PIXI 4 6 8050D doenst work unlock bootloader say failed and Flash recovery say remote failed Download Partition recovery fail
[Android General] kirito9:
You probably have a problem with your Pixi 4 like [MENTION=6526894]DarkShadeX[/MENTION], he had to try multiple times to get bootloader unlocked. You have to enable OEM unlocking in developer options although after a reboot it disables itself. You have to keep trying with it and then try. It works because [MENTION=6526894]DarkShadeX[/MENTION] got it installed.
[Android General] kevios12:
So ive unlock bootloader , install TWRP but i cant install .zip example : xperia x Walkman become bootloop on pixi 4 6 8050D ???
[Android General] kirito9:
That is a problem with the zip, perhaps incompatibility? Did you try wiping dalvik cache?
[Android General] kevios12:
I think this is not a problem from zip other zips are doesnt work too..wipe dalvik chache make it bootloop :/ is this a rom issue ? I cant move some files to /system etc...apps with root working.
[Android General] kirito9:
When you unlocked the bootloader, did you flash TWRP right away?
[Android General] kirito9:
I'll zip it for you.
[Android General] kirito9:
EDIT: Root is available under the developer options in settings.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
I bought 8050D and managed to Root with kingroot application. How to change Boot Logo? Not to show Alcatel Logo, but that I want, Opel Logo Car say?
[Android General] kirito9:
You mean the bootanination?
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
Yes.
[Android General] kirito9:
Flash one the recoveries for the 8050. Make a backup of everything.

The bootamination should be located in /system/media. You can change this to anything you want. What you have to understand is the structure of the bootanimation then you can make your own. You normally give 0644 permission to system files, so do that for the replaced animation zip.

If you made a mistake and the phone isn't booting. Restore the system partition from the recovery.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
means first have to unlock the bootloader, then flash recovery and backup everything?
[Android General] kirito9:
Yup.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
I can't install recovery, http://imgur.com/a/bPpjB
[Android General] kirito9:
Since you already have root with kingroot, use Flashify to root.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
Flashify - Play Store?

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

I did a factory reset and then the same again?
[Android General] kirito9:
Yes, flashify from the play store.

[Android General] kirito9:
Alright, just reroot with kingroot then install Flashify then flash the custom recovery.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
Not Pixi 4 in Flashify App http://imgur.com/a/5WL2L

, and when I select a file comes out to me this http://imgur.com/a/utsdf
[Android General] kirito9:
Copy the recovery you are trying to flash to your sdcard.

Open flashify.

Go to the recovery option.

Select choose a file.

Use the file explorer that has the same icon as flashify.

Locate the recovery you are trying to flash.

Select it.

Click on "Yup!" when they ask to flash.

Reboot after the flash is complete.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
My recovery file is "img", Flashify reads " zip"

Sorry, work :D
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
Another question :)

I tried several app from the Play Store for the change Bootanimation. But none of it does not change? Some recommendations?

Do not install the first CM rom?
[Android General] kirito9:
Don't think there's a CM ROM for your device. Also, I said what to do about the bootanimation a couple posts back.
[Android General] jackogherer:
Unbelievably SLOW!!!

WOW... I normally love CyanogenMod ROM's but this is incredibly slow! so slow that I installed stock ROM within a couple of hours. Never have I experienced a ROM as bad as this one.. seriously !! I am so disappointed with how bad it actually is. Facebook app would barely work.. It wouldn't even load the app to my news feed untill I killed nearly every unnecessary process, it was taking around 25-30 seconds just to unlock the device.. Quite possibly the worst ROM I have ever installed! Being CM it was nice aesthetically and obvs the system is a good system but for some reason it just does not work on the PIXI 4 (4034D/X), sorry guys but you must be experiencing the same slowness as me? I can't stress enough how SLOW it actually is.. completely unusable!
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
Cm Not now, but I see that there are cm for 8050D. I tried the Es file in System Manager / Media-Bootloader when replacing the file, the night includes the Alcatel official Bootanimation.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yes, I've also had one user reporting this about the CM13 ROM for the Pixi 4 (5) 5010. I don't know why it's slow like that, I didn't build it only shared the link to it and I don't have this device to try and make it better or get more ROMS. Maybe another developer will take up the challenge and make a stable usable ROM.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yes my bad, there is a CM ROM available for the 8050. I don't understand the second part of the message. Can you clarify a bit.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
I could not change Bootanimation, so I thought that if it is easier to change the bootloader if I install CM rom?
[Android General] kirito9:
Well yes, easier to just change the ROM.
[Android General] UlisesCNF:
That's right, but it's not working. After I give the root permission, the app just say that there is not Root Privileges :/

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

The V2 it's working fine for me, just the problem with the Root even when I activated it in Developer Options,.

