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
Don't know if this is a good place to post but after days of searching various threads and forums
I decided to make a general HUAWEI G6 thread to help myself and others!
So a friend gave me this phone and I know very little about its history, only that it was rooted.
Also on the battery it says sample, not sure if that changes anything. It's all functional.
Bugs that I have found:
1) Screen doesn't always wake after pressing power button, but the keys do. Installed gravity app, same problem, so it's not the button.
2) Wifi keeps connecting and disconnecting.
3)Major battery drain (maybe after I rooted again and turned on mobile data) lasts about 6hours even when idle.
So I wanted to flash a new rom.
First I rooted the phone with RootGenius and it gave me a message prior to rooting that the phone is rooted. Since I couldn't use some
apps that required root I did a Quick root and gained root and King User was installed.
Second, tried to find L-22 firmware. I found only G6 L-11 and G6 L-33, so I wonder are they compatible?
Third, tried to flash CWM recovery but when rebooting into recovery I always get stock android recovery.
And, when looking in Rom manager, under Recovery Setup, under Recovery Already Installed I get CWM Recovery and
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP). This one baffles me.
Fourth, do I have to unlock my bootloader and how? (do I need a code or is there a faster way?)
I tried installing L11 firmware downloaded from Huawei support by enetering stock recovery but the instalation
aborted and I got a message: update packages ext name error.
And this that I noticed:
Power button + up - enter recovery
Power button + down - bootloader (but my phone always gets stuck on the logo and I have to wait for the battery do die)
So I hope that somebody will be able to help and make this thread useful for others.
How to flash, unlock, which rom is compatible and so on...
I see lots of small threads regarding this phone but none of them are helpful.
This is a great phone and I would love to be able to use it.
So I guess I'll take this in little steps.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal? (attachment included)
I charged my phone all night, went to work, listened to about 45 min
of music, used about 10 minutes of reddit is fun app, got an occasional
text or call.
Mind you that I have uninstalled all bloatware, stock apps that I don't use,
most of google services, run a black background, use only 3g (had to install Xposed
and Intelli3g to achieve that). There were approx 150 apps, now maybe 60 that came with
the system. I think that I disabled almost everything I could in order to preserve the battery.
Is it maybe that the battery is weak? Phone was used before and I don't know to what extent,
but I somehow doubt that it could be used so much to wear it this much. Since it is rather new
on the market.
I would be ever so grateful if anyone could put their 2 cents, this is my first better phone and I would
hate to have to give up on it.

