rewrite version android on gooapple v6
hello
I just read your post, and I have a problem.
I can't root my gooapple V6 because the software (superoneclick) see my version as a "ios5" and not as'' android 2.3. "How can I rewrite my version on the phone.
thank you

If you use the sw superoneclick and it's not able to unlock your phone, you unfortunately don't have the same phone.
So the problem in your phone is in the file build.prop; You must search a sw buildprop editor to modify the phone sw version which work without superuser permissions.
Bye

Gooapple is Google + apple Ha Ha

thanks rdxdel
I try this solution in the week

[ROM] GooApple V.5 / Goophone 4S (NOT 3G) ''Bestrom.v.4''

IMPORTANT UPDATE 1:
As of yesterday (April 21, 2012), I don't have the ability to update/install or experiment with my phone anymore. All of a sudden after an hour's charge, the screen has seized to function. All I have is a blurry, cloudy black and white screen.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 2:
I've contacted android-sale for a solution; and I have to admit that the guys were very helpful. I was thinking of paying the extra $ for the newest Y5 model; but at this moment (May 22, 2012) is not yet available so I went for the MeizuMX (dual core, 1.4GHz Samsung CPU).
As you can understand, from now on, my rom development for GooApple V.5 comes to an end. Also, I can only provide help from memory regarding this rom. I 'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to you.
--------------------------
This thread is dedicated on which is the best rom for GooApple V5; thus it's called Bestrom. It's purpose is to provide the most functional rom available which is able to solve ALL the issues this phone's original roms had. In version 4, I've been based on Von275's (www.anexonel.tk) fine work (version 2.1), tried to make it more stable, eliminate F/C issues and added some bits n pieces here and there. Detailed list follows:
Instructions on how to install it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21847185&postcount=198
This is a recovery image taken from my phone via Chinese recovery.
What's inside:
01. This is called ''Bestrom v.4'' and it's based on von275's 2.1 custom rom.
02. FAST iOS UI.
03. Working Wifi based location services & GPS.
04. QuickBoot.
05. RootExplorer.
06. RootUninstaller.
07. Gmail & Google Apps preinstalled.
08. Automatically Syncing Calendar and Contacts.
09. SlideIT keyboard & Greek input method.
10. Default locale set to English.
10. Rom is already rooted.
11. MoboPlayer (Best performance Video player for V5)
12. Documents 2 Go.
13. Adobe Flash 11.
14. Dolphin Browser HD.
15. Advanced Task Manager.
16. Removed Smartkeyboard of Von275's rom.
You can download the rom from here:
Bestrom v.4: http://www.mediafire.com/?k635fc2dvnc6emu
Make sure you clear / wipe cache BEFORE restoring. Helps a lot avoiding Force Closing some programs.

02. Working Wifi based location services AND GPS (faint signal on my place)
03. QuickBoot
04. RootExplorer
05. RootUninstaller
06. Latest Gingerbread apps: Market, GoogleMaps, Latitude, CarHome, Talk, Navigator etc.
07. Automatically Syncing Calendar and Contacts.
08. Greek Input method (It's a free alternative to the chinese QQ)
09. Default locale set to English (from Chinese)
10. Rom is already rooted.
The rom link is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0c4hec3pko45p6
What's NOT inside: GooglePartnerSetup.apk. It kept killing itself for no apparent reason. Other than that I've decided to keep most of the Chinese apps, just in case any people out there want some of them. You can uninstall any unneeded apps via RootUninstaller which is already inside the rom.

Hi macsga,
can I just load it via the restore option, or do I have to install the gooapple_ios_12.01.14 rom first. I'm still running the gooapple_ios_11.12.29, and restored the bestrom v2.
You just need to restore it. The only drawback I've found out is that an embedded script turns the chinese Clockworkmod back to the official English one; that means you need to reflash the chinese c/w everytime you need to restore any other rom.
Sorry about that.

