[MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION] : Mobile Go was a dud. It installed Supersu,the extra apps and said I was rooted. But Supersu said it could not find the su binary so I installed various root check apps and all verified no root. Was worth a try. I did notice it kept rebooting and after each reboot Supersu would crash. Then the root tool would freeze the device up for a long period and then reboot again but this timeit sat like in a blacked out mode,then finally booted but still no root.

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

Good device but will probably ditch this turkey. First straight talk device and probably last as well. Won't tolerate a company locking me out of root. Will find one on virgin mobile. Many of their devices are rootable.

Yeah, straight talk devices are difficult to work with. Good luck with your other device.

bootloop

Hi

After trying the method above, my Pixi 4 (5) was stuck in a bootloop trying to mount /'data' in TWRP, after a couple 100's of loops. It finally stopped, then booted into TWRP... When I flashed SuperSU and tried to reboot into system I came to a shocking discovery that my phone no longer had an OS.

PLEASE help me with the stock ROM for Alcatel Pixi 4 (5) 5010X because now I am using the CM13v2 that was posted above. It works but have some bugs especially with the File Manager

Thank you
[Android General] Redneck Gamer:
I'm also having rooting issues. I'm very intetested in learning more about my devices. My old tribute was a fantastic phone once I rooted it. Learned a lot bricking it a few times doing things just to see and learn.

This Alcatel seems a better machine despite the pathetic camera. It's defied KingRoot and every other root too I tried. Can't get it into a recovery mode yet either. I am as the name implies a tech challenged 40 year old redneck addicted to videogames and thanks to everyone here I'm slowly learning.

Can someone help?
[Android General] mofeck:
I'm also having root issues on the CM13, i tried turning on the root access on the options but no luck , i tried switchin it to "only apps" no luck either. I just installed the SuperSU by chainfire using the -echo "SYSTEMLESS.... command prompt and then flashing the zip , didnt work. I would really love to have root access. I'll apreciatte some help.

How can Alcatel Pixi 4 (6) 4g (9001D) be rooted?
[Android General] maxipaxi13:
Hi

I flashed the pixi 4 4 4034x with the cm13 for my brother. It works. But there are these on screen navigation buttons. I dont need them, because there are navigation buttons underneath the screen. So how can I disable these buttons? I dident found e possibility in the settings.

And these rom you mentioned above, is it thr stock rom with root included? Works better then cm13?

Thanks
[Android General] CowzRule:

Though I don't think so because the bootloader is hidden or locked i.e. using "adb reboot-bootloader" just reboots the phone normally.

Hi

Hello, can you set the firmware for Alcatel Pixi 4 (5) 4g 5045x
[Android General] maw-xda:
You need to edit build.prop via adb to remove buttons. I did it, but busy with work for next few days, so can't advise at the moment.

Just give the ROM I mentioned a whirl. It's pretty much stock without the bloat. Not sure of it has root, or if phone needs rooting first. Can't remember right now, sorry.

Cheers.
[Android General] maxipaxi13:
Do I understand right? For cm13 Rom I would have to flash build.prop with adb. If you could show me which build.prop that is and what I have to write for flash, that would be great. I can wait, no problem. Is it the build.prob from stock rom? I will google how to flash it.

And the modified rom you mention I could just flash Recovery. If it got no root or gapps I can flash open gapps and supersu with Recovery. Is that right?

Thanks very mutch!
[Android General] maw-xda:
I followed this to edit build.prop

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/edit-build-prop-without-root-using-adb-in-twrp-recovery/

I'm just looking for the line you need to edit.
[Android General] maxipaxi13:
Oh thanks. I think there must be already a line and I have just to set the value on =0. I will try that. I read I can do it with es datei explorer with root. So I just try it.

Thanks!!!
[Android General] maw-xda:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qemu.hw.mainkeys=0&t=h_&ia=qa

I remember struggling to use es file explorer etc., because CM13 on mine didn't have root. That's why I did it using twrp and adb.

Hi, this bootlooped my device

I'm rocking the 5010x pixi 4 5" 3G and have rooted many a device over the years. I followed this guide exactly as written, as it looks mega straight forward tbh, but after flashing recovery, TWRP just looped with "unable to mount -> auto reboot -> unable to mount -> auto reboot." I'm not blaming XD that's not the android scene aha, but just a heads up that this isn't as fullproof as the guide certainly suggest. Nice one :good: ~Rob.

P.s. easy fix though with the stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

Take your battery out, replace it {unplugged from usb} and hold power and vol+ / release power, then vol + and you should be able to use adb commands from twrp. use this to reboot to fastboot and flash the stock recovery. should fix the loop.

Invalid IMEI issues

hello!. i have a Pixi 4(5) 5045j

after i did the precedure to root my phone, my phone entered a bootloop that i coudn't recover.

followed the instructions and flashed backup the provided here with SP Flash Tool https://xdaforums.com/android/general/alcatel-one-touch-pixi-4-t3376597/post70472809

and everything works, except the SIM cards because the IMEI is invalid.

after rooting, tried to fix it from android with chamelephon and Engineer Mode/MobileUncle, but it didn't work.

also tried to restore the IMEI with MTK Droid tool, but after it don't recognize the baseband, i'm trying with SN Write Tool now, but i don't have the correct APDB_MT6735_S01_L1.MP3_W15 and BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP file for the devices. found some of these files for the MTK 6735 chipset online. but they don't work (error MAUI_DB_INCONSISTENT)..

so want to ask if anyone has these files for the 5045j and could share. or if there is another way to fix that issue?

thanks in advance. :)
[Android General] steve8x8:
Hi there,

I'm still working my way through this thread, so please pardon my ignorance if the info I'm looking for is actually there - I haven't found it yet.

