STOCK ROM FOR ALCATEL OT-908

*IMPORTANT*

*Root Access required*

If your ALCATEL OT-908 phone is not yet rooted,

check my tutorial guide on how to ''Successfully Root Alcatel OT-908''

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467676

If you have root access on your phone the next thing you should do is

install the application ''recovery manager'' on your phone.

see download link below post

Once you have recovery manager installed you need to flash a custom recovery image with it in order to boot to clockworkmod's recovery and flash

the STOCK ROM.

see download link below post for the image file or visit URL

-recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-ot908-unsigned.zip - 4,33 MB (4.550.656 bytes)

-recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-ot908-update_signed.zip - 4,49 MB (4.714.496 bytes)

If you plan to flash a signed ROM (STOCK ROM) that is an official ALCATEL, you should use the signed recovery image

If you plan to flash a unsigned ROM (CUSTOM ROM) that is non-official, you should use the unsigned recovery image.

URL = http://android.podtwo.com/recovery.php?device=ot908

Once you flashed your custom recovery using recovery manager, you should reboot into recovery using the option in the recovery manager, and it should reboot into clockworkmod recovery.

Now you can select updating ROM, but recommended (seriously!) before

upgrading or flashing this ROM to make a NANDbackup using clockworkmod recovery

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tantoedge:
I've got an 896 Rogers Captivate that has been draining my sanity for hours now.

I managed to get it to download mode exactly ONCE out of ... literally eight hours of hold buttons, remove battery, replace battery, hold buttons, remove battery, etc etc.

I reached download mode by using the three button technique Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.

Once there I idiotically said "I can get here again.." and removed the battery.

I got this phone from a family member and managed to get it to download mode, but every other time I hold buttons (any buttons) it does exactly this:

If plugged into the computer it shows the loading daisy (which doesn't animate). I can hold any combination of the volume buttons and power button and it will flash black and return to the daisy.

If not plugged in, it shows the model number and 'Samsung'. Behavior is the same. Holding volume up, or down and the power button will flash black after eight seconds and then show the model and 'Samsung'.

I haven't tried Odin (although I've downloaded it and a rom thusly), a Jig, or any of the other brute force approaches to reaching download mode simply because I know that if I reached there once, I should be able to reach there again. Computers aren't sentient (although I swear this phone enjoys tormenting me).

Does any body have any insight to why I would be going through this?

Why won't it reach download mode again?

Just fyi: I have literally tried every button combination I can suss from the countless threads I've scoured and scanned.

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can provide.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Just to make sure, as I didn't see it in the post, you did do v+/v- and insert the usb cord from a powered off state, right?

Also, check the captivate connection issues thread in my signature if you haven't already.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tantoedge:
Different reaction

Hey thank you! Your list is handy!

I'm shocked I hadn't stumbled upon it already, or your signature for that matter..

Seriously can't understand how this is the first time I've seen it.

I've tried the [FROM A POWERED-DOWN STATE - BATTERY REMOVED] procedures but none of them got me into download mode.

Thanks all the same.

I'll try the battery charging list next.

Quick (and possibly stupid) question : Does it matter if it's an official Samsung USB cable?

As I noted in my initial post, I managed to get into download mode earlier today (little Android digging my grave ;) with the same cable I've been struggling with for the past six hours.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tantoedge:
Luck!

omigodomigodomigodomigodomigodomigod

okay, so I managed to get into d/l mode by plugging to power (outlet usb) and then applying three buttons.

So:

Battery Out

Plugged into USB

Battery In

Hold VolUp+VolDown+Power

Android man digging my grave showed up.

It should be noted that this same process was conducted several times against my PC upon which the technique worked several hours (and several hundred attempts, and half a season of StarTrek TNG) ago.

...now what (lol!)

