[Q] How to revive a Bluebo B3000 of which Android 4.0 is dead? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I hope someone can help me with my Bluebo B3000 (MTK6575 processor) of which I disabled the Android 4.0 software. What happened is that I tried to root the phone with the help of Gonzalox post in this thread and with the MTKdroidTools program. I didn't succeed. I tried to root the phone after returning it to the factory settings, but I still didn't succeed. And I believe it is then that I made my big mistake. I decided to use a universal rooting program, namely Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18. This program has two options (normal and special) for rooting. I tried both, but they didn't work.
Afterwards I found that some apps didn't work correctly anymore so I decided to reset the phone to the factory settings. It never got past the screen on which the picture of the android “mascot” has a loading bar through its head. The loading never starts and the phone simply freezes except for the “electron cloud”, or how one would call it, in the stomach of the android “mascot” that keeps on turning and turning. Also my laptop doesn't recognize the phone anymore. Oh, and I have tried to put it in recovery mode.
Questions:
1 Does anybody know how I can get passed the android mascot screen?
2 If not, how can I repair my android system, or replace it with a new one?
And the general sub-question; how can I make my laptop recognize my Bluebo b3000 again?
Thanx,
Felis Serval

"It sounds like the stock Android software could be corrupted. There a few things you should try first. If there is a reset button on your tablet, try using this to see if it helps. You could also try holding down the power button for 30 seconds to see if it gets it out of the boot loop. If these don`t work you will most likely have to reflash the firmware onto your tablet. This isn`t too hard to do. You can download the uberdroid program and run it from an sd card. The official uberdroid site is here - http://techknow.freeforums.org. It`s likely that this will solve your problem.

User Tomerk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115921) knows which software to use for flashing your phone. Also he knows which zip files to use. Unfortunately he does not mention these by name nor link :s But (s)he does mention FlashTool. I could find the following website: http://androxyde.github.com/ .
Copy paste from their site:
"Introduction to Flashtool
Flashtool is a flashing software that can be used to :
Flash original Images (Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.3 Images)
Root your phone
Install Recovery, Busybox, custom kernels
Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
Clear dalvik cache
Optimize (install of JIT v2) (Disabled in 0.4, will readd it as a plugin for 2.1 phones only)
Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
Clean uninstalled (remove any references to system apps removed in the Clean (root needed) step)
Edit any text file on the device
Rebrand your device"
Also I could find this FlashTool, from XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 . ANY XDA-MEMBERS THAT CAN EXPLAIN IF THIS WOULD SUITE YOUR PHONE??? For I cannot help you with this :/
Google searches used:
--> B3000 android download flash
--> download FlashTool Bluebo
Good luck, repost and...
Peace!

It starts, but doesn't respond to any touching!
Thanks to Devnulius for your reply.
Reading your reply it became clear to me that I had to reflash the phone. The phone is not that common, but its processor (MTK6575) is. Searching with Google I found this website,MT657x flashing tutorial. I found a SP Flash Tool here http://www.filecrop.com/sp-flash-tool.html. I can't remember where I found the Scatter-loading file, but I found it using Google. I followed the instructions on MT657x flashing tutorial and was able to reflash the phone. The only hard thing was that I had to connect and disconnect the phone I few times before the computer had the right driver for the computer port. I already had the drivers.
Now, a new problem has risen. The phone starts up normal and the phone loads the start screen normally. Also, I can go into factory and recovery mode. However the touchscreen is frozen. It doesn't respond to any gesture. The normal buttons (on/off switch and the two volume buttons) work normally. I've tested the touchscreen in factory mode, but to no avail. The screen will not respond.
Earlier I had asked Tomerk to send me his zip file of the Bluebo's rom. Which he did. Just as pe1fam was, as he says in this thread, I'm now able to install a Zip file in Recovery mode. I tried this with the zip file I got from Tomerk, but it didn't work. The phone aborted installation. But off course I still have the zip file.
I tried flashing the phone two more times, but the touchscreen simply won't work. The IMEI code is correct.
Does anybody have an idea on how I can make the touchscreen work again?
Thank You
Felis Serval

...
I'm trying to find an official download site for stock firmware, but cannot find it??
http://www.bing.com/search?q=Bluebo+B3000+forum+download+stock+firmware
baidu.com: bluebo b3000 stock firmware download link here
baidu.com: bluebo b3000 .zip
Also, no mirrors... So I'm really curious... Some advertisements mention "official stock software" to be delivered with your phone... Did you receive this? Also, where do the other users get their .zip stock firmwares??
sorry

rom for B3000

The phone comes in recovery and can install a zip, so that is what I'm looking for.
Can you tell me where I can find a suitable rom (or I have to return the phone to China).

yes I have flashed a rom. I don't remember where I downloaded it from, I can search if you want. Anyway I have the files on my pc. drop me an email to [email protected] if you want to contact directly.

My bluebo works again!
In the end the solution was simple. After re-flashing the phone, as was posted before, the touchscreen did not respond anymore. The solution to this problem was re-flashing the phone again but now using the boot.img and recovery.img that were stored in the clockworkmod folder of my phones SD card. On the folder with rom software for the Bluebo that I had obtained earlier, see above, both image files already existed. I replaced these with the files that I found in my clockworkmod folder, re-flashed the phone using the rom software, and voila the phone was again in working order.
Thanks DevNulius for your help!

Hello, I Think I have the exactly the same phone as you and I messed up while trying to root with SP flash tool and disconnected during the process.
Right now i have the same simptoms as you like the frezzed ANDROID screen at boot (and no conclusion of it).
I have already dowloaded the driver and tools, but now when I connect the phone it apears at device manager just while one second and disapear.
So I found this tutorial and helped a lot teaching how to use SPflash tool:
"How To use SP Flash Tool For China Mobile Phones - HDC Legend S4 [HD]" (I cant post links yet)
The flashing process is a bit different on the video, the blueboo (on my case) only can be flashed with the battery.
I have sucessfully restored a rom with the flashing process, but now I am with the same problem as Felis Serval few posts before now.

(this brazilian guy "este chapa" its saying the touch is freezzed as me)
But I don't know how to find a proper clockworkmod to use and replace boot.img and recovery.img, I already made a clockworkmod update from a zip file on the SDcard, but the touchscreen stills don't working.
At the recovery mode I can test the buttons and are diplayed the code of every button when pressed.
A funny thing is the touch are recognized as a button too (the same code appears on every click at the screen). I don't Know if it is normal.
Unfortunately after boot and at the home screen I can not unlock because the touch dont work
POST resume in portuguese:
Depois de Flashear com os arquivos do Box do Felis Serval o Celular voltou a funcionar, porem o touch nao. Assim não consigo desbloquear a tela inicial.
Pelo Modo recovery consigo testar os botoes, no momento que é pressionado é mostrado o código, incluindo quando toco na tela (tambem é reconhecido como um botão e mostra sempre o mesmo código, não sei se isto é normal).
