root not working

I did it, as detailed even on first post. When i choose the file from my sd card, it tries to install it, but then the error "aborted" is shown.

Note: i used the android recovery tool that is shown on each android phone pressing power button and volume UP button

Here details on my phone:

Hardware : MT6577
Model : ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 5035D
Build number : Jelly Bean
Build date UTC : 20130614-061957
Android v : 4.1.1
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W1222SP.V15.F5.P14, 2013/06/13 11:14
Kernel v : 3.4.0 (android-bld@Perso125) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Thu Jun 13 20:00:11 CST 2013

BUT let's talk about my problems, cause they are more important than a ROOT:

Note: the following problems comes from the compare between our 5035D (android 4.1.1) and the alcatel one touch 997D (android 4.0) that i Love cause it doesn't have all these problems.

My 5035D phone (even after complete restore with alcatel tool) has the following problems:

-becomes hot just using it a little bit (on the lower part)

-if used as navigator (now google maps) connected to car battery, becomes hot and/or reboots within 2 hours and stops working

-the gps is very slow and not precise for very long time since the starting

-the really cool voice commands available on android 4.0 (on my previous 997D) are not working (for example on 997D if i say "go to rome" he automatically starts the navigator setting the requested destination)

-sometimes it needs 2-3-4 seconds to show a window, or to switch between apps, or to react to user commands.

Ok, since my alcatel onetouch 997d has the same chipset hardware of our phone...

read here the details about the 997D:
Hardware : MT6577
Model : ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 997D
Build number : Ice Cream Sandwich
Build date UTC : 20121125-072510
Android v : 4.0.4
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V1.F4.P1, 2012/11/12 15:54
Kernel v : 3.0.13 (android-bld@aclgcl-ubnt37) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sat Nov 24 16:37:34 CST 2012

..then i suppose that my problems with 5035D are related to the new android revision 4.1.1

For this reason I would like to ask you:

1) your opinion about my problems

2) your opinion about my ipothesis

3) Is it possible to downgrade from android 4.1.1 to 4.0 ? How to do it? Could i start from 997D backup? How to do it? Which is your suggestion?
[Android General] andrei80:
Good question...Perheaps 4.0 is the better, more polished option for this phone.
[Android General] e_sezairov:
where can i find ics4.0 for 5035?

Unfortunately, I did 'factory reset' after having rooted my phone and deleted a few apps. What happens now is that I cannot boot the phone. All I see after booting it is the "one touch" white screen and nothing happens. What should I do?

Nvm, I managed to deal with that.

However, I've got another problem. I can't install firmware update, due to the fact that some of pre-installed apps are missing. Factory Resetting didn't help as I planned, and they are still not present, therefore the update still fails. Does any of you happen to know what can be done to update that? ;)
[Android General] Mithrandix:
You can try and completely wipe the phone by using the alcatel upgrade tool on your computer. It solved the issue for me when trying to update the phone.
[Android General] andrei80:
U can try to use one of the 2 backups in this thread(beginning) and copy the missing apps in the custpack. I have deleted some apps from there too.
[Android General] andrei80:
Found this app that is said to do wonders for other devices. Lag fix. Question is...does stock Alcatel kernel need it? Does it mount /data partition with -discard option or not?
[Android General] aldnnnn:
So 5035E 4.1.1 users could just flash twrp through spflash then flash the jellybean root zip to root their phone? That would have save me a lot of time :D
[Android General] Zyquil:
Wondering if there's still a way to fix my problem. I accidentally formatted my 5035E using Sp flash tool and flashed 5035d files. I've already flashed the correct 5035E files. However, bluetooth does not work : telling me I entered incorrect pin wherein it didn't prompt me for it & I can't update through software updater app or one touch upgrade tool since it detects it as an invalid model.
[Android General] andrei80:
Is there a working way to change the minfree values for this phone? Big apps give "Low memory!" and crash.
[Android General] daniel910821:
Yes, try using SuperCharger V6 or using RomToolbox, booth works fine for me on ICS.
[Android General] andrei80:
I have tried Supercharger on Xperia Ray Gingerbread and that put it in boot-loop, so I am quite concerned. Could you please tell me at least what choices u made in supercharger ?

