Ok so problem solved.... unfortunately it will delete everything on your phone....i simply flashed the phone using SP-Flashtool and a rom from here => http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=324294&uk=540296524#dir/path=/Rom/Goophone I5 Rom supplyed by Zap ...
its the version v18 ... theres a v22 also you can download from http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=412131&uk=3022339290 but i havent tryed it yet so i dont know how well it works....
can you see what version your stock rom is? ... i think mine was 27 but im not 100% and i have been looking for a later version stock rom but i havent found any yet.....so yee.... the rom i installed now semes to be pretty much the same although it gave me lower antutu scores than the first one i had...dunno how mush that has to do with the software.... but userwise i havent noticed any major differance more than the charging animation thats different when the phone is switched of..and yes the system recovery 3e is in english
now ofcourse these roms are for the Fastcardtech Goophone I5 N2 micro simcard!!!
all is done at your own risk!!
also you HAVE TO INSTALL the mtk6577 VCOM driver in order to be able to use the sp.flastool correctly.....anything else might **** up your phone.... theres a good tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421
good luck and please post what stock version you have running now!! and if the phone is running fine otherwise maybe you want to reconsider flashing it since the versions i posted for download are v18 and v22....would love to get my hands on the newest stock rom...(did try to just flash the recovery image from the v18 but it bricked my phone)

Thanks!

did you flash the colonelzap recovery with flashtool??
if your colonelzap cwm works then you should back up your rom with cwm...
(I have not tryed it my self but i think it should work)
download this rom
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=412128&uk=3022339290
uncompress and youl find a file called RECOVERY.IMG.....
now open your flashtool (i use sp-flashtool) and load the scatterfile "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"
the flash tool is gonna show you a list with all the files that where in the zip..
uncheck all of them so the only one that is checkes is the RECOVERY.IMG ....and then you flash and TADA.....you should have your old S3 recovery back
if it all goes to **** you can just flash the complete rom and it will work.. .....atleast if you have the gooptone i5 n2/lte mtk6577
dont use mobile uncle for these files...that screwed up my phone....they need to be flashed to the phone!!
AND... this is the international v18 rom... dont know what version you have right now....but if you manage to make a back up rom of your phone PLEASE SHARE!!! .... ive been looking for the later international rom....and if you have the backup you can allways upgrade from the v18....so
GOOD LUCK!! ...keep us posted! ...and if you need more flashingdeetales you can just google or ask

CWM Goophone i5 N2 black screen
Hi , I have similar issue like this ...
I have Goophone i5 N2 from aliexpres.com
It's come with original ROM and with Root, unfortunately it has lot of bugs . So I would like to install custom ROM from Colonelzap.blogspot
I spent more then 2 days with trying to flash Clock work recovery mode . So I'll be able to flash new ROM. But there I'm stuck
I red several tutorial for instalation , I did go trough threads here on forum , etc but still without any success .
1, I tried to use MobileUncle MTK for set recovery image with image from colonel zap blog
2, I tried to use (maybe 10 different version of) SP Flash Tool and still got 2 issue (4050 or 8038) during flashing
I used recovery image from Greg's Mobile gadgets
And result is still same , When I try to load to recovery mode , I still got black screen only .. And I have to restart mobile again , then it start up normally ...
I'm starting to be little bit desperate
I'll really appreciate any help or advice
PS: because forum rules , I can't add any links to sources which I used .. But I'll response very fast for any questions. Thanks

Dude!! u gotta make sure u have the MTK Vcom drivers installed on your computer......when u got that its easy peasy..... make sure your phone us turbned of and DISSCONNECTED from the coputer... now in SPflashtool you load the rom that u wanna flash and you press the transfer button....when thats done the computer is gonna start looking for the phone.....this is the moment you connect your phone to the computer....otherwise it wont work...windows will start looking for som other crap driver to use with your phone.......
if u wanna get ur phone to work well you should go to the talkingmobi blog and download the stock rom and flash that one....then when thats done flash the CMW and throu that u put in the manuxo rom!!......thats more or less what ive done...altho i made my own rom...but its more or less the same as manuxos just with less chinese crap...but that u can do your self when u got the phone set up...easyest way i think is with "root app remover" that u can get for free from the app store...or "Playstore" to be precise... good luck!!

