My phone, also bought from Germany, was not updating via OTA, due to my system being extensively changed by me. I've just downloaded the latest Alcatel Onetouch Upgrade program (v. 2.7.3) and now my phone is correctly updated to vBF7-0. After rooting again, using MTK Droid Tools, I've just restored the data part of my latest nandroid backup, and now I have the phone fully working again. I still have to setup a few things, such as ringtones, but it's working fine. And the compass bug has been fixed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyhound:
Not for me... Compass does not work at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbisz41:
I have a compass applications, but it does not work.

The application GPStest seems that the compass shows well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyhound:
I've tried few of other compass apps from GPlay, did the calibration, but it's still the same. Compass shows the same thing no matter which way I turn the phone.

I've tried some metal detector app and it just got stuck at 999 µT...

I use several applications to GPS, there is a compass and running.

Also, magnetic field meter shows something, but it is difficult to determine what kind of work..

Maybe you have a hardware problem?

flash your phone with one touch update. Do a backup, since you will loose all your data on internal memory.

How do you flash the Suspersu update ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysnic:
Root:

In order to root your phone follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046865

1: Install one touch upgrade and mtk droid tools on your PC, launch mtk droid

2: Be sure "USB Debug Mode" is enable on your phone

3: turn Off your phone

4: turn On your phone by pressing: vol down + power

5: when your arrive in the factory mode, mtk droid should see your phone on the PC

6: press Root on mtk droid

7: Say NO to first question ( backup...), and YES to the second (instal superuser...)

8: when operation is finished, perhaps the phone will take a long time to restart, after a few minute you need to remove your battery

9: in order to restart correctly, reboot in recovery mode:

power ON + vol UP, and do a WIPE factory reset.

And reboot, so now you should be root.

After you can replace Mobileuncle by the lastest version. Instal the recory on your SD and flash it, Backup...

Full screen:

Before try the following advice, be sure that all functions of LMT or button savior work (back, home,...).

For me it didn't work until I replaced SuperUser by SuperSu.

In order to hid softkeys, You can use differents applications, like: HID bar, GMD gesture... But I don't like it because it always remove your deskop or hide the top and bottom bar or others bugs.

Me I use this one, but read till the end:

Full screen toggle:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1497558

After disable nav bar, you need to restart your phone.

But It's little bite more difficult, because the app doesn't restore the softkeys bar.

In order to retrieve the bar, I use ES explorer with root permission.

I go in system folder, and I modify build.prop.

You juste need to write directly on the phone:

qmenu.hw.mainkeys=0

Save in ES explorer, reboot, the bar reappears.

After you go to the same file and add:

##qmenu.hw.mainkeys=0

Next time you want to restore the bar just delete ##.

enjoy the full screen!!!

Futur update will normaly work if you use One touch Upgrade on PC.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draboeyad:
i have successfuly rooted my mobile , and now i want to apply full screen and apply LMT launcher!!!!!!!

1-should i remove superuser and replase it with supersu??

i have downloaded supersu from the google play but i cant find superuser to remove ??? it's not present in apps

2- should i download fullscreen toggle .apk and then by ES explorer modify build.prop ??

i just want a reversible way to remove and recover navigation bar :confused: Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysnic:
1: First try to install LMT, and test the "back" button (very important).

If it works you doesn't need to instal SuperSu

If it' doesn't work, download and install Supersu and test. After you can uninstall "SuperUser" with MobileUncle or Root Uninstaller (avaible on play store)

2: you can dowload fullscreen toggle .apk here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497558

I use V2

Fullscreen toggle it's just for hide the softkey bar

And install Es explore in order to restore the bar, perhaps you need to enable root permission in menu option.

If something goes wrong, you restore all your system by one touch upgrade on your computer. but I don't think so.

