hello everyone. i had an issue with the latest upgrade supplied by the vendor of my imate jasjar. after so many tries, the vendor asked me to return the piece for checking it. now, they said they want to check whether there was any other rom installed on the device or not!!
my question is; could there be a way whereby they can really check the history of any rom and ext_rom installed once on the device, could this be through hardware or software?
please help since i need to know this part. hey, all the gurues out there, this one is for you all!!!

I have just downloaded the rom upgrade off the O2 website (ver 1.60.50) and installed. Initially it was trying to connect to the internet! Eventually I got it working, but after hard resetting the version still says 1.60.00wwe, Rom date 12/03/03, extRom ver 1.60.50 - all as before.
Does anyone know if the upgrade has actually worked but the info not been updated, or does this mean that the update hasn't worked and I must have had an error somewhere?
Any help, advise appreciated.
I thought these forums where to help each other out and provide information. It is disappointing that no one wants to help, or provide a little guidance.

Absolutely nothing changed?
I thought it's not possible? Did you see a progress bar on XDA's display during the upgrade? if so, the memory has been accessed, so your rom is the new one, there is just a mess in identification. As far as I know, extROM changes the identity (it is it's main purpose), did you use it?

Maybe I'm wrong - but it seems that you are upgrading from 1.60.50 to 1.60.50. Right? As such, everything WOULD be the same!
I did see the progress bar, and the documentation before the upgrade on the O2 website sugests the Rom to be 1.60.00wwe and the extRom to be 1.60.50
I would have expected the actual Rom to now be 1.60.50wwe.
Has anyone else managed to upgrade to the official O2 ROM that is on their site and can confirm the ROM info? Also what apps etc would confirm that it has been upgraded if the info hasn't been updated but upgrade has work?
Many thanks for help and advice.
I'm not sure, but doesn't higher number mean later+better ROM?
If yes, have a look at 1.72 by T-mobile - there should not be many differences! :lol:
Since I have only just bought it I don't want to upgrade to an unofficial ROM in case it invalidates the Warranty should anything go wrong with it. May look at using a ROM from another supplier in a few months though.
Can anyone confirm if the ROM ver should be changed?
Thanks

You need to give people time to reply mate - we don't LIVE on these forums you know.
Anyhow, to answer your posts, yes, you have worked it out, the O2 ROM update, which is described as 1.60.50, is actually just the extended ROM element.
The system ROM is still 1.60.00
This confused me, and no doubt, lots more people too, and it's a bit STUPID of O2 to describe it this way.
Thus, you have in effect flashed your XDA2 to the exact same ROM it had before hand.
Curses to O2 for the confusion. Not good of them!
Thanks, and sorry for being impatient
O2 need to sort this out as I have done a ROM upgrade that could have fried my machine if I did it wrong that was unneccessary.
Thanks again.
Well, O2 is not alone in this - the current i-mate ROM is listed as 172126. The ROM version is 1.72.00, but the Extended ROM is 1.72.126.
I think they do this for internal tracking purposes. They get the ROM from MS, but they tweak the ExtROM themselves. It is possible for them to release multiple ExtROM versions in the same ROM version, so THAT is what they specify.
Make sense? Just a stab in the dark as to the logic of the release numbers.
Okay I need some major help. During an exhaustive search to find out why my Cingular 8125 does not have BT Stereo capabilities I found this forum. According to a couple of threads the v2.17 ROM Upgrade should fix this issue. Well I ran the upgrade and not only do I still not have the wireless stereo, but under my device information....my ROM version is showing 1.8.11.1 WWE....NOT 2.17. I dont know what to do......does anyone have any ideas? In addition I cannot find a thread that tells me how to unlock my SIM. My model number is WIZA100.

