[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] ISCO23:
I sent them an email:

Dear Alcatel Support,

I have a question. Will there be an update to Android 4.4 or Android 5.0 for Pop C7 devices? I sent an email a couple of months ago and I was promised that there would be an update. However the update never came. I was naturally disappointed with this. I'm hoping to get an answer soon.

Kind regards,

Their answer was....:

Dear valued customer,

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

We have a plan to upgrade ONE TOUCH POP C7 to higher Android OS which has been under development. As we have many ONE TOUCH POP C7 shipment to different regions around the world and each shipment will be with different Cu like 7040D-2XKSKH1, 7040D-2XKSKH2, etc, we will start to upgrade ONE TOUCH POP C7 to to higher OS from one Cu to another.So not all ONE TOUCH POP C7 will be upgraded at the same time. And we can't tell definite day for your ONE TOUCH POP C7.

Please upgrade your phone with one touch upgrade which can be downloaded from the following website later:

You can also refer to the following FAQ to upgrade your phone:

Choose "POP C7" as model and refer the first Q&A;How can I use System Updates to make phone upgrade?

If your phone Android OS version isn't updated after the upgrade, then it means your phone doesn't support Android OS upgrade at the moment.

Have a wonderful day.

ALCATEL ONETOUCH Thanks for being part of the Alcatel Onetouch community.

We guarantee our customer satisfaction in all our products and services.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's probably gonna take months considering we were already promised one before the end of 2014.

Could someone give me a full dump or a preloader dump of a 7041X-2VDES1 from Vodafone Spain ?

It is to try to repair a bad flash.

thanks
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
check this it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTqZXJe0MsM

but as ALWAYS said over and over dont touch pre-loader or mobile_info partition unless you already on a brick

if the id is that important to you there is a way to change it to that 2VDES1

only need that to OTA really

hope it helps
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
Look for the post of CableCrasher, he uploaded a modified pre-loader as long as ur main board Yaris_XL is and not Yaris _XXL you should be good to go from there. For 2 days a go helped a fellow spannish FB'er with a Hardbricked ( so he thought ) Alcatel 7040D with the same preloader and stuff. Just use the scatterfile provided. And make sure the preloader is marked and you choose the correct recovery. So not the stock one, wich also is in the download. Hope it helps :good:

Good luck, if it doesnt work. Im open for questions but i dont always have an anwser.

Post NMBR. : #152

*** EDIT *** ADMIN? Is there a way to upload the files to XDA? I see that CableCrasher removed the link, and i do have a link to my dropbox but idont want to have that link running around the internet. As you catch my drift, and in my oppinnion saved 3 Alcatels allready , its valuable package and shouldnt go to waste, and it would be great if more ppl could benefit from it.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CVAngelo:
Hey Rick,

You're right. Those files are critical to owners of the 7040/1 series! I just realized that I didn't even download CableCrasher's files and I may need them someday!

You can definitely post attachments when you are writing a reply or posting a message to the forum. Use the paper-clip icon in the menu bar at the top of the message.. It's on the immediate right of the smiley face. It could be the case that only after you've posted so many responses in the forum that you get to use the paper-clip icon.

Go ahead and try to post them. but If you can't, just send them to me and I'd be happy to post them up!

Hahahaha. I'm having a problem with my personal Pop C7 7040D. And I can't solve it! HELP!

It's rebooting. It's not stuck in a bootloop or anything like that. That I can solve easily. In this case it's just randomly rebooting. I think it started when I updated the latest version of Viber. But I'm not sure. And it does NOT happen when I'm disconnected from the internet. Only when I'm connected.

I've already cleared my Dalvik cache, reformatted the regular cache, rebooted, pulled the battery, cleared the application cache of ALL my apps, pulled the SD card, and pulled the SIM cards. I've tried everything short of a factory reset which is something I refuse to do at this point because that's just a pain to get my phone back to where it was (I don't trust my system backup because it may have this issue saved in the backup and will simply restore the problem).

How do you source/identify a specific problem in the Android system? Is there a way to turn on some sort of tracking log so I can see what was the last thing that happened just before it reboots? I have OS Monitor installed and it has a logcat feature but I have never used it. I will try to capture the logcat.

