OT 8020D Thai

Thanks for the clarification on rom versions.:good:

So it seems I am stuck to waiting official upgrade for asia, unless I flash a chinese rom...

Are there any change log regarding each build up to 01007? what bug fix or performance improvement?

Hi all ,

I am using One touch hero 8020D and i saw This Thread MIUI Rom For 8020D

http://en.miui.com/thread-7898-1-1.html

**ALCATEL OT HERO 8020D/TCL HERO N3	MIUI V5/3.11.1	DOWNLOAD ROM**

i have question.

1. Has anyone tested this rom?

2. It is stable rom . Cellular / GPS / 3G

3. Can use magenet flip case and work all function

Thank in advance :good:
[Android General] TheDeadCPU:
No accessories like the flip case wake up etc works on it.

No LED clock and all that sadly.
[Android General] ransagy:
I wonder if i want to get the wireless charging cover, etc.

Did any of the other accessories get released? Even though i have a kindle, the eInk cover sounds interesting.
[Android General] izhamkdh:
i'd plan to buy alcatel hero later since my phone HTC sensation XE was stolen.

really hope to see a lot of developer to release custom ROM for this great devices as good as HTC.

i knew MTK is the real issue here.. but then, why not? XDA doesn't allow / support MTK chipsets custom ROM?
[Android General] ransagy:
Judging by the progress of work DrShadow and others here have posted on the MTK FAEA device, It shouldn't be much longer before an MTK device gets a truly open source 3rd party ROM to a decent level. At least, That's how it seems to me.

After such a thing is made, Porting to other MTK devices will be easier, but not immediately achievable, i suppose.

As you might surmise from the dozens of threads about MTK on these forums, It's mostly due to the fact MTK isn't very cooperative - They haven't opened up their codebase as GPL would dictate for a long time - And i believe OEMs are responsible for most of the code we already have. Even that isn't very complete - Their codebase is very old in its standard, Supposedly having roots in Android 1.6 era code, And hacked and patched to work ever since. People are working hard right now to sort out MTK's mess into something workable and up to standard with today's versions.

Just wanna say hi to all hero user

Very quite lately

Will we get kitkat someday?

Finger crossed

Wanna bet? :D
[Android General] ransagy:
Official one? No way.

CM/Omni etc? Probably, they have been making good progress on other MT6589T devices like Oppo R819 etc.
[Android General] fabioff:
did anyone manage to remove the chinese bloatware? I tried to uninstall some apps with titanium but it didn't work...
[Android General] ransagy:
Make sure you aren't removing things that are part of the MTK chipset, there are all sort of services for it there.

For the most part, i just disabled most of the chinese labeled apps and such via the normal App Info screens.
[Android General] raytupang:
I also think it's only a dream

But who knows, TCL been good so far by releasing updated firmware, roughly 1 update per month

I wish we will get official kitkat

I did the cleaning job by manually delete the bloatware

hints: look in system app AND custpack app

Also remember what ransagy said, delete carefully
[Android General] ransagy:
Not really up to TCL - MediaTek just don't have a working 4.4 tree themselves. No MTK device anywhere has.

Google did change their policy lately that they won't certify devices that release with older Android versions if its been 9 months since release, But i doubt MTK cares much about Google certification - As they sell mostly in China where you don't have Google Apps to begin with.

It will mean that some companies like Oppo and Sony might reconsider releasing devices with an MTK chipset for intl. models, But we'll see.

Hi guys, I've got one of these wonderful devices. I would like to ask whether someone has tried the Tcast screen share function and if so, do you have any issues with it.

I tried it on my Toshiba smart TV, but the TV says "could not receive IP" and the connection is lost. I tried Sony smartphone on the TV and it works like a magic.

Does anyone have suggestion as to what might be wrong with the phone?

Thanks
[Android General] TheDeadCPU:
Omni has a working tree for the Oppo R819.

You can buy it on for example Aliexpress.com or here: http://dealsprime.com/tcl-hero-n3-y...1080-1-5ghz-mtk6589t-3g-gps-2gb-ram-13mp.html

As you can see, almost everything MTK related is broken - which is more or less where omni and such are at. This is a start, though. With more work by the good people like xplodwild and drshadow, etc (donate to motivate! ^-^) we'll get there.

