bootanimation problem!

I changed my bootanimation and tried if it works using these commands which i normally do with my past android devices.

adb shell bootanimation

the animation works fine but when i hit:

adb reboot

the animation showed was just android mask or android shine which shows when you don't have bootanimation.zip inside /data/local or /system/media. it's like a default bootanimation.

so once I booted, I tried again

adb shell bootanimation

the bootanimation works but when I reboot, it's back to default.

I tried replacing back the original bootanimation.zip but it still the defaut bootanimation. It's very weird. I haven't encountered this before...:confused:

Great job!

I'll take a look at this. I'm having force closes in some system app upon changing themes. It got worse after tge 06272013 update. Before I only get force close on theme 000. Now I have force close in 000, 002, 003, and 004. They are forcing us to use only the default theme so they altered the system apps.

Qaz, I'm trying your guide to decompile the framework-res.apk. it comes our with an error that there is no androidmanifest.xml but I will try to work around it knowing i do have android manifest inside it.

Anyway, the question is, do you guys experience force close on the following themes?

Theme=000

Dialer

Messaging

Theme=002

Audio profiles

Manage applications

Theme=003

Audio profiles

Manage applications

I'm trying to read the logcat to find out what causes the force close but I have no idea what the output means. Don't know how to interpret the logs.

In theme 000, I got rid of the force close in messaging by pulling a Mms.apk from a cyanogen mod rom and it works. However when I tried to do the method to the phone.apk, it still force closes and the bad part is my signal is gone too.

Errors with on the air firmware update / can not be installed

Hi, first of all: thanky you all for this great forum and hard work! I used your contributions to root my dutch alcatel onetouch 4030x. Worked perfectly. However: there was a bug in the original alcatel software which caused to loose the phone connection now and then. Especially when you switched from wifi network a to b etc.. Was a known issue at alcatel and showed up especially with t-mobile 3g connections. Alcatel told me to wait for a firmware update. It just came out.

So: I unrooted the phone, restored the setting to factorylevel and installed the update. The phone rebooted and stopped with this error:

my screen looks loke this: rua1 CWM v5.5.0.4 for ALCATEL O --> + menu choices + background picture of a fallen android with exclamation mark + the error message:

rua1 CWM v5.5.0.4 for ALCATEL O

menu choice 1

menu choice 2 and so on

-------------------------------------------------------

"CWM automade 20.03.2013 15:55:38

Finding update package...

E:unknown volume for path [/storage/sdcard0/.downloaded/update.zip]

E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard0/.downloaded/update.zip

Installation aborted."

-------------------------------------------------------

What is happening? I checked and yes, the path in the phone is correct.

So, I applied the alcatel upgrade utility version s 2.8.0. to make sure the phone would be as 'new' as possible, but apparently, the upgrade utility software noticed that the firmware used to be 2.8.0. and closed the program, saying I already have the latest software. The utility did not notice I had changed a lot, removed original software from the customerpack etc.

How can I solve this problem? Does someone e.g. have a recovery image file of an older than s 2.7.5 firmware so I can try to run the upgrade utility again or???????????? Does it perform a downgrade??? I think not.

Has it to do with cwm still being on the phone? How can I remove it?? I followed the guide on this forum; it unrooted the phone but did not remove the cwm.

How can i get the over the air firmware 01004_20130719... to be installed??? Any ideas???? Thank you all in advance! Greeetings from the Netherlands.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberangel22k:
what region is your 4030? is it D? mine is 4030E and one touch upgrade s works even with a latest firmware. Anyway, here's the answer to your question why the update fails to install.

First the OTA update only works in stock recovery. You currently have CWM recovery so it won't work.

Second. even if you do have stock recovery but you modified/deleted any contents inside /system and /custpack, it will fail. The updater script of the update.zip contains an assert check that checks the files inside these partitions if they were modified or removed. If any file has a different sha1-sum or any file is missing, the update will fail.

Alcatel made this to prevent us from rooting or modifying the stock firmware IMHO.

If you can't try to flash using OTU, then you may need a complete stock readback ROM that you can flash using SP flashtool. It should also be the same region with your current (I think) firmware. But if you want, i do have a complete readback of the latest 4.1.1-01002 build 06-27-13. But my region code is 4030E which is Asia.

