Hello all!
So after much careful consideration I've decided to post this thread.
This thread is for all those people with the Goophone that isn't like the others. The ugly duckling - so to speak.
I purchased a goophone i5 from "efit" from dhgate.com after watching mayianjay's Youtube videos.
http://www.dhgate.com/goophone-i5-m...oid-4/p-ff8080813a071f7b013a594a682b5965.html
Unfortunately the phone WASN'T the same as mayianjay's and NONE of his rom's work with this particular model, even further I couldn't find a CWM or TWRP recovery.img anywhere on the internet that was compatible with this phone, so I thought I'd help out my new friends of XDA and provide you guys with as much information as possible.
The phone model information is as follows (according to Android System Info.apk).
Android Version: 4.2.1
CPU: MT6575
CPU Hardware: MT6577
CPU HardwareP1: MT6575
Resolution: 480 x 854
DPI: 240
Brand: MZ
Device: E939
Model:iphone 5
Now, if this is what your phone looks like then I have good news for you - as you are almost certainly wondering where to find a recovery.img - See the attachment below. You will need flash tools which you can downloaded here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=10599596, alternatively you can try using MobileUncle. For this particular model you just have to have the phone off before commencing the flash with flash tools.
The recovery image provided comes with TWRP and if it STILL doesn't work for you then your only other option is building your own - which can be found reading my dear friend yuweng's post here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825722&page=1 - There are alot of tutorials on his post and you can learn much on your endeavor to flashing your phone :victory:
Currently I have been unsuccessful installing any roms as I get "assert failed:write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img")" when trying to install any ROM, which tells me that there are no supported ROMs for this device yet.
ROM's I've tried..
None from Colonelzap's blog work for this model
mayianjay'
XDA-Goophone i5 Lite ROM with the 3g fix also doesn't install.
But fear not. I'll make my own rom fixes if I have too! If you need help with your Goophone I'm happy to assist. Although I haven't gotten quiet there yet I do believe I'm a stone ahead of many others. Also - I have a question to anyone out here who has fixed the 3g connection on the phone, How'd you do it?!
I will try

Thanks guy for the hard work.
I'm having no problem with my 3G connection out of the box.
But the GPS is not functioning at all.
All you need to do is edit the updater-script and remove those assert lines. That won't overwrite boot.img (which contains the kernel) but it'll allow the ROM to finish its install and you can make a try to see if it works or not. Maybe there's another way to flash boot.img...

Ah I see, I did hear there was a few GPS bugs but they can be fixed apparently, see that Goophone i5 lite rom thread I think this phone has the wrong 3G cell bands for my area (Australia VIC), Even though it says it supports it on the site.. :/ Looks like I'm doomed with the 3G Bug, I've tried copying the APN settings from one phone to another and all. Anyway no problem!

I also have this phone. (Goophone i5 which is MZ E939 model) and my 3G is stuck as well. I did the same thing you did friend - copy the APN's from my samsung galaxy which works perfeclty with 3G and APN's setting. When APN's appeared in goophone menu I was able to listed my GSM providers and I could choose this one I have SIM card inside. Neverthless during the connection I recieve "Unable to connect, try again later"
I did some tests using different apps and all shows that 3G 900mhz is working and is ON. But no success in connecting. It is really annoying when you have your smartfon offline - almost useless
I have the same problem with custom ROMs too. No way to install them - using ROM manager or SP flash tool. - always some error appears.
I tried to install the ROM then it say cannot find path to emmc something like that...
stock apk
hi, i have recently rooted this phone and i dumbfoundedly deleted the important apk's that includes the UI and home launcher etc
by any chance anyone may help me copy all the stock apk's and compile them into a zip/rar file for me? =[ would be much apreciated as i am unable to use recovery and updates also.:crying:

Just reset to factory setting and it will come back...
I done that many times already...
I have the same phone too
I have the same one from efit, I replaced all apps in system/app by google apps by the following
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
rootexplorer.apk
Vending.apk
DOWNLOAD IT HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o838cef8feakno
PS. I rooted the phone before replacing that, using MTKdroidtool
Now I see my phone is slower and the playstore opens but gives me an error when It installs some app (error code 110) which fails eventually.
IF some one can please give me the stock apps in system/app for this phone, I would appreciate.

