[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Without the unlocked bootloader, you cannot root JB directly. That may have been what you heard. However, you can get JB rooted indirectly.

The process is pretty simple, if time consuming. basically, you need to downgrade to the last ICS build, root, 'protect' root using Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, then update to JB and finally restore root using the same rootkeeper app.

There is a complete guide here in the forums, Let me find it and I'll link it.

Hi one more Alcatel OT 985 in need of root

pls help
[Android General] giuaig:
expert in bootimg.img wanted

Successfully rooted my OT-985 !!

Finally I can see # in the adb shell ;)

1) Followed instructions at bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html to make a backup of my NAND partitions

2) Used a perl script to unpack/repack boot image and changed ro.secure=0 in default.prop (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587411)

3) Flashed modified bootimg.img following instructions at bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.in/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html to flash back my modified bootimg

X) Discovering my new just modified boot image doesn't work, see phone blocked at android logo, try to flash the backup previously generated, see phone blocked at android logo again...

Y) Flash boot image from unknow source www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni6P94A-PcY and see my phone boot again as it should and finally see id=0 after a couple of weeks googling and testing and going crazy due to a stupid OS (Win) and it's drivers

So, now my phone it's rooted but i'd like to know from someone expert why my original bootimg backup doesn't work, I can unpack it and see all files and directory so I think image isn't corrupted.

Surely my backup image and the one from youtube video I flashed are different in size, but I can flash the last one using my scatter original file and not the one provided in youtube link.

It could be good if someone else take a backup of it's 985 nand and specifically BOOTIMG so i can compare to mine. Better if italian and TIM branded.

To all noob: i'm not a developer so don't start to ask ROM, simply I don't know where to put my hands for it ;)

--edit--

i forgot to mention how to connect our OT-985 to SP Flash Tool, once drivers are working, disconnect usb cable from computer and pull away battery from phone, after you click "Download/Read Back" button you have 15 seconds to connect usb cable first and immediately after put back the battery in the phone, if all it's ok you'll see a yellow bottom bar

--edit--

i found that CWM doesn't backup /custpack partition and i have yet to learning how to integrate directly in CWM. Custpack is present in all Alcatel phone and used to store system apps.

Actually you can do a backup by giving "dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd13 of=/sdcard/custpack.img bs=4096" in a root shell

[Android General] giuaig:
Sorry, actually there isn't an easier way for rooting and i don't think in the future will be more noob friendly

Just try to follow youtube link for needed files and my pseudo-instructions and eventually come back here to say at which stage you are blocked.

Basically you need:

- connect phone to pc, if you are able to run Alcatel OT Upgrade this step is already done

- do a BACKUP for ALL nand partitions using SP Flash Tool bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html

- flash a new boot image using file provided by Serbian guy in youtube video [youtube.com/watch?v=Ni6P94A-PcY]

- flash a new recovery using CWMR i provided at #4 post

Keep in mind we are at an early stage yet with OT985 so it's very important to do a good BACKUP expecially with /custpack partition!

Basic instructions are posted above in the #7 post.

#ITA

Ciao, attenzione al regolamento che dice di scrivere solo in inglese! ;)

Per il rooting,

- devi prima collegare il telefono al pc ed assicurarti che i driver (se usi win) funzionino a dovere, di solito installando "Alcatel OT Upgrade" e l' "Alcatel Android Manager" direttamente dal sito dell'alcatel risolvi questo passaggio

- fare un BACKUP di TUTTE le partizioni esistenti sul telefono (compresa /custpack) utilizzando SP Flash Tool [bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html]

- fare il flash dell'immagine di boot utilizzando il file boot985root.img che trovi nel video youtube del ragazzo Serbo [youtube.com/watch?v=Ni6P94A-PcY]

- A questo punto il telefono e' rootato, manca ancora la CWM recovery che puoi scaricare nel mio post #4 e flashare utilizzando sempre SP Flash Tool

Questi a grandi linee sono i passaggi, e' importante capire come si usa e a cosa serve SP Flash Tool, ti consiglio di fare esperienza con il backup (fanne anche piu' di uno) seguendo il link che ti ho messo al secondo passaggio.

