[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
I'm interested in the download link for the update, or from a link to the actual update file (if you can upload it somewhere). I make regular checks (with a crafted request, but the response for my device is still 'HTTP/1.1 204 No Content').
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rorshan:
I'd be happy to help you., but I don't quite know how to do that... If you tell me how to get the update link I can do it. And If I do download the update will I have to update right after that? And where would the update file be downloaded to?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
The actual link must be intercepted for example on your router or if you use proxy it can be seen from its logs. There is no need the device to be upgraded right after the download. The file which will be downloaded should be saved somewhere in the /cache directory (probably [MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION] can tell you exactly where). If you can save the downloaded file (on your sd card) and then to upload it somewhere this will be great.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rorshan:
I don't think my router has any option to do that. The downloaded update is listed as data for the System Updates app, but I haven't been able to find any data folder for that app (which isn't too surprising anyway). If it is stored in /cache then it's a bit of a problem since /cache requires root to be accessed. I'm not sure I'd be willing to root and then unroot right away to apply the update afterwards.

So that leaves the proxy option. Would a proxy set up in WIFI option produce any log? Or do I need to use a dedicated proxy/VPN app with logs? If so, which do you recommend?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
You need a proxy server which to process all the traffic from the device. The option in the Wi-Fi settings only specifies the IP address of the proxy server.

There is no need to root your device however in order to list the /cache folder/partition and to copy the update file. You can reboot the phone to the bootloader after the download of the update, then to boot with the TWRP recovery image and to copy the update file from /cache to the /external_sd folder. If it is ~200MB you can find it easily with the following command:

busybox find /cache -type f -size +150000k

despite that the cache should be almost empty folder/partition and the file should be easily located with ls.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Skirr:
6039K in Germany, the same update is out here as well. The quick summery of the patch notes seems to indicate that this update includes all the previous fixes up to the stagefright patch that the US version got (improved performance in general, better camera performance, improvements to DT2W etc.). Really happy about that :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mrdoug:
Same here. Was considering this phone, but kept reading reviews saying, 'Alcatel doesn't update'. So I emailed them and got the same response... No plans to update the OS. I specifically asked about both 5.1 for the bug fixes that Google issued quickly (because they were quite important) and Android 6 which is coming in a few short months (supposedly).

This lack of update scares me. I don't know that I'll go with Alcatel at this point. I appreciate what they've put into the phone, it has some nice additions above the base midrange (eg. Moto G), but updates are paramount IMO.

I hope they change their mind and support their phones, however, history says it's not likely. :(

Sent from my secret lair in a hidden mountainside.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rorshan:
I'm an idiot for not thinking of TWRP

The update file wasn't in the /cache folder. I found it there ./sdcard/data/com.tcl.fota/.fotadownload/update.zip.

At least I'm pretty sure it's the one since com.tcl.fota is the package name of the System Updates app and the filesize is okay. I'm uploading now, will edit with the link once it's done

update

Hey Rorshan, thanks for doing this. I got a 6039Y from orange romania, will try applying that update right now, see what's up with it.

Edit: yes, obviously.. it doens't flash with TWRP. Is there any way someone could modify this zip in order to make it recovery flashable?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
Try to read the main forums..you cannot update this with TWRP, its incremental update. You have to unroot, go to stock FW with stock recovery, than update and root again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kkkk2222:
Ah yes, thank you very much, I knew I missed something.. I did this a few years ago on my first Galaxy S, I just remembered now.

Rorshan did you apply the update?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] oranek:
I have 6945Y and no update (german no carrier). Will it be here? Or can i use the package that [MENTION=6864821]Rorshan[/MENTION] added ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
no way ... this is the updater-script header..so its 6039Y only

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rorshan:
I just did. Better hope that the file I got isn't faulty, because I probably don't have it anymore on the phone now that I've updated.

No, you shouldn't try as you don't even have the same model as me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rioachim:
I tried to apply it through adb sideload on 6039Y (vodafone) but I get the error: "Package expects build fingerprint of TCL/6039Y/idol347?5.0.2/LRX22G/v1AEZ-0?user/release-keys or TCL/6039Y/idol347?5.0.2/LRX22G/v1AJE-0?user/release-keys; this device has TCL/idol347/idol347?5.0.2/LRX22G/v1AH5-0?user/release-keys"
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kkkk2222:
Same here. Can it be a custom carrier issue? Mine was bought from orange, if that matters. Anyone with more Android knowledge care to enlighten us?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Cannadoux:
I think you're right.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:
yes, my 6039Y comes with 010 05 with night mode in Camera, but also has display color temperature adjust, that somebody claims to have received only in 010 10.

I refuse to understand. I agree that Alcatel is crazy!

BTW I don't know the original country of my phone because it is a second hand object that I bought on the web.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jani0417:
Check under Settings - Security something (above About) - CU something (sorry, my phone is not set to English and I'm too lazy to do it), i.e. my unbranded 6039Y has a code 6039Y-2AALWE7 - WE indicates that this is for Western-European region and it get the updates for this region. Anyway version numbers are different region by region.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nantzen:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] passaloutre:
I have a 60450 and I've been playing around with CM roms all day. After trying out CM I've decided I would like to revert the phone to factory settings.

Before installing TWRP I backed the phone up using TWRP in it's factory configuration using these instructions. When I try to use TWRP to restore the system image I created, it boots to the "Alcatel One Touch..." screen and then moves on to the "Cricket" screen, but it hangs there and will not proceed. I can successfully restore to the Cyanogenmod images I created using TWRP, but not the factory one.

Also when using Cyanogenmod, I no longer have the options to mount the phone to my computer (Arch Linux) in developer usb debug mode.

Is it too late for me to restore my system image?

