Hi Guidoux, is your phone bought from us cubot a890? en caso afirmativo, you can try to flash again step by step. and make sure every step is correct.
There are many download link for the dirvers. you can google. or wait for one more day. ours will be ok in one day
I finally unbrick my phone and IT works…
Nevertheless I have a problem with the phone application. When I make a telephone call the screen becomes black and shaking or touching the phone doesn’t relight the screen. It stays back. The phone communication is OK but I can’t onhook…
Any solution? Have you the original Cubot ROM I could to download since I wiped it when reflashing

we will update the version 02/04/2014 these two days.
Por favor, when comes this update ?
Lo siento, I check with the Engineer, that the version 02/04 will make the phone black screen, so they are still working on it. maybe this version in not available but 02/05. ^^ I will update the news after holiday.
yes we took part in their Smart Phone development. and we are the official seller of Cubot. will update asap.
yes that means the bin fiel is not loading. It need you load it. close the error window and choose the file as instruction.
I still can’t get the mtk6589 driver.
Do i really need it if i already connected the device to the PC and worked with the file browser?
I downloaded some MTK65XX usb driver from the net (google for: mtk65xx driver).
It has some *.cat files and some dll files/
How do i install it?
Gracias!
Hi I used this guide to root my cubot a890:
gizbeat.com/2085/auto-root-mtk6589
(you can skip the step of pdanet drivers when you already have working ADB drivers)
make sure you have usb debugging switched on.
unzip the root tool on your pc and open run.bat (run.sh for linux users included)
after that follow the steps and you should have root!
have fun with you’re rooted phone!
Actualizar: drivers are installed after i tried to connect the device.
Now i have errorafter i press “Start all” and connecting device, dice:
ERROR: No Bootrom USB port was found! COM1 is not a Bootrom(Preloader) USB port.Auto Polling number:()
What did i do wrong? Is there something i need to config in my device?
Gracias!
Hi Nick Jones.
Can you post a link do download the ■Auto Root Files
since it can not be downloaded from the link you gave.
Thanks man!
updates: when you plug the phone to after you click the “start all button”, make sure the phone is OFF and NO battery.
Plug the device, wait some seconds, then add the battery.
Wait till end, close tool, remove device from computer.
Remov the battery again, wait some seconds, add the battery and start the phone.
Nota: you will have a new clean ROM as the day you started.
All user data and settings are removed.

Hola!
Could you upload 4gb versión?
You have posted 8gb versión and now my cubot m6589 is bricked!
gracias de antemano!
hi javier, this update is for 4gb version. if you updated version 02.04.13 con 14.03.13 your phone could be bricked. maybe wait for an new update
or someone who upload 02.04.13 firmware?or a backup of yours?
I´m so fustrated!
There are many people with the same problem.The question is that you flash this firmware,but our newest cubot m6589 are too new and i guess they have a different display hardware,so everything is fine but you can´t see anything from the display.
Can anyone upload a new packet with firmware and also a newer flashtool?
Muchas gracias!
Any solution??

I will try different rom and will update today.
I will upload a new version to fix your problem today.
