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 !

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)

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)
For Belgium

Okay!
At least I have the dots in grid.
8 satellites in red but no singnal bars :/ after 30 min with all assistance enabled and filter off.
It's very strange, all my GPSs (I have 4 more devices) can get possition from cold in less than 20 min,
Some firmware issue here, I pressume.
I will contunue with this...

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

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

I managed to do a recovery.img of my last configuration.
All ok, except that phone hangs after the OK green circle on PC screen.
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...
what happens after installing CWM Recovery?
can work as normal with phone?
Thanks for 2h supporting
problem!!

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!

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 !

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
To help everyone getting the max out of UMI X1, I'm putting here the info that is spread over the internet.

================================================== =================================
OP1 - Windows drivers installation
http://www.multiupload.nl/BR8XWD3TF4
[Source: MovilesDualSim.com]
(these drivers work with XP, and possibily with earlier Windows versions)<br>
OP2 - ROOT Access
First action: activate USB DEBUGGING mode.
a) Download and install SHUAME software
http://dl.shuame.com/files/1.0.9/ShuameSetup_1.0.9_general.exe
[Source - Shuame.com]
(it's in chinese, but the install is straight forward... next -> next, etc. )
b) Connect USB cable to the phone. Shuame will detect UMI X1, and you'll see a copy of your screen on the computer
c) Make this 2 clicks:
d) On next screen, click on the "blue" button to initiate the process. Phone will restart several times until finished
NOTICE: to un-root, just click the "root" button on the right (with the $ instead of the #)
OP3 - Install a Clockworkmod (CWM) based recovery console
With this step you'll be able to install non-official ROMS (not digitaly signed)
a) Download the new recovery image:
http://www.multiupload.nl/1210059PIM
[Source - MovilesDualSim.com]
b) Execute SHUAME, and click on button "Recovery":
c) click on the "blue" button -> and choose our IMG file -> click on the "blue" button again
The new recovery console will be installed. To access it:
- turn off Umi X1
- press POWER + VOL.UP, until the UMI logo shows up
- if you see a dead Android -> click HOME
- use vol+ and vol- keys to navigate thru options, and the POWER key to select.
Notice: some pre-recovery consoles have other keys, but the instructions are explicit.
Notice: you can make full backups with this recovery console.
OP4 - Install a new ROM
Most UMI X1 comes with ROM Android 4.0.4 - 20120914-215024
Other ROMS most used by the community:
- 4.0.4 (ICS) - "Samsung" style (LINK) - Source: gizhina.com
- 4.0.4 (ICS) - 20121118 - Official with several fixes - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=176071&uk=3022536317
- 4.1.2 (JB) - 20130101 - Official - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=210913&uk=3022536317
- 4.1.2 (JB) - 20130109 - Based on Official, with several fixes - http://www.romzj.com/resources/other.html?view=rom&id=6855&layout=default
- 4.1.2 (JB) - 20130118 - Based on Official, with several fixes - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=270874&uk=3355610835
Notice: this last one needs some additional tweaks:
-> Install GoogleApps via recovery console http://www.multiupload.nl/F6XPEKN0M0
(GoogleApps also available here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip )
-> Copy these Calendar files to /system/app with root explorer and set correct permissions (same as the others) (Source: XDA-Developers - sonof)
-> Install the app "SmartHosts" from the GooglePlay/Market, and update your hosts file in order to make GoogleNews, Facebook, etc. working
[Source1 - ROMJZ.COM]
[Source2 - XDA-DEVELOPERS]
To install a new ROM:
a) copy the ROM ZIP file to the microSD card
b) enter recovery mode - look at the previous question
c) (advisable) make a full backup of the existing ROM
option Backup&Restore -> Backup (it will take long...)
the backup will be on the SD card, folder clockworkmod
d) select option "wipe data / factory reset" -> choose option "YES"
e) select option "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> choose the ZIP file -> "YES"
f) after "reboot system", the new ROM will be operational.
g) in case the ROM has "chinese" language by default, goto settings menu (the settings icon is easy to find) and choose your language:
OP5 - Readjust the internal storage size
Sometimes, after installing a new ROM, the ROM 4GB get wrongly shared between the "internal storage" and the "phone storage".
Since "phone storage" is a kind of SD which is less used than the "internal storage", is advisable to share the space like this:
2,5Gb: apps / internal storage
80Mb: phone storage
Remaining: ocuppied by the Android ROM
To do that, you just have to use one of these ZIP files:
2,5Gb (recommended) http://www.multiupload.nl/89HKJLG1BI
1,5Gb http://www.multiupload.nl/ZLVMPDAO1V
a) copy the ZIP file to the microSD card
b) Enter recovery console
c) Make a full backup
d) Apply update from SDCard -> choose the ZIP (1,5gb or 2,5gb)
e) reboot and restart phone - (it will say that the storage is corrupted, but don't mind it for now)
f) if the space is not OK (eg: still 500Mb), power off -> enter console recovery -> restore your backup
i) after reboot, and after having the desirable space (2.5gb or 1,5gb) you can go with Android suggestion, and format the SDCard -> the error will disapear. (Notice: you are not formating the microSD card, just the "internal phone" storage

