I ran into the same problem. After i tried flashing with sp tool and it worked like a charm i got CWM now with touch.

Btw i used mn.code edited touch CWM. Will try to make a dump and post here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdoubleb:
This CWM isnt correct yet. It doenst BACKUP / RESTORE ./custpack mn.code did add format and mount options to the menu but when backing up it doesnt backup and i guess it doesnt restore it either. So mn.code if u read this maybe u can add that too.

CDC serial driwers for ot 991?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mn.code:
At the moment, I can't. We need to find CWM for MTK devices that can backup /custapack, and than I can port it on OT991. You can't modify nandroid.c (file needed modification for custpack support) from ported one, it needs to be compiled from source, so we need to find the CWM for MTK6xxx that can backup /custpack.

Hello everyone :D

First of all I want to say thanks for all the help you provide for our Alcatel 991.

I have a ROOTED Alcatel OT-991, with NO script installed. It works fine, and I can create links of the APPS to the MicroSD with Link2sd. But I have a problem when I want to charge the device battery.

When I connect the phone to my PC it don't do anything, my PC isn't detect the phone and my phone don't charge the battery. And the same problem occurs when I connect the Alcatel to the wall AC plug. While the phone is ON, it don't charge, and the blue LED don't appear. Only when I turn off the phone, it start to charge the battery.

¿Anyone can help me please?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crivalen:
fine tuning finally done (solving corrupt package error on installation)

Hi everyone,

I wuold like to share with you my setting of this not-so-performing smartphone:

I rooted it follow the procedure explained here in October;

I added the script to have app2sd creating a etx2 partition on my class10 SD card

as the CPU working only up to 600Mhz I installed MKT CPU-Control and set it to a range between 533 to 806 Mhz

as the RAM of this phone is real low, the only app which solve its management in proper manner is Autokiller Memory

I wipe out all the task killer tried up to now

But the most important achievement is to finally solved the corrupt package error on installation or on update:

even if you seems to have plenty of room in your "fake" internal memory (the one made by the ext2 partition on SD), after a while the /data/local folder (together with the /cache ; the /data/tombstones and the data/lost+found) is full of useless apk (there you find all the unistalled app).

If you erase those apk over there, then the installation (or update) of whatever app from the market will be successful performed.

Other action to save room is to perform a delvik-cache cleaning once a week using Titanium Backup

As default browser I strongly suggest Dolphin Mini

Now my OT991D is pretty fast to open/close application and has got around 70 Mb of free RAM even with Viber, Whatsup, Indoona, Gmail, YahooMail and Facebook running in background

I hope this will help those of you who are stuck with a most unusable phone (like I was a week ago)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikica133:
I'm gonna be brief, so you should def read the entire post.

This is a <how to> for Alcatel OT-991. I had nothing to do with the development of the tools, I'm just sharing my findings.

So let's begin.

The entire process requires you to have necessary drivers + included software, otherwise it won't work.

1. Installing ROM

2. Flashing custom recovery/boot.

3. Rooting

4. Memory management

Linkz:

File1: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?e7cr3hn5oo8xxm5

File2: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ivv64vb1o8vw7pl

If you don't have the correct drivers, it wont work. If you didn't partition properly, again it won't work!

Interestingly enough, rooting using zerg rush didn't work for me. I had to root with SOC first, then ZR would just update existing su.

No,its a misunderstanding...i installed your complete backup (8 files) with CWM, but no funktion. The original Alcatel upgrade tool normally loads a lot of .img files (about 20-25 files) in his "downloaded"-folder in about 1 hour, but now by me the tool only loads 4 files (in a few seconds), shows "50%" an then hangs for more than 4 hours before it quits with a system/program error ("not found" or another message). Is it possible that only the one touch upgrade 2.6.3 is supported and the versions 1.8.3 / 1.8.2 no more? The 2.6.3 always says: "you always have the knewest version installed"...grrrrrrr:eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciuc007:

make sure you know what are you doing and read about restoring with flashtool, This back-up is made after folowing this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683883

So read the GIUDE before doing anything to your phone.

also i did a factory reset on her phone, boot once but without setting up a google acount and then do a CWM back-up. This is a clean back-up without SD ext partition, so make sure you use a fresh SD card (format your SD card and put on it only Clackworkmod folder):
