for the ROM files I only use files from the 20110416-v1001 folder?
If so I will burn right away

I abused my pad flashing many times, and still it is alive, It will brick if your USB cable is poorly made, or overpowered that will fry the motherboard of your tablet, just like what happen to other people.
the safest way to flash is microSD, but it is tricky with this froyo update that's why I risk on flashing using USB.
V 0.6.1.2(587) this one has working camera. But you can try both uboot to display the version under the InfoTMIC logo. But I use V 0.6.1.2(587) coz I want the camera to work fine.
Yes the files inside the 20110416-v1001 folder except for the u-boot-nand inside.
If the USB flashing doesnt work you can try the alternative, using the microSD.
Thank u very very much worked like a chime.
camera and wifi are working I used uo V 0.6.1.2(587)
will play with it tonight to see what else it can do now

Thank you for the confirmation.
Confirm this again.
First: WWE10B_Android_393477-v9full.ius burn
Second: UO burn
Third: Main Image burn
Check my post, applanet can help you with that hehehehe.
This is my screen now.
with new virtual keyboard.
I also try swapper2, they say it can improve the performance. This is my Terminal Emulator.
IUW does not work with 64 bit
Please add in the OP that some on other forum sites have confirmed that IUW does NOT work with any 64 bit operating system.
I will link to reference if I come across it again...
For Development USB debugging options for Z4Root, you may also want to link to my post HERE.
quick tip for windows 7 users, picture 6 will not happen, at least it didn't for me, you need to navigate to devices and printers, find the unknown device, and manually install the otg driver
Works as advertised.
I bricked my tab first, but got it up and running again with your step by step guide. Many thanks!
I followed your instruction for SD card and it worked perfectly. I now have the 3925 version on my Superpad and it seems to be working well. Definite improvement on Angry Birds(which I play way too much) and Home Run Battle 3D. WiFI works fine, don't know about GPS or camera as I don't really use them, but I will check just for curiosity sake Seems to be faster and I have had no random lockups that I had with the v5 I had on previously. I will report back as I use it. Thanks for all the great work!

Yes, that's why I made it with Windows XP, and we are aware that 64bit OS is so choosy in terms of software compatibility.
About the USB Debugging, I already made a guide after the Flashing/Burning guide.

If you like to contribute for a guide in windows 7 is welcomed.

How to Root
This was a hard & long trial to get this phone rooted. Though, it's a very simple way found by me and yuweng, thanks bro!
Based on yuweng's tutorial : MT6577 CWMR Root Updated V2[/b]
Download these and follow the tutorial:
ADB.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?11cbu388oqu8amw
All the Drivers I could find - http://www.mediafire.com/?wfr5fgkxkdau6w4
CWMR Recovery's.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?2r30o428558h22q
MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?h22puc8kac6axv7
SP Flash Tool v2.1134.00.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?ob5caeigzc1ga10
SP Flash Tool v3.1224.0.sn85.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?5u29nf4fp4omw9n
Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?fee3e7cta5mg3fp
- Setting up the folders and phone (to make it easy)
1. Create a folder in C:\ called "GooApple"
2. Extract all the ZIP files EXCEPT "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to "C:\GooApple\" so you have 6 folders in GooApple.
3. And copy "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to "C:\GooApple\"
4. I prefer doing a factory reset before doing this.
* Factory reset can be found at Settings > General > Privacy > Factory data reset > Reset phone
5.Now enable Unknown sources, USB debugging and Stay Awake.
* Unknown sources can be found at Settings > Store.
* USB debugging and Stay Awake can be found at Settings > Store > Development.
6. Make sure all drivers are installed properly. Some might install when connecting the USB.
7. Turn off your phone and unplug your USB cable from the phone (Let the USB be in your computer/laptop)
- Backup your own recovery (not required but suggested)
8. Open "Flash_tool.exe" from version "3.1224.0.sn85".
9. Click on File > Open Scatter-loading file, then browse to "C:\GooApple\MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146" and open "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt".
10. Click on the Read back tab (top). (If there is anything in the list, please Remove it.)
11. Click on Add and double click on the ROM_1.
12. Now type recovery.img at Filename, then browse to "C:\GooApple\MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146\SPFT_UPLOAD" and click Save.
13. In the popup, select
* Type: Hex
* Read Method: Read Page Only
* Start Adress: 0x980000
* Length: 0x00500000
And click Ok
This info can be found when loading the Firmware.info in MTK Rom Studio
14. Click on Read back. Now hold the "Volume -" button and insert the USB in your phone. It should say OK at the end.
Now you have a backup of your original recovery.img in case you want to restore it.
- Installing CWM Recovery (REQUIRED FOR ROOTING!!)
14. Go to the CWMR Recovery's folder, then choose if you want the Standard CWM or the Touchscreen CWM and copy the recovery.img included to "C:\GooApple\MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146"
* Standard CWM is controlled by Volume up and down. Touchscreen CWM is controlled by both.
15. Open "Flash_tool.exe" from version "2.1134.00".
16. Click on Scatter-loading and browse to "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" in MTK Rom Studio and open it. (Click OK on the popup)
17. Now make sure everything is unchecked EXCEPT "RECOVERY". (Don't forget that your phone should be turned off and unplugged.)
18. Now click on download and insert your USB cable. It should say OK at the end.
Now you have CWM Recovery installed.
- Rooting the phone
19. Start your phone and connect to USB Storage Mode.
20. Copy "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to the ROOT of your SDcard. And turn off USB Storage (but keep your USB in)
21. Now boot your phone into recovery mode. There are 2 methods, I prefer method #2 as it's more safe and works most often. (Someone's phone kept vibrating while doing method #1)
* Method #1:
- Shut off your phone (wait untill it vibrates to make sure it's completely off).
- Hold the "Volume +" button and the "Power" button.
- You now are in recovery or your phone keeps vibrating.
* Method #2:
- With your phone on, start "cmd.exe" as administrator on your PC.
- Type "cd C:\GooApple\ADB" (without the "") and press enter.
- Type "adb reboot recovery" (without the "") and press enter again.
- Your phone shall reboot in recovery.
22. In recovery, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and select "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip". Select "Yes - Install ..."
* Recovery Controls (Standard CWM)
Volume + = UP
Volume - = DOWN
Power = Select
Home = Go to +++++Go Back+++++
23. Once completed, select Go Back, and select wipe data/factory reset.
24. Now select "reboot system now".
And here we go... Your GooApple V5+ is Rooted !
Thanks again yuweng for the support !

