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

Can I get some help? I bricked my phone because I was trying to install twrp. It flashed but I got TWRP cant install.Because. OEM locked.
It flashed. Great. But now IT STILL DOESNT BOOT. I'm stuck at NO COMMAND, it keeps restarting after 20-30 seconds of showing no command. and it's looping all over.*
i flashed stock firmware.It is flashed.Then reboot.Then install system update.Then Erasing.Then rebooting.Then NO COMMAND.Then reboot itselve recovery mode.Then i wiped factoory and cache.Then press rwboot to system.Then Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.Then install system update.Erasing.No Command. etc. Keeps rebooting. its on NO command screen.

KIES says that. (THR) Stock. i downloaded it and flashed with Odin. Then reboot. Then system install update. Then Erasing. Then reboot and No Command! 30 seconds keeps rebooting itself 30 seconds interval Random.
I did factory format, cache clear. then the same problem. i want to install twrp recovery with oden. It says Oem Lock. Not allowed. But i flashed Combinary file. I can get into system and i to developer mode but dosnt seem OEM UNLOCK that ll do enable it.
Ok mate, but if you press Vol- + Bixby + power for couple of seconds, can you access to download mode? If you can, I think you'll have to install the firmware all over again.
Try flashing using latest firmware from sammobile. Use Odin to flash all the files contained in firmware download. Make sure you get latest firmware for your carrier. Google how to flash using Odin. Hope this gets you in the right direction. Good luck finding what u need, do copious amounts of research before attempting any rooting of devices and if all steps aren't clear as day to you then do not attempt it unless you don't mind buying multiple expensive phones to tinker with.
Did OP find a fix to this problem?
I am experiencing a similar issue. Picked my phone up to find had randomly gone into a boot loop. Tried soft reset, cache wipe, factory reset - all successful but the phone would still reboot and be stuck on device model screen. Next I decided to flash the device with stock firmware. The flash passed in Odin, the phone then rebooted, loaded to device model screen, then a screen appeared saying "installing updates" which would make it to 25% then crash. After this the phone keeps booting, shows a screen with a dead android icon and says "no command" or "error". I have tried to flash the device using Oreo and Nougat firmware but have failed every time (although the flash did pass in Odin)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would rather not buy a new phone due to a random hardware fault which is out of my control.

Hi guys,
so here is the thing...my sister gave me s6 to fix it which i thought it would be pretty easy but...she got the phone from her friend who doesnt know much and i assume he went for rooting it but fail...at first, it was all stock and problem was on booting. It was an update screen followed by no command error(same screen after firmware installation - which that guy probably did)..Anyways, i wanted to enter recovery, do the reset and thats it, but i couldnt scroll up and down although volume up and down is working...so i installed twrp via odin and i can access it now... I have done the reset but nothing...it just randomly restarts after samsung logo and keeps going like that. Also very importamt thing you need to know is that all of thi cant be done without charger. Without charger phone is dead..So guys ,do you think it is hardware, or do i need to install proper firmware or something else.. Thank you and sorry for bad english

Hi svetp,
I had the same problem. Whenever I tried to flash the Stock ROM things got worse, until in the end I had the same problem as you. Then I read that AOKP image cures almost always such problems - and it worked ! Don't do this if phon is still under warranty as it triggers the knox counter !
If you can still access download mode try the following:
download the latest TWRP file for your S6 model
download AOKP image for your S6 model
download GAPPS for your S6 model
enter download mode
flash TWRP with Odin, but un-tick "Auto-Reboot" in Odin
when completed go to recovery at once (don't let the phone try to boot normally, just "kill" phone and hold the buttons for download mode)
when in recovery (TWRP) start ADB software (if you don't know how google samsung galaxy S6 ADB for advice)
transfer the downloaded AOKP image and GAPPS to your phone (/sdcard is a nice place) via ADB
wipe cache in TWRP
install image and GAPPS
wipe cache and reboot your phone
everything should be normal by then
Good luck !

Looking for some help please! My phone battery died the other day, I plugged it in to charge and turned it on at 3% battery life only to get stuck in a boot loop.
Did a factory reset and then successfully flashed with odin and current firmware G930TUVS9CSC1. After flashing it went to installing a system update screen only getting to about 32%, then it said erasing for a while and went back to the samsung startup screen stuck in apparently the same boot loop I started with.
Is my phone screwed or did I miss something? looking for any help, thanks.

It sometimes does this, make sure the firmware your using is correct for your device and flash again.
UNCHECK "auto reboot" in Odin
Disconnect when flash complete Do Not Turn The Phone On
Reboot into recovery volume up+home+power
Wipe cache/factory rest
Reboot

It boots up with no led indicating light and continues to just flash the opening samsung screen for eternity.

