The latest English ROM is Dopod 1.30.111 WWE(World Wide English) with latest Radio 1.11.00. The second is Qtek 1.30.77 WWE with Radio 1.09.00. They all can download at ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal with user name:xda and password:xda. But, read the detailed instructions before upgrading at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Upgrading your device with different ROM wil show you Country ID error and use the program instead at http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=9885

mrijnvis said:
i had the same with earlier updates. connect the device in a usb port not a hub, remove all cards, sim and memory
update ( maybe 2x because of language fault) then soft reset
in your case, maybe re update 1.09 then softreset

I had the same problem with a German T-mobile MDA PRO from Ebay and first think i did was to try and change the language.
First attempt went wrong and the phone would not turn on, but i flashed it again and all was OK.
I think the fault is the way you flash it. I discovered you must follow some important steps.
If the upgrade is a standalone file you must extract the firmware files in a directory like C:\flash (using winrar for example) where you can do the following:
1. Find MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and later use it to flash, DO NOT USE ROMUpgradeUt.exe.
2. Edit RUU.conf and add [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 at the end.
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode (bootloader mode is where it shows usb on top and v1.0 at the bottom, so your phone is allready there)
4. connect usb cable (do not use a usb hub, plug directly on the computer).
5. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and ----VERY IMPORTANT---- after the first screen when it displays the firmware version you are about to flash (it does not detect the version on the phone) WAIT 10 SECONDS. Then press continue, and wait for 20 minutes until it finishes.
Hope you make it...

HI MAN

Need Rom Asus P525

Hi all , I 've bought a ppc Asus P525 chinese ROm . Now I want to change the WWE Rom . ANyone have this Rom plwase PM me bye Yahoo messenger or this forum , thanks . Y!M : [email protected]

Any luck?
Did anyone contacted you?
I am looking for such a ROM myself.

Anyboby have it ? Please send it to me

i wrote so big post about my experiens with P525 and at last pressed on smile and opened new page deleted all i wrote
have no mood to write it again. I will tell shortly:
I also have P525 chinese version (TW CHT version)
1) currently, i don't know how to grab whole ROM from P525.
itsutils can grab whole ROM excluding bootloader. Grabber like Grab_it grabs only garbage and thus completely useless. ROM type is DOC (TrueFFS) which according what i found is hard to grab. If anyone knows how to grab ROM fully - tell me how.
2) Flashing only OS rom and without checksum is at first unknown procedure and at second can make from your P525 just expensive brick. Size of different language ROMs of P525 varies greately. Also, some P525 ROMS have extended ROM while others no. Taiwanese version has 3MB extended rom where KKBOX installer resides. It's easy to unhide it and remove KKBOX to free space for some other apps. HK version has no KKBOX, so i don't know is extended ROM present there or not. TW model has 61.75 of user storage space. IS there any HK users? how much user storage space in HK version? it can answer question: is there extended ROM in HK version or not. English version has 74MB (!!!) of free storage space and has no extended ROM. So, flashing different language OS (if to know how to flash) will probably lead device to non-responsible state.
3) there is bootloader flasher. you can enter it by holding down "record" button and press reset. But this flasher doesn't accept neither standard ROM update from ASUS site nor decrypted and renamed ROM. For me it tells that language is different. Ridiculous.. May be it will accept english ROM? Also, quick looking in hex editor i can see that bootloader can accept different file names and some strings relative to serial mode (console). Seems bootloader can be switched to different modes, but i don't know how to do this. Currently, in flasher mode P525 not recognized by desktop computer. even no any sound or other reaction telling that something pluggen into USB. Would be good to find more info about bootloader of ASUS P525.
Summary of key combination while pressing reset button (or turn on)
1) Hold jostick up -> enter to hard reset menu
2) Hold down record button (it's near camera button) -> enter to bootloader's flasher.
Meantime i mage english transformation installer for P525. After that P525 becomes fully english, till next hard reset of course. It eats user storage space of course, but at least my P525 is fully english!
Well, i'm not sure what is better: have CHT version + english transformation or ENG + chinese font and input because i need to read and write both languages. Actually, my chinese is very bad (only beginning) i defnately need english interface. What i like most in english ROM is 74MB of user storage space!!
May be some guru will have this wonderful device (much better than any available HTC device now) and will share some hacks :roll:

by the way, a week ago, ASUS had new update for HK and TW versions. After couple of days it has been removed. Anyone knows why?
I compared files: changes in couple of BT files, many updated files in Voice commander. That's all if i recall right. I didn't try to flash it yet.

