I thank you for the time you have used to compile the information. i have on little problem, my phone is Alcatel ot918 mix, though wen i did a nandroid back-up the files read "OT_918D_MT6573" which means it uses the OS for OT-918D. In your downloadable ROM files i can not see the OT-918D 2.3.6 which is the appropriate version for my phone. Thanx in advance.

Stock Rom Alcatel "OT918a"

Hello guys, I found a solution to rollback to original stock rom for Alcatel OT918a whit Android Gingerbread 2.3.6

Google translation - Original text in spanish -

Instructions for installing the 2.3.6 ROM base for OneTouch 918A

FIRST STEP

1 - Open the Flashtool.exe, check the "USB Mode" and check the "Backup Restore NVRAM" (ON).

2 - Click the button "Scatter-Loading" and select the "Android_2.3.6_MT6573_Android_scatter_918" which is inside the folder "2.3.6_918A".

3 - Make sure they are labeled the next 3 squares: PRELOADER, DSP_BL and PRO_INFO and have the correct paths

4 - Click on "Download" and connect your phone off, if you do not remove the battery detects a second and try again.

5 - Wait until you see a green circle on the screen, this indicates that the operation was successful.

SECOND STEP

6 - Keep your phone off and open ONE TOUCH UPGRADE (I use the last version 2.8.0), select the "OT 918" or "ONE TOUCH 918" and follow the instructions, I recommend removing the battery one second each time we install any file using flash as sometimes the Bootloader is freez and this prevents the PC be found or what flash properly.

7 - Once finished turn on the phone and wait until the setup menu appears, if the scream is locked more than expected (about 3 minutes) remove the battery and turn it back on, if it takes about 5 minutes to leave because it delays first time.

Thanks to Leonardo Lynx and Victor Manuel

This procedure worked for me, hope you find it useful. :laugh:

**Update: Added TELCEL baseROM whit led blinking from factory ROM!!!! :) The same procedure!!!

Enjoy it!!!!!!

guys, i'm trying to reinstall an ot-918 device, with luck, but now the sim doesn't work (I have an network issue). what can I do?

Us ot 918 mix

Anyone in US got theirs customized?

I got it to root using this method.

I am yet to find the correct ROM that works.

I have tried ICS 2.3.6 v4 final and ICS 2.3.6 v5 by mark

Installed was success but does not boot all the way.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NautTboy:
So I have the USA 918 Mix, which is 918S.

I tried to push the 3 files and got an error. see pic. If I remove check mark from pro-info, no error.

So let me understand correctly. Pushing these 3 files makes the phone stock and bootablel?

I'd tried all those zip images and it's for 918n and doesn't seem to work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NautTboy:
Finally

After trials and errors, I finally got my USA TMO/iWIRELESS up and working.

I'd tried the method above and it did not work for me. Maybe it's the mix and match of ROMS and Recovery Loader.

The recovery that work for me was:

Alcatel OT 918D Recovery

The Roms that works was:

ICS 2.3.6 V4 no keyboard.

Update V5 no touch screen

ICS 2.3.6 V5 works with some issue. I'm not getting 3g/4g. Search only to find 2g's.

could it be because it's program to use 2 SIMs(international), US only use one SIM.

Search only shows up a lot on RIL radio stuff, more for HTC. So anyone has idea please share.

Camera Patch from 5mp to 8mp is awesome, but when compare couldn't tell different on resolution. 5pm is probably it's CMOS. 8mp is probably..... what's the word... repolated? Something like that.

More feature, no more annoying clicking sound, you can't get rid of.

Original is OT 918 MIX, if you open up the battery, you'll see it says OT 918S.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NautTboy:
Which version do you have? If you have the mix(S) version back up, could you share? I didn't save mine and install the D version. Now, i'm not getting 4g.

Or anyone with 1 sim ROM would be great.

NOW MY PART

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

PLEASE NOTE THAT MY PHONE IS OT-918D

I didn't even know what was the imei of the phone was or the phone model but used SP-FLASH tool with many different versions of scatter files untill I came across the one that was used for installing recovery on ot-918 from a different website.

I even got to the point that the phone wouldn't come on after trying different models of the 918, but luckily usb worked.

WHAT YOU NEED

SP_Flash_Tool

One Touch Upgrade from Alcatel site

Scatter Files in the zip file below.

FILES TO USE ON THE SP-FLASH TOOL:

MT6573_Android_scatter_2_3_5_OT_918.txt

AND TICK THIS FILES :

dsp_bl

preloader

pro_info

NOTE: sometimes you have to press and hold the center button for the phone to be detected in order to accomplish the above procedure. Just make sure you remove the battery each time you try..

Then open the Alcatel Upgrade tool , this time it won't tell you that your phone is already up-todate. then proceed with the upgrade.

MAKE SURE YOU USE A LOWER ANDROID VERSION E.G 2.3.5 SCATTER FILE OR ELSE YOU ALCATE UPGRADE WILL SAY PHONE ALREADY UP TO DATE.

This applies to even a phone that won't come on(Mine was dead and couldnt come on only charging, and after fixing it, I discover that I had spoiled the display fiber since the phone was not displaying anything.)

Unfortunately I had to do the whole thing from a dead screen after pulling it apart prior to unbricking it.

You can find your serial number and phone model in the Alcatel upgrade file called otus_log.txt

Incase mine was in C:\ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0\otus_log

I think that this method might work on all Alcate MT65XX Phones.

But now that the phone works I have to get a new display. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kenkitt:
918 Is dual sim ?

After puling apart my phone which I have always assumed to be single sim(This apparently caused alot of confusion as to which Rom to use), I realize a second Sim card slot right beneath the top slot although it's hidden and not accessible if you replace the chasis , so you guys might want to try a possible second simcard for you 918 phones, that I suppose is the reason why some guys could install dual sim roms and fail to access fast speed since it's using the secondary sim card, I haven't tested it since I have not acquired the screen yet.
