Hello does anyone know how to root the Pixi4-7_4G_TMO despite it being in the "Pixi4-7" name group it appears to be the only(?) one that is qualcomm based and not mediatek. The only other post on it I have found is https://xdaforums.com/android/help/alcatel-onetouch-pop-7-lte-9015w-root-t3395053 which does not work. I have tried king, kingo, android root. I also can't seem to get into download mode or bootloader mode only recovery. Its on 6.0.1, patch level November 6, 2017, MSM8909, kernel 3.10.49, build number BCI-UM0.

Instead of flashing the entire ROM with SPFT, flash twrp for your device model and try to boot to twrp.
[Android General] kirito9:
These devices are generally unrootable (permanent root) and aren't compatible with a custom recovery. Your best bet to achieve root would be keep trying the temp root method linked in the post above.

Good afternoon.I bought at auction for Alcatel One Touch Pixi 4 (6) 5098S.Could you tell me the parameters of the model-how much RAM and built-in.Also-what is the touchscreen for him to buy(broken).my mail for answer -vik97@i.ua.
[Android General] xtremegamer87:
Hi, thanks for the answer. Today I'll try, I've been out of my town for committments on these days...But I have a doubt, if I try to flash only twrp with corrupted preloader ( as I think it is if you' ve seen the picture I linked) how it could work? Btw I'll let you know.

Unbelievable. You really need to come here to ask here for specs? Try Google man!
[Android General] vik97:
For your information-and enjoyed Google and other search engines. Since information is not found, then ask. Can you answer that ? Or is it too difficult for you?
[Android General] kirito9:
How do you know the preloader is corrupted? If you have the 8050D and you flashed the firmware then it should be the same, so just try flashing to see if it would work.
[Android General] kirito9:
Alright let's keep it civil here. I wasn't able to find much either except this post on ebay. Also the screen can also be found here.
[Android General] vik97:
Thanks for the reply.I'm a little confused-the seller of the item description indicated that the phone for 2 SIM and memory has 8.with the memory of the phone with LTE I can find.
[Android General] kirito9:
Can you indicate exactly where you're talking about? I'm not seeing anything that refers to "2 SIM and memory has 8".

https://megazakaz.com/ebay/product/142706396837 My question is about the detailed characteristics of the Salesperson said,"Is the model number 5098S and comes with 8 GB of internal memory and can take SD card"..I'm pretty sure the salesman isn't honest.

Installed cyanogenmod according to your instructions (on pixi 4(5)).

Install runs smooth did not encounter any errors.

Wifi does not work.

SD card is not recognized in OS (works in custom recovery though)

Camera does not work.

Search does not come up with any results (e.g. search for an app that is there like settings will come up with empty results).

Bottom buttons work on the device so that they are also on the screen is a bit irritating.

I haven't tried a SIM card in the phone., as above errors are anyway too much for me to cope with.

I do like the custom recovery though as I can use it to enable root on the device which make some of my f-droid apps usable.. back to stock OS though :(

[Android General] cssobral2013:
Two questions:

1) Does the Pixi 4 (5) 5010 ROMs work on 5010E (the Brazilian model)?

2) Have you any plans to make a Lineage OS 14.1 or 15 for the Pixi 4 (5) 5010?

This's because this XDA thread is the ONLY place in the whole Internet that I'm able to find custom ROMs for our Pixi 4 (5) 5010. Just search on Google "custom ROM Alcatel pixi 4" that this page appears in the 1st Place.

[Android General] francewcoboc:
Hi, same user here, I did a mess with the logins. :)

Well, I didn't even start yet, because I saw many posts of people getting stuck during the process. Especially, I heave read that after unlocking the bootloader, the phone goes in softbrick and to ubnbrick it you have to re-flash the stock rom. I have also read about one person (in this post) who did it and lost the dual-sim support... So I am a bit afraid to start since I am no expert in rooting I don't want to mess up everything!

I was wondering if anyone made some progress in making the process less "painful" compared to now. Thank you very much!

Alcatel 5045x someone flashed it with CM13 but for 5050D?! and now i can not revert it to stock firmware. Tried sugar it says illegal rewrite and gets stuck on authantication, tried mobile upgrade s it gives error to, tried SPFT but it asks for format to be able to flash and i am not sure if it can brick the phone. Any solution?
[Android General] Charles IV:
Have you tried the official Alcatel tool? Can't recall the name, but I think it's in the op
[Android General] mkgunner07:
Yeah tried it and it gave some error reading the phone info. Also tried sugar tools and ot got stuck at authentication every time. But i solved it with the help of Brka at gsmhosting.

The solution was untick preloader then format and download. After it got stuck on logo so i just did Factory Reset and after 10 minutes and one force restart the phone came alive.

The most important thing is to not format the preloader otherwise you can brick the phone
[Android General] CVAngelo:
Hello Andley. I could sure use your help. I'm trying to create a flashable zip file to update the stock system on my phone because the USB port is broken. I wrote an updater script which I am first testing on an old tablet because I don't want to brick my phone! But it keeps ending with a syntax error on the tablet. Can you take a quick look and tell me where the syntax error is? The recovery log says it's on the very last line: Syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ',' or ')' . How can that be?

Here is the script (from Notepad++) and those aren't smiley faces...they are ')'. Not sure why they show up as smiley faces below?

