elephone p8000 can't access network or google play neither via wi-fi nor cellular dat - Elephone P8000

Hi there,
Excuse the novice. Just got this 2 days ago and I am still trying to figure it out why I can't access the net at all.
I have not got Android experience much and I am digging now how to come out of this situation.
So no option to access Net at all. The Error in response is " Couldn't sign in. There was communicating problem with Google servers . Try again later." So this is like a loop there.
Android Version -5.1
Baseband Varsion - MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V16.P10
Kernel Version - 3.10.65
Build Number -ALPS.L1.MP3.V2_NB6753.65U.L1_P22
Custom Build Version - Elephone_P8000_20151014
I must admit the Phone came preset and once I have switch it on it picked up GMT time without I have set anything.
I will appreciate any help or pointing to a resources to try to solve as now it is unusable as I can't download anything.
Thanks in advance.

Check:
Settings --> Data Usage --> (cellular provider tab) --> toggle 'enable mobile data'
See if that's the issue. Good luck.

Now Stacked to The Elephone Logo on and unresponsive.

Thanks kevvyboy,
I can't do anything right now. The phone by itself (really) got in a mode I can't read even with letters so small, went to the Android Man with red Mark and now is in front of me unresponsive with the logo of Elephone totaly unresponsive.
Just to underline - I have not touch anything- I have left it on stand by last time I have played with it.
Any clues and help please will be much appreciated.
PS. NOW I have managed to (I guess Switched it off) and again on and there was window with APP UPDATE - came to 116 out of 116 updated and now again can't access the net neither Google Play.
Could this be a OTA Update completed somehow?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Hi again,
I have enabled the cellular data - no luck again.
When I am trying google play again message Google servers can't be reached and the more interesting - using the - preload browser it try to search trough yahoo search. This phone was sold to me as new, but I am starting to wonder what it has been through before it reached me?
Will a flash using PhilZ Recovery will help?
Could someone point me the way out of this please?
Thanks!

New bizarre Message.
Hi again,
Just to make it more interesting out of the blue it Popped up a Message box with following wording.
"In a Previous Android Version You have disabled all Google App services. Do you want to enable them. Yes/NO,
Of course I have chosen Yes and Again Can't reach net neither via Cellular data nor Wi-Fi.
Any useful contribution will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Stuck on Airplane Mode? Try toggling it on and off. I remember my HTC OneX having an Airplane Mode issue - had to toggle on / off several times and reboot.
ETA - faulty APN settings for your provider? May explain a mobile data issue, but doesn't address the wifi issue.
Dammit.

Thanks Kevvyboy for your contribution.
Somehow I have managed to get the Cellular data connected and now have updated the Google Service.
WI-FI still an issue. Is there any sense - updating a driver (if I am not asking stupid question here)?
Thanks!

Glad to hear at least cellular working! The wifi issue is a bit of a mystery to me though - I'm all out of smart ideas, sorry
Hopefully some other bright soul can chip in.

download drivers for SP flash tools and SP flash tools program.
go and download mediatek drivers and sp flash tool.
you can get these from elephones website, google or where ever. i got mind from needarom. i used the latest versions for both.
i downloaded the 5th November 2015 firmware from elephones rom. it came pre 7-zipped. i unzipped it and left it's structure.
installing the drivers part:
you need to disable signature enforcement in your OS to install the drivers.
open SP flash tools.
load the scatter file in the official rom folder you unzipped with 7 zip.
at this point press the download button in SP tools.
switch off your phone. connect the usb cable to the phone and the computer.
you should now have the latest firmware on you phone when complete.
please note it wipes everything, so back up anything important to you.
once done, set up your apn in settings, mobile networks, access points.
wifi should work after a clean factory reset if you don't have a dodgy device.
elephone only supports 2.4ghz for wifi as far as a i know.
also make sure your network bands and are supported by the p8000.

Hi El_Nino9,
Thank you for the reply and sorry I am delaying my response. I have actually done some of the suggested previously once I read more on the site - thanks for the contributors here. I had Eragon 9.5.0 Custom ROM set with Philiz recovery tool after Mediatek driver download but the wi-fi is still an issue.
I will try to perform the the one suggested from you, I just have located the latest Elephone p8000 ROM on the Elephone site and will perform this on a first chance I have. - most probably on Friday.
Thanks once again and I will post an update from the outcome.

