Hi there, phone screen remains black and no visuals after flashing rom, so I canrt see anything on screen or know what to do about it, pls help?
Details -
After flashing ROM from SD card via which seem to go well... ONLY that the screen is blanked out, no lights except the key lights, phone comes on, responds to touch by giving normal sounds like when I use flick the scroll lock and touch the screen etc (just because I know how the phone works) but problem remains that I cant see anything, so I cant even boot into recovery or download mode to flash again since its all black and dimly lit.
I have a B63M running Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I am not sure what model of HTC it falls under in case this question or similar has been asked already.
I was able to initially get into flash recovery using the mobile uncle tool which allowed me get into recovery, something that has been impossible using the stock recovery in b63m.
I backed up the ROM , cleared cache and daikvil cache then went on to flash ROM using an update.zip and then the touble I explained above.
This is a current situation pls I need help getting back up and flashing the right lattest rom for my phone?
Help me pls

Thanks for your response, yes I have gone the adb route and I was able to see my device in adb but once I say adb reboot recovery or adb reboot download, it restarts and reboots but again I cant see the screen so I have no idea what to do next or what really is happening on screen.
Maybe if you know how to proceed once in adb, you can share with me, this is frustrating me?
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
Hi team,
Wondering is someone can assist or point me in right direction for fixing my wife's Razr HD. ( Australian Telstra GSM )
Issue - Currently phones starts goes to OS , however all andriod apps / core services are stopping making it unusable, usually phone will start ask for pin and within 30 seconds all apps and core services stop ( with error messages etc ).
So here is what happens and i have tried.
1. Tried uninstalling apps ( eg whatsapp / facebook etc .. ) it uninstalls sometime before the freezing / errors - but once you reboot those apps come back as there never uninstalled :|
2. Erase all data it never works it lets me press the button , but on reboot come back to original problem OS.
So i decided i should root / install custom rom or even stock rom ).
1. Boot Loader - Unlocked ( did that on motorola website no issues )
2. Tried Installing customer recovery in fastboot ( it flashes , however it goes to original recovery dead gread andriod with red traingle with belly open !, after flash i have not let it boot to OS still the same issue) - i think it has original-recovery.p file in system i cant delete it or rename it ..
3, Rooting - tried rooting no luck .. i can connect via ADB however system is read only ( doesnt let SU , busy box etc to copy or execute at all ) - tried motochoppper/ saferoot no luck .. it cant write or copy or exceute SU.
So i tried few other extreme measures as below..
fastboot erase system or -w
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
All successful , however after that still boot to original OS.
Tried installing Stock ROM/Firmware using - RSDLite , it seems to install copied the files on reboot .. same old OS ..
i can goto fastboot , i can run adb shell command ( but its read only system ).
i am really stuck here wondering if you guys help / much appreciated.

Factory reset yes , however after device reboot it does nothing comes back t same faulty OS.
Safe mode?
Safe mode.
You may try to flash rom again but be very careful with unlocked bootloader. It's strange that you cannot boot into custom recovery holding volume down and power after you flashed it.

Cheers,
You probably left your USB plugged in after you flashed Recovery and that set you back to Stock Recovery.....unplug the usb....
Hmm sounds like symptons that my dad's old Nook color experienced being stuck in read only mode. Tried everything but it was stuck in that read only state no matter what I did. Hopefully that is not the case for your phone. Have you tried house of moto or other compatible utility to restore back to stock?
this happened a few times on an older faulty version of twrp. until someone can figure out how to remove the write only from fastboot, there is no utility or script that will fix it.
no one was able to figure it out before, unfortunately, your phone is likely toast.
Just saw this thread and it sounds exactly like what just started happening to my phone yesterday. I was unlocked, and rooted, with stock VZW (US) ROM. All was fine. Then started getting app error popups like you state and tried using TWRP recovery to install a backup I had made and it appears to work only if I DO NOT check the 'data' box. When I try and wipe data, it errors out as well. I am worried something caused it to get stuck in read only mode like one of the last comments in this thread and the phone is toast, but not just.
If you find anything or figure it out please let me know, I'll do the same....

I am guessing this might be the issue and I am experiencing it as well. However, I have no idea how that could have happened in the first place. I never tried to do anything with TWRP until after the phone began acting funny with all apps crashing (pop ups stating that) and the phone essentially becoming unusable.
When I am in TWRP and do wipes (factory reset, or advanced wipes) it seems to wipe everything fine, even the data partition. However, when I try and write to that partition it fails (i.e. restoring a backup including the data partition). If I don't include the data partition the restore works, but the phone is still crap.
Does this sound like the issue you mention below (data is stuck on read only and there is no way around it)?? If so, anyone in the market for a decent looking paperweight??

Well it looks like I was able to get through some of it. I followed the instructions here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/49699-1834614xt926-ota/. I did the extra step of going to stock 183 (unrooted) and then flashed the update in that and the phone is working fine. I am already unlocked (have been for long time), but not rooted at the moment. I believe I can root now (being that I am unlocked) but haven't tackled that yet. At the very least I have a phone that works for my upcoming business trip.....
BTW - the TWRP I had installed has been used on my phone for a long time (8-12 months??) so not sure why that version all of a sudden would have caused the issue, but at this point it doesn't appear to have been that issue (with data locked in read only mode).
I'm really glad that you found solution for you and for all of us who may have the same problem in the future. Thx.

First I tried to flash TWRP recovery and custom ROM with sp flash tool and I bricked phone. Totally it was dead. Not even charging led notification. Not any sign .But I gave it to service (under waranty ) and they fix it.
Very well but I lost all photos that are impotant to me. In order to bring photos back I must have rooted phone.
I tried everything. Root aplication -every one failed. It has locked bootloader.
I try to unlock with ADB console with no success. After command line "adb devices " it recognize phone.
But after command " adb reboot bootloader" phone goes to resatart and than it do not go to fastboot mode but shut off.
In every other way I have tried to go to fast boot i failed. Wired but I can not go to bootloader mode(combination of buttons)
It can go into stock recovery. Strange first show green android on back with red triangle and text no command and after several times of pressing power+volume up some how it enter recovery.
Please any help. There must be some way to root this stuff.
Hello, this kind of devices are very easy to root them but first of all it seems that your system partition is now very unstable so in order to restore its functionality you need to flash the stock rom.
Download stock rom and flash it using SPFlash tool v5.1748 would be fine and next I will give a try to guide you how to root it.
Any progress (10/August/2018)
I am wondering if there is a simple tutorial giving instruction on rooting the HomTom HT50 phone?
Thanks . . .
I would like to see that too. I have ht50 and I am very afraid to just flash twrp of other loaders that are similar to this phone and "should" work.
In the old days the chinese (tablets ) usually came rooted by default. Now I cannot root. which makes the phone rather useless to me. So any help would be appriciated.

FYI I did manage to both root & install TWRP onto the HT50. Unfortunately I did not document what I was doing. I'll try to remember & post back here.
I subsequently installed a Homtom (updated) stock ROM which overwrote what I had achieved.
I'll try to discover some time soon to try to dredge-up the fragmented memories of what I did.
I have my two phones and I have problems with the ignition, the way it turned on, let it be desired because they were in operation and at a certain moment when I turn them on for charging they turn off and only the red light turns on, I don't know how to repair it, there is a possibility repair and how to please
