We can still try the manual method to use SPFT but guess that'll just take us back to not being able to backup because of the secure chip. Better luck next time when purchasing a phone ;).

It cost me nothing. It's one of those lifeline phones from Safelink Wireless. They run around $35-$40 on ebay I think. Aside from no front facing camera it's a great little phone for free.

I guess that's what you get for that price of a phone. Locked system.

Pixi 4 (5) (5010X) fails to boot

Hi guys! I have issues with my Pixi 4 (5) (5010X). I've tried to unlock bootloader, installed twrp recovery, and install root package. It worked fine, and after a successful boot, the superuser app said that su binary is out-of-date, so I selected update su binary via twrp, and rebooted my phone to recovery. The recovery displayed something for 2 or 3 seconds, and then rebooted. Now I stucked at boot with the animated alcatel logo. Tried to go back to recovery and do a factory reset, not helped. I've waited more than 10-15 minutes, and still on the animated boot logo. And I don't have backup of the system image. :( (shame on me) What can I do now? Can someone help?

Almost forgot, I gave a try to the Mobile Upgrade S tool, to reflash the entire firmware. Selected 5010 on start screen, and it showed that the phone has the latest software, and exited without reflash.

Update: I reflashed stock recovery and enabled adb. Now logcat is running, I will attach the output soon.

Update 2: 10 minutes of logcat output attached in a zip file.

Try custom rom if aviable

[Android General] ExEditor:
My friend bought 8050d, and there is a problem.

Since she is Russian, she don't speak neither English nor other language.

However, the following phone has limited number of languages.

Will this version add more languages to the phone (specifically Russian)?

Thanks
[Android General] hacknmtk:
4pda.ru is a good forum for Russian related questions, and another great resource to compliment what can be found here. She may be able to find more help there. I'm not sure how many people here speak Russian.

OT If there is anyone here that is bilingual in both English and Russian, please pm me.
[Android General] Heelixx:
Is this the same method for pixi 4(3.5)?
[Android General] JV76:
I have the same question too, but if you check in the first message of the post, theres one custom recovery for pixi 4 (3.5) but i dont know which are the steps to follow, like unblocking the oem or backing up or creating a scatter.
[Android General] Heelixx:
I can confirm that it works. I used the custom recovery from the first post. I did unlock the oem but I flashed the stable version of supersu from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

I had to disable then re-enabled the Superuser app. It was forcing my phone to restart. Once I did that, it was okay.

hey guys, i just realised there where posts happening here ! for some reason i only just got email notification. im going to update first post with instructions soon sorry.
[Android General] JV76:
Cool, thx! (hoping you add some info for PIXI 4 (3.5))!
[Android General] imgo:
Ok thx guys for all. I was trying to install costum boot animation and realized that in the 8050D the path of stock boot animation is "/costumpack/JRD_custres/media" So instalation via TWRP is impossible.In this connection you have to put your costum boot animation in above path.
[Android General] NoahS:
I got here, because I thought I could find a link of CyanogenMod 13 for the Alcatel One Touch Pixi 4 here.
[Android General] kirito9:
Sorry I'll add the download link later. It does support the 5045t and all other 5045 models.

To fix the no boot to recovery issue, grab the SPFT backup of the 5045 ROM from the ROMs section and look at the flashing guide under Useful info. After you've flashed it back to life, follow the rooting guide and choose ctr instead of twrp. Finally restore the backup you made.
[Android General] kirito9:
You have to specify what version of the Pixi 4 you are using. This is a multi thread for all devices with the name "Pixi 4". Do you have the Pixi 4 4", the 5", the 6" or the 7"? Is it the 3G version or the 4G? Everything you need to know is on the first page, it won't take much to read.

[Android General] kirito9:
The name of the ROM you are using would be nice.
[Android General] Siknote:
So will this work with the 5027 b?
[Android General] kirito9:
Unless your phone can boot to the bootloader/fastboot then no none of this would work.
[Android General] Siknote:
Well don't you have to be rooted for that to even be possible? which is what I'm trying to achieve
[Android General] kirito9:
Not necessarily. Install the adb drivers for Linux/windows. Connect the device to the PC. Enable USB debugging. Enable OEM unlocking. Open up a command window/terminal. Type adb reboot bootloader. If it reboots and you see nothing as in it actually just does a normal reboot. Then you do not have a bootloader. No bootloader=no root= no custom recovery= no custom ROMs.
[Android General] Siknote:
Ok thanks. I'll try it.

Thanks for the log. Reinstall your system partition then boot to it. Verify that folder is there then go back to recovery and try to make the backup again. That's what a Nexus 6 user did when he got this problem. He installed another ROM then all went well. If you have the system.img you can just install it via TWRP (the option should be there I think).

It appears that you do not need to unlock the bootloader for this one.
[Android General] kirito9:
SuperSU doesn't work....I'm not sure why. Use phh superuser.
[Android General] kirito9:
The only problem you might encounter might be the sim or carrier. It should work if your J is single sim as 5045A is single sim.

Yes, apparently SuperSU doesn't work. I'll update the post with the link and the guide.
[Android General] itsfeelipe:

Ok, I'll give a try thank you!! ? one more question, do you think you guys can develope a Android O custom rom in the future ?
[Android General] kirito9:
I'm only a beginner in building ROMs and don't know if O would be possible. I'm sure the guys at 4pda should be able to get something working for android O. It's running the latest linux kernel known for android (.318.19) so O compatibility shouldn't be a problem. The only thing you might have to worry about is how stable would the ROM be.

Restore your backup that you made. Unpack the RRemix ROM and copy the following files from /system/etc/ :

firmware - the entire folder

agps_profiles_conf.xml

apns-conf.xml

to the Resurrection Remix ROM and replace. Repack the ROM and flash again.
[Android General] Anon-E-Mouse:
I'm having issues with trying to root a 5010X. I've tried following the instructions.

I get as far as uploading the TWRP recovery image. Once this image is uploaded, the phone will NOT reboot into recovery mode. Restoring the original recovery image works, but the neither of the TWRP images in post #97 works.

Is there an alternative way of installing the superuser.zip which is currently stored on the phone ready for the TWRP recovery to work?

Or is this a matter of needing a new version of TWRP?
[Android General] kirito9:
I'm sure there's CTR 6.6 available if TWRP doesn't work for you.
[Android General] Anon-E-Mouse:
I've just tried the CTR 6.6, and it behaves in exactly the same way. Fastboot says it's uploaded, the phone says it's received it, but upon reboot, I'm still unable to access recovery options, and even an "adb reboot recovery" fails to work.

I believe my version of the phone was built in Dec 2016. So I'm wondering if they changed something.
[Android General] kirito9:
Try fastboot boot ctr-6.6-5010.img instead.
[Android General] stryker1968:
I think there is no pixi 5045T labeled on 3post of this thread.

If its okay to you could you just give me the direct link?
[Android General] kirito9:
No one has uploaded a 5054T backup so I can only direct you to what is available. 5054D.
[Android General] Charles IV:
if the otherthing [MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] suggested didn't work, try 'testing' the it. i think it's 'fastboot boot' or something like that
[Android General] Anon-E-Mouse:
Tried this as well.. The phone completely refuses to start into recovery mode unless the original 5010 recovery.img is installed. I've tried this with all 3 .img's I have available

All that happens is that the phone reboots seemingly normally, regardless of if I flashed the .img or booted straight to the .img.
[Android General] Charles IV:
have you tried 'fastboot boot <whatever_the_recovery.img_is>'

when i first tried, flashing didn't work, but this did.

... then i worked out i had forgotten to wipe cache etc.
[Android General] Anon-E-Mouse:
Yes, I was using "fastboot flash recovery *.img" last night, and following kirito9's post tried "fastboot boot *.img" with both TWRP and CTR img's today.

Either way upon reboot, the phone completely avoids recovery mode and reboots 'normally'. However if the original 5010 recovery .img is used, the phone will boot to recovery.. but I can't run the superuser script.
[Android General] kirito9:
Can you make a backup of the boot.img and recovery.img and upload them to me?
[Android General] Charles IV:
ive just remembered on my old phone i had to take out and replace the battery, then hold down the correct keys down every time i wanted to boot into recovery. For some reason as soon as i've booted up into system/recovery the key codes didn't wonk and i had to do the battery thing. Have you tried that?
[Android General] Anon-E-Mouse:
Any pointers on how to .img the boot partition from the phone?

Regarding the recovery.img, the original stock recovery.img from post #97 is one that works. I can't upload the original one from the phone as it's been flashed over.

Yeap just did that. Powered off, pulled the battery, left off for 3 minutes, battery back in, powered on (holding Vol Up), and after the initial logo screen, it boots normally, no recovery screen.
[Android General] kirito9:
Your problem is rare, and I can't really say what can be done to rectify it. Does adb in stock recovery work?
[Android General] Charles IV:
So stock recovery works...

Is the bootloader definitely unlocked?

Could the os be blocking it? (On my tablet, I can't flash a boot.img, I have to recompile the whole ROM and flash that)

Android Security patch level = 5 December 2016

Baseband version = 6580

Kernel version = 3.18.19+

Build number = 01002

I'm not entirely sure how to do an .img of the boot as Titanium won't work as I don't have root.

Output from fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability is...

...

(bootloader) unlock_ability = 16777216

OKAY [ 0.010s]

finished. total time: 0.010s

One thing I did find puzzling, is that when I did the original "fastboot oem unlock", when the flash was done, there was a menu with 3 options. However neither the volume keys, nor the power button worked. So I was unable to do anything other than pull the battery and manually reboot the phone. Not sure if this means the bootloader unlock worked or not, I'm beginning to suspect that it isn't working.
[Android General] kirito9:
On this post , scroll down to the Useful info heading and find the backup guides.

What did the menu look like? Can you recreate it? I've never seen any menu of any kind like that one you're describing.
