Hello guys,
I'm new here, and I don't know if I'm posting on the right section, but I cannot find a "Mediacom Tablet" section of the forum.
I'm trying to alter the boot logo of my android tablet rom, I've extracted the boot.img file with a tool called "wendal" , and then I've extracted it with a tool called "extractboot" ... then I've swapped the "initlogo.rle" with my own logo (I've renamed it initlogo.rle of course), and then I've rebuilt the boot.img again (with "packboot").
Now, I've a "boot_new.img" ready to flash on my Mediacom Smartpad 720i .. So I've open RKAndroidTool, and I've selected my new boot image.. But my tablet fail to boot (of course I can still flash it back with stock fw)
I'm pretty sure that the problem is the offset in RKAndroidTool I don't know what to write exactly in the offset field :/
I've tryied with "0x00008000" , but since my modified Boot.img is bigger than the original one, I think that it fail for that reason
Any help please ? Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english
hello guys,
First thing is I'm a noob here, totally noob, altough I have used galaxy fit for almost one year now and have tried many, many custom roms here, I think it is already the time that I'm making my own.
So I read many tutorial how to make a custom rom, with dsixda kitchen. I read there on the original thread that dsixda kitchen didn't support our device, but I was persistent, downloaded all the requisites, and skip skip, finally I understand now why, because the file system of DXKT7 is rfs (system.rfs), it must be converted into ext4, or at least has system.img (am I wrong?), so I search every tutorial about converting file system into ext4, and almost all suggest it should be done on the device itself, or should I say, flashing this stock rom via ODIN, root it, and then u can convert it into ext4.
isn't there any way to make it done in PC so I can start edit this rom in kitchen?
I read it somewhere about extracting initframs.cpio from zimage, please, if anyone know this way, please teach me how
any explanation are appreciated, thank u in advance guys, n sorry for my english

not very hard ,just extract initramfs.cpio from the zImage ,add this line
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y in filesystems,then change Mount points in init.rc of Ramdisk
and then Format All Dev Blocks e.g. System,Data,Cache to ext4 !!

copy system.rfs and csc.rfs from a stock rom and boot.img from custom rom to ur original_update folder and extract it...follow onscreen instructions in the kitchen and use magiciso to extract system folder and then do the mods and all u want and pack it now it will work meta-inf folder will be autogenertaed but replace the update-binary in ur created rom from anyother custom rom and it will surely work

I have unpacked boot.img using advanced options in kitchen's menu, now I have folder ramdisk and zImage, what to do now to convert it to ext4?
oh, I followed ur instruction, extract system.rfs with magicIso and put them together with boot image (the one from stock) and others in original update folder and now I can deodex it.
my question, should I change the boot.img with custom rom's boot image so it can support ext4 file system or just go with the stock?
or how can I change the kernel?
edit : oh, after hours searching I just found this thread, everything I need is here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414534
anyway thank u guys.

ur boot.img from stock is rfs format so it wont work if u use that...use boot.img from any custom rom that is also based on ur baseband version(DXKT7)man..the boot.img will automaticaly have the ext4 filesystem(in custom boot.img not stock)....kernel is later part of ur rom man better not go into that now .....copy boot.img from custom rom of ur baseband version then system.rfs and csc.rfs file from stock rom and do as i said above and dont forget to replace update-binary in ur rom after creating the output_zip file from any other custom rom or ur rom wont install
Hi,
As the title suggests I'm looking for the original firmware of the Alcatel OT 4033D because, after I bricked mine, I can't find a working ROM for my phone (I've tried various ROM for MT6572 processor and Android 4.2.2 but I don't read the SD card and the SIM (Although setting the correct IMEI))
If someone is own this device could make me a dump? I just need the file "system.img", the others I already have.
PS: It's okay if it's not the file .Img but the zip of the partition with the files contained in /system
Thanks in advance to who answers C:

Can u tell me how did u installed CWM? I can't find the compatible image..
Or, if u want, can u upload it? So I'll do a backup and I'll upload it! TY
Edit:
I've installed CWM 5 ad I did a nandroid backup.. It's 1.6GB ( uncompressed ).. So, I'll begin to upload it 31 night (GMT+1) splitted in parts in MEGA or MediaFire.
If someone can test it is better, but it should work!

Thank you for that n1osbb2;51494733.
I also have a bricked one, it gets stuck at animation. I can boot into stock recovery.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix it?
Another idea is if we could change the firmware version number to something lower, then the Alacatel "Mobile Upgrade S" would be essentially forced to overwrite it. Right now it sees my phone's version as up to date and stops there.
So... Is it at all possible to alter the firware version number on the phone?
edit
n1osbb2, could you please take a backup with MTK Droid Root & Tools as well?
You can find it here under Android Software and Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi, the backup by MTK droid tools fails everytime, I'm trying to debug the error.. If I have sucess I'll upload it.
BTW you can try another methods:
-Flash the CWM using MTK droid tools ( if you want the modified recovery,img I can upload it, or if u want MTK generates the img automatically: there is a guide on google; and then you can flash my backup without user data trought the CWM
If u want CWM make adb works, so you can do a backup of your firmware in order to can come back in the prevoiuos situation if it's needed
OR
-Using the latest version of SP flash tools, u can flash the system.img that u can find in my CWM backup. The latest version have no bugs with the generation of the scatter file, so it could work, but I'm not sure
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand..
Let me know if one of this methods works, thank you!

Thanks for the reply.
Is the modified recovery.img not the one included in the zip you uploaded?
Re the second option, there is no system.img inside - that's the reason I asked for a MTK Droid Root & Tools backup.
The contents of your zip are these:
Code:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar

I confused the system.ext4.tar with the system.ext4.img
So, I have done half MTK droid backup (it stops when it give me the error, so is not thecomplete backup, but the system.img os ok..) and there is the system image file.. I can upload it 5-04 night (GMT+1) or maybe this night. I'll post the link when it's uploaded.
The firmware of the 4033D have the custpack partiotion too, adn I don't know if it's needed too, so if the flash of system.img fails I'll upload the custpack too
The recovery with CWM is here: https://www.mediafire.com/?bg4rtah9tsbhszs
EDIT: I done a full backup with MTK adn I prepared files for flash tool. I compressed it all in ~460MB archive, t should contain everything. The upload time is the same!
EDIT2 4-3-14 0051 gmt+1: I'm uploading it on Mediafire! It's a high compressed arc archive, so it can drop the pc perfomance while extracting, so have patience
With my connection it wants a lot of time, it say ~8hrs
