This phone is one of the best phone regarding the battery I have ever had.

And new Alcatel firmwares contain this new cool SONY-Stamina-like feature:

I can really recommend this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] nakTT:
Too bad the battery is non removable. Perhaps TCL/Alcatel expect us to throw the phone once the battery dead.

Guys, i backup my rom using MTK tool, can someone tell me how to restore that? i dont see option for that :\
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Select partitions you wanna restore and press "download" button (which mean firmware will be downloaded to phone from PC, usually via TFTP protocol). Don't forget to add exceptions in A/V and Firewall.

There is a nice tutorial on xda-developers forum, search for topic SP Flash Tools or so:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167244

Edit: And take care they said use SP Tools 3.x for smartphones, and MTK tools 5.x is for featurephones. MT6572 is smartphone.
[General Questions and Answers] ivcha90:
Thanks bro now is more clearly, few more things, in mtk droid tools, when i select use boot from phone and then recovery, mtk will installl his cwm recovery i dont need to select recovery.img (or other for cwm)? And one more, in sp flash, if i get brick, i can flash boot, and system only to restore device or i need to flash entire folder of back up?

If i understud...firmware>upgrade is for entire rom to flash, and download is for single files?
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
I dunno, I never hit "firmware upgrade" button so far.

Bonus question: does any1 tried to make init.d support on stock rom?
[General Questions and Answers] ivcha90:
i did, with universal init.d support, excualy with pimp my rom, but thats the same, working perfect, so we now have fully working, root, cwm and init.d :)
[General Questions and Answers] ivcha90:
this is for init d and i have it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d, i put scripts manualy via root explorer and give them right permisions :D coz i didnt have cwm on phone

So, is custom rom closer ? What do you think?
[General Questions and Answers] ivcha90:
I think not :\
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Not and i think there is no need. Custom kernel would be better, compiled with more governers/schedulers and maybee OC. Stock rom is cool if debloated IMPO.

You need to make all action in recovery mode.

You should copy custpack.img to /sdcard and mount sdcard in recovery (mount/storage menu)

after that you can try a cd /sdcard and ls for check if the file is here.

One ok you can do a "echo custpack.img > /emmc@custpack
[General Questions and Answers] jp01:

[General Questions and Answers] jp01:

what is the difference between echo /custpack > /sdcard/custpack.bak and cat /emmc@custpack > /sdcard/custpack.img.old

i try to made echo /custpack > /sdcard/custpack.bak

it don t works

i have instaly the same message again : echo /custpack > /sdcard/custpack.bak but no backup

it seems that the echo command don t work with adb on my pc ?

so the backup with the cat command is ok for me ...
[General Questions and Answers] guifort:
Sorry I have make a mistake in the cmd.

It's a cat for backup cat work but not the echo command and you do it in recovery mode with adb shell ?

I don't know why ... I just retry echo /sdcard/custpack.img > /emmc@custpack and it work...
[General Questions and Answers] jp01:
yes i am in recovery with adb shell

with the cat command imy backup is ok

whith the echo command it s no ok impossible

i try adb from mtkdroid and from cme.exe it s the same....

Last day i put phone in bootloop using this app: ([root] live dmesg lite), so You now knows it does not work (my device is rooted, and I have latest busybox).

First I tried to flash with Mobile Upgrade S 4.0.6 but I it says

Phone is already upgraded to latest firmware version, blah, blah, blah...

and that wont let me flash over. Holy Storm of bullcrap!

Is there any trick that can be used on rooted device to fool Mobile Upgrade S thinks in phone is earlier firmware version, so we can restore completely stock firmware? Best guess is editing build.prop, system.ver or custpack.ver but i don't know how Mobile Upgrade S check which firmware version is in the phone. Maybe this sound stupid, but it is exactly how i managed to downgrade S-OFF HTC Desire S with RUU when i encountered on same problem two years ago.

Luckily for me, i managed to enter stock recovery (somehow) and phone boots back after i restored to factory settings (format data and cache). After successful boot, phone remain rooted, so I entered [root] live dmesg lite and uninstalled script (restored init.rc and uninstalled whole app). So this time, i pass with minimal loses (lost only savegames).

I also have this SP Flash Tools from MediaTek, but can somebody make full detailed tutorial how to make backup and restore with SP Flash Tools? I found lot of videos on YouTube but they are all for other MTK SoC's. I found scatter emmc for MK6572 and made backup all NAND up to cache partition (first 721MB IMG), but i dont know what addresses should i rewrite in order to restore that image.

Accidentally deleted download manager

Hey all i have a bit of a problem... i messed up a couple of things on my Alcatel OT Idol Mini (single sim version, Telenor Serbia network).

I deleted the Download Manager android app and now i can't download anything from the play store.

Also i modified the build.prop so it would be a new moto x phone (for Ingress reasons) and lost the backup when i did a factory reset to try to recover the download manager.

I can't update via the Alcatel update tool it say's i have the latest version already.

Can any1 copy the whole build.prop for Alcatel OT Idol mini 6012 single sim version here

and help me with the download manager problem somehow.

Thnx in advance :)

Here are your filez from Telenor SRB (OT-6012X):

Push those files with android debug bridge in /system/app and set perm rw-r--r-- (POSIX: 0644)

build.prop also with android debug bridge in /custpack root, set perm rw-r--r-- (POSIX: 0644)

Warning: If you fail with build.prop (forget to set permissions i.e) your phone wont boot

I managed to extract logo.bin from OEM ROM with SP Flash Tools 3.1344.0.sn212, and to edit it with Logo Builder v. 1.4 here is screenshot.

Now only need to flash part of ROM
[General Questions and Answers] dusnoki:
I did as you asked put the build.prop in the right folder and chmoded it now my phone won't even boot. and doesn't see it on the computer, can't log in with adb anymore. Can someone pls send me a recovery image which i can install via the recovery cause that is the only place i can enter now.

phone is only recognised via the mobile update tool (alcatel) when it's turned on or via the recovery (adb sideload) but i doubt i can do anything in the sideload section.

I managed to load adb when i rooted it with MTK droid tools then i replaced the build.prop with the one you gave me and now even on the boot up screen doesn't see the phone as connected.

Pls help me I'm desperate :(
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
That is build.prop from my phone i am using it right now! Did you tried to edit it with windows tools (notepad, wordpad) they can cause problems with newline characters?

I konw it does not have much sense, but did you tried to restart factory defaults from recovery?

MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt | MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.new.txt (eMMC Scatter for SP Flash Tools, generated form Alcatel OneTouch IDOL Mini Telenor SRB (OT-6012X) with MTK Droid Tools. Do not use NEW scatter file with SP Flash Tools v3, use regular instead)

MTK USB Drivers v0.8 (All) (refer to: http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/bb/?8379)

Logo Builder v1.4 (refer to: https://sites.google.com/site/kadanutilities/home/logobuilder-en)

1ST SACRED RULE: MAKE FULL BACKUP WITH SP Flash Tools BEFORE EVEN THINK ABOUT FLASHING ANYTHING!

* Do not flash preloader.bin unless you exactly know what you are after for! If you fail with preloader (i.e flash wrong preloader.bin), you phone will become permabrick, only hope is to find fine service with JTAG equipment and servicer who know where testpoints are, but they are very rare those days, in regular services people will prolly try to change whole MOBO at your expense.

** system.img and custpack2.img are taken from Telenor SRB ROOTED (with Farmroot 1.8.1 - boromir exploit), with latest BusyBox and all Bloatware frozen/disabled, but they can be reverted back to stock easily.
