Phones turns on and begins bootloop as soon as I plug in the USB cable. "adb devices" gives me no devices listed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Here's how to get to bootloader from recovery. I did this on linux but the commands are the same.....when you run twrp recovery and have the phone connected to the pc it SHOULD show up in "adb devices"...from there you can do an "adb reboot bootloader"...once in bootloader you should be able to use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash the correct boot.img (downloaded from DallasCZ's google drive)

I booted the phone into recovery and then did this on the pc (notice I did not go into sideload..it's sitting on the twrp main screen):

famewolf@HP810-135qe:/tmp > adb devices

I assume you are using Windows. Here's what I usually do:

1) Boot into your Windows desktop.

2) Unlock your phone

3) Plug your phone into PC using USB cable

4) Wait for Windows to see your device's media storage (internal and/or SD card if you have one)

5) Open a elevated command prompt where you unzipped the rooting files in the OP

6) Type command: "adb reboot-bootloader". Hit Enter.

If you don't unlock you device, then Windows will not see it. I would assume the same for Linux.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
and maybe adb sideload the stock boot.img packed inside a zip file? Just thinking...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mpdt:
From the Android Recovery main screen, where you have to select which language, I get no devices listed. The only time I can get the command prompt to show a device is connected is when I am in Android Recovery and selected sideload.

(I don't have twrp installed; never got that far.)

It then list the code for my device with the word sideload next to it.

Trying the reboot bootloader command gives me error: closed, and the fastboot command gives me waiting for devices.

Does Android Recovery not give you ADB access unless you select the sideload option?

[MENTION=4548513]Acreo Aeneas[/MENTION]

I cannot get into Android to unlock it. I am stuck in a boot loop after the bootloader screen.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Why would he need to sideload at all? He flashed the root boot.img over his own causing the bootloop. If he can get to bootloader then he can re-flash the right one and it should boot up like it's supposed to.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mpdt:
I get the E?footer is wrong error. Good try, though.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
have you tried , when adb is in sideload mode , to type "adb shell" then "reboot bootloader" like [MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION] said?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
i ment sideload the original stock boot.img that the phone boots...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
The factory recovery is very limited. I don't have it installed anymore so I'm not sure what can be done with it. I see where DallasCZ was going.....I'll do a google to see if I can find how to manually make the phone start in bootloader similar to how it goes into recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mpdt:
I get the error closed mesage with the shell command.

I get the E?footer is wrong error with naming the boot.img zipped filed to update.zip.

[MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION]

Anyway to sideload twrp?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
No, there's no way to flash recovery from recovery.

I hate to say it but I'm leaning towards the "it's broke, return it to amazon for an exchange" method. I don't know how you'd get to the bootloader. My previous phones had a button combination that took you to a menu that let you pick recovery OR bootloader where the alcatel goes right to recovery.

Anyone know what download mode does exactly?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mpdt:
I bought this phone back in May when it first came out; unable to return it to Amazon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
what i know:

phone off + cable plugged = android composite ADB interface, but i can only adb devices, no other adb or fastboot commands works...dunno why, maybe because its original TCL driver will investigate this.

phone off + vol up+vol down + cable plugged = download mode (qcom QDload)

phone off + vol up + power = recovery mode

Just thought about to contact the alcatel service to send you an certified update zip just with the boot.img to sideload via adb or by update in recovery.

Or send it to warranty repair and say,that the phone started to bootloop. i did it with phones i buy from china and they never look whats behind..the phone bootloops (mainly because of try to root the phone) and sended new one, or replaced the mainboard (really :) )
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Acreo Aeneas:
[MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION]

I thought "phone off + cable = ADB" only works on some devices? Namely Nexus or very stock devices? I know I never managed to get that to work on my old Huawei Ascend Mate 2 (it would just enter a charging only state).

I can confirm that only "adb devices" works with the above method. Even then, I only get this returned in prompt:

0123456789ABCDEF device

Of course, my phone goes into a charge only state. This is evidenced when you hit the power button and a charge battery in white comes up on screen briefly.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
As [MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] suggested you should still be able to submit it for warranty repair. They'll end up reflashing it and selling it as a refurb. Again I hate that you have to send it back but flashing the boot.img was not a good solution. If you do send it back make sure to do a factory reset from recovery before you do so all your personal info will be deleted from the phone.

[MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] You have some typo's in post 1 that should be "directory". "Open command prompt in direcotr where you have the unzipped files (when using windows in the direcotry

[MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] Do you have any suggestions for filehosts for the USER to use to upload the 1gb or so system partition? Obviously we can lump them somewhere such as google drive or mega.co.nz so they are all in one place but the user needs somewhere convenient to initially get them in the cloud.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
really don´t know..i am using only google drive or mega...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
We found filedropper.com which allows uploads up to 5gb and keeps them for 30 days past last download. No registration required. I'm uploading them to mega to have a consolidated folder (and I don't think mega expires) with an average upload time of 4 hours each.

on a idol 3 6045I with unlocked bootloader, but everything stock otherwise (OTA updated to 2015-07-13 release, which is latest as of today), i booted TWRP, took a backup of everything (i.e., checked every option there, including system, system image, data, etc).

i don't know much about which partition has user/personal data etc. i understand the system backup has no personal data (i.e., it is same for every idol 3 phone?).

i can upload it if needed (will watch this thread for good places to upload). thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] izzy001:
After rooting and unlocking, has ant one tried using xposed?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] neilownz:
Yep. It doesn't work. Just bootloops.

You can probably do everything in that with a little more editing/work.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Your generosity is appreciated however we did get a 6045i (after all updates) image. We still do need all other models so if you can assist details are here: http://xdaforums.com/idol-3/general/want-to-able-to-install-ota-updates-t3163745

Also if you have a 6045i that has not been UPDATED with either of the two system updates we'd still like to get an image so users can downgrade if bugs are found.

Never upload a copy of a FULL backup that includes your /data partition to anyone else as it would give that person all your personal information, google account etc.

Hey, had a gallbladder attack yesterday so couldn't upload my unrooted system image backup. But I guess it's not needed anymore since someone else Uploaded theirs?

l'll still backup and upload the system of the phone we have that's still in a factory state as soon as I can. 6045i.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I'd say braving a gallbladder attack to try and do an upload is certainly going above and beyond. ;) If your 6045i has not had both the system updates applied we could still use those 6045i images however kirplunk was nice enough to upload one for regular 6045i.

I don't understand...I don't get an option to be able to run command prompt from the alcatel idol 3 folder, neither the internal storage or the sd card folders will give me that option. Holding shift or not, and in the file menu command prompt is greyed out. I'm running Windows 8.1 Enterprise
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maigre:
Are you trying to get to the phone from your Windows command line and execute fastboot/adb commands there? You can't do that. Execute those commands from a directory in Windows, probably the one that contains the TWRP image you're trying to boot, if that's what you're doing.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] colonelcack:
How do you install this ADB driver? It doesn't work on my PC...i run both the "install.vbs" script and try running the "install.exe" files in each folder but it doesn't do anything with either. Still shows up as unknown adb device in device manager. Even tried manually updating driver in device manager by pointing it to the adb driver folder. Nada, doesn't find anything in either folder.

Running windows 8.1 enterprise
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tommihut:
I managed to install ADB driver so, that first I connected Alcatel device as CD-rom. Then I copied everything (I think Driver-folder is enough) from that root into my computer. Next I attached device as MTP device. Then I manually updated driver in device manager by pointing it to the Driver/x64 -folder.

However, I have some problems: I made everything like in this guide and everything went fine, until I input command "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices"

Only thing happens, is that Windows update tries to find drivers for Android, but didn't find.

So the command "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" doesn't show my device. I allready thought, that I bricked my device, but when I rebooted Windows, I could restart device.

(I posted this in the recovery backup section and I figure that I should repost here as well)

The Stagefright OTA update seems to have installed on my previously rooted device.

I achieved root via TWRP, however I booted into it. I didn't flash it.

I unchecked the 'enable root' option in SuperSU and checked that an update was available.

Then I downloaded the update.

I went back into SuperSU and selected the 'full unroot' option.

After that I rebooted and ran the update installer.

The phone rebooted (slowly) to the update animation (Android with progress bar underneath) and updated successfully? (No errors).

My device has rebooted and is currently optimizing apps (147 out of 188).

I'll let you all know what happens when it completely reboots.

If this works, then it's possible that the recommended stock system restoration process prior to OTA may not be needed. At least, not for this specific update.

Stay Tuned.

