Since folks apparently are ignoring the very first paragraph of Post #1 I'm going to ask that this thread be closed. This information is out of date and should not be followed

The first paragraph states:

2015/10/07 The information below will be kept to help folks make backups and for linux/mac users to have some images to restore but if you have bricked your phone the recommended solution now is to install Alcatel's Mobile Q software version 4.9.2 or newer and use it to restore your phone to factory condition. Basically turn off the phone..plug it up to the pc via usb and run the software...it should prompt you from there. The link to download the software is here: http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download/pixi_3_7_4g.html

Mod: Please delete any posts that may appear after this one so it is the final post.

explaining my backup file for 6045i

kirplunk here, it seems my upload is confusing, here is what i did from adb, ran twrp test mode to take a backup of my stock system saved it to my external drive. then moved that folder containg backup to my pc, then created my own custom folder to put them in easier for me to find. this folder is called, 6045i twrp stock system backup, then i packed this folder for upload using 7zip to reduce total size. so after unzipping file, open folder and you will find another folder thats is called 1970-01-01-11-11_lrx22g_release-keys, this is the folder backup file that twrp made for me. i tested restore on my phone and it works, so put the folder named 1970-.01.... into the directory that your twrp is saving to and see if it recognizes the backup. it is the best i can do it does work on my phone and my test was also through adb, the recovery is still not installed on my phone, that will happen tonight.

when selecting restore twrp should find the 1970-01........ folder, then select it twrp will then display the system backup to restore or you can back out.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Electriccars:
That's odd, I'm testing the download now and it's at 10.4MB and counting of "Unknown Size"

The file in my PC is 868MB.

I'll try uploading via Mega

Thanks for all the effort. I tried to download your file a few more times both from the browser and from jdownloader but it's remarkably consistant...may just be the net on my end cause we are in the middle of a thunderstorm.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Good explanation. As a general rule for others when using any of the backups it's simplest to just push the date timestamp folder to the directory that has your other twrp backups by date timestamp.

The way I read the linked article from AndroidPit is that the OTA updates that upgrade

to

5.0 will apply. It suggests the work around is to manually upgrade

to

5.0. Again with the word "to" so I take it we might all be fine since already there. I guess time will tell and we'll see when the next update comes out? If my phone fails, catches fire or implodes on the update I'll just throw the sim back in my One.

.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Did you read the paragraph from the TWRP documentation too? It says ALL updates starting from lollipop forwards. I promise you I wouldn't be doing all this if it was not necessary.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mk3:
No I didn't, but will go now. Sorry my life mission is to challenge everything...

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Thank you. It's downloading as normal. I'm attempting to mirror both files on mega but as you pointed out it's very slow and it's restarted from the beginning on me MULTIPLE TIMES. *sigh*
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Electriccars:
Haha. Yeah.

Question, my system image backup of my phone (after the updates) gave me ERROR=2 when I tried to restore it. The only thing I can think of is I renamed the backup folder after moving it to my PC and then I moved it back to my phone.

I did successfully restored the system backup from the full normal backup I also did, so my phone's working fine and is rooted.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
When extracting your backup it's very important to make sure that your date timestamp folder ends up in the same directory with the other date timestamp folders...for example: 1970-01-01--17-11-11_LRX22G_release-keys

If twrp finds it there it should restore system without issue. If however you chose in twrp not to allow it read/write access it would be unable to write the system image. Does that help?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maigre:
What's the difference between Electriccars .7z and the one kirplunk uploaded? Aren't both 5.02 USA?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Dropbox restarts the download every time my internet drops from the beginning and mega restarts the upload from the beginning also. I'll probably end up copying them to a jumpdrive and taking my laptop to a local coffee shop to get them uploaded all to one place that won't expire but it WILL occur before 30 days are up. ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Electriccars:
It's in the same folder as my other backup which worked, I just changed the name of the backup.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
You can't rename the date timestamp folder...twrp sorts them by date and expects that folder...or am I misunderstanding?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Electriccars:
So the name of the folder saying the date and time can only be changed before you create the backup? Not after? That would explain why it isn't working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
You should not under any circumstances ever be changing the date timestamp folder. I don't know how I can make it more clear than that. You back it up....you restore it. If you want to rename the .7z file that doesn't matter but you can't monkey with the twrp file and then wonder why twrp won't recognize it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maigre:
The folder with the date and time doesn't exist before you make the backup, so you can't change its name prior to making the backup. I think what you have to do is to let TWRP give its own name to the parent directory of the date/time one. Then, you might be able to do what you want with the date/time directory name. I'm not sure about that, but since TWRP recognized kirplunk's date/time directory only after I put it into a directory my installation had created and named when I made my own backup (post-root), I'm guessing that it'll do the same with renamed folders within. In other words, let TWRP make /BACKUPS/4xxxxx. Then, you might be able to rename directories within that. I haven't tested it, though. Certainly, you can put a date/time directory that someone else made into that directory and have it recognized by TWRP's Restore menu. I've seen that much.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Electriccars:
By changing the name before I mean when twrp gives you the choice to name it before swiping to start the backup.

