Living with Alarm? [One touch idol mini 6012D dual sim]

Hello, I have a weird situation and need a good advice - in short

I have this bricked phone with seemingly a ruined bootloader (no logo, no recovery, only a darkish screen).

BUT - it boots correctly from poweroff, when the Alarm rings. Luckily I had an alarm at 8 in the morning. :)

Would it be safe trying to root it? [to then try to restore some partitions?]

I was wondering - if rooting writes a brand new bootloader then it could even rescue it - if it relies on the normal bootloader, then probably it could even not work or be dangerous .. [my understanding of the rooting or the role of the different partitions is admittedly limited.]

The full story is as follows: one day the phone, instead of doing fastboot, starts to bootloop.

So - I entered recovery and did factory reset, with no change. So in recovery I also found backup and restore, and did both of them.

Unfortuately, "restore" just bricked it hard immediately. I was about to send the phone back to factory :( but the morning after it came to life at the alarm. Since that day on, I live with alarms: if the phone turns off in my pocket by accident, I have alarms all along the day to turn it back on :eek:

Any help appreciated - and thanks a lot in advance!

Fabrizio

[I also have a second identical phone unbricked & unrooted... could I then just try to clone (dd) the boot partitions??? ]

No go. it keeps giving an error.

I found a scatter file for MTK6572 i put it in flash tool but when i click download it does nothing.

One question as i don't do this in a while. I can't remeber if i can flash .rar files or if it has to be specifically .zip, also i converted a .rar file of the flashable original ROM to .zip in 7z and when i try to flash it in TWRP gives an error.

I also try in MTK Droid Tools to install a CWM Recovery, i use the boot image and then the recovery it flashes with no erros but when i turn the phone on it's again TWRP.

This is not allways true, in my country they don't give you a new phone, they change the touchscreen which is a better fix I think because original touchscreen is very faulty (and the fixed touchscreen looks different from the original).

Idol Mini, boot and recovery won't work

Hey there,

i have a big problem with my Idol Mini. I installed Xposed Framework and three modules and now my phone won't boot. The animated Alcatel Logo appears and loops. I also don't get into recovery mode by pressing power+volume up or down.

I read that recovery mode only works when the quick boot is off which i set before rebooting.

I'm thankful for every idea!

Hey guys long time xda user but new alcatel idol touch mini user here. I looked at most of your comments and you said that your phone model is 6012X or 6012D.

Hi guys, I'm having an issue with my idol mini. It's a 6012e (dual sim variant), I rooted it and flashed cwm but the problem is when i press choose .zip from sd card it says E:/Can't mount /sdcard/. I suspect that maybe its because the dual sim variant only has an internal sd and doesn't support external sd cards. I need your help guys or even better if there is a twrp recovery compatible with 6012e because I searched this forum and only found ones for 6012x and 6012d. Thanks in Advance :)

I have Alcatel OT 6012A. This is my 3rd one (cracked screen on one and bad headphone jack on another one). Previous 2 were rooted with framaroot with no issues at all. This one, which is the same model, does not seem to want to be rooted (error 9 with both exploits shown). I also tried eroot and it gets to 3rd check mark, but it does not do the final one. I tried TR also, and it said "device not supported".

Current firmware version is shown as 4.2.2-03002. I do not have old Idols any more so I cannot check if they had the same firmware version. Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Device: T-Mobile - Alcatel One Touch Idol Mini 6012X

I loaded rom via SP Flash tools.

It will start reporting lots of errors during the boot and phone is unusable. (Not possible to use play store or anything else.)

TWARP was replaced with CWM.

I have twarp backups only.

Someone should point me how to install TWARP over CWM.

(Via CWM or ODIN or ADB.)

Or if I can download from somewhere stock rom that can be loaded via CWM.

Hello people!

6012D, rooted, with TWRP 2.4.1.0 and when i want to backup, i have a standard message "unable to mount sdcard".
