[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] thegreeat:
1. Le 2 is displaying the date in MM/DD/YYYY in the notification bar. How to change it to DD/MM/YYYY ? there is no direct option in Date/Time.

2. Also when I am using the QR code scanner it is always taking me to the stock browser instead of chrome, though I set chrome as a default browser.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Saurabh K:
Don't know about the 1st one. But try clearing default settings of the stock browser and the next time you scan a barcode, it should give you a choice between chrome or stock or any other browser.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] bgeke:
Observed it first time after reading . In X526, If I change Phone's Language to Tamil or Hindi, the date format is DD/MM/YYYY. But I can't use regional languages. 'm using English(UK), format is MM/DD.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] :
Good Job ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
Wow ! It will be nice for flashing twrp.img on stock 6.0.1 ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Yep, when all work is completed it can be used to flash not only custom recovery, but any partition. For example, a lot ot users of 6039Y was displeased Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. With this tool they can flash Android 5.0.2 image or any custom ROM. But now need some testers to check exising functions: reading GPT, handset info and making backup of boot & recovery partitions. If somebody wanna help project development - test existing function on your phone and make a small report here (work or not, any bugs and difficulties, etc). It's absolutelly safely to your device, because no any writings to device in this version, only reading existing info. So, will be great to see some tester's reports here ...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
i'll try it soon

Backup of partition is active?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Yes, you can now backup boot and recovery partition.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] bouldou:
hello, nice job !

Could you make a tutorial about going back to TWRP and LL ROM, on the 6039 ? I updated to stock MM and I'm stuck now...

Thanks a lot

[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
How Sahara & Firehose test determine COM30 on your PC? Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 or some other? Make sure that other programs that possibly can interact with COM-ports are not running at this moment (i mean - Mobile Upgrade, any 3G/4G modem dashboards and others).
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Do you test current version of software on your handset? If does, plz, make a small report here.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
I apply "detect", my HS-USB Qloader is on COM30 (verified) and no other app running.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Strange. Can you try to do the same test on other PC? Also, can you delete current drivers and ugrade / reinstall it from here? To reinstall drivers just unpack the archive Qualcomm USB Drivers For Windows.7z , find COM30 in your device manager and choose "Update ...", than select the unpacked folder as drivers source (don't forget to check [x] Look in subfolders).
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
Same result: driver updated, reboot and retry

and no other PC with windows
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Let's wait for results from other testers with 6045Y ... I have around 5 success stories about 6039Y (except mine), and 1 success and 2 fail reports (included yours) about 6045Y. If you find possibility to try it on other PC with same phone - it would be helpfull.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
Ok, work with my daughter PC ;) on w10

can read GPT, Info.

but can't read recovery and boot (i've selected this lines), message: Error process "boot", empty filename"

EDIT: oups, i missing enter a filename for backup ! so, now, it work for backup

nice for now

EDIT: On my PC, i disable USB3 controler and now, it work

thanks :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Nice to hear. But, before release next build of app with flashing partitioning functional we should fix all possible (and impossible too ;) errors in interacting with a COM-port. Which OS is installed on your previous PC? Win XP / 7 / 8 / 8.1 ? x86 or x64? Are you sure that on this PC you haven't installed any software (or serivces) that possibly can interact with a COM-port too? Situation you described above strongly resembles that after you connect phone in download mode some other app tries to read some packets from COM port and this is the reason why Sahara and Firehose app fails to load programmer.

Today i was taken 6045Y from my mates on a hour and test all by myself (Win 8.1 Pro x64), here is a small video that demonstates all the process:

Sahara & Firehose Test. Demonstration on Alcatel OT-6045Y.

2All: You can use this video as a small "video guide" to test the app.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
You are right, some problems with COM-port operating can be caused by some specific USB 3.0 Controllers. Better to do all with USB 2.0 port. Thx for reply.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
My PC is I3 4320 w8.1 pro x64 , but now it work if i disable (in bios) USB3 controller (ETRON USB3.0 controller). So all ports are USB2 now.

My daughter HandBook core I5 4440 is W10 with USB3 enable and it work.

For usefull interface, can you enlarge windows (to see full partition lines) ? and add import GPT ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Yes, this app designed to be universal, so, in future it should work with all 6039 variants. Now i'm trying determine cause and fix this errors. Similar situation have another one user with 6045Y.

p.s. Could you test app in two variants: same PC with other phone and same phone with other PC and post report here?

p.p.s. New build from 06.09.2016 available. Download the latest version before make any tests.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
All Work with 6045Y on:

Dell I3-3240 W7 x32

Intel serie7 USB3 controller

driver RELINK HS-USB Qloader 9008
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] mobilexpert:
[MENTION=5660972]DeckerSU[/MENTION], contact me if you are interested to add factory files flashing, or need more models stock flashes, loaders, etc.

