INSTRUCTIONS FOR GETTING MOBILE UPGRADE Q TO DO A FULL RESTORE TO A CRICKET 5.5" Idol 3 6045O.

Most of the guides I found miss a step or 2, and it will not work. Found working instructions deep in one of the threads, and here they are. Now we can revert back to stock 5.x at any time, go crazy playing with marshmallow builds and flashing modem drivers ect. My 6045O Cricket model was detected and restored from CM 12.1 THE MARIONETTE in under an hour.

Download and install mobile upgrade Q ver 5.0.6, found under the idol 4 downloads section.

Power unplugged phone offf, plug into pc, wait for battery charging screen to go away.

Hold both vol up and down buttons and power down, DO NOT RELEASE TILL SCREEN TURNS RED IN DOWNLOAD MODE. Then hold vol up until it fully enters download mode. You only have a handful of seconds at first red screen before the device reboots.

Drivers will auto install onto pc after device is detected.

Only now do you run mobile upgrade Q (I ran as administrator to be safe, dont know if its necessary). Do not worry, it will hand at 99/100 for awhile but it will finish eventually.

If you do not do it exactly like this, it will not work on the cricket 6045O. Or at least not on mine, base pc is a windows 10 laptop.

Is there a safe and stable way to root cricket version without a pc?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
Not that I've seen and I've read a lot about the phone. Just grab the cheapest laptop you can find! You will need one for twrp installation and bootloader unlock too!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] caddfunk:
I got MM on my I3 Cricket 6045O but it now shows it as the 6045I, but I have full LTE, better battery life, and faster camera! It's like a new phone!

Any idea if cricket will be sending ota mm 6.0?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Murf.:
Well when it first was released there was something on twitter about them working on it, but haven't heard a word since. I asked Cricket chat support about it, but they are kept in the dark or given excuses. They blame it on Android and say it is when Android gives it to them. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way. Especially being Cricket will put their spin on how it works on their devices. I could be wrong, but I think that support plays the blame game when they don't have any answers. So if we don't see it by the end of the month, my guess it isn't going to happen for Cricket version thru the normal update process.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] pglickenhaus:
Still no update. I believe we can all assume that cricket has no intention of updating this phone.

Shame on them.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Murf.:
I agree. I have tweeted to Cricket support several times - no response. I have contacted Cricket support on chat and their standard answer is it is someone else's responsibility, "Android" I think they blame. I don't believe that is how it works. I think Google puts it out and it is up to the phone providers to grab it (ruin it with their own tweaks and bloat) and put it out to their users. (That's why Google has a list of poor update performers and mentioned they may start making it public.) So apparently the tweet etc. when Alcatel put it out about the Cricket version "being worked on" was just a line. Hard for me to recommend Cricket when they don't support their high $ phones with substantial updates to the OS.

Thanks a lot
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Murf.:
Hmm, did they put out an announcement? I'm not seeing it when I check for it with the "System Update" app. Do they do it in waves?

Thanks for the notice.

You can update with Mobile upgrade q

Please can you send me backup of your partiitons thanks a lot
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kingoftheafro:
If you have the Cricket 6045O you can use mobile upgrade q and it'll update your phone to 6.0.1 now. The OTA update probably doesn't go out until tomorrow. If you do the OTA can you make a copy of the update.zip. I need the partitions for my 6045O phone since the Eluga Switch firmware wiped them so when I revert back to 6.0.1 my sim isn't recognized.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Thizzrdie:
What is Mobile Upgrade Q? When I search it. It takes me to the Alcatel page. But all I DYWIYQNY is OLD firmware updates for the Idol 3. Can somebody please help
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] crumle60:
thank u for the notification but for me i jjust upgraded to a note 5 i apreciate the info
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] pglickenhaus:
Received update this morning. Phone is a slight bit faster. Not much difference. Looking forward to testing the camera. Has anyone seen any difference there?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gm2racer:
Does this update have the lockscreen bug? Anybody planning on creating a TWRP flashable ROM? My 6045O is currently bootloader unlocked, TWRP recovery, stock 5.0.2, and rooted. I'd like to keep the bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery if at all possible.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
i get the cricket update.zip but it's patching new files and can't be used for new build of rom...currently i'm waiting to someone send me the update.zip and i will upgrade my rom...?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
Alek could u possibly at some point take the cricket update and modify it so we can just flash it with twrp (and not lose twrp after flash ofc).

