then it probably will be dead. is your PC recognizing your phone as (preloader VCOM 3) or something similar? if not, the chances are small.

cant tell you if a shop can do this, "chinaphones" are NOT supported here in Germany. you have a chance with "big" phones like Samsung , LG or HTC, otherwise there is no support here and you have to do it yourself.

just ask in Chinamobiles.org, there are people wo problably can help you.

Bricked ot-991

Yes,it is recognized like "preloade VCOM" but only after I flash the preloader file with flashtool.after I tried to flash the other files,it doesn't work,but it is recognized like MTK device.I tried a lot of solutions,but I still couldn't find something.I don't know what else to do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chrizzly92:
so you flashed the preloader and device is still working? maybe you have a chance. for the next time, never flash the preloder.

can you provide a link to the backup you are using and tried to flash?

just for imagination.. recovery isnt working? (Vol +/Vol - and power)

Bricked ot-991

i tried 3 backups,the one i made before bricking my phone,the second one from here "@mentolatux - here is a link to my backup 991 (not D) - now this link should never expire, but pls don't do anything until we get an answer to the next question." and the third one i don't remember exactly from where i downloaded it,but i remember it was from xda.i flahed preloader,recovery...it's still not working.also i tried to boot in recovery(clockworkmood) but it's not booting,actualy i cannot even turn it on.

Guys.. i can't get any info if this phone has more hardware versions.. do you know anything? please can you use flash tool to read back your preloader? Click Read back on flash tools, select "Read Page Only" from address 0x0000000 to address 0x00040000 and upload the generated files to see if they different.. we need to do this to unbrick a few bricked OT's
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chrizzly92:
i think so. the device could be optically identic, but from rev. to rev. there are small differences. ( maybe another display, touchscreen etc.) that is beacause you should never flash the preloader /DSP_BL of your devices!! im surprised that other preloaders are working, normally a wrong preloader kills your device forever.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
Ok.. there are for SURE some differences.. we NEED PRELOADERS of OT-991 right now i am uploading all the preloaders i got.. please everyone who have this phone upload preloaders.

@gp.triple this way, open ADB SHELL

sad news.

[/COLOR]How to fix _backup files. (or files you got from adb shell by doing cut) (you need a hex editor to fix those files from a backup)

1. uboot.img file must start with somethin like: " ...XΈ...UBOOT " usualy is ok from address 0, and must end with HEX code: "E2 01" strip the remaining FF with a hex editor and save the file.

2. preloader.img file must start with an ASCII: "MMM.8" HEX: "4D 4D 4D 01 38" strip all everything else behind this line.. now go to bottom of the file and strip all the remaining FFFFFF's

this is the only modification, also DSP_BL needs some modification but every DSP_BL is the same for all phones, PRO_INFO is fine from all backups.

You need to flash those 2 files from a backup, along with LOGO, boot, (use boot.img from internet) backedup boot seems 3MB longer, but anywayz OT-UPGRADE will flash boot anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

so eveery model needs almost its own exclusive preloader.img, the model name is on the sticker behind the battery:

eg: 991D-2AALGR1 (also you can find model inside the pro_info file)

So.. i will upload 3 sets of preloader+info writing from which model they come from. and anybody else who would like to help can do the same.

Very importand Flashing OT-991 works right only with SP Flash Tool V3.1216.05 never tried higher.. but anything lower seems to cause trouble

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
Ok i fixed your preloader, and i included in the post #81. (we should split this topic i guess) thank you very much!!!

Note 2: All the 991D-2AAL are Also N. G3G so i guess the N. doesn't matter, preloaders are the right for all 2AAL, we have already 3 x N. G3G - 991D-2AAL i just include all the three of them due the fact they have different MD5 checksum.. maybe it is just because of the language since all 3 of 2AAL we have they have a unique language.

In post #81 i explain how to edit pro_info to include your language in your firmware if u dont find it inside the 7z, (someone already did it and it worked).

Now we are still missing of 991X-2ARG / N F3B for our friend, so please people keep uploading preloaders.