ok. i programmed english ROM to my P525! works great!
now Storage space is 74MB! (61MB was with chinese version)

i'm continuing my monolog. Seems everybody with P525 only waiting for info..
after digging in bootloader code i found:
- found procedure to calculate checksum. this allowed me to flash english ROM dumped from english P525.
- Bootloader has several modes.
- key combinations for flashing different part of ROM. You need keep these buttons while pressing "reset" button (or while turning on):
1) Photo - update ROMGalaxy.nb0 (ROM without bootloader)
2) Record - update BootGalaxy.nb0 (only bootloader)
3) Photo+Record - update Galaxy.nb0 (whole ROM)
4) Photo+Record+Joistick_Action - USB Console mode
There is some check for Jostick_UP mode. I'm not sure if it can switch to another update mode or it's just for hardreset because Jostick_Up used for HR as well. ARM assembler for me is new. I used to read x86 assembler
Also, bootloader can accept standard ROM update from ASUS site - Galaxy.cap, but i didn't find the way of activate such mode. Probably it may be activated only by update application by calling this mode through IOCTRL function.
Another unclear thing is USB Console mode. I can connect to phone by mtty as to USB COM (something like \\USB_blah_blah - i don't remember exact name), but any attempt to type something doesn't produce any echo to screen. Either bootloader can not echoing or requires to type some authorisation command to unlock console mode. Or may be this mode support only direct file transfer without any commandline interface..
Bad thing is that nobody except me explore P525
Good thing about P525 ROM is that understandable by imgfs tools! No extra work required to dump all files and modules. and with no error! I guess, imgfs tools can compile new ROM also without errors. Opened door to ROM kitchen as for himalaya in the past?
Actually, i would like to add/modify/remove some components (like T9 languages). Since, i can flash old ROM anytime if cooked ROM will not work, why don't try.. just need to find some spare time and enough courage

Well mate, all this sound very good.
I am waiting to have some money and get one of those p525.

sorg. Great work!!
I also had lots of fun with the Flash process. Just found out that if I use the AC adaptor, the bootloader will complain "checksum error" while using the USB cable will not. I believe this is due to the design of the USB port (remember that the cable's 2nd,3nd legs are shorted)
I had successfully flashed the ENG ROM. However, now I would like to get the T9 CHT input back. I had tried to use the Asus "official" rom to flash the CHT version back (HK ver.) but the device keep complaining the "region" is not correct (I had already set the language ID to 0 , I believe this "error" should be caused by the extended ROM, but will try later when I got the CHT ROM )
Is there any tricks I had to do to modify the original galaxy.cap ROM image so that I could flash it though the boot loader instead of the ASUS official flash tools? or could you kindly upload the HK-CHT .nb0 ROM?
Deeply apprciate your help!
Cheers!

Hum, maybe using imgfs to dump the T9 input module out should be fine for us, sorg. (coz I need both ENG and CHT but need the ENG interface.... )
haha, mind to share how to manage the official ROM to .nb0 ROM? so that I could cook the ROM as well. HUM, getting the answering machine from GSMART-i and background-mixer than cook them into P525 should be very delicious. wahahaha

i gave you CHT ROM for bootloader flasher in PM.
Currently, i'm in final stage of my cooked ROM. It's based on english v3.29. I added chinese font/nls/input(T9, HW and SIP) and some other useful utilities. Also, since i'm russian i added russian input as well.
I think i will finish testing in couple of days.