How to Increase Internal Memory - INT2EXT method (ROOT required)
"INT2EXT on MT6575 / 77 for the extreme gamers !" for GooApple V5+ thanks to yuweng !
- NOTE: THE PHONE TENDS TO BE SLOWER AS IT HAS TO LOAD FROM THE SDCARD
Based on yuweng's tutorial : http://www.mediafire.com/view/?7zjz4onhos826bk
Download and/or install and extract these:
MiniTool Partition Wizard (Home edition) - http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
INT2EXT-mtd.7z (Includes install-recovery.sh) - http://www.mediafire.com/?16psto1xqw4b0s0
Notepad++ (To edit install-recovery.sh) - http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.3.html
ES File Explorer File Manager - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd
BACKUP YOUR GOOAPPLE V5+ WITH CWMR
1. First I installed and opened MiniTool Partition Wizard and mounten my SD card (32gb & Class10) with going in USB Storage Mode.
2. In MiniTool Partition Wizard, I selected my drive and resized it from 29gb to 26gb (FAT32).
3. Then I selected the remaining 2.5-3gb and created a new partition : Primary , Ext4 , 4kb. Don't forget to click Apply at the top left.
4. Then I extracted INT2EXT-mtd.7z and installed Notepad++.
5. With Notepad++ , I opened install-recovery.sh and changed unbind to bind in lines 61, 66, 71 and 98. Then saved it.
6. Now I copied the EDITED install-recovery.sh to the root of my /sdcard/ (Location when you open your phone).
7. Having ES File Explorer File Manager (EFEFM) installed, give it Root acces via the Settings at the bottom (check everything at root settings).
8. Next, select install-recovery.sh in EFEFM and copy it to /system/etc/ and give it full read/write/execute acces.
9. After this is done reboot your phone. For me, after the first boot it just shutted off. So then I had to power it on again and I had 2.6gb internal memory.
Hooooorah ! :good:
Thanks again yuweng for the files, info, tutorials and time !

