[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
You're screwed? What do you mean, did you flash it?

If the home key is a soft key then that combination won't work. Maybe this device has a locked bootloader much like the Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL. If that's the case, I won't advice flashing this recovery until there is a way to restore your device. Or if there's still warranty.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
No, sorry, didn't flash anything yet. Just trying to find out if the Bootloader is indeed locked. Easiest way usually is to boot into it and check. I know there is a terminal cmd to check Bootloader status but I'm having trouble finding it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Hmm ok. Let me know if you find anything, I'll try checking too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
A user on stackexchange suggested an alternative method for checking the bootloader status.

Maybe this will work, give it a try and see.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
No, didn't work. I am rooted though so I will see if I can get into the hidden menu via activities launcher. I noticed in your thread here http://xdaforums.com/android/general/root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-34-official-t3193624

The directions for similar device don't include Bootloader unlock. Is that a prerequisite?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
No it's not a prerequisite but I thought since you have the Qualcomm model it might have a locked bootloader. Some devices do not have a fastboot partition and therefore does not have any need of unlocking the bootloader. Your device might be similar to this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
Which may explain why I can't boot into Fastboot. One more question before I flash. Does the presence of "OEM Unlocking" in Developers Options tell us anything?

Edit: What would the Fastboot partition be called?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Oh I forgot to ask you about that, do you have developer options enabled and also enable oem unlocking then try again. I'm not sure but I think it would be in the boot.img? So you can't really see it as a partition.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
Flashed it...no good. what about if I try

$su
#dd if=/storage/sdcard1/recovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-5017Bport.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34/

?

Not sure if I need the last backslash or not.

Maybe that will work? I'm pretty sure recovery is gone at this point anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Hmm, does your device still boot? If it does, flash the stock recovery. What app did you use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
Yes it boots. When I try to boot to recovery it blinks once and then boots into android. I've seen it before. Recovery is borked. I used flashify then Rashr. I was going to try flashfire but it won't flash an image.

So close yet so far. Probably one tiny wire in the USB port:(

Edit: Back to stock recovery, no problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Hmm, probably didn't port it properly. I suspected it wouldn't boot because I did something extra. I'll do basic porting and try again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
So you don't think it's the bootloader then? I started out with a Verizon S4 with an eFuse locked bootloader. I bricked and recovered 11 times. This is a walk in the park so far? Let me know what you need.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
No, I don't think it's the bootloader as you were able to reflash the stock recovery. I'm trying again to compile TWRP for MSM8909 from source and I think I got it this time. Will make a device tree for you and send the recovery for you to test.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
Sounds great. I'm so glad to have this opportunity to help and to work with you. My thought was if I did need a USB connection, at this point I'd just go buy a new one to finish what we started.

Brand new in the box. Only one left. $29.00.

No go. This time the device just shuts down when I try to reboot to recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
Ahh still fails huh. Should we wait until you get your new device to see if it has a fastboot partition?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
Back to stock, no problem. I never bought that. I was just considering it. Any more tricks up your sleeve?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NitroKoS:
Hi guys, I have enjoyed reading your thread.

I just purchased a few Virgin Mobile Alcatel OneTouch Elevates (5017b) and I bricked one of them; rooted with kingo root, then ran super sume pro it froze and on restart all I get is the powered by android screen.

I have attempted the factory reset but I just get the same results, stuck on the powered by android screen.

Is this phone to far gone to fix or are there any methods available to me?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
:( took longer to flash so I thought it might work, flashed back to stock again, no problem. So what was your opinion on the dd command? I suppose the right partition is being flashed since I lose recovery though. Ever heard of Loki?