Dear sorg,
Thanks a million for your guidience. I am browsing online materials and want to try to cook my own ROM. I had a friend who have a g-smart i WM phone. The phone comes with a s/w answering machine and a very good "background mixer" (which you can pretend you are in a busy environment during telephone call). Therefore, I would like to dump his ROM and check to see if I could use fsimg tool to get these 2 program out. can you show me a road to useful information?
(P.S. I had suspected that the ASUS autorun.exe block the flash process.... but just can't find where the "regional setting" is located in..... thanks for your bright help! YOU ARE NOW ANNOUNCED THE P525 GURU!!! )
Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

can you extract files and registry related to cheating utility from GSMART's ROM (or give me link to such ROM and name of exe file)?
i will try to put it into ROM.
Structure of P525 ROM is relatively easy. To decrypt ROM you have to XOR whole galaxy.cap file by mask A87BC0DF. Then you may use imgfs_tools utilities
But to flash ROM back you have to calculate checksumm of new ROM. I don't want publush function right now because it's still dangerous. not much known yet about P525 ROM. For example, flashing with wrong language and fail will lock your device to that language which probably you don't know. And if device will not able to finich boot to OS you will not able to use language unlock utility. I also found problem to flash bigger ROM update through bootloder's flasher. it always fail. Only way to update to bigger ROM is to use official chinese update galaxy.cap and only after that use hand-made ROM with the same or smaller size. Once you programmed smaller size, you will not able to program bigger one. Again have to use chinese official update.
I don't know why it happens. So, it's not right time to spread tools. When most things will be known then it will be safe to release.

ah, didn't see question about ROM dumping.
I thing, it's better to find update first.
Dumping works not on all phones. You may try to use itsutils. There is utility pdocread.exe which can dump TrueFFS DOC.

Hi sorg,
I had copied the pdocread.exe to the sd-card and run it on my friend's g-smart-i. It caused his phone to freeze..... I re-tried for a few time and now he refused to borrow it to me to continue the experiment... >_< (I should not do the experiment in front of him, and should poke the reset button secretly, hahaha) Well, I will continue to try to get the ROM, once I had successfully dump it out, will let you know at once!
What I intended to do is to use an ENG rom, use a 3rd party CHINESE engine (which I can turn off when not needed) and have the T9 input always resident in memory...... I had tried to copy all T9*.* to the /windows directory and imported the T9IME registry entry from CHT ROM to ENG ROM. It doesn't work at all, the result is that I am unable to change T9's mode (e.g. only able to input 123, can't even change to input ENG / T9 ENG). Waiting for your advice!
Cheers!

pdocread should be run on Desktop computer while PDA connected through activesync. Also you should enable RAPI on PDA (look for enable_rapi.cab on this forum).
Actually, i revised my archive or ROMs and found one version from GSmart. So, i think, no need frighten your friend anymore
unfortunately, i couldn't make neither AnswerMachine nor PhoneRec/Environment Cheater to work. Actually, all these three apps are pretending to work on P525. I can listen example of environment cheater in settings, AnswerMachine picks the phone in right time, PhoneRec opens dialog where progess of recording should be visible, but neither playback to phoneline nor record from there are workining There is topic about porting these apps on buzzdev board but so far no any positive results. Probably, gigabyte has some specific hardware allowing to interat with phone line, but all other Phones has no such ability
We are lucky that at least P525 allows record phone conversation (through any available recording software)! Most HTC devices have no even such feature!

please follow to this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279777
there is discussion about P525 ROM(s) with modified version i published.
any questions to me please ask in that topic.

HOW TO USE AN ENGLISH ROM to switch the SGH-i718 from Chinese into English

Hi there,
In another post I asked for a method of converting my strictly Chinese SGH-i718 into English. Now, I know that an English version exists, as you can buy an identical phone in English (i think that is the SGH-i710).
Someone posted a link to a file to purports to be an English ROM for the phone, and I have now downloaded it.
Links are http://rapidshare.com/files/45439904/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar.html
and
http://rapidshare.com/files/45950071/Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_Phone_Eng.rar.html
How on earth do I use the ROM without totally bricking my phone?
The file is named;
Juggler_WM6_i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.rar
When I extract it, I have an EXE file named;
i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng
which is described as "UnifiedMultiDownloader MFC 응용 프로그램"
When I open it, it has a screen that says "no phone detected" or something like that, and then it closes and the Microsoft Windows Data Execution Protection pops up and says it closed it to protect my computer.
1) Would you trust this file?
2) If yes, how does it work?
Thanks guys 'n' gals

May I ask where you get these files from?