Maybe the first option is working well?
[Android General] kirito9:
Hmm, probably needs the superSU binary updated. Try flashing the standard superSU by chainfire.
[Android General] UlisesCNF:
Thank you, but I get Bootloop :/
[Android General] kirito9:
Restore the CM13 boot.img or take it from the ROM and flash it then flash this modded superSU.

[Android General] fattheman:
Hi everyone,

I would like to start thanking to the post creator for the amazing post

I would like to ask one thing, I just bought a 4034x model which I believe is the 3g model with the MT chipset, If I root the phone will I be able to install my apps on the sdcard? The only frustating thing I found on this phone is really the small amount of storage, apart from that the rest for the price it costs is a great small smartphone :)

Thanks in advance

Pixi 4 (4) 4034D don't boot system after recovery installed

Hi all,

I'm new to XDA world and I would like to replace the original ROM of my Pixi 4 (4) with a custom one.

Before that, I'm trying to backup the phone but I have strange behaviors.

I'm going through fastboot and unlock oem successfully. Then I'm flashing TWRP recovery (twrp-3.0.2-0-4034.zip) with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". On reboot, TWRP complains it can not mount data partition successfully and enter a boot loop.

If I try to reboot on the system without entering recovery, it fails and I don't understand why. From my understanding, when I've flashed TWRP I've only replaced the original recovery partition so it should not disturb the original system. And restoring the stock recovery doesn't correct the problem.

Installing CTR-6.6 gives similar results but no error message for data partition.

So here are my questions:

Is it expected to corrupt the system when installing a custom recovery?

Is it expected to have an error with data partition?

If I backup my current system (without data and a phone not properly starting) is it enough to restore my phone in case of problem during custom ROM installation?

Thanks for your help!
[Android General] kirito9:
These inital Alcatel signs are in the boot_logo of the /system/media folder. You can replace them or make your own.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yes it will.
[Android General] kirito9:
With root you will be able to move the apps to the sdcard. Link2SD is a great tool for that.
[Android General] kirito9:
Use the TWRP backup to restore.
[Android General] kirito9:
Welcome to XDA! Hope you enjoy your time here. From what I've experienced, the TWRP I posted works for some and doesn't for others. On my old mt6572 device, whenever I flash a broken recovery with SPFT(SmartPhoneFlashTool), my system no longer boots even tho I restore the stock recovery or previous custom recovery. I'm not sure why this happens for MTK devices but it does. What I do to fix it is flash the entire ROM I backed up with SPFT or use MUS(Mobile Upgrade Software) from alcatel.

The error with the data partition shouldn't be there but I believe it's because of the oem unlocking. I saw some users wipe their data partition after unlocking and before flashing the twrp. You can wipe the data partition with

fastboot erase userdata

and boot the twrp instead of flashing with

fastboot boot twrp.img

or

fastboot boot recovery.img

.

When making a backup of a ROM you have working, you should always use all the partitions and not just system and data.

Alcatel pixi 4 (7) wifi 8063

Hi;

i have a Alcatel pixi 4 (7) wifi 8063 tablet. I can't root this because bootloader locked. I need unlock bootloader and root. any help please.

thnx.
[Android General] kirito9:
It shouldn't be in landscape mode at all. This is after you installed ultimate rotation control?
[Android General] kirito9:
You can check to see if you have a locked bootloader by first enabling developer options.

Go to settings-->about phone-->tap on the build number 7 times.

Go back to settings-->developer options-->enable usb debugging.

Download 15 sec adb installer and install the adb drivers on your PC.

Connect your tablet to the PC and open a command window.

Type adb reboot bootloader and hit enter.

If the device reboots to a different screen, type fastboot oem unlock and hit enter. NOTE: This wipes all your data on the internal storage like pics etc.

If the device reboots to system, then you do not have a bootloader or it's hidden.

After unlocking your bootloader I can begin to build a custom recovery for you then you can root.
[Android General] kirito9:
Try replacing the firmware folder from your stock ROM providing that you still have it and copy it to your CM13 ROM.
[Android General] ziadmz99:
Hey kirito ☺

I have been doing searches for my Alcatel pixi 4 plus roms and i didn't found nothing except this( http://nougatmyandroid.com/android-nougat-7-0-update-alcatel-pixi-4-plus-power/ )is there any other roms for my phone ?
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
But I want a full landscape mode! But before showing the home screen portrait mode displays the seconds. Can be seen at the end of the recording which I have established.
[Android General] fattheman:
Hello Kirito9,

Thanks for your reply, however I think I bricked the phone, I use a Mac I don´t have any windows available, so what I did was first install adb and fastboot, which was ok, I will describe my steps and what is happening.

