Serious Problem

I have a serious problem with my Alcatel ot-991.

I had already rooted it a couple of weeks ago, and everything went fine.

I uninstalled some basic apps, like the hotel app, and added some root apps.

Everything was going fine, until I clicked remove updates on google play store.

I wheren't able to find the google play store app anymore, and I tried to redownload it.

That app always crashed when I tried to download something, So I decided to factory reset my phone.

I did that, and got to the SetupWizard (instelwizard), It suddenly said( Translated to English ):

The application Setup Wizard (Process

com.jrdcom.JrdSetupWizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

( un translated: De toepassing Instelwizard ( proces

com.jrdcom.JrdSetupWizard) is onverwachts gestopt. Probeer het opnieuw )

This prevents me from using my phone. I am not able to do anything with my phone now, because it gets stuck after I connect my google account with my phone. It also gets stuck when I click skip ( Overslaan ) by the option if you want to connect your phone with a google account.

I would really appreciate it if anyone would be able to help me.

( I also tried fixing it by upgrading my phone with the one touch upgrade, but my phone already had the latest version.

I flashed/rooted my phone, no ROMS or anything. )

not how to do a factory rest, what it does? i think it can't restore "/system"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justgb:
With recovery, do you mean CWM recovery?

Because I never used CWM on my phone.

I was thinking about it, but then this happened...

I was thinking of flashing/rooting my phone again, but that's my option without thinking. Meaning I have no idea if this would actually have effect on my phone. It's a decision without thinking.

By the way, you can ask me anything you need to know in order to help me out :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gp.triple:
now i have installed the cwm recovery

but from the stock recovery you can do a factory reset

hold the up volume button and turn on the phone

don't release the volume button

now you arre in recovery

muve up and down using volume

and confirm with power button

select factory reset or something similar
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justgb:
I might have given the wrong idea, I do not have CWM.

Is there anyway I can apply it to my phone without using my phone? (except turning on/off )

Anyway, I followed your steps, and factory resetted the phone. I tried using SetupWizard again, but the same problem as before is occuring.

After that I decided to also clear the cache and factory reset the phone again, but that didn't fix the problem.

(Just for fun, I managed to get on the internet with my phone, this is the only option I am able to, with a bypass.

first I clicked BrowserLogin, and clicked on google startpage <-- raw translation. Now I am able to get on the internet. )

Hey Guys,

Here is the modified framework-res.apk that changes stock battery icon with percentage one. Just delete the original framework-res,apk with Android Commander in /custpack/framework/framework-res.apk and copy the new one, then reset device :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justgb:
I am now able to controll my phone, but with different methods than usual.

For other people who got the same problem as I do, follow my steps:

bring down the notification bar.

Click on the search button.

Now you will be at google search.

Search for astro file manager apk.

Download the apk, and install it.

With that apk, you are able to run your apps, look inside your files etc.

what you can also do is type in the name of the app in google search ( For Example Camera )

Then google search will show the camera app in the list, and you are able to use the camera.

Now that I am able to get inside my phone, does this increase the chance of getting my phone fixed?

I am able to call people, but I am not able to get called by people.

So my phone sort of turned into a mp4 player...

fixed: I reset the phone with ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 1.8.2, now work fine.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gp.triple:
pai attention i try the yuweng scripts

the only one that works fine on our alcatel is the dark tremor mod

i've posted it some pages ago;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mn.code:
Dark tremor's script works partially, because it doesn't have a2sd module in /bin, so it only mounts the partition, you can't move data, A2SDGUI won't work either.This is Dark Tremor's script, the only thing I "modified" is adding a2sd in /bin and adding it in script of course.

BTW It's not only working script, adb one works fine, but the phone is a lot faster with Dark Tremor's ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gp.triple:
but the yuweng script add the support of ext partition

after the script you must flash the darktremor zip from recovery

if I understand with your script i don't need to flash zip from recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mn.code:
Just run the script, no need for flashing through recovery. BTW With flashing through recovery, I always get bootloop, just run this script and enjoy ;)

Data2SD

Hi guys,

first of all, I would like to thank you all for the support on this amazing forum and, in this case, on this particular device which is the Alcatel OT991D I own since few days.

I did follow your guide to root my phone and I got success only using a mix of mrdoubleb procedure and this other one :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754799

Now my OT991D is rooted and with 1.5Gb of ROM space

The issue is the lack of RAM and I'm using RAM Manager Pro (with VM Heap size at 12Mb and Bilance with more free memory profile on) together with Gemini App Manager to avoid the boot start of several application.

My question to you guys is the follow:

as I used a very slow SD card to get the Data2SD work, I need now to replace it with a class 10 one.

What should I have to do? Now part of my internal memory is written on the current SD. So to replace it with a new one I need to copy somehow the content of ext2 partition.

I was thinking something like Acronis or Ghost in order to have a 1:1 image of this partition

If any of you could give me other suggestion, it will be nice.

thanks again for your hard job

C
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mn.code:
Use the modified script and there is no need for class10 micro sd card. Your phone won't see EXT2 partition as rom memory, but it will automaticlly move apps to ext, plus the phone will be as fast as if apps were on internal memory. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgas138:
Hi everyone,

I have big problem, my 991D doesn't start up. Because while I was in recovery mode, i have installed by mistake a zip file of 2,5GB... for the panic I put out the battery and I did only worse :crying:

now in recovery mode the phone ask me update.zip

There is something can i do for repair my phone?

thank you for your future help

'edit: someone can upload for me a original backup for Android Recovery Utility, I think can push in my phone to solve the problem

PS: Onetouch Upgrade S doesn't work he say me a network problem,

Ok, so here is new CWM recovery port, yuweng's port doesn't have support for /custpack partition needed on our Alcatel. I had to rewrite recovery.fstab and init.rc plus some minor tweaks in order to add /custpack support (you can mount it in "mounts and storage"). It also has root privileges. There are wto versions of recovery touch-screen and classic. You can flash it either with SP Flash Tool or MobileUncle tools (if you are flashing it with MobileUncle, you need to rename touch_recovery.img to recovery.img).

You have to keep pressing the power button on your alcatel OT-991.

By me it took a while until it finally went to recovery mode.

You can see if you are in recovery mode, by seeing the green android robot with the ! sign.

When you are in recovery mode, click the home button. This will show the recovery mode options.

Move in the screen by clicking the volume buttons. ( And click the search button to click in the recovery mode. I am not sure if the search button does that, but I thought the search button did that. )

By the way, I still got my problem with my Alcatel OT-991.

I rooted my phone, accidentally deleted the play store, and tried to fix that by resetting my phone memory.

This results in getting to the SetupWizard. At a certain point in the SetupWizard, it gets stuck.

I managed to get on my phone though ( Anyone who has the same problem, PM me ) and I am able to run apps etc.

I am able to call, but I can't get called. Also my search button and my home button broke.

Anyway, I hope I fixed your problem katergaris.