I want to run some thorough battery tests on the stock rom as is, but won't risk losing twrp. Thanks!

Also general question, did you guys lose lte band 12 on a fully stock update? I've heard conflicting reports on whether the cricket update disables it. Cricket uses band 12 very heavy in my area, I'd be really surprised if they did.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
I have currently cricket update.zip in my pc but i don't know why cricket made patch zip ..and the zip can't be used for roms..Currently i'm waiting to someone give me update.zip for other updates and i will start working for the new build of AlekOS :P
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Fordboy2112:
i downloaded mobile upgrade q 5.0.0 is this the correct one to get 6.0.1 ? thanks dan :confused:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jani0417:
I don't think the update depends on the version of Mobile Q. If you can choose your model, it can upgrade or restore your firmware.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Fordboy2112:
it only gives me 6045 i have the 6045O does that make a difference ? thanks dan
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
Yeah I believe that is fine, I don't think it specified the variant when selecting the model for me either.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Fordboy2112:
is it the cricket version of the update i just don't wanna brick my phone i'm a little scared to do it :/ thanks Dan
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
As far as I know there is zero risk using mobile upgrade q, it's alcatel's own app. I've used it several timed before the update to restore after testing a ROM, no issues.

And I checked xda, you just select the 6045, it will detect your variant after.

PS back up your contacts and media to PC or SD card before running, it gives u a full wipe and fresh install like the day you unboxed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Fordboy2112:
thanks but i think i'll just wait for the update i live on the the east coast i wonder if that matters ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ThaHaloMilitia:
Anyone have the firmware so I can flash it to my phone?

Rooted and flashed to Aleks rom. Now the sim card is undetected. Have this happened to anyone else?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] BIGDADDYXXL:
Yes it happen to me but to where I thought it was a phone issue it was a sim tray was bent a little bit and it wouldn't make complete contact with the pins.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gamerlady96:
oh that's awful, turns that was the issue for me too. I ended up getting a new phone, thankfully the store exchanged for free and waved the shelf restocking fee and gave me another one free.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Trinnik:
Is there any way to reinstall twrp after the marshmallow update or did I just screw myself? I noticed that it removed fastboot commands from the device and as far as I know there is no other way of rooting or installing twrp on my idol 3.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ThaHaloMilitia:
Anyone know if this version of the phone supports band 4 LTE?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nekomancey:
Yes use the Panasonic eluga restore app to restore to 5.x firmware, install twrp, update to mm with twrp
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gm2racer:
Which MM ROM did you update to?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Nickdroid86:
I can't find the Sahara tool thing. Been looking everywhere. That's what I hate every time I get a new phone. I want to root it but not sure what method is the most up to date..

Anybody know what the latest "Build number" is with the Cricket 6045O? I upgraded with Mobile Upgrade Q a couple of weeks ago and have 7VM8_ZY80.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] nanoteknics:
Has anyone tried the prepaid version (DALN5006)?

Best Buy here in the US has the Alcatel OT Idol 3 4G 5.5" prepaid phone from Cricket Wireless, but the model# is DALN5006.

Can anyone confirm that this version will root, TWRP, CM. etc?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jbach44:
thats still the 6045O (holding one of them in my hand)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] limpet:
I have a 6045I unrooted running 6.0.1 on t-mobile. I like it but it's kind of on its last legs.

If I got a 6045O from Best Buy, what are my options if I want to stick with t-mobile?

Just carrier unlock (how?) and take the 6.0.1 ota.

or Root and use stock 6.0.1 rom,

or Root and use custom rom (which one?)

or something else.

Appreciate any suggestions.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kevace1:
what or where is this app??? any links or tutorials??
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] chuckcamp:
I would root and TWRP use the modded ROM from Dallascz here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3257511 debloated , download your own Google apps package, everything works good battery life stable. No fancy features though but I like it.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Exodecim:
AFAIK(if its Cricket), you'd have to get service with them for at least 6 months and then you could request an unlock code.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
I would suggest rooting using an old version of KingRoot which is in the forums here. Install the Material Terminal and flash TWRP from there.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kevace1:
Just wanted to update and say I was able to find that Panasonic flash tool and it flashed my Idol 3 from cricket. It actually booted up as a Panasonic device, then I went ahead and followed the bootloader unlocking instructions found here in idol 3 general as well. Then FINALLY I was able to root and load twrp and run a custom ROM........it was a long process though.....
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rootittootit:
Nougat

Hey Cricket users, is anyone using the LOS nougat rom from Demetris?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
On Nougat, Using another one though. Same mechanism as Demetris, So either way you'll be fine.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] limpet:
Just to confirm, if I buy a new Cricket DALN5006 (6045O) and do not let it do an

OTA update, then I should be able to unlock the bootloader and have my way with it.