Hello !
When your device enter in bootloader mode , is the same like " phone always gets stuck on the logo " - so right now your device is in bootloader mode !
You can acces device only with fastboot commands and NOT with adb commands !
You can put your device in bootloader mode : manually ( by pressing combo key ) or by this command : adb reboot bootloader
You can reboot device from bootloader mode : manually ( press & keep power button more than 15 sec. ) or by this command : sudo fastboot reboot ( for linux ) or fastboot reboot ( Win ) !
It seems that your device still have an locked bootloader because you are not able to reboot your device in CWM/TWRP mode , after you already installed one of them !
Flash custom recovery : sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
Reboot device : sudo fastboot reboot
Reboot your device in TWRP recovery : adb reboot recovery
Now if your device boot into stock recovery, it seems that you have a device with a locked bootloader .
To unlock your device bootloader you should search on Huawei support if your device is able to be unlocked .
Best regards !
Thanks for replying! I'll try and follow what you said.
Thank you!
Problem with rooted phone
Hi,
I rooted my Huawei G6-L22 using KingoRoot. I'm able to access as su from ADB.
I succeed to mount /system but any file that I put here, gets removed after phone reboot.
I tried to do unroot with KingoRoot but it didn't work.
Android Version: 4.3
Build Number: G6-L22V100R001C649B138
Is there any explanation to this problem?
Thank you.
Hi, I'm having a problem with my china devices, its model is Tab mini(sounds like not popular in here maybe) Its hard to get the rom out there, cause of the ubifs which makes cant do anything.
I have 3 problem recently
First, is that my phone currently having malware attack, maybe not too popular here, which makes you install app automatically and thats a spam,
These are the method i tried
1. Install bit defender antivirus, malwarebyte, avast antivirus, no luck, cause the malware cant be detected. So I decided to reset factory on it and what happened is looks normal, but installed some apps like games, browser automatically, once you turned on wifi or mobile data (internet access) the malware start to act and download, install apps, some pop up like adobe air stopped, moboginie stopped, etc. And the device start unresponsive. You also cant install apps though play store so i need to download apk from pc and copy it to the phone, and install it. And this might be ridiculous is that when i switch off wifi, the malware automatically turned on, so i need to forget wifi to stop them. and some pop up like install browser like light browser, games, etc. And thats is my first problem any answer? I searched google and they said need to flash your device to stock or custom rom so your device formatted to a new system. Cause i only think that the malware attached to system so its imposibble to eliminate it. Any suggestion?
Second, is that how to install/flash custom recovery, cause currently my only recovery is chinese language which doesnt have the ability to install zip, and only can reset my phone, i put how my recovery looks like in the picture below. See all chinese and only can test hardware, etc. No option to install zip. So I tried to install cwm, but no hope cause cwm not support ubifs. Tried TWRP setup.exe (i put it below)from computer but it gave me Ported recovery.img is too large & causes region overlap . And i tried CTR (calvik touch recovery) gave same result on TWRP. Ever tried to install it from mobile uncle, but no hope, it wont boot into recovery i needed instead it go to chinese recovery. I know all this must be cause by UBIFS which makes all problem. The reason why i want to install custom recovery is install custom rom to eliminate malware. And cause huge problem so my last hope is use SP flash tool
Third, Before I go flash , i go backup my stock rom using MTK droid tool, and it works, successfully backed up currently stock rom and scatter files . But when I flash is using SP flash tool, it showed success and when i open my device works normally but still affected by malware, so this is my last option was format device using SP flash tool, format tab, click Auto format flash, And formal whole flash except boot loader. When done format I realize i make a big mistake, I formatted the system. When I try to flash stock again, and what happened is stuck on android logo. (Congrats you just destroy your phone) well when i googled the say just go recovery and wipe data. What happenes is that i cant go recovery, maybe i messed up the recovery there. And now my phone is in Stuck android logo. I need someone help me in this stuff idk what to do now any suggestion guys?
Thanks XDA Developers
Please reply ASAP
PS: If you guys need boot image, recovery image, etc i backed up just ask in comment i really need help from seniors
Thank you

Hello,
Regarding your first question. It is somewhat related to browser as well as websites you visit which have those ads in them. They download and auto install. You need to stay careful there.
For second question, you may visit here. I believe that's the thing you have been looking for.
For third question, maybe flash the recovery and restore to stock. SP Flashtool
Also, There isn't much a community for your device. You may try posting your query here.

Hi thanks for the quick reply After I backup my stock rom, i flash it using backup files, and it says OK, which means success. So i boot it but it just stuck on android logo and cant even go recovery. I tried Press and hold Power + Vol up. Power + Vol down, Power+Vol up & down. No luck on going to recovery. Power+Vol up gives me nothing(black screen), Power+Vol down gives me stuck android logo without recovery, Power+both vol up & down gives me black screen. Well i need help in order to get into recovery, My phone currently can be flashed and recognized by computer, and also can go adb, fastboot. And my phone is UBIFS which makes it different from others, So I need some custom rom that might work on my devices, Thank you

So i boot it but it just stuck on android logo and cant even go recovery. I tried Press and hold Power + Vol up. Power + Vol down, Power+Vol up & down. No luck on going to recovery. Power+Vol up gives me nothing(black screen), Power+Vol down gives me stuck android logo without recovery, Power+both vol up & down gives me black screen. Well i need help in order to get into recovery, My phone currently can be flashed and recognized by computer, and also can go adb, fastboot. And my phone is UBIFS which makes it different from others, So I need some custom rom that might work on my devices, Thank you

Hello,
You may ask in the forum/thread link I posted above, since there's not much around the forum for your device.

