Yesterday I made the ugprade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 using Alcatel Flash Tool. The tool installed the latest 4.1.1 02002 version of the firmware. I could't make it through OTA.

With Titanium Backup PRO I recovered the applications and files such as Viber, Wechat, contacts, sms/mms, call logs and etc with no issues.

I think the device looks better with Jelly Bean and it's faster.

I have kuano´s 4.1.1 recovery installed via TWRP as instructed in the posts from couple of months ago. Now I´m getting a system update message, but when I download it and start instalation, it reboots into TWRP but the update is not installed. I have located the update file in sdcard0\downloaded\update.zip folder, it is about 4,45Mb so that checks out. My question is: do I install it with TWRP- Install and select update.zip or there is another method?

There is NOTHING from the 2nd sim, no coverage, no network, no calls (check the first 2 attached screenshots)

I cannot make a simple basic phone call (check the 3rd attached screenshot)

The device just reckognizes the name of the operator and that's it, nothing else works (no phone calls, I don't even want 3G or 2G or even 1G from the 2nd sim, I just want to make calls)

Problems on an italian 997d phone after TWRP restore

Hi all,

I installed the TWRP backup on an italian 997d terminal, wiped, made factory reset, configured with my account, and it looks fine, with many bugs fixed and better usability.

However, I am hitting two problems.

1 - if I charge the battery when the phone is turned off, I can no more see the percentage of charge

2 - large lags for some application installed by me: as an example, Ghost Commander starts almost immediately, but about 20 seconds are needed to view the first listing; as another example, K9Mail needs 2-3 seconds to switch between accounts/folders (it did not happen with 4.0.4)

Any thoughts/suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuano:
If you have problems with the charging screen, I think you have to install 4.1.1 with One Touch Upgrade S. This fixes the problem. As it does also work with the TWRP Backup afterwards, I can't figure, my backup being faulty.

Alas, I am in Italy and One Touch Upgrade 2.8.0 installed 4.0.4 :( that's why I subsequently upgraded to 4.1.1 using your TWRP backup.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giant Robot:
First off, I registered to say thank you Kuano for your contribution. I used your TWRP backup, worked great and was very easy to do. I had OT-997 on 4.0.4 and now it's OT-997D on 4.1. I can confirm that in my case two SIM cards are working perfectly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marco.pratesi:
JB update roll out in Italy => charge level issue solved

Yesterday I tried using One Touch Upgrade S 2.8.0 again: now it installs the 4.1.1 version.

However, alas, it still installs the 02001 build.

Hence, after installation, I rooted through framaroot, installed TWRP, and restored again the TWRP Backup of 4.1.1 02002 provided by kuano.

Now, if I turn off the phone and charge it, I can see the animation showing the current amount of battery charge.

At the end of charging, the notification led turns off.

BTW, I also customized some settings in engineering mode, to fix the SMS notification volume level and to increase some volume levels.

It seems rather usable now.

Thank you!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadMav88:
I got the same issue just after the update from ics to JB. Solved by a factory reset and a clean restore (made a backup with Titanium backup before the reset). I think that the update messed up something in the processes, so there were a lot of processes working in background (and many of these stopped working).

For now my battery drain it's very good. I can get 40% of battery in the evening, about 7pm. It's not bad, is it?

Oh and apart from unrooting your device afterwards, you can edit the updater script from the OTA to install manually within the recovery menu.

Hi to all,

I've an issue with my not rooted alcatel 997d with jb.

Some days ago it has started to have a very low level of the ear speaker so the only way to listen to a phone call is to use the earphones or to activate the hands free option.

I've already tried to restore to the original setting both using the phone option (backup and restore menu) and using the alcatel upgrade tool, with no success.

So now I would try to gain root rights which maybe can help me in solving this issue which I suppose is a software related one (the volume is very low but it is present so it seems more a misconfigured ear speaker instead of a broken one).

Can you please help me?

Thank you,