I had this happen, after letting it loop a while I think I just held the power button or something, at any rate it came out of the loop and booted fine:eek: IDK. You did everything like I did, just monkey with it a bit. The factory reset may have messed things up a bit though. If you can get into Fastboot, that's a good sign.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirito9:
I think I've heard of loki before but didn't really read into it. What is it exactly? It took longer to flash? Using Rashr or Flashify? My opinion on dd? To flash? I'm not sure what to think lol.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
Well, that makes two of us. I think Loki is a bootstrap. You can use it to push a recovery img. I followed this thread for an LG Device that used it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgoff1995:
I own an Alcatel One Touch and I love it. I wanna see the rooting process before and after the fact or even during the process of rooting stabilize before I try something like this on for size. I encourage other to try to get the job done and give me some tips about what to do and what to avoid when doing so before, during, and after rooting the device. I want to know if rooting my phone will void my phone's insurance, does anybody know about that? Can anybody who has Boost Mobile tell me if Boost Mobile has anything against me rooting my device? I appreciate the time and effort to get me some good knowledge about this kind of stuff, thank you very much for ready this in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg260:
There is no such thing as safe rooting, there is always the inherent risk of Borking your device. It is up to you to make this desicion.

Also, if you are talking about the B2017 Elevate I'm not sure if you need insurance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgoff1995:
Kingoroot did the trick! Insurance is still intact and it is untethered, so now I know I can use the warranty if I undo the root. I advise everybody to read the contract from their carrier because I know mine wasn't happy but they didn't have it in writing, so they still have to service me if I pay my bill.

On a positive note, if you're on this site, you're reading, so I have Boost Mobile but I don't know how it affects T-Mobile for example. I am trying to jump to T-Mobile in the end-game anyways.
[Moto G4 Plus Accessories] xda2014:
For my Moto G 1st gen I bought a Nillkin flip cover. it had a tab with a magnet to make sure the flip cover does not open accidently. See attached pic.

I would like to get a Nillkin QIN Series flip cover for the Moto G4 Plus I intend to buy. However, I noticed it does not have a tab to keep/lock the flip cover closed.

Any one here got this cover please let me know if it (does not have?) has any mechanism to keep it closed.

Product Link : http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...ssories/nillkin-motorola-moto-g4-plus-5-5-qin

I have one of these for my G4. It does not have any closure mechanism - but that's the way I like it.
[Moto G4 Plus Accessories] xda2014:
Are you saying that there's no mechanism to retain the flip cover in the closed position? It just like hangs loosely?

I thought the reply from Nillkin implied that the ' stiffening plate ' held it closed.
[Moto G4 Plus Accessories] IM7:
The front bit is stiff so sits nicely on top when it's closed.

Hey Sameer thanks for the twrp man.

I have installed EU firmware of phicomm E653, but Now I am facing a problem related to network i.e. it does not support indian 4g bands- Band 5 (850) and band 40 (2300MHZ) it only supports 1800mhz band. I need band 40. I have changed NV RAM values using qpst and qxdm still no luck.

Is there anyway to unlock band 40 ?(I know changing NVRAM values but some other software change is also needed i guess )

If you have the original firmware of indian version can u please provide me the same ?

Next you need to use odin in computer to put the file .tar.md5 in Odin and plug you devise with USB cable , and press power + home + volume - in mode download.

And in Odin you start to flash.

My device has 2 weeks and was charged only 6 or 7 times, but AccuBattery reports that my battery has capacity of 2800 mAh instead of expected 3000 mAh, which gives 93% health.

I know that these are only estimates, but at my previous device, Xperia Z it was very close to official specification (99%).

Should I worry about my OnePlus and already submit a warranty ticket, or maybe battery in this phone is really that weak? Might someone post his results from this or similar app?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] EP2008:
Bought my op3 and it's measuring less than 2800MAh, I'm getting pretty good battery life so I don't know if the app is just not accurate or what.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] sandeeppathak007:

But otherwise the phone itself is great - and fairly cheap for what it offers. Plus the community support is on "Nexus" level.

I'd go for it (again) ?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rg_gapa:
Don't get scared about that issue. My OP works great even without 3000mAh, I easily can get 5 days of standby, with normal usage, only with turned off phone at night :)

Edit: Maybe easily is too much said, I use 50% pixel filter and Efficiency battery mode, then OP consumes 20% battery per day. But even without it you can still get 3-4 days, with some calls and photos made, plus some time spent on the Feedly :)
