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

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....

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

THIS WILL DEFINITELY VOID YOUR WARRANTY
BACK-UP YOUR CURRENT ROM (THIS IS A MUST!)

DISCLAIMER:
Do the following at your own risks. I will not be responsible if anything happens to your device. Steps are provided as a guide to help you

HI TO ALL CRYSTAL USERS!
Here is a *translated* guide on how to flash the i-Mobile IQ2's latest T18 firmware to our Starmobile Crystal.
You don't need to have a rooted phone for this procedure.
I couldn't find a changelog for the T18 version so I'll just share the differences that I've noticed after flashing the ROM:
* A new setting for GPS could be found under Location services call GPS EPO --
-- Its a MediaTek proprietary off-line server based A-GPS technology. It supports up to 30 days satellite orbit prediction, which can
be used to greatly enhance user experience by improving GPS Time To First Fix (TTFF). -- as per the About EPO from the EPO settings in the
phone.
I've noticed an improvement with GPS if this feature is turned on. Before I couldn't get a fix when I'm inside my house but at least now I'm
getting one -- although its within a 200m radius. Works much better out in the open. The only downpart here is you would need to download the
EPO file for it to be effective. What if you're in a life and death situation where there's no way to get wifi or a data connection?
* Interface seems to a lot smoother. (Maybe because there's still a few apps installed)
* Games are a bit less laggy. I've tried Temple Run 2 and O2jAM and I've seen a bit of improvement there.
* Gyro sensor with Temple Run 1 is still not fixed :crying: || All other apps seem to be working fine with it.
* Battery drain is reasonable, just like the crystal's.
* OC'ing / UC'ing is still not possible.. :crying: || Still looking for a compatible kernel / ROM.
* a version of CWM could be flashed using MobileUncle Tools for this firmware! \ (^_^) /
* The T18 firmware has LED flash enabled for video capture -- the T10 version which I initially tried did not.
* THe T10 firmware had a red "x" for sim 2 located at the status bar since I didn't had a sim 2 inserted and I couldn't get it off -- This was
fixed in the T18 firmware.
* Haven't noticed any bugs except when the phone is charging and the battery has a low percentage -- everything becomes laggy! But I did had
the same experience with the Crystals firmware too.
So HERE WE GO -- ONTO THE GUIDE
THINGS THAT YOU WOULD NEED
1.] SP Flash_Tool
2.] i-Mobile IQ2 T18 ROM -- Its technically a T17+ rev.
3.] ADB Drivers, phone drivers - This can be obtained via PdaNet and manually installing the driver from the SP Flash_Tools folder
4.] A computer running on Windows 7
5.] Basic knowledge of flashing ROMS is a plus!
Step 1
* Download all the files below and extract the .rar files into seperate folders *
- Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15.7z -
http://www.mediafire.com/?cnnkb7fkjav8b0k
- PdaNetA4013.exe -
http://www.mediafire.com/?30i3p5badhczzhy
- recoveryIQ2v17.img -
http://www.mediafire.com/?8klxfo4q672xxrp
- SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1222.00.rar -
http://www.mediafire.com/?b7c1e88teokmnkb
- i-Mobile IQ2 T18 update -
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7V7eS44lBLedXNWeUEtRktMUlk/edit?usp=sharing&pli=1
Step 2
* Install the USB drivers of your phone. *
Installing ADB drivers via PdaNet
- Install PdaNet and when asked if you would like to install the drivers - select yes > Other > OK;
- If you get a pop up that the driver is not signed, just select install anyway. You'll be prompted to connect your phone to
your PC - do so. Once installation is complete, you can unplug your phone
Installing the Drivers for the Preloader
- Turn off your phone, remove the battery and connect your phone to your PC.
- On your computer, go to Control Panel > Device Manager and look for the USB driver for MT65xx Preloader (this flashes on and
off every 5 secs or so) then right click it and select Update Driver.
- Select the "Browse option" > "Let me pick.." > Let the Show all devices highlighted then click Next > Have Disk then navigate
to the folder where you extracted SP Flash_Tools
- Open the folder > Open new usb driver > Open the Win7 folder and select usb2ser_Win7 for 32-bit systems and usb2ser_Win764
for 64-bit
- Let the drivers install. Once done, unplug the USB cable from your phone.
Step 3
* Flashing the ROM *
- Open flash_tool.exe from the SP Flash_Tool folder
- Once you have the program loaded, click on Scatter-loading found at the right hand side buttons of the interface
- Navigate to the directory where you extracted the T18 ROM and open the IQ2 LBAMW01.1.0.1.2T18A1229_M121 folder