Change BOOT logo to iPhone's Apple
So this will change the boot logo of your GooApple from an Android logo to Apple logo.
The things you need:
The boot images - http://www.mediafire.com/?363hvgcmw46wl6w
ES File Explorer File Manager or Root Explorer
1. Extract the iphoneboot.zip to your /sdcard/ so you have /sdcard/system/logo/...
2. Open the file manager, browse to /sdcard/ and copy the system folder.
3. Next go to the root of your phone and change the permissions to R/W.
4. Now paste the system folder here so it overwrites the system logo files.
5. Reboot your phone and voila, now you have the iphone boot !
____________________
Tips&Info
- Make 3 backups of your phone through CWM Recovery because some might get corrupt.
- Use Titanium Backup Pro or a similar tool to remove unused/chinese system apps.
- The MTK6575 can be compared to the PowerVR processor. So the PowerVR games work on the GooApple V5+.
____________________
Custom Recovery *.img
CWM Recovery v6.0.2.7 - Standard Version (MTD partition)
CWM Recovery v6.0.2.7 - Touchscreen Version (MTD partition)
TWRP Recovery - Touchscreen (MTD partition) : Make sure when doing a backup you choose "External".
____________________
Change BUILD.PROP for more compatibility of Apps&Games
Your phone is being recognized as a Android Alps phone which a lot of apps don't even recognize.
So the best thing you can do is change your "build.prop" a little to increase the compatibility.
For example, yesterday I bought N.O.V.A. 2 which says it's not compatible (but it is).
1. Open Root Explorer or something similar.
2. Go into /system/ folder. Make sure the folder is R/W.
3. Press and hold on build.prop then select "Open in Text Editor".
4. Next, change the following.
- ro.product.model=GT-I9000
- ro.product.brand=samsung
- ro.product.name=GT-I9000
- ro.product.device=GT-I9000
- ro.product.board=GT-I9000
- ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
5. Then go back and it will ask you to save it. Save it.
6. Now reboot your phone and try again with more compatibility !

ROM (standard and v5+4s_a116_ios_root_12.11.16_Launcher)
- Get GPS to work on my phone. (Still don't know if it's just me or the phone.)
- Change the USB Storage Mode image to something like the iPhone by editing Framework-res.apk.

ROM (v5+4s_a116_ios_root_12.11.16_Launcher only)
- Remove all the chinese icons in "Google Pinyin IME" keyboard and add AZERTY for Belgium and France.
GooApple V5+ Manual
Thanks to "Q" for looking up this valuable information !
How to take a screenshot:
Tap both the "Home"-button and "Power"-button simultaneous. If you have sounds activated, you'll hear a shutter sound.
How to force restart:
Deep at the bottom of the 3.5 headphone jack there is a restart-button. Use a small tool like a bent paperclip or toothpick to reach it.
You can use this restart-button if your phone freezes and can not be restarted using the normal power-button.
THIS IS A LIFESAVER !
Recovery-menu explained:
The Recovery-menu is a boot-menu that can be used to backup, restore, clean cache or change ROMs in your GooApple phone.
This menu can be either in English or Chinese and may vary slightly depending on what type of Recovery came pre-installed on your phone.
You can install a different Recovery-menu on your phone like CMWR / TWPR
To access the Recovery-menu:
- Turn off your phone.
- Press and hold the PLUS-button and POWER-button on your phone until you arrive at the recovery menu.
NOTE: Depending on ROM and Recovery-version, you may actually need to press MINUS-button and POWER-button to access the Recovery-menu
Factory-test-menu:
This can be used to test the hardware functionality of your phone.
To access the Factory-test-menu:
-Turn off your phone.
-Press and hold the PLUS-button and POWER-button on your phone then lose it and hold it again after the vibration.
NOTE: It doesn't always work so you really need the perfect timing.
Navigating the user-interface:
This menu you can close running apps on the background so pretty usefull sometimes.
- Double-tap the "Home"-button shows running/standby apps and possibility to close apps by long-pressing icons in deployed menu.
- Double-tap the "Home"-button at the unlock-screen will show you the music player and a button to quickly acces the camera.
- Hold the "Home"-button to acces Wallpaper and Settings faster.
- Pressing the "+"-button when using the camera will take a picture.
NOTE: Double tapping must have some kind of pace in pressing these 2. If you do it too fast, ut doesn't work.. but too slow, it doesnt work either, so it has to be right.
- "Long-pressing" an icon in the menu makes the icons jiggly so you can change the position of your icons by dragging them to a desired position or on another icon to create a folder.
- "Long-pressing" the MINUS-button can bring up a menu in some applications. - UNCONFIRMED
Trouble hanging up a phone-call?
- Holding the phone vertically during a call turns off the screen (if the light-sensor has been covered).
- Holding the phone horizontally for a few seconds, will turn the screen on again and display the "End call"-button.
NOTE: Make sure you never double-tap the "Home"-button during a call. It will minimize the calling session so you will still be calling in the background. So make sure you always press the "End call"-button.
Change user interface language
If you cleared user data when installing a new ROM, the phone is likely to boot up in Chinese. Follow these steps to change it back to English:
- Press the Settings-button (you can probably identify this by its icon).
- Select the 9th option (General)
- Select the 8th option (International)
- Select the 1st option (Select language)
- Select your language.
NOTE: If you want some influence of your native language, you can install MoreLocale2 from GooglePlayStore. Some apps will be in your native language.
How to change the IMEI-number:
To change the IMEI number, you most likely will have to use MTKdroidTools from MediaFire.com.
It has an option to change the IMEI number but for this, you will need:
- the ADB drivers to be installed.
- A new IMEI number with what you want to change the original one.
- Phone connected to your computer.
How to add more Ring, SMS, Notification - sounds on your GooApple:
- Connect the phone to a computer in USB Storage Mode.
- Create the following folders on your SD-card:
- Ringtones
- Alarms
- Notifications
- Move your own sounds into the appropriate folder.
- Adjust the sounds-settings on your phone here:
- Ring-tone: Settings>Audo profiles>General>Voice call ringtone
- SMS-tone: Settings>Auido profiles>General>Notification ringtone
- Alarm-tone: Enter your Clock-app and add a new alarm and you should be presented with ringtone-options.
How to remove the backcover and change the MicroSD:
You might want to remove the backcover to change the MicroSD card or maybe even to change the cover.
To remove the cover:
- Unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of your phone. You need a special screwdriver for this.
- Slide the back cover up once the screws are removed.
To change the MicroSD:
- Having the cover removed, you will see the SD card to the left of the battery trapped in some aluminium cover.
- Slide the aluminium cover to the left and now you can remove the SD card.
To put the cover back on:
- Put the cover back in its place, then drag it down (instead of up to remove it).
- Put the 2 screws back

