[MENTION=7721565]KawaiiNeko_[/MENTION] There may be something here for you and the other users with the hidden bootloader.

[LOCKED][DEV-TOOL] FIsH is the hack to boot whatever you want - ON ANY* DEVICE

You mind giving the ./install.sh --check a try to see if we can get something going? Don't worry about the compiler, that would be me ;).

ROM 5010D

Hi I'm Ras and this is my first message.

I tried the cm13v2 in my pixi 4 5 3g (5010D) and I loved it, but GPS doesn't work, then I had to find an alternative. Anyone had found a solution?

Then I tried the last AOSP, but I think it drains my battery really fast.

Does anyone test a ROM for 5010D that works better than the stock one? Thanks

alcatel pixi 4 5 4G

can anybody tell me if this is real????

android-nougat. tech/2016/10/alcatel-pixi-4-5-8157

try this link idk why cant post it
[Android General] kirito9:
It is not and you do not have enough posts (10) to post links.
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
Sounds about right. I tried flashing all of these ROMs before, including ones with and ones without that partition. I'm guessing if I flashed a ROM without mobile_info, the existing mobile_info on the phone (from factory, or from another ROM that had it) would prevail. So whatever is on the phone now is probably from the ROM with mobile_info. And that would have been in place when I managed to get a ROM to boot. So I think I can just ignore this for now, and it's unlikely that it's causing my phone to never get pass the boot anim.

Not my backups I'm afraid. They're backups I managed to find on the 'net. Supposedly from stock.

That seems to be a coincidence - a name collision only. That seems to be an app to sync contacts and calendar from phone to PC. The mobile_info.cpp file seems to get the values by sending "AT" commands, and I think it's talking to the phone over USB rather than running on the phone. I think it's unlikely to be directly accessing the mobile_info partition.

Alcatel Pixi4-6 3G 8050D Stock Rom

Hi theeere

I brought my phone back to vendor and told them that its defect/broken and got an New Phone with Stock Rom, so i made a Backup of my Stock Rom with Scatter File :fingers-crossed:

i cant post links here so you have to type the http.. yourself.:rolleyes:

Would be nice if anybody can tell me how to remove the custpack.img in there in order to flash it with SP Tools.

And what the hell is the secro.img ?

Download Link of ROM

[Android General] kirito9:
That's great, always good to have the stock ROM. What do you mean by removing the custpack tho?

Here's a nice thread explaining what the partitions mean.
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
Can you help walk me through trying the ./install.sh --check , i have experience using adb but i have not done anything like this
[Android General] kirito9:
First of all you would need a Linux distro, I use Ubuntu 16.04.

Next step is to setup git.

Open up a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T then type

sudo apt-get install git

and hit enter.

Then type

git clone https://github.com/Carbon-Fusion/android_FIsH.git

and hit enter.

Type

cd android_FIsH/

and hit enter

Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the PC.

Type

./install.sh --check

and hit enter.

If you have a problem with adb access, check here. Go to the readme at the bottom of the page.
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
Okie ill pull out my old ubuntu drive (also use 16.04, its the one i mainly use for adb stuffs cuz its easier using a linux command line to me :3 ) ill try it out when i get home
[Android General] GartimusPrime:
So I did a search in the thread for the pixi4 4.5 (4060w) only to see that, as usual, I am SOL. I bought and own 5 of these (they were 10 cents at my local Wal-Mart for some reason) so I am more then willing to test anything if there is anything available. If I break one, I only loose ten cents and have 4 more to fall back on.

Edit:

Upon further reading, I see it has a different chipset. I have a little experience with Android, building roms and rooting. It is interesting that there seems to be no download mode for this device, that I can access anyways.
[Android General] Keiko87:
Ya me want to flash my phone without the custpack.img, which is part of the rom.

But when me uncheck the image file or modify the scatter file, the phone won`t boot :mad:

Also there are 2x protect partitions which splitting my 8gb storage into 2x 4gb :rolleyes:

docs. google. com/document/d/1_lzyiZ8pYRlRRq2v-4KKaiuYPBZXBHdWIthEInJRhAQ/edit?usp=sharing

btw, tell me if i should remove password of the ROM, because its a friends account me using. :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] eyedawg:
Hello, I have an Alcatel OT Pixi 4-5 (5010) (3G MODEL) but I was unable to root it. I did manage to flash twrp successfully, but it doesn't have that "install" option. Only options I have are apply update from sd card and apply update from adb. Using apply update from sd card none of the offered roots (phh, superuser, modded) worked, it could not open them, I got an error. I also tried with kingoroot but the rooting failed. Twice. Please help if you know how to root it :(
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
I've never heard of TWRP not having "install". Are you sure you booted into the TWRP recovery? Perhaps you're still running the stock recovery.
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
With what it sounds like, you are still running the stock recovery and tried using the root exploits with the apply update option which wont work..maybe try installing twrp again (and with the recovery was it touch capable or did you have to use the volume buttons & power button to control it? Easiest way to tell if it was twrp or not without a picture)

[MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] i got home to having my internet dead so whenever i get internet back up and good ill test out fish to see if my phone is compatible for you but until then i guess, not unless i have a open chance to boot from my one ubuntu drive i use for recovering computers at school and test it out then
[Android General] kirito9:
This is what I'm trying to get.
[Android General] kirito9:
You cannot remove the custpack.img as you said it's a part of the ROM. This is a custom partition by Alcatel and cannot be removed. Only way would be to get a custom ROM like CM12.1. I tried once to merge the contents of custpack into /system and boot the ROM. After booting I would get random reboots, I never tried it again.

