ok,thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adi.v:
very good news....does it have ext2 support? or can we install scripts to increase internal memory space and have better ram management?

thx again :) :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gradu2012:
yes,you can install scripts,but if you can wait,this days i will upload it again with ext2.;)

I get this error :

E:signature verification failed.

The phone is rooted and installed Clockworkmood.

Thanx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gradu2012:
It's because signature check is "Enabled".You have to boot into clockworkmood then choose "Install zip from sdcard",then "Toggle signature verification".After choosing this,you will see a message"Signature check: Disabled".Now you can choose zip from sdcard and install it.Enjoy it!;)

Is it also for OT991D with dual sim? If not, can you change it?

Why there are in any custom Rom differences, because if i look at the Alcatel-Upgrade-Tool (OTA), there is only ONE download for BOTH versions, 991 and 991D ?????

Oh...and how can i change the integrated Holo-Launcher with Go launcher? With normal installation (theni have two launchers) the phone is mega slowly :crying:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gradu2012:
"Is it also for OT991D with dual sim? "-some days ago i already answered to this question and i said i'm still working on it(in fact the problem is that i'm working and this days i didn't have to much time),but don't worry,i will do it.

As for changing Holo Launcher with Go Launcher,i don't know if it's a good ideea(it "eats" a lot of memory),but if you really want to do it,here are the steps:

1.Firstly,you need link2sd installed

2.Install Go Launcher then go to link2sd

3.Search for Holo Launcher,choose it and then "Actions" ->select "Convert to user application" -> Ok

4.Now search Go Launcher and do the same steps,only that you have to choose "Convert to system application"

5.Go to Holo Launcher and uninstall it

6.Reboot your phone

That's it!You have Go Launcher as system application and main launcher!

Enjoy it!;)

Can you provide a few screenshots of the looks and the status kernel/ android version.

And if possible I would also like to know the:

Thank you in advance for the answers. I do think alot of people would want to know all of this.

New problem: I made of course a CWM backup of my phone (Stock ROM rooted with my apps) and never problems with restoring it. But after flashing " gradu CUSTOM ROM v1.0" i decide to wait for "v2 DUAL SIM" and till Gradu2012 has made it, I want to use my old ROM.

So i made the restore with CWM (frst Wipe data/factory reset,and wipe cache partition, of course), but the phone now hangs in a boot-loop and also still has the gradu-boat-animation and Sound, instead of the original one....WHY it´s not possible to recover and how can i repair this- the boot-loop?? (New flashing of V1. is no problem and the phone is booting correct, but i want to use my backup!)

Edit: Now i recover with OTA (One Touch Upgrade Tool) to factory version, root it again and then: no problem to recover with my CWM backup...but no idea, why its not possible after installing the Gradu--ROM????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gradu2012:
Wait wait wait...firstly:did you get any error while making bakup before installing gradu CUSTOM ROM ?

And: After wipe factory/cache partition did you select "make backup recovery -> recovery ->yes" ?

For logo image,if it's not working with recovery,you have to flash your logo.img in Flash Tool.

Let me know EXACTLY what doesn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
No, and as i said, with the rooted stock Rom installed, the backup can be flashed back without any errors

I don´t know, what you mean- i didn´t made a backup from YOUR ROM. First the phone is in "factory-status", original. Then i´m rooting it, install my apps and change colours, settings, etc. and then I boot into CWM and choose "backup" to make a "home base" with the must-have-apps and settings.

And what ever i do in/with this ROM (i.e. init.d support, install/deinstall apps, changing launcher and so on) i EVER can flash back my backup without errors.

BUT when i flashed YOUR ROM and make the first settings (language, etc.) and then think: "OK, nice, but I need my Dual Sim and therefore want back to my "base", i boot into CWM, then first i choose wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvic cache- then i choose "recovery" -> yes and choose my backup file. The recovery process finished without any error, then i choose "reboot system now" and...boooooom....the phone hangs into a boot-loop, the boot-animation and the music starts again and again and again....

