[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dingolo:
I just picked up one these phones a couple of days ago. I thought I had soft bricked it. It got stuck on the boost splash screen and recovered itself after about 10 minutes. The thing just seems like an LG copy with physical keys. I was able to bring it into the android L recovery. Power, home key, volume down. When it flashes Alcatel. Volume up and press the power button a few times. Similar to the HTC phones. My question is when I first activated it. There was blue android splash screen. Is that when the boost stuff flashed itself? Almost seems like it locked the boot loader then. Read a little more and seen to just do the OEM unlock. Makes sense and seemed to have worked. Anybody has advice on what to do next? I'm about to go ahead and try some things I have success in the past with different phones.

im interested in knowing if you got your bootloader unlocked i attempted and got "waiting on any device" i figured it was an issue with the abd fastboot drivers from what i read online,so i tried using universal drivers and despite getting the serial when i type adb devices i still got "waiting on any device" when i tried "fastboot get-oem-unlock.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dingolo:
I'm new on here so bare with me I'm not certain of etiquette and such. I received an email saying to make sure I'm posting about the right device. I think the elevate from Boost and Virgin are probably the same phones. I just switched on OEM unlock in developer options through settings. It asked me if was sure. I have not gotten to hookup to a PC yet but I assume you are talking about something that I would call a fastboot adb. I have downloaded a terminal emulator and when I punch in "su" it says. "root@Pixi3454GSPR:/ #"

Whether I have that switch on or not. Is there a command you can punch in to tell you if it's unlocked without rebooting into boot loader?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dingolo:
Unlock elevate

Where I'm going with this is that it says it is rooted as a one touch pixi. There is much more stuff about the pixi than the elevate on the pixi forum. Post 1192 on page 120 of the pixi 3 forum states that the elevate has a different chipset than the pixi. I seen some earlier posts on this thread that are saying the same thing and that this device is a Qualcomm device.

If we are talking about the Alcatel OT_5017B to my knowledge Odin doesn't work, then again I have never tried because I'm not sure how to get into DL mode on the phone...and I'm not sure if Odin works in a device thats in hs-usb qdloader 9008 (Emergency Download Mode).. as far as the unbrick method I know works i guess I can write one up...and start a new thread... give me a little bit, if I am taking to long to post it and stuff pm me and I'll give you a crude step by step.

there is all the files I have at the moment on this device, the instructions are a little out of date but, let me know if you have any questions.

you want to download and use image mmcblk0.bin

but you can try either one.

If anyone can get the SPC code or share it with me I would be pretty thrilled.

Root for Alcatel onetouch
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GWARslave119:
ok I'm new to this and thought maybe i'd look into unlocking and rooting my phone so I can hopefully speed it up to about what it used to be. I know computers well, just phones aren't my thing. If I follow the instructions right shall I expect a chance for it to fail? And are the files on that google drive address up there what I would need to fix the phone if it were to soft brick?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddjanke:
I have the Virgin Mobile version of this device. I have an unbricked one and a bricked one (won't boot past alcatel logo screen - goes black) I have tried to use your guide and files to boot my phone from sd card, but I don't think they are compatible with my device since your files are Boost Mobile. It just hangs on the alcatel logo screen for hours (which is different from the screen going black so maybe...?)

I was wondering if you could tell me how you generated the backup of your device. I have been able to extract all of the partition .img files (boot, system, recovery, etc.) but I am not sure how you generated the .bin archive file for mmcblk0.bin such that it could be unpacked with 7zip. Any insights or instructions you can share? Thanks!

[MENTION=7271867]r4e_hafintosh[/MENTION]

I couldn't get this to work on my boost Alcatel Elevate 5017B. I don't see how Android will boot from the sdcard.

I know this is an old thread but would you mind answering some questions for me? We haven't been able to get it to work. Windows won't even recognize my device but linux does.. However i can't mount it or do anything else. My phone is stuck on the Alcatel boot logo and will not go any further. I only have access to recovery. What bricked it was a method similar to wolfdroids that was suppose to work with Kingo Root. Instead it bricked my phone.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

@ ddjanke

Did you get any errors extracting? The first time i extracted the files i had CRC errors and was missing files. The second time i copied and pasted and it worked. IDK it could have been something on my end.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val3nteen:
Alright, where do I start? :rolleyes:

So I'm not really and expert on flashing stuff on Android. I was pretty comfy not rooting my phone for more than a year. TBH, I didn't really need it, because I was not a power user, but I've recently installed a root app called King User (King Root, etc.). Before you say anything... YES! I know it is the lazy way to do it. It made things easy for the very few apps I could not use without root permission. However, when I received the latest OTA (5.1.1. security update) I had to disable root authorization in order to install it. So I disabled it using the app's built in authorization setting.

The OTA update failed and gave me the error with the opened up android and the red exclamation mark. So I thought that the app messed something up. Disabling in house did nothing. Uninstalling it did nothing. So I decided to replace it with SuperSU using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/replace-kinguser-supersu-t2903003. I bet I'm not the only one who had problems after doing this. This, obviously, made things even worse. After SuperSU deleted KingUser and updated itself the phone remained stuck inside a bootloop. So I figured this replacement process messed up permissions.