- There should only be one file here -- MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc; Go ahead and open it.
- Click the Format button at the upper left portion of the Interface; Dont change any setting on the pop-up window, just click OK
- Connect the USB cable to the phone (battery should still be removed) and wait for the status bar fill up and go back to 0%. Unplug your phone immediately and stop the process by clicking the button to the right of the Download button at the top of the interface.
- Click on the Download button > re-attach the battery to your phone and then connect the USB cable back to the phone.
- Flashing of the ROM would take place at this point - DO NOT INTERRUPT! It should only take 3-6 minutes to complete.
- You'll know that flashing was successful once you see a pop-up box with a "green" circle. You wont miss it - seriously!
- You can unplug your phone from the pc and turn it on. You should see a green i-mobile logo instead of the Starmobile logo.
- The phone would take a while to boot up after updating, don't worry -- its normal.
Step 4
* Root your phone!!! *
- You can follow the Rooting guide for Starmobile Astra here by OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998965
Step 5
* Install CWM Recovery *
- Follow the guide on how to Install CWM on the Astra except use the file recoveryIQ2v17.img from the downloads list
That should be it! Enjoy using your IQ2 phone! If you do find problems or have a better way of getting this done -- please share it with
everyone. This guide was translated from http://droidfriend.com/forums/index.php?topic=1001.0 by Comdevx.
*Note* After installing CWM, it would be best to boot into recovery and format data / wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache before using the phone.
========================================================================================================
everything happens for a reason.
Adding Tweaks for build.prop -- You can follow this steps to turn off camera shutter sound since this official ROM does not have the option to:
guide taken from androidforums*com by n0ve
1- Open up any file explorer app, I use Root Explorer, ES file explorer is fine as well, (free in app store).
2- Click to mount system as R/W.
3- Navigate to /system
4- Longpress on build.prop. -> Tap Open With -> Tap Text Editor.
5- Scroll down towards the bottom where You should see: # #ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES
6- Nine lines down is: ro.camera.sound.forced=1
7- Change =1 to =0.
8- Tap your menu key -> Tap Save/Exit (your build.prop will automatically be backed up as build.prop.bak If using Root Explorer. If using other apps, I suggest making a copy of your original build.prop, rename it to build.prop.bak, then edit the original Build.Prop.
9- Reboot your phone.
Now, once you place your phone in silent mode, it will stay silent.
Now, I've also tried to edit these fields to change Model number and Build number on the Settings > About phone screen.
ro.build.sim.version=Starmobile Crystal
ro.product.model=Starmobile Crystal
How to backup the stock ROM?
Hi
I want to try this TUT ,but before that, I would just like to know how you backed up your StarmobileCrystal stock ROM?
hi I tried this But it seems im stuck Step 3 -- Connect the USB cable to the phone (battery should still be removed) and wait for the status bar fill up and go back to 0%. Unplug your phone immediately and stop the process by clicking the button to the right of the Download button at the top of the interface. It stops while it's filling up the bar. And this pops up
"BROM ERROR : S_FT_DA_NO_RESPONSE (4001)
DA didn't send response data to FlashTool! "
I have tried a dozen times but i cant seem to figure out what's the problem.
Thanks!!
Dear OP,
I flashed T18 succesfully from their Thai website. However, I just noticed after flashing that my orientation and magnetic sensors are no longer working. when i checked the specs of Starmobile Crystal, it says it has G sensor. Checking also my crystal, it says it has yamaha 530 magnetic and orientation sensors. I just want to know if you were able to extract the stock ROM of crystal and provide a download link somewhere? I tried to flash my stock ROM but found out that the preloader bin file is corrupted.
Overall IQ2 T18 edition is an excellent ROM, fast GPS and no bloat apk's. Im just not comfortable seeing that my compass is no longer working.
Here is the Custom rom i.e SENSE based Custom rom released for Star Mobile Astra:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2247296
Also Contains TWRP recovery.
WORKED!

everyone. This guide was translated from http://droidfriend.com/forums/index.php?topic=1001.0 by Comdevx.
*Note* After installing CWM, it would be best to boot into recovery and format data / wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache before using the phone.

