1.5 Mind of Mac

Just wondering how your doing on Mind of Mac 1.5 if your having time to release this new Rom. And also is there many themes that go with 1.4? I really enjoy the 1.4 it's been working great for me with no problems that I can see so keep up the great work :) Take care now.

Noob question. Is it possible to flash a recovery without going through cmd and connecting to a pc?

cheers
[HTC One S] leohdz148:
I don't think so...after you unlock your phones bootloader you have to flash a recovery thru the pc and after you root you can start flashing custom roms which basically you have to have the phone connected to the pc the whole time during the process.

I thought so. Did my desire this way. But can't get to a computer for a few days. Gutted. Oh well. Cheers

If you are unlocked and rooted, you should be able to flash CWM recovery through Rom Manager app.

[HTC One S] glacierguy:
FlashImageGUI app works too... BUT it sounds like OP is preparing to root the device for the first time... in which he will have to use fast boot

@OP fastboot is super easy and fun to learn how to use. Just make sure to enable USB debugging and install the drivers :D:D:D
[HTC One S] Samugai:
After you unlock the bootloader you'll have to flash via fastboot to root. Once successfully rooted you can download Rom Manager from Google Play and flash it that way.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillzy1986:
Hello everyone,

I've got an Australian vodafone GT-i9000 which i bought that was having issues boot looping on power on. Sometimes it can boot loop for 20 seconds (looping at the Samsung screen, not the S screen) while others it can boot loop for 20 minutes before powering on.

I've tried flashing with ODIN using the 512 pit to numerous stock versions, most recently this : GT_I9000_XWJVP_XXJVQ_VAUJV6_Sbl (stock vodafone AU rom). The flash goes fine, however if I select format with the 512 PIT I can get the following message after the reboot:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkop2

Even if this message doesn't come up on flash, The phone keeps boot looping. Once started, the phone seems to work fine detecting internal & SD memory. I want a more permanent fix however, because if I was planning on giving it to a friend and 'leaving the phone boot looping until it starts' is probably too hard for them to understand. Also I'm not sure if there's an issue with the internalSD which is causing the problem, and if it is, it could cause further issues on more harder use.

Anyone had this sort of issue? The phone was flashed with ICS when the guy sent it to me, he said the bootloops started after he upgraded to ICS. I've got a 32gb SD- tried removing before flash and having it in while flash with no success (have seen a guide for installing on external SD for the i9000m- however it looks like you can only do this if the media device has completely failed). It seems to boot every time using a bootloader kernal (cant remember the name, ICE something from memory) into the recovery software- so maybe a busted sector on the internal SD?

Ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Dylan
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
Maybe try going into cwm wipe internal same card memory, remove external as card, put into download mode and flash with Odin using pit and repetition checked, if you get the devblock error flash this is PDA without repetition checked and without pit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984140

1. Flash Stock Rom WITH BOOTLOADER !!!

2. Problem should be solved :/

OR

Get a stock rom from KIES !

after that you can apply your custom rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillzy1986:
Bit of a problem with that matey, Kies says the phone does not support firmware updates through KEIS and the rom i've been flashing with KEIS is the full standard rom from Vodafone- includes CSC, PDA and phone files. from memory the PDA file contains the standard bootloader yeah?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saphirrot:
Look at this

Take a Firmware with the red SBL ending, thats with bootloader, flash it in download mode via odin and the problem should and must be solved through this !!

btw: i recommend to flash a JW5 version.. please tell us if this worked !

Can someone please give me the link to download the Original ROM for Alcatel OT-918(Without D/M/N)

Custom ROMs for the same make are also welcomed.

I errored with mine and I had never backed up.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
1.here is your reference

I am not responsible for any damages caused to your phone if you do the wrong way !

never flash a rom not made for your phone

2.if not sure about that ROM then use Alcatel OneTouchUpgrade to flash a stock ROM from Alcatel site

you need drivers so install Android SDK and OneTouchUpgrade also take a look at this thread browse through pages for more details about installation but

never flash that ROM this is for OT-908 only

!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kippsoft:
ROM for Alcatel OT-918 not OT-918N, nor OT-918D, neither OT-918M

Thanks ruscan.calin

But the ones in the site are for Alcatel OT 918D/M/N and my phone is OT-918

I tried but...it failed.

I tried with the Alcatel Program and it says the phone is upto date.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
how it failed ? did you try to flash it by recovery ? It doesn't work because recovery mode is made to flash only signed/official updates and Alcatel never released such an update do this: try again to flash and check your sdcard for .log files and post here that content I guess you get an "signature verification " error

well, you need a custom recovery to make it works ! tell me more ! what's about these models 918/918d/m/n where is the difference between them ?because if you try to download kernel sources there is only one source so these phone should be almost the same..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kippsoft:
This is how it happen

Let me tell you about all...

I was phone had Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread

This is how it started,

I rooted by phone successful and it has been working well for sometime...

I intended to install Root Call Blocker but it always told me that there is insufficient space.

I switched off and on again to recovery by Pressing the + Volume key and Power button.

This took me to recovery where I cleared,Cache,Dalvik Cache and Data.

When I rebooted it, it failed to start and just shows the Android logo and stops and it has never gone beyond there.