Ok after a bit of research it turns out, efit has given incorrect information about the phone, the phone isn't goophone, its thunderbird i5
Whoever has the stock rom on thunderbird i5 , just follow the guidelines from the link below

I got into the recovery mode of TWRP but nothing I can do...
And even funny is that my phone can't detect the SD card...
So even with a ROM also I don't know how to flash it...

Anxiously waiting for something, ready to donate as well
Anybody who blocked phone on apple logo or install wrong ROM or anything please try this solution:
wait till phones battery is fully uncharged then plug the phone to charger wait some minutes and press VOL - (minus) together with power button
After few seconds some menu will appears (more or less RECOVERY look like)
Choose CLEAR FLASH option using "MENU" button...
Phone should starts with factory menu and settings.
I did it about ten times and works perfectly in my goophone e939 or whatever it is...

I would like this too. Thanks in advance.
May have the correct rom for 9500mini m-horse and others
Hi,
I have compiled all the software and roms needed to factory-flash and root my M-horse 9500mini.
I have included my "how to" notes in each directory.
I know this phone is sold under many badges from China and I believe yours is one of these.
There are two roms (*.Pac) included, one is Android 4.n (I use this,) and the other I believe is Android 2.n (denoted at end of file name by 4p and 2p).
I have only tested the Android 4.n rom.
Programs include : latest root-master, latest super-user, latest Research-download and Phone drivers for Win XP including USB to Serial drivers.
Download from the following links and use 7zip or other program to join the two files together.
Sorry about the size of files, the rom images are quite large.
www27.zippyshare.com/v/39152105/file.html
www49.zippyshare.com/v/74378565/file.html
It took a few evenings to search and learn how to get my phone working again (thanks google translate,) after stupidly deleting an important app so I hope this compilation helps someone else recover theirs.

Thanks for your reply. Your rom file is not compatible with my phone. I continuously searching for "m-horse 9500 mini" rom file. If I find it share with you on this board. Thanks for all.
Hello!

What safe software can I use?
Thanks!

thanks for your sharing. I managed to salvage my locked phone due to "too many attempt patterns" by flashing your pac file. Rooted the phone as well. Excellent sharing.
Just a small request, if you have any easy way to flash CWM, please share it with us.

It's hard to say about this as the spare part maybe rare.
Even though I "operate" my phones myself, but in order to fix any phone, you have to tear it apart and check if there is any cable loose broken.
By your statement, this can be your LCD malfunction. I tried to search around, but spare part seems to be difficult.
My only suggestion now is, dissemble your phone and check if there is any loose cable joint or something.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. But I think it has to do with the display settings for the rom file I have flashed. Before the phone got bricked, the display was working fine, except the phone was pattern locked and I tried to format it. Even though, the format was successful the phone started boot looping. It would just display the boot logo and restart. So now that I've flashed with the file you gave me, it boots fully and I can hear the start up tone and even the touch tones when I touch certain parts of the screen. But the screen remains white throughout. So I am thinking if there is a way to edit/ modify the display settings for the rom before flashing it. I have no idea about it though. But I hope someone here can help me out.

All the software you should need with "readme.txt" notes may be found by these links:

www49.zippyshare.com/v/74378565/file.html
you will need to unzip the two files together (using 7zip or similar) to rebuild the original files for use.

I think there's nothing wrong with your phone ... you just haven't found the correct ROM. It will work like 'out of the box' as soon as you reflash.
Modifying the display setting for the ROM? I think you have to start with exactly the right ROM ... unless someone else joins this thread, who has more knowledge!
I was able to get my M-HORSE 9500mini working again by searching the site, NeedROM. I never got the 'white screen' but only because I avoided flashing anything that wasn't (exactly right) for my model. But, I saw others who had the same problem you reported, for this same phone.
NeedROM provides detailed phone identification info, even down to photos of the labels under the battery. Don't use the ROM until you see that everything matches 100%.
Just the name of the phone isn't enough ... this phone comes in different builds, sharing the same name. You would be the only one who could make sure, with the phone in your hand, and matching it exactly with the details accompanying each ROM before downloading or flashing anything.
Good luck!

