Screen Flickering

After I have updated it, the phone screen keeps flickering continuously. So I have now downgraded it to 4.1.2. Anybody else facing the same problem?? If anybody has got the solution for it, could you please share it with me.. Thanks
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
I'm pretty sure your phone doesn't have IMEI now, so with out IMEI you cannot run USSD code. check once.
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
IMEI is there I went through factory mode and found imei all good. only tp fails.
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
got b\oth my IMEI back.. now trying USSD code.. wish me luck :)
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
4.1.2 .20 did not worked what about 4.2.1 / 4.1.2 .16 version - factory mode tpupgrade?

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

This code is only for Samsung not mmx
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
willl try 4.2.1 TP upgrade.. it says firmware bin is missing, two possibilities, access not set properly or bin file doesnt exist.( later not possible as mobile is completely working except for touch ).. any developer would be able to crack this in seconds.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

TP upgrade failed on 4.2.1 as well... no point in trying anymore.. fed up :/
[Micromax A116] igagan_:
Someone plz do this

- put the firmware file in your sd card and insert it in your phone and then try to do the TPUpgrade thing.

P.S. I can't do this because I don't have the keyboard with me right now.
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
I do not have usb keyboard either cant help atm:(
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Keeping firmware in sd card won't work. How will it look in sd card in first place?

Also do you mean the zip file or the stock rom. Which one should I keep it in sd?
[Micromax A116] igagan_:
Keep the rar file in internal memory then
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
few more options try the attached files... am going to try them tomorrow.. good luck if it works!!!
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Will try it tomorrow... Enough for one day!
[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
There is a developer option but its hidden go to settings>about phone>build number

click on the build number 7 times repeatedly at the fourth press it will say you are about to enter developer mode so keep pressing till u do it 7 times
[Micromax A116] igagan_:
Tpupgrade is not installing. Says 'App not installed' when I try to install it.
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Got same error here also. Time to hit mmx service center
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
Let us know what does MMX service center responds btw which location are you in ?
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
I'm in Bangalore. Been to one mmx service Centre today. It's not dedicated mmx Centre. It's general service for which mmx has outsourced I guess... Anyway, they said they don't take mmx mobile anymore as service is very worse from mmx and they often get abused from customer. They gave me some other location which is quite far from my place. Will go there Monday.
[Micromax A116] igagan_:
Any luck guys?
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
:confused :(
[Micromax A116] s-X-s:
Eventually i upgraded.... i didnt even bother to touch ok for that 'Do not touch screen or ' warning during TP firmware upgrade instead waited patiently..

For Windows 8 64bit users driver issues use Windows 7 driver folder and follow steps in this thread

[Micromax A116] belibebond:
It should not be much complicated as you mentioned.... Anyway your firmware got installed successfully?

Any news on touch screen issue guys?
[Micromax A116] igagan_:
Nope.

Having rough time
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Lost all hopes already. For sure will give it to mmx store tomorrow. Can't wait anymore.

Upgrade failed

I did a firmware upgrade using flashtool. First time the TP update started but i got a message that the update is failed. I tried to flash it again but now the TP update is not appearing. Tried many times but no use.

Any idea???
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Let me guess your touch is not working now?
[Micromax A116] meenavin:
Yes. I am getting a welcome screen and nothing is happening.
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Welcome to party dude. You just screwed up your mobile touch.

I guess I'm right person to tel you this.. Right now there is no fix for this.. So keep trying everything.. You might get lucky!
[Micromax A116] meenavin:
I just did as per the instructions and nothing else. There is no way to fix this???
[Micromax A116] esukhdev:
Seems I am lucky to have a working phone despite TPUpgrade failure.
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Nothing as of now. We will wait and see
[Micromax A116] igagan_:
Phone's in service centre now. Will call them the evening. Lets see what happens now
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Same here. They asked me to call on Wednesday. Hope for best.
[Micromax A116] esukhdev:
Will this Stock ROM i.e. Jellybean 4.2.1 support 64GB SD Card. Can someone experiment and inform for the benefit of Micromax A116 User Community.

