Hello xda,
are new to the community.
Recently I purchased a goophone from aliexpress.
This goophone I was sold as a quad core with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory.
I realized it was a fake quad core not appela I connected it to "droid mtk tool" for windows and found to be a dual core.
I was trying to install a new ROM, but accidentally while flash tool loaded after disconnecting the USB cable.
From that moment the phone is dead.
Will not turn on, do not charge more and not more signs of life with usb.
Please help me to solve the problem.
I am an electronics engineer and I have no problems to remove it.
I would then collect all the details obtained from this tread to create a guide to avoid new similar tread.
HELP ME! :crying:
PS: My phone only has a sensor near the front speaker.
Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian.

Did you make a back up with SP flash Tool before attempting to flash a new rom? Or do you at least have the stock firmware (Not sure if you are able to download your devices firmware from the manufacturers website, if they have one)
What should I do?
Hello,
I've purchased an fake iphone5 from Aliexpress, and tried the MtkDroidTools introduced on;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
I've succeeded to make back up with this tool .
But when I tried to install CWM with this tool, an error occurred and then my phone is bricked.
I'll attatch the log file of MtkDroidTools.
What should I do to unbrick my phone ?
Please help me !!

First sorry for my English because I'm from Spain and I do it with google translation.
I have a clone of the iphone 5s and bought it second hand and the person who sold it to me told me it was a i5s goophone (comes with all the logos and is an exact copy).
As I do not like iOS, I turn to the www.needrom.com page and downloaded firmware to put it as pure android, for which I used the Sp Flash Tool, it ended perfectly with the green symbol, but what was my surprise after I turned off the phone and no longer works.
In windows 7 detects it as me MTK android com port 11, but can not install your backup I made with MtkDroidTools because MtkDroidTools not detected. Same happens with me Sp Flash Tool does not detect it. Windows 7 does not detect it as a phone. I ask for help, and I think he's dead, but not quite, because as I say windows detects something. Before when I had the appearance of IOS 7 and it worked, windows detected it as me YunOsPhone.
thank you very much.

Hi to all!
I recently bought this phone, I have to admit to being fully satisfied of the features except for one ... the GPS function.
I have read dozens of guides to adjust the GPS W8+ but not for my model. If I knew how to do the root I could at least try to use the same method.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do it on this phone?

So I got mine W8 beyond two days ago.
So far so good, but:
1. GPS problem. I am geocacher (more at: geocaching.com) and I need accurate GPS. When I stood still in the open for few minutes, I could see GPS jumping around for 400-900 meters for no reason. AGPS and EPO activated. We will see how it goes
2. I would love to get polish language settings, since there are some apps which fetch the content depending on Your language setting (I know that this is poor design, but this is how they works), so that would be nice. Not an issue anymore. I installed MoreLocale2 and pm'ed it which is more than enough at the moment.
3. I do not see option for sorting the apps in the main apps menu (it was working on my old Lenovo A750) - am I missing something?First 9 icons are fixed and alphabelical, the rest is just alphabetical. I can live with that.
4. I have my contacts stored with country prefix which is not used by my operator. I do not see my contacts data when they are calling me.
The SMSes are provided by operator with country prefix, so the problem is with calls only. I tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120 but I am unable to decompile framework.jar - no classes.dex inside. I am not able to deodex framework.odex either, so I am stuck for the moment.GravityMod2 3.0 ROM fixed that problem.
The link provided with the tools and howto contains W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img,
when I go to phone info at my phone I can see W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626.
Seems like I have newer firmware. If anyone can tell me how to extract this, I would be more than happy to share.
GravityMod2 3.0 installed - not an issue anymore
For my good old Lenovo I was able to modify the ROM as soon as I got my hands on any ROM in zip format. I guess I could also try to compile something (I am a programmer), but since I am extremely low on time I would need MT6589T kernel patch (is it the same like mt6589) and some basic manual.
Anyone interested?

Thanks, but I got A-GPS and EPO already enabled and EPO downloaded.
I till try to go to the engineering menu and locking via YGPS.
As I understood from google translator, I should just wait for lock and then close everything. Since then everything should be running smoothly. Am I right?
What about my other questions? Lack of polish is driving my crazy. My news feeds are all US which is driving me crazy ...

