Hello, and hope this is the right place to post this.
So, without any knowledge about all this smatphone/android stuff, I finally got one by a really good price. An ot-983.
Some friends conviced me to root it. I found a way to do it and noticing all the bloatware from it's original carrier (this phone was carrier unlocked when bought) I decided to clean up a bit.
I ended up cleaning a lot of stuff that I simply didn't use from a \custapp\ folder in there.
Thing is, a day latter I got a notification of a firmware update and I just said yes.
The said update failed, complaining it seems about the lack of some of the deleted bloatware.
Now, here's when the lack of thinking shows.
Wondering about it, I decided to look around options and found the factory reset.
Being a new and mostly empty phone, I did it (wiped clean the sd too),
And there, it went all into hell!
After reboot, it can't get my wireless anymore (have to use a static ip workaround for it...)
Root Checker says it's not properly rooted (using the same rooting technique as the first time doesn't fix it)
superuser still seems to be working, altho it crashes now and then with some errors about permissions.
also, can't get BusyBox working because it says there's no su binary and I can't download an update for it.
In short, I guess I need to get this phone to it's basics, if possible unbranded.
I don't really know what I need for that, but here I am, reaching at you that might help
I guess I need a stock rom and a way to flash it.
I'd appreciate a lot any help on getting whatever it is needed.
*cheers

I simply downloaded the drivers from alcatel website
and then used the root package from here: <can't post outside links. it's a thread on error-soft dot net
Followed the instructions on the .txt included and it worked.
After that I think I had to install Superuser app (from live store)
be careful. My problems came from deleting some stock apps included and then doing a firmware update.
so, don't delete stuff around if you're thinking in doing the upgrade.

Where did you get the upgrade from ?
My story is like this: rooted, uninstalled some bloat from system and after a factory reset I'm stuck in the initial setup wizard (after completing almost all stages from setup it crashes at the end, after connecting at the google account - tryed to ignore that step but either way it crashes). Fastboot works but adb don't.
I do have another identical phone Alcatel One Touch OT-983 but with no root, with no modifications. Is there a way to backup the original/stock image and flash it over the malfunctioning one and restore it??
I tried with the proprietary upgrade tool from Alcatel but no succes as it close saying I don't need an upgrade because it's the last version of software installed in my phone. I thought even to broke intentionally the rom but I'm afraid that the upgrade utility from Alcatel will let me down, as I read that another users didn't managed to complete successfully the upgrading process. Is there a way to trick the system that has a previous version of Android?
Thank you for taking your time to read this and hope someone has an idea to solve our problem.
Have a nice day guys, you can contact me at puiocku at gmail dot com.

I recently "semi bricked", if my Alcatel OT983, if that's possible. It would not boot fully and got stuck on the "jrdsetupwizard has stopped" screen.
Here's what I did. The issue with getting the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade software to work appears to be getting the correct USB Driver installed. There are a number of potential USB drivers. This phone needs the driver in the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade. The stock Windows one or the one used for rooting the phone using instructions from the errorsoft website from the oneofgod will not work with this upgrade procedure.
1. Download the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade software and install on your machine. Open up the folder where the software is installed.
Look inside the folder that is called USB Driver and look inside the appropriate folder for your type of Windows machine 64bit or 32bit (x86) and install that driver for USB - that is the correct one for the upgrade
2. Run the upgrade software whilst connected to the internet. Connect your phone when it is off. You should just get the Android icon i.e. not charging or anything else. The icon should just stay there all the time the process takes place.
3. The upgrade will download. It's when the process gets to about 70% that the phone the starts upgrading. It will take a few moments but when it starts progressing into the late 70s and 80s you should be well on the way. At least that's how it went for me and I got my phone back!
Hope this helps.