Also those 2 protect partitions are necessary for your device to boot. What you're talking about would require the kernel source to change the partition layout of this device. I've never done it but should be possible.

And yes, remove the password. The password is only for archive correct?
[Android General] kirito9:
As [MENTION=2145275]jezzaaaa[/MENTION] [MENTION=7721565]KawaiiNeko_[/MENTION] said, you're still on stock recovery which is why those zips are not flashing. What fastboot command did you use to flash the TWRP?
[Android General] kirito9:
Hopefully [MENTION=4825640]GartimusPrime[/MENTION] can pick up on this as well and then I can get started with the FIsH ramdisk to try and get root access.
[Android General] GartimusPrime:
I will read more about it to see if I can get it to work. Like I said I have like 6 of them so if I break one, oh well
[Android General] eyedawg:
Thanks for the help. Turns out twrp couldn't transfer normally, so after like 7 times of retrying I finally got it to work, and managed to flash the root image. :)
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
Welcome :3 just don't forget to make a backup of your rom before making changes​ to the system

i don't try yet because i have question. may tab (pixi 4-7 wifi 8063) original scater is first picture in attacment. your sended scater is second picture. thats different.is this a problem or not?
[Android General] MrKartupelis:
Hey dude, do you think is it possible to hard brick the phone and make it unrecoverable while trying to Port this rom to our Pixi 4(5) 3G? If it won't, I'll try to replace our devices stock 6.0 blobs with this 7.1.1 rom.

http://getbest.ru/page84.htm

Page and linked 4pda forum is in Russian though, but Google translate works very well.
[Android General] Keiko87:
Yes pw is for archive :silly:

At the moment me look inside my root directory and i found the emmc & partition config. The Protect 1 & 2 are my internal storage, which are just splitted. I am only able to use the protect 2 partition (4gb of standard 8gb) :eek:

they made all that configs in UTF-8 so its easy to read them.

So ya its possible to change the list of the partitions, their size and (boot) order, but ...me just learn by doing and this is to risky >.<

Maybe you could extract the (.IMG`s) and maybeee make some changes ?:confused:

Btw, i had once cm12 but the camera was not working, and i found no solution for it :(

[Android General] kevios12:
No i use kingroot on other device same os same twrp same kingroot can install any zips ... Have Alcatel a secure boot.img this option cant install any zip?
[Android General] kirito9:
Not that I know of.

[MENTION=6526894]DarkShadeX[/MENTION] are you able to flash zips? Do you get that system size bug in TWRP?
[Android General] DarkShadeX:
I didn't flash a zip yet (no idea what i should install)

And nupe, System's fine, check the pictures here:

http://imgur.com/a/1tdxw

Theres just 1 error (see pic 2) but not sure if that's normal or not.

If you have a zip i should try, lemme know.
[Android General] kirito9:
I have no idea either haha, but it should be fine if your system doesn't have that bug. There's no need to test anymore zips.

It's not normal, the recovery.fstab just has a partition that isn't used by your phone. I wasn't sure if it used it or not. I will remove it and update the recovery.
[Android General] kevios12:
I think its problem from recovery..the zips are not flash correctly to system i think im recovery.fstab its bug to wrote a system partition or bad permission to Wrote it? [MENTION=6526894]DarkShadeX[/MENTION] can you test a sound mod zip to flash it? Mine is not working im not sure why
[Android General] kirito9:
Alright, you could be right. I won't be available for some time tho so you will have to check that yourself. Unpack the twrp image using carliv image kitchen and go to /etc/recovery.fstab and check the mount points against your mount points and then repack using carliv image kitchen.
[Android General] DarkShadeX:
Give me a link to one

[Android General] DarkShadeX:
Alright, tried to flash Xtreme Sound.

No errors whatsoever while flashing but a bootloop (stuck at Pixi 4 screen)
[Android General] kirito9:
[MENTION=7601016]hacknmtk[/MENTION] We may have another case or system not mounting as RW. Hopefully you can fix your bugs and then publish ;)

Like I said above, it could be that your system cannot be mounted as RW to allow modification. Can you try using the file manager in TWRP to remove something? But don't go willy nilly removing anything, if you have a custpack partition, try removing one useless app and then reboot to see if it's gone.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

Did you backup before flashing? If yes restore and then try it again but after wipe dalvik cache. When you say stuck at Pixi 4 screen do you mean the bootanimation or the boot logo?
[Android General] DarkShadeX:
I did a backup of my system before flashing ^^

It's all good again.

