[ROOT] for Sophone V75 MTK6575 maybe Godphone too - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have managed to get my Sophone V75 to a stage where I have ICS 4.0.3, ClockWorkMOD in English, ROOT privledges and a working Google Play Store aka the Android Market
Here are some toys for people to play with, (I accept no responsibility for bricked devices etc etc...)
You will need to have ADB drivers installed on your PC and your phone with USB Debugging enabled.
1) An ENGLISH version of ClockWorkMOD (CWM) for the Sophone V75 with MTK6575 CPU
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?w5pzb2sq3jpa9vt
2) The SP Flash Tool for MTK6575 devices
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wbbd4tqby4p4537
3) The DoomLord tool to Root your Sophone V75 running ICS
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m4xgvut4w5ddh55
4) The HTC ADB VCOM driver
http://www.mediafire.com/?z6f695zx5zr0yqk
5) The firmware I used in combination with SP Flash Tool and the CWM Recovery file
http://www.mediafire.com/?c82xozd1f1i2cy5
And last but not least...
6) A CWM backup of an ICS 4.0.3 ROM for the Sophone V75 with working Google Play Store
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?quo8bxedoqbch7c
The steps I took
1) I factory defaulted the phone
2) Installed the HTC driver
3) Enabled USB debugging on the phone
4) plugged it in
5) I used the DoomLord tool to Root the Phone.
6) Extracted the MP_MT75_h910_v75w_kaiy_ics_aphone+201206....rar firmware file to one directory
7) Extracted the SP Flash Tool to another directory
8) Copied the CWM Recovery file to another directory
9) Started the SP Flash tool and loaded the scatter file (NOT the FORMAT scatter file)
10) Changed the recovery file to the CWM Recovery version
11) Then I used the SP Flash Tool to flash the firmware and CWM Recovery to the phone by clicking download
12) I then installed ROMmanager and used it to boot to recovery
13) Finally I used CWM recovery menu to apply the ROM zip file and reboted into my new ICS phone.
I know this is not a Step by Step with pictures etc. Let me know if it works for you.
My only problem now is that my phone seems to have a radio IMG that is not very good as I am in a fringe reception area.
I would appreciate help in improving my 2G/3G reception, Does anyone have a good radio backup?

I did not have any luck with your link, It came back with file not found.
Did you paste the link in right or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
First of all. thanks for posting this tutorial, now I have a chance to make my now useless Soponhe V75 (just got it ) to a workable Anrdoird- iPhone replica.
Now my question:
How should I use the SP Flash Tool to flash the CWM Recovery to the phone?
How can I even "upload" the CWM recovery to the program?
I tried to look for some quides for the SP flash tool, and it showed one ought to remove the battery at some point. Isn´t the Sophone battery soldered in?
If you could elaborate the flashing process, I would aprecciate it.
I managed to root the phone though. Now I just want the new IOS and google play to work (without these horrible chinese apps).
Thank you!

This is the correct link
https:
//rapidshare.com/files/2248738...666 - Copy.zip
Hopefully it works.
I have tried to install your recovery file but with no succes. The phone does not go further after apple logo. I have an other recovery file that works but it is in chinese.
Where did you find this recovery file?
Thanks in advance

You reminded me that I left out a step.
I used the SP Flash tool and a firmware I was supplied by the factory and replace the supplied Recovery file wit the CWM recovery file.
I will try to remember to upload the firmware tonight.

How were you able to flash the Sophone in the first place,
I have spent hours installing & unistanling MT6575 USB VCOM drivers so that I could flash the recovery img to the phone.
I was able to install the recovery.img via Rom manager application.
By the way,what does the firmware you didin´t put on the instrucitons do and do I also need the flashing tool to work for uploading it?
I was able to install the Android.4.0_623.zip and I now have android on the phone.
Does anyone know If I the Goophone IOS 5.1 sotware works with Sophone?
In addition, if I now try to factory reset the phone, is there a file in the phone memory that has a back up of the original IOS-copy software?
(If not, could someone upload their back-up file of the original settings for this phone)
Thanks alot!