A small question, does bestrom v3 runs so faster like bestrom v1? Because in v1 the main screen scrolls perfectly and I dont want to change to a slower version.. Great job, and thanks!!

You're welcome! I can tell that v3 runs smoothly. It also has features that v1 didn't (like GPS fix). I'd say you make a backup first and try. If you don't like it you can always revert.
I tried this version. Unfortunately, it has become far worse than the previous one. That's what I have seen:
- Used an older version of iLauncher
- The status bar is not transparent
- A bug with the device going to sleep (if you just press the "Back" button, we have a blank screen)
- Not the correct definition of my ISP provider. (Baikalwestcom instead AKOS-GSM)
- No reaction to the long press "Back" button
- Cached background process - SuperUser in the task manager written in Chinese characters
- The keyboard has only one language - the system language, for a set of English language is necessary to change the whole the device language
PS: 3rd screenshot - the original ROM (Transparent status bar; AKOS-GSM)

I am now using the latest version of anexonel's http://anexonel.webs.com/downloadlinks.htm which is FAR better than my v3 one. So far I find it a perfect choice. Thanks for the comments.
Unfortunately, the firmware "Anexonel's modified chinese rom V2" contains more fatal bugs. Including:
- Slow down scrolling working screens
- The lack of localization (English only): Calendar, LockScreen and more other .apk
- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart
- No Icons SuperUser! (Root is)
- Broken Calculator - does not fit the entire series
- Does not stretch application icons. Wafers under the application icons are missing.
- Settings -> General -> SIM Tools = system crash
- Is not correctly working SystemUI.apk (not compatible with FrameWork)
- Wi-Fi - so slow, losing connection, the phone warms
In my opinion, the most stable version of the firmware, it is devoid of most of the problems - GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_ (rom.gooapple.com). zip [148,626,630 bytes]
It was posted on the official site, but a very short time. I personally use it.
A working Wi-Fi, GPS, Settings, SystemUI, very good software of radio module. Excellent localization. Adroid version 2.3.6 (Install to Phone / SD-Card - present)
Of the cons:
- Replaces preloader.img in English! (return via MobileuncleTools.apk, and delete - system\recovery-from-boot.p)
- No Root (helps - GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH)
- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart
- Lost the original apple logo (replacement restores "boot_logo" and "bootanimation.zip" is not enough, one has to flash boot.img [6,291,456 bytes]

I'd like to test it, if you like to share it. Please upload it and share the link. If it's like what you're suggesting I'd be more than happy to provide a rom based on this. From my personal experience, official releases never got even near GPS fix / NetworkLocation service; plus they presented A LOT MORE lag.
I had to dig very deep to find a *working* apk for both of these. There's a whole thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21947564&postcount=236 (link provided with my 1st attempt of fixing those issues).
In any case; I can only but respect your opinion and try (if you post the link). Thanks in advance.

But today, after installing manufacture version of rom (the same as AndroVet link GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_) i've got an english recovery as he say but rom don't boot! All I can hear is quiet clicks after gooapple logo and black screen. Only hard reset helps to go in recovery menu.
I have no backup for english reсovery. what to do next? How to revive it? I want it back!

OK, thank you!
Problem solved by reinstalling rom package from english recovery. After that it load os and now I can go back to china rec. Ufff!
Solution consists of one step:
- Flash your old preloader.img with "GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH" software
Decision 2:
- Install MobileuncleTools.apk
- Flash your old recovery.img

[ROOT][CWM][ROM's] Lenovo IdeaPhone (LePhone) K860(i)