And the boot logo. Waited for about 5 minutes but it won't proceed to the boot animation.
[Android General] kevios12:
[MENTION=6526894]DarkShadeX[/MENTION] this have too but when restore backup then cant flash anything no errors in twrp no bootloop and no file system change anything ...nothing work, [MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] have you for windows a programm for extract recovery img and edit the recovery fstab? I think its a problem from recovery... [MENTION=6526894]DarkShadeX[/MENTION] do you will with me make a recovery Modifikation? Also edit the reocvery to resolve the problems i think too the permissions are wrong.
[Android General] kirito9:
I had that on my phone a day or so ago :eek: not sure what was the problem but I flashed the SuperSU zip and then it didn't boot. Maybe try taking out the battery after flashing then power on.

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

I do have a bit of time so yeah, I'll unpack it and correct the mount points, but I will need some information from you. Use an app called partitions backup and take screenshots so I can get the correct information for the mount points.
[Android General] kevios12:
Okey i try it . i see this link i think is possible but havent fast ethernet connection , i download and send a screenshot .. Lock at google for cm12 or 13 port go to google give cm13 port to mtk first xda link i think ots possible but have slow conn.
[Android General] kirito9:
Ok, yes with your MT6580 chipset, it will be possible to port cm12 or 13 but we have to fix the recovery first.
[Android General] DarkShadeX:
Are there any zips i could trym Like something that changes some of the sounds (and not a whole engine) or boot animation, just to check if that works?
[Android General] hacknmtk:
I'm working on it :). Gonna have to do a little more work, but will publish when I get things fixed.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yeah but you would have to create it. Try flashing pph's superuser, then install the app from the store. If you get that doesn't work then we would know it's something wrong with the recovery. Can you also send a screenshot of your partitions? Using partition backup and restore in the play store.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Or just run this command in adb ls -al /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name > partitions.txt and send the output to me.

Hello, not to disrupt you or anything but I have a alcatel pixi 4 5045a and I really want to root it, because I have an 16gb sdcard and I want to transfer apps straight from the playstore to the sd but I need root :( just want to know if you can some how find any sort of custom recovery for this device or make any thx for your time for reading this.
[Android General] kirito9:
It should be a problem, try to flash the recovery and if it fails then you'll have to flash via write memory.
[Android General] kirito9:
If you have a custom recovery backup along with SPFT. You won't have to worry about brick but no it shouldn't be possible to brick via flashing.
[Android General] kirito9:
I won't be able to extract your .img and make changes as easy as that. I could end up hard bricking your device by messing with those emmc partitions. I'd advise you to let them be unless you want to take the risk. For camera, try replacing libcam** files from your stock system to the CM12 ROM.
[Android General] kirito9:
Sure, do you have a linux distro ready for development?
[Android General] kirito9:
Noted. Will add to the list of ROMs.
[Android General] kirito9:
You can try mobile upgrade tool to get back the stock ROM for your device which should have greek.
[Android General] kirito9:
Try mobile upgrade tool :good:.
[Android General] jrk190:
I think I have a laptop running antergos but I can switch it over to another distro real quick like Ubuntu.
[Android General] kirito9:
Replace your firmware folder from /system/etc in stock ROM with that of CM13. You should do this before flashing the CM13 ROM. If that doesn't work, check your IMEI. If you get invalid IMEI, use chamelephon and restore your IMEI.
[Android General] kirito9:
Cool. Make the switch and then we can get started with FIsH.
[Android General] kirito9:
Go to the first page of this thread and go to the devices section. Look for Pixi 4 5045 and you should find your root method along with a recovery.
[Android General] jrk190:
Will let you know when it finishes installing. What exactly are we going to try to do?
[Android General] kirito9:
We're going to check to see if your device is compatible with FIsH. We have to check compatibility before we can move on to actually getting something out of it, which would be temp root and hopefully permanent root.
[Android General] jrk190:
It says my SDK version is higher than 22. It's on marshmallow.

This check ensures that the FISHFOOD is compatible with the

[Android General] kirito9:
Marshmallow unfortunately doesn't have support as yet. I thought you had a Pixi with 5.1 with the hidden bootloader. MM requires the boot.img to be modified in order to achieve root and this would break some things in FIsH. Appears you have to be rooted as well. Hmm, doesn't seem like this will do much good without root (kingroot first then replace with supersu) and android 5.1.
[Android General] jrk190:
Yeah, just tried kingroot and kingoroot to no avail

[Android General] jezzaaaa:
My VFD-300 is so slow with the CM13 ROM I installed, and also it says the SIM is locked, even though I unlocked it when it was running stock ROM. So I decided to go back to stock. None of the stock ROMs I have downloaded will boot (gets as far as the boot anim and that ring keeps spinning.) So I thought I'd try the 4034D ROM.

I'm trying to install this ROM, but I can't work out how to use the ROM with SPFT. The 7z file contains ROM_EMMC_PART_BOOT1, _BOOT2, _RPMB, and _USER files. When I load the scatter file, it has none of the partitions pointing at any files. I'm guessing that I need to click on four of the partitions and select one of the ROM_EMMC_PART_* for each one. But I don't know which.

For instance, "boot" might be ..._BOOT1, or is it _BOOT2? Maybe userdata is ..._USER? And what might _RPMB be for?
[Android General] kirito9:
I'm not sure, I do not have the 5010.