Hi ,
I did this , several times . I installed correct Vcom driver, and update to last version . And I did follow steps for SP Flash tools. And i can see for aprox 2 sec , load driver for Vcom for Mediatek and So I think , that this part I made correctly.
When I tried load scattle file in to SP flash tool , and then run download and after that I connect switch off phone via cable .
SP FT find mobile via Vcom , and start upload and I see red progress bar on 100 and then after couple seconds I got error message :
1 , sometimes : BROM ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050) ...
2, or : SP Flash Tool error 8038

---

ohh yee... ive had that aswell when i flashed the ladies n9589.....thats either due to a bad rom...maybe some error when you downloaded it OR ande most probably an incompatible version of SPFlashtool.... sometimes you have to try diffrent versions to get it to work on your specific phone... if u got the goophone i5 n2/LTE then you should try "SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01"...
Thats the one i use for flashing my goophone and it works just fine.....and when you flash the CWM you should first boot up the phone with the latest rom you flashed b4 cause if you flash on an unbooted rom it wil most probably brick your phone so u gotta do the complete romflash from scratch....remember most costum roms are basically like "CWMbackups" that people do on their modifyed roms and spread....so with spflashtool you allways need to start with a propper rom with scatterfile....but ye....try running annother version of spflashtool... like the one i wrote in top...works for me ...and u can find it on goolgle

I used your suggested version of SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 and I used 2 different recovery.img , but in both tries i got same error as you can see on image

So i tried to upload new rom .
And it's look like a made a brick from this ... Now it doesn't respond at all ... SP flash tool doesn't recognize mobile at all
I can't connect now to the SP flash tool , it's just dont recognize phone , I can see only in device manager , which see 2 cards
and when I connect phone I can see for a moment USB Vcom port driver in list and for 1 second I can see that it write
Code:
Device is work properly
and then is change to image
Code:
Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.

Do you have the ADB drivers installed on your computer? .... might be there where your problem is.....or annother conflicting driver on your computer....google the forums for ADB driver MTK Vcom driver install.... as i get it the computer wont know how to talk linux without the ADB pack.......i think its included in some vcom driver packs but i do believe i had to install that separatly the first time.....check that out...cause it should work.....if now try it with annother computer...could be some crap driver on your computer messing it up...i had an emulator at one point messing my spflashtool up....

So , I don't think so that problem is the driver, because SP flash tool works fine when I try to update firmware , it's finish all task , but then the mobile doesn't start . I think that I don't have correct ROM . I tried 3 different ROM and mobile still not start up . Still just blink screen and that's all . And then I have to some how switch off . Then I'm able to do update again trough SP flash Tool , but I need correct one ROM.
I tried to find stock ROM Goophone-i5-0428-f-yzs.zip , but I found it only on some crazy Chinese site 400GB.com (file/19858713) and I was unable to download it .:silly:

---

are you sure its a goophone you have?
Also..... your phone NEEDS to be charged with ATLEAST 60% or it will fail....flashing really drains the battery and ive had flashings fail just cause of low battery......but yee.... if its not a real goophone it wont work either way.... or if its annother model....you need to have the correct rom for the right phone or it will fail 99,5% of the times..
dont think i can do much more for u.....running out of ideas......it should work with that assuming your hardware is good.

I saw some fake goophone on net , but it was with dual core CPU MTK 6587 etc ...
When I download SU and some other app like CPU Z ,etc I checked and I didn't see any suspicions information . So I hope that it is real Goophone i5 N2 ...
When I finished update firmware I saw in SP Flash tool that it's show some device info , so I'll add tomorrow another screen from this app.And try to verify if it's original goophone i5 N2 .
But this info about at least 60% of batter is important! Because it was charged about 50 % when I run update!
But process of flashing finished without any errors and in the end I saw Green circle , SO I was thinking that It's was finished successfully .....
Important question is . What should be done after updating new Firmware ?
I just tried to Start up the mobile .Should I do anything else ?

---

well if you get the green circle then its most probably that your out of battery......leave the phone charging for some hours... flash it and when your doen unplug it from the computer and just start it and wait cause the first boot up usually takes time,.....maybe up to 2-10 min depending on what rom u flashed......if you dont have enough battery to complete first boot you might run in to problems.....and if you wanna test your hardware you press the volume + and power and you get in to the factory hardware test menu just if u wanna make sure that ur phone is ok