Tanks for share the ROM.. I need it to recover my friends phone..
I just got this phone, not looking to root it yet as theres no option for a custom rom yet.
didnt want to start a new thread as theres not really any section for this phone yet.
Everything was fine until i installed the firmware update. Now applications cannot access the mic. Some complain about it being in use by another app. others like video editor or sound recorder will record, but the video recorder there is no file, and sound recorder crashes when you hit stop.
Alcatels website is useless, wasnt working yesterday, today it is but cant find any contact details incase its a bug in there firmware. Everything works fine except for that. Which is annoying because i use RTA software and now it doesnt as it cant access the mic.
any ideas?
Hi guys,
I've rooted my phone with abd and udpate.zip a long time ago, and it was fine till some days ago it stopped from receiving calls and the home button does nothing when pressed, although in recovey mode it works.
I've done a hard reset, reflashed the recovery.img, system.img and boot.img I've found in this post with fasboot, but did not solve the problem.
I've tried a firmware update with Alcatel's own software but it just keeps saying my firmware is updated already. I've also tried to edit the proinfo file, but I don't know what to change in the file. You can see more about that method here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9772370-post8.html
My guess is that the files that are corrupted and preventing me from receiving calls are somewhere else than those img's I've flashed. Has anybody got a FULL backup of his rom (e.g. Rom Manager) so I can recover the phone completely?
Thanks!

I own a HTC Explorer. I rooted it a few months back. This is the tutorial I used (just for your reference) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415223
I have not used the factory reset option yet but somehow, when I restarted my phone today it got stuck in boot loop. Can anyone suggest a good ROM which is the closest to the stock ROM? It should just be closest to the stock ROM as I don't care for any extra feature, just the basic functionality of the phone. Also link me the tutorial that I should refer to when doing this. If it is the same one that I used for rooting, let me know what's different that I must do since I know that some steps will be different cause I'm installing a new ROM and previous tutorial I used was only to root the phone.
Thank you. Ill be getting online back in 8-9 hours so if you need any details regarding the phone I shall be able to do it then.

Bump, please help. Ill also search for threads that might have the needed answer.
Hello everybody.
I have a problem rooting a N9776 bought from DealExtreme, this is the 4.1.1 version with the 3.4 kernel.
The problem is that it is impossible to root, at least for me. I tried every method on this forum (and others) in order to get it root, unsuccesfully.
This is a list of the methods i tried (as i remember).
- Bin4ry exploit (the first that i tried)[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460]= I click on restore, the phone reboot, nothing happend (no root, no SU.apk)
- MT6577 CWMR Root (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8mxvy0ey5yfdu59)=
First problem: I cannot generate the recovery.img, i used cygwin's command to do it, but the image does not appears
Second problem: I managed to get all the links in the guide, but i don't know if there are the versions needed in order to get this done, due to missing links in the guide itself.
Third problem: cygwin says: "perl v5.14.0 required, v5.10 used", and i don't know how to upgrade perl .. or what the hell perl.
-SP Flash (tool http://colonelzap.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=n9770): I loaded the scatter file, pressed the "download" button, take of my N9776 battery, USB pluged in, put the battery back on, the process starts for like 2 seconds, and boom, error (BROM ERROR: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)).
Im getting a little bit to frustrated, and just to be clear, i will say two things:
1- I'm a complete and absolute noob on all this, i never rooted a phone before (only a tablet, wich was easy).
2- My english isn't perfect (as you can notice), so, sorry for that.
Can somebody help me with this?

Hello!
I'm a noob as well, but I'll try my best to help with whatever I can as I have semi bricked my phone several times and safely got away with it. Assuming you followed the instructions on the Google developer page for Android L, have you tried reverting back to KitKat with the factory images they have provided via SDK? With SDK, you can open up the terminal in the SDK tools path to send commands forcing your phone into certain modes such as fastboot that is needed to flash the factory images.

Baz, click the link in my signature. There is a step by step guide to flash back to stock.

I installed root on my AT&T LG G3 and after I installed TWRP using the Bump method, I made a backup so that I can mess around a bit more with something to fall back on. Lo and behold, something eventually happened where it looks like I flashed something meant for a different variant of the G3. As a result, I had a null IMEI. I thought to myself, "No problem, I can just go recover my TWRP backup", but when I did, my IMEI problem persisted still. Even worse, when I recovered from the back up, the phone got stuck in a cycle of booting to the lock screen, turning off, booting to the lock screen, turning off, etc.
In short, is there anything I can do that does not require sending it in to the store for repair? Much obliged.
Return G3 To Stock
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827
I just followed the same directions and returned my LG g3 to stock firmware and modem (which is causing the problem of no IMEI for you)
Thanks for the reply! The only issue is that whenever I try to unroot, I get the "Can't change to download mode" error. Any input on that end?
Unplug from computer then plug back in till it works might have to do it a couple of times
Alot of people seemed to be having issues with Windows 8.1 so I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and followed the steps in the guide above. It's going through the unroot process at the moment.