LG THRIVE EMERGENCY MODE/BRICK FIX/REVERT TO STOCK v11H Firmware/How to root after unbrick & revert/install CWM
***I want to make a few things completely clear:
1. THIS IS FOR THE LG THRIVE (P506GO) ONLY.
2. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FURTHER BRICKING OF YOUR DEVICE (however I have not had any issues and I have done this many times)
3. I do not know where I found this procedure originally, however I have seen it posted around the web a few times. So I cannot actually give credit to anyone because I do not know who i got it from or who came up with it originally, So I apologize.
4. I did not make any of the files.
5. I did this because I am sure there are other people that have spent hours, upon hours, upon hours trying to figure this out, and my wife drives me nuts and I figure other spouces have been driven nuts, so here you go. If you like it, use it, if you dont, then dont.
This procedure will work for ANY LG THRIVE THAT STILL COMES UP IN EMERGENCY MODE, If your phone shows up as a QCUSB_DLOAD or something to that effect in device manager this will not work, This will also work for anyone wanting to fully revert back to stock 2.2.2 v11H. This is also safe to the effect it will not mess up your NV partition (there is another unbrick guide that you run the risk of screwing up your NV and then you wont have cell service after the unbrick).
That being said on with how to do it!
Download these files first
CUSTOM KDZ v11h
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1.exe
LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix
Unbrick Solution
1. If your phone is plugged in to the comp, unplug it. Remove the back off the phone and remove battery, do not worry it will be fine. Now set it to the side, we don't need it just yet.
2. Install the LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVER from the file you downloaded.
3. WE ARE NOT INSTALLING ANYTHING ON THIS NEXT STEP THIS IS MERELY TO HELP US ELIMINATE A PROBLEM. If your phone automatically boots into emergency mode then go ahead and plug it in (for those stuck in bootloop or just wanting to revert press and hold back + Volume up and then plug in the usb) and let the drivers install. Once that is done go to Device Manager (Start->run-> type devmgmt.msc and press enter.) expand the modems section and disable (DO NOT UNINSTALL) the LGE USB MODEM (See pic below). It will ask you to restart your computer, DONT.

}
4. Disconnect the phone from the computer.
5. Extract the contents of the LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix to it's own folder.
6. open the folder to which you extracted those files then open the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN folder
7. XP Users: just double click the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe/Vista,7,8 users right click and run as administrator.
8. Set Type to 3GQCT and PhoneMode to Emergency (others tell you to set it to diag, dont.)
9. Click the little folder with the curved arrow above it to the right of the KDZ file and select the custom_lg_thrive.kdz file you downloaded earlier. Leave the program open.
10 EVERYONE MUST DO THIS STEP EXACTLY WHETHER YOU BOOT AUTOMATICALY INTO EMERGENCY OR NOT! Plug your battery back in, then press and hold the back button + Volume Up + Power. Release ONLY POWER once the thrive starts and then release back and volume up once your in emergency.
11. NOW PLUG YOUR PHONE BACK INTO THE USB!
12. Hit Launch Software update. If it says phone isnt found, first verify the LGE MODEM driver in device manager is still disabled, if it is disconnect phone and then plug it back in without rebooting and hit start upgrade again, it should work this time. IF THE WINDOW FREEZES DO NOT PANIC IF IT GIVES YOU A MESSAGE SAYING ITS FROZEN CLICK WAIT on VISTA/7/8 (on xp it should just revert back, once it does youll see in the dialog box it is flashing let it continue until it says it is complete (Your phone will reboot and you will be at the battery charging screen)
13. WE ARE NOT DONE JUST YET! Now we have to do a Factory(Hard) Reset SO with the device off press and hold the home + volume up + power. release all three once the device boots, let it do its thing. when the device reboots, it will seem to take forever. but it will finally get to the Android setup screen.
Walaa You are back to v11H stock firmware.
How to root after unbrick/revert to stock
1. After you setup your thrive go to settings->Applications and check unknown sources
2. in the same menu click on development and check all three settings in there.
3. Make it easy on yourself and just use the phone browser to come to this thread even easier here is a bit.ly link: http://bit.ly/14EbsSF
4. from your phone browser download the gingerbreak attachment.
5. Install it after its downloaded (if given the unknown sources dialog box refer to step 1
6. Hit Root Device, and let it do its thing, after it reboots, it will be rooted.
Install CWM
1. After rooting via the steps above, open up the play store.
2. In search type Rom Manager and install the Rom Manager from Clockworkmod
3. Open up rom manager and it should prompt you to install Clockworkmod Recovery. Click continue OR click the Flash Recovery button, it will search for your device, but it will pop up for the P500 (old Baseband) SELECT THAT ONE! then click normal install.
4. once it says it is successful go ahead and reboot into recovery via the menu in Rom Manager (allow superuser permissions), to verify that clockworkmod is installed. IT WILL HAVE MESSED UP COLORS, and may come up in the dialog box that an error occurred, THAT IS EXPECTED AND IS OKAY. Use the volume keys to navigate, power to select, and the back key to go back.
There, from this point you should be able to do whatever you want to your thrive that you want. I hope this helps.
Nice work. I have confirmed this method works very well on my thrive.
Thanks for your great work..

