Currently my phone is unusable. It displays the green screen with the myTouch logo for a minute or so then goes black and starts over. I can get to recovery mode, and I tried flashing the only copy of CM I have avaliable from there, which is 4.2.3, but it got stuck at the step "Deleting files..." Here's how I got to this point:
I wanted to get Navigation, but every time I tried to install it from market it said something along the lines of "The package is not signed correctly." I got the attached zip from this wave (You need a Google Wave account to view. Currently invite only.) Here's some relevant bits from the wave:
Here. I'll attach the zip file. Just install it like you would a build. If you don't see it afterwards, I hear you have to install Google Voice to make it work.
So i just go into recovery and install any zip for that?
Yup, exactly. Only downside is... with every update to Cyanogen's mod, you need to reupload the navigation.

I was on the latest CM at the time (which I think is still the latest) and this was posted before Nav was in the Market. I installed this zip and I had Nav, but there was an even newer version of Maps in Market, and I installed that and it worked this time. Only thing was, this zip somehow changed my version number of CM, and CM Updater said I was three updates behind again. I figured I'd go ahead and try running the latest CM zip and see if Maps still worked, and it did. But after a while, it randomly rebooted on me. This kept happening for a while, but it was only every couple days, so I figured I'd see if it was still doing it after the next CM update and if so I'd post about it then.
Just today a new version of Google Maps was in Market, and I downloaded it and installed it and played with it for a bit. Then later the system rebooted and I am where I am now. Just keeps rebooting after the myTouch screen.
My recovery image is just the normal Android one, I think. (It says Android system recovery <2> at the top and Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF at the bottom, but it's always said that even before Nav and working fine on 4.2.7.)
Other stuff that ran/might have ran in background: Google Voice, Google Listen, Wifi power widget... There's probably more that I'm not thinking of right now. Will add later if I do.
My recovery image doesn't let me mount my card and I don't have an SDHC reader, but obviously I can get one, since it will probably be needed to fix this.
Only reason I'm not completely freaked out right now is anti-anxiety meds. Please tell me it's not a brick, because I'm not supposed to take any more today.
It's not bricked. Do you know how to fastboot? Download Amon_RA's recovery 1.5.1G and from there fastboot it and replace your current G1 recovery. This rom allows you to mount your SD card, and from there you can put in a new rom on your phone and flash it again.
I did some searching on fastboot, and I got to the fastboot screen on my phone, but I don't understand what to do on my computer's side. I'm running XP SP3. Edit: I also have another partition running OpenSUSE, but I haven't used it in forever and I'm not very good with it. XP options are preferable.
Okay, I wanna make sure I got this right before I continue. I got the Android SDK from Google, and I got the file recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img from this thread. So from a command prompt in the tools directory of the SDK, I should run "fastboot update recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img"?
Edit: Nevermind, I want the flash command like it says in the thread I linked to. Duh.
Edit: So I did fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img and it just said < waiting for device > even when I clicked Fastboot USB on the phone. I keep getting the add hardware wizard and ignoring it. Am I supposed to install a driver for this or something?
Sorry to repost with nothing new to say, but I've searched and looked through other threads and I just can't figure this out. I really need my phone to work.
I hold back and push power on the phone, a white screen comes up with Sapphire pvt 32B... Fastboot. I plug it in to my USB cable and it changes to Fastboot USB. I get a found new hardware wizard and just hit esc.
I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img" in command prompt and it just says "< waiting for device >" forever.
I can push the trackball and the screen goes black for a second and then comes back with the exact same thing. I get the wizard again.
What am I missing?
Edit: Okay, I found the driver and now I get "sending 'recovery' (4050 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)"