OP6 - Correct problems with GPS
There have been a lot of comments about the GPS functionality on this phone, including several tweaks and tutorials, some with hardware changes, etc..etc...
What I have acknowledged, after having 2 original (no modifications) UMI X1 side by side (one with a KFT antenna, and other without it):
1- It's advisable to do some things in order to make the GPS work faster when you need it
2- GPS reception is not extraordinary good, but it also is not bad, and surely not worse than most Android models with GPS, including the ones from Samsung
3- Antenna changes, or metalic foil "upgrades" may or not be positive, regarding increased signal. Whoever wants may try it, but not necessarily needing to damage/open your UMI X1.
4- About the EPO files: there was some problems with Mediatek servers on Nov/2012, but they look to be solved now, so you won't need to download these files via a FTP client. Just let your phone do it!
However, if your EPO files are not downloading, (goes till 25% or 50% and restarts):
- Install app "Root Browser Lite"
- Goto /data/misc
- Change permissions of mtkgps.dat, EPO.DAT and EPO.MD5 to 7777 (read, write, execute, etc..)
- Check that now Android can download and recognize the EPO files (with 1 month between the 2 dates)
What you can DO to make your GPS better and faster:
a) Download GPS.CONF from your country (e.g. this is from Portugal: LINK). Copy it to /etc (delete the one that was there previously)
(alternatively, use the "PIMP MY ROM" software)
b) Reboot
c) Go to an excelent visibility site (if possible, with clear sky)
d) Enter Engineering Mode: dial nr *#*#3646633#*#*
e) EPO TAB: Enable EPO
f) A-GPS TAB: Enable A-GPS
--- Allow network initiated request
--- Allow EM notifications
g) GPS TAB: GPS(ON)
h) Use "GPS TEST" app to clear the A-GPS, and then start checking the sattelite coverage
i) If it is your first time: WAIT... WAIT.. WAIT... It can take 20mins or more to catch the first satellite. then the second one... slowly... until you get a FIX... and then the accuracy will progressively be better
On next usage (even after reboot), the GPS will be ready and probably get a fix in less than 30seconds!
j) Install a navigation Software (eg: Ndrive or one from GooglePlay)

OP7 - Install Flash Player
Just install this app: http://www.multiupload.nl/72WANNVLKP
(it works on Android 4.1.2 JellyBean straight from the standard browser/Navigator, but you can also try Dolphin browser)