Thank you for posting this. I almost threw out the phone because none of the other suggestions seemed to work.
This worked for me, but some critical steps were not mentioned in the post.
My phone was automatically booting into emergency mode. After installing the LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVER, just plugging in the phone (in emergency mode) was not enough. It did not load the drivers, and nothing showed up under modems in Device manager. There seems to be different types of emergency modes. I had to do Back + Volume up + Power and then plug it in to get the phone drivers to install. Once it showed up, I disabled the LG modem.
I also had to install the "msxml.msi" program that you had in the same KDZ_FW_UPD_EN diretcory. Without this, the program was crashing with some error messages (sorry, I didn't write them down).
I also had to run "Windows Enabler.exe" in the same directory. I am not sure what this does, but without it, the program was crashing.
Once I got past all that, at first I thought the program froze because nothing was happening and windows complained that it was "Unresponsive". It took a couple of minutes for some log messages to show up. Once it got going it took about 5 minutes to complete.
Then the first boot took a very long time, around 5 minutes. It seemed stuck on the startup screen, but eventually it took me to the phone initializations etc.. and then it worked fine after that.
This works!!! Period. Surprised the hell outta me!!! I have two P506 that have been stuck in Emergency Mode for a couple years. I've tried countless combinations and KDZ's. It took less than 5 minutes to flash the KDZ per phone. Factory reset, and BAM!!! After about 3 minutes or so was welcomed by the Setup Wizard.
@aestivalisakito
Please add the extra things that were mentioned above by @asarangan to the OP. These are actually critical. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Pro and KDZ Updater kept crashing without them. I enabled Windows Enabler and installed the XML 4 parser. Drivers were previously installed. Tried again and VOILA!!!!
Thanks again

My pleasure I really want Thrive user (small polulation apart from P500) to have fully use this phone. Now I try to flash 4.4.2 Kitkat and battery drained was like froyo unless SElinus was disable from P505 kernel.
Hey nice thread !! Thanks.
I have a P500, and tried a lot of stuffs with KDZ and LGMDP,
your method is close to all of them with some more details,
that for ex :
10 EVERYONE MUST DO THIS STEP EXACTLY WHETHER YOU BOOT AUTOMATICALY INTO EMERGENCY OR NOT! Plug your battery back in, then press and hold the back button + Volume Up + Power. Release ONLY POWER once the thrive starts and then release back and volume up once your in emergency.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll try it !! I just think the step by step method is the same with my P500 ...
I, until now, got strange errors with KDZ ("Error upgrade - WPARAM : 100 - LPARAM : 4008") and LGMDP (Error AMSS writing),
have you already encoutered them ??
I'll try it tonight on my P500, with the good Drivers and stock Rom for the P500.
If you think you can help me or has another idea, look at my thread !

If you are still getting error "Windriver Error: 0x20000015 " try this :
1. set a live ubuntu Linux on usb. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-your-own-Ubuntu-LiveUSB/
2. install xfstk driver . https://communities.intel.com/thread/57018
3. start from section 2
Read before starting , Comment by @marionette
1. Started and did everything on the original post, encountered Windriver Error: 0x20000015. I tried both method but it didn't work, to the point that I build xfstk in linux only to find it still throws errors.
What fixed it for me was to hold down the volume down button before I connect the cable to my laptop for whatever reason but it worked.
2. It then still gave me an error but I forgot what it was, I didn't save the logs until much later. Scouring the thread someone suggests providing a soft fuse file. Okay. I downloaded the file from him BUT xfstk gives me error code 45 softfuses signature error. I had to download the raw firmware from here to get the soft fuse file to get it to work.

