Hiya all just thought I’d give you a quick update.

My initial crossgrade to the Vibo OS failed as my firmware was not compatible and in the process my IMIE was lost and it was permanantly stuck in flight mode!

Fortuantely with some fantastic help from SnowWolf in Taiwan I was able to successfully restore my phone using PSAS and QPST programs.

If youwant some great instructions on how to unbrick your phone check out:

I’m sure the same would work Wellcom as well.

Now just waiting for 2.1 or 2.2!

Cheers,

Tom

Does anyone know if “dbmsk” on the phone is the baseband/radio image?

Yes I think it is due to a wrong baseband. I can’t seem to find the right baseband for it. any idea where to find. I don’t understand why using RUT to flash does not fix it though. 🙁

I’ll have to keep trying!

Update!!

I successfully got a688 system.img installed and have the new a688 software running. However unfortunately it is always still stuck in flight mode 🙁

I realised I maybe made a mistake as I also tried to flash “ftm” with ftm.img from snow wolf a688. Perhaps this is the cause of my problems? Any one have any ideas?

Here are my system specs:

Model: F11
Firmware: 1.6
BaseBand version: pr3_850
Kernel Version: apps_2.6.29

For some strange reason with the a60 now it never comes out of flight mode! Very strange. I’ve tried resetting to 380 and 280 firmware and same thing. I hope it’s just a software not hardware problem. Does anyone know where I can get a cache.img?

Hmm, I got my system t flash Snowwolf a60 rom OK but now when I run the fastboot.exe command it just hands during the “sending system” and never finishes sending.

Before it sent pretty quickly faily quickly and gave a confirmation. How long did it take yours to send/write?

If I unplug during the write it says “status read failed (to many links)”

Think I am having no luck today

Hmm very strange. I wonder if I did the flash wrong?

My phone detailsa re as follows:
Build no: 7003_1_280
Kernel: apps2.6.29
BaseBand: PR3_850
Firmware: 1.60

I have applied Hiπ1.6.1（7003_1_280）from
from http://service.apanda.com.cn/support/download.html
So maybe that is the problem. I will try and firware upgrade with original and then run again.

What does: Then flash boot_App2SD_VFAT.img to my A88 -> App2SD do?

I had to restore it to the Apanda firmware. Luckily that has worked fine (had to set it to emergency download mode for that to work)

Inozent: I tried following those instructions but it didn’t seem to work. just got stuck in boot screen after I used fastboot flash command. any idea what i could have done wrong?

Hmmm having some trouble restoring to it’s original state! Fingers crossed.

Hmmm, not so great just now. I applied the system.img however now just sits in the boot screen.

The computer recognises it though. So not sure what the problem is.

Thanks innozent!

I’ll give that a try and see how I go. Has it worked well for you?

I’ll post my progress

Hi there,

I bought from Hongkong – for $340USD – they do not sell them in Australia. I tried to get an A88 on ebay but they ran out of stock. Is a pretty nice phone, although I’ve never had a touchscreen before.

I bought it from: http://www.winsunx.com/winsunx0/index.php?mod=product&product_id=406

Much cheaper than most android phones in Aus, but not sure how it compares to Thailand

Ok great. Thanks for all your help. As far as I know it should be fine to install wellcom a88 on apanda a60?

Has any one tried other Android O/S on wellcom a88, like 2.1 or HTC interface?

If anyone can send me a88 rom I’d love it. Thanks Tom.