Thanks.
[Micromax A116] shub_hi:
When will the stock 4.2 deodexed version will be out..... My fone is already rooted and cwm installed. Just wanna update by putting zip file onto my sd card and update via recovery
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
there is "tweaked chd 4.2.1" which can be installed from recovery. It's rooted too.. Search xda forums.. Let me know if you Face any issue.
[Micromax A116] nice_guy75:
Ok after reading all the replies of this thread I understood that many of the members have already messed up their Touch Screen (TP) just because of "Failed TPUpgrade" and there is no full proof method to get those TP working. I was lucky that my TP is still working even after "Failed TPUpgrade" that too twice, now I am thinking of reverting back to v4.1.16 and going to MMX Service Center for upgrading.

But I just want to know few things:

1. Do we have anyone whose TPUpgrade failed without touching the Screen during TPUpgrade?

2. Do we get TPUpgrade if we revert back to v4.1.16 after a failed TPUpgrade while installing v4.2.1? I know it pops up once only but if we get TPUpgrade failed it appears again.

3. If I restore my old backup of v4.1.16 what are the chances of it appearing, well I don't feel it should pop up if I restore the old backup but I wanted to be sure.

4. Has anyone with failed TPUpgrade tried to restore old backup just to get his TP working?
[Micromax A116] send2sherry:
Works!

Works for me. I have upgraded and then rooted! :good:
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
1.mine failed without touching screen. I'm pretty sure touching screen corrupts calibration but it won't screw up touch.

2.no we don't get what ever rom or version we try to install. No word about tp upgrade again.

3.had not taken backup.. So no idea.

4.havent tried this, but pretty sure even this will not work. All rom will get installed properly except for touch. No flickering issue nothing. Used mob via otg mouse and keyboard. So rom is not the culprit here.
[Micromax A116] nice_guy75:
Update: TPUpgrade Devil revisited, I have flashed my device with stock ROM v4.1.2 so that I can go to MMX Service Center and get my mobile updated to v4.2.1 and guess what when I boot my mobile just after flashing I got TPUpgrade and this time it was successful. I am now going to request MMX Service Center personnel to boot my mobile in front of me just to see if my TPUpgrade failed or succeed. I don't know whether they would agree or not.
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
MMX service centre are just outlets they don't have in depth knowledge of any thing. So I don't think they will be helpful in this case.
[Micromax A116] nice_guy75:
I know but I don't want any complications, if my TP messed up by them I can held them responsible, I know I can do each and everything but I just want my device to go through this TPUpgrade Devil once successfully then I can be sure that it won't come up again atleast in the near future. I have already tried atleast 6-7 ROMs till date and in the last 10 days I didn't try any of the new ROMs released just because of this TPUpgrade I am now feeling like I have been tied down and I just want to break the shackles. I hope you understand. I didn't even restored any of my applications the phone is now like new apart from the contacts.

Thanks for your advice though.
[Micromax A116] prince941:
Update is not good???

I m from bangalore. when I visited the service center to upgrade they told me that the update is faulty and they have stopped updating the device. Any idea?????
[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
Update

New update posted onto the stock rom suggests to take calibration backup of the phone through Maui Meta 6.1244.01 -update parameter

And restore those parameters in phone after software update so that phone ,network,TP,charging Can be calibrated..

Try this to make your touch panel working again

I think you can get the calibration backup of a working phone and restore it in your phone

For more info

[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
For me and most of the people it worked like a charm provided you follow the steps as they are. If they say the rom is not stable they will fix it pretty soon and that will be great. some people are reporting auto-brightness issues other than that its working perfectly the biggest glitch is the OK button provided during the TP Upgrade that should have not been there .. it confuses people to press it and thereby loosing their touch panel
[Micromax A116] neatearth:
ROM has a bug

Yes I do agree. The updation has a bug which makes screen blink continuously in a lot of mobiles. I myself tried more than 10 times to upgrade but the same screen blinking issue. A lot of people are facing the same issue with this ROM. I was forced to downgrade to 4.1.2 Visited service center and they said they were not aware of any jellybean update and they ensured me that if it has to be the case, they would have been the first person to know as Micromax would have uploaded the ROM on the server and would have intimated them about free updation. So I guess it is better to wait for a stable tweaked ROM to be released
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
Did the service center people fix the issue?

