Yes, I do, I have 2 ROMs labelled D6UUPU0. But it's not source code. It's a flash program + a rom like the D76UM60 bundled in a ~1gb exe file. I have no idea if they work though and what's the difference between the 2 files. One is from december 2015 and the other is from october.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Sounds like Alcatels basic Upgrade Software, so maybe there's a chance we can use it on our softbricked phones, via the built in recovery?? I will try as soon as possible... Is it all included in your download?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TristanLeBoss:
You can try to download D76UM60 and see if the software does detect your phone and offer to flash it. Indeed. the software in D6UUPU0 package is the same one.

I was able to restore my semi bricked Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL

Somewhere In The 73-page Madness of a forum somebody posted a link to a T-Mobile download or update for the exact same One Touch Fierce XL but slightly different build number I have good news it worked it put my phone to T-Mobile variant but since MetroPCS and T-Mobile have merged my phone now has service and is no longer bricked so if you find the link that I had because I'm not sure if I can post a link it is in the 73 Pages somewhere I believe maybe somewhere along page 43 to 45 but don't quote me my phone was completely unresponsive but now it works great I had rooted with kingroot and no matter how many times I rebooted my phone it would never get past the optimizing applications pop up so the update for the T-Mobile exact variant of the MetroPCS works and restores your phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodEe23:

Awesome thank you no harm taken it's all good
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TristanLeBoss:
Don't worry ;) Also, if someone figures out were they come from, I advice him to keep silent and do the same as me: share the files.

What I don't know is the difference between the "UP" and the "UM" revision? If someone figures this out. For example, version D6U exists in these 2 "revisions".

The first 3 characters are always the version number (from ro.build.version.incremental in build.prop).

Because version number are incrementals (D64, D6T, D6U, D76, D79) and files were at the same place, I am also wondering if all 5054 can be flashed with the D76/D79 roms...

So why are these ROM's contained in an exe file? Is it a flashing program? Can these be configured to work on a linux box?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TristanLeBoss:
They are indeed bundles of the Alcatel flashing program (incl. drivers) including the ROM. That's how they are distributed internaly (I didn't do it ;) )

You may want to fire up a Windows PC or VM to do the job ;) You can find ready to use Windows VM images for Linux here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/windows/ (They are made to test websites under various configurations of IE/Edge.)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
I meant unlocking the bootloader, not the network restrictions :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowneyJM:
There's gotta be something within the flashing program that somehow gets around the boot loader or we just use the program to flash our custom recovery/ROM's. Does anyone know anything about installing a second bootloader? They use one for the kindle fire and it somehow bypasses the stock bootloader and allows installation of a custom recovery/ROM?

"You can compile TWRP yourself by following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943625

To put it short, you will need:

-A Linux environment, either virtual or native

-A full Omni build tree, about a 15 or 20GB download

-A copy of the stock recovery and/or kernel source for your device

-A basic knowledge of adb, fastboot, Linux command line, make files, and strong ability to figure things out on your own via searching on Google"

Are you trying to revive a bricked phone?

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

On request of the selling brands, fastboot is not enabled on these phones. What this app is probably doing is putting the phone in the Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 mode and flashing the ROM this way.

You can do that yourself using the "emmcdl.exe" program and the corresponding Firehose flasher (for your phone, it should be "prog_emmc_firehose_8909_lite.mbn"). You also need ROM files: rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml and all the needed MBN files.

What you need to do is find a way to extract the ROMs files from the big EXE I provided. When you execute them, they auto-extract in a folder in your "C:\Users\{your-username}\AppData\Roaming" folder. In one of the sub folders, you will find another large EXE file (~1gb): this file probably contains the ROM files in a zipped form in its "data" sections. You need someone with good understanding of the PE format and able to use IDA (a disassembler).

I had about 5 different modules working on my phone, including some that change your status bar. Before my brick that is. Hehe.

Just be careful with modules that change your home screen functions or lock screen. I haven't messed with those yet. Any other modules that involve within an app will work. Such as gravity box. :)

I had a YouTube module that plays in the background. That was my highlight of the week. Also, I had my volume panel expanded so I can control media, and phone volume. It was great :D

Had my status bar change to light blue color, and added the date and month. Also centered it.

Again , just be careful what you actually do with exposed.. I mainly use it for my YouTube app.

Reason why I reflashed was because Snapchat blocks users with exposed framework.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
As I wrote in the beginning of this thread, after de-bloating all metro, T-Mobile, and functions that I could see drained my battery (always researched and froze every system file/apk before), I deleted, and my phone got even snappier. But the thing is, it was snappy even before.

I always experiment with some settings, like:

Turning services I don't need off, especially inside Google Play services and Facebook.

OOM/ram settings.

SD card cache size.

Entropy.

CPU governor, profile.

GPU.

Greenify.

Moving apps to system and odexing them.

And more...

But that's what I do with any phone.

We all have different needs and expectations, so my choices might not be the best for someone else.

Just be aware of the fact that factory reset will only delete user data and restart the system partition as you left it. So if you change anything in the system, you won't get the original system back if you brick.