﻿assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "A13-sun5i");

ui_print("Starting flash");

show_progress(0.100000, 0);

#unmount("/cache");

show_progress(0.100000, 40);

ui_print("Flashing stock system");

ui_print("Flashable zip by Angelo");

assert(package_extract_file("system.img", "/tmp/system.img");

show_progress(0.100000, 70);

write_raw_image("/tmp/system.img", "/dev/block/nandd");

show_progress(0.100000, 90);

delete("/tmp/system.img");

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

SoftBricked after flashing Stock Rom

I have Malware possibly a Trojan on all my Linux devices (Android phones + Linux). It's too deep for any cleaning App/software to detect, and is operating on a low-level so that a Hard Rest (Data Wipe) is futile. It has found its way onto my newly created email accounts (created in order to escape from the Malware). The only way of removing it is on Android is through Flashing a Stock Rom from a computer (Ubuntu). I tried SP Flash Tools with no luck because no device detected, and so I tried asking for help in the "newbie" section and although they were very friendly, they weren't helpful because they just referred me on to tutorials that were only vaguely related. One tutorial said that on Ubuntu you had to enable Fastboot but it backfired and now my phone is SoftBricked (Restarting again and again, each time saying "Erasing..."). I can't even go into Forums because everytime I create a new email address for a forum, the Bug finds its way onto that one too, seemingly, so I can't be sure the bug isn't creaking fake accounts on those forums in order to reply with evasive answers that block my investigation. What on earth can I do? Avast is not good. I'm talking about the recovery partition with 48 modified files even after doing a Hard Reset, and Wipe Cache. I think those modified files may have something to do with why my phone is acting wierd. Root Integrity Check should NOT say 48 modified files, or am I wrong? I thought Hard Reset should restore original state of all files? Anyway I have tried so hard to Flash the Stock Rom and I don't understand why ADB is needed (Fastboot Unlocking caused my phone to get SoftBricked, as stated above). What must I do to resolve this problem? I think I might have been misled anyway because you shouldn't need ADB in order just to Flash a Stock Rom, right? Btw I'm using Alcatel One Touch Pixi 4 (4034x)
[Android General] hs4842:
The Malware you are looking at usually occurs in two situations:

1. You are finding it during browsing and using internet connections. This is deep into your browser and may be installed across browsers due to shared directories. This is common in add-ons you use or installed by an app or program that you use to get around issues for anonymous purposes. Typically you blindly allowed an app root privileges and now you are being overrun with various installs and piggy backs onto other apps, or possibly at the server or root levels.

2. Your account has been compromised and you restored your device from the hacked account. In this case you should:

- restore your device from OEM Firmware.

- Get your phone/linux machine up and running with your normal logins. If you are using Google to keep track of your stuff, do not allow it to install apps and restore data for you. Even if you need it to. Get your device working first and foremost - worry about data later.

- install known anti-virus/malware softwares BEFORE YOU RESTORE ANYTHING

- then begin to restore one thing at a time. Only in this fashion can you see what app or data is causing all of this problem and work around it.

If all else fails, restore the OEM firmware and get a new account and start over. Sad but true. Some hacks are just not worth trying to get around. If you have a long lived login on services and machines, you still have to do the one-step-at-a-time method of getting things fixed.
[Android General] andy_mcnothing:
Thank you for this. Unfortunately - as already stated - I have already tried restoring my device from OEM firmware (I believe that's the same as trying to Flash a Stock Rom, right?). The issue has been in getting my phone to connect with the computer, in order to restore its firmware to Stock (OEM) state.

Both my Chromebook (running Ubuntu under Crouton) and my Pixi 4034x have been logged into the email account (Google) that seemingly has the Malware. The only way now to fully log out is to start from scratch, which is, like you say, only achieved by Flashing the OEM/Stock Firmware.

Once that has been done, I can then address the source of the Bug through process of elimination + the aid of Anti-Malware softwares like you say.

But I'm having trouble even getting my computer to recognise the Pixi 4034x even though Ubuntu by default already has drivers installed.

Given my phone is now SoftBricked too, after my attempts to restore it to OEM/Stock Firmware, I must surely continue to try and get it recognised by my computer + Rom-Flashing software. The problem is, connecting to the computer was hard enough before the phone got SoftBricked let alone after. Though I guess you might say that this shouldn't make much difference given that SoftBricks are the most common reason for people to Flash the OEM/Stock Firmware anyway?
[Android General] Charles IV:
Yeah, the 4034x softbricks when unlocking the bootloader. There's something about it in the op, with a link to the solution.

If you've unlocked the bootloader and are fine with doing twrp, you can flash twrp. You can use this to either restore a backup someone else made, or flash a rom. Both should wipe system and overwrite the Trojan.

As to spft, I found it didn't work on my laptop, but did work on my dad's. Even if it took 2 days and flashed the 4034g firmware rather than 4034x.

Just realised - I had trouble with spft, I think I did manage to use it once, but I can't remember how. What I was talking about is Alcatel's tool (can't remember what it's called). If you've got a Windows machine (or VM), try this.

Edit: also, as to factory resetting not fixing it, it's because factory resetting is a lie, it just deletes data, so modifications to the system remain.

Try rebooting into recovery and manually deleting the app in /system/app or /system/priv-app, using the file manager in twrp or ADB.
[Android General] Charles IV:
did you check they were definitely deleted before rebooting?

Still weird, I think other people had a similar issue.

I guess your best bet is to just disable the apps in settings, that will at least just stop them and maybe reduce some storage usage. I doubt deleting them after that will work, but maybe.