Any other ideas anyone?

Hi all, a quick message from CableCrasher about the link, as i can see the link is still up, indeed in post #152. I'm in the middle of some stressfull events, of which i will spare you the details ;) but i will be joining XDA again soon.

I'm glad i helped you all with the preloader :)

Update:

I installed CM12.1 this afternoon, looks nice, works smooth, but the sd-card bug is very frustrating, heating up of the device, and a new bug (is it?): When switching to USB charge only, while connected to the laptop (running Linux, but i don't know if that is a contributing factor). it isn't possible in any way to switch back to MTP/Camera. The options that are available are just saying "USB is disconnected" (while it is not)

Hi there,

I have install a new firmaware from a youtube video (title:Stock Rom Alcatel Pop C7 - Firmware Original Flasheable - Jelly Bean 4.2.2) and my GPS stop working, i wont capture any signal.. What can i do?
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
search for epo fix or use mtk uncle tools

you can fix that with mobile uncle tools if there is also videos on youtube on how to do that

that assuming you flashed the right rom and you are doing it outside on the streat
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] Joantunes92:
I had already use uncle tools but i doesnt work.. And i just dont know what else e can do..
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
what model is it? and what JB did you flash in it?

the only other option is try flash stock KK v3 or V4 its the one rom i know that works on all C7 models

you have to do it with sp flash tool
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CableCrasher:
I was just thinking, what if the SDCard issue in CM12.1 isn't a bug at all, but a feature that is just not there because it is removed from Lollipop?

Or a kernel issue maybe? [MENTION=235359]rictec[/MENTION] , i see that you used the Wiko Darkmoon as a base for the C7. Is the kernel usable too for the C7, or am i talking nonsense now? :p
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
nop kernel is device especific as usual

i have no idea what sdcard issue you are referring to..if the the move apps to sd card no that wont work you need link2sd

only removed feature from the rom is the Ipod service that is what makes the animation when phone if of charging

hope that helps

Hello guys, recently bough a C7 7041x and i've put it already with the KK and the new CWM ported by rictec, now i really wanted to now from you guys, what is the best rom with less bugs, and most stable, doesnt matter what it looks like, since its a performance rom.. thanks! :D
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOL5Ol4TxKo its in the discription. Its first in spanish but almost all the roms support multiple languages. Some only English and Chinese symbols. Using Stock V4 KitKat my self with so far no bugs.

Greetings.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

I think what CableCrasher is refering to is the symbol in the systray u get with a stripe true it, wish looks like ur SD card is corrupted. Recently installed the Galaxy S6 rom and this one came with the error that i had to format my SD card. Clearly a bug because if you sellect music or something else from the SD card it just works fine. Its just enoying to have the message because it gives the inpression you dont have a smooth running phone. And im not planning to format my SD while all other roms i tryd ( 42 and counting ) didnt have the SD card error. A lot of other bugs in difrent roms sure. But not the SD card.

Greetings

Rick,

Question on my behalve. As i allready explained i tryd a lot of roms some flashed with SPFlash but the most with CWM 5..5.x Jellybeans, KitKat, Lolipop but sadly they almost all have some miner bugs. Some wont care, i do thats why i switch so much. But now there is a funny thing. Usualy i can bring my phone back to stock using the Mobile Upgrade tool provided by Alcatel. But somehow it now shows me the error that it cant read critical system files and i have to pull batery and try again.... Euhm i have a rom running on my 7041x and i guess there has to be critical system files otherwise it wouldnt work or am i missing something?

Greetings Rick
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
Focus on a subject

hello

please focus on a subject or on you problem you dont have to answer someelse old problems the sdcard issue is solved its just the rom saying you dont have a second sim card

Now your problem you should check both the sdcard fat system and the internal ext4 partitions as with all rom changing you filesystems can get corrupted and stop working as they should

check if the /cutspack partition is ok you can even reflash it with kitkat stock file i had that problem and had to do both this things

hope that helps
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
Thnx Rictec didnt know it was already solved :) Thnx for the Dolby Atmos also great job. Anny ho, im going to sound like an idiot ( if i already didnt haha ) But check the SD card with what? Windows? Just like i sayd stupid question. And yes i allready flashed Stock V4 Kitkat again but no result :(

Greetings

Rick
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
yep its vfat

yep windows will do its a vfat filesystem or fat32 if you want ;)
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:

***EDIT*** I put the SD card into my BlackBerry there i could choose to scan the SD Card but there are no problems detected....
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
no errors? i cant read that language lol still some or any error on the card were fixed and dont show up there now copy the rom back to the card and test

Hi, botloader mode for 7041D model? How?

