I guess One Touch Upgrade 1.9.4 is not a ready piece of software yet.

BTW, this upgrade software connects to the internet and downloads lots of files with "bin" extension to a subfolder (/downloaded). The files that are being downloaded is hosted by amazonaws e2.

If you can somehow circumvent this process and can provide other region rom's it will be very much appreciated because a lot of person misses a missing radio/fm functionality that Alcatel fails to provide for some reasons.

************************************************** *******

1. download the android sdk from developer.android.com

2. download iuss cwm image (I just put it in the platform-tools directory for convenience, in my case this is C:\Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)

3. Plug in phone via USB to the PC

4. On phone settings, make sure you have checked Applications->Development->USB Debugging

5. On PC open a command window (Flag Key + R, cmd, click OK)

6. navigate to the path of android platform-tools. e.g. cd \Program Files(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

7. type in: adb reboot-bootloader

8. after bootloader screen shows (looks the same as booting screen to me), type in: fastboot boot recovery-2012.06.09.img

9. It should boot into clockwork mod recovery. Volume up/down as cursor, power button selects, back key escapes

I think u also need the USB drivers in ur Android SDK Directory in my case is :

C:\Users\z3u5\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

In the last page u have other way to do this, but u always will need Android SDK tools and the Iuss recovery-2012.06.09.img that u can find in the page 24 of this forum.

My Rom back-up (Comviq Branded)

Here is the backup of my phone. Of course let me know if the link doesn't work. It should be fine though. Also if you find a way to de-brand it please let me know.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/UXFwkvM7/2012-07-03074515.html

Also it's no suprise that a SP here in Sweden is the only one branding this phone. I mean, I paid full price for the dam thing. Meaning no specals or any deals, just full price. And not only did they have it locked to themselves, but wanted me to pay them for the code to boot. Plus it's branded. Which means it has the Comviq logo at boot and has all the junk they wanted to put on it.

But companys over here are like that. They think the own the buyer as well as retain ownership over the items they sell. :rolleyes:

hello,

Well, despite having removed the CWM and sent the file "cuspack" original, the update still does not want to settle.

Is it possible to install an "update" on this official phone rooter? or should he de-rooter the laptop?

Anyone know a technique to remove the root? history of knowledge.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iuss:
A quick note for anyone who had trouble flashing the CWM image (i.e. it always reverts to stock recovery):

The issue is caused by leftover files from a FOTA update, causing recovery to be rewritten (based on the regular bootimg) every boot.

If you remove the script/patch responsible (requires root!) you should be able to flash CWM recovery just fine.

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

I've updated my CWM readme accordingly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
Not really. If you can access the stock recovery (as you said you can), then you can access fastboot mode too.

Do the following:

- Prepare your SD card with a backup (eject card from phone, use card reader with PC to copy the files)

- Put the card into the phone

- Switch it on holding Volume Up (to boot into stock recovery)

- Connect with USB to your PC, and use adb to reboot into bootloader mode (adb reboot bootloader)

- Once in bootloader mode, use fastboot to boot a Clockworkmod recovery image (fastboot boot cwm-recovery.img [or whatever the filename is])

- This should give you Clockworkmod. Just do the restore, then wipe data and reboot!

If done right, you should get back to a working system.

Hello, Today, I used "ONE TOUCH Q 1.9.4 Upgrade" to market to 70% and error, the phone will not turn, so be careful it can be dangerous, I know nothing in the programing of android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fonix232:
You're doing it wrong. When you booted into that mode, you need FASTBOOT, and not ADB. This is an important difference. ADB is a whole set of tools, while fastboot is only used to communicate with the bootloader, send images to flash/boot, or retrieve images for backup.

So what you need is fastboot, a prepared SD card with a backup, and a CWM image. Follow the guide I've posted before from there.

EDIT:

More access to the "bootloader mode", "recovery mode" and recognized by "One Touch Upgrade 1.9.4 Q" ...

I think the guarantee work, it was after an update Alcatel ... but I go on vacation in 3 days and I have a mandatory phone.

I was buying a brand new (has not asked my wife, she'll kill me).
