Here is a strange thing. Under the battery it says "997D", but on ICS 4.0.4 it shows 998 :))

If I try to upgrade to 4.1.1 using OTU, it just reflashes 4.0.4. I rooted and restored 4.1.1 backup posted around here, version 02001 - after that, I tried using OTU again, maybe it updates to 4.1.1 v02002 but it flashes 4.0.4, and shows 998 at phone model.

Why would that happen? :))

997d broken EBR

Hi guys, I'm desperate and I hope someone can help me ... basically I created a monstrous mess trying to increase the internal partition on my alcatel 997d which should fit a MT6577.. the steps i've done are these:

1) installation of Mt657x Repartition Tool on my rooted phone and selected "2GB" as option (since i didn't have a recovery I could not backup my old system) ..

result: boot freezed, it didn't reach the boot animation.

2) so i've flashed the TWRP recovery and in its logs i can read: "unable to mount /EMMC + unable to mount /mobile_info ..." so I've tried to download several backups of the original ROM restoring it with the recovery.

result: the system loads but hangs in a endless bootloop and recovery continues to report me "unable to mount /EMMC + unable to mount /mobile_info ..."

Now, before doing other mistakes... could someone tell me if there is a way to escape from this hell? : /

A small clarification: the flash_tool is unusable since the driver preloader comes off after 2 seconds and it is a defect that many people have with mediatek chips and especially with this model phone ... I did barely install the recovery in that time it is connected.

So if someone can give me instructions through the recovery or can send me the original EBR1/EBR2, that would be great!

Thanks in advance.

Hello Alanon,

thanks for the information! I thought everyone has stopped working on our phone.

Can you speak russian?

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

Has anyone tested the roms yet?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alanon:
Yes, I speak Russian, if you need help navigating the menus or something, I'm game. Besides a few Russian guys on the previously mentioned forum, I am currently using the 4.2.2 rom as my regular day to day OS on my phone. That's why I decided to post it here, because it works very well. It's been running on my phone for about a week, it's very stable, after flashing it and replacing the vold.fstab file, I restored most of my programs through Titanium Backup, and the data that was on the card was preserved. After that one hour job, I just kept using the phone as I did with stock 4.1.1, no problems, and all the benefits. I have since changed the launcher and a good bit of the interface, but if you like, I could post some screenshots?

The MIUI ROM I haven't tested, and few people have, due to somewhat bigger bugs, and an already good 4.2.2 ROM (as far as I could figure out). The ROM does boot for most people, the cards reportedly work, as does WiFi to some extent. It does need better testing, though. The member who ported it did all he could think of to fix he bugs I listed, but couldn't. No one could be found that was willing to continue the work, so the project sort of died out. I placed it here in the hopes that someone with skills would like to play with it. I didn't get the general impression from the Russians that the ROM is really usable, so I would advise caution. If anyone would like to experiment, I think everyone would appreciate some screenshots of the MIUI ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hummel95:
Okay, that's good to know and thanks for the offer.

I'l love to use the 4.2 rom as well but the not working notification-LED is a no go for me.

Do you think you could ask the russian developers to have a go at porting the 4.4 rom from the Micromax A110 device?

From what I've read the rom runs on many other devices without many changes.

Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alanon:
[MENTION=5357561]hummel95[/MENTION]: Posted the question, we'll see if there's a response. If the LED is a no go, and you don't use GPS very much, you could try the MIUI? You would need to backup everything first and prepare yourself for failure, but no-one mentioned a non-functioning LED with that ROM. Of course it would be best if some XDA Alcatel user is skilled enough to modify these files. :(

Well, do you think we should try the a110 kitkat rom? It seems to work on quite a few clones and the phones tshare the same chipset, don't they. So it might be worth a shot.

When we are going to port a KitKat rom, I think we should focus on the ZTE V970 or Newman N1 build as it shares the same combo chip ( 6620 ).

The A110 build uses the 6628 combo chip ( See here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57706159&postcount=3071 ).

By the way: On the mediatek site ( http://www.mediatek.com/en/products/connectivity/wifi/mobile-handset/mt6620/ ) it says the chip supports 5 GHz Wifi. I can't find my 5 GHz wifi, does it work for any of you?

I'm still following the latest developements of Superdragonpt and co's KitKat rom and I am still very impressed by their success.

But in the end it doesn't look like we are getting a functional KitKat rom at all like some people were already saying.

I think the problem is not a small community but just a lack of active developers as most developers decided to change phones :p

Probably the best thing to do is to try finding some developers who are willing to help us out here. (and are capable of developing on Mediatek devices :eek: )

As an argument:

An advantage if a developer chooses to help us out is that his work is unlikey to get stolen (rereleased with giving no credits) as hardly anyone from our community is capable of porting ;) .

Hello folks,

just to let you know:

I decided to factory reset my phone (because it became slower and I had storage problems...).

To fix the storage problem I tried an app which was supposed to increase the partition size of the system partition and decrease the size of the other.

Well, it did not work and I couldn't even factory reset my phone.

Next thing I tried just out of curiosity was to install Superdragonpt's ZTE 970V build which didn't boot (Was worth a shot).

So I'll use the Alcatel tool to factory reset my phone probably.

Any updates on your side?

I think I might actually get me another phone sooner or later...

Thanks everybody for the information/communication and especially the people who brought the MTK droid Tolls 229.

Just my personal experience:

rooted my OT 997D (version vB5P ) with the tool, but only under the Ubuntu's 'wine'. Somehow the program (MTKdroidTuils.exe) did not recognize the device neither in vista 7 nor in XP. And before launching in wine the device was done recognizable for linux'es adb by editing udev's config files (I did not try to run mtktools with wine before that, so not sure if the udev's config was important here - maybe yes)

Who can tell that, Is there any driver (installation necessary) to make that 'visible' in windoze? (Looks like I do not need that already :) , but asking mostly of curiosity... and, maybe, for somebody else :) )