OK!
I have done the upgrade to the 05.11.15 Stock ROM.
Have made a Factory Reset and the Wi-Fi is working as before but I can't reach internet basically.
Again after attempts to get to Play Store or to or to perform a simple Google Search it comes again after message "Just a second" and after 20- 30 seconds it end up with the message.
"Google Server can't be reached at the moment please try again later."
Any help on this will be much appreciated!
Thanks a lot in advance!
P.S>
I have just discovered that the icon of the WI - FI showing a processes going on but I can't reach My Router URL for example through the Local network.
Does it mean this is really dodgy unit or I am missing any settings or there is any cure for this?
Thanks again!

so your mobile data still works on the latest firmware? specially after typing the correct apn settings?
regarding your wifi, where is the router in relation to your position? far away? standing right next to it with the phone? whats your encryption for your wifi? tried changing that to a different type and seeing if it connects?
if you have big concrete walls and live in a nice solid building that may too cause signal not to reach. the wifi isn't that great on the device speaking from experiance in comparison to other devices.
if all fails... possibly dodgy device

Hi EL_Nino9,
I guess either the p8000 not like my D-LinkDIR-655 router or I am missing something in general.
I have an extension for the other rooms and the phone connecting to a simple TP-Link with no hassle at all, but D-Link is like a brick wall - you see the wi-fy working but no internet access.
It is still a mystery.
At least is proven the wi-fi module is working.
Believe me - I have tried to alter the setting on the route and still can't get to the net content.
Will keep exploring this and will report if any luck.
Thnaks!

I´m facing the same issue here. Google-Services like Google-Photo, Gdrive, Inbox are not working. Any solutions so far?

Looks Like I have rooter WI-FI issues

Hi kraftmaschine - I have discovered that my aged D-LInk DIR-655 was giving me problems dropping out the signal. I had an access through mobile network and through my other room extension rooter, so I got on mind either compatibility issue or router problem. So I have upgraded the router and voila. Everything got sorted.
Also upgrade to the latest mod - not OWA but using the standard methods described here.
Hope that helps.

Router crashing with new Jelly Time rom

Hey guys,
I tried searching and could not find a similar problem.
Since getting the new rom I have noticed that my wireless router has been experiencing connection issues. all my devices show connectivity but i dont have access to the net. Anyways i decided to have a look and the android is creating multiple Ip entries on the router with the same mac address and everytime I turn the wifi off on my phone the problem does not occur.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Why don't you try binding the MAC Address to a static IP so it's no longer able to create multiple entries on the DHCP Table?
tjturko13 - have you tested to use another standard 802.11 Modus - instead "n"? Just switch it at your phone or router.
What router do you have? Can you update the firmware? ^^

i dont think my router allows this, the only option I have is to specify if I want to allow mac filtering.

Did you get your new rom over the air? (Stock rom)
Or did you flash a custom rom?
You have to give us more software informations about your rom. Is your device s-on or s-off?
Stock rom you need the right RUU exe file. Just doubleclick - yes yes yes
Custom rom you need to download the custom boot.img.

I'm sorry for you.
- You could even try to change the wifi-channel to 1, 4 or 6 and disable wifi-security in the second attempt for test only.
- Try also to set a static ip in your phone (for your wlan).
- If you are bored you can reset the whole router to its factory defaults and leave all standard. Just enable wlan (and the isp connection) - but dont change the default ssid, wlan-security or channel etc.
Otherwise I have no more ideas.
With google you can find dozens of users crashing their routers with android or ios phones . Good luck dude!

Ive had this problem to since switching to 'randomblame's kernel based ROMS (jellytime CM, jellytime aokp and jellytime by PACMAN - Paranoid, CM and AOKP).
Apparently it is a kernel issue and the only thing you can do is some of the things above or here
I was here hoping there might be a fix... I tried static IP, changing the router channel, WIFI never sleep etc etc etc.
The only workaround I found so far was to turn off wifi when Im done, it only seems to break when the phone is inactive for 5 minutes +.