Specifically, the hwcomposer is an important milestone to reach.

review

Had for one day, returning.

Good:

- top notch battery life

- perfect calling and real dual SIM with dual 3G (although i hate that type of slot with hole - terrible inpractical when travelling)

- size and weight fanstastic for 6"

- magnetic interface as an idea

Bad:

- obsolete hardware (already 2 grades below todays phones, and soon we will get new Note4, imagine the comparison)

- no accessories available whatsoever (those prototypes were the magnet, but it's on the paper only)

- magnetic interface - not used, no such charger included, no such charger on market, no such car holder on market, no such dock on market, no pico projector, no wireless charging, the LCD cover not so usable, the covers cannot fold to stand position for watching content

- no SD card

- no community, no ROMs, no hacks

- simplest stock ROM I ever saw, taking me back to 2008, nothing enhanced, nothing set for phablet usage (split application's screen), no advanced gestures and smart features (look at fantastic LG's enhancements for example), not much for stylus

- no flash (forget watching tv archive on the nice screen)

This could be the only usable dual sim phablet, but it's burnt into yet-another-chinese clone alike. Recommended only for clone lovers, who got used to empty incapable clones of Note.:eek:

it pop up a message when i try System Update

"Because your device has been detected ROOT, it can not be upgraded"

any one have solution on this issue?

or anyone know where i can get and flash ROM for Hero 8020X??
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Wait!

Can you make dump from your ROM before getting 01004? I can teach you if you don't know how it make.

What's your region?

How many languages has your ROM?

What's product id from box (It looks like 8020X-2AALRU1 for example) ?

Then i will help you to get 01004.
[Android General] sean chong:

Thanks for your useful guide! You are the man!

i've success backup my previous ROM and upgrade to the latest firmware! 01004

was fail in the readback section in Flash tool,

after that only i realize that i need to double click the line in the Readback tab in order to enter file name and the value, the value is same as your case, 0x58780000.

besides that, no more issue when upgrade using Mobile upgrade S.

just wondering if i can root my phone again using the method you provide in this thread?

and in case anything goes wrong with the ROM or while upgrading, how we revert back using the backup file we created earlier?

is it use the SP Flash tool and the Download tab?

thanks again. you really a good guy~ :highfive:

TCL Hero Y910 doesn't work

I was upgrading from my TCL Hero Y910 by TCL Updater S 2.81. But halfway through the process someone took the usb cable. And now my phone is not connecting (on) and even access the CWM. And when I try to update again by TCL Updater 2.81 S again it asks me to wait until he is identifying the device, the minutes are counting but not out of it. What I do?

Thank U.
[Android General] raytupang:
Hi there, want to express my point of view regarding your cons

- no problem for me, since it still up to date. If we want bleeding edge technology, we have to change our phone every 6 month or so, with expensive charge for sure. Very less people can afford that habit

- there are some available : wireless charger, led case, bluetooth phone

- I tend to think that this magnetic is a plus point for this phone. It can be expanded to any future auxiliary. Chinese manufacturer used to upgrade the internal hardware, with same phone shape (ie zopo phones). Hope TCL / Alcatel will update this phone so there will be more goodies

- no SD card solved with otg

- there are some active communities, just Google it

- rom is simple, but I and many user prefer such thing. Regarding the split screen, TCL do have it, it will appear by long pressing the back menu

- we can install flash manually. I used to watch TV stream if my children

Hold the TV remote

This is still great phone for me

Ok. It is easy)

How to make flashable images from dump.

0. Requirements: MtkDroidTools, SP FlashTool, Full Dump (one file)

1. Connect phone to PC, run MtkDroidTools and choose "Make backup from ROM_ FlashTool" (tab "Root/ Backup/ Recovery)

Choose file, then utility will create flashable images.

2. Flashing process is similar as in Idol X: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451831 (do not flash Prealoder ! )

How to post dump at public.