I'd like to flash a Pixi 4 (6") 3G (8050D) with a more recent custom ROM (it comes with 5.1).

There seems to be a lot of confusion because of "Pixi 4 (6)" referring to at least two different (down to the SoC) models, perhaps three (a 4G version is now available too) or even more.

I understand that the 8050D is based on a MTK chip. The TWRP in #165 seems to match this device although there's no mention in the filename (it's got some "MT6580" strings inside though). There should have been a CM13 port to this device, but the Mega link is dangling.

What's the current state of custom firmware for this device, should I rather look for something else? [MENTION=4429374]kevios12[/MENTION], since you started the CM12.1 thread for the 4(6): what did I miss? Thanks...
[Android General] kirito9:
If you have the ROM_0 backup and the preloader file then I can help. If you do not have the preloader file then you can get it from another user possibly on XDA who has the same device including model # as you do.
[Android General] kirito9:
You should be able to backup the ROM using miracle box. I would suggest all partitions. No recovery that I know of, if your device is android 6 then rooting via recovery may be the only thing possible.
[Android General] kirito9:
Try flashing the CTR recovery, it seems as tho this device models are different and there needs to be another TWRP recovery specifically for that device model. TWRP posted here worked for some and didn't for others.
[Android General] kirito9:
Not certain but this seems to be the Qualcomm version of the Pixi 4. If it isn't then you can give some clarifications by posting your build.prop file located in /system partition of the device.
[Android General] kirito9:
Use the mobile upgrade tool posted on the 2nd post of this thread. Always use it when recovering instead of SPFT. Only use SPFT when your mobile upgrade tool doesn't work.
[Android General] kirito9:
I think android 5 is the latest for this device. Custom ROMs with android 6 may be possible but I do not have this device to test and I'm not really sure how to port it either.
[Android General] kirito9:
If you can flash the rest of the files, the device should be able to at least show the logo. It this happening or not being able to flash the preloader is still a problem?
[Android General] fabimelo:
it was the first thing i've tried, but it just says my phone is already updated with the latest software and closes itself. even with the system partition wiped i get the same message.
[Android General] kirito9:
Ahh I see, you tried all the methods I would've recommended so not sure how else you can restore IMEI. You'll have to get another backup of the device you have from another user and flash that to get back the IMEI.
[Android General] steve8x8:
Oh well. With the Moto E of 2015 getting Nougat (CM14) now my expectations were a bit too high, I'm afraid. Seems to be a common denominator for MTK devices to be stuck with Lollipop (end therefore no more security updates) within 6 months of their release.

Looking for something else, perhaps Qualcomm-based. Thanks for the clarification.
[Android General] kirito9:
You can almost never expect updates from MTK once their devices are released with a particular android version. It sucks but we still buy their devices. Custom ROMs are the only way to update because the OEMs abandon us.
[Android General] steve8x8:
Well, what would one expect. MTK is cheap, in a multiple sense. If there are no kernel sources there will be no next Android version, etc. The need for software like SPFT to upgrade, and the OEM policy to abandon support quickly (try to find docs or stock fw for the pixi4-6-3g on their site!) is demotivating. Has there ever been an OTA upgrade for any Alcatel Pixi?

(If the Amazon tablet hadn't been so dirt cheap I would not have cared about it - it's also stuck with Lollipop b/c of kernel support but at least it still gets updates, stock and custom.)

Something I'd put on my wishlist for this forum thread:

Use model numbers, not nicknames in the first place. There are at least 3 (completely different) models matching the name "Pixi4(6)" (the old 3G Qualcomm one, the 8050 3G MTK one, and the 9001 4G version), and not everyone can/will check the platform name in build.prop.
[Android General] kirito9:
I agree and even when they do release the kernel sources, most of the time there are build errors because they didn't check the source before releasing, Alcatel in this case. I'm guessing they're waiting until they release the source for the other devices if they ever do.

I know of one update for the Pixi 4 (5010) model but that's the only one.

I did that before but not everyone knew what the model numbers meant, some companies sell their device as "Pixi4(6)" and not with the model number. I usually try to use both but I'll edit the thread and see to your wishlist. :good:

Bricked 5045X

Hi,

I followed this guide to try and root the Pixi 4 (5) 5045X, but after rebooting from the custom recovery the device was stuck at the Alcatel logo. When I went back into the custom recovery, it would not let me mount or install anything.

I read a few posts and found the ROM to try and unbrick this device, but I get this error message in SPFT:

Also this error message:

Even when I format or choose the firmware upgrade option, the same messages occur.

Would appreciate some help in trying to unbrick the device. :(

[Android General] kirito9:

[Android General] danj88:
I managed to (mostly) unbrick the 5045X . Everything seems to work except trying to connect to PC as a USB Storage (media device). (working)

This is how I did it:

1) Download SP Flash Tool: http://spflashtool.com/

2) Download and extract the stock ROM: MT6735M_6.0_5045D

3) Open SP Flash Tool. In Download Only mode , select the scatter-loading file from the above ROM

4) Untick preloader - but ensure all the others are ticked

5) Click the green Download arrow

6) With your phone's battery removed, connect it to the PC via USB

7) After the download is successful, disconnect the phone from the USB and insert the battery

8) Connect the phone to the PC via USB and try to power it on.

9) You will see a large white battery charging icon appear.

10) Turn the phone off, and boot into recovery (hold volume up + power)

11) Wipe data/factory reset

12) Reboot system.

After 5-10 minutes, Android should load and your phone will be working again.
