hi guys i still lots of info about rooting.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367249
for my device? no stupid answer please. i am desperate
in rooting

I used this method ,Put the installation zip file on your tablet's external SD card. If you don't have an external SD card, CWM zip file, download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?do5jkna3dpas1tq ...Installing from factory (3e) recovery:
Use the volume up/down buttons to move the highlight up and down, and the power button to select the highlighted option.
1. Select "apply update from external storage"
2. Select the file you placed on your storage card (starts with "p6210_CWMR".)
3. Sit back and watch it run. Read the information that is being sent to the screen. If there's an error, it'll display some message. If it works, it'll display a message starting with the word "Done!"
4. Select "reboot system now."
You now have a CWM-based recovery installed, and your tablet is rooted.

What is the Recovery Android?
The recovery is no more than a text mode that is loaded during the startup phase in place of the operating system itself. A recovery allows to perform certain operations at a low level otherwise not possible during normal operation of the system.
The recovery is in all Android devices, although the basic version. To activate it you must use a well defined sequence of commands.
In the case of Samsung Galaxy series you can access the recovery mode by holding down both by phone off the VOLUME UP +POWER BUTTON....... What is the Recovery Android?
With the recovery you can perform certain operations.
The most important is to restore the factory settings, especially useful when you are not able to access the phone features due to various system errors or corruption of important files.
Other operations in the recovery of basic cleaning &of the cache (though already included within the factory reset) and the installation of "files signed" by Samsung.......... What are the custom recovery ?
A recovery base is very limited, because of that have been created by independent developers of recovery can change the commands to extend the basic versions come with Android.
The most common functions offered by the modified recovery are different.
The main one is undoubtedly the ability to install files "unsigned" (eg zip install from sdcard), then that can be created by anyone.
This is precisely the case of the cooked roms that are prepared in the form of packets. Zip.
Another function is that of widespread nandroid backup, that is a complete image of all partitions on the phone. ...there are no problem for bricked to device, your rom is great, with this procedure I have had no problems..........

I am using the P6200 but i was having a similar issue yesterday.
How i solved it was doing a re-stock to ICS and installing the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip file in the stock recovery, meaning it might be better to root before you install CWM, Also the App SuperSU app from the market, once this is done.. proceed to install CWM..
This was how i managed to get it going. This worked on the P6200
This is development, not a help section.
Iam sure, someone and me will help you in correct section!!!
And if you would have read a bit here, you would have noticed that almost EVERYONE had this problem after ics upgrade... !!
Search by yourself before asking dumb questions

There's an easier way.
First, obtain root by the method in this thread, which can be done using stock recovery. I did this on my GT-P6210 (wi-fi only, not from T-Mobile, so don't worry about that).
Second, get the newer and better CWM Recovery from this thread, where aorth recommends using Heimdall to flash, but I (and a lot of others) had trouble getting Heimdall to work, so I ended up buying Mobile Odin from the Play store and using it to flash. It worked perfectly. Now I have rooted ICS with CWM Recovery.
@Bad2hold: I feel your comments are uncalled for. There's so much info on here that it's not always easy to tell what's old, what's new, and what applies to your exact situation. Why not be helpful instead?
Yeah, general is better than development section, so here ya go:
Easiest way is to do exactly what you have described above, but using temporary cwm instead of 3e. (Links in the quote)
(Actually the easiest and fastest is the heimdall way but it needs some reading and drivers)
ROOT AFTER ICS UPDATE
Flash with heimdall. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508703
Code: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
Use aorth's img version from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29077817
And rename to recovery or type full file name instead of recovery.img
Than flash root+supersu from recovery. flashable zips here:
http://goo.im/superuser and that root.zip what u already have
Or use this method here with temporary cwm touch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28689474
Confirmed working but only temporary cwm with that way.
mashkuov said:
this is a working root for ICS :laugh:
- Download these 2 files ( CWM.zip and root.zip ) and put in your SDCARD:
- Reboot to recovery: (Hold Volume Up+Power till it reboot to recovery)
- Choose apply update from external storage.
- Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
- Once the cwm recovery appear: Touch the screen to choose and navigate the options
* This cwm recovery is only temporary cwm recovery.
Once you had install the cwm recovery, navigate and;
- Choose install zip from sdcard.
- Choose zip from sdcard.
- Choose root.zip ;and Yes - Install root.zip.
- Once done, choose reboot system now.
* Your device is rooted without permanent cwm recovery: If you don't need cwm recovery. You can stop at here.
You will find superuser app in your drawer

