You are correct, the ">" must be removed ... I had copied those lines from my references, which originally used "cat" to copy the file instead of "cp", and I left that one in. Will update the guide.

With regard to pdanet, the guide is more on the root procedure only - like stated at the beginning it is the users responsibility to have a proper adb environment setup before doing this procedure and pdanet installation is more related to that aspect. I'll just let the others endorse using that if they adb trouble.

Indeed there maybe already other unroot guides available that should apply here.

I havent tried to do so yet, but if I did the steps I'll do will be (for the purpose of making it stock again):

That should be all - you can probably leave the su binary in /system/xbin, they probably wont notice it.

But if you need to, I would

Thanks for getting back to me quickly, tho I was able to figure it out and am unrooted now. It was as simple as changing my search words on Google. (as I'm too new, forum won't let me link.)

Hadn't gotten around to killing any stock system apps, so didn't have any to restore. However, I forgot to 'uninstall updates' for Superuser before unrooting, which initially left evidence... but nothing a reset didn't clear up :p

I was able to use Terminal Emulator to unroot, since connecting to comp was not an option in my case... I'll list what I did, in case anyone else has the same issues or just wants to unroot without their comp :p

In Terminal Emulator, I typed:

su

rm /system/xbin/su

rmdir /system/xbin/

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

reboot

I would be interested in knowing wether you are able to restore a Nandroid backup without issues

I tried, and it failed (wanted to switch back from O2 to Orange ROM to save a few things). The phone entered boot loop, and I had to use fastboot to start the recovery from my PC to flash back to O2.

Interesting point : the Boot animation was still the O2 one (the alcatle stock one), not the Orange one. I then suspect something went wrong, but do not know if the backup or the restore (or both) failed.

easy way to root alcatel ot-990

START GUIDE ================== ==================

Firstly the driver install is the "Qualcomm Composite ADB Interface - MI01". This included the site of Alcatel mobile phones.

So Remove the old site the PC Suite (which includes the driver needed), which is the file "Alcatel_PC-Suite_9.5.1012.3147.rar", decompresses it and gives the "Alcatel_PC-Suite.exe". I do not run it anyway to install prompts the phone model and the list does not have the 990 and 908. The "Alcatel_PC-Suite.exe" decompresses it with WinRAR (you may not need to decompress the newer operating - I have WinXP) and take the ypofakellous "Bin", "Driver", "USBHmgr" and some files. The driver of interest inside the ypofakello "OPAL", located inside the "Android", which in turn is located inside the "Driver".

Graphics: Alcatel_PC-Suite> Driver> Android> OPAL

Then connect the 990 (or 908) with a USB cable to PC and turns yellow on the problematic "Qualcomm HSUSB Device". So go to device manager (device manager) and reinstalled the driver giving the location of the OPAL ypofakellos and finished.

To test run a login program (I suggest MyPhoneExplorer) and closed with all wireless networks, we confirm that connects and synchronizes ONLY the cable USB.

then download the Super One Click v1.9.5 and run it. (root icon)

thats it your phone is rooted ...!!!!!!

====================== ================ END DRIVER

3G issue

Hey guys, the American community have a problem.

There is no 3G connection, do not know why, I thought it was a problem of my provider, but NO... Several countries in the region are experiencing the same problem when upgrading to GingerBread.

We only have Edge connection ('E' icon in the notification bar). Before when I was in froyo, I had HSDPA (H...) but not anymore. And don't know if this happens to others: I return to froyo and still the same, no 3G connection. Not even being beside a my provider's communications tower (then this problem will be permanent? :().

Any idea what's going on?

These files are from a phone with FROYO (was updated with OTU from v53B to v53N), never updated to Gingerbread and is working with 3G connection.

(Maybe they can help with anything)

Please guys help us :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulyuk.s:
maybe add in build.prop line with

ro.telephony.default_network=

0 = WCDMA Preferred
1 = GSM Only
2 = WCDMA Only
3 = GSM/WCDMA (auto mode, according to PRL)
4 = CDMA / EVDO. Preferred

:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEstuardo:
Nothing :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
What method did you use to return to Froyo — OTU or FOTA/FOTAFLAG reflash with the 2.2 FOTA update image?

One difference that I have noticed is that the FOTA update file for 2.2 does not include the “studypara” partition, but in the 2.3 update this “studypara” partition is present (version is SY5GDQW1, there is also a string “nv_skyworks_eu_lot0_default.qcn” there — obviously this is the European version, your last dump has SY53NNI1 and nv_skyworks_us1_lot0_default.qcn). So after updating to 2.3 you will get European settings in studypara, and reverting to 2.2 with FOTA will give you 2.2 AMSS with 2.3 European studypara (and such configuration works at least for Russian users). However, using OTU should rewrite studypara too (at least it does for me — currently I'm analyzing an USBSnoop dump of the OTU reflash process, and see studypara there; but that is from a Russian 2.3).

