Default [Q] Goophone 4gs

I have the new goophone 4gs and I'm trying to root the software but since it's a clone I'm not sure how. I know the gooapple 3G was able to be rooted.

If anyone can give me so hints it would be greatly appreciated as I also need to install Market

Thank you!

Unhappy Goophone 4gs

I can't get this working on my goophone 4gs. I also found this on a chinees website. Have you got root access on your 4gs?

I got this from the sale website.

A Guide To Installing APK Apps On Your Google Android Phone
Thursday, June 30, 2011 7:26:52 PM America/Los_Angeles
Because the Android operating system is a relative newcomer to the mobile phone market, a strong and cohesive Android Internet support community appears to be lacking. Without an adequate Android support system in place, many Android users are left in the dark when it comes to many tricky tasks, like installing third party applications to their Android mobile phones. In order to install third party applications to your Android phone, you need to install APK, or Android Package, files. In this article, we will cover the two ways you can install APK files to your Android phone and show you how to take advantage of the wide variety of third party Android applications currently available.
Installing Applications Through the Android Market

The Android Market is essentially Android’s answer to Apple’s iPhone App Store. As of September 2009, the Android Market already offered well over 10,000 applications, and this number has only continued to grow. In addition to the applications the Android Market offers, you can also use it to install other downloaded third party applications.

Copy the APK file to your Android’s memory card and insert the card into your phone.
Download and install the Apps Installer application from the Android Market
Once installed, the Apps Installer will display the APK files on the memory card.
Click and install your APK files.

Installing Applications With Android SDK

It is possible to install APK files without utilizing the Android Market, although the process is more difficult and complex. To avoid the Android Market, you need to use Android SDK.

Download and install the Google Android SDK program and the Android USB drivers. The download links are as follows: code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html
dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
You need to modify your Android’s settings to allow the installation of applications from other sources. Under “Settings,” select “Application Settings” and then enable “Unknown Sources.” Also under “Settings,” select “SD Card” and “Phone Storage,” and finally enable “Disable Use for USB Storage”
This last step is easy. Open Command Prompt and type the following: adb install <1>/<2>.apk
However, when you type the command, replace <1> with the path to your APK file and replace <2> with the name of the APK file.
You’re done! Your application is now ready for your use and enjoyment.

I guess they never heard of us.
Thank me if I helped

Yes I have root access, you must unzip the root file given then open the 谷锋4gs-ROOT-REC工具.bat file and it should give root through a adb looking process. Just have the phone plugged in the computer (it has to be windows) and the Adb will do the work.

Make sure you install the driver of this phone on the computer. or adb will give an error that it doesnt see any phone.

At the end of the adb process on your computer it will say your finished and your phone will restart into a Chinese clockworkmod just choose the FIRST one and it should restart again. But it freezes here sometimes and if so DONT WORRY just press the hidden reset button in the headphones jack and it will restart and check if you have root!

After you have root I can give you a file that gives market and it updates to the current one!

You'll have to flash that though which will be tricky sine CWM is in chinese....