LE experimented a lot with Kernel and memory tweaks in ROM Toolbox, but still get Low memory and back to homescreen or even reboot. The app that torments me is Frontline commando D Day, which I hear plays fine on SGS1, which hat single core and same 512 RAM.

Anyone got Frontline commando to run on their Alcatel?
[Android General] andrei80:
The Kernel tweaks in ROM toolbox don't seem to apply. Probably the kernel doesn't allow that...The Low memory! warning keeps popping out from time to time and the app I'm using keeps getting closed :| The memory tweaks seem to stick, but I see no effects
[Android General] chinaphoneguy:
Thank you for the guide.

[Android General] andrei80:
Here is the complete backup to be used for rooting 4.1.1 if that is what you need.
[Android General] daniel910821:
I guess you made the mod by editing the SystemUI.apk and the SystemUI-res.apk; could you please tell us, how you got to decompile the SystemUI-res.apk?

Thanks!
[Android General] velikimeda:
You need:

1. APKTOOL

2. ADB

3. framework-res.apk

4. lot of patience

MAKE BACKUP BEFORE!!!

1. Pull SystemUI files from phone with ADB

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb pull /custpack/JRD_custres/app/SystemUI-res.apk

2. Install framework-res.apk in APKTOOK

apktool if framework-res.apk

3. Merge SystemUI.apk and SystemUI-res.apk in same file (copy files from SystemUI.apk to SystemUI-res.apk)

4. Decompile new created file (you need only res files)

apktool d -s SystemUI.apk

APKTOOL will make new folder with apk name

5. Change what you want in res folder

6. Compile new SystemUI

apktool b SystemUI SystemUI-res-new.apk

7. Remove unnecessary files from newly created apk

8. Rename apk to SystemUI-res.apk

9. Make flashable zip or just push SystemUI-res.apk to phone with ADB and reboot

adb push SystemUI-res.apk /custpack/JRD_custres/app/
adb reboot

Do you still need a TWRP 5035D 4.1.1 jelly bean backup?
[Android General] velikimeda:
Yes. Thanks
[Android General] cobalamin:
Alcatel 5035D Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (DUAL SIM) - Italian ROM with other languages of course.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!NoA3DRoT!HOrWzCuMoUhvt99IIjkvQw

2 different types of rom backups.

1. MTKDroidtools rom backup with TWRP recovery flashed, with root and without userdata. The size seems small. Maybe I did something wrong?

2. SPFLASHTOOL stock rom backup without root and without userdata(data).

- Followed this guide and used "0x36f60000" in the "Length" box. "0x36f60000" is from the scatter file.

http://alcatelstar.blogspot.it/2013/08/how-to-create-full-backup-alcatel-star-idol-xpop-mpop-spop.html

Edit: Added extracted rom with patched boot.img to use with spflashtool.

Install Guide for #2: http://alcatelstar.blogspot.it/2013/08/how-to-restore-backup-alcatel-idol-star.html

3. TWRP backup without root, without userdata(data) and with boot.img & recovery.img flashed.

- Flashed the two files below with SPFLASHTOOL but didn't install the "Jelly_bean_root_6577.zip" file with TWRP before the rom backup. So.. the backed up rom doesn't contain root.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44002972&postcount=152

Note: velikimeda unsecured jelly bean boot img doesn't work with this rom. Use the new patched one I've added. TWRP jelly bean by velikimeda works.

Please read post 277 by velikimeda as a final step.

Thanks for the root and enjoy these files.
[Android General] velikimeda:
MTKDroidtool backup isn't complete. I'll try TWRP backup.

Thanks again

Bad backup?!