Once you connect your mobile. You need turn it on (press power button) and yes, you have to do it without battery. It will detect your phone.
[Micromax A116] nice_guy75:
Ha ha ha, I was having this problem in v4.1.2 but v4.2.1 is working great.
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
Did they change the touch panel / re flashed firmware?
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
No idea... They changed panel I guess.. When they gave it back it was still in 4.1.2... 1 I asked them to upgrade it while collecting mobile. They upgraded it to 4.2.1
[Micromax A116] Tausif Ahmed:

Did you ask them what the problem was and what did you tell them when you took your phone to claim for warranty ?
[Micromax A116] CANVAS HD:

What I am saying is that I have to update my canvas myself and when I click on firmware upgrade and connect my canvas without the sim card, memory card and battery the update doesn't start.

[Micromax A116] shub_hi:
I have upgraded to 4.2....but before doing that i have deleted the tpupdate.apk......my fone is running fine
[Micromax A116] esukhdev:
From where did you delete TPupdate.apk, from Stock ROM after extraction?
[Micromax A116] shub_hi:
Open the zip file(dont extract)and then settings/apps and then delete the tpupdate.apk.then just put rom on your external sd card and flash the same.
[Micromax A116] abhishekjain.ims:
Free RAM

how much of free RAM you guys are getting in your stock 4.2.1 ROM. ??
[Micromax A116] shub_hi:
Around 400mb of free ram
[Micromax A116] kaydee:
Nothing can fix this issue!!

Go to service center!!

Flash it from the first post..

:good: :good: :good:

If you have flashable zip then:-

open zip through winrar, go to system-->app find TPUpgrade.apk and delete it,

If .img file, then can not delete it, (you can though but its too complicated)
[Micromax A116] abhishekjain.ims:
Ohh no..i am too afraid of this mess. My A116 is just 1 month old & I can not take any changes. I only do prefer service center people, if they brick my phone then they will be responsible for that. :P

no online remedies helped..

rooted and installed CWM in flashing screen

flashed almost all 4.2 roms in the Forum the issue of screen flash continued.

flashed 4.1.1 all fixed stock rom via recovery

no screen flickering but only wifi issue...

i dont have original rom Backup :(:(

currently using this Rom

Wifi networks detected , stuck at obtaining IP address forever

other wifi devices working flawless at home.

Any help on these issues is much appreciated

1. Wifi connection issue on Stock Rom ..

2. Upgrading without Screen flashing

3. How to uninstall CWM ??

thanks
[Micromax A116] abhishekjain.ims:
I think everybody is getting issues after upgrading to 4.2.1, is it good decision to upgrade it to 4.2.1 or should i keep it to 4.1.2. ??
[Micromax A116] vaishnavashok:
Stay with 4.1.2 till new official updates for 4.2.

Dude Nothing Can brick this phone, (Dont throw it though :D )..

Do what you want, I was just giving you a suggestion..

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

You IMEIs are removed..

check it by dialing *#06# match it with your IMEIs..

What Caused this Issue:- Flashing xperia fusion maybe cuz as far as I know, xperia fusion rom is not made for A116.

Solution :- Use S.N. Write Tool to rewrite the IMEI, Cant tell you the procedure because Its Illegal to change IMEI, you have to google it, by your self.. :good:

Best Of Luck..

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

Wifi Issue:- Its the problem in updater Script, I am Giving you a fix, But not sure if it will work or not You can try it though, post on the rom's thread for bugs, not here....

Screen Flicker In recovery Mode:- Flash Newer Version Of CWM, or just Flash TWRP,

Uninstall CWM:- Its just Like installing the CWM, Use S.P. Tools to flash stock recovery instead of CWM recovery,

Best Of Luck :good: :good:

File Link For WiFi Fix :- http://d-h.st/SR4 (Instruction:- Flash It Via CWM/TWRP)

File Link For TWRP :- http://d-h.st/sPy (Flash It Via S.P. Flash Tools) Its an old Version though working fine, Or find new one From Index

File Link For Uninstall CWM/TWRP :- Stock Recovery :- http://d-h.st/S6d (Flash It Via S.P. Flash Tools)

Good Luck.. :)

Went to MMX service centre

They didn't have update ready

They Flashed the stock 4.1

Everything is working fine

Awaiting official upgrade

Update ROM has a bug I guess

MMX might have different hardware vendors in China for a 116; so not every a116 is same :eek::eek:
[Micromax A116] abhishekjain.ims:
Hey,

Today i spoke with service centre person & he assured me that there is no bug in the 4.2.1 update, even in the touch panel, now they have a solution. Today there was some electricity problem so most probably I will be going to tomorrow or on monday for upgrade. I hope everything will be alright. After upgrade I will give you a brief of upgrade.

Thanks