There are different custom ROM's & root methods for the K860 & K860i. Most of the root methods & ROM's are compatible with both the K860 and K860i. Read the full thread to be sure.
I'll update this post regularly, if there are any changes needed please say so in the thread or PM me (still WIP for adding the latest stuff).
Below you can find everything!
- Root methods & stock ROM's + MOD's/fixes:
There is an APK root method, linked below, or you can use the original not so easy root method:
I did some research on how to root it.
I found some steps on this Chinese website.
What I understand from it is you have to do the following steps to root:
- Set the phone to USB debugging in it's settings
- Make sure drivers are installed and the phone is recognized well by the phone PC software
- Close all the PC phone software applications
- Make sure no other android or smart/USB-device is connected except for the phone itself
- Download this file: root files, download link is also below in the attachment.
- Unzip it and launch the .exe (executable file) with the Chinese characters (should be first .exe in directory)
- The shell/CMD should start the root process
- The phone will automatically restart, don't touch it or any button, don't interrupt the shell program!
- Now after the reboot of the phone you should press any key on your keyboard when asked
- The shell program should continue, the phone will restart again!
- Again press any key to continue and wait for the shell program to reboot your phone for the third time (this can take some time, be patient!)
- When rebooted the "Operation was successful" message should appear in the shell program
- Now your K860 is rooted! Look for the root app in your phone to confirm. If rooting didn't work, try this process again
- Also update the Superuser or superSU app & binaries

I just got this phone/phablet as a gift. Specs are quite a beast: 1.4GHz quad core, 1280x720, 8GB ROM, 8MP camera etc.
Would you know if the Android UI is in Chinese? Right now I have the phone for sale on eBay because as far as I can tell, it's not going to work on AT&T or T-Mobile 3G (or more) in the US.

Yeah, it's only compatible with GSM Tri-band or maybe Quad-band. But WCDMA is only operating at the 2100MHz band (3G). So I guess mobile surfing will probably work but calling (2G) won't work in the US.
Default UI is Chinese, but it should have English in the settings also and maybe even Vietnamese.
I have a K860
I've bought a Lenovo K860, it works fine in Spain. It comes with english and chinese languages. Easily root as you say before. Over 12400 antutu benchmark in my device, but I see until 14500 in others. The camera works perfect and makes awesome photographies. Games and apps runs very fast, GTAIII, Bard`s Tale, PES12, FIFA12, Asphalt 7....
Cons?
Magnetometer compatibility, by the time I don`t found compass app working.
Only chinese development by the moment. In fact there is a recovery.img available and two or three MIUI roms, aal in chinese only:crying:
If you want any other info, contact me, and sorry my bad english.

Magnetometer compatibility, by the time I don`t found compass app working.
Only chinese development by the moment. In fact there is a recovery.img available and two or three MIUI roms, aal in chinese only:crying:

So you can confirm it is rootable with the above tutorial?
I think my previous smartphone (Galaxy Mini) didn't even have a magnetometer, so if that doesn't work properly I think it won't annoy me.

Yes, confirmed, it works perfect for me.
And I`m agree with you, magnetometer isn`t big problem, but it work fine in test, fails the app compatibility, I think it´s a rom fail and it will be solved with updates.

guys, i am based in china and thought about this phone or the haier x5 pad511.

I think yes, you must download gmail.apk, play store, maps.apk, etc, second you must copy and paste with root explorer in/system, and at last open the permissions of any lenovo apk in /system and put the same permissions in google apks.
I hope you understand my bad english.
hi is it easy to replace stock OS? i m in china and want to use english OS and am not sure if the installed OS has google market and so on.
Any advice? would love to run a JB version or MIUI on it
The stock OS has an option to use an English UI. Market and some other Google Apps might not yet be installed.
To do this you can read the following topics:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632945
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
so anyone running the phone on its stock ui or know if the stock ui comes with google play? if not can i just take a g play apk from here and install it on mt k860?
Hello, can I ask to you about the Lenovo.
How about the battery life?
Have stock ui call record?
Have it IP telephony client like in miui?
Thank you a lot

