We can certainly use it! If you need help with the backup or upload just post a message. Instructions are in post #2. Just please ensure it's a backup of a system that has not been rooted so it's still "factory". We appreciate your willingness to help!

Backing up factory system image now. 6045i

Uploading to filedropper: AOT Idol 3 6045i(usa) Firmware 5.0.2-7SQ3-UE30 .7z

It's a backup of nothing but "System Image" is anything else needed?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Electriccars your willingness is appreciated but please see post #3 to see what's already been updated. We already have that firmware for model 6045i.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rhcohen:
Pretty interesting. I was also thinking of trying the unroot option in SuperSU. Anyone have an opinion about whether hiding the su binary will be sufficient to allow an update? or do we think the checking of whether the system has ever been mounted rw, and checksum tests, will only be done when there is an actual update to be installed?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
The update will check the "partition table" for /system to see if it's ever been modified therefore even unrooting will not be sufficient...please see the article I linked to in post #1.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wrench588:
Hi all, just wanted to share a quick "fix" to our dilemma as reported by UnceasingElias from the Idol 3 google plus page. If you select the Settings in SuperSU, uncheck the "Enable Superuser" option, you can now check for updates and the message about root will not pop up. Also the message "Your system is up to date" is also displayed, so let's hope an update will go through when available.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Electriccars:
"Firmware from before system updates 1 and 2 is also needed so users can downgrade in case of bugs found."

That's what it says, what I'm uploading is the factory image before any updates. Isn't that what's needed?

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Yes, it should be safe to upgrade without losing the fastboot commands and respectively the ability to boot or flash the custom recovery afterwards..
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wallah:
Just one question please, now i have the TWRP recovery, to update do i need to flash the original recovery or i can do it with TWRP?

Thank you very much

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Return the stock recovery for safety ... should you wish I can prepare an update which will not overwrite the TWRP (must be flashed through it) thus you will have a chance to recover the phone if anything goes wrong.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wallah:
Ok, this is nice from you. I will wait for your update.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Have we actually verified the factory recovery won't flash a non alcatel update? I remember folks could not get the factory recovery to FIND an update even when putting it in root dir of both internal and external but I think that system updater expects it to be in /data/data/com.tcl.fota
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
This is the link to the modified update.zip (md5sum 56214483b1c8074a2de212e3f4e5abe6). It can be flashed only through TWRP. I hope that there will be no problems with the install. The recovery will not be overwritten. The aboot and the sbl partitons will be patched as well as everything else. Please provide feedback if everything is OK or if there is a problem. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 00:14 ---------- Previous post was at 00:12 ----------

The stock recovery has no option to skip the verification, so any modified update.zip will not be processed thorugh it.

This is the exact message ... nothing else ? Can you copy the log from the recovery ?

How to obtain the log please ?

this is the exact error message

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
There is an option under the advanced menu of the recovery 'copy log to sd' (or something similar). There are other methods too ... if your phone is still in the recovey after the error, the log is in the /tmp/ directory (so you can pull it with adb), on normally started devices is in the /cache/recovery/ direcotry.

Ahaa ... this is different ... where is your Books.apk ?!? Did you remove it / modify it?Something else removed or modified ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
The updates are VERY finicky....I had one abort because I had added lines to my build.prop. I had to revert it to factory to get the update to apply and then copy it back. There is a whole list of files it checks.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] franq36:
I confirm that everything works as before: fastboot commands, root, recovery, etc ..

recommendation

first of all start TWRP "fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3.img" to backup system and boot stock to recover in the future for the next OTA

root installation and recovery as before

[MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] is strange not to have fastboot command in aboot 6039 may be that working with sources has been modified in your terminal? abootbak backup is aboot? are equal?

Here is another update [MENTION=773696]wallah[/MENTION]. This one will skip the update of Books.apk. The md5sum is: ad513b20358ab1de0c51a65db1d04af6

Hello

I just got the 06 update notification on my 6045Y (France).