1 - Enabled oem unlocking and usb debug in developer mode

2 - Connect the phone using the usb cable and send adb reboot-bootloader to the phone

3 - After the phone rebooted on fastboot run fastboot oem unlock (I believe this was what caused me the issues)

4 - I didn´t understood very well what happened here, I said yes to the wipe data but nothing happened after that so I reboot the phone, after that the phone was always booting with the Android in the screen, it looked like it was looping.

5 - So I restarted the phone into bootloader using the stock recovery and flashed TWRP.

6 - After this TWRP is on lop saying the following /data cannot be mounted

7 - I managed to go into the recovery using the volume up and power and did format data, after that the phone seems to be stucked on the alcatel symbol.

I would like to try and install the stock recovery and the stock room that you have available on your post but I don´t now why.

I have formated the sdcard as ntfs but I can´t see anything from the recovery.

Do you have any ideias?

Thank you in advance.

regards
[Android General] kirito9:
Can you even scroll on this site? LOL. It's fake incase you were wondering. There's no ROMs available as yet either.
[Android General] ziadmz99:
Thanks for ur response ?
[Android General] kirito9:
Ohh, sorry I didn't understand before. The default android orientation is portrait. I'm not sure if it can go into landscape mode from boot without modification of the ultimate rotation control app.
[Android General] kirito9:
You can install the ROMs via sideload in TWRP. Stock recovery cannot install any ROMs. The reason the phone is stuck on the Alcatel logo is because you format the data. Installing the stock ROM should fix this.
[Android General] ziadmz99:
Can u tell me how to change my boot animation i tried different apps and tried to change the zip file in the system and overwrite it but it fails
[Android General] fattheman:
Hi kirito, sorry to bother you again, I am trying to do that but when I go to adb sideload just says starting adb sideload feature and nothing happens, If i do adb devices no devices are listed.

Do you have any ideas for what I am missing?

Thanks again, you have been really helpful.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
I tried again and begins with a portrait and then take the landscape. Can the system / build file to write data to my phone is always in landscape / tablet mode?
[Android General] ykrons:
Thanks a lot kirito9 for your feedback.

I have tried to only boot on recovery without flashing it and to wipe the data but in both cases, there is an error mounting data and I'm not able to boot any more on the original ROM. So at that time, I think I'm not able to do a proper backup.

I have already restored the phone several times using the update tool. So my question is: is it really needed to do a backup if I can always restore it using the UpdateTool? Or is there some unrecoverable data that can be lost during Custom ROM installation?

thanks
[Android General] kirito9:
Try the TWRP that I've attached. It's my latest build which works fine for me. It's true that you do not necessarily need to backup with TWRP if MUS restores the original ROM but TWRP is a lot faster :").
[Android General] kirito9:
Try the change from the TWRP file manager.
[Android General] kirito9:
Hmm, and you do have adb drivers installed. It could be that that TWRP doesn't have adb working. Mount the sdcard and if it shows, copy the ROM. I heard you mention something about sdcard not showing up? Didn't quite get that.
[Android General] kirito9:
Never heard of anything in the build.prop that changes to landscape mode but you can try.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
OK. Is it possible to change the Power button options? For example, when you keep the power button turns off the phone and not be restarted?
[Android General] ziadmz99:
I tried to install the zip from twrp and it been installed but nothing changed
[Android General] fattheman:
Yes, I have adb installed, however in TWRP is just doesn't do nothing. I have formated the sdcard as MS-DOS FAT32 and copied the ROM to there but when I am on TWRP and if I got to install I can see nothing on the SD card.

I have the .zip file there though, today I have installed the alcatel mobile upgrade tools to try but the software does not pick the phone, it just stays on the connect usb cable to the phone and nothing happens.

I believe I have really screwed the phone, dam it!! :(

I was trying to install the adb drivers of my work desktop(windows x64) but they don't install maybe is because of the group policy and the bitlocker encryption.