If u need permanent cwm, use aorths, linke on top, just flash with mobile odin available for free here on xda) by renaming his file to recovery.img
Or search a flashable zip and also flash it via temp. Cwm

[Q] Re: THE ULTIMATE NEWB GUIDE. I'm too noob for to noob guide, help.

. I don't even want a custom ROM. I just want to be rooted and run stock with rooted google play store apps. Am I there?
I just want to run rooted apps with no ROM flashing...oh god why...where is the guide to root and only root?
You'd think this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1652398 would be where to go to do that, but evidently it's sending me down the road to custom ROM flashing. AGHGHGhjkdashbdas. Do not want.
Ok, so here's where I am, I have finished step 8:
1. Download Odin 1.85 .
2. Download(USE FIREFOX!) ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 OR TWRP 2.2.2.0, they are both named "recovery.tar.md5" and will be downloaded as "recovery.tar.md5", DO NOT CHANGE the filename or else it wont install.
3. Extract the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder.
4. Run Odin 1.85.exe from the folder you extracted it to.
5. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
6. Only Click "PDA" and select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
7. How To Put your device into Download Mode: DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE. - download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT to your phone.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. ATT PHONES - Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
ROGERS PHONES - Press and keep down only the Volume Down key.
DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME KEY(S) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN STEP (f)
e. Insert the USB cable into your device. The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted - DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON.
f. You will now see a screen w/a yellow triangle warning you about installing a rom . Now release the volume key(s) - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
g. Press and release the "Volume Up" key to enter into download mode - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
h. You should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognizing your phone. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
8. Click Start in Odin. It will flash the new recovery and will reboot the phone when completed. Your device will autoreboot into android. You are done using ODIN.
9. UPDATING CWM OR TWRP:
Now you need to udate CWM, download and copy cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_skyrocket.zip file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and choose "INSTALL FROM SDCARD" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
sk8erwitskil's CWM thread is here HERE , check to see if above file is the latest or dl the "Flashable zip" CWM file from there.
If upgrading TWRP go here HERE and follow the dev's instructions on using goo app, or you can use the flashable TWRP 2.4.1.0 file HERE and copy that file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and pick "INSTALL" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
How to enter recovery read section #2 below.
How to use cwm read THIS, also read Q&A on recoveries
You can upgrade to either CWM OR TWRP from which ever recovery TAR file you used in ODIN in step #2 from above.
10. You're done newbie and soon to be a power user, read and educate yourself as much as you can before flashing, happy flashing.

I don't know how to do step 9. Do I even need it? I have no desire to run a custom ROM.
yargdpirate said:
OK so here's the list of instructions I'm using to root my Skyrocket:
I have completed everything through step 4. I completely do not understand what to do after that. So, like I'm a 40 year old soccer mom, can you explain what I'm supposed to do to fulfill step 5? Is it through the odin app on my pc? Is this completed on my phone? The link provided that ostensibly explains to noobs how to do this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970) doesn't adequately explain to me what I'm doing and where.
Help, please!

