same problems

I have the same big problem, nobody seems to know about. I can´t not acces Recovery mode or factory mode, I have tried different recoveries and some rom ( there are not too much for usb flashing) but I think the recovery can be working but i just can not see it , because I got a BLANK SCREEN. Phone is b63m 2012, 2.3.5, kernel 2.6.35.7. What can I do? I like to be able to flash new roms, for example, because the phone is nice but has some mistakes as your perfectly know. I have also the same problem with the flash tool, I can use only download, in format>download is frozen in searching...so when i did the flash i coud do just downlad, and removing the 2 first options, Preloader and Adb or something.

Please help!

Thanls in advance, !

Refer to #48
[Android General] xdadeem:
we are in same situation, truth is some b63m has not come with recovery mode, and mine is like that but I was able to flash recovery once... just give me a while to figure out how I did that, but I am sure it was thru mobile uncle tools, unzip your recovery into your SD card root (meaning just drop it in yur SD card and not in any folder)... then using the uncletools, flash recovery and it will take automatically take you to sd card and display the one you put there. this shd work, I think that what I did and worked for me but after that I went ahead to flash rom and I guess I flashed the wrong one with the wrong boot.img and I have my blank screen on every kind of boot.
[Android General] curco66:
I have try several recovery now, trough uncle tools, flash tool, and i have not found the right one. I think we have something else wrong. As we can not flash a whole other rom with flash tools ( imposible to do format>download) we are keeping the wrong or incompatible files. So, should be important to fix that, or...someone knows how to flash a rom with adb shell?
[Android General] xdadeem:
I have tried adb in linux and window but as you know its not an easy task even tho it gives your full control, I even got unto fastboot but I just cld not follow thru.

But like I said I was able to flash recovery once and I was able to booth recovery, for the first time ever, doing this I went ahead to flash rom and this got me into my possibly incompatible file which gives me blank screen on all boot and no more recovery.

From what the guy have been suggesting, we have to get the 592zn rom (right now I am using pulid_F1 rom and its pretty much same thing as the stock rom only that its not able to give me the screen visuals back on boot.) so suggestions is to use flashtool to flash recovery only once that is successfully done then go boot recovery and flash rom (but IF your situation is exactly like mine, even if I am able to successfully flash recovery using flashtool, I still MAY not see my screen on boot bcos of the blank screen thingy), if yur situation is not exactly mine with boot issues, then you cant try the recover thingy from flashtool.

Another thing is to be sure you have the correct scatter text for flashtool to work, from discussion so far, I am hoping the 592zn rom will be all you need since its got both scatter and recovery (just try flash recovery only pls and see).

Additionally, there is the issue of drivers, that for me is the most likely issue i have, when I flash using flashtool doing Download mode, it always tell me SUCCESSFUl with the green CIRCLE thingy, but then nothing seem to have happened, so I am thinking its the B63M driver thingy, its not installed properly in Windows 7 (they have suggested Windows xp as a better solution to this trouble)

Basically, when 7 tells me it cant find the MT Android driver, I go to device manager and point it to where I have extracted the drivers and it is installed but because flashtool requires turning off your phone, I do that and the driver is no longer found it just keep saying SEARCHING so I say be sure you have the drivers installed properly, How to do that? I cant really say. Lets both be sure we have the drivers working first, then we can try to fix the flash issues, but mine takes a new dimension because even when I have recovery flashed using flashtool, I cant see anything if my screen is blank, so I may have to flash boot.img separately with flashtool, get visuals then go ahead to flash recovery with mobileuncle tools or flashtool, if this works then use recovery to flash preferred rom backing up fully first.

Hope this is in any way helpful
[Android General] curco66:
Hey, seems we are facing the same hell, :) No, i cant see anything, like you. Trying with adb, I realize when you got into shell (adb shell) and then as superusers, (su) you can call recovery or factory mode ( among other thousand things i guess), but when i am calling recovery, i got: no found, even if I have flashed one. When I call factory mode, the screen start to opening and then got really crazy, showing the phone start but in an crazy resolution. Is that happening to you also?. Anyway, with this you can check if you have recovery instaled or not. I though i had but the blank screen but at the end seems like i dont. Try, :P

We are using the same rom, is the only one i can flash...but just with Download, uncheking the 2 first option, (like you)