Yeap, agree with you.
You may need to get into your phone's "Factory Test" mode by pressing Vol UP + Power. From here you should be able to see more info about your previous ROM. Then you can start searching around.
It took me almost 1 month before I got into this thread, flashed the file and got my phone working. I am still looking for working recovery for the phone.

Hi,
I have compiled all the software and roms needed to factory-flash and root my M-horse 9500mini.
I have included my "how to" notes in each directory.
I know this phone is sold under many badges from China and I believe yours is one of these.
There are two roms (*.Pac) included, one is Android 4.n (I use this,) and the other I believe is Android 2.n (denoted at end of file name by 4p and 2p).
I have only tested the Android 4.n rom.
Programs include : latest root-master, latest super-user, latest Research-download and Phone drivers for Win XP including USB to Serial drivers.
Download from the following links and use 7zip or other program to join the two files together.
Sorry about the size of files, the rom images are quite large.
www27.zippyshare.com/v/39152105/file.html
www49.zippyshare.com/v/74378565/file.html
It took a few evenings to search and learn how to get my phone working again (thanks google translate,) after stupidly deleting an important app so I hope this compilation helps someone else recover theirs.

P.S. I have just tested the links and found some foul adverts on zippyshare's site. I am sorry if this offends some one. I will find a better file-host site when I can.

HOW TO RECOVER TOUCH FILES?
Hi,
This phone is brand new and is the WCDMA version of the Golden Warrior. Best value 4G and spec available in mu opinion.
I had the phone delivered to the UK today from China.
I can't for my life root the phone using any method. I also tried to flash the TWRP from china but no luck. Just goes to the original recovery.
It doesn't come with Gapps which is what I am trying to load.
Anyone can help to translate a rooting/recovery from this forum please? http://bbs.lenovo.com/a8
Actually I managed to flash the recovery and can now root
try flash

You have to flash the recovery twice in a row. There is root and gapps in the same forum.
You need to use Google Translate if you can't read chinese.

Can you upload the files and send us the links?
The files I am downloading from the Chinese website are corrupted.
(also if possible to give guide on the chinese TWRP, and what to do with it).
Also it will be very helpful if you could send the exact URL to the Root guide
and the exact URL for the how to install gapps guide.
Thank you.
I'll be needing this in a few weeks, I ordered one yesterday. Coming from an iPhone too, so it'll be a bit different for me, I wanted a cheap powerful 4G/LTE handset and this seemed to fit the bill quite well.
the phone ain't really that great, my piece has at least one dead pixel, shiny slippery back is just horrible (waiting to buy as soon as possible some replacement), headphones output is just horrible with constant noise/hiss not possible to listen unless you are deaf (compared to zero noise in TCL S950), brightness of display is quite weak (again compared to TCL S950) and let's not forget heavily customized Androd 4.4.2 with tons of crappy Lenovo software (unlike Coolpad F1 which has AOSP Kit Kat), but at least after root you can disable the evil Lenovo app Security which will try to make you commit suicide (btw. don't upgrade it, unless you speak Chinese, since Lenovo engineers are so amazing they can't even provide English from within the update and let's not forget horrid English localization in general and missing any other languages than Chinese and English)
here I wrote review of my new Lenovo A8 aka A806 (WCDMA/FDD-LTE) Golden Warrior bought for 111EUR (shame there is nothing available in better body with normal sound even if I would be willing to pay 20-30% extra for design and better sound) and tutorial HOW TO ROOT LENOVO A806/A8 it with links provided (I am using URL shortener service since XDA won't allow me to link my own tutorial because apparently I am spammer when I wanna help other people):

Oh, yeah and thank you so much XDA for using Recaptcha which is blocked in China, it makes posting anything useful soo much easier from within China.
I reuploaded mtk fladh tool + twrp recovery with img and scatter file to bunch of international mirrors, link to them is in my review and howto root tutorial on my blog linked in my post above. Whole ZIP package is misding only USB driver which is not rrally necessary and its on plenty of websites to dpwnload.