As listed in the links in my post. They are not mine. The links were provided through another thread on a similar issue.

IT WORKS!
FYI: I used the PDA rom, the first one, and it works! It works incredibly well in fact. After use, when I switched the phone on, it started up in English and prompted me to set the phone up as if it was the first time it had ever been turned on. I will post the full instructions tomorrow (4:30am here and I can't be bothered right now)

It's Done!! Here's How
Well, here's the deal. The forums only work if people help each other. If I were to find out how to do it and not tell you, it would defeat the purpose of having forums and being able to help each other in the first place.
So anyway, I ended up finding a forum with a bunch of awesome Chinese people who helped me to flash it. I already had the file from another forum, and the fact that this guy posted the exact same files, then gave me a step-by-step, made me confident that this flash would actually work.
I have now successfully used the process below to flash the PDA part of my i718. I HAVE NOT FLASHED THE PHONE (RADIO) PART YET BECAUSE MY ORIGINAL PHONE ROM IS STILL WORKING AFTER THE FLASH OF THE PDA ROM.
Here is the process below with no spelling mistakes corrected...
Samsung i718 PPC Phone flash ROM procedure + WM6 English ROM
(A) CABLES
Two Cables are needed for i718 to flash rom.
Cable 1 = USB Cable accompany with your PPC Phone for ActiveSync for the flash of ROM.
Cable 2 = Special USB Phone Flash Cable for the flash of Phone Function ... it seems to be the Radio ROM. It is competible with Samsung normal phone model D828.
USB Phone Flash Cable Info from Taobao site:
Phone Flash Cable 1
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db2-bd590543d74abee85f6e49e9376b2cca.jhtml
Phone Flash Cable 2:
http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-0db1-c02f02c2861d77ee6cdc7109e5648732.jhtml
(B) FLASH ROM (PDA FUNCTION)
1. Charge PPC Phone to full power.
2. PC with ActiveSync V4.5 installed.
3. Inside the ActiveSync connection settings, <UNCHECK> Allow USB connections and <CHECK> Allow connections to one of the following: COM? (The port number is your USB will be connected). (trial and error until you get a successful Activesync connection)
4. POWER OFF your PPC Phone and connect it with the USB cable to the PC. (Use cable 1)
5. Run the downloaded WM6 ROM <i718ZMGF4_PDA_Eng.exe>; and choose Detect in POP-UP screen when the program started.
6. Check your PPC Phone is firm connected with PC and POWER ON your phone now.
7. The original ROM program will auto flash the new ROM into the PPC Phone.
8. Just pay attention to the screen of the PPC Phone and follow and instructions pop-up to finish the whole upgrade.
9. After completion, you can check your ROM version inside the PPC Phone, and it will be the new <Version i718ZMGF4>.
(C) FLASH RADIO ROM (PHONE FUNCTION)
1. Install the phone flash driver which is inside the CD that is accompanied with the Cable 2 .
2. POWER OFF your PPC Phone and connect it with the USB cable to the PC. (Use cable 2)
3. Run the bootloader flash program <Qingdao_downloader_v04.exe> inside the folder of <i718ZMGF4_PhoneRom>.
4. In the program screen of <Files to Download>:
1st Boot Loader: Click BIN... choose boot.bin file.
2nd Main Binary: Click BIN... choose i718ZMGF4.cla file.
3rd BP Engine: Click BIN... choose bpexec.bin file.
5. Check your PC's COM number connect with this cable and set the COM Port speed according this cable.
6. Then inside this program choose the Serial Port: COM? (same as your PC's COM Port number).
7. Click the <START> button and it will start to check your Phone ID (if it cannot find the ID, your can disconnect the cable and insert it again to try OR power on the phone to help this Phone ID checking).
8. When Phone ID checking is sucessed, Click the <ALL DOWNLOAD> button to start to flash.
9. After flash is completed, reset the PPC Phone by input *2767*3855# to process.
CAUTION in RADIO ROM FLASHING:
When flashing the Radio ROM/Phone Function or after flash, it will show <Phone Error, Run Later> or similar words. It is normal because the PPC Phone is under phone function flashing procedure and cannot be used. After all upgrade is finished, you just power off the PPC Phone and turn it on again to make it back to normal to fully finish the upgrade procedure.
.....................
So there is it everyone. I hope this helps you to flash your Chinese version Samsung SGH-i718 and enjoy it as much as I am currently.