True?

Many thanks.

I think I may have misunderstood something about carrier (sim) unlocking.

I have been assuming that once a device has been rooted and a custom

rom installed, carrier unlocking would not be a problem. Is this incorrect?

I'm beginning to believe that carrier lock is a function of the phone's IMEI

and the record in a database somewhere in the cloud and that it has nothing

to do with the phone's firmware. Is this correct?

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Found answers here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock#Unlocking_technology

"...

The unlock code is verified by the handset and is generated by the manufacturer, typically by an algorithm such as a one way hash or trapdoor function. Sometimes big telecom providers change the original factory unlock codes as an extra layer of security against unlocking services. For various big brands such as Samsung and Motorola there is no algorithm but just a random code generator where the unlock codes are programmed in the phone itself and then saved in a big database managed by the manufacturer. For the other brands where the unlock codes are still based on algorithms ..."

Radio Image i lost LTE

Someone can upload the radio image for mm... ? I used the Panasonic software for go back to lollipop and them unlock the bootloader, then install twrp and i install the fly custom ROM... but i lost my LTE connection.. i will appreciate so much!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
You mean the FSG? Because you lost LTE installing another radio on top of that will not fix LTE unfortunately.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Huskied:
Flash this under terminal or you can try TWRP using the image option, But I'd use Terminal

Do the "su" option and use this command.

[BlackBerry Priv] SofaKingBored:
Battery life used to be exceptional on this device... for the last 5 days, the batter will not last 10 hours in stand by mode... goes from 100% battery to shutting itself off inside 10 hours... I checked and Exchange Services used 85% of the battery...

I have two email accounts on my PRIV... both are MSN account so basically Hotmail... one of them asked for the password to be updated due to Authentication Error around the time the problems started... I just deleted both email accounts off and re-added them... it's in stand by mode now and went from 100% down to 97% in the last 15 minutes without being opened, the screen on, an email being received or a text sent.... just simply being "on" and it's drained 1% every 5 minutes...

I'm beginning to hate this phone...
[BlackBerry Priv] hamidv2:
Try to avoid using your phone while charging the battery.

If you don't do that, maybe the battery is just slowly dying, it happens sometimes.

Your best guess is to seek either the Blackberry company if you still have the warranty, or try another battery.

hi,

i suffer from the problem of exessive alarms by com.android.phone, draining my battery.

according to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/massive-com-android-phone-wakelocks-t3249816

the solution is to turn off fast dormancy.

i checked and it seems that my provider does not support it.

has anybody got a working solution, how to do this?

here is what i tried so far:

enter the hidden service menu. this is impossible from the dialer with the number#* code. it just does not work. nova launcher helped me out here, providing me with an activity that actually got me to something similar. but the fast dormancy toggle was nowhere to be found

manipulate the sql database: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018894 the file exists, i pulled it, changed all values for fastdormancy to 0, with no effect.

anything else i could try?

btw: phone is unlocked and rooted....

I've had this phone for maybe a week now and the second screen doesn't work when the main screen is off. I think it's a loose connection because if I press down to the right of the front camera the screen works but as soon as i let off pressure it goes blank again. AT&T will most likely replace it but it makes me a little sad. I'd open it up and and fix it but I don't want to void any warranties

Whats up brother I have a note 5 to and had the same issue. To use the cinema download the 0.5.0 version of mobile sdk here at https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/ . Then just extract it and drag cinema.apk into your root and install it. That should work if not already you should find package disabler pro.apk and install that on your phone its a big help and crucial. You cant launch cinema thru the oculushome software it wil be a regular app on your phone it should just prompt you to insert you phone and go!

Take it to a Verizon store and see if they can fix it. Sounds like the replacement you got has issues, failing to load the boot image is not a common problem.

You say it now doesn't even turn on, is the battery dead? What does the screen say when you plug it in with the turbo charger?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TR4L:
Well, before it started booting into the bootloader, the camera light turned on and that's it. I thought that it just didn't charge, so I plugged it into the smart charger and the usual dead battery came up on the screen. I Let it charge to about 50% and turned it on; that's when it went to the bootloader. Now it does nothing. Nothing happens when I try to turn it on.