1. Charge your phone completely (100%)
2. Download and install Mobileuncle MTK Tools from Google Play.
3. Go to Settings > Location Services and turn off everything here. Also turn off WiFi.
4. Now turn off your phone. Then turn it back on and enable WiFi.
5. At Settings > Location Services

They say it works for MTK 657x models but it doesn't work for me. I keep getting red dots instead of green.
Drivers
Hi,
My Gooapple V5+ arrived.
I'm quite lost since no manual inside and this is my first android.
Regarding the rooting issue, I first decided install drivers. As I read, the process is connecting USB to PC and wait for Windows to ask something and then navigate to MT6575 USB VCOM drivers forder.
However, Win7 recognized V5+ as an Android device and installed some drivers, including "My HTC" (?)(!)
Now I can access SD card and maybe something else (I have no idea what) but I can't connect to internet through USB
The big quiestion now for me, in order to root the phone, is how to install drivers properly, bcos we have:
drivers preloader MT65xx
Android ADB Interface
MT6575 USB VCOM drivers
usb_driver
usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_ZTE_v821
I have a Win7 x64 laptop
About the GPS, I have just attempt fix my possition with "MAPS", but despite I downloaded some file, I can't fix possition bcos I'm indoors now.
Thanks for any comments
I'm not sure how the USB thetering works but I'll look into it.
About the drivers. I do it like this: plug it in, then choose the DRIVERS folder and let it choose automaticly.
Android device is correct, but I haven't seen the HTC one though, I'd recommend uninstalling that one.
But really , it can do a lot if you just plug it in, let it search the driver automaticly (don't select any specific folder, just DRIVERS if you really need to).
Also the VCOM driver is more for when you're about to flash your recovery through SPFT which it will install automaticly.
If you need any "personal" help on rooting it, feel free to ask, I'll support you via skype/facebook/teamviewer.
And I too am using Win7 64bit
It seems that Win7 installs a Google pack of USB drivers when detects Android devices.
Maybe this one I found:
softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Google/Google-USB-Driver-Revision4.
And bcos GooApple is not in the list, Win7 chooses HTC that has 6575 chip aswell.
I will try to uninstall "My HTC" but Windows prefer this to any in the DRIVERS folder, perhaps is more up-to-date.
Any way, automatic driver download/installing maybe problematic with this phone.
Thanks a lot for support. I will need some days to become familiar with the phone before the next level
Thank you, is a very useful guide ! :good:

Ehm it shouldn't say GooApple V5+ in device manager.
For me it says Android Phone > Android ADB Interface and when I turn on USB storage, I just get Portable Devices: G:\.
So yeah, strange it uses HTC. And sorry that I cannot explain properly how to install the drivers because I just installed a few drivers , uninstalled some and installed some other and it worked.
But the most important thing is that the VCOM driver is installed. Which will automaticly install once you try the *Read Back* method. OR this might work too:
Turn off your phone. Plugin the USB cable in your computer but not in the phone (yet).
Now hold the Volume + button and then insert the USB cable into your phone. I think now, it should install the VCOM drivers automaticly.
And no problem Anhuc ! I haven't had time to test some things as I'm in a period of getting a job for the rest of my life
Drivers Problem Fixed!!
Well, for some reason my V5+ only accept VCOM driver if press "+" when plug-in USB in phone OFF, as you suggested.
If connect USB to PC with phone "ON" it ONLY accepts Android ADB Composite Interface, as you said.
So thanks everybody for suggestions and comments. I thing the first challenge overcome :good:
PS:
About the HTC driver I had first, maybe it was bcos I had MOBILE-EDIT software, wich installs many drivers, so I had to remove it from ControlPanel/Pograms/Unistall
But after it, connected phone to PC and it installed automatically "My HTC" driver again
So removed driver from DeviceManager and also removed Google Android USB Package from PC execiting "pnputil.exe -e" in command prompt, to see the OEM# of package, then removed with "pnputil.exe -d Oem#.inf"
Seems extrange but works great. (see details here: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx)
I have taken some screen shots of this in case someone need.
Hope may help people with persistent drivers....

Good to hear that Q and thanks for sharing the information on what was causing it !
It can always help someone else out who has the same issue.
Anyways, I guess you can get to the part of flashing the phone with CMWR right?
I suggest jus reading the first part of the Rooting untill installing CMW and start there as thats the basic thing you need to do as the files I uploaded already include the patched recovery.img.
To see some pictures, check this out : http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8mxvy0ey5yfdu59 page 16 thats basicly how to Download recovery.img to your phone. But always follow my tutorial or ask me to do it for you
GPS without signal
Yes, I downloaded averything from v5+ tutorial and carefully read and understood this excellent work.
However, manage GPS to work is my priority now.
Is there any light in the dark?
I tried and tried, downloaded EPO files, used MTK Tools and even installed an iGo My Way version compatible with Retina screen.
One hour in the field and only saw a little signal bar of one satellite (if it was a satellite) but no points (red or green) at all in MTK Tools.
Have someone seen at least a single pretty point in the grid?
Thanks for any help.

Ooh thanks for helping out.
I do get red dots yeah but they don't turn green :/
Things you could try is
Download GPS Status & Toolbox : Launch GPS Status & Toolbox. You'll see a compass and some other stats. Hit the menu button for more options.
Make sure you have an active data connection and go to "Manage A-GPS State". Then, tap the "Download" button in the menu that pops up. When it's done, exit the app.
And another thing that made me come closer was changing the gps.conf but I dont remember what tool to use. You can do it manually though. (It's located in system/etc)

Ok, I need the V5+ rooted to get access to system/etc....
After reading e/t in tutorial, just a stupid question: " I will loose all changes after flashing, and will need to begin again with configurations?"
I think I know the answer

I don't think so, you can still do it without losing everything.
Just flash the recovery.img, then install the rooting zip and you're good to go !
And if you need help rooting this baby, I can do it for you in 2 hours from now

Non responding at all, all black.
But reset from 3.5mm jack and all ok again.
Will do another backup from factory setings, just in case...

Well, something bad happened.
Afetr the backup opperation tha finished OK, it has a wrong behaviour with battery icon.
Sometimes show the pugged icon and others a ray inside.
When turn off, it finish ok and then vibrates, but a few seconds later the battery icon charging fills the scren (unplugged of course) and few seconds later disappears.
Not a big problem, but after it I tried a second backup after factory settings restore and this time when plug USB on phone while pressing "-" nothing happens. PC do nothing (not installing drivers as before) and flash_tool can't finish the last part of procedure.
I even used differnt cable but nothing. USB parameters are as suggested....
Please help!
Thanks

Are you using the correct version of SPFT?
For read back you need the v3... (use -) for download you need v2.... (dont use -)
And yeah with this recovery, and root everything works the same !
fixed

Nothing worked to make it responding to USB...
Cables ok, config of USB ok too....
Decided opening phone and release power from battery cables.
I have never did it before but succeed on it
Now repeated opperation and made a successful backup in factory settings
Again I had to reset from 3.5mm jack
All ok, no problems (perhaps battery icon, but not sure)
Will continue rooting later