what spl do you have? does it allow fastboot?
I don't know.
I was on a call and when I hung up, wanted to unlock.
Push the power button, lights on the 4 bottom buttons come on. Screen stays black, no backlight.
Push the button again, lights go off.
Push again, lights come on, no screen.
etc, etc...
I pulled the battery, and put it back in.
Now it's just sitting here saying HTC, but it doesn't get to the "quietly brilliant" ever. It just sits there forever saying HTC.
The phone is hacked, rooted, ENG S-OFF, was running Android Revolution 4G 5.1.6 or something when this all happened.
I can get into the [vol-] + [power] menu (white BG) and to recovery (black BG), but I'm not sure how to transfer files to the SD card to load a new ROM on without Android.
Can I use ADB to push a file across? If so, how?
Is there anything I should try before I wipe my phone? I'd like to back up my apps and SMSs if possible, but won't break down in tears if I can't.
Edit: I don't really know very much about ADB/Fastboot, but when I type ADB Devices the phone doesn't show up, however if I go into "Fastboot" in the white screen, I can type Fastboot Devices and my phone is listed. I suspect I can somehow push across the Android Revolution 4G ROM zip file and wipe/install it from recovery? I'm not sure how though.
WHile the phone is completely off, press and hold the Volume (down) and the Power off/on button (press the volume down first if that makes it easier ,then the power button).
Then you should get to the Hboot screen (white back), in there you should have the option to go to recovery...
As long as you can get to recovery ,your perfectly safe (even if just the hboot page)...In here you can reinstall a new ROM.
You can do so by going to mounts and storage , and choose mount usb storage (or something; make sure your connected to the PC with the USB)..
Your phone should now be connected to your pc Via your SD card..
Just download a new ROM, and then put it somewhere in your SDcard and after that, choose install zip from SDcard and select the ROM file you just transfered.
ANd unfortunately but, if you cant get passed recovery..I believe there would be no way to back up any phone/internal data .
If he wanted to back up some data as long as he has AR 5.1.6 still he should be able to reflash the rom w/o a full wipe to try and get the phone to boot so he can back up.
Some times it works sometimes it doesn't.
Just boot into hboot , then from there get to recovery. Once in recovery, you should now be able to use adb (if fastboot is working, it should see the phone in recovery).
Now put the rom in the platform tools folder(or whereever your tools/adb is (not sure if your using Linux or windows but this should work with either. Now open a terminal to platform-tools(or like earlier, whereever adb and now the rom are) now -
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard
nameofrom.zip has to be exactly what the name of the rom is you put in the location that has adb in it.
It will take a few min. to push the whole rom, when its done flash it.
This is all assuming you don't have adb in your enviorn . path- it can be done a little differently if you have it in your path in windows or Linux, but this way will work either way.
Or use fastboot to flash a new system.img, but you'll have to find one or make one- don't know where.
Di11's method is fine, but pardon me if im mistaken, can't he, since he's able to boot into recovery, plug his cord in>mount usb storage>transfer rom to sdcard>unmount>and wipe data/cache/dalvik/flash rom? it would seem easiest
Ya, sometimes I've noticed in the past when ****s all muffed up it wont wanna mount as USB storage. (Dont know why but it happens)This works every time.

Never had a problem like that, least that i know of lol, my baffled mind forgets to put the rom on my phone since i flash your rom and sense rom's daily, so i always just mount while in recovery after wiping everything.. Anyways, OP report which method you used and how it works.

Hi all, I just ordered a Chinese B63M phone at cect-shop.
Nice phone with great specs.
I alreadu know how to root it, but are there already custom Roms available?
Could'nt find a lot of info, just a Russion version.
B63M... thats my phone

Now that makes us 2 people who owns a B63M and got it from cect-shop.
What I find out about their phones is that it may not easily allow you to perform some insider operations, for instance, maybe its me but I could not find any custom recovery installed and this led to my first issue after I rooted, and installed the ROM manager, I saw the 'fix permission' and clicked it hoping to resolve my force close issues and it asked me to reboot after performing the process but it never got out of the boot, the loop continued, trying to boot into recovery become impossible but somehow a combination got me into a mode where I was able to clear flash and this took me back to a pre factory flash good thing I backed up titanium so I cld restore my apps and upgrade.
Right now I have tried to flash and the screen has gone blank yet the phone is responding to touch as I can hear sounds when the screen is clicked, indicating that its not bricked I just cant see anything going on (this is my current situation and seriously looking for help).
Lastly, I am trying to find out the htc equivalent to this b63m, it looks htc but I cant be sure which of the htc has been more or less cloned... this is going to help with a lot of things if known.
Cheers
Hi there,
If you are looking for a custom recovery, try this forum, altough you have to translate it because it is in German.
Lots of people there with our phone end they know how to get a custom recovery on it.
Cect is German

