Hi everyone, i am new at this forum and android devices, i searched for 2 days but cannot find exact answers for my problem
I bought an iphone 4s clone which the seller said that name is Gooapple V5 3G, android 2.3.5 is installed on it, but when i installed antutu benchmark and look at the system info, it is written:

First of all i am looking a rom which is android 4 for this phone. I searched for that and i saw that there are some phones with android 4.0 which has the MT6573 cpu. Do you know are there any rom like this which i can install on it? Are gooapple v5 3g roms compatible to this phone?
Also i installed the usb drivers for this phone and rooted the device, but i cant reach the sd card from pc, in my computer there occurs a removable device but not accesible. What is the solution of this?
Thanks
first of all, there are no mt6573 based smartphones out there, running android 4.0 . maybe someone is porting ICS to the mt6573, but right now i can not find 4.0 for it. there are phones put there with faked Android version, such as 4.0.9 or something.
yes, you can install different Roms on your device, but you have to port them first.
I have no answer for your question, maybe the SD card has a switch for read only?
i used wrong rom and lost the system of the device, now i need correct rom, is there anyone who has correct rom of this?

i know this but this device is not gooapple
ahh sorry, my fault. i just flight over your post, it was late. mybe some aditional informaton ( pictures of the phone, the back, the back without battery...
those version numbers or names can be faked easily, it is hard to say what phone you have with the given information. greets, chris
you have to reflash your stock firmware.
i found the rom that works correct but i dont like ios interface on it. now i m looking for a rom which has android interface
use this tool to backup your current working firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683883
and upload your Rom somewhere ( i only need boot.img and system.img ). I'm interested in the IOS interface and i can port almost all available mt6573 ROM's to your device.
I am currently working on a custom Rom with Cyanogenmod Settings,DSP manager, ICS themed , ext2 support and much more.
if you are interested, i can make you a flashable zipfile.
w w w.4shared-china.com/rar/GyMPoJuc/mt6375-236gps_backup.html
this is the rom i m using on my phone, all .img files in it
i dont like ios interface because it has lots of differences from real ios interface, text characters, icons, menus have lots of mistakes
and also roms for this device work too slow, is it possible to make lite and android gui custom rom for this device?
look at the pictures in my last post, this is a custom ROM made by me. the Mt6573 isn't that fast, but i tried to make a fast ROM for it.
it is working pretty fast right now, no chinese apps and a lot of customization you can do . there are a lot of ROM's out there, some are good, some are pretty bad. like i said, i can make a flashable zip for your device, so you can try out my ROM.
i can try if you can make a zip for me, this would really help me
also i have another problem with the rom which i gave the link of it, the network problem
if the gsm signal become too low, restricted access changed - voice service blocked error occurs, in my home and office signal is too low so i cant use the phone, do you know any solution for this?
i will make one asap, maybe your networking problems are gone with my ROM. im from Germany, have no problems here with the signal at all.
maybe your smartphone is just ****ed up, we will see later.
you got these problem too, before you got the new ROM? maybe the Baseband drivers are wrong or something...
Press VOL + and power toegether, what Recovery shows up? a standart mediatek one or do you already have a custom recovery?
i didnt use the phone with sim card before this rom so i dont know
recovery screen is standard mediatek
there you go! this is a clockworkmod recovery for your phone. just flash it with Flashtool and try it out! flashing a new rom becomes pretty easy with it. hope it will work, give me a quick response if it isn't working.
edit:
some minor tips: dont flash the preloader in any case, this could damage your phone, if it is the wrong one!!!
and always make a backup of the existing images!
i flashed with flashtool and didnt flashed preloader, dsp_bl, changed the recovery.img with the one you gave, nothing changed same ios gui, did i do something wrong?
do you have whole new rom for this device which includes all the image files in it? the one i shared here is too slow and some problems
the file i given you is ONLY the recovery, after flashing try it out with phone off and hold VOL+ and POWER, the recovery screen shows up with clockworkmod recovery.
the fully rom ( including boot.img and system.img) needs more work, i haven't the time to do it yet. just give me a day for it. porting a Rom to a diffrent screenresolution needs more work, cause my device is 480x800 pixels, yours only 320x480. i have to say, there can be some failures because of the different resolution, but this can be fixed easily.
the custom recovery i gave you is necessary for flashing new roms easily.
I have seen one or two similar questions, but no solution.
I have two identical Noname Chinese A10 based tablets. One works, one doesn't boot and I can't find firmware to successfully boot the non-working one - I've tried several.
The etching on the board is A721-MAINBOARD-V4.2.0 2012/03/26 with an A10 CPU.
Model number: MID
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 3.0.8 [email protected] #2
Build number: 20120731-LY-F2S.0.7.1
It's cosmetically this: pandawill.com/lyf2s-tablet-pc-7-inch-android-23-new-12ghz-cpu-4gb-2160p-hdmi-white-p59372.html but with 1GB RAM. It was sold as a Tabtronics ICE White I believe.
Most flashed ROMs allow me to boot the tablet, but then it either freezes before getting into the OS or shuts down/locks up after about 20 seconds into the OS.
So... I'd like to clone the working one as a flashable image to use in Livesuite. Is this possible? If so, how?
I've used the Allwinner A13/A10 Dump tool to dump the working tablet and I've got 5 files - boot.img, bootloader.img, data.tgz, recovery.img, system.tgz
How could I create an image to flash using LiveSuite? I can't use Uberizer as it requires the target tablet to be booted...
Cloning the working one must be possible in some way, even if I have gone about it all wrong?!
Thank you for any help in advance.
Hi again. Can anyone offer me any advice at all?
Thank you.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you.
I have an android box that was bought a couple of years ago, probably sometime in 2015. Similar to the picture attached: <sorry, apparently I can't post any links until I have 10 posts on this forum>
The new kodi doesn't work on it anymore, and I can't figure out how to update the firmware from 4.4.2 to 5.1. Did some search on the internet, but some people say it works, some say it doesn't, and the consensus seems to be that no one knows which file works with which m8s+ box.
So I'm considering buying a new box. Want a decent box that's easy to update unlike the one I'm holding. But before that, I thought I'd ask for some help here, if someone can help me through the process (I'm not exactly a techy).
Thanks a lot. And apologies if this is not posted in the write forum.
PS. Here's my Box's system info: <sorry, apparently I can't post any links until I have 10 posts on this forum>
Same problem
I have the same problem i have an amlogic M8S+ 8 core Mali 450... Quad core A9.