What are your experiences on the 15.03 Lewa OS?
Thank you for all the info pal.
Sent from my UMI X1 using xda app-developers app
thanks! i got myself a UMI X1 who had ICS on it but now im on JB and i dont know why but the Shuame tools didnt worked till i read your post xD and i did exactely the same manipulation luckystar? maybe
big thanks:good::highfive:
sadpart my X1 has only a plain black back cover xD i wanted the "carbon" lookalike one :crying: but i will survive :silly:
one thing ... on the description they write : 2G:GSM 850/900/1800/1900 3G:WCDMA 2100mhz normaly isnt the 900mhz 3G too? in my box its written 2G 800/850/1800/1900 3G 900/2100mhz, that bug me a a little since Sunrise have 3G under the 900mhz and i get only Edge when i activate data and 3G in setup, is it a known problem (i've seen some people getting 3g and other dont) does a fix exist or its only operator related?
on the other hand i use my X1 with only one sim (in the W slot since the G is for GSM so i doubt W wouldnt mean WCDMA) what i suspect is : if there is only one sim in the phone does it works by default on 2G only? or am i paranoid...
UMI x1 problems
Hi All
I was just following your procedure for CW recovery and the fist screen i got after the UMI screen was a list off chinese characters in to left corner.
Like other ndroid phones i have rooted I decided to get out and thinking the last set in the list was "power off" I tried that without luck now I have a screen with chinese charactors high lighted and the next line in english is camera with a space then home. Niether the power button or the volume button make any change.
Have I bricked the phone?
Can anyone help me please.
Thanks in advance Davoh:crying:
Hello All,
I have tried to root my UMI X1, but it keeps failing.
At first, I tried to follow the first step here. On my screen appeared prompt to restore my data from computer and the Shuame wizard showed me an image, that refers to accept the restoration of the data. (I didn't loose anything, because I had it in factory state...) After confirming, UMI just restarted and rooting process seems to be completed, but not correctly.
From two available buttons in wizard I guessed, that it was cancel and retry options.
I even try to access root explorer, but still "no root permission".
Now I was confused, so I try to do all from start. I wiped my phone, uninstall the wizard, set the english on phone, installed the wizards again and tried the whole procedure again.
...with the same result, of course.
So, I looked at the main page of Shuame, translate it to english through google and I found practically the same manual to root the phone.
And again, I followed the steps by this manual, and now.... surprisingly with the same NEGATIVE result.
At the end of that manual was reference to the advanced procedure how to root the phone, where I was supposed to download their .zip file, oped it with the wizard and let him upload the files to my phone.
Well, I followed this manual also. But the process has the same result.
Now I am desperate and I'm not able to find any other solution on the net. Please help.
I need to fix my GPS.
Hello All,
I left my UMI without battery for 2 days and I was searching for other solutions.
I don't know how, but after two days I tried the same procedure again. For my big surprise, I was able to root my phone and flash the CWM.
I was happy to finally see some results, but little bit to early.
I try one ROM here and it was installed without problems. Booting was a little longer, but nothing uncommon.
After boot I changed language to EN and tried to connect to my wifi at home. But now I found even bigger problem, than not working GPS.
My wifi stucked. The message was telling me "Turning on...", but it was there "like-forever".
I opened engeneering mode and looked at status of wifi - "UNINITIALIZED".
My guess was, that I lost drivers to wifi adapter, but I didn't how. So I started looking on internet for wifi problems with UMI X1... and didn't find even one solution. Nobody on the whole internet seems to have some problems with wifi.
OK, wifi out, I tried to fix GPS as well. Suprisingly no singal (or all satellites were on the other side of the planet. )
I came up with idea, it could be problem with this ROM, so I tried every one with the same steps like the first one. Still the same state.
This situation is driving me crazy and I am obviously loosing my mind.
Please, if anyone could be just a little helpful, I will VERY appreciate that. :crying::crying::crying:
Thank you all.

Make sure that you have your SIM in correct slot. For me mobile data were working correctly, but i had to switch SIM to "W" (W-CDMA).

Thanks for your response.
For now I'm using only the W-CDMA slot, but still no good.
Any other advice?
I found my X1 to be edge only, i also use the W slot only too but it seems he goes hspa when il not home (i live in a middle altitude place) i guess the reception quality isnt good as my One X.
In fact it does exactely like my huawei ideos x1 (U8180) so i guess chinese brand doesnt like mountains
More on it ask your operator wich band they use for 3g... Here Sunrise use the 900mhz wich is either GSM or WCDMA

Hi, i bought an UMI X1 recently and i want to install a rom to fix GPS problem, but unfortunately the phone isn't rooted, so i've tried using the last version of shuame, but i can't get the phone rooted. I start the wizard, with the phone connected, and after a while it shows the screen that talks about restore my data, but i don't understand what it says in the screen of shuame, because it squares the option "Restore my data" but i don't know if i have to press that. But, well, i press that button, then it restarts, and in the shuame screen it shows a blue button that if i press and it hasn't detected the phone after the restart, it shows some message, and until is recognized again by shuame, it shows like it's working again and after a while it shows again the "Restore my data" stuff, so i don't know if i have to press some button or just wait, anyone has experimented this problem?
There-s an image of the screen of shuame that i get (sorry i cannot insert images yet)

