I'm not currently using a Linux setup. I use Windows version of Cygwin/Android Kitchen.

What is current price of this phone? I want to buy one for development. The one I have bought from www.walmart.com at $11.9 only. In august 2016. Such good phone must be sold out or prices would have gone high.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
I did not buy this phone from att. Here is the USA, it's an att Prepaid or Pay as you go phone. I bought it from Best Buy for $9.99 about a year ago. This phone was a dream, you could pick it up from Walmart or Best Buy, go online and ask att to unlock the phone without having an account, contract, or anything. Two days later you would get your unlock code through your email, and you could use the phone with whichever GSM company you wanted. In my case, that was Freedompop's Global SIM service, which uses all of att's cellular bands, so as long as you change the APN Network Settings. I heard att no longer allows people to do that, now you need to use the phone at least 6 months to get it unlocked, this is why this phone was very important to me. The phone is still being sold for about $20, but locked to att.

I'm only guessing here, but the way I bricked this phone was by removing all the att and google bloatware that came with this phone. The phone might have been dependent on something there, because as of that instant, the phone would no longer connect to my PC through normal usb transfer method or usb debugging. Many applications would no longer install or open (call dialer was one of them), nor could I sideload applications either. For about 6 months however, I could still use data on my phone. My GPS Maps would still open, and I could use Freedompop's Global SIM for traffic updates. Other than navigation, my phone couldn't do anything really. I also lost root, and without being able to install applications or connect to my PC, this phone was practically a GPS system with data.

When I heard about TWRP, I restored the 4060A_TWRP_sys_backup onto my phone, and everything came back to life. Everything works now except for the fact that my phone can no longer detect my SIM cards, and the APN Network Settings are grayed out. Flashing the 4060A_Stock5.1.1 image has the same result: everything works but Network Settings grayed out. The crazy thing is that if I remove my SIM card from the phone, I get a "NO SIM card in the phone Please insert a SIM card" message. If I leave the SIM card in, it won't read it Lol. I guess this is just one of those things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
My device will not boot into fastboot mode. I've used a root explorer and searched everywhere. I think I found the OTA in the form of a .bin file. AT&T is known for hiding OTAs well. If you want I can upload the bin for you to explore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdm6389:
[MENTION=5989831]Merazomo[/MENTION] Flashing the 4060A_Stock5.1.1 image once again after reading this . You also need to modify zip file /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script you need to remove 3 spaces. Then use the modified zip to flash again using twrp.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
My updater-script flashes the ROM without any error. I double checked, performed a full wipe, and flashed the ROM. The script correctly installs /boot, /system, and the stock modem/radio files. I see no need for modifications.

You could proceed with compiling your pure stock ROM. Write the updater script and get it fully compiled. We can either include your ROM (with credit to you) in my thread, or you could draft your own thread. I'm sure there are many users who would like a pure stock ROM for the Ideal.

If I can get these OTAs captured, I'll update my modem thread with the various basebands in a TWRP flashable zip.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
I'm getting the same result: Network Settings grayed out, "NO SIM card in the phone Please insert a SIM card" message when starting the phone without SIM.

Furthermore, I just remembered I purchased two phones that day, and after looking for it all day and this morning, I finally found it. Both phones were factory unlocked the same day, so I installed the Freedompop SIM card and it reads it without any problems. I went ahead and installed TWRP on the new phone as well, backed up every single partition through TWRP; I think there are 44 partition or something like that. I went ahead and restored all of them onto the phone that won't read the SIMs, and it still won't read the SIM. It does detect that I have removed the SIM from the phone, but it won't activate data.

I bough the same phones from the same place around the same time, unlocked them at the same time. They're practically twins, would it be safe to assume that if I restored every single partition from the backup of the working phone, to the failing phone and it still doesn't work, it's damaged? Or is there more to it? Why would the phone detect that a SIM has been removed if it's damaged? Who knows. I'll try to get this phone running, and if something happens, I'll update the new info.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Try flashing my baseband zip in the modem thread. It may return your signal and connectivity to normal.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
Flashing 4060A_Baseband didn't work. I've given up on this device to be used as a phone. I'm just going to use it as a media device. There's no reason as of why it's not working after flashing all those stock images.

I'm still under warranty from Alcatel as I got it last Black Friday, and every company I know gives at least 1-Year manufacturer warranty; however, shipping and handling would probably cost me more than what I originally paid for the phone. Plus, they would probably send me a carrier locked phone. I can pick one of those for $20 at Walmart.