Current version 2.0.20130913
Android version 4.4.2

I want to update rom to later version... any help or links appreciated.

I would like to install 4..2 or better on a 7*tablet that currently has a locked down version of 4.2.2 on it so I must t side load. It hsa a rk3188 rockchip and I have a copy of an updatefie for the locked down Android version on there. With this info can someone point me in the right direction as to what firmware I should download? Do I need to post contents of build prop? Also can custom Rom be made from update file?

What all do you need to know?I can only get so much info from the tablet. I bought it from a pawn shop because it had a cool clear case and looked sturdy (it's for kids) but when I turned it on it had some crazy version of Android on it. The tablet has no name and pawn shop guy didn't know. I saw an update file, peeped in it, saw buildprop,etc. I just want a basic version of Android on it(jellybean I assume since buildprop says version on there is based on 4.2.2.). If i post buildprop is that enough? Or do I need to post the update file also along with board and chip specs?

Hi everyone
In respect of my Post, unfortunately, I did not found any OTA.zip for this TV BOX. In addition, neither an original functional firmware to this device. I tried/tested many roms, and a ROM from T95Z plus TV box works well.
I leave for download a good ROM with Android 7.12 in my MEGA.nz:
Here the link for download ROM for Diamond A9 - RUPA - 2G/16 - S912
I hope that it helps someone