I'm pretty sure that the i710 and i718 are identical. I think the i710 was designed for sale in western countries, whereas the i718 is specifically branded for Chinese markets.
I think the firmware would be similar, just in other languages.
Give this conversion method a try!

the rom is ok for i710
pda part use usb cable
phone part use serial cable (i used also one prolific based cable)

sorinm

how can i use this ROM with vista ( non compatible with active sync)
Tthanks

flashing under vista is not supported! flasher is 2k/xp compatible only!

Hi ,I´m very curious about this upgrade : how stable is tis rom ? what changes in fact ? thanks for any answers.

i have upgraded my phone i710 well but after upgrading my gprs sto working.i tried all kinds of settings but its not working ,is this s a bug in this rom.
i warn all other members too
and pls any one tell me how can i come back to my perivious wm5,bcoz without gprs my ppc s just a brick

Don't panic! To get gprs working you must flash both pda and phone parts of firmware. Read first post to learn how to do this. To get back wm5 you need to serach something like I710XEGF2 (xe means russian variant, which is yours i don't know) in google. If you still need WM6, but have no possibility to flash phone part (have no cable etc..) you need to find an official samsung update for I710 (not I718) - something like I710UXEGG1 (U means WM6, XE means russian again).

brother i need my perivious wm5 rom. i cannt live without gprs on my phone.pls give me any link for my i710 original firmware.
i also want to tell u that i had made a backup by using sprite backup,can it restore my perivious wm5 firmware.plsss guide me

Pls attach d picture of flas cable for radio rom,is it available in india.
Or how can i make my new cable

Hello everyone, I found this thread from google search, I have a China version of SGH-i718+ , This phone was given by my dad, I can barely read any chinese, so I wish could convert this to english version, I believe it runs WM6 Chinese.
Does this rom works for this phone? or is there a newer rom?
and where can I purchase the cables , thanks for the help guys.

this works, just a little change to the instructions to get the PDA part flashing..
- disable active sync usb connection
- disable com port connection
run the flashing program,
select detect & start downloading immediately
plug in your phone and hold the power button until the blue bar starts moving..

Asus P750 - upgrade to VGA - How stable??

I saw the thread on this forum about the VGA ROM for the P750...
Unfortunately I am not an expert at all and perhaps maybe not the right place here for me to ask but here it goes,
Can I easily install and remove the ROM in case the the VGA patch starts bugging? and how do you install the ROM, is there are step by step manual floating around?
any feedback greatly appreciated!
bras

Hi, I did install the VGA ROM vers. 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK and also tried the 0.17 by Sorg.
I didn't link the dual-mode keyboard (RUS-US) of the 0.17 and I think it has a higher memmory comsumition. So, I prefered the 1.02.
The 1.02 is stable, and the only problem I noticed is about the Live Messenger that do not works. The VGA screen is realy better!!!
If you do not like, you can install other dumped ROM or one of those you can find at asus website.
To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset.
To install de Shipped: put the .cap file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + up + power + reset.
Here both methods works finte.