Maybe you think: aaah, he has a 991D (Dual Sim), but my ROM is for single Sim....nope, thats nothing to do with it. "Jeffta" made a Custom ROM for Dual Sim very similar to your ROM (two zip files to flash) and when i install this one, test it and want to go back to my base, i have the same failure- bootloop after recover my backup.

At this point there is (for me) no other way than to push the akku out and flash the unrooted original ROM with "Alcatel upgrade tool, root the phone, flash CWM and after all of this, i finally can flash back my "base backup" - the phone then boots normally and after 1 Hour i have back all my apps and settings :crying:

[/QUOTE]For logo image,if it's not working with recovery,you have to flash your logo.img in Flash Tool.[/QUOTE]

While bootloop, i had done this. I flashed back the original logo.img, and after reboot i first see the original picture (this green monster...lol), then starts your bootanimation (like a video) with your music and starts again and again and again......

I hope you understand me/all of this, my english is not so good (Germany).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Yes, my great master, I succeded. Yes, I tried it although I spend hours again to restore first the Alcatel original and then my backup :crying:

BUT its advantage is that I now know a trick to speed up the Alcatel Upgrade: This tool downloads directly from the Alcatel server, every time. So i was looking into OTA Dir and there was a "dowwnload" folder...but empty. Ok, i thought, the files were deleted after recovery. So i made a cup of coffee and do the upgrade procedure again and afterr the download, but before flashing, i copied the download folder to another place. :highfive:

And NOW i only need to copy the saved ffiles into OTA dowwnload directory and the tool is upgrading in about 5 minutes, not in 1-2 hours..jeeeeehaaaa :cowboy:

Ok, and now it´s your turn, i have a brain twister for you. The OTA is downloading 10.100 ".bin" files !!!! (yes, ten thousand and one hundred). Are YOU capable to make sweet two zip files (as by your ROM) with these original bin´s, that would make it very easy to recover. Or is there onother way (maybe for me, too) to make these 2 zip files from my running system or my backup?? :confused:

:good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Backup problem

I think, the problem iss the custpack section. Neither CWM nor other tools like MtkDroidTools are able to backup it :(

So if I install a ROM based on a 991 (NOT "D"") and (as I know) Dual Sim is implemented in custpack, I have this f...bootloop if I try to recover my backup based on the original DUAL SIM ROM. Same problem with jeffta´s ROM, he has no DUAL SIM and integrated this "blind".

The bottom line is that: CWM makes only a 99% backup.....

does anyone knows how to make a 100% backup of the 991D??

"SP Tools" and MtkDroidTools are uncapable to flash the custpack section even if the scatter file is adjusted ( the line __NODL_CUSTPACK 0x8920000)

Edit: as I read know, there are differences in our handy model: some 991 have the system section as "mtd11" and other (as mine) as "mtd12"....but that should does not matter for a recovery, only for ext2-scripts?!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
I can give you an original custpack.img and you can use yaffey.exe to extract all the apks and put it in the update.zip for CWM if you like?

Download here an original 991D custpack.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3bfntgEgASlSDV4N1dqRUpkYVk/edit?usp=sharing

Download yaffey.exe and do your job.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Thanks for your work, but i don´t understand.

I use CWM 6.0.0.3 and there is no possibility to make an "update.zip" !!

The problem are not missing files, the problem is, that CWM DON´T BACKUP the custpack partition ! Look into clockwordmod folder /backup:

.android_secure.vfat.dup

sd-ext.ext2.dup

data.yaffs2.img

boot.img

cache.yaffs2.img

system.yaffs2.img

recovery.img

nandroid.md5

P.S: Your download is "down", look screenshot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
I found a Mod for CWM, but it is for Alcatel 990. It should can be used also with 991/991D, but i think, the mtd numbers in the backup sh script are wrong.

I have attached the scripts and a screen of the mtd´s of the 991D...maybe someone with more experience then me can look into the script and tell me, if I can use it for my 991D or, if not, only to change the mtd numbers in the backup sh script?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adi.v:
not sure if it will help you, but maybe you should take a look at this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683883

:good::fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
The download link is working well.

To backup the custpack partition and system use this script:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23465028&postcount=269

And to restore it.