Well i have fix it, What i do is flash rom that might gives u black screen not stuck boot logo, and gives u black screen, dont owrry you can flash your original rom, after flash ur original rom, it gives you stuck apple logo (thats how chinese device wanna be ipad), and stuck again. Dont worry cause now you can go to recovery mode and wipe EMMC, and it works normally. However my malware still founded, so i decided not to play woth it again, cause it spent few days on the device, and right now i just want to sell to them as normal rather than stuck logo screen.
Remember, no matter what please backup your stock rom so that you can flash it later, and if you are dont know what you are doing dont foormat the whole system.
Thanks XDA developers

Hey guys,
Longtime lurker but first time encountering a problem and needing to register.
I've previously ran a nethunter build on an old Nexus 6 which went fine. Now I've picked up the ZTE Axon7 as I needed a new phone.
I followed this thread: HERE
I successfully was able to follow along and get TWRP as my bootloader.
I then followed the instructions to go HERE to grab the Axon7 img file and tried the "TWRP Install" method (install the image to recovery and flash it)
Now upon reboot, I get the ZTE logo (the red dot shows up at the same time like a normal boot) then the log and dot disappear with the red dot then doing one quick flash afterwards. From there the device is just off. Even if I try doing a reboot to the bootloader via power + VolUp the same thing happens. Essentially I think this means the entire bootloader from twrp is now gone??? Plugging into my PC I still get the sound of a device connecting but it is not seen in Windows. HOWEVER while the device is connected to my PC I AM still able to see the Qualcomm port in my Device Manager.
Is there any way to go back to having an OS????? Even my backups I made??? It just seems like there isn't even the bootloader anymore and I just don't know what to do :crying:
If someone could PLEASE help it would mean the world to me!
Did you ever get this resolved?

First, TWRP is a custom recovery, not a bootloader.
Second, it seems to me that your device has a locked bootloader, you have to have an UNLOCKED bootloader to flash TWRP, flashing TWRP without unlocking bootloader brocks devices. You need to restore your stock firmware.
What exactly does device manager label your device as when you connect to PC?