As far as the ROM flashing goes - I had a similar problem where the OS ROM wasn't updating. Mine was from one summiter ROM version to another, but I found that flashing back to the original Cingular ROM (using summiter's stock 1.8 Cingular ROM) and then flashing with the 2.17 ROM worked.
Thanks CameronJ....so, did you run the add on seperate from the ROM upgrade in order to the A2DP working? According to summiter, the 2.17 upgrade was supposed to include the A2DP. Ah well....I will try the addon and see if that works for me. Thanks again.
I actually don't really care about A2DP - I don't use my phone for listening to music - so I can't help you with that question unfortunately.
Same issue
I have the same problem but doing as you said did not correct it. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Your problem is with the OS upgrade not taking? Are you sure that you have unlocked your phone? What's your current OS version?
Hello,
I hope it's not an absolutely newbee-question ...
I just installed my first "not-official" ROM on my P535 smartphone:
P535-WM6.1-MANILLA 2D-BLACK VERSION BUILD 19974.1.2.8 WWE(PVA9)ROM6.1_BUILD19974_BLACK_VERSION.zip
I'm pretty impressed by the new features but unfortunately I ran into one problem: After I flashed the new ROM I tried to install my navigation software "Navigon Navigator", but without success. The "device id" of my Asus changed and therefore my activation key for the navigation software is not valid any more.
Does anyone know how this unique device id is generated? Will a downgrade back to the original ROM solve my issues? Or any other hints?
Regards,
ChrischMan
You should try another rom.
Hi,
I tried another but unfortunately get the same but new unique id.
Regards,
ChrischMan
Nobody with the same problem or some deeper knowledge concering this **** unique id?
Regards, ChrischMan
U can try adding in the Owner's information. Some programs uses this to generate the key.
Hi All, I've ordered euro version from amazon and they sent it to my relative there, who came here to egypt, now I found it is T-Mobile version, so I can't get arabic rom, or install programs, (when I do it says "can't be opened either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the component can't be found), also I'm unable to sync, when I connect nothing happens although I have WMDC v 6.1, sorry for being noob but this is my 1st winmo device

If they sent you the wrong version, then they are at fault and should allow you to return the device for a refund or exchange it for the correct version. If you are at fault for not reading the list thoroughly enough, then your simplest recourse would be to learn to flash a custom ROM. This would allow you to install the language support you need. If that will be your direction, then read the thread HERE to learn what you need to do.
Thanks so much, no it's not my fault, it's their's but I'm now in egypt, and it's too hard for me to return it back, (also there's a few governmental problems here), most of the problems up are solved now, but I'll try to flash a custom ROM, so any suggestions on the best one that I can use with T-mobile version?

There's no such thing as a "best" one. There is a link in my signature that will point you to most of the ROMs available for this device, however. Basically, just flash different ROMs until you find something you like. Asking for the best ROM is like asking a stranger what the best pants are. It varies based on opinion.
Yesterday I bricked my brand new P8000(B) - the new version with Marshmallow 'out of the box' (and the new SIM slots etc...)
I tryed to reflash several stock- and custom ROM's but they don't work because they are made for the 'old' version and there must be major differences in the hardware. At the moment the main problem is that the LCD driver is wrong and the display shows only lines and blurry spots
The Phone was running on ROM "P8000_6.0_20160516" - this ROM is not available at needrom or bbs.elephone.hk even Google doesnt know
It would help a lot if some could supply the ROM "P8000_6.0_20160516" - thank you!

I can do nothing else than blaming you, I wrote a reply yesterday to the eragon forum that there's someone else who flashed -not even a custom rom- just the root .zip that was for the "old" p8000 and got his phone bricked the same way as you (LCD driver problem). That's why I asked for a dump/backup. It could have been useful for you too (as in this case) and for the other guy too. But nevermind, I hope that you learn from this for later things... anyways, the other guy has contacted elephone on their facebook, so I hope you'll get the rom so you can use your device again. Good luck!
I have this version too, just got it today.
If someone can explain to me how to create the scatter file and the backup, I'll do it.
I have some experience with this stuff, but MTKDroidTools tells me unknown rom structure.
Any help?
I do have the same problem (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/general/rom-p8000-t3431571 ). I just wanted to root the phone because I liked to change the wifi modem file but i didn't even realize that I got another version of the phone at this point, so I bricked it.
I also contacted the support via facebook, but the support guy had to ask the engineers for help.
But maybe someone can help Emileh taking a dump of his phone, that would be really great!
@ardrift
you are sooo right but I have'n expected that two phones of the same type contain conplete different hardware respectively the firmware is not supporting both hardware versions. Even the manufacturer does not metion to check the hardware version before flashing...
@Emileh @flo1k
I do have a second 'untouched' P8000(B) too - and I'm starving to copy the firmware from this working phone to the faulty phone if someone could explain how...
problem solved
flo1k managed to get a stock ROM for this hardware version - the softwarepackage is named K06TE-A.A.vR14.E1.160707 and should be available at the elephone forum soon....
