[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solquest3:
Thanks a lot!

Just going for dummies (cause as I said I don't remember anyting of what I've done when I rooted and flashed the old phone) I have to

-power off the device

-connect it with the USB cable to the PC. Wait the battery symbol to disappear and hold both volume keys and the power button.

-hold the volume up button

-save the twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol347.img file on the pc

-open command promt in that folder and type the commands you wrote here?

Another thing I don't understand is the difference between

fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot <TWRP filename>

and

fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash recovery <TWRP filename>

I start with the zip file now...

Thanks again!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
fastboot boot starts the program without actually flashing on your device. This keeps the original recovery, kernel, etc.

fastboot flash actually installs it on your device permanently

EDIT: if you haven't done it yet, you will also need a mini-pack of adb and fastboot drivers in a folder on your pc. Copy the recovery into it also. Then open your command prompt from that folder.

Hi i have 6039Y build number 01002, i guess this is the unupdated OS, but as same as bunch of ppl here i cannot flash or boot TWRP (fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3-6039y-with-gdisk.img

downloading 'boot.img'... ------ OKAY [ 0.368s] ----- booting... ------ FAILED (remote: unknown command) ---- finished. total time: 0.369s.

I'm trying to repartition the internal storage but i cannot install the TWRP in any way. I've already tried with both guides for the process but it refuses to flash the custom recovery.

I'm using Windows 7, and i have installed SDK, Minimal ABD & Fastboot, QPST and Mobile Upgrade Q 4.8.7 but nothing helps.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
It's most likely because the recent update from Alcatel disabled fastboot ability. You need to restore that.

Have you followed these steps first before trying to boot TWRP? The QPST part must be done first.

http://xdaforums.com/idol-3/development/6039-guide-how-to-return-fastboot-t3201077

Also, double check USB debugging and also, I always keep my Windows Device manager open just to ensure it recognizes the device as it should when you plug it in, and changes when in Download or bootloader mode.

So i was able to boot TWRP 2.8.7.0 img on my phone and back up my data, but when i try to load the TWRP with gdisk img, i don't get any response, does any1 knows what might be the problem
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridmuncher:
Having trouble with the 6039Y 010 05 OTA update.

So new out of the box I firstly followed [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION] 's great guide on the hidden 8GB on the phone.

Then having read a few threads and having received some great answers to my questions (again thanks [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION]) I fastbooted [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION]'s TWRP and made a complete backup of everything.

I then proceeded to flash TWRP to the phone properly.

I then used the file explorer in TWRP to find the OTA update.zip (that I had previously downloaded to my phone without installing) in /data/data/com.tcl.fota (or something similar) and copied it to my sd card.

I then used [MENTION=6866672]petrov.0[/MENTION]'s OTA modifier script to alter the update (I had to rename the file with a capital 'Z' - "update.Zip" for the script to work)

I then installed the modified update and wiped dalvik/cache before rebooting.

On the boot I waited for a while (approx 10min) but then got the impression that it was not going to progress past the "Alcatel - Smart Move" animation. I suddenly remembered that at some point when using TWRP I had actually installed the SU binary by accident (swiping right without thinking about it when I wanted to reboot). So I assumed that the boot would not complete having read about this in another thread. I switched off the phone. Booted to recovery and reinstalled my original backup (made before flashing TWRP to the phone and before installing root). Phone booted without problems.

Now however when I try and install the modified update zip it exits with an error. I have tried to rewipe cache/dalvik and /data and reinstall backup.

Error is below:

Verifying current system...

"/firmware/IMAGE/...........etc..../TMO/COMMERCI/MCFG_SW.MBN" has unexpected contents.

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard.....etc etc

Error flashing zip '/sdcard......etc etc

Anyone got any ideas? How come the modified zip installed first time with no problems but now exits with an error?

