i have just bought one 2nd-hand excalibur.It seemed normal at first but then when I got home, I access communication but I cant not turn on the wifi at any mean since there is no wifi icon on the screen. That's so helpless. Also, something weird that although i have the brand name of T-mobile but my rom is dopod c720 and it appear chinese word on the greeting screen everytime i boot up. I wondered that it is a fault rom, or it is because of my hardware. If it is cuz of my rom, can you guys show me how to modify or doing any mean to change to another rom. I am really annoyed with that chinese rom. Though i tried many way of flashing another rom but it always gives out the message of invalid model. Any help then. plz plz plz you guys. Really urgent. I am a bit regret of buying this "smart phone".
is it no way to help my belove c720. Or am I being fooled by buying the fake stuff
You might want to try to Hard Reset your device and see if the Wifi would be fixed..
How to Hard Reset?
Start - Accessories (Expert) - Clear Storage - Enter 1234
Hard Reset will wipe out all your data residing on the phone memory, so better backup first before proceeding. Data on the the Storage Card will remain intact and safe with a Hard Reset.
the hard reset was also tried out ages ago. But it seems not work
Just my 2 cent. in China they have no Wi-Fi version of Excalibur sold everythere. It appears that your device has been flashed with Chinese version . You shoud consider flashing your handset to firmware with known WI-FI support in it. I hope it helps.
P.S. Lets hope that your device didn't come from China and has no Wi-Fi chip in it at all. What is the model number of your handest? You can locate this information under the battery.
Good luck!
so i have to remove the battery first then look at the back of my excalibur. Then, which signal give me the information that it come from China or not. Does it have stuff like made in china or sthing like that. By the way, thx you guys very much for devotedly ansewred my questions. I'm newbie here so I need lots of help from u guys

Hello djlinh, I don't know if this helps you or not, but I bought my dopod C720W, (new) in Thailand and it comes with two languages that you can switch between, (English and Chinese). Just check your "SPACE" key to see if it has some Chinese letters, (in blue) on it. That's the way mine came. In any case my Wi-Fi worked fine with the original dopod WM5 ROM. I have since switched to the Russia, (WM6) ROM it working just as well, if not better. By the way I would recommend the Russia ROM . I've been using the Russia ROM for awhile now and to tell you the truth, I could care less if dopod comes out with an WM6 upgrade or not. I can't see it being any better than the Russia one. If you do go for the Russia ROM upgrade. I would suggest you read the various threads of this very helpful site and make some notes first. It will make things go a lot smoother for you. Cheers and good luck!
so can you guys get me a valid rom to flash. I tried to flash many of them but it became a failure. Can you do me a favor that give me a link work for my excalibur.

I own a Dopod C720 which is the version without WLAN. I know that the C720W has WLAN. Is it really a matter of the chip or could it just be based on the firmware whether WLAN is enabled or not?
In addition, I wish to flash the C720 to an all English version. The current version on my C720 is the Chinese/English version. A limited number of applications still only appear in Chinese characters in the English setting. Can someone tell me which version I need and where to get it from(send it)? I downloaded some RUUs but it seems that does not do the trick. e.g. there is still the Chinese operator logo which I do not like.
Thanks

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.
ITs 2 days old i did i update i found in the forum http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIs_launchROM.htm

This rom upgrade uti;ity does not design for your device please get proper rom.
Rom was for XDA II's. PDF on website said get restore rom but i cant find a link to that anywhere anyone got a o2 restore rom? i can try?
xda_IIs_LaunchROM_v1.12.162_178.exe is the restoration ROM
is it an original O2UK? operator id O2___001
did you do another upgrade prior to this one? Then it may have overwritten your operator id in your xdaiis
xda3nbftool, ER2003EDIt are useful tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=78053#78053
i think iv over written my operator thingi if i download the orginal rom how do i put it back to uk o2 so the update will work?
my daddy always said,
"if it aint broken, dont fix it."
The current situation the XDA IIS just displays USB v 2 0 6
soft or cold reboot wont change this, cradle dosnt seem to show connected. it has been working
I got a copy of Xda_IIs_LaunchROM_v1.12.162_178 i belive is the default rom for the xda IIs i try to run this and it say error 150 rom ugrade utility error
This rom utility dosnt not designed for your device.