Yeah thanks, I have also stumbled on the site forum before but I cld not get something out of it, maybe I have not taken time enough to search, I am back on it now and hope I get a solution to the blacked out screen problems I have after flashing.
You know cect-shop is German, they are a German company in China... I am talking to them on skype and hoping they can help me out but they seem pretty busy or cant be bothered because their response is so much delayed or even not at all.
Well technoforum has a special B63M section with all tools required.
They also have nice custom roms like a Cyanogen fork.
I also don't speak Italian, but with the help of Google translate I'm getting pretty far.
But I do let Google translate from Italian to English, that gives me the best result.
Good luck!!
Do you also get no working screen after a reboot with both volume + and power button?
That should get you to the recovery screen without any ROM drivers.
Very correct, no screen even in recovery
When I do the button combination, I believe that it may have responded to my combination for recovery mode but I just cant see anything on the screen, it just remains the same way it was... maybe it graphics issue, as in is the graphics is messed up for some reason or resolution issue, you wont see anything being displayed.
I am just guessing here but all I did was to simply flash an update.zip from sd card.
That is very strange, since flashing a rom does not affect the screen of the recovery boot.
The rom video driver gets only active during the boot process of the rom.
In the past I had some boot problems with my Wildfire start-up that I solved by removing the SIM card and SD card, removed the battery for some minutes and them booted completely resetted.
You could try that, if that does not solve the problem, the only way to wipe the phone back to factory-reset is doing it blind.
After I get my phone I could make a step-by-step guide so you could get to the reset menu...
Another possibility is to re-flash a fresh recovery img to the phone. Since I don't know what was in your update.zip, you could messed up the recovery menue, or even the bootloader.
Re-flashing those could also help and you don. t need the display from the phone, since you use the PC for that.
Here it is
Here is the update.zip I flashed. http://chinamobiles.org/downloads.php?do=file&id=618&langid=4
I am a bit surprised myself that the screen is blanked out but the phone seem to be working still.
I have removed both SIMS and SD card plus battery several times etc. nothing changed.
You said ''After I get my phone I could make a step-by-step guide so you could get to the reset menu...'', I hope you get your phone soon tho, and i can see the step-by-step guide you made.
I have actually flashed recovery into it using flash tool, ODIN dont seem to see the phone (at least the yellow box saying COm4 or 5 is not showing), I can see the phone using adb but when I say adb reboot download or recovery, something happens but I cant see what it is.
I too have a B63M...!!! Spice Mi-350n...........
If you need a moded recovery, i can port it for you........but you need to follow some instructions...i'll give them tomorrow!!
Waiting on you... I hope my blank screen gets sorted.

Ahh thanks man... Ii will wait to hear from you tomorrow, I aim in UK and depending on what time zones you are in but I hope to find you online to connect again.
I hope you have understood my particular issue here tho, the screen if blank even tho the fone seem to be alive and it follows the boot sequence, I can even find it using 'adb devices' command, it just the screen gone blank.
Someone suggested it may be the boot.img but I dont know about that.
Cheers
I'm from India - Local time here is GMT+5:30......!!
So, here you go !!
B63M= MTK6573 + 650mhz + Android 2.3
So, one modded recovery.img can't be used for every B63M.......this is because a different B63M phone will have a different recovery.img..........(hope u understand)
Backing up everything:
1) ROOT is necessary. It is recommended to put the phone in 'Airplane mode' so that it won't disturb the process and make sure you have ~500 mb space in SD card.
2) Download 'BackUpTools.rar' from HERE and extract it to your SD Card. You'll have 2 folders - 'gscript' and 'Install'.
3) Install 'GScriptLite.apk' from gscript folder.
3) After installation, open the 'GScriptLite' application -> Menu -> Add Script.
4) Tick 'Needs SU ?'
5) Click 'Load File' and select 'Back23.sh' and then select 'save'
6) Now Click on 'Back 23' and Super User will ask for Permission and allow it. Nothing more to touch. Wait for few minutes. After few mins, it will say 'Auto Close is Cancelled'. Now its safe to close.
7) Your Back-Up will be in 'backup_' folder located in your SD card's root.
It will have files named ' firmware.info, preloader.img, nvram.img, seccnfg.img, uboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img, secstatic. img, misc.img, logo.img, expdb.img, cache.img, system.img, data.img' in that folder. Copy it to your computer and keep it at a safe place. More Over if you are posting in the forums or sharing it online, don't include ' data.img, cache.img and nvram.img' as they contain your personal information.
Here i need two files.One is recovery.img and the other is firmware.info.
If you give both, i can port one for your phone !! Also mention your phone's model name/number because, without that it is not possible.

