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..
First of all this is not my work, i was not able to the team with this, but i was following everything and have a heads up as well..
Note : Links Updated
biktor_gj over at XDA along with ULTRASHOT managed this.
NOTE : IF YOU HAVE A LUMIA 800 WITH QUALCOMM , PM ME
Second : IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU READ PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS!
GET IN TOUCH WITH ME OR A MOD, WE WILL HELP YOU.
I CAN TRY TO HELP YOU REMOTELY BUT WE'LL NEED TO ADJUST THE TIME.
Third : There is some risk in this if you dont do it correct by yourself, myself and no one is responsible for your device.
This is all under your own risk.
Even if we help you i tell you till now i havent nor any of my friends havent bricked a phone.
To make sure, we are well aware of how this works.
You need Something called as a Qualcomm on 800 and 710
For a 710 device , any 710 can be unlocked, even if it has a DLOAD.
For an 800, only a device showing up as Qualcomm can be unlocked.
A DLOAD in 800 cannot be unlocked as yet.
To know what type of Loader you have follow this :
Open device manager in you PC (Just so you dont miss the driver installation, its better view able in Device manager)
Power off your phone , dont plug the USB as yet.
Hold VOLUME UP button and plug the USB in the PC.
Check device manager.
You will have a DLOAD or a Nokia cable connectivity or a Qualcomm technology.
In case of DLOAD and Nokia cable connectivity. Nothing else will be noticeable.
If you get a Qualcomm, u will get a box to format Disk, say NO!
SO now
Qualcomm = unlocked bootloader
DLOAD = Locked bootloader
* UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER = NO NCS = YES CUSTOM ROM
* LOCKED BOOTLOADER = YES NCS = NO CUSTOM ROM
For Lumia 710 users, u need to flash a Qualcomm bootloader (Unlocked bootloader) to enable Qualcomm , so u can Full Unlock your device.
If You have DLOAD, follow the full tuto.
IF you have a Qualcomm, goto step B.
[glow=red,2,300]Important : Flashing a CUSTOM ROM, to full unlock your phone will need a HARD RESET , in which you will loose all your data.
I would recommend you back up all your data, mostly just sync your pics and stuff of you PC and sync your contacts to your LIVE ID.[/glow]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A.To install Qualcomm Bootloader in Lumia 710:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9kM0hDMgWA&feature=youtu.be

Run NSS PRO as administrator
Power off your phone and disconnect the USB from the PC
Now hold volume UP key and plug it into the USB
Then you should be able to Write OS perfectly.
14.While entering LIVE ID during setup it asks for activation code.
Go here HERE
Chat with them and ask for activation code and enter it in the device and proceed.
I am not responsible fro any damage done to your device, you take all responsibility for what you do.
Backup your DPP partition or use my tool to avoid lost the activation code
Then the step 14 is not needed

Hi,
If the Qcom loader still running in RAM - yes, you can fix. If removed from USB,
watchdog restarted it, battery drained, etc - no way for now to fix.

I'm kinda noobish with WP flashing, I have a T-Mobile USA branded Lumia 710 and I've heard that the Nokia Network Setup app has been missing for months now, if I am unable to get it with the stock ROM will I be able to flash like an official Indian ROM with this guide? someone told me a version that has preloaded the Nokia Network Setup on it, I've heard also about Russian versions...
any feedback would be appreciated

Hi! Thanks for this simple to understand but amazing guide! I did it, but when finish the phone asks me for the PIN number. I entered the default carrier PIN of my SIM card and it says that it's incorrect PIN. Is this number it asks the activation code you mentioned a few posts ago?

