No, I had access only to one update file from Alcatel for 6039 and the guy flashed it. Then he realized that the commands are missing and I was curious to understand why (this is how I found the removal). I still keep the original update.zip so if someone is interested I can modify it (but I'm not responsible for the consequences :p)

Consider the aboot for something like BIOS or more accurate as GRUB (because there are other things before it).

If you have root access you can restore the backup. But if the update removes the commands is better to skip it or to remove more patches from it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mbsnr:
There is no update.zip file on the phone. No large *.zip files other than bootanimation.zip and the like.

/data/data/com.tcl.fota doesn't exist

There is a hidden folder in root called .fotadownload but it is empty apart from an update.log which when opened as text is just numbers.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kkkk2222:
6039Y 10 05 update

So, I managed to pull the latest update from my phone, before I apply it. Not sure if I should though, since maybe it will also remove my fastboot commands and I really don't want that. I tried applying it but it kept giving me errors (unexpected contents in Newsstand apk folder and something about cache/recovery/block.map)

Anyone can make this twrp flashable? Also, can we check if it will remove the fastboot commands or it is safe to apply?

I'm on orange romania, btw, don't know if it matters

I cannot post an outside link because of my post count.. hm.. I'll PM you guys the link if you are interested.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mbsnr:
Anyone with a Dual SIM 6045K notice that the SIM names are now transposed on the "Data Usage" tabs? So I have data turned on for SIM1 but it calls it the name of SIM2. Kinda confusing - not a major issue as you can't switch SIM2 to be 3G/4G anyhow without physically swapping the SIM. SIM2 is only GSM, so it's data remains off.

Also another 2 issues. Not sure if with 5.0.2 or particular to this phone - both happened with ver 03 firmware and still the same with ver 06

1. You cannot call SIM1 the same name as the carrier - if you do it just renames it to SIM1 in all SIM references. If you use an abbreviated version of the carrier name it changes it from SIM1 to that name....

2. There is no means of setting the displayed number - only first or last digits - which as the phone is roaming consists of +44*1234. The local SIM has no number displayed so uses the SIM1 name (as long as it isn't the same as the carrier!)....

Maybe those things are fixed in 5.1 and/or 6.0....
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
You do NOT want to apply 10 05 to the 6039. It WILL remove your fastboot commands.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
6039s (4.7") - 5.0.2-010 06_20150810_015231 is being offered to me. Is this one of the updates that removes fastboot? Probably gonna ride full stock for now regardless until more strides are made with ROMs, but would be nice to know.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
The commands are missing in 010 05, but probably the situation in 010 06 is the same.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
Understood. Is there an easy way to flat out disable system update notifications and/or updates themselves, at least for the time being?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Try by setting the check for updates to manual. If this doesn't help root your phone :D

Finally ... I have an update too. It will be interesting what will happen. The version seems too low 010 02 ... but is still something.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
I didn't even realize this was possible, lol. Thanks, I feel like an idiot. As for root, definitely planned, but I just want to give development a little more time.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Not a surprise, but the fastboot commands are missing from my update too, despite the lower version. Let's see what will happen when I remove some things :)

Edit: OK, my modified update is ready. I hope I didn't missed something. Wish me good luck. I will try to update my device as it is ... rooted :D.

Edit2: Oops a little delay caused by the fact that my recovery doesn't know the partitions by name :D.

Edit3: Failed at system/bin/dex2oat ...

Edit4: Failed at system/bin/oatdump ...

Edit5: I start to wonder... Is it this update for my device ? Failed at system/bin/patchoat

Edit6: Argh ... Failed at libart-compiler.so - due to the Xposed may be ?

Edit7: Patching system files ... it's on 50% already (for 4 minutes)

Edit8: I will not touch the recovery ... some greetings ... and it's ... done :D ... the big question is what will happen on reboot

Edit9:

fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Fail!

It doesn't start. After a minute the device restarts and starts the recovery. At least I have the TWRP recovery. I will try to flash the old kernel.

Edit: It doesn't work with it too. What did I missed...

---------- Post added at 03:16 ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 ----------

Something in /system after the upgrade is the reason. I restored my system image backup and now the phone works.