Thx.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] dikkie1:
Hi. I rooted my 7041X with RootGenius_v2.4.1.

Then flashed cwm_recovery.img(rua1 CWM v5.5.0.4)with mobileuncle tools.

then tried to flash STOCK V4 kitkat, which resulted in a bootloop.

Also tried to flash a lollipop ROM, (which i know now can not be done from jellybean), which also bootlooped.

I did manage to flash a AOSP JB ROM, which works fine and stable.

The CWM i use now is probably not kitkat compatible or something like that.

Now when i try to flash STOCK v4 kitkat i get a "error status 7?" right after flashing. This has to to with a not compatible ROM?

This is the one i try to flash:https://mega.nz/#!LRowyYAY!hAHo1zmw1pL3raISr0clDrMsoa2FXdSvVAiFPEyTLKA.

Whenever i flash another CWM with mobileuncle tools(cwm_recovery_4.4 or carliv) i get a bootloop, so i flashed CWM v5.5.0.4 back.

I would like to have STOCK kitkat.

What am i doing wrong.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
Try flashing the TWRP rictec ported a few posts back. CWM recovery 4.4 should work try flashing it with SPflash tools. Hope it helps.

Greetings

If all this does not help you, you can always use the preloader CableCrasher has ported here. And choose the recovery you would like to use. Dont forget to use the scatterfile provided by Cable Crasher or u will get a DTM or DROM error.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] dikkie1:
SP flash tools did the trick. Got all the files from this manual:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hXKFwgBh6E.

I got a DROM error, formatted the device except bootloader, and then flashed the ROM.

Happy. . . . .
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
Nice :) Happy it worked for you.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
Just cant get it to work Rictec, my internal phone storage can not be tested by windows. It just doesnt give me the option to do so. Anny suggestions? Diffrent rom?

*** Edit *** I usualy flashe the roms with CWM also the Kitkat Stock rom im running right now. Would it make a difrence if i flashed the rom with SPFlash tools.. Just thinking out loud.

Greetings
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
some diference but not that big one

SP flash tool can format your phone and create the partitions that are on the scatter file but to simple flash a new rom any recovery will do it
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] BoBo Ricky NL:
Thnx rictec for the information, flashed the rom 2 times. With spflash and cwm still upgrade tool refuses to bring it back to stock. So the kk stock v4 is not proper for Windows to scan the sd or tel memory. You know a rom that is?

Maybe p.m. CableCrasher. In the p.m.'s we sended to each other he mentioned wanting to make some kind of tutorial on how to compile these things. But he is verry bussy with work and his kid. All respect for that, so he didnt had the time to explain it to me because lets face it if i was that good i wouldnt have formated my pre-loader in the first place LoL. So its not something for lets say respectivly "Noobs" now i see your name popup everyware Rictec ( Ricardo ?)and thnx for the great ROM's allready ported by you and vavio etc. All ready am a member of alcatel c7 official facebook. But on topic, maybe he can explain it to you better then to me, because he doesnt have to tell me where he is talking about, had to google preloader first before i knew what it was. So that's realy time consuming and thats something he doesnt have to much of. Sencondly he found the source code for the yaris_xl mainboard and made compiled a preloader from the source code he found on www. sourceforge.net.

Greetings

Rick
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] rictec:
yep my first name is Ricardo ;) i look at all those sources they put on sourceforge most wont compile ...so i wonder

but yes our device as that yaris board so does a lot of other one ..i think alcatel love the yaris name

Hey guys,

My phone is hard-bricked (I think?).