The firmware I forgot the link for is just what I used to flash the CWM recovery with.
I extracted it and used the scatter file in the SP Flash Tool (NOT the FORMAT one), extracted the CWM recovery to another directory and double clicked the recovery file in the SP Flash Tool and changed it to the CWM Recovery file.
I then clicked the download button.
As for getting the ADB USB driver working, I think I used the HTC drivers, it says driver HTC corporation version 2.0.7.3
Try this one for the HTC ADB VCOM driver
http://www.mediafire.com/?z6f695zx5zr0yqk
And this is the firmware I used in combination with SP Flash Tool and the CWM Recovery file

I tried the Goophone ROM REX V3 and my phone would not boot, I am pretty sure the Goophone ROMS are not compatible with the Sophone V75
Regards the original IOS, you could try my link to file #5 in the original post It is the firmware I was supplied by the factory.
I have updated the instructions in the first post too.

Thanks for all the information again ufbc.
The android OS and google play now work flawlessly but,
I now have the exact same problem as you have, I have horrible wifi reception on the phone! I have to stand next to my router in order to get any signal. In addition, I get no 2G or 3G (or any data) at all, there isn´t even a 2G/3G/4G sign next to the signal bar (I´m in Finland, and there never seems to be any problems with 2/3G...)
Please, If you manage to find a goot radio image (neither of the links Richende posted seem to work right now) and a quick tutorial on how to install / flash the upgraded radio image, I would be really thankful!

Do you have a copy of the ROM you had loaded before you flashed my ROM to your phone? If so cold you post a link to it.
Perhaps someone could unpack the baseband from it and combine the best of each ROM.

Unfortunately I did not save any back ups per se, as by being a noob at this thing I thought the original ROM would be auotmatically saved in the phone memory. (I.e. doing a factory reset would get me back to the original IOS)
But do you have atleast some kind of 2G/3G/edge reception?
Since I have none, and I was wondering if the ICS version you uploaded is not intended for EU mobile networks?
I posted to Q&A already if someone can help in finding a good radio.img file.

I have that ROM running and both 2G and 3g work great in town, but not at home in the country.
You could try flashing the other firmware that is flashed using the SP Flash Tool and see if that improves things.
It is always a good idea to do a BACKUP B4 you FLASH, I know.... too little too late.
What carrier are you with and what frequencies do they use for 2G and 3G?
You could go into the engineering settings and check the correct base-bands are supported and enabled.

Yes, backups, whatever the device or situation should be taken.
With wise words, "next time" ...
Anyway,
In finland 2G and 3G use 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies.
I went into the baseband area of the engineer mode
All that there is is Adress (Hex): FF
Value (Hex): 0
Block size (dec): 1
Frankly, I have no idea what these mean and how I´m supposed to check wether the settings are ok for 900,1800 and 2100 MHz.
(Ps. The glass is rather fragile on the Sophone. I dropped it VERY lightly today while sitting, and I got a small fracture line both at the back and front cover.´)
I´m wondering if I could just buy a iPhone 4s front glass and replace that without complications this one.

The frequencies are in the BandMode menu

Heya,
Thanks again!
So is this
-the original IOS copy for sophone
-an upgraded IOS copy with better radio
-or another ICS with a possibly better radio image?
or did you perhaps upload this file so that I could extract the radio image and try flashing it? (In this one its named modem.img i think)
Also, If I want to back up my current rom with ROM Manager, which phone model should I choose?
( I have the ICS here now from your original post).

This is another ROM I found from a Russian website.
It is an IOS version and uses ICS
This ROM seemed to greatly improve my 2G/3G signal, and it still has a working Gogle Play store.
I suggest you do a backup with CWM before you flash this. Make sure you have a full charge before backing up as it took ages on my phone.
Let me know how it goes.
Oh, when it first booted it showed text in Russian but then rebooted into English.
Click the thanks button if it works for you.

