Thanks

NOW MY PART

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

PLEASE NOTE THAT MY PHONE IS OT-918D

I didn't even know what was the imei of the phone was or the phone model but used SP-FLASH tool with many different versions of scatter files untill I came across the one that was used for installing recovery on ot-918 from a different website.

I even got to the point that the phone wouldn't come on after trying different models of the 918, but luckily usb worked.

WHAT YOU NEED

SP_Flash_Tool

One Touch Upgrade from Alcatel site

Scatter Files in the zip file below.

FILES TO USE ON THE SP-FLASH TOOL:

MT6573_Android_scatter_2_3_5_OT_918.txt

AND TICK THIS FILES :

dsp_bl

preloader

pro_info

NOTE: sometimes you have to press and hold the center button for the phone to be detected in order to accomplish the above procedure. Just make sure you remove the battery each time you try..

Then open the Alcatel Upgrade tool , this time it won't tell you that your phone is already up-todate. then proceed with the upgrade.

NB:MAKE SURE YOU USE A LOWER ANDROID VERSION E.G 2.3.5 SCATTER FILE OR ELSE ALCATE UPGRADE WILL SAY PHONE ALREADY UP TO DATE.

This applies to even a phone that won't come on(Mine was dead and couldnt come on only charging, and after fixing it, I discover that I had spoiled the display fiber since the phone was not displaying anything.)

Unfortunately I had to do the whole thing from a dead screen after pulling it apart prior to unbricking it.

You can find your serial number and phone model in the Alcatel upgrade file called otus_log.txt

Incase mine was in C:\ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0\otus_log

I think that this method might work on all Alcatel MT65xx Phones.

But now that the phone works I have to get a new display. :)

918 Is dual sim !

After puling apart my phone which I have always assumed to be single sim(This apparently caused alot of confusion as to which Rom to use), I realize a second Sim card slot right beneath the top slot although it's hidden and not accessible if you replace the chasis , so you guys might want to try a possible second simcard for you 918 phones, that I suppose is the reason why some guys could install dual sim roms and fail to access fast speed since it's using the secondary sim card, I haven't tested it since I have not acquired the screen yet.

You know,usb drivers dont work on Windows 8.1. Should I realy install Windows 8?or can ı fix another way?

i modified my platform.xml to enable w/r access for the sdcard a few months back.

there was a copy of the original, er, 'somewhere' but i cant find it now.

i have removed the line added i in before but the 4.4.4 ota update is failing because of platform.xml.

anyone have a stock unmodified platform.xml they could upload here or pm?

my M8 is a dual sim version if that makes any difference.

thanks.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonvfr:
Solved?

Did you solve the problem? I have exactly the same issue . . .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
Hi,

not exactly. but i am on 4.4.4

i was toying with the idea of winding back to stock using nandroid, rooting and copying out platform.xml, then having another go at OTA...

but, i thought i might as well give MaximusHD 4.4.4 for dual sim a go as i was going to wipe anyway.

i flashed TWRP latest 2.8.1 and updated firmware (link is on Maximus page) and then ROM.

so thats where i am now and happy with the rom.

100% stable, no issues noticed at all and aroma removed some bloat for me as i installed.

no need to go back now.

i will wait for lollipop from HTC and all those custom roms for M8 dual sim to try out (er, joke)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonvfr:
Thanks. As I am rooted, with TWRP, but S-ON, I think I can't flash the new firmware. Or am I wrong on that?

I have nandroid backup from my original stock, so could go back to that and re-lock and then do the OTA, but it's a long slow way of getting to 4.4.4!

An alternative would be Cyanogenmod - but although CM11 supports multi-sim phones I can find nothing clear about whether the official builds support the M8 dual-sim.

Finding the M8 ROM situation frustrating after messing around endlessly with custom ROMs on Acer dual sim phone . . . .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
you can but you have to re-lock the boot loader which will wipe your phone.

i used these instructions (I am S-OFF already) and firmware from link on Maximus site:

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

How to flash firmware

### If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)

If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.

Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location

Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip

Open command prompt

Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol DOWN + power ===> fastboot)

Connect device to the PC

In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location

Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)

### Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)

Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

Type: fastboot reboot-bootloader

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

what i am sure of is that without the new firmware you will not have wifi :(

i thought i flashed the firmware first but didnt do it twice and it didnt stick. after the rom was installed i had no wifi but guessed that was the problem and re flashed the firmware. then it was ok.

as for cyanogenmod, unless it states it is for M8 Dual SIM then i wouldnt bother unless youve got time to experiment and hope for updates.

i know there are many arguments as to why you dont really need S-OFF for most normal operations but it a real fail-safe when things get messed up (my 2c)

just find the $25 for sunshine, its worth it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonvfr:
Thanks for response. In the meantime I have gone S-OFF with Sunshine, but I have not yet flashed the new firmware or the ROM.

For firmware flashing, I was going to use the process described here on XDA. Seems very simple . . .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonvfr:
But in the end I had to use the method you suggest, as once the ROM was installed I had no firmware and was therefore stuck in bootloader. With some fiddling I managed to sort it all out, and everything is now running.

Thanks for your help
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vklexer:
Was trying to update my D802 4.4.2 20g to 20h with KDZ go back to stock method.

Process went up to 14%, stopped. After reboot, LG logo appears, goes up to a black screen. No download, no recovery.

When connecting phone to PC shows device as QhsBulk... something. And a lot of drives pop up that "need to be formated"

Is my LG G2 still fixable? Did anyone get it fixed with warranty or repair service for a price? (what price)

Thank you..

/dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb4

/dev/sdb5 .......... /dev/sdb36

I just wanted to know if its fixable, cause i've sent it to my warranty. Told that it shut down during an update.

Just want something positive, cause i really liked my g2. It would be sad to throw it away.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonoid phenomenom:
im the same situation as you, did lg fix it for you or say your warranty was boid because root/custom rom? thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vklexer:
Well actually, before going to my warranty, i've tried to understand the situation by speaking with several repair services. Basically they told its fixable unless the memory chip fried. Repair prices were from 10$ to 35$.. Even while searching for this qhsbulk mode problem, i've found that LG was fixing it for about 30$.

My warranty fixed it i guess for free (since they didnt contact me). And guess what they did? They replaced my mainboard. I think they did that not because the last one was broken, but because they are a bit lazy to fix it by programming.

Today im going to take it back from warranty and see. One thing for sure, I won't be flashing anything on it. Sad part that i still dont understand what i did wrong. I followed the instructions and this happened..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonoid phenomenom:
well in my case was my crappy hdd with crc errors that lead me to this situatuon and a little short on time to set an apropiate linux envoirement on my laptop to rescue the phone, lets hope they just replace the mainboard, either way im stuck again with my battery hungry S3, cant wait to get my g2 back again

thank you for clarify this for me

Hi there,

I am using the 10.5 Tab S wifi-only with unofficial Cyanogenmod. As backend I am using a Horde groupware server with Activesync support. Everything seems to work fine, but I have a problem with my activesync contacts. The stock contacts app doesn't display any contacs, although I selected to display all contacts (including local and exchange contacts). Someone could assume that the exchange contacts aren't synced. However, when I use the magnifier icon to search for contacts, the result list does in deed show my exchange contacts. Furthermore, as soon as I turn off wifi the search doesn't work any more. So it seems contacts are searched online only and no information is stored locally.

Any idea how to solve this?

Can't seem to make "Samsung SideSync Bypass" work at K.v4.4.2

1. SideSync app starts on device (nVidia/evga TegraNote7) to the point where we can tap "Start" so it shows a button "Stop" at bottom of screen.

2. PC SideSync however has its "Keyboard/Mouse Sharing" button (at bottom left in window) ~greyed out. (Windows 8.1 x64.)

3. Samsung PhoneScreenSharing Bypass by KashaMalaga.exe says "Wrong file size", but anyhow it's more SideSync that I'm after in the first place, and I worry less about ScreenSharing.

Bottom line : Unfortunately I can't seem to make "Samsung SideSync Bypass" work (on Kitkat v4.4.2). Have I missed out at some point then to get this working ?