Exact same problem here. It took some time before I figured out that my phone was overwriting my gateway's MAC address, but I finally saw that message from another machine in my network:
Code:
arp info overwritten for 192.168.1.254 by 91:31:58:5d:e8:34
1.254 being my gateway's IP. I also tried giving my phone a static DHCP entry but it just didn't change anything. Any useful sysctl maybe ?
FWIW, it seems I "fixed" that issue by making my routers MAC address association permanent on my (manageable) switch. That obviously don't fix the real problem, but does not shut down the router's NIC. FYI, on a GNU/Linux machine, this is done with the arp command, i.e.:
Code:
# arp -s 192.168.1.254 00:ca:fe:ba:be:00
192.168.1.254 being your router's IP

Cannot Connect to Mobile Data

Good day Gentlemen and Ladies,
So, as you the title states I cannot connect to mobile data (3g). (Before posting this I had done my research trying to find a solution and I cannot find any solutions) Let me tell you a little bit about my Galaxy Nexus SO originally when it was purchased it was a yakjuxw and I flashed to stock yakju-4.0.4 by this methodI can not link the video atm as I am a noob here) (I am sure that I did not skip any steps). I updated to android 4.2.1 all OTA updates and since that day I cannot connect to mobile data. I am pretty sure this is a software issue unless its a coincidence that my device fails on me at this point in time. Everything worked fine before i flashed it. I have tried going into *#*#4636#*#* and making sure my network type is correct as well as the radio band as automatic. I tried rebooting the device, I turned on mobile data and waited for +2hours for it to connect and nothing. I am sure I did not reach my mobile data limit as it is the beginning of my billing cycle. So, if anyone has any solutions would you be kind enough to give me a link or instructions on how to fix this problem. I recently also got double my data free of charge (from my provider) and I can't even use it Lol... Thanks!
1. Settings -> About Phone -> See your baseband? Does it exist or does it say Unknown?
2. Attempted to reset APN?
3. Tried your SIM card in another phone? Does data work on that phone?

Man you are a genius thank you. It was an APN problem. I think when I flashed it the server # and port # went missing or something so I added those and 30 seconds later it is all working! Thanks again my friend. And for anyone who has this in the future you can access you APN settings->more...->mobile networks->Access Point Names (and APN vary on provider)

which is the right gapps file?
Hello,
I was preparing to flash this rom and downloaded from the link you gave this version
cm-10.2-20140728-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip
but now I'm in trouble because, going at the goo.im link,
I don't understand which is the Gapps file that matches best with the above rom
Can you tell me wich one is more suitable
Thanks in advance
Use JB Gapps - these are the lastest on goo.im
https://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Maybe there are newer ones arround in the net - But please search for yourself if you need it newer...

tethering not working and no wake up from lockscreen
Hi,
I'm very happy with this ROM but I have a serious (for me) issue with tethering.
Usb tethering procedure simply remains stucked to "obtaining IP address" and then quits.
WiFi tethering shows that the signal is strong but after some time trying to connect it quits
with notification of " deactivated net. Low quality connection"
(sorry if my translation is wrong, but I think you can understand)
I don't think it could be a provider problem because my italian provider (H3G) allows tethering
without limitation, and moreover I had never a problem of tethering with stock rom.
Any clue..?
the other annoying issue is with wake up from lockscreen.
Many times (mostly after a notification) the phone remains with black screen, completely unresponsive to all buttons.
Sometimes it wakes up retrying in few seconds, sometimes I have to reboot.
Suggestions?
By the way I would like to try changing the level of "deep sleep" from default 3 to 4 but I can't remember how to enter to that page in the menu, can you help me?
Thanks in advance, beside these bugs this ROM is wonderful, my phone flies...

My friend installed cm-10.2-20140728 and quicky returned to 20140228 (hes using I8160). I think that our version cm-10.2-20140228-UNOFFICIAL-codinap.zip is fast, stable and bugfree.
Not planing to install CM11.
Anyone noticed that tethering doesn't work correctly?
I mean turn on tethering + mobile data, it's okay until you connect to this wi-fi via PC, then the tethering automatically is being disabled and even trying to turn it back doesn't work, phone reboot required to be able to switch it on but the same situation happens.
I didn't touch anything in this ROM. 2.3.6 GingerBread -> 4.1.2 beta -> 4.1.2 XEO -> 4.3.1 this ROM and after every installation wipe data and cache
Tethering now working

