explain the exact process of how you did it .

phone should be switched off while upgrade battery should b removed

did you get green circle at the end of the upgrade ??

if upgrade from pc was successful and you started your phone.... did u touch the screen

because the phone does a TP upgrade i.e TOUCH PANEL and you should not touch the screen at any costs

if you did then it wont work

re flash it again

On TP UPGRADE - I touched screen mistakenly and so I did flashed again now I get TP UPgrade screen with start button but unable to hit start button on touch screen. Should I need to click on start button on the popup? or does the system take care of it? Pls help me.

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------

The TP Upgrade welcome screen stays for almost 20 minutes without any activity :(
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Touch screen not working.

I followed the procedure properly.. Removed batter and sim and connected device to SP tool. It started downloading automatically and that green circle came up saying update successful.

After that turned on my phone, TP update pop up came up in no time.... suddenly one more pop up on screen came saying update failed ( i think it said firmware update failed ). Later i selected OK ( may be this is where it went wront, the TP update was still there in background ). Later i turned on mobile, it will come stuck in welcome screen for me to select language, touch , softkeys nothing works..

I tried same procedure again, also tried old roms.... but no luck, that TP upgrade pop up never came again and phone will always get stuck waiting for me to select language.

Any suggestion..

Also used Maui Meta to download parameters to phone, it dint work out too :(

Help please.
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
Im also on exactly same state. Going to try flashing 4.1.2 official firmware tomorrow.
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Done that already

tried that too.. dint work.. TP is broken now.. need that TP upgrade somehow.. or calibration of screen is needed , unfortunately that is also not working for me.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

I installed multiple times now.. not getting that TP upgrade. I dont think my phone will ever get any better without that TP upgrade.. am i missing something?
[Micromax A116] shivambajaj:
Hey..if I flash this official ROM will my warranty get over....

Ps:- I'm a n00b I have a canvas HD un-rooted and I wish to flash this ROM via so tools....pls reply ASAP
[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
What i did during the TP UPGRADE

Start the phone and keep it aside.

it will show tp popup DON'T PRESS OK

THE PROCESS IS STARTING BEHIND THE POPUP

look at the screen carefully

in case screen goes off press power button once without touching panel

it may stay or take longer than 15 mins

it should be upgraded successfully..
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
Few more options to try:

Vol + & Vol - & Power button hold for few sec and then click Vol - ( factory mode) In factory mode there is an option for TP Upgrade but I dont know which key combination does the enter operation. Does any one know that?

Option 2 (most likely will not work)

Try to add a mouse via usb otg and try clicking the start button (Most likely usb otg may not work on that mode but still we may give a try)

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

I mistakenly clicked ok and so the TP Upgrade failed and I'm stuck at start screen (language selection) Is there any way can I recover and re do the TP UPGRADE?
[Micromax A116] CompsGeek:
To enter the factory mode the enter key is the combination of two touch buttons Menu and back pressed simultaneously but as the tp is not working i think that wont work :(
[Micromax A116] belibebond:
Went till factory mode and TPupgrade.. but menu button is not working..none of the soft keys are working.. so not able to select TPupgrade option.. any other ideas.. I dont have USB otg :(

Hi Members,

Could you please clarify as what happens to messages, phone numbers and other applications installed in phone. Will phone gets completely reset after upgrade or all these applications, messages and phone book remains there after upgrade. if not then what is the process of updating it back.

Thanks

There isn't any need to switch motherboards on the canvas HD. People at the service centre wouldn't do that. Here are a few steps to help you get rid of the flicker problem.

Go to settings-> about phone -> build number. Click on build number 6 times as fast as possible. You will receive a message that you are now a developer. Go back. Go to developer options -> Drawing -> click disable HW overlays.

I'm sure you'll get rid of that flicker issue by these steps. I did the same. Best of luck. :)

TP upgrade firmware and research on it

Hi Guys,

As usual other guys, I screwed up my Canvas HD 116 (hw version 1 and sw version 16), and then I started work on getting touch panel (FT5206) firmware working.

Well did adb on factory mode and tried running Tpupgrade using OTG keyboard, and got Firmware bin file error. So I looked up /system/bin/factory bin carefully and found out that it searched touch panel firmware in "/mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware".

Here is list of bin files it looks under "tp_firmware"

tinno-fts-update-byd.bin

tinno-fts-update-truly.bin

tinno-fts-update-nanbo.bin

tinno-fts-update-baoming.bin

tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin

tinno-fts-update-yeji.bin

Now I really don't know which Tinno platform 116 has, byd or truly or yeji.....

I got two firmware bin under "/etc/firmware/ft5206" -

tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin

tinno-fts-update-yeji.bin

So I copied these bin to "/mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware", given 0777 permission (please use 'su') and tried TP upgrade again, but still same error.