We can always avoid this hassle of failing updates. we can use MTK droid tools and SP flashtool to create a complete readback before rooting and doing anything with the firmware. So when an update pops up, we just flash the backup readback to loose root and regain the complete stock. Then we can download and install the firmware without problems. After updating, we perform readback again to have the latest backup and then root again.

Will upload my readback now if ever you like it, I will post the link here.

How to change the theme to black?

1. Install ROMToolbox.

2.Go to /custpack/build.prop.

3. Add PROPERTY NAME: persist.sys.jrdtheme

PROPERTY VALUE: 003

4. NOTE: ro.jrd.theme.flag should be set to 1.

5. Reboot.

It worked for me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] qaz13:
yes it works. but in the settings, if you select one of the menu items - an error

gives the same error when you launch Phone.apk

in previous versions of the firmware, this was not
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberangel22k:
It's so hard to debug the force closes caused by changing theme. I already found out which xml's causes force close in changing themes but when I decompile using apktool, it does not work because of too many resources not recognized by apktool which causes errors when decompiling.

PS:

My Cm porting project has been halted for months now. When I have plenty of time, I will resume it.

BTW, I also tried porting CM but because i'm too busy, until now the project is still in repo sync stage only. LOL! I have reached about 28 GB in 98% fetching projects before CM released 10.1.1. Now I tried it and too many errors appeared when I resumed the repo sync.

EDIT 2: The phone wouldn't boot, so I tried reflashing the recovery and bootimg files I had, but it says the same thing again. I have no idea why.

EDIT 3: Apparently, the preloader image was wrong, and that's what bricked the phone. Any known cure for this?

PRELOADER and DSP_BL should not be flashed in any alcatel phone because it will result in a bricked device. Did I not mention that in my post? Sorry if I didn't. Try this unbricking guide. This works on all MT65xx phones.

If your device got bricked because of rooting, probably the brick is caused by a boot.img that is not patched or incompatible to your firmware. If you want, I uploaded the a copy of my full backup a few posts back. But be aware that it is the latest 4030E which is Asian firmware. Means the languages installed are only English and Asian languages.

I would also like to ask everyone here if they can provide a copy of their backups just like in the Russian forums so everyone can get a copy of the different regions. I'm also hunting for a copy of the old firmware that have the aosp lock screen. I hope anyone gives a copy here. Thanks!

Hi there! As far as I know, in order to unbrick a phone you have to flash it with the stock rom and in order to do this you need to flash CWM (or TWRP) into the phone first. This guide has steps in it which require to have an operating phone in order to flash CWM. So, how am I gonna do this in my bricked phone? I'd also be very grateful if you could provide me with a link for some stock firmware. My OT-4030X came with 4.1, but 4.1.1 would be even better.

Help with Alcatel 4030x and error 8038

Hi guys,

I've been trying to flash my new 4030x, but with no luck so far. I've been following the great tutorial by cyberangel22k, but when I try to flash I get that 8038 error... I checked the scatter-loading file to find if there were any mismatches between the flashtool error-log and the scatter file, but they seem to match...

I attached the log file, could you help me out?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberangel22k:
ok, it says here that there is an error:

NOT MATCH: load item key(USRDATA), value(0x4af4c000), target item key(__NODL_USRDATA), value(0x4af4c000).

this can easily be edited using notepad++ and change USRDATA to __NODL_USRDATA.

But there's another error stating:

tboot_1::VerifyLayoutBeforeDownload(): Load layout and target layout is not matched!(.\tboot_1.cpp,8544)

I think this error is caused by incorrect partition layout when your scatterfile is generated. Mayber you should get another scatter file if the suggestion above didn't work...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cyberangel22k:
you should have a latest firmware. There are reports here in our local forums that they performed upgrade via OTUS then tried framaroot again and it worked. Or use my guide. Just flash CWM/TWRP recovery thru SP flash tool, then flash the zip for rooting thru recovery mode. it'll be a lot easier.

POST #9 Updated!

I edited step 6 in the guide. A lot of users are reporting to have been bricked because of the patched boot.img. Don't flash the boot.img anymore. It is also safer to flash TWRP instead of CWM which requires a patched boot.img.