Edit: Probably I should try with a clean system image... I will try this tomorrow, it's too late here already.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keyra74:
Yes for me it s a great improvement. It finally got rid of most lags, no more launcher change at boot and dunno why but some xposed modules which didnt work before do now

After update of my 6045k dual to 06 I've constant crashes. I needed to reboot already 5 times. All apps hangs after some time and I'm unable to open play store and gmail( hangs with white screen after tap). If it persist I'll try factory reset.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
factory reset and dont waste space here

:)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Success!

OK guys I did it. My phone is upgraded and I still have the custom recovery, root access and fastboot commands. I had to use a clean system image.

Edit: I will upload my modified update file to my google drive later. It is applicable for devices with fingerprint

TCL/6039Y/idol347:5.0.2/LRX22G/v1AB2-0

prior the update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rioachim:
Congrats, do you consider posting a tutorial for modifying future updates on our own? Thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Modified update - 6039y

This is the link to the update file (md5sum: 1d367ca79270f31853ff66d9352a4f40) from version 010 01 -> 010 02 (it is for devices with fingerprint TCL/6039Y/idol347:5.0.2/LRX22G/v1AB2-0). The process to flash it is pretty simple:

- get the latest TWRP recovery from here

- restore your system image backup

- update

- make a backup of the new system image for further modified OTA updates :)

- install supersu on reboot

Please note that despite the checks for new OTA are possible (after applying this update), and the new update file will be downloaded, its installation will be impossible prior to be modified.

---------- Post added at 17:51 ---------- Previous post was at 17:29 ----------

Probably I will but not now. The process is not complicated. Only few changes are required. But of course you must know what are you doing :).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DarkZell666:
[MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] : My current FW version is already 01002 (out of the box) and my 6039Y is prompting me for direct upgrade to FW 01005. I downloaded it but did not install since I want to keep fastboot usable.

Here's the link of the unaltered update zip (md5 : d4485e0eff527044e0cd9c57e141a2fb) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0m3Cg1yD_RqbnhPd3pWb3JkY0E/view?usp=sharing

I see your modified update.zip is for 01001 to 01002 upgrade. Are we even sure version number is relevant ? What was the date of your update ?

Update timestamp from jrdfotadownloadtask database is "010 05_20150827_064648" and changelog mentions stagefright.

Here are both jrdfotadownloadtask files for more meta information :

- jrdfotadownloadtask-journal : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0m3Cg1yD_RqaUJKZldPVDZ2T0U/view?usp=sharing

- jrdfotadownloadtask : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0m3Cg1yD_RqWmlKcFk5dE1ycXM/view?usp=sharing

For easier viewing, the full text from the single record in jrdfotadownloadtask :

Also, my phone isn't bundled by a carrier, so I suppose I should get updates straight from Alcatel, which would be sooner than other users who bought their phone via a carrier ? Is this correct ?

In the end, considering the version numbers in your post, I'm not totally sure if flashing your zip will upgrade my phone or not.

Are you among the people who recieve carrier-specific update with lower FW numbers but up-to-date fixes anyway ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
I think that the firmware version depends on the region for which the device is produced. I didn't read the changelog ... but the stagefright detector shows only one vulnerability after the upgrade. Also the flip cover option is there (I don't know how to use it though :)). I see that the same option is included in your upgrade too ... if I understand French :p. My device is not tied to the operator from which I bought it with a contract (I can change the SIM card and it works), so I think the version doesn't depends on this. The fingerprint of your current version probably is different (despite that the firmware versions look close to mine ... if not the same ... before and after the upgrade) therefore my update.zip will be incompatible with your phone. You can try to flash it ... if there is a single file difference the update will fail and no changes will be made to the phone. Otherwise please wait I will modify yours as soon as possible.

Edit: Random checks of several sha1 sums reveal that my upgrade should be compatible with your device (the fingerprint is the same). So the update 010 02 for my device is equal to the update 010 05 for the others ... very strange indeed. I will modify your file though, I will upload it after several minutes.

---------- Post added at 23:11 ---------- Previous post was at 22:22 ----------

@DarkZell666 ... Deeper inspection shows that you have additional apps in /system but this doesn't matter anymore. Here is the link to the modified update (md5sum: 8e857067a4110930df642e9d7fb3c80a).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DarkZell666:
It worked ;-D

I see the modifications in update.zip aren't very complicated as such, however I can imagine the trial-and-error process must have been horrible when you first tried this.