The PIN should be your carrier PIN, the other part is the activation code for LIVE services
You should put a direct link to the dev website because a new version is available
I'm grateful for any ideas at this point. The model no. is 4037R, the provider ID is: 4037R-2BVHCA1 (n.b. The Alcatel OneTouch Pop D3 is very similar if not same as the "Evolve 2" model).
Using SP Flash Tool I tried "Firmware Upgrade" as an option when I was having errors. But I had no preloader file to flash, note. Even though all options were checked, I only had the recovery.img file to flash. I think this bricking may have occurred because I flashed the wrong MT65xx MediaTek scatter file. The one that came with the files, MT6572, wouldn't work ending with a "BROM" error 1003. It said the chip was an MT6582. So I flashed a generic MT6582 scatter file. That finally gave me the "OK", but of course it wasn't OK. The phone is no longer recognized by adb, and just barely recognized by the PC.
Problem is, I'm not exactly sure what MediaTek chipset this phone has, and where to get the scatter file for it, and more importantly, where to get the firmware for it (which should contain the scatter file, if I'm not mistaken). Apparently, you can definitely unbrick these types of phones if you have the right scatter file! Needless to say, I did not make backups of anything!
I don't claim to be an expert but maybe I can be of assistance. Sounds like you might have flashed a wrong preloader or something. If the computer still reads it then you still have hopes of flashing the right one if you can get your hands on it. If you can provide a picture showing your model number/ provider ID, I might be able to assist you.

You can unbrick it with the right file. Unfortunately i have them in OSP format which is probably useless to you since I don't have the password to unzip it. To find out the chip you can use MTK Droid Tools. Based on what you said, I can say with uttermost confidence that you have a preloader/boot issue seeing as you probably flash a blank partition over them. The right file will definitely fix it but i haven't found one yet. Will keep looking for you. Would be a breeze if you were in Saint Lucia. lol
Edit: Also something I feel the need to point out is that the 4037* phones have different chipsets and their roms are NOT interchangable. Even the same model (your for example) under different carriers (2BVHCA1 in your case) sometimes give mixed results which i learned the hard way (I had a 4037A working on recently)
That sounds very likely that I flashed a blank partition as you mention, since at one point I chose "firmware upgrade", to try to get past an error I was getting. This forces checkmarks on all ROM sections (including preloader), even though I only had a file for recovery. Unfortunately, MTK Droid Tools (and adb) is pretty useless to me now, as it won't recognize the phone. It looks like I can only flash things via SP Flash Tool.
Since I have no hope any longer of finding a stock ROM for a 4037R OneTouch Pop D3, much less a scatter file, I was really hoping that I could try to flash whatever ROM I can get my hands on that is the closest to it. ie. An "Evolve 2" (4037T)? But if what you say is so, that it has to be the exact ROM for this model, then I don't know how I''ll ever find that. Even a search on Alcatel's website for the 4037R turned up 0 results!
I wonder, if I had a 4037A ROM and flashed that.... could I at least use that to get the phone up and running, even if, say cell / wifi dont work??
As long as the computer reads in without a battery you should at least be able to pull a scatter .txt file which will tell you the chip version even if everything else may be useless. Also you can try the mobile upgrade tool and select 4037 as your phone model. I cannot try it myself but it might work.

Also if you can i suspect it might be easier to get a similar phone and get a rom dump because the internet isn't too happy about sharing that particular phone's firmware
I had already tried fixing it with Alcatel's Mobile Upgrade tool. I'm afraid it won't recognize the phone without a battery. Nor will MTK Droid Tool (battery in or out), so I can't use that to pull in a scatter file. The PC only seems to recognize the device when the battery is in. (In Mobile Upgrade, with the battery in, I get: "Read terminal information failed...unplug and remove battery". No battery also didn't work in SP Tools, when I specified "without battery" in the options). In fact, even though the PC recognizes a device when the battery is in, it goes bonkers (keeps restarting every 2 seconds). I am still able to flash using SP Tools, however.
I thought about getting another OneTouch Pop D3 to pull the necessary files off of that. But that's not possible, they don't sell it any longer since a long time. Is there maybe another ROM I can download you think might work? The 4037A perhaps? I realize it's risky, but what else can I do?!
I used my 4037R phone to generate a scatter file because I kept getting a BROM ERROR: S_CHIP_TYRE_NOT_MATCH(3168) with the scatter files that I would find online. But even with this generated scatter file I would still get a BROM ERROR: S_CHIP_TYRE_NOT_MATCH(3168) error.
The only scatter file that would work is the MT6582.
But now I can't find a recovery image that will flash properly. I keep getting a S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL error with every image I try. Do you have a recovery image file that flashed with the 4037R ?
every now and then while experimenting new roms one either brick his phone or loses all their secure files like nvram and etc
either way you have lost your imei which is the sole reason that you can use your sim
well if you find yourself in this situation and have a phone with a mediatek processor then don't worry i got you
so all you need is your firmware,sp flash tools,SN writer and of course drivers
so what you need to do is install your drivers (cdc is a tough one you can find other posts in xda itself for installing it)
then just for heck of it because you cant be sure that you have the same firmware as the one you downloaded use sp flash tools
to flash the firmware (use firmware upgrade option or format+download option i prefer the latter)after you are done flashing
open SN writer and go to settings and choose your ap_db and md1_db now the trick to this is if you have two apdb and md1db then you have to find out which one is the correct by trail and error if not,you lucky dawg if nothing else works turn on auto gen option
in identify and keep on trying till your phone gives up and trust me it will give up
p.s i am new at this so like go easy on me
p.s p.s i will upload some pictures in the near future
It has taken me many days to find a tool to flash KDZ AND TOT since many people show an error at 4% of FlashTool and there is no solution so this is your Post.
LGUP is a tool used by Lg for phones that still have a guarantee such as a system error or a software error.
Compatible with Windows vista/7/8/10 No macOS No Linux
Thanks to DroidTH for giving me a link
ok let's start