Guys ..... HELP!!!!
with my habit of fiddling I think I brick the cell.
I tried the guide for root and recovery for the beyond, but now I can not turn on anymore, not even in recovery mode, the LED does not light up even if I put it on charge.
Can anyone give me some advice on where I can start to revive the terminal?
Thanks in advance. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I am not sure if it helps (I am quite sure it does not acctually), but which version was running on your phone prior to root attempt? Which part has failed? writting the CWM image or rooting?
Try to connect the phone to the PC via usb and then turning it on. If PC reacts (ADB device as far as I rememeber will be recognized) then there might be chance for You.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble to install the drivers for the THL W8 Beyond that I have. My model is:
W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618
When connecting it to the computer it will install HTC drivers under Android Phone entry in device manager and also W8 Beyond under Portable Device.
I cannot root the phone using the msdos script or SP Flash tool. Also Snapea does not see the device. On the same computer I used a ZOPO C2 Platinum and Snapea found that instantly and I could rooted and also pushed a custom ROM.
Now... wish I could also root this THL to be able to back-up my stock ROM. No need for me to work with a custom, just need to be able to back-up the original ROM just to be safe.
Can you please help me in regards to the communication problem between computer with Win 7 64bit and the THL W8 Beyond phone?
Thank you.

wait until xda search is back online and then search Android General for the brand name and "clone" of your phone. For example HDC Note. You can go through the threads manually, but that is up to you. Look for a thread with firmware updates or some other kind of development and then ask there....as long as your computer is recognizing your phone it probably isn't an unsalvageable brick, but I would wait until you contact somebody who knows a little bit about this device before trying more things, because you may end up doing something that can't be recovered.
Download firmware, download sp flash tool, flash firmware.
Galaxy Note 2 - rooted and customized leaked 4.3 stock
At&t Galaxy note 2 - rooted stock 4.1.2
Xperia Neo L - Bootloader unlocked, rooted and customized 4.0.4 stock.
so does it means that there are no specific clear record on how to unbrick mtk6575 samsung galaxy note II clone? ok i will just wait but anyone if there are any single hope.. please pm me.. thanks..

If the phone is not charging, then you first have to fix this.
It is not advisable to flash or try a recovery if the battery is not good.
Hello everyone! Happy new month as we say in Greece!
I'm new to your forum (but I visit the forum way to often to find answers to some of the problems that my friends have with their android phones)
I am a iOS user since the release of the first iPhone (2G) and i still use that phone as my primary device.
Due to economical issues I never could buy a newer version of the device.
So I thought... an iPhone clone might do the trick for me!
SO I bought a used Goophone i5.
The specs that antutu gave me was that the phone had:
Quad-Core CPU (MT6589 if I'm not mistaken) --> which is a lie, because the phone in factory mode (Power + Vol down told me it was a dual core mt6577)
2GB RAM
I wanted to fresh install the ROM of the phone and I went to needrom.com to find the ROM for my phone.
I extracted the downloaded files and with SP Flashtool i followed the steps to install the ROM.
But once the green circle appeared in my PC monitor, and told me that everything was OK I ejected the phone cable and tried to power on the device.
The device doenst show ANY kind of response to anything (no dev manager port appearance or anything) and that means i cannot install another ROM or even go to recovery mode to install another rom OR even try another ROM from SP Flashtool.
I tried to locate the test point of the device but i couldn't since I've never tried that before and i am kinda scared that i will ruin my new pretty shiny iPhone clone.
Here are some images of the inside of the device (not taken by me) :
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img541/2850/ebne.jpg
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img132/1700/u36i.jpg
My questions are the following:
1) Can someone help me find the test point and give me step-by-step instructions on how to connect my phone again to SP Flashtool?
2) Is there a way to avoid finding the TP and just flashing a new ROM?
3) Does someone have the same problem as me out there?
4) Is there a newer ROM with ios7 looks?
Thanks to all,
hope you can all help me and then help you if needed :highfive:

Hi fellow xda'rs,
I recently bought a Android TV Stick from Geek(app) from china.
I thought I had found a bargain as its specs were:-
2GB RAM
Quad Core CPU
16GB Storage
I managed to snap this up for £24 which I thought was a bargain but when I got the device delivered and was using it I thought it was a little on the slow side so I began to think it was a clone as its default OS theme was not the same as the usual CX919's aswell.
So I wanted to flash the device with a new ROM specifically the Finless 1.6b ROM.
So after following the instructions to installing the ROM using the software provided with the ROM download I managed to install the drivers and get the software to recognize the device. I then wiped the NAND and attempted to install the ROM but it failed .
Now the device does not boot at all and is not recognized by the PC. Windows just states the device is not recognized and has malfunctioned
So I cannot flash any other or what I believer I have found to be the original ROM for the clone device.
The board states its a GXT_D16_LP_V1.8 150310
I have seen that there are tutorials on putting the device into Mask Flash mode by shorting pins but as this is for the genuine CX919 my board is totally different and does not have the pins available to short I think.
In short could anyone help me to put this device into Mask Flash mode and tell me what id need to do and what pins to short please?
I have attached a couple of pictures of the device and board.