SIM reader on phone, blow into hole to dislodge any dust and make sure sim is flat in adapter. Very rarely a software problem with sim not read.

interesting, it worked fine before this started 2 days ago. I guess maybe the sim card reader broke? theres definitely no dirt in there and it seems to make a good connection (tried a new sim card had lying around and it etched lines into the sim card nicely).
Also I should mention that I had no clue what I was doing and flashed a dozen or so different versions of firmwares probably like 20 times, so maybe I caused it.

Er.... Yes!
You have to flash the correct region firmware for your device or you end up with problems like you have.
Search for the SamFirm tool on here it's great for getting the correct firmware direct from Samsung servers.

Okay well that tool's forum post says it's deprecated so I followed the alternative link to updato and got stock 8.0 from there. Flashed phone, everything works 100% but still no sim detected.
I'm wondering If I broke my phone because I even tried some custom rom with a pit file and probably did that wrong as well.

First MAKE SURE you are flashing correct firmware for your device.
What device do you have and what country?
If you are sure it's correct. Flash again with Odin but uncheck "auto reboot" in options.
When pass appears just disconnect phone, it doesn't matter what it shows on the screen.
In this sequence press and hold the following... Volume down+home+power.
As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to Volume up while still pressing home+power. It may take several attempts.
When recovery menu appears wipe cache partition then reboot.
Leave phone go through boot sequence, ignore what appears on the screen during this time it is normal. This boot should take around 5 minutes.
EDIT: FIXED, I did what you did, but for that to work I had to flash it without the hidden.img. Then it rebooted and got stuck on the logo again, but i was able to boot into recovery. Thank you so much.

Hey, thank you for responding.
I'm not 100% sure it's the right one
Device: Samsung A510M
Country: Argentina
Carrier: Personal
I downloaded a firmware from sammobile matching those specifications, but it fails at the last step with hidden.img.
This morning I downloaded another firmware through samfirm, but that one fails at modem.img instead.
I will try your instructions with either of them.

As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to Volume up while still pressing home+power. It may take several attempts.

To be clear, I only need to repeat this part of the process, not reinstall the firmware every time, correct? I've been trying to do this for a while, but it just shows:
"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I have an s7 active that is stuck in the reboot loop. I am able to get it to download mode, but when i try to flash anything it won't flash and odin stops responding.
Can someone please help me?
Its an sm-891a
I was trying to find a stock rom to flash?

Here is a pic
I have been able to get it to download mode. I have tried flashing it with odin but it fails. I have no clue what the guy before me put on it. After it fails i get the security warning saying use smart start or something like that.
I have tried it and once I type in the info and click ok the program just closes.
All i am trying to do is get it back to stock.
Can anyone please help me?
Update i was able to get it flashed in odin but it still sticks on the recovery booting screen.
Any help is welcome

Update
Last night during the endless rebooting it came up with the recovery menu, then went past the first Samsung active logo to a fading Samsung logo and then the blue att logo.
Also the blue power light is now staying on.
And its still doing the boot loop
Another update :
Here is what I can get sometimes
I feel like someone out there can help me.
Please
Another update
Sorry for all the questions but i am still having problems.
Now I get this
Fail to open recovery no such file or directory
I was able to get to the recovery screen and I did the factory reset 2 times and cleared the cache.
It booted to the att logo and restarted.
Now it just shows the start up screen and then restarts.

Here is the recovery screen that shows its updated to sw ver 8
There is something weird with this phone. Yesterday I let the battery die to make sure it was a fresh boot and it came up with the red charge light for the first time and the correct charge symbol. Before it would charge but no lights and just a circle with lightning bolt.
Now its just doing the reboot loop again and won't go into recovery.
Has anyone else ever seen anything like that?
I am glad someone was able to help me. Apparently what i have been trying to flash is just a security update.
Can someone please send me a link for the latest full rom for s7 active?
I am able to flash this. G891AUCS6CSG2_ATT6CSG2
Is it a full rom?
I have tried every rom i can find. Either they won't flash because they are an older version, or the stick in the reboot loop.
The farthest i have gotten is the blue att ball
Still no luck and no help
Finally I see my problem.
FRP MODE is on.
I need a combination file for binary 6
Please.
Just wondering if this forum is in limbo . My s7 active was working perfectly fine [til 10/22/22] and then it froze and
then it would only go to download mode. So I flash latest Samfw.com_SM-G891A_ATT_G891AUCU6CTB1 ROM and
it goes to updating system, but displays ERASING - I have tried to install only recovery and the same
happens - It deletes everything I flash ? now it only flashed recovery, boot and modem and wont flash the larger BL,CS,CSC AP files ? Just trying to get the phone working again and to use it as a dash cam - LOL
Thanks for any input