So at first it wouldn't start up after restoring a backup in the recovery. I could reboot in recovery, but there was nothing useful I could do, so I flashed the KitKat-Rom using SP-Flash Tools. After that, my phone didn't boot at all. Pressing the power button didn't do anything.

The only thing I can do now, is use SP-Flash Tools.

I tried reflashing a rom the KitKat Rom multiple times, didn't work :(

When I use the Mobile-Upgrade Tool, it says "You phone has the latest software [...]".

Can I somehow force Mobile Upgrade to flash the rom?

Is there any other way to come out of this mess, or is my phone now just a bunch of plastic?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Update:

I was able to flash the KitKat Rom, allowing the device to boot. It boots and even shows the setup wizard, but crashes after a few seconds amd then restarts. I can get into recovery, but the backups I made don't work: They start, but they stop while "restoring system", saying "Error while restoring to system!". Can anybody help me on this?
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] mapleTree:
Hello again!

Seems like I am just too stupid for this world. I put spaces into my backup names, causing them to abort at /system. Anyway, I renamed them via adb and unbricked my phone now!:D

[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] boesboes-14:
change recovery with adb

If you want to change recovery with adb, try this:

4) Push cwm recovery .img file with $ adb push /path/to/recovery.img /data/local

5) Login to the phone with $ adb shell

6) You should logged as root ('#' at the end of line) else run $ su. Run # dd if=/data/local/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery

7) Run # reboot recovery

8) You are in cwm recovery

I myself have another problem. Phone is stuck at boot.

I had TWRP recovery but when trying to install new rom "couldn't mount sdcard".

Then I tried flashing new rom with SPFlashTools --> "enable DRAM failed".

Then I tried to change recovery to CWM, but since these darn alcatels don't allow recovery flashing I retried changing the recovery

same way I got twrp (adb method above).

Problem now is that it doesn't boot in recovery anymore and when I try to use adb shell, I get the following message :

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) nRet(-1) -

Without the use of shell, how can I replace recovery.img in /dev/recovery?
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CVAngelo:
Had you installed Busybox on your rooted phone? If you did not, you may be missing some Linux commands.

Have you tried SP Flash tool to flash your phone? When you're stuck at the boot logo, it's often the case that you've got a corrupted boot image or a corrupted/improperly modified CUSTPACK segment. First reflash the stock custpack segment back onto the phone from your backup. If that doesn't work, reflash the boot image.

If all else fails, try flashing your phone back to pure stock using the Mobile Upgrade S software which you can download from Alcatel's official website. Once you're back to stock, you can go from there.

My suggestion for changing the recovery in Alcatels, after you've rooted it and installed Busybox, is to download and install FLASHIFY from the Play Store. It's the fastest and most user friendly method for flashing a new recovery (or boot image) to a working Alcatel.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] boesboes-14:
Thanks!

You were right.

SP flash tool worked eventually.

Had all kind of errors like DRAM Enable FAILED and read that it had to be a wrong ROM. Despite my stubbornness I tried another one that worked immediately and after flashing everything worked fine!

I was lucky to find one that fit the PMT on my phone. Another way to learn that backups are the way to go.

Will now install flashify thanks!

hello to all comunity users

one question , for this model

found a picture to make " test point" for this model???

my phone is completly bricked

not recognized for computer

:(

only presend a light

thanks.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CVAngelo:
Completely unclear what you said. Only thing I understood was that your phone is bricked. How did you brick it? Something to do with "test point"? I have no idea what that is.

Anyway. So try using the Mobile Upgrade S software which you will find on the Alcatel website. If it can see your phone, it will unbrick it.

Or if you have a backup of the ROM from SP Flash (the ROM_0 file), you can perform a direct memory write to the phone. This can even wake it from a very deep slumber.

[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] CVAngelo:
If the phone shows the power light, then it is not hard bricked. It is soft bricked and you can recover it.

Try to hold the power UP button BEFORE you plug the USB cable to the phone when you are using Mobile Upgrade S. If that does not work, then also hold down the power button. You may yet have luck.

How did you brick the phone? You never gave a reply to this question. If you say how you did it, perhaps I may know if you wiped out the preloader which means you won't have the correct driver loaded when the phone is connected to the computer.