Thanks to you, I am now running FW 01005 with fastboot still working. You're a hero [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] ;) Thank you sir ! :highfive:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rorshan:
Nice! If he can manage to get fastboot back for pioneers like me who updated early he'll be a damn legend
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
^ THIS.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
Actually there were no such process ... that's why my decision was to remove all patches for the partitions related to the boot process. One wrong step there can seriously damage the device and to make it a nice piece of plastic, but nothing more .... and without knowing how to recover it (not anymore ... though). After reading tons of information (much of it in Chinese :D) I think I can recover it even from a hard brick.

You can count on this ... I'm almost ready.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Rorshan:
The teasing... It's too much!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Tyfui:
Im an unlocked 6045Y without any ota updates yet. No root on phone or anything.

Im able to dl the FW released by alcatel, rename it update.zip and place it in the root directory to update my phone from 10 1 to 10 3.

This is correct?

Thanks

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tommihut:
I have to say I'm little confused now.. So, I have root, TWRP and stock 5.0.2-010 01 (none updates in Finland?)

Can I somehow update into 010 06 without loosing fastboot commands?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
You didn´t read it all didn´t you? Then you will know, that fastboot commands are removed only in 6039 devices. 6045 devices so far have fastboot commands enabled. Also there is thread, where you can find Petrov.0 contribution, by making OTA modification so the fastboot commands are still intact. You also didnt wrote your device version, so happy searching.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tommihut:
Yes, maybe I didn't read all and maybe I confused 6045 and 6039.

I have 6045Y. So I find somewhere the 5.0.2-010 06 twrp system and boot image and install those?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
basicly yes, but there are 6045Y sub variants. The image is from French user and i tried it, but i realized there is no czech language(i am from czech rep.) , so it was useless for me.

So you can check if you have in settings french language, if yes then probbably you have same 6045Y variants and yes, then copy the twrp and boot image to your sdcard/twrp/yourID/date/ folder, make backup of your current rom, wipe chache and dalvik chache, then restore the downloaded 01006 twrp image and hit only system and kernel(boot) image, wipe chache and dalvik chache and reboot...your apps should be there..if you encounter some hicups,lags crashes above norma, then do factory reset...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tommihut:
Ok, there is French in settings, so maybe the image suites for my device.

Is here forum somewhere more precise guide about this procedure (what's my ID, date, what to backup etc.)?

Has someone done this kind of updating (without bricking his phone)?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
I mad eit with the french version and then moved back, because of lack of my language...use search...

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
Msms8916 info is taken from build.prop. its part of the settings, our phone has it too (look to our 6045 build. prop), the i806 is same as 6045*.

I think with deleting bootloader,radio and recovery from the package someone can try to flash it, because the hardware is same. I will search for some screens or video on weibo to look if the UI is other.

I just flashed the camera.apk from the package (it has newer version) and works well and even czech language is included :). Launcher alone didnt work (maybe need also other apks,framweork i dont know).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
I made some further updates...it's the 6045F but it's also the Alcatel 3C which is based off the 6045Y...from the specs it might even work asis as an install but only someone that had already bricked theres to where they could only get into factory recovery would want to try it. You might need their recovery to install their rom's if the signature differs.

Perhaps you'd consider posting the updated apps in the idol3 apps and themes section for others (who didn't download the whole rom) to use?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
6045F its another phone its the japan version http://www.amazon.co.jp/ALCATEL-6045F-2BALJP7

i806 is chineeese version

its allways the same as our idol3...but slightly modified (radios...).

OK i will upload the newer apps that could work as standalone apps (music, camera...).

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] cas8180:
Simple the idol 3 is great enough all on spectrums except performance. The mpe is great in tons of areas except battery life and heat and software glitches here and there. So its a compromise and for me the mpe was 200 dollars more than my idol and the idol is everything I personally need if we can just increase the performance and reduce the lag as I do multi task heavily.

Sorry guys I just bought this phone, version 5.5" 6045y (came from Nexus 5). On the first boot it asked to update to latest 06 firmware but I did not accept.