I just want to share my experience. Hopefully it will help someone out there, and give feedback to the developers.
I had flashed the latest build (cm-10.2-20140728-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip) from stock Jelly Bean (XXMF2). I like the ROM very much except I had problem tethering (both WIFI and USB), which is a very important function for me. My problem seems similar to vanometro.
When USB tethered, my laptop connects but it take a long time to acquire network address, finally results in "low or limited connectivity", with no access to the internet. When WIFI tethering, my laptop finds hotspot and successfully authenticates password, but there is no internet access. Same situation when I try to tether to another laptop / desktop / android phone.
On further investigation, I realized that my laptop is not getting the correct network addresses. On manually keying in the correct addresses (took me quite a while to learn how to do this), I finally can access the internet both via USB and WIFI. However, I find it too troublesome to manually key in the network configurations each time I want to tether.
In my limited understanding, I believe the DHCP server in my Ace 2 is not working properly. But I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Tried clearing cache partition / Dalvic cache / factory reset. Even tried reinstalling the ROM. But no success.
Finally tried installing the previous build (cm-10.2-20140227-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip), and everything works! Now I can tether by USB and WIFI, no need to manually key in network configurations.
Hopefully this helps someone, and someone more knowledgeable can look into the problem.

LG G3 4G Network Drops

So the problem I'm having with my G3 is that the Network either drops and comes back repeatedly or completely drops and does not return. This only happens on 4G. When I go into network settings and change network mode to 3G it works fine and I get a constant signal all the time.
I have been using Fulmics ROM and I thought maybe that was the issue. But it wasn't.
I tried 3 different sims from three different carriers (Three, EE, O2) on several stock firmwares. (20N, 21C, 30A, 30F).
Each scenario is the same; network drops when phone is on 4G network mode, but its fine on 3G mode.
However, I have noticed that if I leave Wifi OFF allowing 4G data to connect first, then its fine. I can even turn Wifi ON again and the network is stable. I can even turn Wifi and Data OFF and the network is still stable.
But, if I toggle aeroplane mode, where Wifi connects first or where Wifi and Data is turned OFF; I am back to the network dropping.
Also, I live in London UK so there should not be any signal issues. Can anyone tell me why this is happening. I doubt it's software issue as I've tried several firmwares.
Any help is appreciated.
Mate I'm afraid there is a high possibility it's the Fulmics ROM.. I'm still trying to read up on the issue myslef, there's a ton of reports in the Fulmics thread and around.

I'm using an UK bought LG G3 as well (from Three) and started experiencing similiar issues after I flashed Fulmics. Even tried rolling back to 4.4.2 using a .tot file but didn't really help me.
Still scouring all around trying to find how to fix the issue..

Hmmm looking back now this issue did start when I first installed fulmics 3.5. But shouldn't everything revert back to stock when you reinstall stock firmware.

That's what I thought but I guess it's a little bit more tricky.
Anyways I think I managed to restore some kind of stability in the signal, still unsure about the process though. Seems that different stuff are working for different people. In a few days I hope to have some information to give you how to fix it.
In the meantime try checking the Fulmics thread for ideas and suggestions (that's where I start off from).

Yeah let me know when you find a fix. Really appreciate the help.
One thing that is sort of a temporary fix for me, works on Three, EE and O2 (only ones i tried), is connecting Data first when on 4G mode.
So if I toggle airplane mode and if Wifi connects first then the network drops or keeps refreshing.
But, if I leave Wifi OFF and Data establishes a connection; the network is stable and I can then turn Wifi On again and the network will remain stable.
I just have to make sure the network does not lose connection (i.e. tunnel or airplane mode), and if it does ensure Data connects first.
Also, another thing. After I reinstalled Fulmic 5.3 it seems 4G mode is sort of stable. As in when on 4G mode instead of dropping the network it connects via 3G automatically. But this only happens with Three.

Okay here is what worked for me - open this guide and download the Three specifiic Lollipop and Marshmallow .kdz files.
Flash the stock Marshmallow firmware first using the LG Flash Tool method. Your phone probably won't automatically get recognized since you're running Fulmics now so you'll need to change the COM port as described in post #
After that downgrade to stock Lollipop using the LGUP method. Personally I downloaded more updated (I think, not sure) files from here.
Then I proceeded to re-root and clean install Fulmics 5.1 and the 5.2 and 5.3 OTA updates from recovery. Booted and network works without drops now with 4G connectivity.