Assuming that you have successfully installed your custom recovery you then need to know which recovery you installed before you update it. If you used CWM you can get the updated version from the Skyrocket development thread. Put the updated CWM file on your SD card and flash that zip while in recovery. If you used TWRP you can update it through the app that it installed if it did install one. GooManager (someone correct me if I am wrong on the name) I think GooManager needs suoeruser privileges. So which recovery did you flash?

i think you should stay on stock, read more b4 you brick your phone, no sense in rooting/installing custom roms when you dont know how to install a file on your scard, im not putting you down but trying to give you friendly advice
Vincom has a point. I taught myself through these forums and Google how to do it back in October of 2011. I flashed many a ROM and many files since then until I bricked mine Thursday. Now I have to pay 60 dollars to get it fixed. But on the upside I now have a Note II to play with.
Edit: She is asking for help though and she did ask in the right thread. Some people need more help than others.

For just rooting u have to run the superuser zip through your recovery
Oh and if you are not understanding what the stickies are saying to do then look it up on youtube because there are a lot of step by step instructions there.

a. put updated file in your micro sd card.... plug ur micro sd card to pc... drag file and drop it in your micro sd card. put the micro sd card back in phone.
b. to go to recovery press power button + vol+ + vol- all at once and hold.
why do u need to unlock play store app? playstore is accessible completely even without root. you can also sideload Amazon appstore and other apps without root. no need to get all bricked up just to run playstore. i'm confused what are you trying to do again?

im guessing he wants to run apps from play that require root, eg titanuim backup, but he doesnt know how to put a file on his sdcard, but then he has to learn how to install zips from recovery which someones got to teach him since he doesnt want to read/learn/search for the answers. he seems to be impatient and wants it done "now", its a brick waiting to happen, my advice to him was to slowdown and learn

It you just want to root and not want to flash any custom ROMs or anything related to it,I will tell you how to from total beginning
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST , BACKUP EVERYTHING
In order to root Android 4.2 the following three requirements must be satisfied beforehand:
The Android SDK, which you can download from Google Developers
A custom recovery like ClockworkMod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
SuperSU, which you can download from CF-Root
There are no major differences between the two, but TWRP is more touch-oriented thanks to larger buttons. CWM is also available in a touch-compatible variant, but it has much smaller buttons. It's a matter of personal preference between the two though, but you have to choose one.
Before starting the process I urge you to perform a backup, as all data might be lost afterwards. You can copy the contents of the SD card to a safe external location such as cloud storage service or computer hard drive.
The first step that needs to be performed after all the files are downloaded is to install the Android SDK. Afterwards open the Android SDK Manager and select the following two items:
Android SDK Platform-tools -- it contains the required programs to install Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Google USB Driver -- it contains the necessary drivers for the Nexus device
Then you should create a folder in an easily accessible location within the command line. In this example I will use a folder named "Root" in my C:\ drive in Windows. The path name will therefore be: "C:\Root".
From the folder where Android SDK Platform-tools is installed (in my case it is "C:\Program Files x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" copy the following files to the previously created "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
The following files must also be copied to the "Root" folder:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery that you previously downloaded for your specific device (please see below)