1. Choose following files:

boot.img

custpack2.img

EBR1

EBR2

logo.bin

MBR

mobile_info.img

preloader.bin

secro.img

system.img

uboot.bin

factory_NONmodified_recovery.img

MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt

MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt

boot_patched.img

- this file can have different names

patched_recovery.img

- this file can have different names

2. Pack them into archive and post at file-hosting.

No. It is not valid, cause they are not same. It is possible to make custom ROM from 6040D dump, but why??? I posted Alcatel's Hero ROMs already. Even Alcatel Hero has 01004 version.
[Android General] jjpaul:
Because I need Spanish language. I don't know if there is some ROM with spanish language. Thanks
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:

5[Strogino]: Is there no way to update the firmware with CWM and root without losing everything?
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
Yes. But you need FOTA Update from 01007 to 01010. You can install it manually.
[Android General] fabioff:
ah okay. and that's not out yet, right?
[Android General] ransagy:
I ended up wiping and flashing via CWM, re-rooted with VROOT (ugh, i wish there was a better way) and flashed gapps again.

I had a backup with Helium and tried restoring but that failed (Helium isn't all its cropped up to be, IMO).

So took the hour and re-installed everything the way i liked it :p

My ALcatel 8020D loop forever at Logo screen

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie from HK, I brought a Alcatel Hero 8020D, I rooted it, installed Greenity, Roboot, then it looped forever at the Alcatel logo screen.

I need to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to shut it down.

I went to Alcatel service center and the service charge will be HK$1800 (US$230), so I give up.

I read all posts in this thread but honestly I do not know what to do.

Should I just follow post#2 step by step?

Thanks
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
No.

As i understood, something went wrong and your system/data partition got trash.

Try 1: Wipe data/factory reset

Turn phone off

Then turn on by pressing and holding Power + Volume Up

Choose "wipe data/factory reset" in recovery

Try 2: You should follow post #3 and download Mobile Upgrade S

You can restore your phone with this utility (and will upgrade in some cases) but you will lose all your data (on internal sdcard too)

Hi, When you say 'install it manually' - do you mean install from recovery? My phone is rooted, has CWM recovery , ROM version is -0106.

I've tried to download and install 01010 FOTA update. When tried to install it - it gave warning 'your phone is detected rooted, update may cause failure.', but I went ahead, phone re-booted and went to recovery boot menu saying something like './downloaded/...can't be mounted'

Thanks for any advice
[Android General] 5[Strogino]:
At first, please, post FOTA 01010 from /sdcard/.downloaded. I will add to my collection)

At second, you should install FOTA 01007 (from 01006 to 01007), and then install FOTA 01010. Not sure, but it seems as right way.

CWM-recovery could install any update.zip from any folder (copy FOTA from /sdcard/.downloaded to any other place). Then navigate into that folder and install FOTA.

Notice, if you changed any part of system, update might not install. Look at errors, post them, i will see.

Hello,

I'm newbie in this post.

I'm planning to buy this TCL HERO N3 Y910 $125. It looks like it hasn't other language than Chinese.

Before buying it I want to know the risk. Is it upgradable with the here above ROMs for Multilangual and other features?

Or I may buy this TCL HERO Y910 $201 or Alcatel HERO N Y910 $340 which are Multilangual.

I'll appreciate your advices
[Android General] raytupang:
beware, so many fraud around

I can make sure that currently the price is still higher than 300usd

Lower than that just go away, too suspicious

Aliexpress is very useful, but you have to know how to sort the right store and how to protect your payment
[Android General] coukou:
TNX raytupang for the advise.

Anyway, I'm still undecided, as it has only ROM 16 GB and no TF card available, isn't skimp? Any chance upgrading to 32 GB?

Best Regards
[Android General] raytupang:
It is 16gb internal memory (cmiiw), but if you need you can use external memory card because this phone has USB on the go feature

BTW, if the legit price is >300usd, will you still buy this phone now?

Can you share why you choose this phone these days?

Just curious

[Android General] coukou:
Hello,

@raytupang: It does not interest me to argue with you. Hope, you will allow me to have a diferent opinion.

I do not watch much spending when necessary. So why spend more.

However, I choose ZOPO ZP998 for its technical performance (Octa Core, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, TF card, NFC...), and the particularly bright screen just 5.5", I think 6" is too big for a smartphone. This is only my opinion.
