Hello friends I have a problem and my gooapple V5 3G 108 board, it not start, it is like a brick. I used "SP flash tool" but I am thinking I charged a wrong ROM because this get like a brick after this charge.

The phone not start when puss the buttons, but connect with the computer I have this possibility to dawnload from the computer.
I wait for some help

Hi Friends
I need some real help with my Gooapple 3g.
The GPS doesn't work, and I've gone through the vids that show the fix, that's not the trouble. I am sure I can sort that out when I can finally get this Phone ROOTED.
I have tried all the techniques on the net. The root-rec goes through but doesn't actually root it. When I go into recovery it still comes up with the English recovery. I tried to install a new rom but get the bad signature error or rom is incompatible with this phone error.
If I could find one of the original Chinese roms for the gooapple and put that on the phone I could root the phone then.
The trouble is every link I have found to the download of this ROM are all dead ends.
Does anyone have a fix or an original Gooapple 3G rom could they please help me.
Thanks

3I'm opening this new thread since the 3G version of the Gooapple is now out.
We can gather here to help each other to develop new ROMs and improve existing ones for this device.
If you're looking for the latest official stock (non-modified) ROM for this smartphone, look no further; you can find and download them right here: Gooapple V5 3G ROMs. It's in chinese but with the help of a translator it shouldn't be hard to download what you're looking for.
People who already have this phone can start discussing and posting their work here.
Feel free to ask any question.
I will start my own work as soon as i get my Gooapple V5 3G.3
As per your PM about this. Here are some steps to follow.
Easy way: install fasterfix from market: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825717
Make sure you are rooted (using superone click 2.3.3)-> Install fasterfix -> launch and select Europe (as ur in U.k) from the server list,save. just to confirm it worked-> using Root Explorer, make sure you have a gps.conf file sitting under system/etc after you have run fasterfix as the original gooapple roms put the gps.conf file in the wrong location (system/etc/firmware).
check permissions of gps.conf in root explorer
Owner=read\write
Group=read
Others=read
Install "GPS Test" from market
Install "GPS Status & Toolbox"
on the phone goto Settings->location services-> turn on Use GPS Satellites & GPS EPO Assistance & A-GPS & Use wireless networks (wireless networks not needed but i do it anyway). Make sure data is enabled aswell to update google maps.
Go into "GPS Status & Toolbox" and reset A-GPS under settings then exit, go back into "GPS Status & Toolbox" and it should download new A-GPS data if not go back into settings and click download. exit.
Go into GPS Test and check you have Sats showing up and bars on the signal graph, bars should move up depending on signal.
If it looks good go into googlemaps and see if it finds your house within 10 meters (not 100 or 1000, as that just means its using cell towers or wifi to locate you. GPS chip should actually lock within a meter or so).
Hope it works for you. as I mentioned earlier my gps does not work at all at the moment. But in theory you should be able to see something in gps test app even without the correct info in gps.conf file, will just take longer to lock.
what are NTP servers?
sometimes there are drift errors and dilution in time precision in the time keeping in GPS receivers. Getting a proper GPS fix all depends on high precision of time keeping. That is why NTP servers are used to correct time errors. Read more about Time Synchronization using NTP here. Yes, using faster or server more local to you will result in a faster TTFF (this is why you can also manually add the NTP servers closer to you from http://www.pool.ntp.org/, but faster fix should still work fine).
this is a simple manual gps.conf file for europe..
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org

Be careful:
1. Make sure its a GooApple V5 3G
2. Make sure you have root
3. Make sure you have backed up your initial recovery before playing.
Good Luck

With all due respect Anexonel needs a bit of help with his English.
But... "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king", so surely it is still for the better.
That being said he is a great guy and a tremendous asset to our community! Keep up the great work Anexonel!3Serious point here!!!!!
I have been helping people get their 'gooapple V5 3G' rooted and running the newest roms...
SEVERAL OF THEM HAVE PHONES THAT BEAR NO SIMILARITY TO A GOOAPPLE V5 a GOOAPPLE V5 3G or even a 'gooapple V6'.
NOT A GOOAPPLE V5 3G!!!!!
NOT A GOOAPPLE V5 3G!!!!!
Rooting is pretty similar across all android devices.
THE ROMS ARE VERY SPECIFIC TO HARDWARE.....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you know what device you are playing with before you make your life very difficult and ruin them....
I've said my piece.....
