TWRP Backup 01001

I am sharing my TWRP backup for OT-6012X. It is based on Stock odexed 01001 ROM but rooted and has some minor improvements:

recovery - latest fixed TWRP 2.4.1.0

boot - fixed default.prop for adb and fastboot

custpack - replaced hosts for adaway and android bootanimation.zip

system - rooted, latest busybox, removed recovery protection, enabled init.d support, edited /system/etc/gps.conf for Serbia ntp for faster sattelite aquire. If you are not near Serbia, you may concider deleting that file

Download and extract content of this archive into this directory:

/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/Alcatel_6012X_MT6572/OT-6012X

Afterwards, boot into TWRP and restore from this backup called OT-6012X. If you can't boot in TWRP, but yet You are somehow sure you have TWRP installed, than follow this procedure. Once restore is done, format /data and /cache.

If you are prompted to enter PIN for root access, enter code 3002. This can be disablet in SuperSU Pro app settings.

hello

is it possible to apply the update.zip 01015 with this backup ?
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
No. Your update 01015 is exclusively made for users who are on stock Orange ROM, with very specific build 01011, stock recovery all all changing files must be stock.

If anybody here has 01015 installed, please contact me via PM, I need that backup so I can start working on custom ROM with build 01015.

What I can confirm to him is that if there will appear the update of Android's version waited by our clients, the terminal will inform him of that should have received a notification Android's version to update it to the últmia.

I called TCL tech support tens of times, and got straight answer that OT-6012X WILL NOT get an major update. Beside this, all know MT6572 devices introduced so far EOL with 4.2.2 and MediaTek wont make an exception :( What we got from TCL (alcatel) is just minor updates.

I need whole backup from ROM which have already installed all updates, including latest 01015.

#CyberianIce Thank you very much! .. I finally managed to restore your backup and boot my device. Everything is working and I might say it works a little bit snappier than before, it may be just my impression. It's nice to get rid of the Orange bloatware and the stock launcher it's more appealing.

It is code for root access. I set it up for security reasons. Try entering: 3002

You can change it or disable in SuperSU PRO app settings.

You can not use whole img backup to restore from another phone because it contain unit specific nvram. You can only restore certain partitions with SP Flash Tools, I already uploaded that IMGs look on paged 11, 12 or 13. If you deleted protected partitions or nvram, you wont be able to restore baseband (i.e if you used not-fixed TWRP), you have big problem...

[General Questions and Answers] paul.d051990:
Backup roms for Alcatel Idol Mini/6012X/Orange Hiro/ Le shosh etc

Thanks to CyberianIce, who has provided the files, I have managed to install the original firmware on my phone, an branded Orange Hiro. My personal oppinion about the original rom is as follows : the rom feels lighter, faster, fresh interface, no huge changes in the SystemUI, only some icons and images here and there. In Antutu benchmark, I got a score of 11170. A good score to be honest. So, recap : original firmware, ANDROID VR. 4.2.2, changed interface, more buttons in status bar, ALCATEL interface. Bugs, contact widget doesn't seem to work at all, if I set a specific contact, it won't dial or sms the contact, don't know why, ain't interested. For ROMANIAN users, there is no ROMANIAN language.

With the original ORANGE firmware, stock android 4.2.2, the rom is simple, plain, good ol' android. Not so many buttons in status bar menu, after deleting some stupid apk's from orange, that I or other user will use, the rom got smoother, faster, obtaining a benchmark in ANTUTU of 10970. The lockscreen on the ALCATEL firmware has some usefull shortcuts, like dialer, sms and camera, the stock android orange firmware, does not. This stock firmware comes with a weather widget from orange, very annoying, doesn't update right, doesn't display the correct weather, it's useless, good for nothing, but...it can be replaced with any other custom widget. The contact widget works correctly, has orange gestures, little usefull app, and for ROMANIAN users, has ROMANIAN language.

These being said, below you have the links to the firmwares, the ALCATEL and STOCK ORANGE one. In case of a mistake, don't forget to backup before you try something. If you want to change your current firmware, the files are provided below.

For this, follow this tutorial.

Download recovery image, provided by CyberianIce, TWRP fixed by him, and unrar. http://www.fileshare.ro/e30303974

After downloading and puting the recovery image on the root of your sd card, install MobileUncle app from Play store. Go to the app and select update recovery, after this select the image, wait, press ok for install, and after this, reboot to recovery to make sure it works.

Make a backup of your own rom, to make sure you can revert tot the old rom in case something goes wrong.

After downloading the desired rom, unrar and place the content in the folder TWRP/backup/alcatel 6012X on your sd card.

All of the above being done, enter recovery mode by holding VOLUME+ and Power button. After the phone starts release the power button and continue to hold VOLUME+ untill you have entered recovery. After this, access, restore menu, alcatel 6012X and select the rom you copied.

Wait untill the restore is finished and perform a factory reset, data and cache wipe.

And finally, reboot the phone in to system and wait for it to start, the first startup will take a bit longer, don't worry, wait, after the phone has finished loading, perform your setup and enjoy.

Hope this is usefull to you, cheers!

Links removed, someone will have to post the roms !

Just make a backup of your current rom, as I said in the tutorial, after the backup is complete, the folder will appera automatically. After that folllow the rest of the tutorial.

