Dude ..... I hate it to be this way......but......this is the second thread already tonight where you don't read the thread and certainly not the OP ! Please pay attention......he already stated very clear that he used different boot.img files and even a ruu !

This is such a pain..

Oh and btw, when i said "all messed up' i meant, that when i type *#06# - nothing appears.

I tried a last resort thing, using a hex editor and some crazy terminal emulator stuff, but there are so many rows and rows of numbers and strange letters that i do not understand and i gave up all hope.

So to get something in the clear ? You have NO imei at all or did it change ? You tell different story's :rolleyes:

And you can't use the phone ? No signal ..... or is it working fine ?

Hello all I would love to know how to correct the spelling of Monday on the Special ROM. My says "Montag". And I would love to learn how to take my phone off military time and into standard time.

Any suggestions?? :?:

Re: Anyone know how to correct the spelling of Monday on the

... maybe use a device that does not have a German ROM? Montag(ger) = Monday(eng) What does Tuesday say? Dienstag? :wink:

So, there have been a ton of complaints about the facebook app on windows phone 8. Am I missing something? Why would anyone put an app on thier WP8 phone, when the People Hub ties all that together? I don't even have a facebook app installed, because everything I need to do is done from the hub.I can post an update, check in, see my notifications, whats new specific to my stuff or my friends that I have grouped exclusive.

So what am I missing?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Nothing. Some people are not used to having working things out of the box, so they just download apps to replace what the system already does.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miodrage:
My point exactly. I would even go much more further, I would ban all FB, Twitter... apps from the market since they r not needed at all. Instead, I would want some RDP apps for free, also some good database apps etc...

There is quite some functionality in the Apps though that is not available in the Hub. It's conversation views in Twitter or Groups in Facebook. If you use those Features you can't rely on the People Hub alone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrya:
Groups in facebook? Isn't that the same as Groups in the stock app? I don't do twitter, so cant answer to that. But still have found more functionality as well as easier interface when using the stock app on the phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
I think OP has to look at things way wider. Maybe you just treat your phone more personal...

1)Facebook app can allow me lend my friend/families the phone and he can have a quick look at his facebook. (more social)

2)Facebook allow me to take control of another account I own( not saying about pages though, not sure WP8 facebook app can allow users to manage the page we owned)

3)respond to friend request.

4)As for myself, I have subscribe to many funny pages and news ones, the endless timeline give me look at what I have missed unlike the facebook/twitter integration,it does limits certain number of news/tweets and we can't scroll down after that.

I think these are the things you missing, might be more when compare to facebook apps on other platform since facebook app on wp has lesser feature.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrya:
Yea, my friends are goofballs. If I let them have access to my phone, I get crazy posts on FB, and my profile picture suddenly changes to a crotch picture. So, no one gets to screw with my phone except the better half (and now Jr thanks to Kids Corner). But then again, I do the same to them!

And I don't have more than 1 facebook account, but I see where you can add accounts, so maybe someone who has two accounts can try to add an account under thier different one? Might allow it, although, I think it would merge the two, which could become confusing.

And I have not noticed friend requests, so will have to see if I get one recently and see how that works.

I see where your coming from, guess since I am not a power user I don't utilize all the capabilities that FB has, nor the native / 3rd party app.

Thanks for clarifying, FINALLY some one did! Thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Groups are not the same as WP Groups (well, something similar exists with the lists Feature but that's an entirely different Topic).

Facebook Groups can have members and have there own pin wall, calendar, etc. You can use them e.g. to bundle all the Information on a certain Topic like e.g. when you are part of a certain Club. To my knowledge I can't Access those from the People Hub.

I'm only using two of them but those pretty frequentlly. There are other Features not used by everyone but rather important to others that are not available in the People Hub.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrya:

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcrassic:
It's missing a lot of the interaction you'd get from the website or a third-party app, for instance:

The messaging app does not pick up Facebook message threads, for one (Just chats).

You can't edit your own status updates.

You can't friend/unfriend people.

The Facebook People Hub is meant more for getting the basic info on people that you have on your contacts list and to keep them in the loop on you. That's it. I think these limitations are by design.

Since here every day again and again problems with the USB VCOM driver installation for MTK6577 appear Phones, here is a short guide to the installation, and a final, successful test with SPFlashtool!

Installation of the USB VCOM driver:

[1] With USBDeview, clean up your PC from all possible old MTK VCOM entries, then reboot your PC.

[2] Smartphone is switched off, and still dont connect via USB to the PC.

[3] Open Device Manager and leave it open!

[4] Your switched off Smartphone with inserted rechargeable battery via USB connect now on the PC, you should now see a MT65xx preloader in the Device Manager.

(With some MTK6577 Smartphones should be installed without battery. Please before hand inform.)

[5] now launch the Installdriver.exe from the unzipped MT6577 USB VCOM drivers folder. Confirm the installation of unsigned drivers

[6] now! (W7 x 64 this confirmation comes later in the manual installation!) After the installation is complete, you have no entry in the Device Manager, it is correctly!

[7] PC reboot!

[8] Open Device Manager and open the switched-off Smartphone via USB to the PC release, now connect (same USB port!)

[9] Now a MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM should appear for a brief moment in the Device Manager entry!

[10] At the moment the entry double click and click on "Update driver" under the tab "Driver".

[11] With the wizard in the unzipped MTK 6577 USB VCOM drivers navigate and select the folder for your operating system.

Check this file and see images for install driver in W7. Remember, install this as administrator. Installation also depends on the version of w7, it is x32 or x64.

Install drivers - Win7.rar
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kamal882:
Don't worry about that "unknown device"

You can connect your phone and continue to Flash.

