Edit your proinfo file with notepad++ and change the 4034 model number you see there to the actual model of your device. Edit your scatter file and remove false value to the flashing of proinfo. Flash your modified proinfo with SPFT and try OTU.
[Android General] kirito9:
I actually do not know how to flash those images lol, the guys at 4pda are a little more experienced than me when it comes to flashing with SPFT so they know how to flash those images. I have an alternative tho. Happy flashing.

it works i tried using google maps it works what i did

But u cant flash supersu i wont work if you flash Supesu-Moded.zip u will get a bootloop!

i fixed it by flashing the normal zip of su and deleted the /supersu folder

1 downloaded the cm13v2

2 extracted firmware folder from YOURFILELOCATION\cm13.zip\system\etc

3 extracted the folder to it

4 rebooted to TWRP

5 wiped data

6 advanced > file manager copied the folder and put it in my /etc on my phone

7 install > flashed cm13.zip then open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20161108.zip

8 and restarted :D

9 everything works just the buttons are broken u have to hold the middle button to open task manager

how i can grab the proinfo file from phone??dou you have any guide??
[Android General] kirito9:
Here.
[Android General] tolispao13:
with full backup from twrp??i had a backup from twrp and i found a file with name proinfo.emmc.win.this is the pro info ??
[Android General] kirito9:
Indeed it is. If the TWRP had support for backing up that partition then there's no need to follow the other guide. Rename the proinfo.emmc.win to proinfo. Try to edit with notepadd++ to change the value of the model #.
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
I have the generic file can you make it a flashable zip pls ?
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
Terminal is glitched too
[Android General] Siggipugger:
Yeah I extracted it and compressed it to a .zip but it's still saying "Invalid zip file format!"
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
Thanks. I tried that ROM (unticking preloader), but SPFT says:

PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded. Please select "Format All + Download" scene and try again.​

I'm guessing PMT is "partition m? table"? And "format" means to recreats the new partitons?

I'm not sure I should do this, given the warning you give at the start of this thread about formatting.
[Android General] Siggipugger:
Anyone got link2sd working on 4034?

I can't
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
And i cant install supersu for some reason

cm13 for 5010D

But you build the cm13, didn't you? And who build the cm13v2?
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
Being the fact that its a backup, you are going to want to restore it as you would any other backup..if you try to install it it's going to throw errors cuz its a backup

Security Lockout

Hi, I couldn’t make GPS work. Did you try google maps with location on device only? Anyway, I have a bigger problem now. As my GPS doesn’t work with cm13 I wanted to go back to STOCK rom. Then I used Alcatel Upgrade Tool to flash the Stock rom, and at the same time I change the google password on my laptop. Now, I cannot get in to android with my google account or with no other account. What I can do? Many thanks.

Waiting for 3 days now I can log in with stock rom, and gps is fully working. On those days I was searching some roms for 5010D device, and found a russian forum 4pda.ru. There are some roms there for our device, I tried Remix Resurrection and worked ok, but I would like if someone else can share his experience with roms on 5010D. I will let you know mine:

* Stock rom: Drain my battery and has some ads apps inside ("featured app")

* CM13: I liked but couldn't make gps work

* AOSP: I didn't get the ram it suppouse to have with swap on

* RR: Worked ok, but I think used more ram than cm13
[Android General] kirito9:
Sorry for the delay.
[Android General] kirito9:
What about a 3rd party terminal app?
[Android General] kirito9:
A proper zip needs a META-INF folder so that the custom recovery can detect it for flashing. You can't flash a SPFT backup like you can with a regular flashable zip.
[Android General] kirito9:
Trying different scatter files work or you can try the write memory flashing. Check the bottom of this post and flash each partition one by one. Before to change the addresses for each partition as they differ.
[Android General] kirito9:
Any error logs?
[Android General] kirito9:
I didn't build any lol, I share the links to developers who ported them.
[Android General] kirito9:
What binary file?
[Android General] kirito9:
For now probably wait for any updates on the FIsH hack to support android 6.0 or I make some TWRP builds and we try to load them without the bootloader. It's been done before on the Alcatel Fierce XL with the hidden bootloader. Turns out, they didn't have to unlock anything to get TWRP.
[Android General] kirito9:
Try flashing again. Sometimes the device requires flashing several times.