Patch if you UMI with a radio module 6628 and is not working WiFi or BT
Hello everyone,
I'm facing a quite strange and annoying issue on a TF700T.
No matter which ROM I'm running with, Google Play tells me updates need to be done, which is normal. When I start the updates, the downloads pause at 4% for most of them, and will never end, even after 4 days of activity.
A tablet on which you cannot download content to, or install apps is not very usefull.
The problem is the same with other download types (if I browse on the navigator, to download a ROM.zip, download starts and stops at 4%)
A friend gave me this tablet with Cromi-X insttaled on it. I first thought it was a ROM issue, so I flashed CM11 stable version, just to see.
Problem is the same.
I tried with different google accounts, I cleared Google Play cache services.
No effect.
I also flashed the ASUS original firmware using the SD card mthod, and problem is still there.
I'm short on ideas now, I've looked in XDA forum, but never found a thread with similar issues.
Tablet is currently running Android 4.1.1 WW10.4.4.25-20121228 A03 and unlocked
Thank you very much for your help or advices,
Nicolas
Hi again,
I have made progress on this strange issue.
I finally managed to get google play and downloads to work, but I have to use a vpn client so it can work.
I tried VPN Hideninja.
And, I have the issue no matter which rom/ android version I use.
So, it's a workaround, but at least it allows the tablet to be "usable".
Does someone has any ideas where the problem could come from? (bad kernel version?...)
Or, maybe someone knows a tool to check Android configuration issue, network configuration (I've searched but didnn't find something yet, but I keep trying )
Thank you for your help
Nicolas
Hi,
I installed cromi-X on the tablet and combi-kk as rom2Sd. Bith rom start, but I still have the issues with the playstore.
Does anyone know a tool to perform a hardware check?
If I want to completely clean the tablet, what would you advise ? Right now I'm trying to figure out if the problem is hardware or software.
Thank you for your help

Hi Sdbags, first of all thank you for your interest.
I've made 3 logcatfiles:
#1 on the rom2sd crombi-kk before downloading. logcatkkStartUp.txt
#2 after stopping downloading as it was frozen. logcatkkDLFails.txt
#3 same as #2 but running on cromi-X on the internal memory of the pad logcatX.txt

auditd is the Selinux logging facility... Protocol not supported means Linux kernel is missing the SELinux protocol...
So possibly you are on an older bootloader that doesn't support the right kernel ....
What bootloader and version of TWRP are you on exactly?
AH WE HAVE A WINNER
Tablet is currently running Android 4.1.1 WW10.4.4.25-20121228 A03 and unlocked
You need to update your bootloader and TWRP. Flash my update package from the CROM-X first post and then follow the instructions to move to a later TWRP if you want to try a CM11 base
Hi Sdbags,
upon startup, bootloader version shows "WW_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329" A03, and TWRP is v2.6.3-that3.
I can atach pictures if you want.
Ciould it be that a part of the tablet has the right bootloader version, and another part d not have that correct version?
Thank you for your help

Do me a favour and flash my package and then upgrade to TWRP 2.6.3-that3. There is flashable version of that in my CROMBi-kk thread. Then we know you are on the latest bootloader and recovery.
Also you seem to be using bluetooth at the same time. That doesn't work well on these devices. Turn off bluetooth as well and let's get the wifi working.

Hi,
So I went to recovery, wiped everything except external SD. transfered using adb :
cm-4.4-20140309-CROMBikk4.4.2-tf700t_Signed.zip
install it, restart to crombikk (normal installation, not in rom2SD)
restarted to Android, and made a logcat.
Rebooted to recovery and flashed twrp-2.6.3-that3_Signed 1.zip
Rebooted to android and made a logcat
Finally, rebooted to recovery, installed crombi_kkgapps_20140312_Signed.zip and reboot to Android system, connected a google account and tried to download an app from Google. Bluetooth is off (I never switched it on in my previous logcats.)
I then started the playstore application, and Android Terminal Emulator installed correctly.
I then wanted to install a Google product, Chrome Browser in the logcat attached. Download starts and freezes at 9% for 2 minutes then increases to 24% and freezes again. The download is still pending.
I'll post the logcat of the tablet when download stops by itself or it completes. (let's hope it does but it is hanging for 10 minutes now)
Try clearing data and cache on the Play Store and Google Play Services and reboot.

Hi,
I tried to download from 3 different locations, with 3 different ISP and modems, and the problem is the same.
I also tried to Clear cache and data of Google services and PlayStore. I still have the problem.
Yesterday, when I flashed everything to reinstall the Rom and the recovery on proper basis, I noticed that some directories are not wiped.
Maybe some files are missing?
Is there any way to restore those directory? (maybe doing a wipe data from the bootloader, but I read at many places that it is not advised...
I also tried to find an application or a thread to test the hardware of the tablet without any success
Thank you for your help

You could try a full internal sd card format from inside twrp - warning it can take up to 2 hours to complete. Make sure you have everything you want to keep and rom.zips on external sd as well.

