Hello guys!

I hope that you can help me, so i want to root the phone without any 3rd party applications (of course except Superuser apk and binary), but i can't find the correct drivers for the device, so ADB cannot works for me. If it will work i can pull the partitions from the phone, and easily modify the files under boot.img & system partition, than it can be flashed back to the device.

I know it is not a quite simple way, but it's easier than you think.

If somebody can post the correct drivers for Windows 7 or share the correct udev.rules currencies for linux i'll really appriciate.

Thank you,

qltsar
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NdotGdot:
:D First of all: welcome! :D :fingers-crossed: I hope we can help each other to root this phone. :fingers-crossed:

I don't have this phone yet, so I can't give you the driver. I hope hekinen5830i can find one on his computer.

You can find a few drivers for this SoC with 'mtk6573 driver' on Google, but I don't know if they are good for this phone.

You can find a driver here, but I think it is not specifically for this phone.

:fingers-crossed: I hope you can get a good driver and root this phone. :fingers-crossed:

Good luck!

So my computer is dead i get a virus but i can help how to find the drivers .you must download the alcatel manager exe and the alcatel softwer upradger programs sorry but i dont know exactly(i think this word is wrong xd exactly :O xd) what tha name the programxd but use the google and write there how alcatel manager download and you get link for alcatel download center i think the first link you want sorry for my english.i now finished the work xd .hope i help you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NdotGdot:
You can find that programs here.

Then we have three options: MTK6573 drivers, Alcatel driver and OT-991 program driver.

You can try to trick Alcatel One Touch Upgrade to upgrade phone. you need a restore from a phone that is not updated yet (my restores are not updated yet). This way Alcatel will see that your phone is not at last version and will do all the work for you brcause Alcatel require the phone to be closed and not open to make the upgrade

I don't know other way to trick alcatel to update the phone.

I just updated my phone using One Touch Upgrade, and is all just as factory released.

Someone have the native web browser???

Hi, this is the firts time i post something on this excellent website.

I have an Alcatel One Touch 991 Play (i dont know if there is any diference with 991). I rooted it follow some instructions on this forum and a video of youtube and i havent problems with SIM card or other services like 3G o WI-FI. After, i linked an fat32 partition of a micro sd card for use it with link2sd and it works perfectly.....

The problem is that i isntalled Root Explorer because i wanted to delete all apps from Phone Company ( im from Mexico, so i am with TELCEL), because their apps are a bunch of trash (:P),,,,but when i was on this i accidentally deleted the "browser.apk"....i belived that "browser.apk" was an web browser of TELCEL, but when i used the google search widget it didnt do anything...then i wanted to navigate for solve this problem and i didnt can find the web browser!!!!

So i need your help, i want to have the native web browser again so if someone have his ot 991 rooted and have some file xplorer i need the "browser.apk" file (i remember it was ann purple icon...).

PD: sorry for my bad english (i know english but i use it rarely :P)

PD2: i tried another web browser, but the native one is very fast, simple and easy to use, for that i like it (other web browser are very heavy for the system of ths phone)

PD3: someone know if is there any upgrade or custom rom for this phone???

You can get those files by using SP flash tool, if someone could get them for us just go to readback and add two partitions preloader and dsp_bl by entering start address and length of the block

preloader

0x00000000 (start)

0x00003fff (end)

dsp_bl

0x00040000 (start)

0x000fffff (end)

this way you can get also a partition named pro_info

0x00100000 (start)

0x0017ffff (end)

Thats not correct. When my handy was new, i rooted it with a downloaded scatter file and after factory reset i made my own scatter file and then rrooted it again- without any problems. AND in both scatter.txt the first line tells me:

Yes, you just changed boot.img for rooting purposes, did you try to mess with preloader?

I backed up preloader from my OT-991, and I compared with HEX editor with some other preloaders from other firmwares based on the mt6573 and as I can see from 0x0 it begins with: "BOOTLOADER!.V005NFIINFO.......@.@.."

and from address 0x20000 it is: "MMM.8...FILE_INFO...........Pp..x." which is common to preloader for mt6573

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

not DRAM errors will be fixed if you use my preloader and dsp_bl files but you have to change starting address for preloader from 0x20000 instead of 0x0

A while back I posted a message, saying that I used wipe data on my rooted alcatel ot-991, and from that moment SetupWizard kept on crashing.

I'm here to tell you how to fix it.

Step 1 = Boot up your phone.

Step 2 = If I'm correct you should see the SetupWizard screen. Now bring your notification bar down, and click on the search button of your Alcatel.

Step 3 = If I'm correct you should be at google search. Type in the search bar: "Play Store", and Don't click search. Now you should see the play store icon at the middle of your screen. click it.

Step 4 = Search on the Play store: "Link2SD" And download the application.

Step 5 = When it's done downloading, click open.

Step 6 = Search in the Link2SD application for the SetupWizard app ( InstelWizard In dutch )

Step 7 = click on the SetupWizard, and click actions( Roughly translated, in dutch = Acties ). Now click on Block( Roughly translated, in dutch = Zet Vast ( It's under uninstall ))

If I'm right, the SetupWizard won't stop you from accessing your phone anymore, and you can use your phone again.