Depends, if your ROM is avaiable at Asus site you dont. Mine was WWE UK, there has just WWE SG, TH and MS at asus site. I restored my to SG with no broblems, just did the forced mode 1st and after coud do the normal one.
Wich ROM is currenty on your device (settings/ system / system information / version)?

I am running the VGA 0.17 Base and am very happy with it, only the Keybaord Thing drives me crazy and CoolCamera is a bit crappy......... But once you have seen the VGA, believe me you dont want to go back to QVGA. Also WM6.1 more stable in my Opinion than WM6.0 and few nice Things like a real Taskmanager......... attached a screenshot !!

I am using ROM version 4.8.4 NLD_NL00? is that for the Netherlands?

To install de Dumped: put the .nb0 file on a microSD (not HC) and press voice memo + down + power + reset........................
how hard can this be?
I installed 1.02 by Sorg & GreatVK file but when I (try) to press all 4 buttons above a screen comes up saying
Flashrom Update.....
IPL: iplPegP_4H3
but nothing really happens
what s going wrong? how u press all these buttons together?

Right Hand on Voice Button and Slider, left hand on J/Stick Press Reset w Stylus using your mouth....... Remember when flashing from SD Card only plug-in Cable after this...
Also for Cap File J/stick up and for nbo File J/stick up.....

sorry for this long message but I need to get this device running VGA along with another 3 collagues who will be operating the same device
to flash ROM/install the VGA patch ::
On the Asus mobile club it is explained as:
The way the first - with MicroSD card
1)take (preferably clean, just formatted) MicroSD card no more than 2GB (MiniSDHC PODOYDET NOT!) And copy it, the root, file PegasusP.nb0
2) present the card into the phone, the phone or connect to a computer or to power supply.
3)joystick down and slide the button to switch off the top Hold these buttons in a position to release and push briefly reset (now come in such rastopyrku ASUS!).We continue to hold the button until butbloka server It shall commence proceedings firmware
ok so installing the root folder which is thiS? My MicroSD folder is completely empty and how do I know it s not HC?
for the record, the joystick button needs to pressed down or up? manual above says down, you say up!
thanks for yr help

it seems to work now to some extent
in the boot menu it says ' PEGASUS NBO not found'
I checked in mobile explorer, the file is sitting there..
coulld it not work because my p750 is running on a Dutch ROM??? (the WM language is Dutch witch is not changeable it seems)

Copy The File PegasuP.nb0 to the just formatted Card, remember you must format FAT16 !! and then it should find it.......

Oh the the Card will say HC on it if it is !! To flash to another Asus OEM Rom (like WWE English) put the AsusP750.cap File on the Card and do the same Procedure only push the Joystick UP, then it will ask to be plugged into either USB or Charger Cable, after you do this the Boot will start. Then extract the the whole OEM Firmware onto the Card and upgrade again.

Hi All,
Will the above describe procedure force-load a ROM that is from a different region than the original ROM? There are some new 6.1 WWE ROMs on the ASUS website, but I can't get them to load since my phone is not from any of the regions available.
Has anyone tried the new ROMs? Any recommendations?
Dan

P800 chinese dual sim Android - upgrade to 2.2.1

I have this P800 dual sim that runs on Android 2.2 (which in fact I think it is 2.1) and a Chinese Ingenic JZ4760 CPU (600 mhz), 256 RAM, 256 ROM. It has capacitive screen, GPS and Wi-fi. I'm desperate to install Android 2.2.1 on it for some tweaks and I don't know how because I'm new at this. I contacted the supplier but he couldn't help me with this.
Main problems:
1. Where can I find a working ROM for this so I`ll still have the dual sim option? Can't I just install a ROM from any other chinese dual sim or it has something to do with the drivers, CPU on the phone? I saw the hero H6 modding thread here on xda..
2. How do I make a full back up of the phone so I can go back to the original settings if something goes wrong?
3. How do I install new ROM without bricking it?
4. Is it absolutely necessary to root before I install the new Android?
If you want more information about kernel, hardware or anything else I can tell you from "Android system info" application that I installed on it. I might be a noob but I can learn really fast.
Please help! I just need you people to point me into the right direction.
To see the phone just search "P800 Android" on google

this files was taken from russian forum (forum .china-iphone .ru / viewtopic .php?f=22&t=11424)

Thank you for this. I will try it. I just have some questions: who made this firmware? and why don`t they talk in english so everybody can understand? I need to know if anyone used this firmware and if there will be updated firmwares in the future.