****Update - Phone Booted Up Fine. No problems. I'm going to reroot.****
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mightymags:
hmm, any reason why the supersu may not stick after flashing in twrp?

i had done the twrp method previously with success. then i wanted to do the update that came out this week. instead of fully uninstalling the supersu, i just unticked that box in it. the update appeared to complete but wouldn't boot. so i did a twrp restore. so now i am trying to flash the supersu again but its not sticking. meaning that the flash appears to go fine in twrp, all looks successful, but when i get into the system, its not there (even tried then installing supersu from the play store but it says no su binary is present). i've done this at least 5 times now and tried having the zip file on both the internal and external sd but nothing works.

bootloader is unlocked. when in twrp, after flashing, if i do adb shell, i can see supersu there. not sure what that means. i haven't fully flashed twrp, i'm just doing the fastboot boot img command.

i feel like i'm missing something obvious... any ideas guys?

do you had signal before messig with unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and flashing SU?

Nope, but it could have been an error with some app restoring.

I could fix it only with an unroot, and then a factory reset.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tekka-maki:
might seem dumb, but once the 'blocks' dir is automatically generated (from script) on PC, one can safely delete the presumably redundant 'mybckup' dir on external_sd yes?

2nd, what's the fastboot command to restore this 'blocks' folder from PC? It's all greek to me, used to just nandroid and twrp backups, never a raw backup before.

3rd, convenience of TWRP backups notwithstanding (to which I do many on my tablet), this makes TWRP backup redundant yes?

I don't have a lot of free space on External_SD thus questions 1 and 3.

Thank you, and sorry for foolishly wasting reply space.

Hello,

Since 2 days, i try to root my phone but I have always the same problem, on reboot supersu wasn't installed.

Can you look my recorvery log ?

Bootloader unlock , Twrp installed

Sorry for my bad English
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
if you install supersu246.zip from twrp and then reboot to system, do you have root? I mean not supersu installed i mean ROOT, try to download root-checker and check if you really have root.

Didnt you tried kingroot apk or another root method before?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Webgaffeur:
tried your .bat and then tried by TWRP but not other solution. Root checker said that the root is not ok
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
so you ar enot rooted.

I see lot o f people got problems after latest updates with root...

I will unroot my device and try again to root it with supersu246.zip from my google drive...will update this post after i am done.

so i fully unrooted my device, restarted, reboot to twrp and then installed the supersu246.zip with no problems. I have root again...

so thats all i can check and help.

EDIT:

and of course do you have mounted the system in "mount" menu in TWRP, right?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Webgaffeur:
Right Y test mount or not and same error
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
then i cannot help. Maybe when i get the latest update ii will face the problem,then i can see for solution, but for now i have no idea,sorry.

And do you have unchecked the item in "mount" menu "only mount system read-only"? It has to be unchecked (not selected).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Webgaffeur:
Yes check or uncheck same error .
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
The recovery cannot mount your /system and /data partitions as rw for some reason, therefore supersu cannot be installed. This is from your log when you are trying to install it from zip:

Try with the supersu from the recovery (it is included there). In order the recovery to ask you for the SuperSU installation delete the TWRP config file (.twrps) from your sdcard (should be under the TWPR directory). Then restart the recovery, allow the mounting of /system as r/w, and on restart you should be asked for the supersu installation.

Someone can help me please ... i think i did a big mistake by following this method for my idol s6039Y ... now i hawe only access to the twrp ( by flashing it each time the phone start ) and i cant use the backup ( error on flashing system and i cant even format the sdcard errno=30 ) ... is there a system image or something like that to use with the bootloader ? thank you for help :))

I was able to send in my phone to Alcatel and they sent me back a refurb one.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
My advice is to not do this. Make a test with one of the small partitions (boot for example). Create a raw image on the sd card, then use adb shell and direct the output to a file on your machine (in the same way as in your script). Compare the md5sums on both and you will see why my advice is such. I'm not sure what will happen in the reverse order (if you have a way to direct the image back to the device in the same way with adb) but the images are definitely not the same. Use e.g. xxd to compare them if you don't believe on the md5sum :D. I bought a 32GB sdcard for the same reason when discovered that 6039y has 16GB internal memory.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] guiniol:
I found the error. It is actually the status report given by dd. On linux, I can give a

status=none

to suppress that, but the version included in busybox doesn't support that.

I'm trying to find a way to prevent the status report at the end.

Also, my script seems to be missing all the

su

between the

adb shell

and

dd

... It worked yesterday somehow, but not today...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
It is not just from the status report. There is something wrong in general when the output from the commands executed on the device is directed to a file on the local machine. Try with `cat` should you wish (it doesn't have status report at the end) but the images again are different.