For my 8 GB nexus 7 wifi(codename "grouper" I will use TWRP with the name "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img".
You can easily find the codename for your devoice by looking into Google
The custom recovery file differs for each device, please make sure you download the correct file
In order to make the process smoother for instance the SuperSU file can be renamed to "root.zip" and the custom recovery to "customrecovery.zip". It's a matter of convenience, but for accuracy I will stick to the original naming for this guide.
If the previous steps are completed you must have the following six files in your "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery. In my case it is "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img"
From there, you can proceed to install the drivers for "fastboot mode". To install them, follow these steps:
Power off your Nexus device.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume Down then press and hold the Power button; the device will now enter "fastboot mode".
Go to Device Manager (Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager in Windows 7/8) and identify the device; for me it shows up as Android 1.0.
Right click Android 1.0 and select "Update Driver Software," then select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer," then click "Next".
From "Have Disk..." option go to the folder where you have Google USB Driver installed (for me it's "C:\Program Files .(x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and select "android_winusb.inf".
Out of the three options select "Android ADB Interface" and validate any future warning window to install the driver.
Final preparations
Everything is prepared in order to start the installation process, but in order to do so a command window must be opened. Windows Key + R opens "Run"; type in "cmd" and the command window appears. Typing "cd C:\Root" and pressing Enter sets the "Root" folder as the working directory. Pressing the Shift key and right clicking inside the "Root" folder will also deliver the same result.
The device must be turned on in "fastboot mode" which I have explained at step no.2 during the driver installation process, and obviously plugged-in to the computer. You then have to type in the following commands while in "fastboot mode":
fastboot devices -- this is just for verification purposes; if there is no listed device then the drivers have been improperly installed and steps 1 through 7 must be redone.
fastboot oem unlock -> you have to accept the prompt in order to continue -- this command will unlock the bootloader, but it will also erase the data on the device which is why a backup is necessary.
fastboot reboot-bootloader -- this will reboot the bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img -- this will flash the custom recovery --please use the specific file and name for your particular Nexus device!
fastboot erase cache -- this will erase the cache -- might not be necessary but it's just as a precaution.
fastboot reboot -- this will reboot the device.
After Android 4.2 is loaded and running the SuperSU file must be copied from the "Root" folder to the internal storage (shows up in Windows Explorer as a Nexus device). A simple copy and paste will do the trick here.
Then you have to power off the Nexus device and enter "fastboot mode" again. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate until you can select "Recovery Mode". After the power button is pressed the device will reboot in the new custom recovery.
Rooting your Nexus device
If you have ClockworkMod installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select "0" (zero) folder
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Yes - Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Go Back"
Select "reboot system now"
If you have Team Win Recovery Project installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Press "Install".\
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip" -- for me it's in the "0" (zero) folder
Swipe to confirm flash
Press "Wipe cache/dalvik" (just as a precaution)
Swipe to wipe
Press "Reboot System"
After Android 4.2 loads your device can run apps with elevated privileges (meaning it's rooted). A SuperSU app is installed in order to allow root requests, so please use your judgement on which apps you grant access.
If you experiences any problem, please reply and I will look into it.