Yes, DrakenFX helped me out. Ended up being a long complicated process that I couldn't really rewrite here if I tried.
Anyone have this problem and solved it? I have an ASUS Zenfone Max Plus M1 (ZB570TL ) - (X018D) and i have tried every Rom you can think of from WW to CTC to CN, also tried dump firmware but nothing will stick and let this device actually fully boot up after flashing it, it just goes to the POWERED BY ANDROID screen and after 30 secs it will reboot itself back to the POWERED BY ANDROID screen and then reboot again and so on..
HOLDING VOL+ and POWER buttons in gets me to the:
- RECOVERY MODE - Just reboots back to Powered by Android screen and back to bootloop, no android guy recovery...
- FASTBOOT - Lets me have Fastboot but i cant flash anything or unlock bootloader as it errors and shows its Locked...
- NORMAL BOOT - Just reboots back to the Powered by Android and then reboots after 30 secs right back there....
There is no RECOVERY MODE that i can Factory Reset, Update.zip, clear cache...
I Flashed with SP Flashtool over 20 Firmwares and all finish with the popup Finished and green checkmark and i watch the flash process all the way without error, unplug the device and turn it on and back to Powered by Android screen and reboots itself after 30 secs... THIS IS CRAZY its like its a GAG Phone or something just messing with me like ( Jokes on you big guy ) ive never seen anything like it, its like the locked bootloader is telling the device not to allow any Firmware to install by tricking the SP Flashtool that yes it did install but didnt allow it to write to the actual system or let you get into recovery mode to factory reset the device or update from sdcard... im just wondering if its a waste of time to bother finding a UFI Box flasher that doesnt need the dongle so i could try flashing the EMMC files if that would help or not... its not a hardware problem or it wouldnt accept flashing or let it power on and enter fastboot mode....
Is this a GAG Device or has anyone actually had this exact problem and has solved it? If i could just get it to boot up into the system i could use Magisk and make a patched-boot.img thats unlocked bootloader and root but theres no ZenUI or anything but the Powered by Android screen....
Any Help would be awesome as i just put new screen, battery, back cover and buttons on this device thinking it would be a good little phone for my daughter... i cant even get any info on the device as theres no box or sticker with IMEI or Serial Number or info on the last working Firmware its all a shot in the dark... Anyways if anyone has the way to get this device working or has backup rom or links to an actual way thats not ASUS as they are just waste of time for 30 mins then you need to take it in to our service center and pay more money and im done putting money in this and could have bought her a new phone for what ive got into this Gag Phone....
Thankz...... Kixx
Judging from the whole situation, you screwed up several things honestly.
The fact it goes stuck on the splash screen and refuses to neither boot on recovery nor the system itself seems to tell 2 things:
the boot.img and recovery.img got screwed up way too much- or literally got flashed for the wrong device, hence the whole rejection to boot;
i assume SP Flashtool, even if got tricked, got a bit of a mess on the internal partitions to be flashed thru. Sounds like a big red flag because ADB can be highly of help (i don't own an X01BD but an X00HD- still an asus device- but i used simple ADB instead of things like QFIL or SP Flashtool to get things going);
On second point, if you wanna try to unlock the bootloader (since fastboot is the only one to be alive and usable- this means your device will be salvageable...atleast by a significant chunk):
you can give it an attempt by checking over my own collection post.
There you will find at the bottom some tiny guide on how to unlock the bootloader-
if you don't have a secondary rooted device, you can always rely using a laptop or pc.
What really matters is that you'll have ADB downloaded on your machine, because it could be of help to progress thru with the stuff.
After unlocked the bootloader, you can slowly approach to flash TWRP for your own device- even tho, it seems nobody so far has done anything for this specific model...
Atleast, on the bright side, unlocking the bootloader will give you the chance to flash manually the partitions via ADB, and maybe the official zendesk site for it can help if unpacking one of the update zips and see the contents inside- or generally pushing the following .zip update file via ADB and wait for the magic to happen.
I'm not sure on how to help with the region tho.
I guess, if you have the box of the device, it could give you a clue if it is a WW (WorldWide), CN (China), JP (Japan), etc. model- afterall, these letters do not lay around without a reason.
Of course, if you flash the wrong region to the wrong regional model:
then the recovery and system partitions get to screw up big time, just like the scenario you're having right now.
As a last thing, the patched boot.img file only gets to work after you got android to work-
otherwise, patching the pre-rooted boot.img file will be of no use since a functioning ROM isn't there at all.
Sadly, i don't own the device nor never had such screw-ups of this kind, but i hope it will help you up.
Ya i can flash the firmware correctly in SP Flashtool it comes back with green checkmark, all the firmware is for the correct device, its just when i had it given to me it had broken screen and bad battery, so i buy new screen, battery, backcover for it and when i booted it up it just sticks on the first screen shown ( Powered by Android ) then after like 30 secs it reboots back to that screen.. I can hold the vol + and power and get the menu to pick RECOVERY or FASTBOOT or REBOOT, recovery just reboots to powered by android screen then reboots after 30 secs, fastboot lets me use adb and fastboot but cant flash it says failed locked, and fastboot oen unlock or any of the commands to do with unlocking or flashing just gets me failed locked, but fastboot does work. Only way to root or unlock bootloader the device needs full boot into system so i can enable adb debugging or usb debug in developer settings so the computer will let the device get past the failed error locked part....
Do you know how to get the usb debugging turned on so the computer can grant full access to the device then il be able to actually crack into it and flash through fastboot..
Or where the usb debugging file is in the system.img if i extract it, use text editor and give the bool a yes that its been accepted then repack the system,img and flash it usinh sp flashtools, then i might ge able yo get it up and running....
After flashing all kinds of firmware for this device they all pass the flashing except for a few of them, ones that dont work wont even let the device boot to show system thing, then flashing correct firmware it allows the first screen again and the menu to pick fastboot but wont fully boot up..
Im thinking there must be somekind of lock the device put on from letting you oem unlock bootloader or booting into recovery mode because the firmware is working or it wouldnt take it using SP Flash Tools or even let it boot up as it would either reboot instantly or not even turn on, if the boot partition or recovery partition was courupt or broken or damaged it wouldnt take it during the flashing process it would fail....
If you know how i can activate the usb in developer settings from a file in system.img file after ectracting it then thats prob my BEST OPTION OR BUY A USED MOTHERBOATD OFF EBAY...
Lol