I am running out of ideas, but is annoying I bought the phone last week.

cheers,

Dear friend kirito9;

thanks for your interest. when i reboot bootloader tablet is reopening the system. I can't pass to "fastboot oem unlock" step.

i think as you say "i don't have a bootloader or hidden.

thank you again and i search the solutions.
[Android General] _Eagle_:
Hi guys, i got an alcatel 5045x stuck on boot; basically i tried, with no success, to root it but i accidentally mis-clicked on sp tool "format all + download"; anyway i found the correct file on this topic and managed to get back where i was, stuck on boot, the only way i managed it was only unchecking "preloader" on sp tool, otherwise i keep getting an error while downloading the bootloader (the purple progress bar), with the error (0xC50) that i ve seen already on the forum but it seems with no solution related. my guess is that i'm missing something to do, in particular this bootloader error doesn't sound right.

thanks
[Android General] kirito9:
You mean the power off button does something else or remove all other options?
[Android General] kirito9:
You had a flashable bootanimation.zip? I meant using AROMA file manager sorry for the confusion. Change the bootanimation from /system/media.
[Android General] kirito9:
Problem seems to be with the OS you're using. Use a windows system without any modifications (group..bitlocker..etc). Mobile upgrade tool should work and it doesn't need any specific drivers but would be good to have adb and the preloader drivers installed.
[Android General] kirito9:
Yeah, probably don't have a bootloader to be unlocked or hidden. Reboot to the system and pull the build.prop using

adb pull system/build.prop

then attach the build.prop.
[Android General] kirito9:
To flash that preloader you would need to format it before but I do not suggest you do that as the preloader is needed to communicate with the device and SPFT. This error is most likely because you clicked "format all + download".
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
When you keep the power button I get the opportunity Reboot or Shut down. If I hold button for about 10sec phone will restart, and I want to 10sec after phone off.
[Android General] _Eagle_:
Thank you for the reply kirito ?; I'm trying with only "download" on SPFT, unticking the preloader, and it actually flashes the device. Problem is that it won't start at all, i'm stuck with the alcatel screen and i don't understand why; like i said, it seems that i'm missing something
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
There are a couple of things I found that may help:

ro.sf.hwrotation

set to 0, 90, 180 or 270; 0=portrait, 90=landscape

FSL_LANDSCAPE_MODE

set to 0 or 1
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
I managed to rotate the entire system, and even the boot, using this guide.

http://www.novisign.com/android/screen-rotation-no-flashing/

But I now remain calibration in portrait mode, the phone works in lanscape be how to calibrate the touch now and in lanscape mode?
[Android General] kirito9:
After the flashing, boot to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset using the stock recovery.
[Android General] kirito9:
That's a feature of the stock ROM. You'll have to get a new ROM to change that. You probably can change it the way it is but that involves smali editing of the settings.apk. That takes me years back lol, doubt I'll remember what to do.
[Android General] kirito9:
Lol, I'm not even sure. You're making a mini tablet? Maybe [MENTION=2145275]jezzaaaa[/MENTION] may have an idea.
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
Sorry, I have no idea. Perhaps change FSL_LANDSCAPE_MODE instead of or as well as ro.sf.hwrotation.

It looks like a mini car tablet, hence has to be always in landscape. Very cool. [MENTION=8098437]nemanjapixi[/MENTION], can you tell me what software you're using for this?
[Android General] uninstalll:
thanks again.i attach the build.prop.
[Android General] _Eagle_:
I did that, but nothing...stuck on boot and nothing happens.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
to make a mini tablet for the car. Total use launcher, and this background I found on google, and Bootanimation. I've done over the rotation build.prop and everything rotates excellent, but we do not like to touch calibration well, but we work as a portrait in fashion, and the whole system is the landscape and inconvenient to use. how to change and touch calibraciju in landscape?

But not working CM rom for 8050D, whether there is some other rom?
[Android General] jezzaaaa:
In CM, go to settings -> developer options, select "Advanced restart" and you should have an extended restart menu.

In later CM ROMs (I'm using LineageOS v14.1), you can then go to settings -> buttons -> power menu, then choose what options you'd like to see on the extended restart menu.
[Android General] nemanjapixi:
Where to download CM rom for 8050D?
[Android General] kirito9:
Your tablet has one of those older chips and fortunately for you I worked on it before. I'll try to get a TWRP/CTR build for you later. For now, you can backup your ROM with MiracleBox. Then upload your stock boot.img, recovery.img and your scatter file.
[Android General] kirito9:
If you can flash TWRP again and enter it, download this backup and restore it. Make sure the file paths are the same for the TWRP backup.
[Android General] kirito9:
I do not know if it's possible to completely change the touch to landscape mode from portrait but here is the link to the CM12 ROM.