Mar 29, 2013 Ξ57 CommentsRoot and Install CWM Recovery on Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Android 4.1.1/4.1.2
posted by Rakesh Shukla
Rooting an Android device has many privileges. Having rooted your phone once, you are able to use third-party custom ROMs and mods that require a custom recovery to be installed. Besides, there are hundreds,or say thousands, of app that are capable of doing wondrous things and enhance your phones performance and usability. But this humble eulogy of rooting cannot undermine the hazards associated with it.
Rooting a Samsung Galaxy device is much easier than rooting any device manufactured by other OEMs but when it comes to rooting a Samsung phone from Verizon, things get a little more complicated and rounded. However, complicated it might be, it cannot stop our great Devs to crack the nut. All props and credit for the method described here goes to XDA member open1your1eyes0.
Disclaimer:
Please note that the procedure of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and installing a custom recovery on your Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 is considered risky. Moreover, it will also void the warranty of your phone. Proceed only when you are sure what you are going to do and understand the seriousness of things. More than anything, be careful while following the steps.
Looking for Rooting Tutorial for Some Other S3 Variant?
Take a look all Galaxy S3 rooting tutorials here.
Prerequisites:
•Charge your phone to have at least 60% of battery juice.
•Rooting does not wipe any data from your phone but we would strongly recommend that you backup all your contacts, messages, call-log, apps, etc. Here are some good free apps to help you with backing up your data.
•Put your device in USB Debugging mode from Settings> Developer Options>
Required Downloads:
Since this tutorial is for Galaxy S3 I535 on Android 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 both, download the files accordingly- only different being the stock bootchain file. For the sake of convenience put all the downloaded files in one folder.
These are important but mandatory files. If you have them, just skip:
•Download the Odin tool and extract the zip on your desktop: Odin3-v3.07.zip – Mirror
•Download Samsung USB Drivers and install on your computer. Skip if you already have it: Download
These two files are meant to be downloaded by all:
•Download the custom Bootchain file: VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 – Mirror
•Download CWM Recovery: CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 — Mirror
Download one of the following files depending on what you want:
•Download SuperSU file (for Root Only): CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
•Download SuperUser file to (Root and Unlock Bootloader both): SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip — Mirror
Download one of the following bootchain files depending on firmware version of your Galaxy S3 SCH-I535:
•Bootchain file for VRBLK3 (Jelly Bean 4.1.1): VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
•Bootchain file for VRBMB1 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2): VRBMB1_Bootchain.tar.md5 — Mirror
Root, Unlock Bootloader and Install CWM:
Already made the preparations and downloaded the required stuff? It’s action time now. Be careful and proceed.
1.Copy the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file to your phone’s internal or external SD card.
2.Turn off your Galaxy S3 and boot it into Download mode: hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for a few seconds till you see a warning screen asking you to press Volume Up key to continue. Pressing this key will take you to Download or Odin mode.
3.Open the Odin folder and run the .exe file present there and then connect your Galaxy S3 to PC via USB cable. Wait till Odin detects your device and you see ID:COM port turning Blue and “Added!!” text at the message box below.
4.Now we will flash the custom bootchain file so make sure that “Auto Reboot” and “F Reset Time” are selected on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select the “VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5″ file and click on “Start” button on Odin.
5.The bootchain file will be flashed in a few seconds and you will see “RESET!!” message with blue signal. Your phone will reboot automatically. Close the Odin window and disconnect the USB cable.
6.Now you need to install the ClockworkMod touch recovery. To install it, boot the phone into Download mode again (as you did in Step #2 above).
7.Relaunch the Odin, connect the phone using the cable and uncheck the “Auto Reboot” option on Odin.
8.Click on the PDA button, select the “CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5″ file and hit the “Start” button.
9.CWM Recovery will be flashed to your phone followed by “PASS!!”. This time your phone will not reboot automatically. Close the Odin window.
10.Now pull out the back cover of the phone and remove the battery. Place the battery to its place after about 30 seconds.
11.Then boot the phone into ClockworkMod recovery mode. To do this, hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously. Keep the 3 keys pressed till your phone vibrates and when it does, release the Power button but keep the other 2 keys pressed till you a gray background with blue text the clockworkmod recovery written on the top of the screen.
12.Since it’s touch recovery, you can either select options by tapping, or using the volume and power keys.
13.Okay, now go to “install zip from sdcard> choose zip from sdcard” and select the “SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip” file.
14.Confirm your choice by selecting “yes’ and let the installation finish.
15.When it’s done, go back and select “reboot system now”. But before your phone boots, pull out the battery and place it back after a few seconds.
16.Once again, and for the third time. you will have to boot the device in Download Mode. You know well how to do it.
17.Relaunch Odin, connect the phone to PC, click on PDA button and select the stock bootchain file (either VRBLK3 or VRBMB1) depending on what file you have downloaded.
18.Click the “Start” button to initiate the installation. When it is finished, the phone will reboot automatically.
So, now you have a fully rooted Verizon Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 with unlocked bootloader and ClockworkMod recovery installed. To verify the root, download any app that requires root permissions. However, there is a specific app for the purpose and you can find it at the Play Store
Everything went sucessfully and my phone was rooted. I did encounter one problem and that was I couldn't get the CWM Touch Recovery to stick. I found out with the help of a few forum members that I needed to select "yes" on the propmt to overwrite the stock recovery. (the warnign I got stated ROM will flash back to stock. Would you like to fix this? YES= This can not be undone/ NO or Go Back. I was selecting go back because I was not sure on what to select and CWM would never stick it would always reboot back to stock. Last night I did select yes, and it worked fine.) I went back and fixed the issue, and now CWM Touch Recovery is flashed on my phone. I also used Terminal Emulater to back up my IMEI.
My question is, because I initailly did'nt flash the CWM Touch Recovery the right way (right way meaning selecting yes) does this mean I didn't unlock my bootloader? I'm a complete noob and just want to make sure I have things in order.
Thanks,
Take a look at this thread to determine if you bootloader is unlocked.