That was the problem, you flashed only the update, not a complete Rom.
I suggest you make a complete re-flash vorm scratch, so refash a fresh recovery.img and re-flash als a new Rom.
You can vind one at technoforum' as earlier mentioned
I thot you shd read my latest.
Ok guys I appreciate this a lot.
Here at this point I think you shd hear my developments before taking any further actions or suggestions.
aha thanks, I did just that and it worked although it is still blank at the beginning of boot but later something shows up on screen and completes boots.
Remember I mentioned that someone suggested it might be a boot.img problem... well, I used flashtool to flash a boot image and I can say it worked, I now have the visuals, even tho the screen is still blank at boot start but soon after it picks up and its working, now I have the phone again.
so @balamu96m, my issue was basically the screen, without seeing anything I cannot follow the back up suggestion you gave me here, but now I can see it again.
A couple of additional issues tho...
1- I checked the kernel and it has changed from 2.3.5 into 2.3.4 and >In the current ROM flash I have lost a couple of capabilities like Flashlight, camera etc
2- I followed this link http://www.technoforum.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=3351 to flash recovery and it says Successful with the green Circle -OK-... but I still cant get boot into recovery either when I use the keys combi or when I try to boot into recovery in mobileuncle tools, it just goes blank and stays like so until I have to remove the battery and restart boot normally.
3- From the same link above they have the Golight ROM in part 2 after recovery in part 1, I am assuming this a good ROM to flash and the things I lost will get back, but I still cant boot into recovery.
Coming back to the response from balamu96m... Should I still go ahead with what yu suggested and provide you the files details you want? both recovery.img and firmware.info... I am asking because I no longer have the original ROM that came with the phone and like I said I cant even get into Recovery after I tried flashing a new recovery.img, this one from the same link above (see the recovery.img inside the 'Recovery Moddata' file from the 'UPDATEB63MRecovery2012' download file.)
Great to hear that you have visual again!
You still have root yes?
The golight rom from technoforum is a good one.
I expect mine any moment now so I can customize mine too.
Good luck!

You flashed a recovery, but that is not working ah?? Oh God!!
Why did you do that bro??
Do you have any backup of the stock one??
If you dont have, then i have 2 ideas....one idea is to flash something else such that your fone won't boot....now you can send your phone back to the manufacturer and ask them to reflash everything!!!
The other idea, i'll tell you after sometime!!
It was always so

The reason i flashed recovery initially was that my phone went into a boot loop and I was unable to get into recovery, after a while somehow i figure it out and cleared flash and then restored my phone apps and co and got on fine.
But if I could not get into recovery it means that there was not stock recovery on my phone or it got missing somehow. This I have to ask Henkdrenth since he is getting the same phone from the same shop too, but there was no recovery in my B63m, I already heard there is a recovery problem with the phone anyway, and thats why I flashed recovery and it worked but then I flashed ROM and the screen went blank, which is what got me to this forum.
I did not just go and flash recovery, it because there was none on the phone in my opinion.