This firmware is made by manufacturer of p800, "rooted" system.img repacked by enthusiast from Israel. I'm and other users from topic about p800 of forum china-iphone.ru use this firmware. Reseller in China promise to send newer firmware on this week. As soon as it happen, link will be available at that topic.
On that forum everybody talk in Russian and foreign-speaking peoples uses Google-translate service to understand us.
For me, for example, English is not comfortable. (I think you can see it in my posts because my grammar).

When the new firmware is available can you please post a link in this topic too?
And since you use this firmware can you tell me if some of the problems I have, are solved? For example:
-Android market working?
-proximity senzor
-microphone
-did you get rid of all those useless chinese applications?
-is it Android version 2.2 or 2.2.1?
-wireless working?
-bluetooth working (sending/receiving)
-both cameras working?
-GPS navigation with iGO working?
-if you reset the phone at factory settings do you lose the IMEIs?
what did you do to install this firmware?

Is adobe Flash and adobe reader working? what about yahoo messenger?

Ok, I'll post link to new firmware, when it will exist.
Mic on my phone working excellent, Android 2.2, proximity sensor worked on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B11, but on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16 it is not working, both cameras taking photos, but not video. GPS works with (download .osmand .net /latest-night-build/OsmAnd-stable.apk). Wifi is ok. I didn't here about loosing IMEI by this device. I didn't use Andr. market. Now when you have root access you may uninstall everything yourself.

would you please see if the bluetooth, android market, flash player and yahoo messenger is working? Do I need offline maps for OsmAnd to work?

Just now I send a *.docx file to Nokia phone by bluetooth without any problem. OsmAnd as i know will ask you to download offline maps at first run (You need just select Country/region you want to download) BUT i don't know is it free or not. My phone have no internet connection now, thats why i can't help you with flash and yahoo

Hi,
I've questions about this phone. I've see this chinese model with new processor and dual sim support. On the paper it seems a very nice product:
http://www.shanzai.com/index.php/ma...00-phone-running-on-a-chinese-made-jz4760-cpu
but the problem is when i want to find to buy this product
1. is only in english or chinese (french is my mother tongue)
2. i had 3 p/n z800 or p800 or pz800 (in russia)
3. in some site it claims it's a MTK6515 cpu inside and is only a fake on the system properties for the p800
4. in all site it claims 256 ram and 512 rom, but in this topic you say 256/256
for exemple here for P800:
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5...droid+22+os+GPS+Dual+sim+card+phone+wifi.html
and here for z800:
http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/s...iFi_JAVA_GPS_Qaud_Band_GSM_Smart_Phone_-37579
Where is the truth?
Finally if it's really the new Ingenic CPU, it's really better than a MTK6516?
Thanks for you advice

Hello.
1. Android on this phone (like on other) is multilingual (French exist exactly)
2. As i know p800 = z800 = pz800.
3. If it will be useful to you I can say that i owned Toshiba portege g810 for 1.5 years, p800 is really better. It is not so fast as HTC HD2, but not so slow as Toshiba Portege g810.
4. I don't know about it's ROM and RAM, beside it is enough for me.
Now some useful application are not installable on p800, but i believe that new firmware will made progress in this.
Some users said, that old versions of firmware had problems with low sensitive mic, now it is ok.
Till now the preamp level of speaker are too high, that is why not comfortable to use it on max volume.
And the 3rd difficulty us in setting up navigation software, people says, that it is impossible to install iGo or navitel (OsmAnd is workable).
The next problem is inability of setting max ringer alert volume, when speaking volume is not on the max level.
The quality of materials and manufacturing are high.
Oh, i forgot to say about excellent touch and bright (suppose AMOLED) screen.
The CPU model is jz4760
P. S. In store where i bought it the details are mistaken too ( www .aliexpress .com /fm-store/403972/210660520-441180847/Hot-Selling-2011-Android-2-2-Phones-P800-phones-with-gps-wifi-java-dual-sim-dual.html)

Please tell me step by step how did you root and install this firmware. If you could answer today it would be great. I tried to root with SuperOne Click to make a full backup in case something goes wrong but it didn`t work and I opened USBbootTool.exe but it`s in chinese and I don`t know what to do. A video tutorial would be really nice..