If driver is not there for your phone then SP Flash Tool will keep on searching for your phone.

If driver is installed then SP Flash Tool will continue and start Flashing your phone.

Worked on Windows 8... Please follow the correct procedure. Just i flashed TWRP and replaced CMW (for testing only) and work fine.

If needed, i can post again the full procedure to flash CMW / TWRP / LEWA recovery.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] StanleyD:
Please do..:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] apoorv.mehrotra:
Hello All,

I tried both on window 7 & 8; 64 bit and procedure as mentioned by the OP is perfect; however i am posting it again here

1) Download the flash tools from anywhere preferably most updated one: SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01

2) Download the recovery which ever you like TWRP / CMW (I tried both of them now and they are working for me on MMX A110)

3) In your desktop / laptop please ensure you allow installation of unsigned drivers (youtube will help for this)

4) Download and install MTK6577 Drivers for your device (this will only work after you clear step 3)

5) If still not working, download USBDEVIEW (usb driver remover) and run it as "Administrator" uninstall all the USB drivers relevant to your device and repeat above steps

6) Now connect your phone, with portable media option selected in USB or the default mode. Let it install and finish

7) Once done switch-off your phone while it is connected through USB (Again this will install a driver which will look like MTK65xx something...

8) Remove the battery of phone let your PC install the driver again (battery not plugged in, only phone connected with USB). You will see for a shot time that charging icon will appear on phone and disappear; this will install something in the background again on your PC

10) To confirm this, put your battrey again back in your phone with USB (still) connected to PC

11) go to system manager of your PC and look for MTK 6577 something ... something... driver

12) Now disconnect your phone and switch it on

13) Start the flash tool

14) Select the recovery option only in tool (TWRP / CMW / LEWA Whichever you like)

15) Click download

16) Connect your phone (which i assume is switched on), once you connect switch it off (no need to remove battery or anything)

18) Look at the status bar of your flash tool (nothing to worry, no need to do anything)

19) RED Bar -> Yellow Bar -> Green Ring

20) Disconnect

21) Reboot in recovery (TWRP / CMW / LEWA) is flashed...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dulcificum:
I've followed ALL the instructions word for word now and still can't get it to install the MT6577 drivers correctly. I've tried the OP's method as well as apoorv.mehrotra's method. Have rebooted my PC now 28 times! Still can't get it to work. I have exactly the same problem as everyone else - the phone appears in device manager for 3 seconds then disconnects suddenly. Even the legacy installation method does not work. I've tried on a Windows 7 64-bit machine as well as a Windows XP 32-bit machine - exactly the same outcome each time.

Help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] muhammadrustam:

For 3 days I've been trying to get my phone to connect but no luck! I've download several of the usb drivers and followed several tutorials but i still can't get this to work!!! The reason I want to do this is because the modem isn't working. It reads the sim cards but I get no single! I think because it was updated ( I didn't do it) and no signal on any sim card! Help on both fronts!! Thanks

Note for the step 4

Note for the step [4]:

If you can NOT find MT65xx Preloader under Other Devices in the Device Manager go to:

View -> Check Show hidden devices

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

I followed this tutorial and I had the same issue, so I first installed the Windows 7 driver and after that I updated driver to the Windows 8.

I'm using Win8 (x64)

Good luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] p_shep:
I'm also having major troubles.

Tried all the various instructions on win 8 x64 and win 7 x64 and the same thing keeps happening... the VCOM port will show for a couple of seconds, then disappear. When using the flash tool, it'll start, then just stop when the device disappears.

I suspect it's the phone (B92M) doing this, don't know if I need to put it in some kind of mode (recovery doesn't help)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BHARDIK:
ok right click on MT65xx Preloader while its detect in device manager in win8 then choose update driver software and give forcefully update , i mean choose file from folder and give MTK USB Port driver files from driver 64 bit folder of win 8 and its detected after this process end .:)

Tested by me

BUT, I think I finally got it connected, had to use windows 8 and the vcom drivers and installer in one and it worked. Now when I run the splash tool it now stops and says there isn't enough memory!! I checked my phone and I only have 83.17mb!! I did the factory restore and erased everything I could and this is all I can get!! HELP!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n4w4k:
The fact that the "preloader COM port" appears and then disappears 3 sec later IS THE CORRECT BEHAVIOR!! I also had a hard time with this driver because I thought it meant there was a problem. That's why when you flash with Flash_tool.exe, you FIRST click on "download" THEN connect the (off) phone. Flash_tool will connect to it in the brief moment it is seen by the device manager and KEEP IT CONNECTED while it flashes!

IMHO, this information should be included in red in the 1st post because it seems to throw off a lot of people!

Issues with Karbonn K1616(non Android) flash

Hi,

using the instructions mentioned in the post I was able to install MTK drivers in Windows 8. But as some people have complained , the COM port is detected for hardly 2 seconds. I'm trying to flash a non Android Device karbonn K1616. I read most of the places that a flash box is required.

I was trying out few things to get something working with just a micro USB cable. FYI , I have flashed MMX A110 and Karbonn A9+ android devices earlier so ADB are getting detected properly.

I wanted to ask if the flash box is necessary even when I'm able to just detect the COM port in Device Manager, but I haven't been able to download or get the device detected in any of the flash tools so far. I believe the device supports MTK62xx series.

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks All.

Hello, First, the windows8 drivers work fine, you just need to turn off the driver signing check, or windows wont load. i just did it and worked fine. To turn off the driver signing, you need to press shift + "restart" on your windows and select the following:

Troubleshoot

Advanced

Startup Settings

After restart, select option 7

After that, try to install the driver on the Unknown device or the yellow marked PreLoader.

I hope it helps.