Great to hear this ROM version improved your 2G/3G signal.
I backed up my rom and flashed this IOS copy ROM.
I´m happy to say that my 3G and Wifi reception improved as well!
The reception isn´t quiet the same still as on my Motorola Defy+ and I have to test it in rural areas, but so far so good.
Do you btw know if there is a possibility to use both this IOS mimic and and the Android ICS (for example boot into ICS) ?
Thanks again!
-----------------------
ps. The front glass digitizer has a different ribbon cable than Iphone 4s an the Goophone Y5.
Thus it seems almost impossible to change the front glass if you break it. There are no contact details available directly to sophone anywhere.
Gosh how annoying!
I´m pretty sure people who have bought the phone will eventually start dropping their devices and we really need to find a solution to get a replacement LCD & digitalizer/glass replacements for this phone!

I'm in a similar boat (bricked my device and somehow need to flash something to have the tablet boot). Can't we just use the firmware linked in the OP? It might not be the german version but I suppose we could still flash it and just change the language or something? Anyway, that's what I'm gonna try as soon as my SD card arrives.
Is it possible, to install the english OS on a "german" tablet?
Or encounter some problems?
English itself, shouldn't be the problem.
I was wondering whether I might get some helpt flashing the "Acer_AV041_A511_1.011.00_WW_GEN1". My Tablet has been bricked for some time because I (stupid as I am) tried to do a factory reset using the recovery provided by nikagl even though he specifically said that we were not to do that (I did read that warning but after a few weeks I just forgot about it :/).
Anyway, I've installed the cmw recovery by nothrills and tried to flash aforementioned firmware. I put it on an external SD card which has been formatted to FAT32. I went to the recovery menu and tried to flash the zip file. However, I got a getprop(product.name) error and the installation was aborted. After browsing the board a bit I found out that I have to delete the line starting with 'assert(getprop("ro.product.name")' which is located in META-INF\com\google\android\. But still, the tablet won't flash the firmware. It simply says "Installation aborted. Status 5 [or 6]".
I've also tried flashing the firmware by going back to stock recovery, renaming the firmware to update.zip and starting the tablet by holding the power and the minus button which is supposed to start the flashing process automatically. However, that just results in a red " ! " and an Android lying on its back.
I'd really appreciate it if someone was able to help me. (I've already sent the tablet to the Acer customer service who said that the installation of cmw recovery has damaged the motherboard. They say they will replace it for ~250€.)
Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it .
You have to edit line 1 of the updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android\
Delete this: in assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a510_emea_de");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is mostly what I did. Except I used winrar instead of 7zip. The first line of the updater-script was "assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a511_ww_gen1");" and I deleted it. When I then try to flash the file it says "E:Error in /external_sd/Acer_AV041_A511_1.011.00_WW_GEN1 - Copy.zip (Status 6)"
I also tried renaming the zip file first but the result was the same.
Edit:
As it turns out, the Status 6 error does only occur when I edit the updater-script file with wordpad. If I open it with the editor it works just fine. I was able to flash the firmware. However, the tablet then wouldn't do anything else then showing "Acer" on the screen for ever and ever and ever and ever :/.
In the case you installed a A510 ROM (without 3G) and can't flash back to the original A511 to be able to upgrade to JB and have a working 3G functionality, cause CWM vomits status 7 or 4 errors while flashing the offered .zip, try this way

[Q] Telsda T9555 china

Hi All/experts,
I bought this phone 2 months back after lot of rooting efforts finally was able to root it. However I think unknowingly I deleted some apps from /system/app while trying to cleanup unwanted applications. Now my phone does not show any cell connection(its a dual sim phone) does not even show the SIM signal bars on the top right corner. when I look at the phone information about baseband it reports "unknown". I tried using various phone.apk but non of them worked and I would like to know how I can solve this issue and make my phone alive. My phone boots properly , all other installed apps work, I get a wifi connection and can use Google Play.
Can someone help me by providing the rom dump for this phone or a APK dump for this phone? The phone shows that its running 4.0.4 however its a 2.3.6 base I believe.
Ok to even flash a custom rom as long as its sure to work
Again the model is Telsda T9555 and it has a mediatek MTK6515 processor with 256MB RAM and 256MB ROM.
Thanks

Hello,I found your post about rooting Telsda phone. I would like to ask You, how did You done it? I have Telsda T8520 bought in PRC last week, I'm trying to install Google Play subsystem, but to be honest I don't know how... Can You help me? Simply installing google play apk doesn't help. Phone seems to be rooted, but some things are still in chinese, not english, so I'm not quite sure. Explaining your rooting and google installing procedure might help me. Thanks in advance.