I guess it was just the thrill of getting this one back to life, and helping somebody else with the same problem as me, that stubbornly kept me trying. Thank you all so much for your help. I will leave this phone as my Guinea Pig and keep trying new things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
I know what you mean. What exactly is happening? Is the ROM working except for connectivity to the network?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
Wifi, bluetooth, am/fm radio, etc. Everything is working just fine. The phone has been restored to Factory Condition. There's a "No SIM card - Emergency calls only" message on the phone, but if I remove the SIM, now there's a "NO SIM card in the phone Please insert a SIM card" Lol. The Mobile Networks section is completely grayed out. I can't make any charges of any sorts. Either way, I can't get an ipod touch for $9.99 right? Maybe this year they'll be even less.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
If you can get in fastboot mode, try this:

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
I've tried getting into fastboot mode with this phone, but I've never been successful. Every time I go to my "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder and type the command:

adb reboot bootloader

followed by the command:

fastboot erase modemst1

it always tells me that it's "waiting for any device"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Yeah I get the same result. But don't give up all hope. I'll write you a flashable zip that will do the same thing. I'm willing if you are. It's worth a try. I believe your issue is with nv data (modemst1 and modemst2).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:

Something I want you to try if you can: with the device powered down, remove your SIM. Boot up the device, open the stock dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#*, and select "Phone Information" from the menu. Once in the radio menu, scroll down to "Preferred Networks" and select "LTE only" from the list of networks. Then "Turn Radio Off" on the radio power selector. Hit your home button and go to Settings, Backup & Reset, and select "Device Reset" from the menu. The device will reset network configurations, etc., and reboot. Upon reboot again dial *#"#4636#*#*, Preferred Networks, and select "LTE/GSM auto (PRL). If the radio is powered off, power it back on. Power off the device, install SIM, reboot. Dial *#"#4636#*#* and "Run Ping Test" at the top of the radio settings menu. Scroll down and "Turn on RAM Dump". If you do not have a signal yet, reboot once more and this may fix your signal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
It was a very well written tutorial, could not have been any clearer. I was able to do everything it said; however, it did not work. I'm still getting the "no Sim card - emergency calls only" message.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
Hmmmnm. Perplexing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
Don't trouble yourself with it anymore. The troubleshooting part of me questions why everything else works except for data, why it detects when the SIM is removed, why it doesn't work after every partition available from a working phone has been restored onto it, I've never dropped the phone or gotten it wet; however, something could have burned inside, maybe the SIM card slot contracts are worn out, who knows. Some things just don't make sense. I feel like opening the phone, but at least now I have a media device, if I break it I'll have nothing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoJunkie01:
I do have a zip nearly compiled which will restore nv data to factory default. (this typically is done from fastboot by using fastboot erase modemst1 & fastboot erase modemst2). It couldn't hurt anything to try, but I understand if you decline.

Your dilemma has me so perplexed I can't help myself from seeking the answer, so please excuse my persistence.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
No worries. Go ahead then. I just didn't want to bother you any more with my nonsense. I'll flash whatever you want onto this phone. We're already here right? Might as well give it a few last shots.

Setp 1: Download this ROM from here by MotoJunkie01 , but /system is infected with SuperSu and Busybox (as the author says itself)

Setp2: Register and download the qualcomm image here by schot, but you cant use this image directly via TWRP without octopus devices.

Step 3: Let's fuse to get purest stock

|-META-INF

| |-com

| | |-google

| | | |-android

| | | | |-update-binary

| | | | |-updater-script (needs replacement, replcae this after removing .txt extention since, xda does not allow any file to upload)

| |-CERT.RSA

| |-CERT.SF.txt

| |-MANIFEST.MF.txt

|-boot.img

|-fsg.img

|-modem.img

|-system.img (delete this, need replacement with system.img avlable in needrom.com rar file, in step 2)

|-mmcblk0p25 (this is recovery, you need to add this file, you will get this after extracting from here)

Note: you can use drag and drop to overwrite system.img,updater-script and adding mmcblk0p25

Now you are done compress this as zip (sign or no sign your wish) to get ROM

Flash ZIP using TWRP

updater-script.txt =rename=> updater-script =replaceInZip=>

system.img { nredrom.com RAR } ===> system.img { [ROM][STOCK][5.1.1] Alcatel Ideal (4060A) } =replaceInZip=>