btw. is the UI great or does it make sence to find a miui jelly beans... i m not sure if lenovo does code a JB
I don't really think there is a way without root for the Lenovo.
Someone reported that it works on a Galaxy 5 (i5503) without doing root:
How To Enable Android Market on i5503 or Galaxy 5 and Galaxy S
Filed under: Android by Ahmed Ali — 38 Comments
December 22, 2010
recently i bought Samsung i5503 (Galaxy 5) and i took more than two weeks to be able to use android on my handset
so i decided to share what i got with u .let’s start
U must move your data from internal memory to external memory
there r two method
The First :
1. ensure your handset “Galaxy 5″ is set to use 24-hour format
(applications-> Settings-> date and time -> Use 24-hour format
2. launch the Phone-pad
3. enter the following
*#272* the follow it with the time on the phone (4 digits) then follow it with #
example, the time on my phone now is 15:33 hence I shall enter *#272*1533#
4. the phone shall display a new window
5. select “XSG” and hit “install”
the Phone shall reload and your “Market Apps” icon which be there
this method didn’t work with me but it works with some friends of mine
The Second Method
1. ensure your handset “Galaxy 5″ is set to use 24-hour format
(applications-> Settings-> date and time -> Use 24-hour format
2. launch the Phone-pad
3. enter *#06# and store the number which will appear
4. in the phone-pad write *#272*xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the number u got from step 3
5. the phone shall display a new window
6. select “XSG” and hit “install”
the Phone shall reload and your “Market Apps” icon which be there
enjoy
Thanks To @Khal3d

k860 root
So,did you receive your K860.Is it really possible to root without risk
Arne_B said:
Because I recently bought the Lenovo K860 and am waiting to receive it, I did some research on how to root it.
I found some steps on a Chinese website.
What I understand form it is you have to do the following steps to root:
- Set the phone to USB debugging in the settings
- Make sure drivers are installed and the phone is recognized well by the default phone PC software
- Close all the PC phone software applications
- Make sure no other android or smart/USB-device is connected except for the phone itself.
- Download this file: root files
- Unzip it and launch the .exe (executable file) with the Chinese characters (should be first .exe in directory). Launch it with Administrator privileges.
- The shell should start the root process.
- The phone will automatically restart, don't touch it or any button, don't interrupt the shell program!!
- Now after the reboot you should press a key.
- The shell program should continue, the phone will restart again!
- Again press a key to continue and wait for the shell program to reboot your phone for the third time (this can take some time).
- When rebooted the "Operation was successful" message should appear in the shell program.
- Now your K860 is rooted! Look for the root app in your phone to confirm. If rooting didn't work, try this process again.
I want to note that I'm not responsible for any bricked phone by using this root process! I didn't do it myself yet, so it's all at your own risk!
Also backup all data before rooting the phone!
Because I don't have this phone at the moment I can't try to root it just yet. So if anyone got it rooted using this method, let me know!

No not yet still waiting for it.
I'll update when I have it and post my findings about routing it and putting Google Play and so on it.
Also, I think that someone in this thread has said this method works