I have tried using the custom roms available at the link in @ alcatel918 dot weebly dot com/2-custom-recovery.html but the all install successfully but the phone fails to go beyond the logo.

That is why I am requesting anyone with such a phone running the same version to assist me with by may be backing up boot,recovery,data and cache and link up.

Thanks alot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
now I see... yes was a mistake about backup.. always make backups

well, it's dubious.. One Touch Upgrade is not working for you let me tell you: usually Alcatel give you the chance to flash again stock rom by connecting to their server by One Touch Upgrade but it seems is not working for you a chance is to send them a message but don't tell you rooted etc just say "is not working" you already know that I have an Alcatel phone too but for me there is a stock rom in zip format also One Touch Upgrade is working tell theml about that :how to recover ?

well, I perform some search and update this post ...

use this link to tell Alcatel about your problem I used it in the past and they answered me..

also do this check: power off then press Menu (big button? it seem you don't have it? well that middle button.. Home button) keep it pressed then connect to PC keep it pressed !! at this moment Windows should search for a driver then start One Touch Upgrade and try for update !

PS

I just performed some search now I can tell you for sure there is big difference between 918 and the others 918D etc (kernel sources are not the same!)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kippsoft:
@ marcorennes

There is no available custom ROM for Alcatel OT-918 running Android 2.3.6..

I am still searching/looking for someone having the same make so that I can safely have his/her backup.

The available custom ROMs are for OT-918 N/M/D.

Incase of anything...I will post on this forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
May be this link can help ...

h ttp :/ /sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
yes but there are sources for kernel only you need Android sources for your phone too

the single way is to get a recovery backup from somewhere...

to compile kernel sources take a look at this post

I can't believe that One Touch Upgrade is not working for your phone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
Yes, it just says that Mobile is up to grade and stop the software ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
well, find a recovery backup or request help from Alcatel tell them your phone is working but you have some software problems and you think an update/ reflash should solve it so ask them how to get update because One Touch Upgrade says that phone is up-to-date

they will answer you : I used this service in the past
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
Thank you. I have wrote to alcatel.

In fact I wonder if my alcatel si still guaranted even if I have rooted it ...

My operator can changed it next week. The phone Will be send to alcatel for a diagnostic but I dont know if they can find root or something like that. If yes i have to pay a big fine ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
I found THE solution of our problem man !!!!!

I found it !

I assume you have already Flash Tools and One Touch Upgrade 1.8.2

Step 1 : Download the file '2.3.5_Europe.zip' (file attachement)

Step 2 : Open Flash Tool

- Option --> Check USB MODE

- Option --> Backup Restore NVRAM --> Check Backup --> .....

- Scater-loading File --> "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" (in 2.3.5_Europe)

- Click DOWNLOAD

Step 3 : Wait up to the end.

When it's finished, open One Touch Upgrade and do an Upgrade ;)

It works very well now !!

Bye !

@ marcorennes

Thanks very much marcorennes,

It worked for me though it is showing me that the phone has two SIMs instead of one.

How can I go about that?

My Alcatel is OT-918 (without D/M/N).

What you gave me is for OT-918 D.

Give me way forward...but thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
Yes, I have an Alcatel OT 918 (without M/D/N) too and I have the same thing (2 sims and 918d).

I think we have now kernel sources for the OT 918d and we can now install custom ROM for 918d in our OT 918.

I'm not sure but I will try (If it's fail, I will do the same thing to restore it).

I think it's better to have the firmware of the 918d instead of ... nothing ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kippsoft:

But let me ask...did your ever back the above files in your original OT-918.

By the way how do you back it up?

I am very very grateful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
Hi !

I don't understand you're problem ... The files I shared work in you're phone no ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kippsoft:
@marcorennes

It looks like you never understood me..

What I meant is..

Did you ever backup the original 3 files you posted before your flashed your phone with the ones for OT-918D?

I followed your instructions and I have a working phone though showing two SIMs.

I have a friend that is planning to acquire OT-918(without D/M/N) just like the ones we have.

I wanted so that I can use his images to restore back to my original system..

Thanks man
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] marcorennes:
Ok ! I understand ! ^^

No, I have never backed up the originals three files ... I tried to install a custom ROM but I did it without thinking (it was a custom ROM of a 918 D) ...

The only way I found to have a working phone is to put in my phone the three files I posted (original files for a 918d)... And I don't know how it works but it works ! ;)

But when you're friend will have his phone, can you send these files for me please ?

SOLUTION

Install custom rom for specific device via recovery mode, power button + volume up.

Gingerblaze is specific rom for Alcatel 918 MIX (google this not sure if i'm allowed to post external links)

Use Alcatel's one touch upgrade software to download stock rom.

This method gets you out of recovery mode booting loops(i was stuck in this one), gets rid of unwanted roots (for when bring in device for servicing to ensure that your warranty is not voided). I was also rooted using blue rains' method for the Alcatel 918N, it works well with the MIX no issues btw.

Hope this helps!!!!:cowboy::good:

The problem is that the phone wont power up , it doesnt respond to the power button, but when i connect it to pc using usb , then Flash Tool sees the phone.

if i can get to recovery that would be great then i could flash the original stock rom