I know it's long, but I found only this solution and it's work, so let's go...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draboeyad:
i installed lmt launcher .but full screen toggle not work even after restart
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogamycool:
you need to install superuser.zip instead of supersu by cwr.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuweng:
YW, my friend... ;)

AFAIK, Nvram contain your IMEI info & uboot contain your camera driver... For some MT65xx, installing custom ROMs will erase these info so many has experience lost of camera function & invalid IMEI issues...

Thanks to Russian Master Shifu Javum foresight, he has compile TWRP to include these extra features...

As for Alcatel, he has compile it to include /custpack & /mobile_info partition so my best guess is that without it, it will not do a proper backup & restore so just put a check mark on everything & it will never go wrong...

Hi everyone,

I've been using this phone for 2 month; I'm french and there's not a lot of owners in my country. Well, I think I'm gonna go root, as I used to have a Goggle Nexus S, I'm quite familiar with this kind kind of procedure and with changing / flashing ROMs.

I saw that the 995 users were able to install CM10; is it possible on the 997, since they are pretty close in terms of hardware ?

We'll probably never see JellyBean on our phone so it's the only way to have this major update and provide our phones a longer life

thanks and sorry if you have already discussed about this

Hi

a small question about change ROM,

I want to try but I've never done.

if I load the rom that you put link and my phone doesn't works correctly, everything will be as before if I reload a nandroid backup that I did before in cwm (dual sim, wifi,...)?

:confused:

I have just this phone, so I don't want to loose it...

If it's safe with a backup, I'm ready to try it!!!

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxAndroided:
Hi... the first you need is root and TWRP

For TWRP look there -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38554232&postcount=374

And next step ist to make a backup of all your settings and apps to the externel sd card.

Use Titanium Backup or Go Backup !!! Because you will loos all your data !!!

And than make nandroid backup with TWRP !!!! Not CWM!!! you need the

/custpack

backup!!! verry important!!!

check

all

options!!! to prevent loosing your IMEI

If you got some trouble withe this custom ROM, you can simply move back to your old system ...

Backup and restore working 100% Not like CWM :D

--- btw ---

I´m working on my first own custom ROM. :cowboy:

Hope it will be ready soon ...

I have some trouble with compilng the system-res.apk :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysnic:
Okay,

TWPR is installed and work fine

I have 3 Nandroid backup:

-1 with cwm: full

-1 with twrp: all options check

-1 with twrp: only custpack, system, recovery

I backup all my data and app with titanum backup

But now... before try to load the custom rom, I want to be sure, can you chek my procedure please?

-reboot in recovery mode (with Mobiluncle for example)

-wipe factory reset, after wipe cache, after wipe dalvik

- go in "install menu" and choose the file previously downloaded from the forum: alcatel-OT-997D-1.zip

-reboot

After I don't know exactly what to do:

-reload my gmail and play store account

-re-install titanium backup and load all data and app previously saved

-does I need to reload my custpack?

-I missed something?

If my firmware version is different: vBF7-0 than the custom rom, is it a problem?

Thanks

unpack the attached "updater-script.zip" to your desktop...

Open the "alcatel-OT-997D-1.zip" with winrar or 7zip

copy/past "updater-script" to:

---> alcatel-OT-997D-1.zip/META-INF/com/google/android/

overwrite the old one :)

The issue was caused by this two lines

symlink("/system/lib/modules/p2p_mt6620.ko", "/system/lib/modules/p2p.ko");
symlink("/system/lib/modules/wlan_mt6620.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");

I tried to add "wake_dropped" on volumes keys, but after reboot, the phone stay on CyanogenMod screen.

First, I changed all files in /system/usr/keylayout/, where I can find with ES explorer:

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN

key 115 VOLUME_UP

in order to add :

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE_DROPPED

After I reboot in recovery menu

on adb terminal:

-adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar

-java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ android.policy.jar

in the file "KeyguardViewMediator.smali"

at. "isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing private method (IZ) Z"

I deleted the 2 following lines

0x18 ->: sswitch_4

0x19 ->: sswitch_4

Save file

on adb terminal:

- java -jar smali.jar classout -o android.policy.jar

-adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/