I changed my carrier and got an automatic SMS with configuration for my phone and instructions to save it. I should've known something was fishy when I recieved the "congratulations for setting up" message even before I recieved the actual settings. Anyways 4G was running fine on my new carrier with 32 mbps speed which is okay, much better compared to the same carrier 3G network, however I only had 3 bars of connection so I gussed what the heck, I should save that configuration after all, it might make things better. What a bloody mistake. I lost 4G connectivity and my phone refused to connect to the 4G network, only 3G (just as you describe).
What worked for me in this scenario was wiping the cache and dalvik (not really sure this step is even necessary to be honest, but I was headed for a full rom re-wipe anyway and decided to try with this first), going into the hidden menu and choosing LTE only connectivity (Fulmics Tweaks -> Hidden Menu [or the hidden code for the phone app if you decided to stay on stock, which I dont have] -> Modem Protocol -> RAT Selection -> LTE only. At this step my phone got to the usual 3 to 4 bars of connectiviy but was displaying "Emergency mode only" and no data at all. I proceeded to Settings -> Networks -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names -> Reset to default from the menu. If network mode doesn't change back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto automatically, change it back manually. At this point I had restored back my 4G connection and everything is working normally (30-32 mbps connection stationary in my house through a wifi hotspot next to my laptop).
Good luck, I would follow the steps as described just in case. I tried many reflashes before that should've worked but didn't for me. However different things work for different people, hope this works for you and please report back

I'd like to thank you so much for this information! I was having signal drop issue after installing Fulmics ROM. Tried to flash stock ROM but no success. After doing the downgrade via LGUP method to LP my phone is getting full signal again (at least I didn't notice any drop until now).
Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply.
I followed your instructions and unfortunately it didn't work. :crying:
I first tried with the D85520f you provided and then with an updated D85521C firmware. But nothing worked.
The temporary fix, which I found works, is to ensure 4G mobile data establishes a connection first before Wifi (turn Wifi OFF then ON after data established). Then there is no signal drop until I go through a tunnel or phone restarts (signal drops completely), which means again i have to ensure 4G mobile data establishes a connection before Wifi or else it'll go back to the constant signal dropping.
Guess I'll just stick with 3G at all times. I've spent too much time trying to correct this than actually finding enjoyment in using the phone.
Anyway really appreciate the time and effort you took to help with this annoying situation. :good::good::good:

I flashed dummies and get dropped 4g data like this.
I have tot back to stock and didn't help... not Kdz
Haven't downgraded yet to LP yet.
On turborom now.
Can I just flash this modem? Have a link to the 21c modem?
Flash in twrp or send via LG flash?

Question Help me Mr. Wizard....

Well, the wifi on my S21 FE 5G has totally stopped working..... no clue why. When I try to turn it on, the switch icon stays a dim blue for a few minutes and then goes off again. Just will not connect. I tried a network reset, and even a full factory reset. No luck at all.
What's up????
The phone was updated to the new UI 5.1 and all the other pushed updates....
get stock rom or linageOS then flash it. BE CAREFULL NOT TO MESS IT UP DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING! also have you pocked with the wlan configs? if its after update, the downgrade might not be possible. if it is an option for u reflash the phone with linage. if any help need on that reply here i will help.
check the build and kerenel first in fastboot mod. to pick out the correct rom.
KirinPixel. thank you for the reply.
my phone is a 'Galaxy S21 FE 5G' unlocked, on T-Mobile.
SM-G990U1/DS Model Code: SM-G990UZAETMB
Baseband version: G990U1UES5EWC2
when I look at Settings/About Phone/Status Information, I see the following:
phone wi-fi MAC address is 'unavailable'
same with Bluetooth Address
same with Ethernet MAC Address
I would prefer to stay with a stock ROM. I think I can get it from SamMobile website.
Not sure what you mean by 'pocked with the wlan configs.' Explain please.
Also, what is 'fastboot mod.' ???
thanks.
By poked with wlan config i meant trying turn monitor mode on or chainging power or sensitiveity. In Fastboot mode phone is avalibele to download software into it and provides a lil more info on device. Try just flashing stock or linageOS. If that dooes not fix it its likely a hardware problem.
Thank you again.
I will probably try flashing the previous rom update.
I went to my local T-mobile and there was another customer there with the same problem.....
Also searching internet for same problem. Found a few.
