I agree. I did notice a change after flashing the new ROM and running some battery calibration apps to re-calibrate the battery.

And also, since power banks nowadays are getting cheaper and smaller in size, it won't hurt to have one in your bag just in case.

Dears,

really appreciate the work you have done here its amazing i installed the 4.1.1 rom by the TWRP method but i cant seem to restore my phone to the original 4.0.4 which came on the phone. one more thing i accidently lost the backup i did before installing the jelly bean rom.

i tried connecting the phone to One touch upgrade tool but the tool keeps crashing after i connect the phone and it starts downloading the files .

so can you please help me

Hi, after a lot of hard work I have successfully unbrick this phone, installed jelly bean and everything seems to be working fine so far except the NVRAM region; recovery still can't mount onto mobile_info also. WIFI reports "nvram warning err = 0x10" in settings even though it can still connect to other hotspots and bluetooth is malfunctional (its address is all zeros and is not visible to other devices; it can find other devices but it can't connect to them).Compass sensor is also malfunctional and I'm not sure whether gps or any other component is affected.:confused: Research on the internet and other threads helped temporarily. I was capable of extracting the WIFI file in /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB folder, edit the mac address(which was all zeros) with HxD hex editor by entering the one in custpack/jrd clustres/wlan/nvram.txt, paste the file back again, turn on wifi in settings and viola the error was gone. I did the same with bluetooth file and bluetooth worked as it should.:) Unfortunately, all these changes always get undone after reboot.:( My guess is file and folder permissions. I think OTU could have helped but it gives a 'com0 download image error - error code 3153' after clicking upgrade button of which my guess is either the image is not available in the server in the region I'm in or my phone's internals are too corrupt to accept it.:confused:

1. Does anyone know of any permissions that could work?

2. Can someone please upload their own nvram folder so I could do a comparison of any other files that may be defective?

3. Is there a way I could create a flashable zip of nvram partition(I used mtkdroid tools backup feature after checking"backup userdata and cache" box which did a good job at creating the zip but the files inside it were still defective and so flashing it didn't fix a thing. Can someone please upload their backup just incase the above two possible solutions fail to work?

4. I would highly appreciate any other assistance.

does anyone used lmt launcher and hide the keys in the jb update 02002 or 02001? after following the instruction step by step I was successfully upgraded to jb but the problem is unlike on ics, jb update has many flaws. I cannot change the dpi on my phone because when I try to change. when i installed new app after rebooting the phone, bootloop. =(

does anyone knows how to fix this? i am stuck in these problem whole night.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m-blade:
To change the dpi, edit build.prop in /custpack. That's the only way and I learnt it the hard way.....

Then in root explorer change the permissions to 644

This might be problematic to some apps namely, phone, phone storage, contacts, and contacts storage. For this download xposed installer and app settings.

Enjoy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulkun:
did you try that procedure with the jelly bean update from here? because when i try to edit the keys to be hide in build.prop, when i try to reboot my phone it wont start up. it will end in just in the logo of one touch. i waited for 30 minutes but it does nothing. bootloop.

That's it. There are two similar models in the list, OT997 and Alcatel One Touch 997. The latter is the right one, but you don't have to worry, since it's impossible to choose the wrong one. If you do so, the upgrade won't take place, since the app verifies the phone model, and complains if it's not correct.

I was successful at rooting my phone using MTKdroidTolls_229 tool that was linked in previous posts, and I´m thankful to the poster for it, but after exploring my phone, after rooting procedure, I stumbled upon something that I think should be mentioned. Beside installing Superuser and RootExplorer I found that MTKdroidTools instaled Mobileuncle Tools application on my phone. After launching it, I found out that it is used to reboot phone in various modes (recovery, etc...), but when I inspected it´s authorisations I noticed something interesting. Besides the usual authorisations: internet acces, modifying Sd card content, I found out several unusual ones like taking pictures, and potentially the most harmful one - to directly call phone numbers. I would not want to sound paranoid, but I think that this is potentially harmful, and can be used in a manner to extort money from users who installed it, by calling international numbers with calling fees, without their knowledge. I immediately disabled the application, and I´m looking for an explanation for this. Is it safe to leave it running?