Help !!!
Bro, you gotta help me.
I am facing this.
Help me
Could you solve the problem?
I am facing now. Help me if you could.
Please....
I have prepared hybrid ROM 1.04 / 1.05 (Android 9) -> its suitable for T1P2, T1P3, T1P4 version of Teclast T30
Its based on official global ROM 1.04 and chinesse 1.05 ROM.
In the folder with firmware 1.05, I replaced the scatter file and system.img from firmware 1.04.
The result is:
Version 1.0: firmware 1.04 with Google Play store and 60 Hz screen frequency, MUCH better touch response, containing all languages.
Version 1.1: same as version 1.0 + Magisk (ROOT) pre-installed

Note. Unfortunately, the touch does not work in TWRP, so a mouse and USB adapter must be used
If someone has a problem with Flashtool, fails to burn ROM to tablet, try install drivers " MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip"
- unzip archive
- run file "MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.exe"
- it will create desktop folder "MTK Usb Driver v1.0.8"
- run file \MTK_Driver_ ext\DriverInstaller.exe
- it will install drivers
- restart PC
- done

Because XDA Admid removed my external download links I had to upload all files to attachments.
As a backup, all files are stored here also
to all T30 owners out there that suffer from touch-screen lag: rtb07 did a phenomenal job in creating this hybrid rom that fixes the issue. Installation is easy to do, just follow the above instructions.
I fixed my T1P2 EEA T30 using the 1.2a hybrid rom and could not be happier with the result. It is working like a charm now.
THX to rtb07!!!!
Welcome. Thank goodness I managed to correct that annoying touch mistake.
I would love to do installation 1.0 on my T1P2 but all the download links have been removed :/

Because the XDA administrator deleted my external links to the files, I had to upload everything to the first post.
So now is all OK.
Thanks for this. I preordered this tab at launch in late 2019 and hated the touch response and just overall laggy feel, so it's been sitting in a drawer for over a year. This firmware actually makes it nice and smooth, also extremely simple to flash.
Yes, in my ROM version the touch finally works fine. It is tragic that Teclast only fixed this in the Chinese version 1.05 ROM and did not release a corrected version of the EEA / Global ROM. When I wanted to work normally with the tablet, I had to make a corrected version of Global ROM 1.04.
It is a pity that the manufacturer does not release new updates.

I bought 3 Chinese tablets from different company’s & not one of them have been updated by the makers, but my 2 years old Samsung S9 South Korean phone still getting updates.
Its really is poor customer service when they can easy fix the problems, thankfully there people like you around to do there job for them!
Hi!
First of all, thanks for your great work. I have ghost touch in my Teclast T30 and I've been looking for a solution for weeks. Some days ago I found this post and installed the 1.0 version, that should fix my touch-screen issue. The installation was succesful, but still having the same problem. Ghost touch in the bottom side. ¿What can I do to fix this? I have the T1P2 version.
Thanks!
Hi, I don't know if anyone else is reporting a problem with a ghost touch on our tablet. I have not encountered this problem. They all reported only a problem with low touch sensitivity, which was solved by this hybrid ROM.
Maybe you could try peeling off the protective film. But I don't guarantee it will help.
Does physical keyboard work with hybrid rom?
Yes!
This hybrid ROM saved my T30. What a fantastic work Sir rbt07! The screen response is now super fast. After installing the version 1.0 I spent over a hour scrolling up and down just trying to believe in what I was seeing. It became a much better tablet now. Btw I got stucked in the 0% format during the flashing process and had to install the MTK drivers on my laptop. I only installed the last driver "we had three folders there" and then I could complete the installation. You should invoice Teclast to pay you for your work. Thanks a lot mate!

Yes it does work with the physical keyboard, I tested it myself
I'd like to thank you OP, this made my tablet actually able to play rhythm games to an acceptable degree. I didn't like to flash other ROMs because they all have a common issue: bluetooth connection. This ROM works flawlessly on my T1P3 by using it for 3 days.
Hybrid ROM is just a mix of two original ROMs, so it doesn't have many bugs.
Hi, do I need to unlock or do anything to my device before I can follow these instructions?

It is not necessary to do nothing more, just follow instructions.
