Is adb accepting commands? If so, try to flash again recovery image and system image
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekosan:
1. Pull battery out

2. Keep it out of the device for min 10 minutes

3. Give OTU another try, (battery must be fully charged). Attention: Don't pull the usb cable, until the whole process is finished, phone restarts by itself and you get the battery charging screen on the display!!! Then you can unplug usb cable from the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMRISH KUMAR JANGID:
No adb also not accepting commands. After giving commands in adb it shows <WAITING FOR DEVICE>

Did you try fastboot:

fastboot devices

And Reinstalling the boot image and recovery whit fastboot, that saves me once.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekosan:
3 questions:

1. What system did you have installed before 2.2 or 2.3

2. Do you have CWM recovery installed?

3. When you installed update over OTU did the phone restart by himself and get you to battery charge screen?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xmilan:
He can't have CWM installed, since OTU erases everything from the phone and he has no adb/fastboot connection to flash it again.

These lithium-ion/polimer batterys don't like to be discharged fully, so he might have killed the battery, but not sure...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_t_0:
Try using fastboot, connect the phone to the computer, the put the battery when you see the light of the buttons then run this commans one by one:

fastboot -w

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase custpack

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash custpack custpack.img

this will wipe the user data, format the boot, recovery, system and custpack partitions, and it will flash again the partitions, obviously you will need the image files to do this

hope this help

I appreciate your suggestions..here i m givin the details u asked for

1. I had 2.3.4 running on my phone

2. Initially when i purchased the set, I rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery(with 2.2.2). Subsequently (few months later) I did OTU (1.9.9) update and got 2.3.4 on my phone. As i did OTU so CWM was no more with my phone.

3. After finishing OTU till 100% with massage on update window "UPDATE SUCCESSFUL. DISCONNECT THE CABLE AND RESTART YOUR PHONE". i waited for restarting my phone on its own and for charging screen for about 15 minutes keeping the phone connected to lappy. But nothing happened..neither the phone restarted nor charging screen appeared.

thanks

I have checked the battery by installing it on my friend's alcatel ot 990...and found it perfectly charging upto 100% and discharging normally. Even I used a fully charged battery for my phone to do the trials of getting it back alive.

When you get the message "waiting for device", you have to take off the battery and see I'd the phone is detected. You need to try several times.

Did you see the android logo when you turn on the phone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMRISH KUMAR JANGID:
After doing several hit and trials suggested by you all, i hav come to a conclusion that:

MY PHONE IS BEHAVING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS IF BATTRY IS NOT INSTALLED.

I concluded so by removing the battery of my friend's ot 990 (which is functioning perfectly fine) and then connecting it to my laptop. Now this perfectly fine phone behaves like my bricked phone does.

Now may be that my phone is not detecting the battery even if it is fully charged. or may be it is caused by a loose connection of phone with battery..but cant say....so if you people understand this situation and have something to suggest..then please help me in this direction.

Your friends phone now doesn't work with his own battery that worked just fine, before you placed it in your phone?

Impossible
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xmilan:
I guess you misunderstood something.

He said, that he removed the battery from his friend's OT-990 and it behaves the same way as his OT-990 with the battery in, so his phone acts like it doesn't have a battery in it.

He didn't put his friend's battery into his phone.