I'm currently on 03 , rooted, TWRP, Xposed.

So I know I have to get back to unrooted system image if I want to update.

I made a TWRP backup of the system image (and only system image, not boot image...) before doing anything on my phone - as required.

Just to be sure & safe : what is the exact procedure in my case, in order to update to 06 ?

- Do I have to do a full unroot before flashing the default system image

- Do I have to find a boot image backup for 03 or can I just flash the system image back ?

Thanks for your help & advice
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wallah:
Hello [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION], thank you for your effort and i apologize for disturbing you

I just restaur system and make a update with the clean base

everything work fine, root and recovery with fastboot
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
i'll try that asap :)

it's 10 06 for Y right
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Which zip did you use ? The modified one or the one from Alcatel ?

Yes it is for 6045Y v7SSV-0 or v7SSA-0.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
error :(
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
You don't expect from me to make a personal update for everyone, right? The update checks more than 1000 files in the system directory. If you have any modifications (deleted files or modified content) in any of these files, the update will fail.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
ok so the easiest way is to update normally?

do i have to fully unroot or just uncheck?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Restore your backup of the system image. Then try again. The modified update will preserve the TWRP recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wallah:
I follow the tuto how to restore to make up the update, pick up system files for France, boot for 6045Y and restore all that via TWRP. Once I boot the phone update was here. I do a update after that root and install twrp with fastboot. But now when I go to see if I have an update, the update still here and tell me to update my phone... Really strange...

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
Don't remember.. Does the latest update for 6045X remove fasboot command from aboot partition ? Still possible to root or not with this update ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
hello,

so what i had:

stock 03, root, custom recovery (flashed), debloated.

1-reboot to TWRP

2-wipe cache and dalvik cache

3-restored the full 06 TWRP backup by [MENTION=2750589]Gynoid[/MENTION] (thank you man)

4-reboot

5- flashed TWRP recovery

6-reboot

7-flashed supersu2.46

8-reboot

Everything is fine, but i had to TO REBOOT TWICE AND LET THE APPS SETTLE. All APPS from before restore are present.

But in step 2 i suggest to wipe the system and data (internal) also. You will lost all your apps/settings, but you will have clean restore.

But hte image doesnt include east european languages (Czech, Polish...) so maybe thats why we dont have official OTA at now.

More locale2 enables some Czech in settings, but most of them is still inenglish.

Suddenly i have flashed the TWRP before backup the 06 recovery, so it will be good to heve it.

Now i go back to my 03 because of the language.

EDIT:

I noticed, that "adb reboot recovery" just normally rebooted the phone. I have to turn off the phone and turn on and hold vol+ to go to recovery.

fastboot commands and other adb commands work well.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
optimizing apps

and... done it's on 10.06 without wipe or anything

double tap finally works flawlessly
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Updating "normally" isn't gonna cut it either. Alcatel's updates won't install if you have deleted or modified files. Why can't folks just freeze/disable the apps that don't interest you? It's not like you can really use the small amount of space freed up and if frozen they use no ram or cpu.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
For everyone wanting to update 10 06 has been added to post #3. If you freeze/disable apps you are not using as opposed to deleting them future updates will be simpler.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
The 10 06 in post #3 can be rooted and has fastboot.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
yeah i'll freeze them with titanium
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
I still can't understand, does the modified update file was used or not, therefore I removed the links (in case that it didn't work).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
dunno if he used it but i did

i used a twrp backup then your zip

this update is ace

it fixed most lags, better double tap and some of my xposed modules which didn't work do now
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Finally a straight answer. Thank you [MENTION=1943808]keyra74[/MENTION]. The first link is available again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I debated whether to add your link to the 3rd post but your update.zip only works to go EXACTLY from 10 05 to 10 06 and requires the user to not have modified/removed a large majority of files. At that point it just becomes easier to point them to the 10 06 already modified.