I have X'Pop dual sim, with ICS, in Serbia, and I tried to instal Italian JB from few posts. :cool: I haven't tried first backup because it's incomplete, it's very small. First, I tried 2nd backup, from SP flash tool, and it worked. Not so smothly like ICS, but with root, few setings, i think it could be very good. But, it have problems with backlight. On lower levels of light, backlight is unstable, frequencial. Also, automatic backlight isn't working correctly. So, it's very irritating for eyes. :cyclops: Then i tried your 3rd backup and got bootloop. I tried both backups the 4 times. So, i got back to my ICS.;)

Did you flash the ICS or Jelly bean TWRP recovery and UNSECURED boot image?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44002972&postcount=152

Have you tried this?

Edit: Changing the theme is possible with only 000, 001, 002. 003 causes a boot error.

000 (black theme), 001 (white/blue theme / default), 002 (white/green theme), 002 might cause a boot error in the single sim rom.

Maybe velikimeda can chime in.
[Android General] velikimeda:
1. Install 2nd backup... first unpack with mtkdroidtool then install with spflashtool (boot.img, uboot.img, secro.img, custpack2.img, mobile_info.img, system.img). Don't install recovery or install JB TWRP recovery.

2. Go to recovery and perform wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (factory defaults).

3. Enjoy
[Android General] cobalamin:
velikimeda,

The jelly bean unsecured boot image gives me screen problems. The screen shifts slowly to the left at times. mtkdroidtools made a patched one for me when I extracted the rom and I used it. No more screen problems.
[Android General] CikaUnke:
I still have a same problem with backlight. Yes, I instaled unsecure boot,img, done factory reset, then tried JB. I tried it right now, a lot of times, but it's same..
[Android General] cobalamin:
Can you take a picture?

Is it the screen or is it android operating system?

Sorry. This is probably old kernel. Send me your kernel and i'll fix it.

[Android General] EL_Ninjo:
Thanks velikimeda

i got it to work

currently backuping my original rom for potential problems that will probably follows

Did you used that Italian rom 4.1.1 from previous page sucesfully?

Any advice? Do I need to change kernel manualy also? Or just load sp flash backup he gived?

I have Alcatel X'Pop from MTS,

i would love to have 4.1.1 rooted and fully functional

is that possible or should i wait for some other solution (other then Italian 4.1)

Thanksss and sorry for so much questions
[Android General] cobalamin:
I've uploaded the complete extracted rom of mtkdroidtools in the mega link in the original post. It includes the patched boot.img.

Thanks.

I also found out that I had to disable google services with Disable Service to make the cell phone run cool. Google play store, google play services, tracking services, etc.. these hidden tracking services were draining my battery.

[Android General] CikaUnke:
Backlight is not working correctly, it's unstable. I think it's a problem in kernel, because same thing happened on my OT-990 with some custom ROMs and they disappeared with new kernel. Anyway, I'm on my ICS, i don't have enough time for this, so, new attempts to install JB will wait. If someone knows a solution for this problem, it would be usefull to write it here.

Btw, thanks to all, people. :)

EDIT: I installed parched boot img for JB from first post and problems are less visible. Definitly it is in boot.img
[Android General] cobalamin:
Velikimedia,

My understanding is that we need the patched boot.img to install root. Can we flash the original boot.img after we have rooted the phone?
[Android General] velikimeda:
You need patched boot only if you wish use ADB.EXE in root mode (write on system partition, custpack partition...)
[Android General] cobalamin:
OK, so the custom recovery.img like TWRP or CWM is required to root the phone, can we flash the original recovery.img back after we have rooted the phone?
[Android General] velikimeda:
If you don't need backup anymore flash original recovery
[Android General] xKiba7:

Installation aborted? Did i something wrong?
[Android General] andrei80:
Backlight is a bit too snappy to adapt when on lower levels and fluctuates sometimes. My Xpop has come with JB from the start. Would love a firmware update thatsolves the few problems this one has, but I doubt we'll see one. If a developer woud work on it a bit, this would become a great budget phone.