I guess I'll fire up Kies and conduct a few more hours of scouring!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldkid94:
well you COULD go about flashing roms and kernels and modems to your hearts delight. But I would advise against that. I'd recommend first backing up EVERYTHING. Especially your /efs (you'll need to be rooted) folder if your considering flashing a rom. Once you do that you're free to flash. Just be sure to read the OP of the rom to make sure you meet the requirements for the rom or kernel, such as if you have the right boot loaders. As long as you read, you really can't go wrong with the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tantoedge:
I'm not entirely sure how the phone reached this state but according to all the stuff I've read, if the phone is in this state it's recoverable using Kies.

However Kies doesn't seem to care that I've got this phone plugged in.

Frankly, there's nothing to back up, and if flashing out with Odin is the only way to establish a working Captivate then I suppose i've got some files to download.

Does anybody have any insight regarding Kies and getting it to play nice nice?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldkid94:
Do you have Samsung drivers installed?

Personally, I have only got Kies to work when the phone was actually on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSpammer5:
If your in download mode, I suggest just flashing back to stock using heimdal.

(I don't use odin 1-click stocks because my first attempt at using it corrupted my bootloaders. My phone would power on, go through the AT&T screen for hours. I also could not enter recovery or download using 6 different methods including a jig. I lost hope and accidentally left my phone on when I went to bed. I wake up next morning and it booted up. I used terminal emulator from the market and used the command Reboot Download. I worked, then I flashed back to stock using hiemdal. I am not completely sure why I shared this story but w.e :D)

Supposedly you can touch all four corners starting with the left you can bypass it. But I have never needed to.

when you touch the 4 corners, it is not the four corners of the screen, but the 4 corners of the activation window, i.e. below the top bar, and above the emergency dial buttons.

Cool!! suddenly I see that I am not the only "nerdie" in here! :p

Thanks for sharing the pics Task! :)

You know its funny, the 10.1 is much better to browse the internet, the SGII is an amazing phone.. but the Tab 7 is special, it has digital TV, it works as a phone and it is a pretty good tab for browsing the web.

I am VERY inclined to buy the new Tab 7". Im just waiting for ICS to come out.

Actually my only complain is the lack of official release date for ICS!

All in all I like Samsung Tabs!

All this tab porn is making me randy for ICS!

And to the guy asking about tasks keyboard. Best buy sells them, they are made by zagg. And come packaged with a case. I bought one with my tab. I found the case and keyboard to be very low build quality. The keyboard did function fine just a cheap feel.

The case actually scratched my tab ...never again for me.

Depends on what you wanna do with your tablet. But i assume in this board, the majority of the users will recommend you the Galaxy Tab 10.1 :)

so, the galaxy tab is better ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kate-br:
Hi!

Well I have both the iPad (1) and the a few tabs, my conclusion is pretty simple:

iPad is easier to use and the platform is lot more "mature". Android is in development, however iPad has a more "closed" environment, everything in the iPad must have Apple´s approval, every single app, every singe book (as a matter of fact, any single literature). And there is the "cumbersome-enormous-messy maker-300 updates day" iTunes. I used to have all my cds converted to MP3 in my notebok... USED TO.. Itunes messed it up, Itunes changed the whole structure of my files without even asking. Thats the Apple way, it always has to be in the way they want, how they want and when they want.

Android Tabs are more open, the OS, as I said above, is in development. ICS promises to be good, but it is only a promise so far, we have not seem a stable build of ICS running on the Galaxy Tab, not even a "demo", a "beta" or "alpha". Even on the S2 ICS is not mature enough to be used 24/7. There are non official roms that works, but I have never tested it. I like original ROMs... Well kies.. I wont say a word about Kies....

----

My personal opinion, I like the Tab, the 10.1 screen is awesome for reading. And the Tab with the Thumb Keyboard is just amazing.

I am thinking of buying a Tab 7+. It is small, fits in my hands better. I heard somewhere that it might be the first galaxy tab to receive ICS.

In the end, it is your decision, I prefer the android bugs better than the "miliraty-boot-camp-paranoid-closed-mind" apple way. Really, iTunes made me change my mind about Apple products.

