Stock FActory BAckup - pop D5

Hi Friend,

Thanks for trying to Help.

I suggest you do this.

1. root your device - search the web for instruction

2. back up your entire app and data -you can use mobogenie to do that

3. factory reset your device - so you will have flashable factory back up

4.after reverting to factory setting.. make a stock back up with MTk..

Good Luck - I hope you can successfully back it up.

Please upload if you're successful to help others.

I've read alot of articles and basically this phone is weird. Alcatel messed with roms and made it nearly impossible edit properly.

That said I will not be messing with it since I got GS6. It's just my backup phone now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android General] judaeyukie@hotmail.com:
Yeah this phone is the hardest phone to unbrick but thanks anyway.

I have my phone running again.
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Lots of blah blah blah on this thread and no-one, no-one has been sensible enough to post a scatter.txt for those of us who have bricked devices! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST THE SCATTER FOR THIS PHONE. Thank you.

EDIT: Found the scatter.txt on a Russian language website! Now for CWM image. It is not to be found anywhere on the web. How am I gonna flash this phone without a custom recovery. NO wonder this phone is so hard to unbrick...there is no help. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post up the CWM image for this phone. I've been searching for two days now and I cannot find this image.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] judaeyukie@hotmail.com:
restoring with cwm most likely will fail for a bricked phone, better to flash the whole firmware with SP FLash Tool and not through custom recovery. (Based on my experience) :)

Firmware for Alcatel OT Pop D5 5038D

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. The phone was soft bricked. It was stuck in a boot loop. I could easily enter recovery. So I didn't need entire firmware, at least that was my thinking. I simply wanted the CWM recovery in place of the stock recovery so I would have more options to deal with the problem (although I did not know what exactly the problem was).

Well I succeeded in flashing the CWM recovery without any problems. I then proceeded to wipe the Dalvik cache and reformat & wipe the regular cache. But it did not solve the problem! The problem turned out to be that someone had messed with the BUILD.PROP file and this put the phone into a bootloop.

I figured it out because I ended up flashing the entire firmware and the phone worked just fine! But the firmware was Rissuian and it did not have the Portuguese language my client originally had on the phone. So I MYSELF went and messed with the build.prop to see if changing the region and language would help. Guess what? It put me RIGHT BACK into the same original bootloop in which I originally found the device! LOL

But I knew that the build.prop file was in the custpack partition. So I simply flashed just the custpack partition and it solved the problem!

For me, the THREE big learnings in all this were:

1. Install a custom recovery and BACKUP your phone FREQUENTLY! This should go without saying.

2. Be careful messing with build.prop...it can easily brick your phone.

3. If your Alcatel phone is stuck in a rapid bootloop, one of the first options is to flash ONLY the custpack partition and see if that solves the probem (if not, flash the system partition).

For anyone who needs it, you can find the entire working ROM with CWM recovery plus scatter for the Alcatel 5038D here:

https://yadi.sk/d/iLGxyRKme39XY

Just be aware that it is the firmware for Russia and has limited languages.

POP D'****ing'5

Guys i am going mad!!

I was updating my pop D5 but smth went wrong and now i'm stuck on android system recovery, if anyone, ANYONE can help me (and others with same issue) with a stock android 4.4.2 rom for POP D5 i would appreciate it Please please if anyone has it post it please !!!
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Can you please clarify what you mean by "updating." How exactly were you "updating" your phone. Tell us exactly what steps you did. Only way we can help is if we have a clear idea of what you're talking about and how you got there.

If you meant you were doing an over-the-air update, then tell us what steps you took and what happened along the way. Normally, you're supposed to do backup your data then do a factory reset and wipe the cache (from recovery) before you OTA your phone so that the update is clean. Did you do those things.

Let us know the details.
[Android General] Jek0ng:
it was a system update from smart suite which is a system app our device, after downloading the update, my phone started updating, patching new apps that was downloaded, then something failed to install. after that my phone reboots and got stucked in recovery mode. after choosing a language and rebooting. it loops.
[Android General] CVAngelo:
You've got to flash a system to your phone to solve the boot loop (and then you can try the OTA update again if its not already part of the system you flash). To flash your system download and run the Mobile Upgrade S from Alcatel. You can download it from here:

http://www.alcatel-mobile.com/global-en/support/product?id=339&model=POP D5

Select the Mobile Upgrade download. Once it's downloaded, unzip it, run the software and follow the directions on-screen.

That's the easiest way to get back to a working system. If you have more experience with flashing phones, take a look at post #44 in this thread.

[Android General] kingVoid:
Hi, i have a 5038D, rooted with KingRoot, no other method worked.

I have been getting a problem that says "carregando iniciador" in my own language (PT) and closes the app in question (pokemon go / google chrome some times).