I have Telsda T8520 bought in PRC last week, I'm trying to install Google Play subsystem, but to be honest I don't know how... Can You help me? Simply installing google play apk doesn't help. Phone seems to be rooted, but some things are still in chinese, not english, so I'm not quite sure. Explaining your rooting and google installing procedure might help me. Thanks in advance.

to root the phone its simple, extract the boot image using mtkdroidtools and then decompile the image file. edit I think the build.prop and set ro.secure = 0 and ro.debugging =1 (I am no expert but this is what I did). repack the boot image and flash it back to the phone. Then use unlockroot and thats it you get your phone rooted.
However since your phone is rooted as you say, installing google play needs installing the below apk
1. GoogleServicesFramework-signed
2. OneTimeInitializer-signed
3. SetupWizard-signed
4. com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed
I have attached the zip here in case you want to give it a try. This worked for me, I dont guarantee it will work for you !!!
if I helped you ... can you provide me a full rom dump of your phone , I will try to flash it and since its the same manufacturer I hope it will work Right now I got my phone back from completly bricked by keeping the boot image and then flashing a system image from different phone. So my works for calls ,sms,gprs ...etc but fails on wifi and bluetooth.

thanks, but what driver for windows have you used? my mtkdroidstools still shows the device isnt revealed. I've tried lot of different drivers (even generic), without success so far.
your problem could be driver installation.... get usbdview and run it as admin. delete all mediatek related entries, reconnect the phone for flashing and then let the system do the installation of the drivers again. This is a very common issue with mediatek preloader Vcom drivers atleast as per my experience but I dont know if others too have faced this. when I have a problem I use the above porcess to make it work again.

I dont understand what you are trying to do . If you are trying to flash the phone then you need to run sp flash tools, remove the phone battery.. start the download or the readback in sp flash tool .. put the battery back into the phone and connect the phone to your computer. This way your Vcom drivers should get installed.
Again before doing all this its advisable to do delete the existing drivers on your PC using USBDview
There is a tutorial on how to use SP flash tools check it on the internet. As a suggestion to avoid any risk of messing your phone just do a readback instead of a download.
Goodluck !!! your phone , your risk if something above fails (-:

Official Shouyue Hero v6888 (mt6577) Stock European ROM 13052016

Stock rom with occidental google apps that cam with the 2nd gen of V6888 (The one with no logo and with the back you can remove from top right)
No Root, no Recovery, but no chinese apps: just for prople who wants to restore the phone to a clean stock rom then you can easily root and add recovery.
I had to ask a seller for it, Pandawill has only the old one with tons of china apps and no european market.
The archive contains drivers with explanation, SP Flash Tools and the folder with the rom itself.
You must use "download" function since BOOT ini will remain the older one.
Apparently this firmware saved even my camera that didn't work before.
Be careful and, anyhow, you can find the older stock rom from Pandawill easily.
Here is the UbuntuOne Link
Hero V6888.rar
Mediafire Mirror:
Hero_V6888.rar
Hello

Inside the rar you'll find the flash tool, just follow a tutorial to flash an MTK.
In a nutshell:
-open the SPFlashTool
-choose file->open scatter and select the scatter in the firmware folder (there is just one, you can't go wrong)
-connect the phone to the computer (Win only, sorry) without the battery, press Download, then Ok when he says boot.ini is missing
-insert the battery and the it will start flashing the firmware till you see a green circle.
Disconnect, boot, and here you are!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdUdHejJor4
here is a video of a full tutorial that consider even the driver setup, but you don't need it if you installed snappea or PDAnet , since the MTK driver are installed by those two software.
Or just google around for the MTK6577 drivers, maybe you can find them in a standalone installer.
If you have win 7/8 remember to allow the non signed driver installation (google is your friend here too...hehehe)
Thanks DioMOrgan
I have few questions:
Will this work on an already rooted phone? (more like do I have to skip any steps so as not to root it again?)
Does this install ENglish Play store (You mentioned Occidental but was not sure of which language it might contain)
WIl this also cure the satellite and GPS problmes reported elsewhwre?
Kindly guide me.
Thanks