[MENTION=4599772]murigny64[/MENTION], and others :

It is WELL known that only perfect OS for Qualcomm programming is WinXP-SP2/3.

It works pretty stable on Win7/32bit. Less stable on Win7/64bit, but still acceptable, and compatibility mode is very recommended.

All other newer crap os'es from micro$oft are not intended / totally unstable for Qualcomm programming.

I am using INTEL Z77 board, and USB3.0 ports are working normal on Win7-32/64 os,

tested under QPST, QFIL, and other factory downloaders for qualcomm phones.

b.r.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Build from 07.09.2016 02:13:58 (UTC+4) is available. Redownload the app and test it again. Also, try to test it with same phone and other PC, and same PC and other phone (if it's possible). Sooner we will fix all errors with reading partitions - faster i'm implement writing.

Also, need more reports. Especially those users that have some problems with partition reading.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Thx in advance, if i need something - i will contact you.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] pablog_86:
I've redownloaded the tool from first post. Tried with same PC and phone but without luck. Tried again from different PC and get the same behaviour. The app hangs while reading partitions.

Unfortunatelly I can't get another device to try, but I will stay alert to your updates.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Thx for reply. And what the last lines in the log, before app hangs? Can you make a screenshot?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
First build with writing partitions support is available! Redownload the app.

NB! Before you do any writings to a phone - strongly recommended to make a backup of existing partitions. If in backup (reading) process you get some errors or application hangs, or other unexpected things - you shouldn't write anything to phone. If backup is succeded - you can try write feature.

For example, instruction to flash TWRP recovery:

1. Download TWRP recovery image for your phone model from other threads on this forum. Unpack it.

2. Download latest Sahara & Firehose test app from the link in the first post of this thread.

3. Switch your phone to download mode, download NPRG to it and read GPT.

4. Select recovery partition and set a filename for backup. Press Read button.

5. If backup was successed, select your TWRP recovery image as a file for recovery partition and press Write button.

p.s. If something goes wrong and in such reasons you was damaged any partition on phone - use the Mobile Upgrade Q to restore phone to a factory state.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
Wow ! Work fine again !

I've tried to flash twrp.img and it work. Thanks

Can you add some usefull things:

- possibility enlarging app to see all columns

- possibility resizing columns

- add a reboot button

- simple click to select partition

- possibility importing gpt.bin

Nice job ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
- Yes, i think resize feuture will be available next week.

- You are reading my mind ;) "Reset button" is that i'm working now.

- Double click to enable / disable checkbox is no accident using. Enabling single-click is a way to get some problems in GUI. May be later, but not now.

- Explain, why? GPT is reading from device. It describes current partition structure. If users can be ably to import GPT - there is can be a situation when user imports GPT that not corresponding current partitons structure, as a result, when writing recovery, for example, user can damage other partitions.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
I'm thinking about repartitioning 6039 with the gpt.bin ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
For repartition - simple flash zip for repartition via TWRP from this post. Direct link.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] copernik11:
Hi

First of all thank you for this tool

Everything worked fine for me (idol 3 6039y, tested on windows xp and windows 7)

So i've been able to read recovery partition, backup and then flash twrp 3.0

But now twrp is installed I cannot flash supersu

When leaving recovery, twrp ask me if I want to install supersu I say yes but no supersu when booting the phone

I also tried flashing supersu.zip with twrp but nothing changed still no root

So I have custom recovery but I cannot flash supersu

If someone can help me thanks in advance
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
It's not the good thread for this. Post it on "troubleshoot" section, thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] bouldou:
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this great tool !! Thanks to you I was able, on my 6039Y with stock MM, to :

- flash TWRP

- restore to my LL rom backup

I finally will have TWRP again! Thanks again
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] bouldou:
That's odd, I cannot root my phone anymore after revert to LL... Anyone had this problem ? I unlocked the bootloader

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Thanks a lot
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
[MENTION=4413734]bouldou[/MENTION].

Your root issue is not due to Alcatel flasher.

Look at downgrade bootstacks and supersu systemless issue.

So, stop spaming this thread and create a thread on q&a troubleshooting. Thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] plumbe0:
Tried your software with W10 Pro Anniversary Edition x64 and had no trouble at all. Device was communicating on COM4. I have a USB 3.0 controller but it worked even with it being enabled. So after making a backup of everything i should be able to flash TWRP 3.0.0.1 and have no troubles right? Even with MM?