If it does not start
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
If it does not start
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----
If it restarts constantly and does not enter the system (It restarts before reaching the optimizing application)
Turn off the phone completely and remove the battery
Wait 10 seconds. And put it back
Press Vol- and on when logo is released and press them again.
Give you everything
EYE: all files on the internal SD card will be erased
A factory reset will be made and then it must be turned on normally.
If it still does not start, remove the chip (SIMCARD)
Well that's all if you have any questions please write
Sorry if I needed something, it's just that I'm new and I do not know anything about xda
I hope you understand.
When I run LGUP it says Model is Unknown, then gives an error telling me I have to choose a known Model. Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, not sure what else there is missing. Please help.
my phone: (T-Mobile lg g3 d851 30e)

sorry you had problems
the error is one of the drivers lg
you should plug it into one of the main USB ports on your PC.
or rather entering device manager and re-assign drivers to ports.
Have you downloaded the lgup for lg g3 and g2?
Drivers are installed, USB debugging is enabled, LG PC Suite OK.not sure what else there is missing.
Download : lgup-g2-g3.zip
Solve it FIX
good after I found the problem LGUP
roms apparently change the model of the device as it changes cm11 to build Cyanogenmod 11 xx
AOSP - to AOSP rom 2 etc.
the solution would be to install a stock rom clean no matter if v10 v30 etc. The important thing is not having changed the model number and manufacturer.
I hope I have helped and sorry
that includes cloudy fa's roms

Hi !
How do I do all the above ?
My PC recognize the phone without problem, but LGUp won't start unless I "select a known model"... (LGUp window shows : Model = Unknown ; COM Ports = [COM5, CloudyG3] )
Problem is that my phone is softbricked after installing a new ROM, and I can only enter download mode (not even recovery). I just want to downgrade it and reflash a LG's stock ROM (or whatever ROM that would make my phone actually work !!! )
Can you help me do that ?

LGUP "UNKNOWN" and FlashTool failure with LG G3 (and possibly others)
When I downloaded and installed LGUP with the DLL installer stated to be for the LG G3, the program did not recognise the phone, reporting it as "UNKNOWN". The LG FlashTool also failed, reporting the IMEI and PID as NULL. After spending a lot of time on this, I twigged that the DLL file in the LGUP model directory was for the 8994 processor; but the G3 has an 8974, quite different and incompatible. I located the DLL installer MSI file for 9874 devices, uninstalled LGUP and the DLLs from Windows add/remove programs, ran the 9874 DLL installer and reinstalled the LGUP program, and everything worked.
The file is, amongst other places, on https://uptoandroid.com/download-lg-up-tool-for-lg-smartphone-latest/. Do not download DLL files for LG G4, LG V10, LG G3, LG Stylo, filename LGUP_Common_DLL_Ver_1_0_28_5 .msi, but instead For LG phones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 SoC, filename LGUP_8974_DLL_Ver_0_5.msi:.
