Task killers don't help. Swiping an app in task manager closes it just like exiting with the back button closes it. The phone doesn't charge to 100% as a safety feature.

It looks like a rant, true, but its not, I could make a rant, but I'd probably get thrown out.

The point is this, while this site is probably the best site on the net for android users. The site assumes that Sony Erricson made the "Tablet S", this is not the case.

That information is not correct and is miss leading. If I where to answer anybody's question in that area, it would mean that I agree with you.

Your going to do it anyway, soon. So instead of suggusting that I'm ranting, just say something like "Yes sir, we are about to add that categoty" and end of story.

I tried the easy solutions (SuperOneClick & UnlockRoot) but as expected nothing worked.

I'd like to use the method proposed above, but as my phone is a 918 and not 918N, will the files in the links work, or will I simply brick my phone?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.android:
hello all, I also I have the same problem, someone found a solution?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.exodia:
I bricked my OT-918 Android v2.3.6 when I tried alternative methods...

I guess it's waiting untill another exploit comes

EDIT:

I downloaded the scatter file from noxxious' attachment but because I bricked a phone already I decided to look up what those files actually are.

Microsoft says:

Also saying: Wrong scatter file would mean wrong memory is overwritten which will obviously lead to a brick (eg, phone tries to find OS, but because OS is not written in the correct place it cannot load it. Exactly what happened to my phone)

After some searching I discovered that you can easily retrieve the memory regions with ADB.

commandline:

adb wait-for-device
adb shell "cat proc/*" > device_info.txt

This will give you a nice text file with much information about your device...

Interesting part is this:

dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "preloader"
mtd1: 000c0000 00020000 "dsp_bl"
mtd2: 00080000 00020000 "pro_info"
mtd3: 00300000 00020000 "nvram"
mtd4: 00020000 00020000 "seccnfg"
mtd5: 00060000 00020000 "uboot"
mtd6: 00600000 00020000 "boot"
mtd7: 00600000 00020000 "recovery" <- Seems like we need this region
mtd8: 00120000 00020000 "secstatic"
mtd9: 00060000 00020000 "misc"
mtd10: 00300000 00020000 "logo"
mtd11: 000a0000 00020000 "expdb"
mtd12: 07300000 00020000 "system"
mtd13: 09100000 00020000 "custpack"
mtd14: 03c00000 00020000 "cache"
mtd15: 09fa0000 00020000 "userdata"

If you think logically (and know a little about hexadecimal stuff) there is no space between the regions...

Meaning we can calculate the addresses of all memory pages. For example (we start at 0x0)

PRELOADER = 0x0 (with size 0x00040000) out of this follows that the next region should be at 0x0+0x00040000 = 0x00040000

meaning:

DSP_BL = 0x40000 (size = 0xC0000)

following that PRO_INFO should be located at 0x40000+0xC0000=0x100000

I'm just posting a little of my research... Maybe someone with more experience knows if I can use the same scatter file as noxxious attached...

@others with an OT-918/918N/D/M: Please also try to retrieve the memory regions so we can compare... Maybe those regions are dynamic. I don't know any android developing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.exodia:
Sorry for bumping, but editing the old post failed on android. App doesnt seem to support it either.

Anyways, I calculated the offsets for my device and they match the new scatter file almost perfectly...

The older file, which I used to brick my previous phone did not match!

Please see attached file for more info...

Hello mr.exodia

Your tuto doesn't work on my phone.

I've download your files.

After 15 second, I have the following error at step 8 :

SP FLASH TOOL ERROR :(8100)

Can not find USB port !

I have somme questions :

The phone sould be on or off when I plugg the cable ?

If it is on, the phone ask me to mount the drive. What should I do ?

May be I don't have the good drivers.

Could you help me please...

Ricky
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.exodia:
Good question

Hmm,

I think you don't actually have the drivers... I first downloaded the One Touch Upgrade (/alcatelonetouch.com/nl/downloads/otu/one-touch-upgrade-s-1-7-9-setup.exe)

And I think drivers are installed automatically. (I attached the usb_driver directory, direct copy from that tool)

And your phone must be turned off. Just wait until it's fully powered-off and then plugin USB cable. You should get a "Install Driver?" popup... (If you haven't installed a driver already)

Long story short:

- Install Drivers (Download Tool or use attached file)

- Turn off phone

- Plug in to make sure windows 'knows' the device

- Unplug your phone

- Follow steps of flashing custom recovery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky074:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.exodia:
I'm glad to hear that!

Make sure to install adaway ^_^
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baracuda86:
Here is a feedback of what I did:

I followed this tutorial: www . symbianize . com / showthread . php?t=736020

I used the files for the 2.3.6 version, with the 918N scatter text and 918N recovery file.I also had to play with the pilots on my computer, and finally I could flash the recovery of my phone.

After that I only had to root from the recovery with nandroid.

I played with a few root programs, and made some mistakes with Link2SD (not to sure of what went wrong), and after rebooting, the screen got black after the android logo at the beginning of the boot... and I did not have a nandroid backup (so if you have nandroid, make sure to immediately make a backup, just in case).

I tried a lot of custom roms, but they were for 918D 918M & 918N, and none was in 2.3.6. I don't know if that was a problem, but I couldn't make the phone boot this way. (I still could access to the Nandroid Recovery)

I finally found a way to repair the phone: Alcatel provides an upgrading software for the 918, after following the procedure, I got the phone with the original system restored.

I rooted again the same way and for now everything is fine.

I don't know if it is the best way to do this (I'm far from being an expert) , but it worked for me.

Maybe my experience will help someone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky074:
Backup

Ok I will install adaway...

Is it possible to make a complete back up of my phone now ?

Something like a ghost image ?

How can I do ?

In fact I've rooted my phone to increase the free space on the intern memory.

I will try to uninstall pre-installed apps.

I suppose I have to use Titanium backup to do that ?

Next step is to use LinkToSd to make a partition on my SD card.

I you have some tutos, that would be very helpful !

Thanks a lot...

Ricky
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.exodia:
You should use root uninstaller to remove pre installed apps... but you should try a rom manager (clockworks or something) Titanium backup will just backup all apps... not the rom.

I guess looking for 'rom backup root android' should do the job.