problem solved! :d
i found the mask flash mode pins to short by trial and error and luckily enough after 1 hour i solved it and got the pc to flash it back to its original rom. If anyone has the same device or issues and would like to know how to solve this i will be happy to help
I would be interested. I have a very similar clone (was supposed to be mk809iv). I have the same board although possibly different chipset.
I haven't bricked it (yet) but will probably do so if I can't find a way to root it. I think it may have come pre-rooted as super su was preinstalled but it has never worked (possibly because the app updated but not the binary?). I have since tried to update the binary and killed the root access completely.
Questions:
Is the ROM you used pre-rooted or rootable (if you've tried)?
Which pins need shorting? I have a button on the side that may be doing the same thing.
OT. How do I upload images or can I not as a new member?
Thanks in advance
any guide? i have the same device or where to download rom?
If your still looking, i might be able to help with a rom, root, and guide.
Thank you but managed to get root the same day you posted. I may still give it a go when my new tv box turns up though if you dont mind posting the info?
For anyone else interested in how I gained root:
1. Search for, download and install kingroot 4.6.5 (this is the version I used, only the latest version is available from official site and cannot be sure next steps will work with it)
2. Run kingroot and follow steps to gain root (dongle may reboot)
3. BUY super sume from play store.
4. Run super sume and follow steps to replace kingroot with super su.
what pins did you short
I am having problems flashing my hdmi stick . I can't get it to flash mode. which pins did you shorted?
can you email me a picture of it? [email protected] thanks

Hi,
Just bought this tv-box and while trying to update it with a different rom bricked it. It shows just red LED and nothing happens, also while trying go into recovery (toothpick + power cable).
Does anybody have detailed tutorial how to unbrick the box ?
Thanx in advance.
I am in your very same situation. Tried the sd card burning method and also the usb one, but no success at all. Hope there is some solution.

Maybe someone could place a foto with indicated pins (to make circuit on flash chip) to go into recovery mode ?

We, or at least I, have tried all the tutorials on freaktab and read a lot of things on the matter but nothing seems to do the trick. It's really frustrating.
rubbish

There might be a hardware change for those boxes, the Nexus ROM TV Stock thread has pics on what changed. Best to watch that thread since a solution might be posted soon
I am in the same situation. I tried the sd card burning method and also by the usb cable, but no success at all.
I have got m8s pro+ 2/16gb s905x, The device was purchased on the gearbest website.
some news from my yesterday fight:
sd card burning - many variants of rom, after restart, but on the mainboard there was not observed the reset button, only place named "k1" -> I soldered two points from "k1 place" to make a reset
after that
try by male-male usb cable and usb burning tool 2.0.8, Error result: [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error
I tried 4 different firmware's, and the same happens every time. Can anyone suggest something?
I can copy whole error if it can help determine the problem.
found on the internet
Romcode / Initialize DDR / Read initialize status / USB Control setup error
-> An error occurs when memory chips do not match. Firmware with ubut for some, but sew on others. It remains to ask the seller about the original firmware: (or shovel (look) available.

it's not the deal with ROM but with bootloader and recovery. Because it's not working rest of the problems are what box buy now ? Xiaomi or if are rich, nvidia. Screw that chinese scum. Try MI BOX and you'll find that xiomi is the real proffesional android tv (it's quick, responsive and my wife can handle it so it's the best user freiendly commercial )

HELLO the solution for reinstall your rom
hello i have found the solution for you i have received my mecool m8SPRO+ today and i search button recovery
i have found this on freaktab :
You need to press the hidden reset switch (accessed via pinhole on bottom of case) when you connect the USB cable, and it's got to connect to the USB OTG jack, which is the one closer to the power jack.
or see on this video youtube on front panel : xxxxs://XXXX.youtube.com/watch?v=WpThZ2sgkhUt
or maybe same at this video an other place : xxxs://youtu.be/N27pAxtcDSg?t=268
if is not clic take a pinhole if is ok you arrived after bootloader MECOOL ON menu
and take a factory reset
if you don t boot
try method with microsdcard take on sdcard the firmware ota here only the file M8SPRO ota
xxxxs://mega.nz/#F!gqgXwSCa!sFNDXrV_EMzAYAcJ68dV0w
and renom on update.zip
then take power off if is ok you screen apperead with logo android green updating
or do method with usb burning tools
replace xx on web link the correct http
Unbrick the M8S Pro+ 2/16
Hi everyone,
I know how you're guys feel... Is there any new idea or suggestions to unbrick the devices?
After OTA Update the box only shows red and blue at the same time, no boot, no detection of windows with reset button or / with holding the circuit shortcut at "K1".
Can't believe that Amlogic is even worse than the Rockchip boxes to unbrick...