Hi,
I did the full wipe from the factory (took 90 minutes )
I reinstalled the rom, and I stil have the problem (erro 495 most of the time)
I then downloaded and installed a VPN client and it works. ( I attached the logcat.txt)
There is still something I can't figure out, as it works using a VPN, the issue is probably not related to hardware, but software, and it is not related to the Rom or recovery.
Do you know if Google checks something like device ID when apps are dowloaded from the store?
Thanks
Nicolas

If it works on a VPN then it is more likely related to your country and / or ISP and Google servers.
None of the methods in this thread are my own work. I struggled with getting my phone rooted for a long time and spend 10s of hours on the process. I had never rooted before and was therefore unfamiliar with all the terms, unfamiliar with how to complete all the recommended checks to ensure one had the right model, etc. There were several helpful threads but most approach the subject with the assumption that one knows something about the process. In this post I lay out what worked for me in a step-by-step way and what you have to do to achieve my results.
#1 Ensure you have a H-901 motherboard and not the Korean F600 motherboard by checking the sticker, and checking “About Phone” -> “Hardware Info” -> “Model number” in settings. These must both be LG-H901…from what I can tell the community has only developed technique for the H-901 variant.
#2 Get a micro SD card and load it with Magisk https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 , and if you have Marshmallow or Lollipop and want Nougat (much better experience IMHO), load the files in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/h901-t-mobile-nougat-v30b-twrp-t3639203 And maybe this thread as well (read both and then decide): https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm.../h901-t-mobile-nougat-v30c-flashable-t3744648
#3 Ensure you have unlocked your bootloader. (apparently only for T-mobile LG v10s since other carriers lock the bootloader) The FWUL virtual machine root method will not work if you have not done so. This is an entire process in itself. The following 2 videos which show how to root android 6.0 or earlier (process will not work with Nougat, 7.0, since some fastboot commands are missing). https://youtu.be/OtXlokk6JkQ , https://youtu.be/PPLwFGxLQA4
Also, this thread may be helpful. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...t-mobile-bootloader-factory-unlocked-t3236224 , download the nexus root toolkit here for easy ADB command entry http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ —we will only use the “Advanced Utilities” -> ”Manual Input” -> ”Launch CMD Prompt”. When it prompts you to select a phone, select the first option and then for android version select Android *** Any. Don’t use any of the other commands because they are not configured for your device.
If you get a “waiting for device” error while attempting the fastboot oem unlock command in the above thread, see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/help/fastboot-waiting-device-t3489789 Great video which shows how to change drivers. You will need to do this, I found a number of drivers that were already on my PC from google and Samsung worked although I didn’t have the specific one mentioned in the above thread. Don’t be afraid to experiment… you can always try another driver. And don’t require it to be hardware compatible. Ignore the warning message: https://youtu.be/nQjg6ePnGAc
---------------------------------------------
NOW that you have your bootloader unlocked you can proceed to actually flash the TWRP image as per this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942
Notes before beginning:
-To enter download mode to begin: Plug a USB cable into your phone with your phone powered off, hold down on the Vol Up button and plug the USB cord into your computer. It should immediately boot into download mode. Exiting Download mode after flash: pull battery…no damage will be done.
-To enter recovery after flashing TWRP: power off the phone then hold both the down volume and power at the same time. When you see the black LG screen briefly release the power button and then press it again while not letting the volume down up. You will see a screen asking if you want to delete all user settings. Say YES (via the volume and power keys—no touch input). You will see a screen asking if you want to delete all user data. Say YES (the data is only deleted if TWRP loads successfully) You will briefly see the black LG bootup screen. TWRP or factory recovery will load. Or if you did not unlock your bootloader, it will say recovery is corrupted and cannot be trusted, and then boot normally without changing your settings or deleting files.
-Additional note: as of 7-23-18 some commands had changed:
From V20 forum, Brian (runningnak3d) has moved to gitlab.com. So instead of github.com, we have to use a new git repository that Brian created in gitlab.com.
cd
mv lglaf lglaf_BAK
git clone https://gitlab.com/runningnak3d/lglaf
cd lglaf
git pull
git checkout v10-miscwrte