If you are on an earlier version than 10 05 installing that update zip will mean you are missing required patches and it will cause you issues farther down the line when the files need to be patched again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
i went from 10 03 to his 10 06 zip
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
That was not a good decision. Alcatel creates update.zip's based on the users current version at the time it's requested so they get ALL the patches needed..this is why one user might get 3 updates where another waiting long enough would only get 1. You skipped two levels of patches and your files are now not in sync with how alcatel EXPECTS them...your version SAYS 10 06 but you do not have all the changes 10 06 should have.

If the update.zip [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] used was from you this doesn't apply but it does for anyone ELSE planning to use it.

Solution: Flash the full 10 06 twrp backup in post #3
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
it wasn't from me.

so you're saying i should wait for a system backup of 10 06

i'm really happy with this update thou
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
This is not true at all. The update is for specific devices on a specific version. If you don't have such device or there is a version mismatch the update will not be applied at all.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
ok now i'm lost.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Why ? Where ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
you're claiming it's ok and he's saying i'm missing some patches from going to 10 03 to your 10 06 zip
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
I also said that the [MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION] statement is wrong. This is the first check from the update:

file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "TCL/6045Y/idol3:5.0.2/LRX22G/v7SSA-0:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "TCL/6045Y/idol3:5.0.2/LRX22G/v7SSV-0:user/release-keys" ||
abort("Package expects build fingerprint of TCL/6045Y/idol3:5.0.2/LRX22G/v7SSA-0:user/release-keys or TCL/6045Y/idol3:5.0.2/LRX22G/v7SSV-0:user/release-keys;

Your device is the same therefore the update continues with the other checks. Don't worry the update [MENTION=773696]wallah[/MENTION] is compatible with your device.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Why wait? It was there even before you flashed the update.zip.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
My understanding is...

The update sent is based on the device and current firmware...it sends parameters so that alcatel can send the right update.zip. I captured them in my squid log for my device. We also had users who stated that when they got their device even though it was on the same firmware mine started out on they only received ONE update as opposed to the three I had flashed. The update.zip to go from 03 to 06 is not the same update.zip to go from 05 to 06 or do you disagree? A patch to go from 05 to 06 will not have previous patches in it and it doesn't check the firmware itself since it was done at download time.

What part of that is incorrect?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
If these checks are in every update.zip then I'll agree it will not apply an update for 05 to 06 to 04 or 03 etc but the burden comes upon the user to find/flash the right update.zip...seems like a whole lot more effort than just flashing the whole 10 06 in post #3 especially given that the updates will refuse to install if system files or app are changed/modified.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
From this post this part is incorrect

because, every update checks the version and the files/partitions which will be updated.

I have to agree that it is not an easy task ... but ... the update contains patches for the system, boot, aboot, sbl, modem, recovery, rpm, tz and hyp partitions, therefore I think that the proper approach is to use the update.zip file which is especially for your device.

Edit: One more thing. Guess what will happen with the checks on the next update if you try to apply the official OTA update on a device which contains the updates only for the system and optionally the boot partitions.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Well based on that then ideally there should be a list of updates from A to B then B to C etc that have been modded to not replace recovery for both the 6045 and 6039 (I know the 6045 currently isn't pulling fastboot out but it COULD). I was unaware the update was hitting all those different partitions. Which partition stores the radio?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
modem which is mounted under /firmware during the update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jodelaplaya:
I have a lot of random reboots (one every 2 minutes) with the 10-06 (european) am I the only one?

I tried to wipe but still the same ...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] zrkkrz:
I tried to follow the thread but I'm not sure so I ask:

is there currently a need for the update.zip from 010 03 to 010 06 (5.0.2-010 06_20150909_030530 to be exact) coming from a full stock 6045Y (never rooted, never flashed, just upgraded "normally" once from 010 01 to 010 03 in July)?