[Q] note 10.1 stuck on samsung logo

Hi guys, I need your help. I've got galaxy note 10.1 tab. I stupidly tried flashing cwm through rom manager, even though it wasn't compatible! Now, I'm stuck on the samsung logo when booting up. It is rooted via exynos abuse. Its on stock rom and no custom recovery. I can get to download mode and the android recovery. On top of that, I've been trying to install odin on my computer, but its not working, keep getting Korean message, and when I click ok, the odin window comes up for a split second, then disappears. I really need some help please.
Thanks in advance
Try googling about download mode and fastboot utilite from Android Development Bundle
With this utilite you can try to flash recovery image
Result!!!
Firstly thanks to xxxTy3uKxxx for the prompt reply to my question. It helped me look in the right direction to sort my blunder! In the end I couldn't use the above method because it required to have the tablet in "USB DEBUGGING MODE" which I couldn't do because I couldn't get the damn thing on!
So, now that I've fixed it (if I didn't my missus would have killed me) I wanted to share with all as there doesn't seem to be a lot of solutions around to fix this problem!
From the above post you can see what the problem was, I was only able to get to either download mode or the android stock recovery, and the phone was not booting past the "note 10.1" logo
- I basically had to download the "rootgalaxynote10.1" zip file from rootgalaxynote.com.
- Then, using Odin I flashed the "highonandroidCWMrecoveryGTN8000.tar" file. This gave me custom recovery (you can't flash roms with stock android recovery)
- From here I downloaded a rom for my N8010, and put in on a micro sd card. Put this in the note 10.1, then used custom recovery to flash this rom
NB. I encountered a problem with Odin, and that was I couldn't open it on my lap top! I downloaded numerous files/versions, but no luck. Some forums said to run as administrator or switch off firewall/anti-virus, but nothing worked! I then tried it on a different lap top and VOILA! I don't know why, but it worked on different lap top!
I hope this helps someone out in the future
PS. Hit thanks if I saved your back side
Biggup to u both. Almost thought id lost my tablet after I committed the very same crime

OMG. Thanx for your experience but I have no computer with windows now Are there any ideas how to flash a recovery with Linux?
OK. I've found an alternative to odin called Heimdall and succesfully flashed the Darkman's recovery. However it is not able for some reason to mount the /system and /sdcard partitions (which I'd like to back up first). Any ideas?

Sorry mate, not to familiar with that. Might need one of the more experienced guys to help you out. Good luck:good:
Sorry for writing so late and in such a for dummies manner. I want this thread to be helpful for absolutely everyone who bricked his device like this.
COMPLETE SOLUTION:
First, you can try to flash your ROM (stock roms can be found here. There's another topic with more stock roms but I can't find it) with Heimdall, excluding the data partition to preserve... erm.. your data:
Install Heimdall with its graphical frontend.
Connect your device to your computer via USB cable and put it in download mode (ODIN mode) (Power+VolumeDown).
Open the Heimdall frontend, go to the Utilities tab.
Press Detect device. The device detected radiobutton to the left should be checked.
Under Print PIT check the Local File radiobutton and select where to save your device's partition data to (I named the file n8k.pit) in the browse dialog under it. Then press the Print button.
Now go to the Flash tab. Select the file you just created in the browse dialog under Options/PIT.
unpack the .zip containing your ROM. Then unpack the .tar.md5 that was inside it. You'll get several .img files.
Press the Add button. Select 'SYSTEM' from the Partition Name list. Select the system.img file you just unpacked under File (system.img).
For each entry in the following list, do the previous step, substituting 'SYSTEM' and system.img by:
BOOT and boot.img, respectively;
CACHE and cache.img, respectively
Take a deep breath and press Start.
And then you can go the hard, perverted&interesting way, and that's the way I went.
download this zipfile and unpack it. Find highonandroidCWMrecoveryGTN8000.tar among the unpacked files and unpack that. You'll get a recovery.img file.
download another version of CWM reccovery in an Odin-flashable format, unpack it to get the recovery.img
download PhilZ Touch Recovery for your device in ODIN-flashable format. Unpack and get the recovery.img.
Do steps 1-6 from the instruction above.
Press the Add button. Select 'RECOVERY' from the Partition Name list. Select your recovery.img file under File (recovery.img).
Press the Start button and wait for the operation to finish.
If you did not flash the PhilZ recovery right away, download it in CWM-flashable zip format, put on your SD card, load your new recovery and flash the zip.
Open the recovery, go to Backup and Restore => Custom Backup and Restore => Custom Backup job
Uncheck everything except backup data and optionally backup recovery, then press >> Start Custom Backup Job <<[/color].
Download a ROM of your liking, wipe data&cache, flash it, try it.
If you like it, try to restore data. Get the recovery going, go to Custom Restore job => uncheck all except data => >> Start Custom Restore Job <<[/color] => find your backup => data.ext4.tar) and reboot the device. If it doesn't bootloop, congratulations. If it does, GOTO 8.
Remember to hit the [:good:Thanks] button if this guide has saved yer arse.