Do you have any idea where can I find this rom you suggest, would be perfect one for flashing with flastools, :)

Thanks, and good luck,

I dont think is a matter or drivers in my case, at the end I think got the right one. There is one driver for the phone in debugging mode and another one for the phone off. It is not easy but at the end i could install both i think. To be honest i dont know how, I´ve been doing to many things with this phone. :) i have also tryed what you say, flash the boot, and then the recovery several times with several everything, but nothing, i hope you are luckier. ;)

[Android General] xdadeem:
Which ROm did you ask me to show you?
[Android General] curco66:
592zn rom?
[Android General] xdadeem:
Here you go

Here goes... http://depositfiles.com/files/vjk7keolo

You may need to clear your Dalvik cache before trying anything else, its done mostly in recovery but you can do that in Mobiile uncle tool, Titatnium bakup app or simply get the link2sd.apk and use that. Also do it in command terminal with the following command lines...

# adb remount

# adb shell rm -rf /system/sd/dalvik-cache

Also check post #49 and #54, they might just be helpful.

But there you go, the link you wanted in what I gave you on top there.
[Android General] curco66:
ok, but this is not a rom, just a recovery, anyway, I´ll try to flash it and see...

Other thing, I am trying # adb remount

# adb shell rm -rf /system/sd/dalvik-cache but i got, Read only file system, even if i am su, and the phone is root. The same is I do wipe all, a lot of files says that, do you have an idea if i can fix that? THANKS THANKs

Edit: OK, solved, dalvik-cache done, everythibg done, but just not working, again, impossible to run recovery, i think we have to find a way to flash another rom in another way, flash tool, adb shell...?¿¿?
[Android General] xdadeem:
Yeah its not a rom I gave its recovery, sorry for not clarifying that but the idea is to possibly flash recovery first using mobile uncle tools and if that works then we can flash rom from recovery boot (Like I said this worked for me once and I was able to flash recovery thru mobileuncle and then went ahead to boot into recovery for the first time ever) however things got out of hand as I went ahead to flash rom from recovery (obviously with wrong boot.img as you initially mentioned as the trouble) then I got into this trouble of blank screen, and while trying several recovery flashes with flash tool I must have altogether removed the working recovery again (even if it was there still I couldnt see it anyway at that point).

So again try mobileuncle tools and see if you can flash the recovery zip from your sd card root, one of the option on mobileuncle tools should lead you to that, if you are successful like I am then cool, but if you still get a blank screen, it may just mean we need to flash boot.img first get that working then we can go ahead with recovery flashing in mobile uncle if they work well, then ROM flashing via recovery boot.

By the way did you check out post #49 and #54, were they any helpful?
[Android General] xdadeem:
Once I have some time, I will get down with the phone and see what I come out with again, for me, I just need to have a screen image once I have that then I will be good to keep testing... like I said, although my phone had no recovery rom but I was able to flash recovery thru mobile uncle once before, I only got into trouble when I decided to flash rom but it did not have the correct boot.img so got me a blank screen instead.
[Android General] Henkdrenth:
Don't know if it is of any help, but on the Technoforum a new universal ROM was launched for both 2011 and 2012 B63M models.

It's called ROM B63M Universale] BestLock 3D V.0.4 TS72

I just assume that this rom has a universal boot.img that also would fit your 2012 phone model.
[Android General] xdadeem:
Can yu give the link pls, however the main challenge here is how to actually do the ROM flashing ? it has to be recovery first if SP Flashtool is not doing the job (in my opinion because flashtool cant install or locate the android driver when phone is switched off)
[Android General] curco66:
Exactly, this rom is for installing using recovery ( as all of scorpions´s) and we cannot acces to recovery, so, how!!, :)

But thanks anyway!

accessories

I tried to search on the net but haven't found any accessories for our loved phone.

A hard or silicone case would be just as nice as some screenguards.

any ideas? :confused:

edit:

entering into engineering menu I discovered a strange option called "Speech logger". I enabled it and since then some .vm files are appearing in mnt/sdcard which can not be played with any kind of player.

can you confirm there is a working callrecorder in this phone?!? It would be really strange...
[Android General] Henkdrenth:
For 2012 model users

On the Technoforum I stumbled across a recovery file especially for B63M 2012 models.

That would allow you to get a working recovery with working screen I hope.

