Ok, I just throw some things... I don't know if they will be of any use.

Alcatel source code for 200+ phones:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/

Alcatel phones are made by TCL (a chinese company) which sells a lot of phones: http://www.tclmobile.com.cn/index.php/product

There is a software/drivers page:

http://www.tclmobile.com.cn/index.php/support/driverlist

There is a software "PC Suite" which exists in English and contains some files referencing Alcatel....

http://www.tclmobile.com.cn/upload2/user_2/pc_suite/PCSuite_v1.1.3_Setup.rar

http://www.tclmobile.com.cn/upload2/user_2/pc_suite/SMARTSUITE_CUSER_2.9.3_Setup.rar

There is also an update page containing SD card image for updating phones:

http://www.tclmobile.com.cn/index.php/support/upgradelist/

Maybe the SD card can trigger flashboot or allow flashing a new image...

I have a tool from TCL which features "5054" in a dropdown list. Install the tool, when asked install the USB driver (at the end of installation). Plug your phone. Launch the tool. It should detect the phone.

I think this would be problematic. The display and storage configurations are vastly different. I do have some interesting news though. I called Alcatel today a few times and pushed around customer service people digging for information.

1) There is no published recovery image. It doesn't exist.

2) Marshmallow will be delivered as an OTA update 'soon'.

3) Alcatel publishes multiple update utilities. The "Q" series is the one relevant to this thread. The most recent version is 5.0.6. and it can be found associated with the IDOL4 at the not a link, link below this line. This updater has an option for 5054. It didn't work for me. Died at 2% after failng to identify the device.

Hey. If somebody finds a way to fix bricked 5054n I would be willing to pay something for a guide. As from my previous posts ivthink what happened is I ended up with 2 conflicting versions of gl tools drivers installrd(installed older version, removed it, installed newer version and after restart phone will not boot). I was able to access the phone with adb until Windows decided to restart on its own and force an update making the phone no longer authorized. Should have been an easy fix.

Will the Alcatel update program perhaps be able to fix this?

What are you doing exactly? I don't understand what you are refering to when you say "Gets to 5% and just sat there for an hour......"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ollakolla:
Alcatel has a series of applications to flash and recover sevices. The Q series application is for devices with Qualcomm processors. The most recent Quote series application can be downloaded from the websites for the support page of the Idol 4 device.

Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.6

This application has the 5054 listed as a target device for upgrade. We are talking about using that app to flash and/or recover a stock firmware.

My testing and the other has confirmed it will move to 5% and then hang. I've run the test myself with a USB capture and trace utility used in low level device driver debugging. The application repeats a cycle and is clearly hung. It issues a command, the phone responds, it issues another command, timesout, cancels and restarts the process.

The only noticeable change on my 5054 is that the recovery screen adds update from device and update from SD card options which I do not recall as being there prior to starting this process and disconnecting the device at the 5% mark.

Hth,

--OK

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

I'll be back home in 30 minutes or so where I have my 5054 and can upload the trace in the Microsoft Message Analyzer format which shows actual message level communication traps of the device and the app talking to each other.

Not for nothing but I'm a 20+ year windows internals developer who has written lots of kernel level code and device drivers over the years. My interest in this device lies squarely in the fact that this is the first device on the market where the hardware ships two operating systems.

The t-mobile 5055W is the exact same physical hardware. There are no distinctions between it and the 5054. The only difference is the system loaded onto the device.

My goal is to figure out how to extract the relevant certificates and IMEI data from one platform with the intention of dual booting both Windows 10 and Android on a single phone.

For me, as a nerd, who loves to tinker I can't resist the challenge. That said the first step in doing that is to ensure a recovery process which has proven to be more challenging than I anticipated.

Someone said they had a twrp. I'd like to take a shot at flashing it to my device now that those recovery options have appeared.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Those upgrade tools on Alcatels website have always been there and we've been keeping an eye there since the beginning of this (so far) impossible project. The reason it's hanging at 5% is that it's not exactly this 5054n, it's another 5054. There's plenty of them. If it's for this phone, you will be able to see it by going through the exact 5054n support, which doesn't even exist (yet).

This phone is probably equipped with the latest security "lock", encrypted bootloader and some kind of auto lock when tinkering with the system. The only hope I can see right now is if we can get the source code and use tools for qualcomm hs-usb qdloader. But who knows, so don't give up your search for solutions please. Just saying :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
The kernel source that you posted a while back seems to be complete. I checked it against the kernel source for the Idol 3 which is also Qualcomm. I've no experience building Qualcomm kernels, only Mediatek and they're quite different.

Not sure, but with this source someone maybe [MENTION=2614663]shabbypenguin[/MENTION] may be able to build TWRP instead of trial and error my ported TWRP.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
Kernel source is good to have, but not needed for a recovery. my last post no one quoted and let me know if anything happened and i havent been keeping up with teh thread this past month(s?). has teh bootloader situation changed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
There hasn't been any new development with regards to the bootloader. It's still locked and still can't access fastboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
sadly then any recovery done is a waste of time since you you are unsure. i could have sworn i posted a test image for someone to try and see once they got a dev device, if it flashes and the device works afterwards then i would worry about making twrp then.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Yeah but no one seems to own a device that they can use for testing purposes. I believe it would've worked as I tried your method of porting (copy files to stock recovery from custom) and the recovery for that device booted. It could not boot before when I did my regular way of porting (copy from stock to custom).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
You're right kirito9

Our softbricked phones can only go to the built in recovery and our new phones are "precious", hehe...

But I'm actually thinking about buying one for risky development :)

If I fail, we've learned something and I will have 4 batteries, haha :)

I do like this phone, the size, the snappiness for normal use and the brilliant battery life :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TristanLeBoss:
Kernel source code doesn't hold the solution because the kernel is loaded after the bootloader (in normal mode). What you need is the bootloader source code but the only way to have it is through a leak.

What could be interesting is the location (the server) used by the "Mobile Upgrade" customer version to find out upgrades and download them. Indeed, maybe we can find stuffs for the 5054NW. The internal version of the tool uses an internal server only available through a VPN or in one TCL/Alcatel campus.

I don't know if it can help but It maybe possible to reboot the phone in the Qualcomm 9008 mode by shorting pins on the mainboard (under the black cover, next to the camera): if someone can provide me with a picture of the mainboard.

Can these instructions be of any use:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
We've digged in to the qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 earlier in this thread and we've succeeded in connecting and recognizing the phone this way. There's plenty of flash tools and we've experimented with them already (all this is documented throughout this thread). We need source code to make a rescue ROM and to extract/create certain files before we can proceed.

Here's the link to the "magic man"

http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...agons-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil/
