I confirm BZzzz3 - 01014 version is free from the above bugs, so it looks to me the best rom right now ( also Lewa is working fine but has too many Chinese apps ... )

I just want to put a note on the link shared by [MENTION=1342249]alexcyb[/MENTION], It contains good ROM, I think it would be worth to add it in the first post with all resources (@RaNd.gr):

- http://www.romjd.com/Device/tcl-s950

I'm actually using the following one (MIUI) and it is basically better of any other rom shared here ...

Need some help please!

I have an Alcatel 6040A that is currently soft-bricked and stuck in a boot loop. Flashed a 6043D (idol x+) rom accidentally. Ya, I know :/

I had CWM recovery on it, which was working before, but I am now unable to boot into recovery (I have tried searched this forum and tried every method!) I have been trying to flash the correct rom using sp flash tool but i haven't been able to connect it to my PC. The phone powers off but when i connect it to a usb port, it automatically resumes the boot loop. My computer registers the device connection for about two seconds and then it disconnects. I have (with good timing :P) been able to uninstall and reinstall to driver from the device manager, but it hasn't seemed to help at all.

Also tried using adb to boot into recovery but that's a no-go as well due to my limited connection.

Have I completely bricked this phone?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] alexcyb:
ok, the only solution (if you have already installed a rom custom or original ), open sp flash tool, upload your scatter, select original recovery alcatel (no cwm) flash the recovery, disconnect the terminal, and press the combination to get into recovery,if it does not start repeat the flash recovery.

this is the only solution, tested on my terminal in bootloop

sorry english
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] money3tg7:
Alright thanks! So I guess my problem is that sp flash tool is not detecting my phone's connection. I might not have the right preloader so I'll look into that as well. We're you able to get sp flash to download to your phone even in a boot loop? My phone won't stay powered off. It's starts a boot loop whenever I connect. Is that an issue?

Hello Everyone,

I've had a problem while installing the last AOSP, I didn't found what is the problem (i guess it's something with corrupted files...)

The problem is that now my phone is stucked in boot animation, SP Flash tool work and is able to install a ROM, the problem is that I don't find a ROM which works for my phone (6040D - Idol X)

Can anyone give me a link to a functionnal ROM for my phone? I don't care about the langage as I will reload right away the AOSP ROM :)

Thank you for your help, i'm on this problem since yesterday and I'm becoming Maaaaad :D

EDIT: found a Solution, but now CWM do not recognize the Internal Storage and say : Can't Mount E:\

Stuck in boot loop too.

--Hi there,

Thanks for being there and doing all the heavy lifting for us people out there.

I seem to be in the same bootloop situation as mentioned. I've been trying everything (as fas as I know) with no avail.

SP Flash tells me that I need to check if my scatter file is legal. (I don't know how to solve this)

My device is also not even recognized through adb...

To get to this place all I did was flash the "Idol-X S4 UI v1.5" ROM.

I'm sure the solution is probably not so difficult, but I just can't see it.

Thanks

Brick

I played aroud with this phone. It was of the network, 1001 alcatel rom. Rooted afterwards, and a new rom put. 1002 I think. Than we went to TCL firmware. At that point I tried to return CWM backup of Alcatel and failed. First brick. Afterwards, I returned with flashtool TCL and all went well. Then I put some russian custom rom. However, I wanted back to Alcatel and I put 1001 with flashtool. However, without custpack and with preloader (I know a BIG NO-NO). Well, i got a bootloop. I then put TCL firmware 1006 with custpack and without preloader. Everything in order. Well, since then he will not turn on. When I plug in usb only thing that goes on is white LED. No device found on comp, no adb, nothing. Any ideas? Should I try to return it to network provider and play mad?

Use the Mobile Upgrade S tool from Alcatel or TCL homepage. If that doesnt work, you should try to return it.

not registering

Hi!

I have got a dual sim TCL S950. First I tried MIUI on it but I didn't like it, then when I tried to flash back a normal Alcatel/TCL rom, I might messed up something.

Since then, in Hungary, it just not find the signal. Today, I went to Wienna, Austria, and everything went back to normal, there was signal. And when I crossed the border back on my way to Hungary, the signal was gone, and it's not registering (I'm not sure it's the right word for it but I hope you understand) my sim cards on the hungarian networks. I have an austrian T-mobile sim and a hungarian Telenor sim, I need them because I work abroad. I tried to put the austrian card to an other phone, and since then that card is not working at all. But the biggest problem is that none of the card registering to hungarian network.

Do you heard something like that, or do you can help me? I'd be grateful for any kind of solution.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I have a problem with my idol X

The phone was perfectly working until he just decided to go off. After this, i tried to charge it and to switch it on. No result. I tried then to change the firmware with SP flash tool, not booting.

The only thing that works is the white notification led. Also after I installed another firmware he booted two times (just the black screen with " Alcatel idol X" written.

I also tried mobile upgrade S. But this keep saying me "read information fail".

Does anyone now a solution that work for this problem?

Hey there,

Thank you very much for your post! I thought I had bricked my wife's phone while trying to upgrade the phone.

Alcatel Onetouch Upgrade is a ****ty software. You should stay away from it. And Onetouch Center is pretty bad as well. I can't use on Windows 8 to back up the phone since it only recognizes the phone when I connect it to the laptop and then crashes and stops working. Completely useless.
[Alcatel Idol X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fejkakaunt:
here is solution for xposed framework bootloop:

"In addition, Xposed now sports a safemode which allows you to disable Xposed during bootloops. To disable Xposed, you'll have to repeatedly tap one of the hardware buttons (Power, Volume, or Home) on your device during startup.

During boot, your device will vibrate twice when it detects the first key press. You'll then have five seconds to press that same button four more times, with each keystroke producing a short single vibration. After ending with a long vibration, your device will disable and prevent most of Xposed's actions, allowing you to easily troubleshoot problematic modules.

While it should work for the majority of bootloops, it's not a 100% guarantee, as there may be various issues causing a bootloop that have nothing to do with Xposed."

Alcatel Idol X SP Flash tools problem

Ok after going to the service and trying to get my phone replaced, everything I said has failed. They didn't want to replace it and just canceled the varranty.

So I was trying to flash a new ROM to my Idol X and that failed too.

Every time I tried it, there was BROM ERROR: S_DA_EMMC_FLASH_NOT _FOUND (3144)

Even Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S doesnt help.

Is there anyone who can help me with this problem since I don't have money for new phone?

(Phone seems bricked since only white notification light is on when I put it on charger or connect it with USB cable) I've read somewhere that flashing can unbrick it. Now the only problem (as far as I know) is that error 3144.