Step 1. Installing the driver loader.
0. Unpack the archive with the firmware.
1. Turn off the phone, remove battery.
2. Hold down the "volume up" button and connect to the cable.
3. Remove your finger from button. =)
4. PC will find new device and ask the driver (is sited in the "uboot_driver" folder).
5. after installing the driver to turn off the phone from cable.
Step2. prepearing Root
1. Replace file "system.img" in "img" folder with "system.img" from dedicated archive.
Step 3. Flashing:
1. Run USBBootTool.
2. Turn off the phone, detach battery.
3. Hold down the "volume up" button on the phone and connect USB-cable.
3 1/2. remove your finger from button.
4. The process will start automatically.
5. After flashing you'll see Chinese dialog window - it ask you to enter the serial number of 14 digits that has no matter.
6. After that, just insert the batteries, and power on your phone.
Warnings
1. This oeration will DELETE all your custom files, thats why backup phonebook to SD-card or to PC
2. Connect USB-cable to backplate of your PC and use original cable or better if possible.
3. Win 7 x64 didn't install that driver. You must use x86 (32bit) windows versions.

Thank you for the reply. Where can I get that serial number? And what do you mean it doesn't matter? What settings did you had in USBbootTool? Mine is in chinese.

Hi!
I didn't fill serial number at all, somebody fill this with random digits.
USBbootTool is in Chinese, all settings are correct, you do not need to change anything there. Just follow the instruction.
Good luck!

Thank you very much. It works.
1. After you unpack the archive the Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16_生产版本 folder must be renamed to Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16
2. The steps were correct but I don`t know how to verify that it`s rooted
3. Like you said it didn`t work on my Win 7 x64 so I went to my neighbor who had Win XP
4. I put 11111111111111 when it asked for serial number and it worked so it doesn`t matter indeed
5. Proximity senzor not working at all
6. Android keyboard missing (Sogou Input instead)
7. The name of the operators still doesn`t appear in notifications just like before. There are just some numbers: 22610 for Orange and 22603 for Cosmote
8. USSD code for Cosmote still not working. *123*2# - This is for showing me how many messages I have left on Cosmote.
I will test different applications so I can see what's working and I`m waiting for updated firmwares from you. Thanks again. You`ve been very helpful. There should be more people like you.

Thank you for comment.
I'm just translating information from Russian topic. And giving my experience of using this phone.
2. To verify rooting i'd install Root Explorer and now it is possible to set RW parametr on system folders. Some application start workig after changing firmware, before this apps said that root permission missed.
5. Yes, proximity sensor is not used by interface in this firmware.
6. Android keyboard are able to be selected. For example, open messages and choose creating of new SMS then made long press on text field and tap "select input method" appeared, you need to choose "Guboi alphabetic..."
7th & 8th problems are nod fixed yet

Hello everyone, I have the same phone and when I was trying to root it start making problems and then it's not booting anymore, so this firmware is very important to me, I'm in United Arab Emirates and it's almost impossible to download from Rapidshare. So can anyone be kind and upload both of the firmware to any other site midiafire will be great if possible

http://www.mediafire.com/?ptgu7rdps2gjd22
http://www.mediafire.com/?5j53v5x0zg6zc1c
At the end just wait until it doesn`t do anything anymore(just be patient), then unplug the cable, put the battery and power it on(don`t put the battery with the cable pluged, you could distroy the battery). The booting will take a little longer than before.
If you can root it, please tell me how you did it..