Or you can type in adb shell

cat /dev/mtd/mtd13 >> /sdcard/custpack.img

See how easy is to backup.. and look at the ROM's zip how to create a restore zip of your backup (extract files using yaffey or flash it as an image back from a zip) you already have 2 ways to backup/restore it ;)

"It will have files named ' firmware.info, preloader.img, nvram.img, seccnfg.img, uboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img, secstatic. img, misc.img, logo.img, expdb.img, cache.img, system.img, data.img' in that folder"

Manually Backup of the partitions is not the problem, but restoring. SP Flash tools don´t flash the custpack partition.

Sorry, I´m german and I don´t understand this complete. The problem is, as i said, not the backup itself or to get the files (unyaff), but to RESTORE) this with one or, like gradu/jeffta, two zip files.

I looked at the Zip´s and know the structure, but I don´t know how to make those Zip´s. I think, only to change the system and custpack data in gradu´s zip with my original data is not enough because of the update script?

And manually write this script new- thats not possible for me, I´m to silly for that :crying:

(Maybe it´s possible with dsixda Android Kitchen, but therefore I must first read a lot of postings :eek:)

I´ll try the Gulyuk scripts and post the result :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
Restore prodecture:

1. Yes... you can just replace for example all the files of gradu ROMS with original ones.. so simple.. and flash the zip.

2. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23465028&postcount=269 Use a ready made script able to flash custpack here. ( restore_by_Gulyuk.zip ) Flash this zip file restore_by_Gulyuk.zip while your custpack is in sdcard as cust.img

3. If you still having problems i remember i managed to flash custpack using SP Flash Tool v.3.1224.01

Which version of SP tools you use is important as well. Make a favor to a fellow lazy Greek :P try to flash using this version (remove NODL_ from scatter) and come back to tell me if SP Tools worked. but even if they didn't. you still have 2 other methods to restore.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
PS: thats garbage. Look into the script and then into my firmware.info- the mtd numbers are completely wrong!! But I tested it with recovery.img that the script saved on sd card....after flashing no recovery, black screen :D Then I flashed my old recovery and know everything is ok :)

SO DON´T USE THIS SCRIPT IF YOUR PARTITIONS ARE NOT THE SAME AS IN THE SCRIPT!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Arrrghhhh... I tested it and...phone is "dead", hangs on android-logo (no music, no animation). After that (I´m an idiot, i should look BEFORE testing) i look in the backup script and the mtd numbers are different with mine: "boot" isn´t mtd0 and recovery isn´t mtd2 and system isn´t mtd11 !!

I´m right, please take a look at script and my firmware.info!!?????

Edit: Even SP Flash tools 3.1224.01 CAN´T flash the custpack partition ("ripped" with "cat /dev/mtd/mtd13 >> /sdcard/custpack.img"), see screenshot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Grrrrrr....I like windows.....i try to make a batch file because it´s painful to type every single line, but this doesn´t work:

cat /dev/mtd/mtd6 >> /firmware/sdcard/boot.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd7 >> /firmware/sdcard/recovery.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd10 >> /firmware/sdcard/logo.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd12 >> /firmware/sdcard/system.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd16 >> /firmware/sdcard/userdata.img

The command window starts, then comes the first command, then "#" with the cursor and then...nothing. What´s wrong?

I searched on google for hours, but find nothing about that :crying:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
@catdoggy We all OT-991 users we have the same mtd and partitions, and the same scatter... thats why we root our phones with one scatter file.. there is no changes.

mkdir /sdcard/firmware

cat /dev/mtd/mtd13 >> /firmware/sdcard/custpack.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd6 >> /firmware/sdcard/boot.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd7 >> /firmware/sdcard/recovery.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd10 >> /firmware/sdcard/logo.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd12 >> /firmware/sdcard/system.img

cat /dev/mtd/mtd16 >> /firmware/sdcard/userdata.img

this should work for you. it takes a while to copy 150MB of data when talking of userdata and custpack.. and system.. so u have to wait a lot to finish. Remember, always check the mtd number of the file name.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Öööhmm I never said that there are differences between mine and other 991D phones!!