Guys are Italian and I write a little bad English: I am in a serious fix, my V6888 is corrupted.
I followed the guide you provided, only that when I came out the inscription that is missing the BOOTIMG I have posted the file "uboot_bd86_77_emmc_v6888.bin" inside the folder of ROMS and I gave the OK. I have installed everything except that now the phone stops on initial Android logo and does not go ahead, it seems to go right. What can I do to recover? I tried to redo the flash without check of BOOTIMG, installed everything again but the phone does the same defect. How do I save it? Please help!!! Thank you all and have a nice day!!!

I solved it by installing Pandawull ROM first and then reinstalling this without BOOTIMG. Doing this everything was fine, now the phone works fine! Thanks all the same!!: Vittoria:

It deosnt allow me to go forward. I tried the volume down and power button and it just comes up with the factory page where you test the hardware and reboot.(Blue screen). Doesnt give me download OR recover options. Usually yellow/green.
Even the mtk 6577 drivers are difficult to load on WIndows XP sp3. (although it says downloaded successfully). When connecting this softbricked phone, nothing happens!
Any ideas and help please?
Thanks in advance

Hey Guys, finally cracked it. Had to do it in a WIndows 7 machine. Wa a bit of struggle getting all the drivers. Fially using the SP tools as suggested by Diomorgan, managed to flash the ROM and make the phone alive again.
Thank you very much Dimorgan for th time and patience in helping me/us. Really appreciated.
One question, which stock rom is this? Can I upgrade with another ROM? ANy tutorials?
Can I also upgrade to Jellybean? 4.1 or 4.2
Any suggestions ?
Thanks again.
ActuallyI don't know is coincity will port JB to the phone,but the hardware is pretty capable!

