Hello community!

I'm looking for help to build a Kocaso M1050S compatibility pack for CM10 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1821398).

It should be a recovery based zip mod, but I'm not sure how to build it.

I've downloaded an original firmware from here: dl [dot] dropbox [dot] com/u/22474333/Kocaso_M1050S_Softwinners_Crane-bc1003_ICS_4.0.4_ENG_Build_%2318_Firmware.img and works just fine. Now I'm looking a way of running Christian Troy CM10 port on it. The port works itself, but the touchscreen doesn't responds at all. So seems like I need to apply a correct drivers there. I've unpacked original firmware and included all required files from it (script.fex, complete modules and etc directory, idc and icu, /lib/hw). I guess that is enough to build the patch for it. Here is the smaller archive for these files, so you don't have to download the complete firmware: www [dot] multiupload [dot] nl/A4WUIS15D3

Could somebody please help to build a recovery patch from these files?

EDIT: Oh, and here is the init.sun4i.rc from firmware: pastebin [dot] com/qNguiS75

Couldn't find much on this tablet. I would also like to do the same as you. My wife won this tablet at an arcade and think it would be a pretty decent unit if it didn't run so slow. Did you manage to find anything out? I'm going to look around myself. I've been doing AOKP builds, I might sync up Troys and mess around with it this week.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F8LBooya:
Same here, haven't had time to try and mess with it. I'm going to download a pack and see whats done in there. I'm going to switch into Ubuntu in a few and try and sync with CT's git as well.

I installed CWM 6.0.1.2 using this tutorial :

It seems to work so far. It reads my SD card and I was able to perform a backup. I've done nothing else at all with it yet so i'm not sure if it's really working properly but so far my device is still working fine.

This is a leaked JB build, has been posted here countless times, and isn't news anymore. Note the date on qbking's video (October 22nd). It should also be noted he made the video a few days after the leak was all over here...

The reason you may not have seen the thread is either A) because its not on the front page anymore, B) you're looking in the general forum and not the development forum, or C) the original poster of the leak had his account deleted

I still love my Nexus 7 (I use it in class to look at books) and will keep it for the time being. However, if they made a Galaxy Note 7.0 or 7.7 with specs as good as the Note 2 and at a decent price, I'd throw my Nexus 7 into the rain and cop a Galaxy Note 7 (or 7.7) with the quickness. Yes it would be kind of redundant, but I don't care lol.

Give it a try man, I actually sold my EVO View (Sprint HTC Flyer with 3G+4G) for $150 in September. It took some time, but someone will bite eventually.

As I can see from your other posts you rooted the 997D with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 solution. After that you did the system firmware update and you don't have root anymore?

I also updated the firmware of my 997D through my phone settings/about phone/system updates/check for update and after that I first tried to root my phone with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 utility and it didn't work.

Is there any way to rollback our firmware?

I'll reply to myself: no way, since you need to be rooted in order to dump the stock recovery. Maybe if someone could try to extract the OTA update so we could examine the files and look if the recovery.img is there...

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Ok, I have managed to get something.

Following this tutorial by Bruno Martins (a well known rom cooker who's also a user here) I've been able to dump recovery.img from my Alcatel OT-997D: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html

The tutotial was meant for MT6513 and MT6573 devices, but looks like it works on MT6577 too.

Then, I've used that file with the Clockworkmod recovery builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and now I have another recovery image, which is supposed to be a CWM port for our Alcatel.

I'm still unsure to flash that recovery, since I can't be sure it will work. Mediatek based phones do not have a fastboot mode, so it's impossible to just try a recovery image without actually flashing it. In fastboot mode, you can boot the phone into a custom recovery without actually flashing it, so you risk nothing if it doesn't work

In case someone daring enough wants to try my custom recovery, I've uploaded it to my Mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7232aj7jhg7l4e5

The idea is that, with a working CWM recovery, it should be possible to flash Chainfire's SuperSU root zip and easily root the phone.

Of course I warn you this could ruin the recovery image on your phone, so don't risk doing it if you're not sure.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jman0:
Unlockroot doesn't support this phone yet. We have already tested that. By now, the method mentioned in this post is the only known way to root the 997D.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

Titanium backup doesn't work for apps not installed under /system/app, and that's because it's the standard path for system apps. Alcatel introduced the custpack partition, where they store the apps (specially the ones under the "unremoveable" directory) OTA updates check to see whether the phone can be updated on the go.

BTW, if you haven't gueseed it yet, if you remove anything under /custpack/app/unremoveable/, OTA updates will not work anymore.

Hello

I just got this phone three days ago. I auto-updated to the latest firmware 4.0.4-010001. didn't think of rooting it. But I have the following problem. Every time I mount the card or restart the phone, the custom ringtones are lost and all contact associations. I've read that this can be solved only by adding the mp3 ringtones to system/media folder. Is there anyway to solve this problem without rooting it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kassipopassi:
i dont think so, because if you take a look when the sd-card is mounted, you'll notice, that its pretty late. i think that the system just cant find the custom ringtones right after booting, cause the sd-card is available much later. the only way i found to solve this problem, is to copy the ringtones into the system/media folder.

ps: does anyone have an image-file of the original 4.0.4 alcatel fw? :)