Apple is great and they manufacture great products, but controlling the stuff I want to "carry" on my devices is way too much...

TY!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] adamski123:
The current ICS build out for the Gtab 10.1 is stable, and pretty much everything works except the camera.

Its defo beta stages...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kate-br:
Hello Adam!

Its not official...

Its not "made by samsung".

:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ddwalker:
Wow, I'm impressed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
The "its not made by Samsung" is the best part of it. For years and years I have seen and used Samsungs sh$tty software. All I use is Samsung. Samsung releases software that in no way, shape, or form lives up to what the hardware can do. They seem to make it horrible. Now when teams like cyanogenmod or other devs take the source from Google and build their stuff into our devices, like our cm9 ics builds that we have now is when our devices actually perform the way they should.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kate-br:
Hello Task,

Sorry if I offended you... That was not what I meant.

I just pointed that Samsung is slow, the ICS we have available here made by the awesome XDA People is not made by Samsung.

The biggest challenge for me is that changing firmware, in the country I live, means loosing warranty.

In Brazil a Galaxy Tab, bought at licensed and legal retail stores, costs a fortune.

Tab 7 Plus = U$881

Tab 10.1 3G = U$1170

Tab 7 (old) = U$584

ipad 2 64/3g=U$1502

Source: http://www.fnac.com.br/pesquisa/9/fnac.html?q=galaxy+tab&c=Informatica

So yes, while custom ROMs can be great it is pretty complicated as we loose warranty by doing that, and not only that.. there is always a chance that "common people" (like me) can brick a tab.

The only Tab I have custom rom, is the one that is out of warranty and it is pretty old, its my Tab 7 (P1000L).

Once again Task, I am really sorry if I offended you. I didnt mean to. Never wanted to...

Im Sorry XDA.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
Lol. I think you took my statement the wrong way. I wasn't offended at all. It was just my opinion. And I respect yours too along with most everyone here on XDA. So no worries about that Kate. You have no reason to apologize at all. Ill look into a stock firmware for your country and if I find one I will make it so you and everyone from there are able to flash any custom roms you want without fear of losing warranty and are able to go back to complete stock firmware if something bad happens. Just so you know also. It is extremely hard to brick these devices. So don't worry too much about that. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kate-br:
Hello Task!

Well thank you for understanding, its just that I hold a bit of a grudge for iTunes, and since most of Apple devices are closely tied to iTunes...

Currently my desire is:

1- A unbraded ROM, based on 2.3.6, for my P1000L. As I want to get rid of "vivo" carrier stuff, and what is very important is that I do not loose the Digital TV;

If you may here is the link with the rom:

[HD2 General] NYSEAN1:
Just want to inform those who are frustrated just like me about the battery draining problem with the limited hd2 stock battery. On average and moderate use with most roms it will die between 5 to 6 hours or even earlier no matter what setting you have. If you use the extended battery it will double up you battery power. However most extended batteries are ugly fat and requires a custom battery cover for which you have to sacrifice the many/all phone cases you would like to have on to protect you phone.

I have found this THIN and EXTENDED battery at ebay:

New 2300mAh High Capacity Battery For HTC HD2 T8585 LEO

Item number:	260840063860

I want to confirm that after several and full charging, it lasts me about 12-15 hours, and I am not kidding. You don't need to sacrifice your case or don't need an ugly fat battery cover since it is the same size of the original battery. Please note that there are few 2300 mah extended and thin battery of HD2 available on ebay. I tried couple of those and they both last well over 12 hours. If any of you are interested, you may want to consider. Hope this solves your battery drainage. It solved mine. Good Luck :)
[HD2 General] retsam88:
smells very, very fishy

I don't know of ANY batteries that will pack 2300mAh in standard size battery.

Also check: http://batteryboss.org/ for any more info regarding 'false' capacity claims

Btw. read carefully in auction "capacity UP TO 2300mAh" lol, might be 1200 as well
[HD2 General] Mister B:
12hrs is about what you get on a standard cell.