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jani0417:
wondering europe get the update that time or not :-/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] wiemar:
they must translate software to all regions in europe. they need time. first update always take China, then USA and later Europe
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jani0417:
lame excuse, it's just a new version with a very few new features to translate and i'm pretty sure that the localization of the android os itself is not made by alcatel :D

and even if this were the case, they anytime could do an update with language fixes.

afaik only (unlocked) north america got the update so far
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mrcorey:
OK. So, Koodo will get the update on July 7, too, apparently. After harassing the Koodo community, I got an answer. We'll see if they stick to it this time

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xbbdc:
You can try the Alcatel tool to revert back to factory, but let me ask you this. Did you select to restore boot image with the TWRP backup? I recall on my previous phones that would cause an issue and I never restored the boot itself and was able to get back to stock.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] audit13:
I have a bell mobility idol 3 6045i that I unlocked using a Koodo sim. Once it was unlocked, I rebooted the phone with the Koodo sim in the phone. Upon reboot, a couple of Koodo apps appeared. Hopefully, my phone will be included in the Koodo update to mm.

Edit: I factory reset my phone with a Telus sim card in the phone and it's now receiving an update that is 1349 MB in size :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gridmuncher:
I have two Idol 3s both are 6039Y-2AALWE7 and I updated both using the Mobile Upgrade Q program provided by Alcatel. Strangely despite being the same phone model and region they received different numbered updates. One is 010-11 and the other 010-12. Both however have security patch level 2016-02-01 and on both Android Pay is now broken :crying:

Safetynet helper displays "CTS profile match: false"

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I have not rooted either phone, as far as I am aware when using the Mobile Upgrade Q program the phone is completely wiped and made "new". Why would Android Pay stop working?

But haven't some people already received the update in that phone version? In August there were reports of people receiving the update in both 6039y and 6039k in western Europe but then it stopped, what the hell is Alcatel doing :/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] persona78:
Hi!

For does who have Idol 3 4.7 6039y version and have MM from Europe, can some one copy the boot.img ( mmcblk0p23 ) and system.img ( mmcblk0p25 ) and upload it???

Is easy, you can use TWRP, go to advanced, file manager, open dev folder, open block folder, seek for mmcblk0p23 and copy to micro sd card, the same with mmcblk0p25. Than copy to pc and upload it, please!!!

mmcblk0p23 = boot.img

mmcblk0p25 = system.img

Or you can use ES File Explorer with root.

The phone must be rooted, activate root in ES File Explorer settings than open dev folder, open block folder, seek for mmcblk0p23 and copy to micro sd card, the same with mmcblk0p25.

Thank you!

Any idea what it is happening? Is Alcatel blocking the upgrade?

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
this will not work, because when you are on OTA MM update you have no way yet how to root the device, so you have no twrp, so you cannot copy the boot and system image.

OTA doesn´t replace recovery, so if you already have TWRP, after update, you can root, etc, etc, no?

In English:

The request on facebook at Alcatel is: Will the idol 3.4,7 code 6039y-2BALWE7 be updated towards android 6.0? I ask the question because that made more than 50 days that the update towards android 6.0 was deployed in France. that starts to make long since the deployment in North America who started in June.

Their answer in MP facebook is:

Hello Valérian, As I have told you for 50 days, I do not have unfortunately an answer to your question. I cannot either help you because it is not me which manages the updates and when I get information near my superiors, I do not have more information to give you…

In French:

La demande sur facebook à Alcatel est:

Est-ce que l'idol 3 4,7 code 6039y-2BALWE7 sera mis à jour vers android 6.0? Je pose la question car ça fait plus de 50 jours que la mise à jour vers android 6.0 a été déployé en France. ça commence à faire long depuis le déploiement en Amérique du Nord qui a commencé en juin.

Leur réponse en MP facebook est:

Bonjour Valérian, Comme je vous le dis depuis 50 jours, je n'ai malheureusement pas de réponse à votre question. Je ne peux pas non plus vous aider car ce n'est pas moi qui gère les mises à jours et lorsque je me renseigne auprès de mes supérieurs, je n'ai pas plus d'informations à vous donner...

I called Alcatel by telephone and the operator told me that it is google which decides which telephone passes under the next version of android. I think that Alcatel makes fun of the customers. I think that it is Alcatel which does not want to update the idol 3.4,7 inches for the moment.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stayboogy:
6039S, USA

Use the latest Mobile Q Upgrade from Alcatel website, version 5.0

It will upgrade to MM 6.0.1

I'll be posting the images at some point when I get a high speed WiFi connection.

If you do update, you have to follow the download mode, qfil tutorial in order to unlock the bootloader and root, and you have to use the 2.62 superuser update with working systemless root in order for it to work correctly. It will also destroy the splash image as mentioned before so you'll need to restore the previous one to fix that.

And, in order for Mobile Q to work you have to be in download mode and not just powered off like the program says to upgrade.

[MENTION=6864821]Rorshan[/MENTION] ... thanks man I appreciate your efforts! My files are completely different so I must wait for the update. At least, I can tell you that the update will not break the things if your data partition was resized (or at least it looks so :p)

[MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] ... where is the problem to install the OTA update through TWRP ?!? Where has been told that TWRP cannot apply OTAs? If you have a completely different device of course it is impossible. But otherwise if you have an identical system (even a slightly modified one :)) you can apply the update through TWRP (of course it is advisable to remove at least the overwrite of the recovery and also to remove the checks and the patches for the modified files, but the update can be applied). Also it seems that there is no check in these updates for ever mounted as r/w system partition. The backup is a good thing of course :)

---------- Post added at 23:24 ---------- Previous post was at 23:21 ----------

You still can boot the custom recovery through fastboot after the update right ?

I just tried and nope.

booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