Thank you PeterMarkoff !!
Can you explain me in stage 1: what is "+ choose MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"? I didn't understand what it is and I didn't see this file anywhere else.
Thanks again
I am sorry but because of Recaptcha I must post from mobile (where I have free proxy only for few mins), so can't write long posts and they are full of typos, if you have questions better write on my blog.
Open MTK flash tool, change language to ENG which should there already as well in Settings/General/Download "DA DL All with checksum" should be checked. Then just choose as Download-agent MTK Allinone DA bin which is supplied together with MTK flash tool and Scatter-loading file choose alston_fddopen which is in TWRP Recovery folder. Whole process of flashing 2 times is quite straightforward, only major thing which needs to be said is that battery needs to be removed to completely shut down phone (and do this also when phone starts automatically booting after successful flashing), otherwise it didn't worked for me no matter how many times I successfuly flashed phone there always stayed original Lenovo recovery.
In this Chinese thread you have picture tutorial in first post which is selfexplanatory even in Chinese:
bbs lenovo com/a8/t402705/ (replace missing spaces with dots)
Hahah, I see the guy added also photos for Chinese TWRP for international users, since he saw my posts there. Not sure what is possible to see wihout registration to forum. Here is my screenshot how it should look after successful flashing when you can remove battery and do it for 2nd time and then after 2nd time boot into TWRP recovery.
oi57 tinypic com/2z8tix0.jpg (replace missing spaces with dots)
Btw. yesterday I already tried Xposed, but it informed me that A806 is running probably Aliyun OS (CN crap) fork of Android so it's not recommended to install Xposed to avoid bootlops and other things, which I am not missing since it's similar situation with TCL S950 my wife has, she can't run anything higher than Xposed 2.3.1 otherwise it would end up in bootloop, but at least it seem like proper Android and not some Chinese fork.
Special thank you goes out to my Slovakian friend who lives currently in China. You totally nailed it with your tutorial.
Thanks again to you Markoff :good:
a808t
A have a8 golden warrior but td-scdma version. Is td-scdma hardware related or software? Can I flash a806 firmware with a808t unit? Ty in advance
No, you CAN NOT flash A806 firmware into A808T and vice versa, they are different. But there are actually tons of A808T ROMs on Chinese websites, much more than for A806 which is not that popular option in China. You should also know that 3G and 4G in your phone will work ONLY in China, everywhere else in world you have just 2G phone even without 3G.
ic. Is there a custom recovery in english for a808t/a806? The one I saw the that site is chinese
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Im hoping that there's any kindess developer would come out with a stable cm rom for A806

Hi,
first excuse my bad english, i will try my best.
I made a mistake on my LENOVO TAB 3 10: in ES EXPLORER, I have unselected EXECUTE in properties of /system.
My tablet don't want to know anything and it doesn't start Android anymore.
I don't find a Stock ROM for my model but I have the code sources from LENOVO SUPPORT site.
Is anybody can compile the stock ROM from these code sources for me. Then, I will be able to reflash my tablet from an SD card.
Thanks for your help!!!!!

Dear Dcrin3, thanks for answering so fast. I've already seen the post you gave me the link but my tablet is not a pro model. I've got a YT3-X50 one. And it is mentioned in the post that the process is just fro pro model YT3-X90.
I don't find any built files for my model......
I'm so desperate ! Any other idea please ?
Hello Goodnight,
Consult urgently!
Does anyone have a X View Zen Element mobile phone?
My phone caused problems and I flashed it with FlashTool with a wrong rom and now it is frozen in the boot logo and does nothing.
I need if someone please have the equipment in question and can give me a backup copy of the system or the sccater file.
I'm not in a position to buy a new phone, I appreciate the help you can give me.
I tried to undo the brick with the FlashTool, but since I do not have the correct scatter file on the computer I can not do anything! I've been desperately looking for two days in the different websites / forums and I can not find anything for this phone. Not a single rom!
If even if I could provide the file sccater could try to develop a rom that works with this device and provide it to the community.
I bet I'm not the only one that I've searched in vain for help with this device!
I already appreciate all the help you can give me.
regards