You need Flashtool to install it.

[Android General] xdadeem:
We got a really strange phone, but its all good.

I also wasnt able to get any accessory on the shops but we sure can order directly from the makers.

The speech logger/ call recorder thingy, if there is one on the phone would that be a good thing or what?
[Android General] petw:
Good question. :) Because of my job I drive car a lot and during travelling I often have to talk on the phone. In many cases it would be very useful to have some kind of audio log to remember what I've talked about with clients.

So it would be a good thing for me, don't know if it was for anyone else. :)

As for the accessories I would be happy just to find some fitting screenguards. The one I applied before got airbubbles under it... :D

Skype application does not work and always crashes. Anyone have this experience. any possible solution will be highly appreciated.

skype

if Skype is installed with videochat option turned on that's the cause for the crash.

first uninstall Skype then install again without using videochat.

Re - B63m recovery

Hi bro,

How are you.

Its been a long time and I finally decided to try this phone for the last time. I hope you can help me port

I have attached the details you ask for.

Thanks

NB) Firmwire.info is an invalid file so it did not attach... can I send you by email?

[Android General] xdadeem:
Re - B63M recovery port

Here attached.

Thanks.

Pls ask me anything more you may need.
[Android General] balamu96m:
Try this....

Okay, try this recovery.

Download new_recovery.img and just rename it to recovery.img

Place it in your sdcard and use mobileuncle tools application in your phone to flash it (I assume your phone is already rooted).

Try and reply! :good:
[Android General] xdadeem:
Thanks, I have flashed recovery as instructed, via mobileuncle attached, and the phone just went blank... I guess it boot into recovery but remember my initial trouble was that I cant see the screen when booting, so I dont know what happening behind the blank screen.

This is one video I made about my phone issue a long time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbi...dwb3y3edjs4004&google_view_type#gpluscomments
[Android General] balamu96m:
did u try pressing vol up / down in recovery mode (in black screen as well) ??

EDIT: My guess is that the one you uploaded might not be your original recovery.img. So, upload your boot.img too (from your current, working ROM's backup), let me try something different this time. I'll upload a new recovery.img after checking your boot.img.
[Android General] xdadeem:
I went into mobileuncle and flashed recovery from sd card, then it went blank and it did not show anything.

My guess is that it went into recovery but since I also have a blank screen issue, I could not see what was going on.

I must mentioin that pulid_F1 was not my original model, it was after I flashed pulid that it messed up the whole thing.

here is my boot.img and my uboot.img too attached

Thanks
[Android General] balamu96m:
Well, then my guess is right. I'll upload another recovery soon. Till that, if you remember the original model number of your device, just search for its stock ROM in the forums/in google. It might be very helpful in case if the one that I'll be uploading also fails to work.

:fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Now try this one, new_recovery_2.img. Same procedure. Let's see....
[Android General] xdadeem:
I think this one attached is the original one BUT without seeing the screen I cant know whats happening, maybe its the boot.img issue first
[Android General] balamu96m:
Well, still getting the same black screen?? then the problem lies in the boot.img, as suggested by few others in the previous posts, just try flashing only december 05 boot.img, by pressing Download option in flashtool. It can probably solve your problem. Just try that again and try the new_recovery.img that I had attached 2 posts before this.

Try n reply!

Well, can you upload recovery.img from this ROM that you already have: MP_MT73_W690_F1_PULID_V3_20111205-193323_ZJY_PC.rar

Did that recovery in the above mentioned ROM work??

You can try that too.
[Android General] xdadeem:
I should sort out the boot.img thing first then I can see what recovery works or not

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Did you say December 05 or December 2012? cos I think mine was from December 2012.

How do I discover the month for any ROM?
[Android General] balamu96m:
I might be wrong there......it should December 2012..........the release date is seen in settings>about phone...there in the details about kernel version.....

So, did u try the December 2012 ROM fully (or) just the boot.img?
[Android General] xdadeem:
Kernel Version is 2012 here.

The challenge I have right now is that I cant seem to get SP Flashtool working correctly... even the newest version or the older version, nothing really happens, I click on Download and without batter (even with battery), I expect the minutes to count and nothing happens.. maybe you could give me an explanation on how to use the sp flashtool... just in case I am doing something wrong.

Its frustrating