Se hai problemi scrivi in questo thread dove sei bloccato o cosa non capisci di questi passaggi.

And for those who do not know:

Extension (.tar.xz)

==============

7-zip is a nice, easy GUI that can let you extract. Xz (and many other) archives.

XZ files are not associated by default, so after installing 7-zip, right-click your. Xz file and select 7-Zip> Open archive Then you can double-click the. Heading in that file to see the files. You can then open it directly or since it is so big, it would be better to extract the files somewhere first.

As for ExtractNow, yes it does have xz files in its list of supported audio formats. If you already have installed ExtractNow and are familiar with it, then you could certainly use that.

Thanks again !!! Greetz

Thanks for this useful thread. My OT985 is full of bloatware preinstalled by an Italian Carrier: the internal available memory is so little that it's impossible to even update Google apps (Gmail, G+, etc.).

[Android General] :
Well, it's not that easy as everybody is saying, at least not for me. I've tried 4 methods for backuping my ROM and I get the so important boot.img and system.img files, with other methods I can obtain other 13 IMG files. I use my firmware.info file to generate the scatter file, launch SP Flash Tool and open this scatter file and try to flash the IMG files in the correct place. It won't work! The problems I see here are:

1) The /custpack folder or partition or whatever it is. Here are some problems because if you don't modify the backup23 script by red_uh to create another IMG file, thiis method won't backup /custpack.

2) Even if you backup /custpack partition or folder modifying the backup23 script or using th SP Flash Tool read back option, the scatter file previously created won't load the NAME where you want to put custpack, it loads BOOT, RECOVERY and ANDROID (where you're supossed to put system.img) but no CUSTPACK.

3) OK, you don't mess with custpack nor custpack apk files. You keep those files as they are because you can use link2sd later with every single one. Well, I can flash BOOT and RECOVERY already, but I can't flash system.img because when I'm trying to do it I get the EBOOT ERROR 10001 and as a HINT I get "" (nothing!)
[Android General] :
Yes, that's one way to make a backup. Question is: Is this IMG file flashable via SP Flash tool?

EDIT (may 22): I tried to flash this zip file to restore custpack with no success but at least when I restored system and apply this ZIP I can get thru the logo android and it makes possible to use ADB interface, nevertheless I still hacen't found a trusty way to restore my cellphone other than using One Touch Upgrade or not to touch custpack partition (even not freeze custpack apps) and restore system through SPFlashTool.

I've been making some research and seems to be that this cellphone is fairly popular in Eastern Europe and is known as Telenor One Touch C in Hungary. Some folks have been working several months on this model and their findings are here: http://prohardver.hu/tema/re_alcatel_ot-985_olcso_alternativa/hsz_1651-1700.html, the problem is I only understand what google can roughly translate. From that thread I extracted this page... I don't know how similar is their ROM compared with OT985's. Is anybody interested in this cellphone?

[Android General] :
Flash this recovery.img by giuaig with SPFT using the same scatter file so you can have CWM enabled and boot into recovery with both Vol+ and Power button, do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, try to boot again to see if it works or try with the files for the Telenor. The problem is always the shi+y custpack partition so if you get it back don't mess with it. Have you tried restoring with One Touch Upgrade S 2.8?

Alright, we need more info, please. What did you flash with SPFT? What else have you done with your phone. BTW, I managed to install the hungarian ROM posted tsome messages above. So far it's working fine, but first we need to get CWM recovery to work. I can upload other IMG files obtained vy other methods to flash with SPFT, but you need to be more specific about what you've tried to do with your phone and what you can do with it or tell me where you can get in boot process. First of all, SPFT needs to have the appropriate drivers to work, you can start checking if your drivers are installed, maybe uninstall your drivers an reinstall using PDAnet or One Touch Upgrade S.

Good luck and be patient, they say this mt6573 phones are almost unbrickable whenever yo haven't flashed a bootloader!