So conclusion is -

1. Either I need to find out other missing bin

2. Or I need to fix permission issue if any

well, I am trying hard, if anyone has any clue, info please let me know.

let's work together and get rid of this stupid touch panel firmware upgrade issue.

mmx service center simply replacing all v16 motherboards by v20 motherboards and loading JB 4.2 on it. But I want mu v16 motherboard fully working with touch, so sure, I will try hard to get it :)

Thanks,

Shrikrishna B

Guys have flashed this Rom today in my Canvas HD & flashed CWM & rooted successfully, but now after sometime of usage m getting error that ""SDCARD REMOVED, PLS INSERT NEW SDCARD"" & automatically my sd card unmounted & have to restart my device. after restart it works normally,,,m using SAN DISK ULTRA 32 GB Class 10 SDCARD...

Permission should rw-r--r--

644
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
Thanks, but I am not able to set permission using chown, its not allowing me to do it (Operation not permitted) though I am using su.

Do you have any idea how to set these permissions.
[Micromax A116] experot:
Are you able to mount sdcard0 in r/w mode because it may be possible that card is mounted in read only mode.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

One more thing. Try using chmod command because it is for settting permissions like rw-r--r-- which you are trying to set. 'chown' is command for changing ownership of file which might not work.

For setting rw-r--r-- permission you can use "chmod 644 <file>" command. Please refer once on net if I am missing something. :)
[Micromax A116] bharat_goku:
use es file explorer press menu button switch on root explorer,mount system as rw,then go to file >properties and change permissions its alot easier

m not sure if chown will work cos tats to change ownership of file not permissions of the file,use chmod otherwise but es file explorer is easier to use..
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
Thanks, let me check quickly. I tried with "chmod 644", but didn't see permissions there.
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
I just check, ES explorer displays RW permission.

But when I boot in factory mode, and verified permissions for /mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware,

----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 21795 2013-07-22 19:03 tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin

----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 21554 2013-07-22 19:03 tinno-fts-update-yeji.bin

I tried chmod 644, but not working.

sdcard0 is mounted with rw, so no issue with that.
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
It seems we can't set permissions to /storage under factory mode.

I did adb to A116 putting it in factory mode. Using keyboard I can select Tpupgrade but getting FW bin file error. So this must be permission issue for /mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware.

Can anybody help me to understand how to root factory mode of A116, this will allow me to give permissions to firmware partition.
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
Hi Deepak,

I tried the zip, and TpUpgrade.apk is not running saying App not installed.

Then i did adb and executed /system/xbin/tpupgrade, but got following error -

/sys/class/input/input3/device_name attr read fail

Can you please provide me source code of tpupgrade, so that I can modify it, or you can assist me getting it.

your help will be precious.
[Micromax A116] deepak_dpk:
This can not be a permission issue. The tpupgrade what we interrupted is basically, clearing the current firmware and installing the new firmware.

The clearing the current firmware got completed but not the installation of the newer firmware which is why touch is failed. When you re-run the TPUpgrade next time there is no active firmware on touch panel so it does not know which bin files it has to pick and install.

You can try doing one thing, rename the name of the bin file from tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin to just .bin and try doing upgrade. (we do not have anthing to loose so you try this out and let us know how it went)

Good Luck!
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
you mean just ".bin", but how can I set that null name, sorry for this.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

I tried with "tinno-fts-update-.bin", but no luck. let me check dmesg of factory mode, I hope it will give some idea.

TP Issue fixed by mmx service

My touch screen stops responding after the failed TPupgrade and gave to Micromax service center. I got back my mobile yesterday installed with 4.2 and everything is working fine. Looks like they have changed the motherboard to fix this issue.
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:
That's good news for you. Do you see IMEI number change, might be they replaced motherboard or base Tinno firmware.

Can you please tell me hw ans sw version written below the battery.

On the day they returned the phone, they told me that IMEI number is not written so will write the same and deliver it. I didnt check the number but I think due to motherboard replacement the IMEI number got lost and they've written it back.

Hw v1.0

Thnx Mate!!

This was not my first rooting or firmware updating experience with Android devices Yet I was scared to death since I have heard so many users experiencing variety of issues with d fone after updating. Its only 3 days old device so fear was quite obvious :P

Now with shivering hands I tried one other guide for updating firmware which said that we have to press "download" in SP tools.. I followed and didn't work. So searched another post and found yours and it worked out as expected.

Many thanks for your efforts. Everything is working just fine with batter options. :good:

I think previously released devices had faulty hardware n various bugs which were fixed in later manufactured devices. My device is manufactured in june so its a new lot I suppose that's why everything went so smooth and I didn't even see that last message of TPupdate after finishing upgrade. I donno.. Thanks Anyway :cowboy:
[Micromax A116] shrikrishna.b:

do not touch any button or screen, when the tp upgrade is on.. not even ok button. put your mobile aside and do your work. screen will be off during the process, not due to process, but phone will sleep. come back after 15 minutes and press unlock button and your screen will be popping successful msg. press ok.. and you're on.
