I edited the updater script and deleted sbl1.img .

Also,for the zip to flash,you MUST be on PURE stock 5.0,which MUST NOT be rooted.

I personally made a TWRP backup before I even rooted stock 5.0,and before flashing update.zip i just restored that pure 5.0 backup.

But again,I suggest you wait a bit,we will make TWRP and fastboot commands work on MM(or at least get TWRP working)

By the way,DallasCZ,is this aboot? emmc_appsboot.mbn

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
Okay,I did it all right then. I will test the zip once Mobile Upgrade Q returns my phone to 5.0. If I didn't break the zip and if I indeed did keep TWRP,I will share the basic modified zip.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] zeiterhtc:
when I'm trying to flash it with tmrp (6045i canadian version), nothing happens....it says : skipping Md5 check: no md5 file found and then nothing happens...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
In one of the other threads someone posted a specific version of kingroot that they got to work including screenshot...not sure if it was kingroot or "kingoroot" though. With the update being 1.2gb I'd think it's a full update and not a patchfile so really what you are on should not matter provided you alter the install file.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
kINGOROOT WORKS ONLY WITH 4.7 WITH ANDROID M
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Hmm I guess we need to go dig up the patch we used originally BEFORE supersu was available to root the idol 5.5 model, see if it works and see if there is an updated version of it for 6.0 as I recall it was originally for a different device.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] -Mr. X-:
This is possibly because MM needs the new bootloaders. Aboot typically does sanity checks and version checks. At least this is the way it is on other devices.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] murigny64:
Yes, you can't separate sbl1 and aboot, 1st check the 2nd
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] -Mr. X-:
In my experience with the Samsung devices. SBL1 and SBL2 (Aboot) have to be flashed together as you stated, but they also do a sanity check. For example. With out the MM bootloader the Galaxy S6 will not boot MM on the Lolipop BL, bootloops happen.

Flashing this update, I believe will always bootloop with out the BL. Also, there is not nay confirmation that fastboot is actually disabled, and i don't see why they would lock the platform now after leaving it open intentionally. Especially on Factory unlocked devices. Such as the device i got from Telus, it came BL and sim unlocked already.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] murigny64:
Ok, try to flash a mod zip without flashing sbl1, aboot and recovery: stuck on 1st logo (flickered).

I try now to flash unmodified one and look at fastboot ....
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
Unjustified Dev said that we should only prevent the installation of a stock recovery over TWRP. Leave fastboot disabled for the time being...

Can you please do that? I tried,but I broke the zip every time(status 6)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] murigny64:
Yes sorry it's what i do (disabling flash recovery). I sign the zip before flashing on twrp (i'll try with stock recovery later)

I've to take a whisky during flash, it's very long ! :D
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
Stop the new recovery from being installed and don't touch anything else? That didn't work?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] murigny64:
I flash the unmodified zip (with only disabling new recovery flash) over twrp.

it boot, have to wait for configure all setting, and then try to enter fastboot.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] relvas18:
can you share the unmodified zip (with only disabling new recovery flash) over twrp?

thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] murigny64:
Nice, boot fine, all setting done, enable adb and unlock oem.

Reboot in bootloader and ... fastboot see the device but lot of command return not found.

My twrp is still here.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
While I'm as impatient as the next guy, if he's already there, by all means let him ensure the thing will successfully boot THEN release it.

A couple folks commented the laggy'ness went away after a factory reset along with a few other issues.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
To me there is a significant difference after getting MM. It is a lot snappier than 5.0 .
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
If you used an archiver like 7zip and did an "in place edit" of the updater-script to remove the write of recovery you shouldn't have a problem..usually any errors are due to using a windows editor that doesn't honor the linux line feeds.

Theoretically he should be able to just upload his updater-script and you drop it into the existing zip...depends on how fast you want it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
I used WinRar,to be honest.

I am on my Ubuntu laptop now,editing the zip. I just removed the "recovery-install.sh" lines from the updater-script and the "install recovery from boot" one.

I edited it,flashed it. It is flashing,but I had cm13 on just now... I think my device is going to die,since supposedly we have to be on stock 5.0,

I just love myself and my "multitasking" moments...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
If you wipe system/data ahead of time it shouldn't matter...I haven't finished downloading yet (not on hi speed) so can't look in the file to be certain but it probably wipes system at some point near the top anyway.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:

You might have to send it for repairs.

That,or try going back to 5.0 with Mobile Upgrade Q.

Lucas.

Go back to 5.0 with Mobile Upgrade Q. Then install TWRP. Backup your stock,unrooted 5.0. Flash the update.zip.

5.0.2, clearly not Marshmallow.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] okc_car_dude:
Before I forget, Carlito17_2000, message me if you're interested in why not to (and why to) update your Stylo to Marshmallow.

Last I heard, the update was June 7th or something, with the 4 coming on the 10th. In general, they are supposed to kind of coincide. All in all, their timeline isn't as horrible as you guys may think. They do not have the Ginormous R&D departments of LG, Samsung, Sony, (The electronic super-giants) and HTC (been in the mobile smartphone game since the beginning for a very long time [built the first Android powered phone]). Even Asus, who is a well established brand, and who has previously been known for providing updates, has yet to update several of their Zenfone 2 variants (Way more different types than the main 2). So, they can't be doing all too horribly.

Additionally, let me promise you that you almost never want a rushed update to the next version. When newer versions come out (with the exception of KitKat, purposefully designed to be a lower memory operating system that could run well on lower-end devices) they take up more memory and (in my experience) almost always noticeably slow the phone down. It was so bad on my LG G2, that I went through the trouble of re-flashing it back to KitKat. Everything just took longer to happen. Yeah, it fixed a few bugs, but the majority of them had simple workarounds and were not worth slowing the phone down system-wide! That being said, LG tries to follow user demand and update sooner than the other guys, so it could've been rushed.

So guys, even though the Idol 3 does suffer from the infamous Lollipop RAM leak, I'm here to tell you that you may want to second guess the update for a phone only running 2 GB RAM.*** Based on what I've seen, you can expect your OS and UI to take up around 200 MB more. So, if the Idol 3 does not get it, I promise you that it's no big deal. It's still an excellent phone for the money.

***Although, I'm on this forum for a reason, right? I've been in the business for a couple of years and I'm quite the enthusiast. I've noticed the Idol just dropping programs not running in the foreground when doing other things (especially Pandora when it is interrupted by a voice search on the Google App). More-so than to be expected from a phone with about 1 GB RAM free at idle. I assume this is the Lollipop RAM leak at work. So, I feel like the total gain may just slightly outweigh the drawbacks, or possibly even become a wash if it can hold on to programs on the RAM longer. Therefore, if and only if they have taken the time (Lord knows they've had enough of it, lol), to make sure it runs smooth and well, I do think it has a good possibility of being better, overall. -But I haven't had great experiences with upgrades, I'll tell ya!-
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mrcorey:
I see what you're saying and all I want us a good working phone. I replaced my 1st gen moto G with this phone. It was on 5.1 and the improvement from 5.0.2 was awesome. It was like a new phone.

I got my kids Moto G 3rd green that both got 6.0 in early Dec. They got improved battery life and snappier response. Since I see this, I would like to get my current phone off 5.0.2, as I know how much better it will work on 6.0, or even 5.1.1(which was an excellent fix for 5.0.2).

So, I want this update, as it's got to be better than what's on the phone now.

Agreed. This is most likely my first and last Alcatel phone. I never heard of the brand until I went with Cricket. I think they are some cheap Chinese company that couldn't careless about support after the sale.

I saw an article the other day that Google has a list of what manufactures are the fastest/slowest to update to new versions of Android. They are considering making the list public - name and shame. I think that would be awesome.

Honestly for me I probably, too, won't purchase another Alcatel phone but to say they don't have a big R&D department is actually not true. TCL communications isn't a small company by any range and is one of the largest in the world, but came into the American market on a limited basis. They have the means to get mm updates to their phones but chose not to since the idol 4/4s was premiered before the idol 3 was even in circulation for more than a year. ZTE is the same. They release a series of phones and never update them.
