Uman01:




Do you have CWM recovery on phone? Can Your phone boot into CWM recovery, if it can, relax, your phone will come back alive.

If not, don't worry, we will work around it.

@Uman01 I'm from Tanzania and i do have the CWM in my phone. Hello there developers. I'm using Tecno F6 and install CWM but then i never new if resetting it in a normal way of going through SETTINGS > BACKUP & RESET could cause problems..so the next thing i found my device acting weird during the process of formatting so believing i'm saving the phone from further injury i decided to disconnect the battery and then i turned it on and there it is..HOME button doesnt work, notification panel doesnt show nothing, and if i hold power button it only brings two options, REBOOT and SHUT DOWN while at first it had so many options. Please help..i must have tampered the OS i believe

AND by the way Guys for those with CWM in their phone the OTA update wont work at atll..during the process of installing it will give you this error sayin the update is for tecno f6 and the device is MTK..i dont understand now. But that is what happened to me...

@Uman01 do something

Uman01:



Do you live in Lagos? If you do, I can help you fix it. However, if you prefer to do it yourself, let me know. I will send you the files, cheers

@Uman01 and you can root the phone using kingroot mate..just go through http://kingroot.net/down and download kingroot..make sure your phone has internet access. install the apk to you phone and press the green button and there your phone will be rooted

I can help you... I would backup my Working Default Tecno F6 ROM and send to you so you flash it and your phone will be back.

You can still install OTA update with Carliv Touch Recovery that is what I use. Not CWM

6) Use Aroma Manager to move the update.zip to your /sdcard1/ root folder
7) Click "Apply update.zip"
Update Installs
9) Reboot
10) Thank coolsix

How do you access the AROMA MANAGER as i can't see the aroma manager
Alternatively can the update.zip be moved to sdcard root with phone file Explorer before booting into recovery mode and just apply update.zip without using Aroma File manager

Of course, you can use the phone file explorer.

Note that you would only find update.zip when you download the OTA update. But dont install the update from the phone update system, just copy the update.zip and place into the sdcard root and use Carliv touch to install

It didnt work for me, it says rebooting phone to recovery but once it reboots it is the normal cwmr. I tried it on my Friend's f6 and it worked. Can you upload your varliv recovery because my friend has no plan to backup his phone so i cant extract the carliv r.

after that boot the phone into cwm recovery.Then choose restore from sdcard.
After that reboot the phone.