Help

Hello guys,i am a alcatel pixi 4 (7) user.Pleasse,can someone to tell me anything for this device.How to get root,bootloader locked or unlocked?Thank in advance:)
[Android General] kirito9:
Are you sure you're flashing the twrp recovery? Try the write memory way of flashing. Go to the last page of this post and follow the instructions for the write memory flashing.
[Android General] kirito9:
You can start by uploading your device build.prop which is usually located in /system/.
[Android General] uninstalll:
absolutly yes. i try the clean install windows yet. after i use the aladdin and i receive a error in attachment.
[Android General] kirito9:
Did you also try with SP Flash Tools?
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
i cant get cm13 to root whit supersu... ;-;
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
If its cm then there is a built-in root function in developer options usually, if you can't get su then​ jus do that for now
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
yea but its not a full root most of the programs use su bynary
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
What method did you use to try installing SU? might be able to help you out with it
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
flashing the zip file of supersu from the official site
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
Try using the one from here https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703 as its more updated than the one from chainfire's site, of course download the flashable zip version
[Android General] kirito9:
It should be already rooted, check in developer options.
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
its not a full root

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

tried using 79 version the same thing
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
It is a full root but it uses different binaries compared to chainfires su binaries, they are a little "outdated" as some things will say, but they are fully functional (the built in cm binaries)
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
i tried running some apps for root and some did not see me as root

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

and i had enabled apps only in dev settings
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
try enabling apps+adb sometimes that fixes the problems that it gives, if not try using flashfire to flash the su zip
[Android General] Miro2210:
Ok,but how without root?:confused:
[Android General] KawaiiNeko_:
Using any file explorer like ES File Explorer, going to the root of the device, then to system, and copying the build.prop to your internal memory or sdcard, and then upload that file here (upload to google drive or something and then post the link to download it)
[Android General] Zer0Bytes_:
i restored to the stock rom so i will try it when i can again :good:
[Android General] Miro2210:

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

My build.prop

https://yadi.sk/d/UJ4HxMyJ3Gm7Pn

need info how to root,possible?

Link added
[Android General] kirito9:
According to the build.prop, it uses MT6580/MT8321 SoC. What you can do before unlocking your bootloader is creating a backup with either GSM Aladdin or Miracle Box. Then you can install the adb drivers (installing system usually makes it easier later), enable usb debugging on your tab,oem unlocking, connect it to the PC and type

adb reboot bootloader

. Unlocking the bootloader is basically like a factory reset to backup whatever contacts/messages you have.

You should then be shown a new screen that says something like fastboot. Type

fastboot oem unlock

and check your device for a prompt. After unlocking the bootloader then you can reboot to system

fastboot reboot

.

If your device bootloops after unlocking, you can restore via the MUS tool. If that doesn't work then you can flash the boot.img and system.img that you previously backed up with SPFT.

Root should be then possible by flashing a custom recovery which I will build for you once you provide the boot.img and recovery.img from your backup.
[Android General] ojao:
Can you port AOSP for Pixi 4(4) ?:confused:
[Android General] uninstalll:
yes of course?
[Android General] momotothek:
I have exactly the same model and android version, but the root is not working for me. Did you do any steps before the root with kingroot? Thanks!
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
In the end I tried formatting, because nothing else seemed to be working. It didn't end well. With formatting enabled, SPFT won't let me untick preloader, so I thought I must have flashed a bad preloader. The phone wouldn't show anything at all when powered on - I couldn't even tell if it was powered on.

After a few days of sulking, I decided to see what happens if I tried to re-flash a stock ROM backup. And would you believe, it worked! After reboot, I saw the same forever turning circle from the boot anim, so I thought I was no better off. But then I remembered on one previous occasion that it just sprung to life after rebooting one more time. So I rebooted one more time, and a few minutes later it was preparing packages and before too long I was going through the setup on the stock ROM. So far, so good!

I should point out that the CM13 ROM I used was quite slow, and also when I changed the SIM, it asked me for an unlock code, which I had previously used in the stock ROM, but this time it didn't work. After re-flashing with the stock ROM, it also asked for an unlock code, and the original one worked just fine. I had assumed unlocking would set a flag in the hardware, and I would never have to unlock it again; obviously a wrong assumption.

I'm not yet game to try flashing TWRP again, and so there's no root, but for the time being, I need a working phone. It was a fun adventure along the way.
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Just bought myself an Alcatel OT Pixi 4 (model 5056D) running Android 6.0. Is the 5056D supported on this thread [MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] ? I have not yet attempted to backup with SPFT. And of course not attempted to modify firmware in any way. Just wanted to drop in and bookmark the thread.
[Android General] kirito9:
Actually, just checked the model #. You have the Pop 4+ and not the Pixi 4. The Pop 4+ has a Qualcomm chip so SPFT won't work for this phone.

How I repair a boot loop issue after a bad recovery.img upload in boot-loader mode

How I repair a boot loop issue on the pixi 4 5010D after a bad recovery.img upload in boot-loader mode

This post only to let you now that some bootloop issue could be repaired !