Well, as far as i can tell and did unlock 2 asus devices of the same model (still, X00HD):
i didn't needed to go thru android, since Asus never had an "OEM Unlock" thing to enable once unlocked dev settings-
yet, i'm speaking about the X00HD since, again, i never owned an X01BD, but i am trying to apply the same reasoning even if it is an entire different model but still same brand.
Dunno, in my case i was able to get the bootloader unlocked by going getvar all and got the secret key to unlock it just as easily by experimenting and finding cmds to use over this device's forum in here while being in Fastboot mode.
Before stepping my feet to Fastboot, tho, i even tried to get my hands at an OEM Unlocker apk made by Asus:
but to no avail it only worked on devices with really old firmware and since my device was updated to the latest Oreo FW, it was impossible to perform since things got patched overtime.
Sadly, i really don't know how to modify values over system.img files myself and tick up variables by inspecting over hex editors and such.
Least i know is getting the Brotli binaries and some other specific tool on GitHub to extract stuff from Android .img files, but that's all my skills really get limited to since i'm no dev myself nor either someone who can reverse engineer things just as well.
I think you could be out of luck on that regard.
Only thing that remains is going to a particular mode where it is required putting the phone apart and touch 2 specific pins on the board to enter it.
I currently forgot the name of this mode, but i do know by fact it's a common thing between Huawei devices.
If even this thingie won't help, then i really dunno myself.
Maybe someone else could be of help instead of me lol.
Ya ill try touching the two pins but what two oins and touch them with whst? Give me a roll out on what to do, i just dont understand why it accepts firmware but wont let me boot up into it or recovery mode or flash anything because at first it flashes then when it completes it fails and says remote unknown locked
Also im going to try find a way to format or partition the main system partitions maybe the system.img is landing on a different section of the harddrive... just need tge partitions for thus device

Aight, to start with: i'll share out a couple of links.
First, here's a picture on where the testpoints of the device are.
As of second, you need some tweezers or something that is able to touch such testpoints inside the board (unrelated, but the GH page to PotatoNV has a guide what to do with the testpoints- even tho, the page redirects you to a tool that only works with Huawei devices. Don't test it on that asus device.).
Not sure about the flashing tool, honestly, but i do know for a fact i couldn't share software in here due to rules of this forum.
Since this is, i suppose, a device with a Qualcomm SoC:
maybe you could use stuff like QFIL Flash Tool for the job (dunno about partitions, for that you should get some linux knowledge- since android uses the linux kernel to communicate with everything inside the device).
Also, i've got something intriguing right now:
apparently the forum for the X01BD effectively exists over XDA lol (turns out the X01BD is a Zenfone Max Plus M2 and not an M1).
Maybe you can check out here for further custom ROMs and recoveries, plus more proper help on the matter- as of firmware dumps, you could try hopping over Android FileHost, firmware.mobi, or steep your feet into some unknown forum that has the firmware dumps of this specific device and restore it logically (or simply doing a google search by doing [insert model number here] firmware dump - if google only gets you to shady sites, stick to the XDA forum on the device).