In case of, here is the corresponding MD5: update.zip 606654f5cdaf6bc373263c242178610a
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I believe [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] already provided one that does the 03 to 06 upgrade and he modified it so it doesn't wipe out TWRP which the factory one would. He should be able to clarify if I am mistaken.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
so i talked with alcatel support and they told me that the FOTA updates numbers are not corresponding across same devices. So the 01005 for my device could be newer than french 01003. And i have in my device only czech, german, slovakia and english language, so this will be supposedly my region as for i tried french 01006, everything was working but not czech language.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:
Good evening guys. I tried today to install on my 6045Y (5.0.2 / 010.03) version 010.06 through recowery TWRP the process has been successful but I experienced a continuous reboot after he installatto all apps (Android optimization app). I tried several times to restart but continued to stop at the white screen with the circle Mediacom, fortunately I managed to fall in recowery TWRP pressing the volume up and power button and I restored my backup previously made.

Where did I go wrong ? What can I do to upgrade to the new version?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Gynoid:
Did you wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache after flashing 010.06 and before rebooting ? If you did not, then do please it and reboot.

The first reboot process will be extremely long (several minutes with this stupid battery-eating white Alcatel animation) and you phone may get warm in the process, but after then it will be Ok. Don't forget to plug your power supply or to make sure your battery is full before doing that. There's no reason it should fail.

But remember to be (very) patient during first boot.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:
Thank you for your response.

Actually I did not do any cleaning up after, I limited myself to clean the Cache, run the flash update and installed supersu maybe it was just that the problem is not the cleaning.

I take this opportunity to ask yet the correct steps to take before and after the flash thanks?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Gynoid:
Best proccedure :

1. Flash TWRP (if not done yet)

2. Boot TWRP Recovery (Power and Vol+ buttons)

3. Restore the 010-06 backup (must contain Boot image and System image)

4. Wipe 'Cache' and 'Dalvik Cache'

5. Reboot

6. Be patient (and pray the Lord, while you wait)

7. Enjoy, and proceed with the rest: Root, etc. etc.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:
Ok recowery à already present and also the root, you must first do a factory reset or just do vipe davil cache cache and system first and only after the cache and david?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Gynoid:
I would do a factory reset, after Android has been booted the first time. It will take you more time, but it's surely safer.

That means before rooting and playing, you will have to re-enter all your Wifi information and Google account, but I think it's definitely worth it.

So, to summarize:

1. Flash TWRP (if not done yet)

2. Boot TWRP Recovery (Power and Vol+ buttons)

3. Restore the 010-06 backup (must contain Boot image and System image)

4. Wipe 'Cache' and 'Dalvik Cache'

5. Reboot

6. Be patient (and pray the Lord, while you wait)

7. Within Android, do a factory reset and reboot

8. Enjoy, and proceed with the rest: Root, etc. etc.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:
OK :good:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Gynoid:
And when you pray the Lord (during this very long booting time), please tell Him about me !

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:

What languages are included in the 6045Y 10 06 version you uploaded? I'm told there are 3 versions of the 6045Y firmware...one for french, another for german/czech/slavik and a 3rd that is english only? [MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] if I have those wrong please clarify. Do the first two also include english as a choice?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
If you have lost root, are in boot loops or gotten stuck with factory recovery on a 6045 model [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] is asking for testers of some files he has setup which will allow you to flash twrp to your device via the DOWNLOAD MODE...from there you should be able to use adb with root inside twrp...do a reboot to bootloader or restore a backup from the system image thread.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] n3tnut:
I was in this same boat (bricked from root + Stagefright update) but I gave in a few weeks ago and sent my bricked 6045 back to Alcatel via the online RMA Portal site - use Software Update as the reason in the dropdown box. Got it back less than 2 weeks later like new - only out of pocket cost was shipping to Alcatel.

Just wanted to provide some assurances to people with bricked devices not sure what to do at this point. They told me they had seen a lot of idol 3's come in with issues from software updates, so I had no trouble getting warranty coverage.