The pixi 4 (3G - 5") 5010D starts rebooting just after showing Alcatel logo. It was impossible to start the boot-loader mode. No time for that because of boot loop.

First : a stock Rom is needed : http://www.mediafire.com/file/xzt329o5w6ppd1w/alcatel+5010u++%26+5010d+firmware.rar

a stock recovery image of the 5010D : https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3833601&d=1470368856

Then you need to install SP Flash Tool : https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool

Extract the rar achive of the ROM

The scatter-loading file is in the directory of the ROM

Choose what you want to download. For me, I only download again the recovery because I just want to repair the bootloop.

To do that, the phone must be switch off.

Launch the SP flashing Tool and choose the "scatter-laoding file" in the room directory.

check what you want to download.

replace the "recovery.img" file in the ROM directory by the "recovery.img" stock file.

1/ click on the download button

2/ connect the phone with the USB cable and wait.

a TUTO about SP flash tool here after --> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587

Then you can start you phone in the recovery mode (vol up + power on/off button) to check that all work now.

Hello. I have messed my Pixi 4(4) (4034D) a bit. I have tried to reflash it with SPFT. It completes, but it does not boot. It is stuck at 'PIXI4' logo.

So my guess was to use TWRP. But the problem is that the bootloader is locked, and I cannot boot to unlock it to install TWRP.

Is there anywhere I can go from here?

Thanks
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
You should be able to use SPFT to flash just TWRP by unselecting everything except "recovery" and setting the file to the TWRP recovery image. I'm not sure that helps you much, because it doesn't use the recovery to boot normally, and there's not a lot you can do from TWRP to fix a boot problem. Perhaps from TWRP you can do a factory reset and that might fix it?
[Android General] fesarlis:
Thank you for your suggestion.

I was able to install TWRP and install the ROM. Still no luck though.

I don't get it. All procedures complete without errors. Both SPFT and TWRP ROMs behave the same. Clearly there must be something messed up in boot but after extensive reading I am confident I did everything properly.

I even tried to format the whole flash (both with TWRP and SPFT). I understand the consequences, and I am able to restore IMEIs later (I've done it again).

I also noticed something strange. Even though flash completes, under file manager in TWRP I see that /system and /boot are empty. Perhaps this will help someone to determine the problem.

TWRP for Alcatel Pixi 4 (4)

If I follow the Link seen in ...

..... to Post #97, I read:

...

Requirements

ADB/Fastboot drivers (Install system wide)

Backed up contacts, apps or any other personal information. I recommend Super Backup

Windows PC, not tested on Linux but should work too.

All files in the attachment below respective to your device. They are not flashable zips, extract them to get your files.

TWRP Pixi 4 (6)- Here

...

Can I use this TWRP Pixi 4 (6) for my Pixi 4 (4) ??

Or is there another version for the Pixi 4 (4) ?
[Android General] kirito9:
The version for your device is linked in the attachment below.
[Android General] 13ste:
I'm so sorry...

.... but I found two different possibilities - both of them in post#97 (and I would hate to brick my Pixi 4 (4) by using the wrong one)

The first one is mentioned there almost in the beginning ...

...which makes me a little nervous, because here I read "TWRP Pixi 4 (6)" - and my device is a TWRP Pixi 4 (4).

If I followed this link ( to https://mega.nz/#!oQNyULiI!QvwDUFIyUudmyvyLIUzfAOEKYz_mjHh7MAO3BtxZ8B4) I would get a file called "TWRP_3.0.0.2_Kirito9@Mod.By_Kevios12_v2.img".

... the other possibility I found at the bottom of the very same post #97 in the section "Attached Files" - it is named "twrp-3.1.0-0-4034.tar - [Click for QR Code] (10.98 MB, 400 views)".

Here I would get a file called "twrp-3.1.0-0-4034.tar".

Is one of those possibilities the right one for my Pixi 4 (4) ? If so, which of them?

Thanks a lot, 13ste
[Android General] kirito9:
I couldn't attach the Pixi 4 (6) version so I uploaded to Mega sorry kevios did. You will not use the one for the Pixi 4 (6). Use the twrp-3.1.0-0-4034.tar. Download this file, extract it and continue with the instructions.

You can make a backup by following one of the guides below:

[Tutorial] How to backup / dump a Mediatek Android phone's firmware using Miracle Box

[Tutorial] How to backup / dump a Mediatek Android phone's firmware using GSM Aladdin Box.

After doing so,upload your boot.bin and recovery.bin files along with your scatter file and I will make a custom recovery for you. From there root and debloating should be possible.