6hrs is what you get on a ****e rom/kernal or with a cheap china battery swollen like a rotton mellon.

2300mAh in a standard size battery is impossible using current Lithuim Ion technology.

Total bull**** & that linked battery will be 1100 maybe 1200 at best.

I have dealt with factories in China making this junk & as an engineer can 100% claim 2300mAh in standard size cell on Li Ion is not possible ...
[HD2 General] ez2remember:
With only 5 posts we have to be sceptical you are not selling your own cheap Chinese imitations?

In the past I have tested plenty of these cheap batteries on eBay. All of them are junk. You must be a very lucky person to find one that actually lasts longer... lol

Look at it this way do you really think cheap Chinese companies on the backstreet corner has the same resources as the mega corporations who would love nothing more than make their phones thinner/smaller and have better battery life?

Common sense.
[HD2 General] retsam88:
Not only that, but technology used is already at limit(max power at certain density)
[HD2 General] NYSEAN1:
Take into consideration that Motorola atrix 4g has 1930 mAh and it is thin. So it is not impossible! I am not an engineer for that matter but the battery I got certainly doubled up the power...as I write my last charge was at 8:30am...now it is 6pm..I have 50% left after one hour of music, half an hour of navigation, few short phone calls, an hour of web browsing...checking facebook few times, few test messaging....two hours underground without service when the phone really drains out battery like diarrhea looking for service....my original battery would be dead by 3pm the latest....I have 50% left!!! And as I was saying Atrix has a thin battery so it is not impossible!!! OR I must have pure luck :)

AND another thing, I am not a seller!!!!!!
[HD2 General] NYSEAN1:
BTW what you call the resource of those companies...most of them are actually in China :)
[HD2 General] NYSEAN1:
I am not a seller by any means.....just trying to help and thats all. I have owned three HD2 and still do... I have tested all most every single rom here and tried many different batteries before I actually found one that last me very long time than the original battery with same cpu settings and rom. Just sharing what I found :)

P.S. Most of the resources of your mega corporations are actually in china...it is called outsourcing lollll....check the labels of your products buddy ;)
[HD2 General] erlern:
Mister B,

Do you think there is a manufacturer out there who can actually produce a new extended battery for our HD2 using new technology (like Huawei Honor's 1900+mah)? If only there is a DIY battery... :)
[HD2 General] NYSEAN1:
I am not an engineer and if you really are then I can tell you this... there is nothing impossible in tech world...and there is no limit. Many of the technology, hardware and software you see today, someone in the past thought are impossible. Making things possible is what we call science. I am not totally discounting the limit. But making an extended and effective thin battery is not impossible when everything getting thinner and lighter day by day...just like making a pocket size cell or smartphone in the era of brick-sized and shaped cell phone was considered impossible. Science and technology do not take things for granted...
[HD2 General] yugoport:
I get 24 hours from my battery, with 3g on and bluetooth on, 1 hour of calls, some texts,2 hours of 3g browsing (lots of them reading xda), reading documents and a lot of emails..

So I think you had a bad battery and or you have wrong settings or you havea very intense and heavy usage..

With a cheap Chinese extended battery from ebay for 10 € I can easily get 48 hours..
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I own this battery. It provides very similar performance to the stock battery. In addition, it was a bit too large for my HD2; I had to trim it to fit with an Exacto knife. I have the TMOUS model. It may be a little better, but not much.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
For 10>15 bucks it is impossible.

No cell manufacturer makes a cell of 2300mAh as small as HD2 standard battery.

Latest 1800 to 1900mAh batteries are thin but overall volume is larger & cells are constructed with absolute minimal framing & wrapping.

China has some great manufacturing but it also has world leading fraudulent copying & low quality goods with misleading specifications masked as high quality items.

Cell technology for small 2000mAh+ batteries will come but it is not available yet & certainly not first on eBay ...