Also as I made the backup before I flashed TWRP to the phone (using fastboot command) but having reinstalled the backup TWRP is still on the phone. Is that to be expected?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrov.0:
Your device is partially upgraded at the moment therefore the upgrade fails when verifying the content of the modem partition (which is mounted in /firmware during the upgrade). Restore the backup of this partition if you have such. Otherwise modify the upgrade file by hand and remove all checks,patches and deletes related to files under the /firmware folder and also for safety remove the firmware folder from the update.zip. Good luck.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridmuncher:
I ticked all the boxes available when performing the backup with TWRP (system, data and boot) just didn't backup cache and the option to backup recovery was not there (which explains why the TWRP recovery is still installed after restoring my backup).

I also ticked all the boxes when restoring so does this mean that the required partition is not in my backup?

I will have a look and see how far I come with this

Thanks! and thanks for your help again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petrov.0:
Yes, there is no option for backup of the modem partition in the recovery (I do such backups from the command line through adb, but understand that not everyone feels comfortable with it) ... probably I should include this partition too in the GUI ?!? If you have difficulties with the modification of the updater-script give me a link to the modified update.zip and I will help you with the cleaning :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridmuncher:
Once again you are a gentleman! I'll have a look myself and then probably end up uploading it somewhere once I get home tomorrow.

Another symptom is that I don't seem to be able to install the su binary via TWRP anymore. No idea why. Must in some way be related to the partial upgrade.

If I end up needing to use Mobile Upgrade Q to fix everything will it install 010 05 automatically? Therefore losing fastboot commands? Does anyone know if Upgrade Q will work through Virtualbox (I have only Linux)? Your guide on restoring/modifying those commands requires windows. Can I follow your instructions by running Windows XP on virtualbox?

Apologies for all the questions.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridmuncher:
I removed all comments about the "apply_patch_check" regarding the /firmware folder in the updater-script.

I then used OTA Verifier app to check the zip and it identified more lines in the "apply_patch_check" part of the updater-script that produced errors, all within /system/bin

Once I removed those lines I flashed the update in TWRP but it now fails right at the end of the updater-script in the "rename" section with the error that its a Read-only file system.

eg.

rename("system/custpack/app/removeable/Games_V2.0.55_20150408_17236_forIdol3.apk", "system/custpack/app/removeable/Games_V2.0.271_20150623_forIdol3.apk");

I have mounted all partitions within TWRP as read-write, and all the earlier patches in the script seemed to apply ok.

Anyone have any ideas? Is it because the first / is missing in the updater-script? I have compared with unmodified OTA updater-script and the rename section all have no / before "system"

Update:

Tested the update-script with / in the rename section didn't work. Still a read-only file system error. Now I don't know what to do.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartgid:
So I have OnePlus One screen problems. First I dropped it and the screen cracked, so I had it replaced. After it got replaced I now have it back, but before screen worked and touch didn't, and now touch works and screen doesn't. The screen doesn't turn on at all, but when it is plugged in I know it is turned on and I can browse through the filesystem of the OnePlus One via my computer and also when I swipe I can hear the unlocking sound. However, data, WiFi and ADB is disabled so I can't get into there. However, saying Ok Google I can hear the response it gives me so I tried calling a friend but the call never went through. It's running CyanogenMod 12S with TWRP and Xposed flashed if that helps any. I did try following the guide using ColorOS to restore it as if it's hard bricked, but since it never seems to boot into fastboot (spamming fastboot devices in cmd never shows anything) I can't seem to do anything. I tried this on both of my computers running Windows 7, and it never shows up in fastboot, so I don't know which COM port it is to finish the guide, because it wouldn't show up abnormally. Can anyone help me figure out how to get the phone into fastboot? Thank you all so much! Also I don't really have any pictures or videos because I don't have another phone/camera to take them with. Sorry!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartgid:
Update: I was able to get it into fastboot by getting it into recovery and then typing adb reboot bootloader, but that's about the extent of it. I have Bacon Root Toolkit and stuff and I'm willing to wipe my phone (because there isn't anything that I don't have a backup of) but all I really want is a solution to fix it. It did show up a few times as QHSUSB_BULK (twice, actually) but it also seems to be working, because if I take a screenshot, then reboot to recovery, I can pull the screenshot from the memory to my computer. For some reason the phone isn't showing up at all except in fastboot and recovery now.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayank6169:
I had the same issue with my OPO on Exodus, what I did was I pressed the power button to open the screen then unlocked the screen like usual and then brought the notification bar down and change the brightness by pressing on auto brightness button multiple times and in this whole process my screen was black then I successfully turned on my phone's screen. It also work if you just reboot the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace 3] rami.galaxy7272:
Hi guys!