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Don't panic, do as I say. If the phone is on, turn it off by holding the power butoon untill it shuts down and vibrates. After this connect it to charger. The battery should appera and the screen will go off. Now, you can boot in recovery by pressing and holding the volume+ button and the power butoon together, when the screen lights up release the power butron, but keep pressing the volume+ button till you enter recovery. After this, perform a factory reset and the phone wil revers to the standard settings and work again.

Stock alcatel ROM I posted is not debloated, it can be much faster and better, you need to tweak it a little bit more. And it is odexed. Which build is orange your rom? 01015 or 01011?

I could port TWRP for 6012D but i dont have that device and my PC is dead, so it could be tricky.

My HDD on PC is dead. I dont have money for new atm, but when i find new I could try to compile new ROM from AOSP 4.4 and alcatel sources. I can't make promise but it is our best hope for KitKat.

I'm trying to change my network provider to Virgin but reckon this phone's probably locked. I thought there would be a straight forward app with a root, but now I'm not so sure!

[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
1. Enter MTK Engineering Mode by typing *#*#3646633#*#* in Dialer App or via this app and select MTK Settings.

2. Under Telephony tab navigate down and select Simme Lock

3. Select Network personalization

Now you will se if your phone is locked for network or not. If it is locked, only item Unlock is selectable. If you want to unlock it, you must order code for unlock from your operater and enter it. You have 10 attempts if all fail you will freeze BaseBand and phone will not be usable for GSM at all. In other menu you can even lock your phone for certain SIM card (IMSI), so if your phone is stolen it wont be usable even or same network...

I debloated the rom, also the rom backup that I uploaded is debloadet, both Alcatel and Stock Orange. My orange build is 01011, pretty good even I would say. No need for android 4.4, it doesn't bring that much upgrade to the system. I would like though to have a custom kernel for better performance and power management. I'm more interested in some UI mods than a custom rom. Sorry for my late answer, I was at work at the time. Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] slvjpn:
paul, have you installed TWRP, or have you debloated the rom and installed it as a backup from stock recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
4.4 has super-ultra-giga-mega-advanced memory management and it is optimised for devices with 512MB ram, unlike JB. People said that KitKat works as twice as fast and responcive compared to JB on entry level devices as ours.

On the other side, 4.2 is heavier than 4.1 and do not bring anything so amasing but multiuser support for tablets.

Answer

Yes, TWRP is installed, latest version by CyberianIce, the rom is debloated, all unnecessary apps have been removed, only the safe ones, the key modules aren't uninstalled, the rom is stable, fast and recommended as a daily driver. Sorry for my late answer I was at work.

The rom is a backup from TWRP, not from stock recovery, as the last mentioned doesn't allow such options. You can install it by following the tutorial that I posted.

TWRP not working...

Hi! I tried TWRP (the one that CyberianIce posted), but I can't get it to work. Each time I enter recovery, I get a bunch of error lines:

E:Unable to locate internal storage partition.

E:Mount: Unable to find partition for patch 'emmc'...

E:Unable to mount 'sdcard'

Because of this, I can't backup my ROM... Does anybody have a solution? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
It is made only for devices with SD CARD.
[General Questions and Answers] Andrew-X:
TWRP not working...

I know! That is the problem... I do have a Sd Card inserted (16 GB), but I still get this error. If I go to storage, in Android Settings, the card is successfully detected as /sdcard, without me doing any change. (inserting or ejecting the sd card)

I have an Orange Hiro, running on version 01010. I've seen other people with identical phones use the recovery and manage to successfully backup their ROMs.

EDIT: I found what the problem is: the Sd Card is named "sdcard0", while the Internal storage is named "sdcard1", but your recovery tries to mount "sdcard", not "sdcard0".

Can you please edit this for me in TWRP, so I can use the recovery? Of course, if you want and have the time to do that :) Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Andrew-X:
Sorry for asking, but have you read what i have written before? I have edited one of the posts.

"I found what the problem is: the Sd Card partition is named "sdcard0", while the Internal storage is named "sdcard1", but your recovery tries to mount "sdcard", not "sdcard0". "

I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you. Basically, I'm asking if you could modify "/sdcard" into "/sdcard0" in the recovery for me. (and those who also have the same problem.)

Don't get me wrong. I not trying to offend you or something. I'm just asking. :)
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Yes, i have, but mount point you see from android is different than one that you can see in recovery and they have nothing in common. Recovery subsystem is standalone linux system with separate kernel and root fs.

In recovery there is no such folder/mount point as /sdcard0 it is always /sdcard. I perfectly know what you are saying but you dont understund how recovery works.

My sdcard in android is same as yours /sdcard0 but in recovery is always /sdcard (without numeration)

Addendum: Sorry if sound patronizing, I did not mean to offend You.
[General Questions and Answers] Andrew-X:
Oh... I understand now. Thank you very much! So, other than trying to flash the recovery again, is there something else that i could try?
[General Questions and Answers] CyberianIce:
Maybe your sdcard is to large or wrong filesystem format?! Tried another card?! Try to format in FAT32?
[General Questions and Answers] Andrew-X:
I'm using a 16GB sd card. I formatted it using "Format SD" card in stock Android Settings. Let me try installing the recovery again, formatting the sd card using windows format utility or use another sd card if none of these work.