The folder name I changed change was only for that one backup just to be clear. And now I know for the future. Never touch that name. Thanks for informing me. ☺

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

The directory within /backups/4xxxxxx was the directory I renamed. And it didn't work, so yeah, any way to restore the name?

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I didn't write it down. Not a huge deal since I backed up and didn't alter the name of the factory phone's system image, the one that I uploaded, but still disappointed that I did that. Argh.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maigre:
How about this, Electriccars: make a new backup, even if it's one you don't need or want. Let's say the relevant folder created is something like "1970-01-05--11-11-11_LRX22G_release_keys." That won't be the name, but it'll be something like that. Then, delete the contents of that folder so that the folder is still there, but there's nothing in it. After that, copy or move the contents of the renamed directory that's failing into this new directory. At least the directory will be one that TWRP has a record of. Maybe that'll work.

What did you rename the problematic directory to? Maybe renaming is OK, but the integrity of the format of the name has to be maintained. So if you called it "My Backup," it'll fail, but if it's something with the structure and number of characters as those that TWRP creates, you'll be OK. I haven't tested, so I don't know.

Maybe later, I'll try and restore either your (Electriccars) or kirplunk's backup, just to see if it works or not on my device. I've only loaded kirplunk's onto my phone, but at least TWRP recognizes it. And, obviously, the backup wasn't made on my phone.

6045Y is not UK version...more easter neurope, or europe...because i am from Czech rep. and got the Y version.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Paulobrian identified his 6045Y as "uk" here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62022451&postcount=33 His profile says he's in "Norwich". Since I have no clue where that is I don't know if it expands your description of "europe" or not so you tell me. ;) I'm happy to name it whatever you two agree on and the good news is he plans to upload a non rooted version this weekend so you will have a backup to fall back on!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] zrkkrz:
Hi!

I also have the 6045Y (bought in France) and it is not rooted yet (running on 5.0.2 after the first OTA update).

I may be able to contibute but as it's my first Android phone I don't really master the whole development ecosystem, and face the following problem: After installing the drivers from the pseudo-"CD-ROM" (when the phone is plugged to the computer via USB), I still can't use the commands "adb" and/or "fastboot". I'm not sure if these tools have to be installed separately or if the driver install went wrong. (Note, I'm on windows 7 64bit, and yes I restarted the command prompt to be sure that any possible PATH env variable change had been taken into account)

So yeah, maybe a "newb" question but hey, that's my first Android !

I may be able to host the backup on my own server for some time, until it is stored on another more common file hosting service.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I believe windows has to download the android sdk to get the adb and fastboot commands. I'm on linux so I did a quick google and it looks like https://developer.android.com/sdk/ has it. Wow...the 6045Y gets around....so far its listed as in europe and france.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
6045Y is mainly europe version then includes England. (fotr now as i can read the 6045Y is selling in France, England, Czech republic...)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] zrkkrz:
Thanks, that's what I missed from the second post of the thread, and searches on internet pointed to other websites to install adb, but I didn't trust them.

After installing the Android SDK, then the platform-tools from the SDK manager, and finally adding the directory where adb lies to the PATH, I can finally run adb and fastboot.

I will now try to follow the rest of the instructions from the second post of the thread to make a backup ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I've added a line to the instructions pointing to the sdk for windows and telling what packages to install for linux. Mac has it built in. Hopefully that will avoid confusion in future.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I listed it as you wrote it. France, England, Czech republic. Feel free to point to the images in the root thread for folks to use if they do a bad flash etc. If you have suggestions on how to improve the process or more importantly make it easier/smoother for the user/uploaders please let me know.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
i will update the OP in the root thread..and please to the 6045Y write only (europe version) it could be misleading if somenone search for the europe roms and you have listed only three countries...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Fixed. Is the 6045k the dual sim one? I have no idea what areas have it......are there models other than i, y, and k?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:

System! Thank you! Please make sure to also tell me what firmware number shows up at bottom of system update checker!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rhcohen:
Correction: Mac does not have adb and fastboot built in. What it does have built in is USB support for communicating with the phone, whereas I understand that on Windows you have to install Alcatel's USB driver. On a mac one still has to download/install adb and fastboot, which I did by getting the Android SDK from Google's Android Studio web site.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Can you tell me what firmware shows for when you run system update checker? Your's was easy..I just imported it into my account from mega to mega....no download needed...it will sync once I move it to it's folder but I'm naming the folder by device_firmware and don't remember what it was for after update 1.