[ROM] Feiteng A7100 - Spreadtrum SC6820 - Rooted

Hi,
I'm opening this post to publish the result of some digging and struggling with a chinese device running the Spreadtrum SC6820 chip.
Details of the phone are can be found on http://www.cellphonemic.com/feiteng-a7100
EDIT: The original ROM is created from base firmware version mt6515_c910_ht_en_4.0_v01. Please be careful if your version is different as I have had reports of LCD display issues (greenish colors and ugly pixels). A a sensible approach, please never flash a new ROM without having a backup firmware. Chinese devices often change the chipsets without changing the device version, so it makes it hard to have an universal ROM.
So, let me try to explain the outcome of my work and how to flash the ROM into this device.
First of all, I want to say thanks to pogodancer for his help in my investigation and for providing me the software for flashing the device, as I couldn't get any version to work.
So, getting to the point, I have created 2 versions of the firmware:
Standard Stock ROM - Rooted
This is mostly a copy of the stock rom of the device with the following changes:
- SU binaries included
- SuperUser app added
- Ayu_Sales.apk (CAIVS) application removed - In case you want to know what this app is, check your mobile phone bill. If you find SMS messages sent to chinese numbers (starting by +13) that you have never sent, you now know who to blame
As the ROM is rooted, you can now mount as RW the /system folder and change anything you want.
Link to the firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/?4x9ra4y3e53isjf
Modded Stock ROM - Rooted
This is a modified version of the rom I have done to clean the device from unwanted and chinese software and to add some missing apps. Details are:
- SU binaries included
- SuperUser app added
- Ayu_Sales.apk (CAIVS) application removed
- Go Keyboard (and all its language plugins) removed
- Default Launchers (there were 2) and theme removed.
- ADW Launcher added
- GMail added
- Google Talk added
- Gallery3D substituted by Cool 3D Gallery
And that should be all.
Link to firmware: http://www.mediafire.com/?8i3soi585vjvyfh
Now, for the flashing software, the link to get it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?o9km8vl287ev24j
Instructions for flashing, from pogodancer, are:
0. Be sure to have installed the correct drivers. For my SC6820-device I see 5 items in Win7-32bit-device-manager (ADB-Composite, 2 x COM-ports, 2 x USB devices: all without exclamation marks). You can use the drivers from the package folder "SCI-android-usb-driver-jungo-v4-.rar".
1. Disable just in case your Win7 firewall.
2. Launch "ChannelServer.exe" from package folder "CHANNELSERVER" and allow firewall if asked.
3. Start "ResearchDownload.exe" from package folder "ResearchDownload".
4. In ResearchDownload-application chose firmware with first button (for me: 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_4.0_v01.pac).
5. Be sure that the Baudrate from Win7-Device-Manager-Comports-Settings in CHANNELSERVER equals the Baudrate-settings in ResearchDownload-Settings (second button). I recommend 115.200.
6. Press the Start (Play) button in ResearchDownload-application (third button).
7. Turn off the phone.
8. Keep holding the "- volume" key.
9. Without releasing the button "- volume" plug the usb-cord from phone to Win7 (install the driver if not done before in step 0).
10. The process of firmware-burning should start now in ResearchDownload-application and take approximately 1 Minute. You can release the Vol.Button once it starts.
11. Wait until the firmware-flashing has been finished (A green sign appeares + "Passed" is written in ResearchDownload-application).
12. Remove the battery, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back and turn on the phone (first boot may take a while but not more than 5 minutes).

Please note that I have flashed the phone it in a Windows XP virtualbox machine and I realized I didn't need the CHANNELSERVER application, so I went directly to step 3.
And that should be all. As usual, use this at your own risk and make sure you are flashing the same device or you could get a nice bootloop.
Cheers.
NB: In case anyone is wondering why flashing the firmware instead of directly rooting it, I just want to say I have tried probably all methods that exist (even the last version of Unlock Root that claims being able to root a MocorDroid2.3.5 like this device). I have also tried to do it manually via an ADB shell, but no exploit seemed to work on this model. It is surprisingly horribly well protected. So, after many days of fighting with it I decided it could be a better solution to unpack the firmware, unmount it, modify it and remount it. And, after many attempts (failed as you may imagine) I have been able to get to these 2 working (and rooted!!) versions of the firmware.
Enjoy!!
-- EDITED --
I have just detected that there are two devices looking very similar with same SC6820 chipset, but made by two different manufacturers:
- Feiteng A7100
- TiangJI A7100
If you happen by chance to have the second one, please DO NOT USE the ROM in this post, as it won't work with your device. The TiangJI device includes a TV antenna that the Feiteng does not, so please verify it before flashing your phone (specially if you don't have a stock firmware backup for your mobile phone).
Hi Yekdall,
you are great. Very good job. I guess I only have tried your modded version and it works great !!! Thank you very much for your work.
I am looking for installing Clockwork but I am still stock at the message "flash_image not found". Do you have an idea to solve this ?
Another less important question: I installed the Holo-Locker (beneath the Holo-Launcher), but after booting I see for 2 seconds the Android 2.3 Locker before changing to the Holo-Locker. Do you know how to skip the Android 2.3-Locker ?
Have a nice weekend.
Hi Yekdall,
when you dial:
*#*#556#*#*
then a few seconds you can read "Android" but nothing more happens. Do you have any idea what this dialer-combination is good for ?
Launcher
Hi Yekdall,
I am still testing. It seems that the ADW-Launcher is a bit laggy when you have installed a lot of apps.
Do you want to test the Holo Launcher ? Is it worth to make a new rom with Holo, or should we just delete ADW from system/app and replace it with Holo, but I don't know if that works flawless ?