What we will do in this tutorial, is to optimize the GPS signal to pinch harder and faster to connect, I've tried and tested for a number of terminals Samsung Galaxy family, though I suppose it will be worth for many other terminals whether or not Samsung.

The first thing we will do is get off two applications, the Angry Faster GPS Fix and once downloaded you copy to the memory card and instaláis.

One very important thing I forgot to say is that you should be root user to perform this tutorial.

After installing the two applications will go to execute as indicated

Fix Faster

Open the Faster Fix and configure the server that suits us:

We close Faster Fix and go to Angry GPS.

Angry GPS

Angry Gps To configure correctly and expedite and improve GPS signal.

Now change Standalone by MSBASED.

Twice we click backspace and select Delete GPS Data.

Now click in Test and Start TTFF and hope to capture the satellite signal available, it is not to say that this must be done in an open, hopefully outdoors.

Usually, we can close the Angry GPS configuration and test our favorite GPS navigator, I am sure you asombráis with the agility and power of your GPS. Font : androidsis

Just wanted to say thanks for tutorial and to andrei80 for the 5035x recovery for Android 4.1.1. For some reason i could not make root (i know that the files in tut are for 5035D but others with 5035x have said it worked for them) but with the recovery from andrei80 and Step1 it worked.

One thing i would want is to change or remove the operator boot logo, somebody can help me with that?

I have OT5035x and cwm and root works fine but please give me a link with a zip of an os that don't eat 3 gb of internal memory and 300 RAM's :) no need for custom roms, I would like any android from 2.5 to 3, even windows... I googled a whole day for a image and only found one android 2.3.6 that don't work ( twrp can't flash it ) :s
[Android General] andrei80:
Android is not like windows. All android ROMS are only for a specific device, not universal. About RAM, don't worry, it is using it efficiently. As in free ram=wasted ram. Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=904023
[Android General] kE3lLeR:
I want to get rid of that "low memory" message that stop high memory usage apps. I had a galaxy with half of the resourses I have now and it ran faster cuz it had android 2.3. I can't imagine a new device to don't run an older os that is more simple.... I just don't like the new effects of JB and it really drains battery. I know there are android os packs but I forgot where, android can update from sd without flasing or rootig but I want to "downdate".
[Android General] andrei80:
There is android 4.0 but nobody put a full backup here. Gingerbread was never developed for this phone. Battery drain is not specific for jellybean,my phone lasts 3-4 days usually.

I hope to see soon jb 4.2 or 4.3 for this phone, or mby cm.
[Android General] andrei80:
Others, including myself, have used the backup successfully. It might be that the backup is not really a complete backup, so if u don't originally have the same version of Android as the backup, it messes up the system. It isn't meant to be used for upgrading firmware.
[Android General] kE3lLeR:
Please say it so, I flashed it again from ICS and JB is working except android keyboard and muzic player and its not rooted :)
[Android General] andrei80:
The backup is posted on first page just for the purpose of rooting, as is the ICS backup also posted there.

I have managed to get a 5035D(dual sim) to replace my 5035X, bought it quite cheap without battery and after a day of use I found that, besides the fact that I now have free 3G internet all the time(from my second sim), it doesn't have the problems of the single sim. Proximity sensor works perfectly during call, it never hangs(or restarts) on call end and the GPS connects very well without any helping programs. Quite happy with it now.

Maybe this is something that can be used to correct the 5035X problems if source of trouble is in the software.

Didn't root it yet because it just works flawlessly and I am afraid to mess with it.

When I connected to internet, it said there is an update, although it is already 4.1.1. Should I update? All works well now, as I stated before...

Update is called: 01001_20130621_060031(93,2mb). From the name, I think update date is 21.06.2013, don't know what the rest means...

ROM porting on 5035d is tricky. Dual sim isn't supported by android. Alcatel give us only kernel not completed ROM. First you try to port 5035x (single sim) ROM on 5035d (dual sim)