I dont know why this happens, i have used ramextender already, i thought maybe installing CM12.1 but i see some videos but none explaining which one to download or how to do it. is it so simple no guides are made? Where can i download it for this phone?
[Android General] CVAngelo:
The message you are getting probably has nothing to do with the fact that you rooted with KingRoot. To correct that error, go to Definições > Aplicações and go to the column called Todas. Scroll down to find the app called Iniciador. Click on it and wipe all the data (limpar dados). If that doesn't fix it, then again go to Definições > Aplicações. Click the hard menu button. You should see the option to Reset Application Preferences (repor preferências). Click on it.

You don't need to install CM 12.1 simply to fix an issue with your Alcatel. The simplest way to get rid of nuisance problems is to flash the stock ROM either with SPFT (if you have a backup), or download the Mobile Upgrade S software from the Alcatel website and run it (if you don't have a backup of the stock ROM). Of course, you will lose all your data unless you previously made a backup of your personal data.

Many Alcatel models do not have custom ROM designed for the phone except for the most popular models. And even in those cases, they are not official custom ROMs. Instead, some private user would haze ported the ROM from a different phone to the Alcatel model. So you should not be surprised if CM 12 for the Alcatel 5038D does not exist.
[Android General] Dream75:
please help, I have this phone too my issue was first, all my apps were crashing when I start the phone, but it was completely accessible but unusable, when I wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache partition and tried rebooting, it now ends up in a boot loop, can someone help me with my issue? I am experienced in flashing roms and recoveries in other phones but this phone has limited resources and information I couldn't help myself, how can I fix this boot loop thing? also for additional information, I did not install any custom recoveries and my ROM was unrooted its 100% stock. Thanks and good day!
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Do you have a backup of your stock ROM. If so, flash it with SPFT. If not, download Mobile Upgrade S from the Alcatel website and use it to flash the stock ROM back to your phone.

Make a backup of the stock ROM for future reference.

Flash a custom recovery to your phone (but do not necessarily root it unless you want it rooted). With a custom recovery, you'll be able to wipe the Dalvik cache which sounds like it was possibly corrupted causing all your apps to crash.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sning:
Just a general question, i have no problem with my devices battery life during useage, but whats annoying me is how much battery life i'm losing when the device is "asleep"!

i can lose between 10 and 25% battery when the device is asleep overnight, or while i'm at work.

this isnt a one off, it seems to happen most of the time, so i'm having to charge it every couple of days, rather then once or twice a week.

is this a general problem, or do i need to do a reset.

thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
There are many apps found out there (some need root) that can track down what's eating the battery and or preventing device sleep. Google Search app is probably one of the culprits. I disabled it long ago.

If you're not rooted, try to disable some "bloatware" apps in your device settings > applications. .... If your rooted, freeze apps from self-starting using greenify app or remove with Titanium backup app. Just backup them first ;)

I could go on and on, but at least some pointers where to start. Good luck :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uggers:
Hey all,

I've recently got a refurbished Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) from a reputable supplier and before I start thinking about returning it I wanted to ask about issue when trying to charge it.

When I first used the tablet I had it charged up fully (according to the indicator) and used it for a bit to set up and just try using it, I then just turned of the screen and the next day it was flat and wouldn't start, This doesn't concern me to much as I realise it probably had low power anyway so probably just ran flat.

So I charged it up over night and used it for about 30 minutes - 1hr and turned it off properly this time, The next day though it was flat again, the battery was around 2/3 full.

Its currently on charge now from around 11pm and I'll check again at lunch time today to see where the indicator is, but I wanted to know if there any issues similar to this around.

I've heard that the battery indicator on these aren't really all that accurate and the best way to keep it working is just charge it when ever you are not using it.

It's currently running stock Android 4.4.2 which it updated to after being turned on the first time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniallko:
Just wondering, what do you mean by "flat?" Like its dead? Also, the only advidce i would say is try a battery calibration app.

There's a reg hack for that somewhere, try searching for it. It's basically related to the Regional Settings.

[General Topics] GalaxyWhy:
I'm in the market for a tablet but all the tablets I see that are reasonabley priced and with good specs have 8" screens. Im specifically talking about the Xiaomi Mipad/ Nvidia Shield, which both have great K1 processors and aren't ridiculously priced, unlike the Samsung Tab Pro or Apple iPad Air.

I don't wanna go with the iPad Air because I prefer Android but I do like the 4:3 aspect ratio screen. I also don't particularly wanna go with Samsung either due to the physical buttons but the AMOLED screen is enticing.

So from reading that, what do you guys recommend? Any input is appreciated ?

EDIT:

Ive also been looking at the Chinese tablet market extensively and most from what I can tell are buggy, come with a bloated version of android and have little development scene (I'd wanna be able to root my tablet at the very least). But that's just what I've noticed.

Can i use chromium in 4.2 as native browser
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
AFAIK you can't directly change the native browser ... at least on a stock ROM.

But you can install an alternative browser and set it as default browser.

After installing a new browser, click on a link (URL). There should be a popup dialog asking which browser to use to open the web link.

If you select the browser you prefer and click "Always", this browser will be set as default browser in your system.