After many troubles, I found a mod for w690 which is the build version of my phone, I could not boot to recovery so used flashtool and when I load the scatter text of the one I found, it automatically load in every item on the list including recovery and boot img , etc, so I flashed these to my phone... and for the first time I was back in how the phone came to me,
Gingerbread has now returned to 2.3.5.
One thing I have noticed is that the phone freezes on me and then reboots?
I still cannot boot into recovery, I tried this again using mobileuncle tools...
It seem that I have flashed my phone which is good, but I was unable to wipe cache because I could not boot into recovery to do this which may be the source of the current freeze and reboot.
Can I solve this using the mobileuncle or what can I do to wipe cache, if that is the problem
Well, received mine, rooted it an flashed a new recovery from technoforum using myuncletools.
All went well, so I suggest you do also a fres re-flash with a proper recovery.
Hope that should solve your problem.
Edit: moved from my tablet to my PC to look for the link of a correct recoveryfile for you.
First, load this recovery.
Unpack it and put the content to the root of your SD card.
Use myuncletools to flash this recovery.
Now you should have a usable custom recovery that allows you to factory-reset and wipe your phone
Install a fresh rom
How to? Look here
Well, I fear I may have completely buggered myself this time...
I unlocked using HTC Dev, and then followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26181347#post26181347 to root my device, which worked perfectly, big thanks to the guy for taking the time to sorting that out!
Now, Billy big balls here thought he was an expert because he'd done it once, and now thought he could install a custom rom, and, I can't load past my network providers screen. I think, with hindsight, I should have asked if it was compatible, my, HBOOT is 2.00(blah), which I fear may have been where I went wrong...
Now, I've got nothing on my memory card, I tried to clear the data, like some videos said we should do. But, it didn't work. So, I've took the memory card out, put it in another device, and put Fastboot and dll file, as well as the .Zip I used when I first rooted the device, and nothing. Still can't get passed the network providers screen.
I was wondering if you guys could help me out, but do it in very newbie and clear steps! (I am a bit slow)
Many thanks in advance guys!
Did you flash the boot.img separately?
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
Have you flashed the kernel?
fastboot flash boot <path to boot.img>/boot.img
Yeah - What he said :O
Can you still access the bootloader? Volume down + power
Firstly, thanks for the speedy responses.
Secondly, I have no idea what you guys are saying... What does all this mean?
But yeah, Dan-Fish, I can still access that menu, and I can still go into recovery mode!
OK
Now go to boot loader
Select fastboot using your volume keys
Hit power to get into fastboot mode
Connect to PC
Type
fastboot devices
Your phone should be listed here
Then extract the boot.img from the ROM's zip that you flashed
Fire the command
fastboot flash boot <path to boot.img>/boot.img
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
Because you unlocked with HTC DEV you need to make sure that you flash the correct kernel separately from the ROM. Have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19071114#post19071114
Right, I've finally managed to get that done, Suku_Patel, and thus far, it has loaded further than it has before, I am aware that it takes some time, for first boot especially, so, I'll give it a chance. As I speak, it's loaded up.
It's gone through set up, and it works! Many, many, many thanks for your help with this!
A afterthought, read the guides, can't count the number of times I have swyped the fastboot command.....
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
So, after the initial problems, and following the steps, it all worked perfectly, however...
I didn't like the ROM I was using, it kept cutting the volume in calls, and the camera didn't work, etc. Titanium back-up also did not register that it was rooted, so, I want to change the ROM.
I've got the ROM that I want, and I thought I'd done it right... Cleared all the data, etc. Again, I'm stuck on the loading screen. It gets past the vendor screen, but, fails to boot completely.
Is there any advice/help that you guys can offer me?
Many thanks in advance.
Repeat the steps for boot.img
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
I'm pretty sure I have, I've:
Extracted the .img on the SD card, with the .Zip there,
Shut down the phone, started it in Fastboot, USB connected
Opened CMD prompt: Fastboot Flash Boot Boot.img
Done that, then restarted it with the ROM installed
Then it just gets stuck after my service provider, on the what would be 'HTC screen'. And fails to boot. I am a quite patient man, and I am aware that it may take a while, but, it's been on this for an age!
You need to extract boot.img to your PC, not to SD card. You're flashing from PC!
Why can't people follow the guides...
There was a problem with framework-res and the phone was staying on the black screen saying 'android' part of the cm7 splash screen, so i did adb reboot recovery and did advance restore and restored the boot of one of my backups. now, when i start up my phone, it shows the 1st part of the cm7 splash screen (the android robot behind a broken window) and after a long time the screen turns off. when i turn the screen on, the android robot behind the broken window comes on for a second, and then the screen goes black (with the screen light on). i tried adb reboot recovering it, but it can't detect my device any more. (i'm not sure, but it might be that adb can only recognise the device once it shown the black screen saying 'android', which it isn't showing).please help.

it is possible that your phone's kernel or ROM is corrupted. try to flash a new ROM with a different kernel.
Probably this is a brick

how do i flash a new rom without able to get onto clockworkmod recovery and what is a kernel (and how do i change it)
You change your kernel by flashing it, like a ROM. and does your device have a different way of accessing recovery or hboot? because if so, you may be able to reach recovery. If you can, do a full wipe, then do a full restore from one of your back ups. After that, try a new ROM.
great do