Yours was super easy as I was able to just import it right into my mega folder...will rename the folder once I know firmware.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Thanks! I'll correct the documentation! I'd hit thanks but I've blown my thanks quota for the day.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] bokaco7:
My pleasure to help :) i will report this evening with link and sn
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maigre:
Exactly. OS X does not have adb and fastboot built in, but it does recognize Android devices without benefit of external drivers. This makes things much easier as the Windows drivers game can be a hassle, particularly if you're using multiple Android devices that you communicate with this way.

The full sdk is not needed for either Mac or Windows. On mac, you only need the fastboot and adb executables, nothing more. On Windows, I think all you need is:

adb.exe

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

AdbWinApi.dll

fastboot.exe

Packages with just these files are scattered throughout XDA forums. Any Nexus forum will probably have links to such downloads, as an example. Save yourself the size of a full SDK installation and just use what you need unless you're doing dev work.

One location that has a package from which you can extract the necessary files is at http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481. Look in post 1 under "Obtain Root." There's a link labeled "Download the ZIP file." That takes you to a page posted by chainfire from which you can download a file that contains the adb/fastboot stuff needed along with batch files and a disk image for rooting a Nexus 6. Of course you do NOT want to use those batch files or the .img on an Icon 3. But the files in the /tools directory, all 630k of them, are all you need to do fastboot and adb commands on Mac and Windows, excluding any Windows drivers you may need.

6045K

I will like to contribute to this thread by uploading stock 6045k sys image but have problem to open command prompt in phone folders.. There isn't that option in the context menu. Connected as MTP with debugging turned on, installed android sdk tools, but not sure for cd drivers from phone.

I'm on 5.0.2 0100101001, LRX 22G build.

Will be thankful for some guidance..
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
It will have to be down for a while I guess...yours is the 1 out of 3 I haven't managed to get uploaded to MEGA yet as they keep restarting it. I had it to 85% this morning and they started it over. Currently only at 35% so if someone has a mirror of Electriccars backup or can upload a temporary one to an online host I'm sure the 6045i folks would appreciate it. I'll put the mega link up if I can ever get it to upload. Dropbox wasted it's own bandwidth by restarting the DOWNLOAD to 0 every time it was interrupted. I probably downloaded the equivalent of the full file 4 times if you add up all the restarts.

If it restarts again I'll switch to my backup (nexus 4) which appears to be much faster for internet but sucks the battery down in about 10 hours even plugged into the charger when doing internet sharing and wifi hotspot.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Just to confirm it actually says "5.0.2-010 03" at the bottom of the system upgrades checker screen? I ask because all the other firmwares so far had letters AND numbers as opposed to just numbers.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
The command prompt is opened on the windows pc, not the phone. The commands are typed on the pc and sent to the phone. You don't switch over to the phone until twrp loads. The usb drivers have to be either loaded from "cdrom mode" or via the download in the step by step instructions.

Just to be sure the summary post is not misleading, I received notification for only one system upgrade since I bought and received my phone beginning of this month.

I did apply that upgrade, but then I don't know what system update 2 mentioned in your post is referring to.

I just checked a few minutes ago if there was any update pending: this isn't the case.

So in short: I bought the phone beginning of July, did one OTA system update around the 10th of July, discovered this thread yesterday, then performed the system backup today. In addition, the phone has never been rooted.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Thank you. It's my understanding it works like this: If you missed update 1 the current update 2 brings you all the way forward to "current." Some folks have had issues with "current" specifically calls made via google voice and would like to get back to "previous" so we are requesting images of system that have not applied the "most recent" update. When it mentions update 1 and 2 that's really just for folks who already installed one but not the other as anyone who buys a phone now will get it all lumped together. Was that clear as mud? ;) I reworded post #3 a bit to try and clarify.

Ofc I tried opening cmd from pc, but I can do it only on my hdd but explorer won't show me let me use it on external devices such as my phone.. So can't pass the step in wich I'm supposed to force fastboot twrp.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I apologize as I'm not sure exactly what the issue is.....I'm not on a windows pc so I'm going by what [MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] has said and it's my understanding that if you open explorer to the directory where the twrp image is you should be able to do the mouse and keyboard combo to get the option to open a command shell. Can someone on a windows pc assist?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Backups have to be "system image" not system!

Guys,

Here's something that's giving me a headache. According to [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] who is the developer that compiled TWRP for us the backups have to be "system image" and not just "system" which will also increase their size some. He's said that a backup of "system" will still show up as "modified" although it is suitable for restoring from a bad flash etc.

This means I need to know if you backed up "system" which is what my instructions incorrectly said or if you used system image. If you used "system" I'm asking that you please re-do the backup with system image and resubmit. I take full responsibility for this mistake and apologize.

Which means we are back to step 1.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Nikola Jovanovic:
Exactly, but I can't use shift + right click on folder where twrp is(on my phone,root directory,new folder).. There isn't option open in cmd.. :) If there is misunderstanding again, I'll post sc tomorrow.

Edit: Tell me do I have to put twrp on my phone or it should be in (exmp) c:\\ and from there I should run fastboot ?