But YOU said i can use the Gulyuk.zip for backup and restore...and as YOU can see in this script, "boot" = mtd0 and NOT mtd6 and "recover" = mtd2 and NOT mtd7...so this script COULD NOT WORK !!!!!!!!!

The same with this script: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683883

As you see, all mtd numbers except 0 and 1 are different from ours, so it DOES NOT WORK !!!!!!!!!

Nope. First the "adb shell" is a must have, the "firmware" folder already exists. Same result as by mine batch- only the cursor and then nothing, no writing to sdcard so only the first command is execute and then stops. I run the .bat file on pc in the adb-folder, phone is correctly connected.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
catdoggy Gulyk script it works.. IT DOESN'T USE MTD numbers, it uses names.

In the bottom line if you think it has a mistake, extract the script, correct with Notepad++ (only) and put it back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Ok, first of all, I TESTED the script BEFORE posting and it DOESN´T WORK!! Indeed it copies the files to SD, but for testing i flashed back this recoveery.img with SP Flash Tools back-> and there is NO Recovery, phone cannot boot into it, because the script read the wrong-mtd!!

Second:

How explain you these lines in the Gulyuk Backup script (Tar.sh):

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frapedas:
Its a very simple thing to recover your custpack and you are still fighting with this? 1 way, edit the wrong mtd numbers in that script you found, i already show you how to find the correct numbers, 2. extract files into gradus rom zip, 3. use SP tools the version i stated before.. (with the right... custpack.img) :D:D:angel:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] catdoggy:
Sorry, but: blablabla.......

It's a matter of principle.

First you say, the (original) script is working ->it DOESN´T !!!!

Second you said, the script doesn´t work with mtd numbers -> it DOES !!!

And now you said, I´m too stupid, i just have to change the mtd numbers in the script ????

Thats incedible, you talk such nonsense the hole time and also in your last post.

The script works now and also the recover-script, so why the hell I should make such nonsense as extract into gradus rom and flash with SP Flash Tools- thats completely unnecessary and complete rubbish :angel::silly:

The script DOESNT WORK WITH MTD NUMBERS For RESTORE you ask me to Restore image and i tell you how to get with adb shell cut image and RESTORE it with that restore scirpt, which DOESN'T use mtd numbers... is so hard for you to understand that? instead you look into the script for dumping the image.. while already had give you my custpack.img + info on how to get your own image from adb.. simple? or no?

First you cry because you can't restore it.. i give you 1000 solutions and now you cry because u are too lazy to ACTUALLY read wtf i reply to you? or because you download "backup" scripts instead of "restore" which was the reason u were crying? .. if you are way too lazy to edit a zip from a custom rom.. then maybe... Maybe... just saying.. maybe you should read the answers to your questions?

And because you are going to post nonsense again...

^------ THATS how to backup.

The RESTORE script to restore it, or SP tools, or quit being a lazy and edit a zip with a /custpack directory. you dont have to code all the script for your self.

@frapedas: first of all thanks for the .bat file. It´s not necessary any more, because with my changes the Guljak scripts works fine, but I learn every day and so I see where the error was:D

Then I agree, that we talked at cross purposes. My thematic priority was on the backup and on the backup script with it´s failure, see post 24 and also post 31, or just the thread title "backup problem" and also the batch file (thanks) is for BACKUP). You don´t see that and I don´t see, that your priority was the Restoring. All of your methods are correct except flashing the custpack with SP Flash Tools- I tried 5 versions of the tool and 3 different backups from custpack, but every time it says, that the file is too big and cannot be flashed. But there is now no problem, the scripts working, it´s the fastest and easiest way and

so I´m sorry

I have no clue and I know it, but I`m constantly seeking. Therefore "lazy" was a little bit abusive.

It´s great that there will come three new versions from you, do you have a original DualSim ROM? Of course you know jeffta, but the problem there is that he has no DualSim and works "blind", so the ROM is not 100%	accurate. So take your time, for me it´s better to waiting than to be annoyed:victory:
