I'd need some information from the device as well. Install AIDE64 and DiskInfo from the play store and try to get the information from the device sent to me.

Also install the Mobile Upgrade Q for the Pixi 4 (6) 4G (search for it) and try download the ROM from their server. You're not going to actually reset the phone but just connect the device so it can load the information from their server. After it has finished downloading the information, go to the Mobile Upgrade Q folder in the program files and look for the downloaded folder. Open it and compress what you see inside and upload it to me. It will also help not having to download it again in the future.

Fastboot is not available in the tab. I have now try install CTR recovery from above mentioned method, it will successfully complete without error. But still when sr1-supersu-v2.78-sr1-20160915123031.zip.,it gives same error saying "boot not found".

And just to check i also try out twrp-1-8063-20170602.img using same way.but it don't working any input as mentioned previously

Tab display resolution is 600x1024
[Android General] kirito9:
Try this one- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195905017.

Also use Magisk instead to root. The problem could also be your devices uses /dev/bootimg (like the old MTK devices) as the mount point for the boot.img whereas the other MTK MM devices like MT6580 use /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11120000.msdc0/by-name/boot which is what the latest SuperSU can detect to install it systemless.

The root script may have to be modified to detect your /dev/bootimg partition if Magisk doesn't work.
[Android General] dashu42332:
i try to flash recovery it work fine. But for the root both supersu and magisk gives error.

supersu error is same as before and magisk "installation error".

I have attached the block info if you need for reference.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yes, as I said before there's no mount point for the boot.img/bootimg so SuperSU and Magisk won't work unless they are modified. I'll also do another build because that recovery gui still looks a lil big. I'll reduce the font text.
[Android General] vetooo3001:
ok i will do every thing you told me

Maybe we can flash it like for others Qualcomm Alcatel devices with locked fastboot and bootloader:

1. Temp root with kingroot

2. Flash recovery with flashify
[Android General] Ruffypp:
ok,thanks dev,but before that,what tool do i need to make a backup,can give me a link,, sorry for my noob question dev,,i have try many type of root method and it didnt work for this device,,i hope this method will work perfectly,thanks in advance
[Android General] Ruffypp:
hi dev,sory for asking a question,i just want to know,are this rom also working on pixi 4 5 4G 5045 (T) version? thanks in advance,,im succesfully root my pixi 4 and install custom recvry,

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

i think it should work friend,,because im also root my pixi 4 5045 T version using a guide from 5045 D version
[Android General] bojan.1995:
i recieved error: cannot load recovery image.

It was succesfully extrated in internal storage (sdcard)

how to fix this???

command used: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Android General] kirito9:
You probably didn't rename twrp. If you're using that command, rename the recovery you're downloading to recovery.img.

What do you mean successfully extracted in internal storage?
[Android General] kirito9:
Please do not quote the entire post if you already used the mention system.

Yes it will work. Please make a backup before flashing.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yes it will, make a backup before doing anything to your device. There are various methods on the first page of this thread.
[Android General] kirito9:
I was thinking about that but I don't think Kingroot works with android MM (does it?). Can you try to get me the stock images from your device using the method I proposed earlier.
[Android General] bojan.1995:
Tried that too.

I also tried starting adb from folder where i extracted it, so i get a message: "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file."

(Just trying to explain problem the best i can)

How to flash twrp?
[Android General] kirito9:
What tool did you use to install it? I usually use the 15 sec adb installer (google it) and install it system wide so that I can use adb from anywhere.

After doing that, make sure adb is working then reboot to bootloader. Then continue following the commands in the general root post. If you have anymore issues, restart your computer.
[Android General] drmad:
Kingroot work only for temp root, at the reboot the device is unrooted. Alcatel mobile upgrade dont work for me but i can give you stock boot, stock recovery and others info.
[Android General] kirito9:
Thanks, that's the easier way to go. I didn't know Kingroot worked. The stock boot.img and recovery.img should be fine for now. If it boots and there are other errors then the additional info can probably fix those. (graphics etc).
[Android General] kirito9:
Can I get a recovery log when you try to install Magisk? I'm trying to get support for your device with the old /dev/bootimg path. Flash Magisk and while in recovery use

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

to pull the log.
[Android General] dashu42332:
please find the recovery log ,while installing the magisk.

which rom did u flash for your 5045? cyanogenmod or ressruction remix?
[Android General] itsfeelipe:
Mokee, RR, CyanogenMod, all those roms doesn't detect the sin card, and the camera has a bug, so just flash your stock room again on sp flash tool, don't forget to remove the pre loader good luck you can find the stock room here www.needrom.com
[Android General] BoC4RDi:
I Need HELP!!!!!

i'm from Brazil, get a PIXI 4 4 (4034E)

i searched the whole google, but i thinks here is the right place for it

i tried to root it but not sucessful, i prefer to instal custom rom, i get CM13 and other stock already rooted based rom, but they are from another variants 4034A and G (i don't remember)

My problem:

i did many resets, flash to it, and used SP flash tool with another stock based image.. selected (download only) didn't booted, then FORMAT+DOWNLOAD... All options checked (includind the 1st= preloader)

Now every time i try to boot the phone (Cyanogenmod 13 or stock) the phone displays : "Enter SIM ME lock(Remains:9) < i tried some codes, and have 4 shots left.

What i have to do now? CM13 i can skip but stock i'm blocked on this screen

Also i can't find my original E model rom/firmware. (4034E)

first things i did:

1. install TWRP

2.Made a Backup of everything, but not "DATA" wich was 5GB+ and out of storage on my extSD to do it, so i said "data maybe is my apps and etc, i always need to do a data/cache wipe, so forget this one)

But i enter TWRP or flash the Stock recovery and can't do anything with that backup, it doens't even be displayed on "restore" option

i made copies of the files, the folder contains files:

TWRP > BACKUPS > 4034D (D, not E, ok it's from D firmware i possible flashed before) > 201-06-06--02-51-25_Marshmallow > Files

files:

boot.emmc.win

boot.emmc.win.md5

cache.ext4.win

cache.ext4.win.md5

cache.info

frp.emmc.win

frp.emmc.win.md5

and a lot more of files like this

There is any way to unlock my phone to use sim cards again?

I will need to go to my carrier and ask for a unlock code providing my IMEI + Phone model

Or can i do something "by myself" with your help to unlock this ( for free please) i already seen a lot of websites with "unlock system" but they selling it and i can't buy.

please you can send me mails too: boc4rdi@gmail.com

help solving this trouble

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

My carrier: Brazil > VIVO

Another info: Mobile Upgrade S 4.5.9 < downloaded from ALCATEL page, for PIXI 4034 isn't working... i see a lot of people with this problem too...

"Your device has the latest software" or the last times i tried i'm getting a connection error now..

i also fastboot oem lock to see if it works, but nothing... should i unlock it again? doesn't matter for now right? :eek:
[Android General] BoC4RDi:
Please man, i need help!

model: PIXI 4 4 (4034e) = Brazil >carrier: VIVO

i installed TWRP, made backup of everything except data (5GB+)

wipe everything

installed CM13

installed stock based rom

and instaled the stock firmware from your links

when used SPFT with 4034G firmware i selected "download only" but it don't booted ater this i selected "format all+download" and it work (the 1st too, i think i only needed to remove battery, wait 3 secs and boot again every time i flash with SPFT or i get stuck on boot)

But now i'm in trouble: " Enter SIM ME lock(Remains:9)

i already flashed it again and the "remains" back to 9, at least i don't reach 0 again...

How to solve this? Where i find the code? only my SIM carrier could provide me it? i will need to inform them my phone model and they could send me an unlock code?
[Android General] kirito9:
Please hide your long posts with the hide tags. It can be rooted with kingroot.
[Android General] kirito9:
Please do not bump your posts by double posting... Restore your backup and use mobile upgrade tool to fix your problem. Next time, backup everything and make a SPFT backup...not just TWRP.

Also, hide your long posts using hide tags, I don't want the thread cluttered.
[Android General] BoC4RDi:
I tried to post all the info i have... Hide tags ?

i'm not able to restore any backup made from twrp, not even on twrp/stock recovery/mtkdroidtools/spft.... the folder contains that arquives but nothing.

And the Mobile upgrade tool don' t work

every time it says "already have latest..." but now it is worst, it don't recognizes the phone...

please, help me

i will uninstall everything, install again and try something, but how to solve this? "SIM ME blocked"

i will need an exactly 4034 E stock firmware? to flash in spft. if you could download it and link.
[Android General] kirito9:
I don't know what you did and no logs can't help me either. Try to get some twrp logs when trying to restore.

Search Google for a 4034E spft ROM and try it.
[Android General] Mantics:
First, Thanks for letting me know about the HIDE tag, long time lurker, I just never posted anything.

I have tried the following: Kingroot, Kingoroot, Framaroot, Towelroot, and some super old instructions on here from like 2012, that, to be honest, I didn't complete, because it wanted me to download a super old version of Ubuntu, and I didn't think it would work after reading comments of other people that said something along the lines of, "Stop trying to use tutorials that are 5 years old." so, I gave up on that...

When I get a chance I'll try Kingroot again since that is what you suggest.

Thanks for the quick reply!
[Android General] kirito9:
No problem, Kingroot usually takes a few tries. By few don't give up after 10 tries..
[Android General] BoC4RDi:
i found the twrp log file inside the folder, i opened it and i can see 4034D instead of 4034E but probably is from something i flash before, it's the E model, but maybe this doesn't matter..

SPFT logs that i found too, but they are only from today, nothing from yesterday.

img. from the foolder of the twrp backup i made yesterday(see extension of archives) + the log file.log

i just flah the firmware 4034G from your thread, it works fine but still "SIM ME (remains:9)" < thats the only problem

this files can help you? i tried search roms/firmwares yesterday and today, entire day and nothing. All people have are copy of your links.
[Android General] kirito9:
Your partititons seems to be the problem, cache in particular. Format the cache then reboot the recovery and try to restore again.
[Android General] kirito9:
Test the attached Magisk file and see if it will detect your boot.img. Make a backup before testing this.

Edit: Removed the patch as it still doesn't work.
[Android General] dashu42332:
I try to install magsik patch ,but still the same issue "boot not found".

I have found the source code for Alcatel Pixi4 7 wifi 8063 tab. I am trying to upload it(around 4.5GB) . Will it be any helpful?

Thank you
[Android General] splente:
I've tested the DOOGEE X6 ROM and honestly I don't recommend it. It is a fast and clean rom with some cool features, but it has bugs. The volume button don't work properly on the pixi 4 4034 and one of the nav bar buttons don't work at all, so don't waste your time flashing it on your phone ( sorry for my bad english btw ).
[Android General] kirito9:
Ok, let me try again. The source won't help but you can upload it to github. That'd be nice.
[Android General] kirito9:

lastly im try 5045X from needrom.. remove all sim and mmc from phone clearly, auto format all except bootloader, and download all except preloader .. 1stly i on my phone without mmc and simcard .. and ok .. after i put back sim1 and on and OK and lastly sim 2 and ok …

but i dont know why preloader img have a problem … but i think b4 we use sp flash tool , we must be confirm already install 'mediatek preloader usb vcom port' on device manager ..

[Android General] kirito9:
Do you have a Github account? What message you got saying it failed or was it a case of poor internet connection?
[Android General] kirito9:
Everything seems fine as before...why do you need to flash the preloader?
[Android General] jh3141:
OK... as it happens I lost my old 4034X yesterday, so I have a fresh one new from the store today and want to unlock it, preferably *without* needing to put a custom ROM on it this time. :)

OK, so what I've done:

* Become a developer (if only it were *actually* as easy as pressing a menu item 5 times...)

* Enable "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging" in the developer options menu

* Copy twrp-3.1.0-0-4034.img to root of internal storage

* run:

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.0-0.4034.img

Unfortunately, at this point I get the following response:

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.287s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: oem unlock is false)
finished. total time: 0.292s

I've checked again, and OEM unlocking *is* enabled in the developer options menu. Any ideas? Obviously I'd rather not run a

fastboot oem unlock

at this point, as IIRC this is the point at which the stock ROM gets irretrievably corrupted...
[Android General] kirito9:
Have you tried flashing?

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0.4034.img

It seems that this method doesn't work with all the models.
[Android General] jh3141:
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed
)

Guess it's not going to work, then.
[Android General] kirito9:
I guess not. When I do get back a 4034 in my hands, I'll revert to stock and try again. I tested it on a 4034G btw.

[Android General] sparala:
Hello, i just followed the steps on my pixi 4 (5) until the flashing of recovery.img and I am stuck in a boot loop. The only change that I made was I flashed a first time one of the recovery.img file and then the second one (had downloaded two different ones). I thought that the newest and correct one would override the former but when I typed fastboot reboot then I got stuck in a boot loop. Any idea on how to get out of that bootloop ? It does not enter the recovery, just displays the alcatel logo and then reboots after some waiting time.

Edit: adb wait-for-device detects nothing ;(

Edit2: charging mode is working though
[Android General] desilynn79:
Yup. I have tried most if not al one click and pc versions to root... Iroot towelroot one click root etc..... Pc and apk versions dont work
[Android General] hacknmtk:
Try using SP Flash and flashing back to the stock recovery.img. That should hopefully get you out of your bootloop. It sounds like you used a bad recovery. [MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] may be able to help you with a working recovery.

If that doesn't work, use the Mobile Upgrade tool and do a complete firmware install on your phone. You'll lose all of your data, but the phone "should" be ok.

I take no responsibility for any damages that may happen to your phone, nor does XDA. Anything you chose to do, you do on your own and all liability is yours. No one forced you to modify your phone, and any damages are your own fault.

Please do more reading before blindly flashing things on your phone, and remember to always make a backup before doing any modifications.
[Android General] kirito9:
adb won't work in soft brick. What you have to do is download the stock recovery image and boot into fastboot (power + volume down). Then flash the stock recovery image power off your device and take out the battery and boot again. Then flash the TWRP recovery once more, the correct one.