EDIT: tried backing up all 35 partitions but only got recovery and boot. The software said it couldn't backup other partitions because of demo limitations...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
Yes, for now, you can only read/write recovery and boot. Wait for new build ;)

I see on decker.su that you work only for you because nobody are interesting on AlcatelFlasher. :(

You make a version for Idol4 and it's a great news !!! because nobody have root on this model and you solve this issue. Amazing !

I've created a thread on french forum (FRandroid) about your work with a tutorial : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/248966-tuto60456039-installer-twrp-grace-à-alcatel-flasher/

You're right, my thread have no comments, nobody are interresting by your work?!!?

Please, continue to share ! We need you ;) You have to be patient ....
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
2murigny64: Thx for your great tutorial, i think it will be helpful for most non-expirienced users. Concerning work on Sahara & Firehose Test (Alcatel Flasher) - it will be continued, but without user's interest (i mean - reports, comments, suggestions, offers, donation) new releases will not go often. Any new information about project developement will be posted here and on official project page.

p.s. Thx againg for your interest ...

I have downloaded Alcatel Flasher but my antivirus say that it's a virus (a trojan horse).
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Sahara & Firehose Test App (Alcatel Flasher) is protected with VMProtect Software, this alarm is false positive. You can contact support of your antivirus vendor to solve this problem, or you can temporarily off your protection or change the AV software.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] AAlphaDev:
Ok thanks for your answer, my antivirus is ****ty anyway.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] kireflow90:
I would love to see this for the Idol 4. I know you've been developing on it for some time now so I am patiently waiting. Thanks for all the work
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] DeckerSU:
Congratulations to all with the release of the long-awaited build with Alcatel Idol 4 6055 support enabled, starting with the release of 10/23/2016, this device is fully supported:

Unfortunately, due to the low interest of users and the lack of project support I am forced to suspend all work on it. Some statistics: over than 1,000 people have downloaded the utility and only 5 (five from thousand) of them was supported the project. Totally project collected only 60 USD, which is not enough to buy other devices and continue this work. Furthermore, i was received in PM few messages like "why i must suffer, you must release it today", "why you wanna donate, if u wanna money - find a job as a programmer or something like this" ... Attitude like this kill all the motivation to continue this work in me. May be in future i will return to this project, but now is temporarily closed. Users make their own choice, nobody need it, nobody wanna support.

For all users who wants TWRP recovery image for Idol 4 6055, here is it: twrp_recovery_idol4_6055.img.

WBR, DeckerSU.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] tonydd:
Nooooooooooooooo, I just received my 6055p and was just informed about donations.

People always want for free what others must sacrifice time/knowledge for. Thanks for dev mod and hopefully you'll be back soon.

Thank you for all the work you did, I understand your point of view, even if I do not share it.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] murigny64:
Ok Decker. If you want more interesting, change your thread title like " TWRP and Root for IDOL3 and 4 on MM".

It will be more comprehensive for noobs.

And redo it on IDOL 4 section.

After following the steeps of: detect --> NPRG --> get GPT with success in every one of them, i can neither backup boot nor recovery, the tool keeps freezing while making the backup. What could be the problem?

I've almost lost the hope to update to MM, LP forever... or 7.0? Who knows...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] jani0417:
if you are on LP, you can easily root even with kingroot, then flash a twrp with 'flashify' from play store.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] KingLuwi:
When I use it sahara firehouse stops responding when I try to back up my recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] jani0417:
same here and other ones as well :(

i found a hint here or in other thread, according to that the problem is with the usb configuration or the driver - i highly doubt it.

i think it's something with the different versions and variants of the idol 3 phones - i guess the russian version of the 6039Y is not 100% the same as the western european 6039Y.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] KingLuwi:
I hope someone knows the solution I would try a different computer but i don't have another one.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] jani0417:
I've found a note from decker on a russian forum, he wrote that if the app hangs on read, this step can be skipped. So we should just try to write. If it can't write TWRP, the stock recovery won't be overwritten.

Well, who dares to test it? :D

-edit-

flashing works, but phone hangs during boot - tested with twrp from cm12.1 & twrp from decker
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] KingLuwi:
Nice! I'm sorry for the noobish question but what does it mean when your phone hangs during boot?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] jani0417:
it doesn't finish the boot process, get into a loophole and never finish the boot, you can't use the phone, you can just watch the bootanimation forever :)

that twrp is for 6039 only, do not try to flash it on a 6045!!!

imho if you get a bootloop and you're not an expert, the best is to restore system with mobile q

i don't know 6045 at all, so i just suppose you to get every info before you start to play with the rom, i.e. button combination to get into recovery, which twrp working with stock rom etc.

good luck!

1 last question when I boot into twrp can't I just backup stock rom just in case I get into a bootloop, so I wont have to resort to using mobile upgrade q.