What you could try now is to dump the studypara partition from the broken phone (so that we will know the broken version if this was the cause), and then try to write studypara.img from the working dump:

fastboot flash studypara studypara.img

However, I'm not really sure when these studypara parameters are actually applied — maybe they take effect only during some kind of firmware update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEstuardo:
I'll try to flash the working studypara.img.

Here is the broken studypara.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
Strange, the version code is SY5GDQW1 (the same as in the FOTA 2.3 update file), but the data is not identical… WTF is happening here? Maybe the studypara partition is rewritten after the upgrade, like FOTA?

Hmm, seems to be the case here too — I have extracted studypara.img from the UsbSnoop.log (as sent from OTU), and compared it to the image dumped from that phone immediately after using OTU (the phone was immediately put into the fastboot mode, and all partition were dumped from recovery booted into RAM, so even the original recovery image was dumped). And I see the same kind of differences between these two images, as I see between your dump from the phone and the contents of the FOTA update image.

So maybe all those studypara.img dumps taken from phones are useless, and snooping OTU is needed to extract proper dumps…
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
@sigprof

Do you have any idea to modify the original parition.mbn? I have tried to flash and repack the recovery image like this: (of course if it works, theese lines are needed for the boot.img, but if it works i can see de modified partition table from the recovery)

mtdparts=msm_nand:512k@0x14d0000(FOTAFLAG),27904k@0x14f0000(FOTA),5888k@0x22d0000(boot),61440k@0x25b0000(cache),3584k@0x43b0000(recovery),768k@0x4630000(splash),512k@0x4690000(misc),133120k@0x46b0000(system),244096k@0x87b0000(userdata),1024k@0xfee0000(securo),1024k@0xff20000(studypara),1024k@0xff60000(tracability),640k@0xffa0000(tuningpara)

So...unfortunatelly no luck...:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEstuardo:
And You know what, I installed the working studypara and I've obtained a bootloop. Well, not sure if it's a bootloop, it stuck on the Telenor image.

Just to be clear, right now I'm on GB.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

If you mean me, no, I have no idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
Crap. Can you enter the fastboot mode (probably will need to pull battery if the phone hangs)? Can you restore your previous (“broken”) studypara.img, and does the phone boot after doing this?

Did you capture the dmesg output after such boot? Maybe there are some useful messages there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEstuardo:
Right now I'm downgrading to Froyo (OTU). To see if now the 3G works.

Update: No, it is not working.

And also there is something strange, when the phone starts it got a schedule of EUROPE, righ now it has 8:42 pm

The previous times I've used OTU, it put my correct schedule.

So this means that OTU doesn't erase everything in the phone when flashing. I'm wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qltsar:
I tried it, but nothing unexpected, it seems this method didn't modified anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigprof:
Very strange. And what firmware version (in build.prop) did you get after OTU?

Obviously OTU reads something from the phone; unfortunately, my USBSnoop.log turned out to be incomplete (it shows only the final stage of flashing, and the first stage, where OTU detects the phone model and sends the flashing program (Brandy_NPRG7627.bin) to the phone, has been lost — most likely becase the phone disconnects from USB and reconnects again when the flashing program is started). At the final stage only the tracability partition and the OTP IMEI is read (and tracability is rewritten at the last step).

Can you at least dump studypara in the current state (to find out whether OTU changed it at all)?

Also, if you started OTU with a normally running phone, you may try flashing in “emergency mode” instead: turn off the phone, remove the battery, then press and hold the Home button and connect the USB cable; continue to hold the Home button for several seconds while Windows installs the drivers (you should get the “ALCATEL HS-USB QsBLoader 9002” device), then try to use OTU as usual. Not sure if this is really different from what OTU does when started with a running phone, but who knows… After flashing first disconnect the USB cable, then insert the battery and turn the phone on.

Hi gulyuk!

Nice to hear that, but one question. Why did you used the "B" build? Why not the "R", at hungary there are some problems with the B, and the H too. If I am remember correctly, at the B version, there are WiFi MAC adress problems, and at the G version has many problems with the GPS unit.

BTW, I think I will stick with the GB version, some days ago, I succesfully implemented the reboot menu, it's quite the same as yours, but I have added Bootloader option, and pictures, but that was a nightmare...:D

Result:

If it's needed I will translate the added options for all of the languages, but gulyuk, another question.

The Ewra ROM means, that you stopped developing Marina Lite? Because if you stopped, i will start implementing your ROM languages to mine.

________________________________

I thinkink about SmartassV2 governor, i used it with several phones which I had before, and I think that was the best governor. It has really good battery saving states and progressive performance when you actually using your phone.