Here is where it gets tricky, or rather stupid... My bootloader is locked and I have no custom recovery (because like I said, I just needed temporary root access for a couple of apps and wanted to avoid the hassle). When I enter Recovery mode in default fastboot it gives me the "No command" error (probably because of SuperSU permission). Now I don't even know if the phone is rooted or not. USB debugging was not enabled last time the phone was on and now I think I'm stuck in this point where nothing works without something else. I've been reading a couple of threads around here and elsewhere and I don't know what to do next... Doing a full recovery now would probably be asking for a lot, but right now, I would be happy if I could just do a factory reset or something...

Anyone? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Start here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53439068. I'd return to stock and start all over, it will wipe your device, see the return to stock thread linked there. Then don't be lazy and read some more in the thread I linked you to. The n5 is one of the easiest devices to work with and you don't need kingroot, tool kits and junk like that
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deelan_chan:
You should flash TWRP custom recovery on your phone that way you can copy your personal data to your pc first, then you should flash the factory image ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val3nteen:
Thanks, but that is not possible, as I have not enabled USB debugging before bootloop. I need to unlock the bootloader (wipe) to install TWRP and backup data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
Can you get into fastboot mode? You can flash twrp from there no USB debugging needed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Problem is his bootloader is locked, so follow fastboot for unlocking bootloader and then clean install latest factory image. Also, flash twrp after everything is working (and relock bootloader if you want) so this does not happen again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] val3nteen:
Did just that. All fine now. However, I had to flash all .img files separately in fastboot (system, boot, cache, etc.), because adb was not working. Had some problems with the drivers. The device did not show up correctly within device manager. Fortunately, I did not loose anything. Had all my contacts and apps backed up with Google.

Thanks for all advice! I appreciate everyone's guidance.

Hmm, because this time I'm changed fstab to f2fs version in recovery too, so maybe this is a reason, it can restore only f2fs backup... You can just reflash ROM and format /data + /cache back to ext4 now.

For this rom i've need an official JB rom 4.4.1?Clean install?

Where i can take it?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] #Henkate:
There is JB official 4.1.2, not 4.4.1 like you wrote. If you are already on 4.1.2 with mkaluza kernel or cocore kernel or you are on 4.4 rom, then you don't need to flash official JB.

You need a custom recovery and you get it:

1)by flashing cocore kernel while you are on jb

2) by flashing mkaluza kernel while you are on jb

3) by flashing any kitkat 4.4 rom

Here you find official jb: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9070/ .
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] zonalimitatore:
I wanna explain.

Now im in 4.4.4 Aosp Carbon KK,based on 4.1.2 official.

When i try to flash this or other release,the flash procedure work well,but in the first boot,never stop loading,but no bootloop.

Continue to loading and loading.

Why all this?

I wrong something?

_Install official 4.1.2

_Install Carbon KK

_Install RR

Many and many time for response,reboot,many errors 'bout system and trebuchet.

Why?What i wrong?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] SoloRazr:
What I did is to:

Install official 4.1.2

Install Carbon KK

Reboot to Recovery

Did a Full Wipe (Including Cache and Dalvik)

Format System

Flash Resurrection Remix

Reboot

Booting will take some time so be patient.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] zonalimitatore:
I do the same.

Maybe i wrong with the root?

Its very strange,cause i flash other rom and the result its the same
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] Patlcs:
flash cm 12.1 first from any kitkat recovery

when you finish installing cm 12.1 let it boot

reboot to recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache

install resurrection remix without wiping system

install gapps

and reboot

if it bootloops, then return to recovery, wipe system and install rom again

usually, a clean install rom will usually take at least 10 - 15 mins to boot completely

Hi everybody!!! i flashed RR from SlimKat 444 but before i tested CM 12, by Hastalafiesta, Omni And CM 12, by Polish and i made a little bit of everything, including install NovaThor settings and insert command lines on build.prop file. At last i was trying to install last Omni and completely killed my S Advance and had to restart from beginning (Odin with stock 4.12, root, CoCore Kernel TWRP recovery, Carbon KK 444, SlimKat 444 and finally RR 5.11). I've not obtained good results till now with the RR rom and a not too old (2014) improvement that i found here in XDA (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784921) HBBTweaks this was the best perfomance ever, good stability, apps in general are in function as well, i've been testing Shazam and Angry Birds Transformers that lags a lot in other roms.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] rodlucen:
when i was installing the rom i saw the governor options and i saw something about possibility of configuring after the install too, but i don't make any changes in this because i installed HBTweaks.

About the bug, i saw too, but it's no problem for me i'm satisfied with the default vibration intensity

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Like i posted before, i don't chose any of the governor options because i would install HBBTweaks, and i did, but i think it isn't like NovaThor, it seems like the commands are installed directly on the system and can't change once inserted. You can try to run installer again and apply other governor option, maybe it overwrites the previous one. I don't know, Mr Polish could have a better answer for that.