Alcatel Flash or 6042D Stock ROM, ROOTING, CWM RECOVERY

I am not a android guy but faced lot of challenge in finding the Stock ROM for Alcatel Flash or TCL 6042D or Alcatel 6042D. Found one here but having few corrupted files due to which "settings" "message" and few others didn't worked well and in fact frequent crash. Fortunately I had another 6042D to my relative and I took CWM backup of that device and would like to share with you.
Please follow the following steps and don't do otherwise, as only these settings worked for me, other settings may not work. Please Note That these steps are applicable provided that required driver for that device is installed properly.
STEP-A: Download these three files. Please add https: to all links.
1. Stock Recovery and Scatter File package.
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FSkI0UUMxNDc4WEk/view?usp=sharing
2. SP Flash Tool Software
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FRjV2dF81c1VLY1E/view?usp=sharing
3. CWM Backup package
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380Fb0NoWTNTLWhtQjA/view?usp=sharing
4. Extract the three files
STEP-B: Recovery Install. No root required
1. Go to sp flash tool folder and run it.
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FMU1NUlFZQzFVNWc/view?usp=sharing
2. Then load scatter for the device from "SPtool_stock_recovery_scatter_OT6042D" folder.
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FRFZPRElfdDAwR0E/view?usp=sharing
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FWmhXZmlDLU5oQzQ/view?usp=sharing
3. If scatter file loaded successfully then you will see "boot" and "recovery" is marked. You must unmark or deselect the boot file. Then double click the recovery file to choose a recovery. Do not choose the recovery from "SPtool_stock_recovery_scatter_OT6042D" folder.. Choose the recovery from "\clockworkmod\backup\2015-10-16.14.26.59\recovey.img". Then press download button.
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FUmtsMHI2WTRMakU/view?usp=sharing
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FQzJLNjB2cDNiQ2M/view?usp=sharing
4. Connect your phone to Computer USB. Then turn the Phone completely OFF. Then after few seconds you will see the SP flash tool is working and sending file. File transfer rate and status will be shown in status bar.
5. If things are ok then you will see a Green Circle as "OK" symbol. And you are done with installing CWM recovery. Now turn the Phone ON.
STEP-C: Installing Stock ROM
1. Copy the extracted "clockworkmod" folder to the root directory of microSD card.
2. Turn OFF the Phone and wait for vibration. After vibration press "UP VOLUME + DOWN VOLUME + POWER" key same time and wait to see Alcatel logo. Release the buttons.
3. You should see the CWM recovery screen. Now follow the steps
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
Goto Advance then wipe dalvic cache and go back
backup or restore
restore
Choose the file from "clockworkmod\backup\2015-10-16.14.26.59"
chose yes in confirmation screen
Wait to see "restore from SD card complete"
4. reboot system now. First boot will take some time . Have patience.
Links are from Google drive. Sometimes google does not allow download of zip files. Let me know if it happens.
Thanks and Jajakallahu Khairan