i had same problem with you, just do the update again ignored what displayed in the screen.
ANYHELP??
Maybe this needs to be clarified on here and made into a sticky. The SourceO2 rom has been listed in error and calls to have it removed or even tested to prove its wrong are being ignored. Subsequently people such as yourselves are finding your devices have been turned into bricks! (Luckily not forever :wink: )

Unfortunately as far as I know there is not yet an official O2 rom for the Blue Angel device that is freely downloadable. But you will find in this forum roms from other operators that can be made to work as a perfect replacement.
Ash
Can anyone with new XDA2s just do image of all files on the XDA and affter that we may just upload that to these bricks wich we have now?
Please
Well my units gone bak to o2 to reflash if i can do a back up of the rom for the forum and its needed if somone told me how to i would certainly do that and upload it somere
Russ
How much it will cost and how long it will take to refresh tat in O2? An what reason You give to them?
Fixed?
Hey
Just got an e-mail back from source O2:
Hi Ashley,
apologies for the incorrect file published and thank-you for bringing it to our attention.
The error has now been rectified & I can assure you, tested. Its is available at the same link as previous;

Anyone with a Blue Angel (XDA 2s, MDA III, PDA2K) like to see if re-downloading this and trying it works?
Ash
It is installing but we will see if it is working after 20 min.
Ok it is working properly
Thanx for help
hmm
Well iv told them it just stopped working. Am still under the 14 day period so I can cancel with them for any reason I see fit. Said it be 7 days, so free.
Hmm
Well I guess us and few other will be back with our XDA II's back with o2 Rom.
From wot iv read the to have ROM is the I-mate one. But am scared to try this now. Does it drasticly get better on this rom.
Scared Russ
Im currently running rom version i780DXHA1
With this rom though it seems to randonly go into flight mode .
Is the rom on here a newer rom to the one i have installed?
Is there a newer/more stable rom available?
Thanks
No, I have the same version, but I don't have that problem.Maybe a program you installed that is conflicting?!
I have the same issue and there are severel people reporting the same problem over at ppcsg. I am on the same ROM as you, and i cant find any others.
In addition it looks like the guy who was posting the roms is now not able too, so it may be a while before we get anywhere with this.
Out of interest when you try to download the xtra info, does that also turn that phone off?
I was waiting for someone to post this problem. Glad that I am not the only one. The most annoying is, you cannot reset the PDA with the stylus.
So far, I cannot identify what causes the problem yet. It seems that whenever the signal is weak or the battery is below 50%, then it starts to auto shutdown more often.
I am planning to hard reset it over the weekend and identify if it is cause by programs.
Hi
I have the i780XBHA3, came preinstalled.
BR
Ahhh glad im not the only one then.....I have nothing installed and it still does the same.
The most annoying thing for me is i use my phone with tomtom.....And when it goes into flight mode it disconnects the Gps as it needs the network for the GPS to work.
Hopefully soon there will be a new rom updateto fix this problem.
Ive had to stop using mine as it just happens too often.
I think it is because of the data connection. I switched it off (by setting the connections to a empty network configuration) and the PDA has been working well. The minute I turned it on again, the PDA hung.
I remember I had the same problem with my 838pro. I have to wait for a radio rom upgrade.
Anyone of you who are not using data but pda still hangs?
Yeah that would make sense, because whenever i initiate a XTRA down it turns the phone off.
Lets hope a ROM comes out, rather than us having to send the phones in for an update.
Does anyone not have this problem at all?
If so what Rom version are you using?
Thanks
i have the same problem.
i love these forums becuase then I know its not me...
it only happens to me when i am in a place with low or no signal. it seems to shut off the radio as if to preserve battery, but i cant switch it on without a soft reset.
never had this issue.
im running i780XIHA7 which came preinstalled
Just thought i would update to say that i updated my complete ROM to the italian rom and then redid the PDA part with the english rom, and all problems have now gone, no more flight mode.
J273,
Same ROM as yours I780DXHA1. Freakin same problem!!! But it appears it only happens when I use the wifi on low battery or something.... i really dunno... but damn frustrating...
So what is the latest rom ?
Mine is i780HHA2
No problem here, using i780XKHA3, WM 5.2.1944 build 18547.0.7.3
I have a feeling that not all ROMs are affected. As for what is the latest ROM, I am not sure. It looks like the ROM versions go by regions or something as well.
I am from Malaysia and I bought my phone in Malaysia as well. I think my ROM version (i780DXHA1) is the same for the Singapore region as well.

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....