Hi, I have never tried Holo, but based on the comments in the Market, it could be a better option. I added ADW as I was using it in another Gingerbred device I have and it works very well.
Regarding the phone, your second option should work flawlessly. If you substitute it in the system/app folder and reboot the phone, android will detect the available launcher and use it.
AW: [ROM] Feiteng A7100 - Spreadtrum SC6820 - Rooted
Hi Yekdall,
I tested a bit last weekend. Finally your rom in version 1 (only rooted) is preferred and running.
I replaced ADW with Holo launcher in system/apps. But I did not change the locker because it seems the stock lockscreen can not be removed totally. I deleted the GoLauncher plugins also. At last I put GSAM battery monitor into system/apps.
Then installed 60 apps to the external sd. There were only 4 games not working. On the internal sd I still have 80 mb free. I also installed seeder, maybe it is useful.
All in all I am satisfied. The system is running fine.
But my A7100 has a very weak micro. Do you have any solution to make the micro louder ?

[Q] JXD P1000 Android 4.1 - Any root method ?

Hello Xda team!
I post my first message to go with the purchase of my first Android tablet!
I have been tempted by a JXD P1000 with the following characteristics:
-Cortex A9 2x1.2GHZ
-Capacitif led screen IPS 1024x600 1080p
-Android 4.1 Jelly bean
-Internal memory 8 Go
-External memory 32 Go
-1 Go RAM
-Wifi B/G/N
-Bluetooth
-Front and rear camera 0.3 and 2mpxl
-3G
-GSM
-GPS
I have chosen to read books and to replace my old phone with something new.
However, I come with a lot of questions!
I like to customize what I have, and the first thing I want is to remove embedded applications origins.
I read on the internet "you must have root access", but I have not found a tutorial on google for this new tablet.
I'm pretty novice but I know fend me, which way I must choose for root this unknown tablet?
In advance thank you very much, and have a day!
(Sorry for my approximate English, I'm french)
Hello,
You can find more informations on this tablet here : h ttp://w ww.jxd.hk/products.asp?id=632&selectclassid=009008 (remove spaces)
Thanks in advance,
root for JXD P1000
I have posted about my JXD P1000s at GSM phone arena forum. Google it as I'm not allowed to post a direct link here. I rooted my JXD P100s but this might work on your JXD P1000. My post at GSM forum will direct you back here at xda developers for the rooting tool I used called Vroot version 1.6-updates to 1.7 when you install it, which successfully rooted the P1000s and enabled me to delete all installed programs I didn't need. You will need to connect JXD to computer, the rooting tool installed drivers for me in windows XP which are needed to connect the phone to the computer, look at other posts here regarding that if you need to. I kept the stock factory ROM since everything works fine with it. Note at JXD's website there are two different downloadable versions of the factory ROM for the two JXD "phablets" we are discussing here in case you need it, the P1000 and the P1000s are not the same and need different firmware if you need to re-install that. I did not need to re-install a new ROM or the original factory ROM, just rooted. I could find nothing else that rooted the JXD, this method might be only thing that works on yours also and I tried everything I could find. Good luck, the improvement on mine is definitely noticeable, if only that it gave me more usable phone memory by deleting the factory installed Chinese apps I couldn't use. Yours has more memory so this might not be an issue 512K for P1000 vs. only 256K for the P1000s is noticeable. the P1000 has built-in GPS and 3G, the P1000s only 2G and no GPS and a nicer finish IMO. The OS are supposedly the same, Jellybean Android 4.1 Hope this helps.