Sad news, your preloader didn't work for him.. so i wondered if there is a difference between the same modules and i opened in hex editor 2 preloaders of the same model:

1. 991D-2AALDE1 (German) (N G3G) ,

2. 991D-2AALGR1 (Greek) (N G3G)

Both are N G3G i found out this. they are exact the same files in every part they have, except in the address: 000002B0 they have a small change.. which makes me wonder what does this small change means.

1. A9 8A 7A 00 A4 FF A3 F6 90 CE F6 D4 D7 1C 6D EA

2. 09 AD 03 C9 B7 89 46 C9 AB 39 94 C4 A1 1A 7B 76

just only this line change to 1 to 2 file.. is there any posibility this to be a 'serial number' or 'hardware ID' check? and if it is.. how to generate a new one? the pro_info files that are containing the codes from the device extracted are included for anyone who can do a futher investigation and find out what this small change in preloaders means.. and how we can create a working preloader.

PS. I think its not a hardware check or something.. because 991D-2AALIT1 also G3G have other parts changed as well.. the footer of the file is significantly different so... i guess.... we keep looking for more preloaders from all hardware sets..

Need Spanish trough Alcatel Upgrade 991-D

Hi guys! I need some help ( if its possible) ,

I have a rooted OT-991 D, and everytime that I flash & unbrick the phone, I connect it to the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade (2.7.0) in order to flash it and get back it to his original state, everything works after the process, except the languages of the phone...

In Android Menu i get Deutsch, English, Romanian, Russian, etc..... except Spanish ! ( it was the original language of my rom before it bricked for the first time !! ).

So what can I do to get again the spanish language through the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade ????

Thank you very much for your help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
@IvanX9 Why you dont read my post? you can edit your pro_info.img and change the lange to look like this: 991X-2IRGES3 or you can download unbrick.7z and flash pro_info file from 991X-2IRGES3 (it will have espaniol but maybe it will be a branded firmware and its not dual sim.. so u will loose one sim :P) so better hex edit your own pro_info

1. Get your proinfo

On a rooted phone:

adb shell 'cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 >> /sdcard/pro_info.img'

Take that file from your sdcard, open it with hex editor.

Find the line 991D-NXXXESN

es = Espaniol, it may be EN for english, or RO for romanian, change this to ES and save pro_info

Flash it back to your phone. use alcatel OTU to upgrade.

CWM recovery that backups/restore custpack: Myth busted.

Since you called me "boss" haha.. i've made as a gift a speical CWM 6.0.0.3 recovery that backsup and restores custpack..

Well.. this CWM Recovery, backups also custpack the custpack name will be fakely 'datadata' but it is custpack.. i was about to see if i can compile the whole thing all over again and add to its sources what is nessesary but looking at the source code i found out that it also looks for a 3rd paritition named 'datadata' so instead to waste my miserrable valuable time, i just edited init.rc and fstab to mount custpack as /datadata

I´d tested it. backup works incl. custpack.img in a partition call datadata. but recovery don´t work, an error called md5 mismatch appears!!

i got the luck that i have a recovery made with catdoggy´s modified cwm-installable gulyuk backup/restore files to restore my phone.

congratulations...so many special-experts in this forum! lol...:laugh:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
It restored for me.. dunno why did this for you

PS. md5 mismatch appears!! the recovery generates md5 sums for the files to make sure the image isnt manipulated later.. so i can assume somehow your datadata file got corrupted u should give it a second shot.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

PS. I tested a second time (to make sure i dont give you poops and waste your time) and restored fine again.

I can make a new recovery also that won't use datadata to resture custpack, but instead will try to mount custpack inside system, there is a chance of this to work, but since it worked again (restored custpack fine) i don't really see the reason.

PS 3. If you want to restore only custpack from 'advanced restore' option, you have to also restore /data, so you choose restore data, and restores both, datadata, and data. (means custpack and data)

PS 4. If you wipe data with this, you loose custpack
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] barflyxxl:
I know why the recovery generates md5 sums, but i did a backup and tried to restore it 2 minutes after i made it. there´s no manipulate from a ghost or an alien between ;)

If I plug my S3 into the AC charger the screen auto off does not work. It will stay on even if the screen is locked.

Just a guess and I can't remember if this option exists on the stock firmware as I am running CM but in your settings go to development options and see if there is an option like "stay awake , screen will never sleep when charging" if there is try toggling it a few times and leave it un-ticked