There are additional comments in the thread. Some timeout errors may be solved by: 1 - Download the VirtualBox extension pack: https://download.virtualbox.org/vir..._VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.8.vbox-extpack
2 - Go to File / Preferences / Extensions / click the + and browse to where you downloaded it.
3 - Once installed, with the VM off, right click on the VM, and go to settings. Click on USB, and pick USB 3.0. If your machine doesn't have a USB 3 port, pick 2.0.
But frankly, simply up arrow after a timeout error to load the last command on the command line and hit enter again. Simply keep doing this until it works. You know it works because no dialog appears for several minutes before informing one of success.
**Upgrade to Nougat after Flashing TWRP and booting to Recovery steps: (I did a full wipe as suggested by this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594 before flashing the v30b upgrade then full Nougat zip, and then flashing Magisk. I flashed the 3 zips sequentially. I was afraid Nougat would not boot successfully because the zip files are less than 2 gb combined but success! You may want to also flash the 30c upgrade before flashing Magisk for a total of 4 zip flashes. I did not try this. However doing all this means no backups are done so if there is a problem you may have to flash a KDZ with the LG UP tool (don’t ask me how).
As a final note, I cannot answer specific questions about the various processes provided or errors you may encounter that I have not listed in this write up since I have not experienced them. A bit of research on your part may be required, but this post should provide you with a huge head start compared to where I started. Good luck!
Methods to get unlimited mobile hotspot, very useful if you're on the $50 MetroPCs (owned by T-mobile) unlimited plan. All you $70 T-mobile plan suckazzz! https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...ited-tetherting-hotspot-t3825144#post77249285
I would actually recommend using a USB tether client and forgoing root access if tethering is your only objective and you are trying to be efficient with your time. However, with root you can install all these cool apps!: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/best-android-root-apps/
The following caught my eye:
-Rec: screen record
-liveboot: boot animation (does not work with Magisk)
-Servicely: checks to see which apps are using a lot of battery and lets you suppress them
-Adblock Plus
-Titanium backup: very powerful phone backup application & bloatware remover look into for quickly switching over to a different lg v10
-Greenify: put apps into hibernation
-System tuner: get lots of info about you phone but be careful making changes
-ES file explorer: dig into the android system
-Disk digger: recovers deleted files (photos only?)
My device info:
Build number: rk3368-userdebug 9 PQ2A.190205.003 eng.hct2.20190411.192110 test-keys
Kernel version: 4.4.167
MCU version: MTCE_GS_V3.07_3
In settings menu I don't see lot of std android settings (probably hidden for normal user).
I would like to enable split screen (it is disabled by default - 7 inch screen), but I can not enter developer options.
Standard android way with tapping build number is not working.
I also tried apps (e.g. "developer options) but it does not work - it shows "First enabled developer options".
I also tried rooting (simple way) with code (*#htc#root#) in factory settings, and with kingoroot. It does not work.
Do I need use adb for that?
Additionally clock is not working properly. After vehicle shutdown signal - radio is falling a sleep. After wakeup it looks like time freeze.
If I activate GPS time adjust it makes clock late 30 minutes.
If I activate internet time update it makes clock late 1h - probably because of winter / summer time switch, but I don't see that setting (also hidden).
Any help would be pleasent
I would try to change to stock rom.
But Im not sure if that would be even possible if I do not enable developer options first and next usb debug to access adb and flash mode.
Maybe it could be done by MCU update file? somehow make it to change system configuration?

for what vehicle is that HU ?
i have same for opel, and have problems with stering wheel buttons, when i press next or back button it react like i press it 2 or 3 times :/
do you know how to enter recovery in that unit? maybe flash other MCU file ?
It is my device
https://xtrons.com/renault-megane-iii-fluence-android-9-0-pa79mg3rip
For me wheel buttons work well.
However try to check factory settings
Settings > Factory settings > enter code (126 in my case) > Keys
I have there option to change CAN bus to proper vehicle model.
Unfortunetaly I don't have experience with flashing such devices. Until now I was flashing only smartphones.
There were lot of tutorials how to do that. For Android auto HU I dont know even how to start.
For smartphone you could enter recovery by adb, but first you need unlock USB debugging. If you have access to developer options you could do that - that is not my cas.. sadly.
EDIT:
I found solution for time issue

Better solution
1. Get root

2. Use that app

1. Malaysk ROM!!!
Clock work without any problem, I have split screen on my 7 inch device