It is a bit crazy story so I will give you some details about it ...

I have an Ace 3 duos GT-S7272 crazy device. I used to have so many issues with it but managed to solve it such as when I encrypted the external SDcard and it was the stupidest thing to do in an Android (cause it didn't actually encrypt a shi*) it just caused my phone to stuck in a bootloop as long as any SDcard is in it, remove it and all will work fine

- ((I somehow managed to fix it and it worked with SDcard but it used to reboot once then on the second boot it was almost perfect!))

- one day out of a sudden,

stuck in a strange bootloop

!! it boots fine to the startup and I can use it normally for 2 to 4 seconds and it REBOOTS again and again!

- I wiped cache didn't work ,,, still bootlooping

- I tried Safe Mode the same bootlooping

- I am leaving the Factory Reset option as my last resort and I am seeking your help guys so I don't lose my

really important information

on it !

- it is rooted ((but as I googled around I get the stock menu of Vup+M+power))

- I don't have a back up ((I have bad experiences with Backups))

- I strongly think that it can be saved without losing my information, cause it starts up normally for few seconds ((2 to 4))

I really appreciate any help guys,,, I have been googling for days about this :(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GhettoGirl:
this list may not be complete, you can help me improving it if you want

Thanks to the following users for their help improving this list: daspex

=== Safe to remove (free up some space) ===​

The following list contains app which are safe to remove to free up some space in the rom.

You can gain some hundred megabytes of free space by removing this apps from the system.

Gmail (2 mail apps are unnecessary)

Google+ (how the hell uses G+ anyways)

Google Play Books

Google Play Games

Google Play Kiosk

Google Play Movies

Zinio (some random magazine app)

Amazon Kindle (good reader app, but way to huge for a system app ~100MB)

Omlet Chat

Bbbler Actors for Omlet (comes with latest OTA update)

Flipboard

Facebook (need it? install it as a user app. needs too much space)

Maps (i personally think Google Maps on this device is completely useless)

Street View

Chrome Browser (reinstall as user app if you use it, another app which eats up space in the rom)

EMusic

Contacts (why is this app actually installed?)

Gallery (default image viewer)

MyASUS (classic bloatware app)

RemoteLink

ShareLink

Mirror (uses front camera for a mirror)

WebStorage

What's Next

Google Drive

=== Safe to disable (remove at your own risk) ===​

The following list contains background processes and services which are safe to disable.

CMService & DMService* (get rid of OTA update notifications and reduce network usage)

Bubbles (if you don't care about live wallpapers disable it)

PlayTo* (never tried this out, maybe to transfer video?)

EnergySaver*

DLNA Service*

* confirmed save to remove :)

CAUTION: always make a backup before you remove a app in case you want to restore it later not all apps are available on the play store!

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK ANYTHING OR END UP BOOTLOOPING! REMOVE AND/OR DISABLE APPS AND SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DON'T BLAME ME IF ANYTHING STOPS WORKING! I TESTEST EVERY APP/SERVICE BY MYSELF AND IT WORKED FOR ME!​

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Beaver_XT:
Don't delete Asus launcher If you don't have any launcher installed and currently in use, it'll throw your device in to boot loop.

But Asus Demo is safe to delete.

I have the Lollipop .33 version as far as I tried if any app associated with quick settings is deleted, you can't go to Asus Customize settings and change the apps order anymore.

When you press Quick settings options it'll throw you an "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." error. But apart from that it doesn't effect the system stability.

The .24 doesn't have this problem.

My suggestion is when you have a freshly and fully installed Lollipop .33 and want to delete some apps like Splendid, go to Asus cuatomize settings and change them to your liking first. Then you can safely delete system apps.
