Are the instructions for installing the GooApple 3g rom the same as V5? When I hold down the volume key and power button, it stops on GOOAPPLE screen, the android man with a question mark never shows up? thanks
I found that to get to the boot screen on the gooapple 3g you hold the power and home button down when phone is off. after that your guess is as good as mine thats where im stuck.
There seem to be a lot of problems with this update I’m going to get Shine at Android-sale to pitch in with his ideas
Hey, i just bought the Gooapple 3g and wanted to update to the English ROM ive done everything instructed to do but it dont seem to work and when i get to the boot screen to run update its all in Chinese and i cant understand it, ive downloaded the “ApUpdate” the “android OS gingerbread” and “gooapple iOs” but none of them seem to work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway to can post a screenshot of the Chinese?

Get in touch with the people you bought it from. It could be a dud unit.