Alcatel ot990 brick

Hello everyone

I have a really serious problem here... Wanted to install gingerbread os on my alcatel OT990 with Daniel rs's tutorial from post #451, cause it seemed pretty legit, i mean, considering it was posted here, didn't have to think otherwise, right? :) Anyways, here's what happened. I downloaded all three packs from the thread and everything else included there, then i rooted the phone with CWM successfully. Basically i covered all the steps properly until the seventh one: Find the folder where you unpacked the PACK2 archive from step 3. Double click on the install.bat and wait for process to finish. If everything is ok, the DOS prompt window will close and phone will reboot. He'll still be off, showing Battery charging." Everything went ok until it had to reboot and show the battery charging. That didn't happen, it only showed an android logo, then the screen went completely black and nothing happened. I tried to unplug it and power it on, but no luck. That happened like...10 days ago and I've been trying to fix it ever since. Tried probably EVERY SINGLE TUTORIAL on the net...i managed to install the driver and the PC does recognize it when it's in fastboot mode. I hold volume down + power button ...and when i enter the fastboot recovery it vibrates, then it just keeps showing capacitive buttons, then android logo appears for a short time and that's it. WHATEVER I DO it just doesn't go any further than that. Also tried volume up + power + home...nothing changes. Tried pushing the ROM from the PC via cmd fastboot command, i tried every recovery solution and it says ok, the PC recognizes the fastboot, it also managed to install 2.2 ROM on it, but it wont BOOT. Only thing i did wrong and I'm aware of is that i forgot to backup everything. But it shouldn't be the reason why the phone can't boot. So please if there's anyone who had similar issues or knows how to deal with these things, please respond, i'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xmilan:
There's no such thing as fastboot recovery, they are 2 separate tools.

When you enter fastboot mode hold down Volume DOWN + Power buttons at least for 5-8 secs. It MUST NOT show any android logo when you're in fastboot mode. Once android logo shows up, it means it started to boot up.

Do you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC?

If yes, then just open a terminal and type in fastboot devices, of course the phone has to be in fastboot mode and connected to the PC. If it recognises the phone it should show a dozen of questionmark, like ??????????.

If no, then search for a ROM, a recovery or anything which uses fastboot for installing and open that folder (which has fasboot.exe in it) in Total Commander. Look for the search box in the bottom of the window, above the buttons like 'F5 copy' and type in cmd, then press enter.

(this way you don't have to manually cd to that specific folder in terminal)

From this point it's the same, so just type in fastboot devices and wait for the response. ?????? is good, an empty line is bad.

If fastboot works properly you can install any recovery with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then use adb reboot recovery with terminal (for adb just plug it into the PC, dont put it into fastboot mode), instead of trying to guess the right button combination for recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soultaker93:
OT990

Yeah i know there's nto fastboot recovery, i meant to say i tried both fastboot AND recovery, but nothing happens. When i boot up the phone it wont past android logo, hovewer it doesn't show up when i try going in fastboot mode or recovery. Only capacitive buttons light up and that's it. When i connect it with PC it does actually show that " ? fastboot", which means the PC recognises it, right? But doesn't show it as a qualcomm driver. It says that the driver has installed sucessfully, but when i left click on it, only says "eject android", nothign else. But the phone is not dead, the pc recognizes it...so dont know what the problem could be. Have no idea...:crying:

1. Instal the most recent CWM recovery:

2. Do a Backup

3. Install new kernel

4. The only bug is that Phone sometimes doesn't recognize SD card. Just restart the phone and it will revert back to normal state :)

5. This is Kernel not the ROM itself, so it won't change your Italian language files.

2. Updated my phone using alcatel update manager to 2.3.4>>> Problem not solved

3. Tried by changing permissions of BCM4329.KO, wpa_supplicant.confg etc every file related to wifi/wlan>>Problem not solved

4. Used WiFix Manager>>>Problem not solved.

Method i described one post above is ONLY method to restore all modified partitions (recovery.img, misc.img, fota.img boot.img, etc) to very stock state.

But, if you still have CWM you should flash this: MOD: Official FW V5H6-0 It is very similar to lastest official GB F/W, but prerooted and debloated. It is deodexed, but You can also reodex it if you whish with this tool.

Reminder

If your phone turning on by it self, just remove battery, press and hold POWER button while inserting battery back and release POWER button after battery is reinserted. Afterwards, try to enter recovery mode:

To enter Recovery:

Press and hold VOLUME+ and POWER buttons together, immediately after vibration release POWER and press and hold HOME while still holding VOLUME+, and after logo appear on screen you can release all buttons.

If you dont have CWM based recovery image on your phone, you should try flashing new one with fastboot through bootloader.

To enter Bootloader:

Press and hold VOLUME- and POWER buttons together, immediately after vibration release POWER. While in bootloader, screen should remain off but soft keyboard lit.