Root Lenovo S8 A7600 / A7600M Golden Warrior

Note: This Tutorial is for the Lenovo S8 A7600(M) MOBILE Only! Theres a Tablet named the same, dont get confused.
Warning: Your Warranty is void. I am not responsible for any kind of bricks or software failure! Only for MTK6752 ! And not for the same Numbered Tablet. this guide is for the Phone.
The Lenovo S8 7600 Golden Warrior is a very nice phone with some quite good specs. Only cons I could find was that it has none of community and tons of bloatware which is unremovable. Yet!
Lets root it, Guys.
You Need:
Model A7600 Only:
1.The Lenovo Firmware including Chinese TWRP which is provided here by me:
(Thats the only one i could find. If anyone is Brave enough to make an English Version and wants to upload it for this thread fell free to do it.)
Firmware:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3SzZWVElUeXpyekU/view?usp=sharing
English TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3azNMbGcxdXlNSDg/view?usp=sharing
Chinese TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bzt5QqUHjbg3TDl2X2FqS21BR00&authuser=0
Model A7600M:
Firmware:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3elY2SzA2S1c2REk/view?usp=sharing
TWRP Recovery(Chinese):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzt5QqUHjbg3aXRTMkFSczZoZWM/view?usp=sharing
2.SP Flash Tools. This will be Needed for flashing the Sock Rom Incl. Recovery. Version 5.13xxxx Minimum Requied.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/zx5m9mp3x5p413h/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1452.00.zip
3. The Meadiatek Driver(Explains itself i think)
http://d-h.st/1PN
4. The SuperSU.ZIP (Thanks Chainfire, we love you)
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
5.(optional) If you want to use the Google Apps i recommend Downloading the GApps Mini for 5.0 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/gapps-mini-t3089612
Now Lets get Started:
1. Unzip the Driver Package and Run the Exe. After Installation, restart you Computer. If using Windows 8, disable Signaure Driver Enforcement.
2. Turn Off you device. Open the SP Flash Tools Folder and run Flash_tool.exe as Administrator.
3. Now Unzip the VibeUI Firmware Package. In SP Flashtools klick on Scatter Load. Navigate to the VibeUI Folder and choose the MT6752_Android_scatter.txt.
Edt: Some People Including me had Problems with the Scatter File. However, If getting errors, try creating your own scatter file referring this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151251
4. Check if every Downloadfile exept the System is Checked, else you will get an error.
5.IMPORTANT: Go to settings, Download and CHECK the DA DL All with Checksum.
6. Klick on Download.
7. NOW the Tricky Part. Remove the Battery. Insert it again. Now leave the Phone Turned off and plug the USB Cable in, but holding the Volume UP button.
8. If you get a Red Bar and a Yellow followed by some grey in SP Flash tools you have done it right. If the Flash was successfully, you will get a green tick mark as passed.
9. Now unplug USB and take the battery out and pop it in again. Boot the Phone. Dont get shocked if it doesn't boot up fast, it usually takes about 6-8 Minutes. Be Patient!
10. If the Phone Boots up successfully, configure it and Connect it as a MTP Device on the Computer.
11. Now Copy the GApps.zip and the SuperSu.Zip to the Root of the Phone Memory.
12. Boot into Recovery (Holding VOL UP AND DOWN while turning the Phone on) and flash the two Zips. Its in Chinese but you will
only need to flash it once. Flash Zip is the Upper Left Button. Choose your GappsZip and use the Back Button to get to the main Screen. Now flash the SuperSA.zip.
13.Reboot. If you dont know how to just take off the battery ( Its quite risky so better try using the Buttons. The Layout is the same as in the English Version)
Finished!Now your Device is Rooted and got the Gapps on it. Download Titanium Backup and remove the Chinese Crap Bloatware. You are now the Master of your Device. I would be really happy about Donations, since It was very Hard to get Hands on these Roms and Recoverys.
INFO: Some People Complained about the lost IMEI, Thank you Soyer88 for the fix! Sorry that I was away for too long, I got my finals.
Soyer88 said:
For those of you who lost the IMEI address on this phone, or ANY other, here is simple guide witch solved my problem:
1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/file/aNRAdrvgba/sn_gen.html , or search sn_gen.exe (Dont worry, the program is not translated that isn't a problem)
2. In the ??IMEI 1 field write your original imei address (behind the battery)
3. Click on ??MP0B_001?? - It will create a file on your desktop named MP0B_001.
4. Copy the file in your phone, Install Root Explorer, send the file in data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and change the permission of the file (check all boxes)
5. Restart the phone.
Thats it ! This phone is very tricky to flash (or recover) , because of the chipset.. its very rare
I had a lot of problems to fix it, You have to use the right version of Sp flash tool !!!
Here is a russian forum with ALL the custom ROM's (including the official chinese) and support for this phone - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=657464 it helped me a lot!

Hey
Could someone tell me what to do? I flashed a rom and recovery via Sp Tool (not from this guide) on my S8 A7600. It was a custom rom with removed bloatware I found on a Russian site (google translate).
Now I find that my baseband is unknown and no IMEI's either. I didn't notice this in the beginning though, I did root the phone first and cleaned up even further with Titanium Backup, including the default phone and
contact apps.
Don't know if this could have had an impact or not, but my impression is that it has to do with modem driver, which might be a different one (it seems the custom rom was built from chinese rom). Both scatter files (rom and recovery) does not seem to touch the nvram area, although this mtk flashing stuff is completely new to me.
Have any tips? This chipset is new for IMEI repair, so is unsupported from what I gather.
I flashed another rom I found and the IMEI came back, hurray :laugh:
Good to know its not some permanent lame fault the mtk engineers would have missed (unlikely). Well now back to customizing romz, the default lenovo rom is far from what I consider usable.

Actually I think I said that wrong. I am now using this rom: VIBEUI_V2.5_ _USR_ST1524_5.1460.1_1506111858_MP6V3_CU_CN_otafull
This is the latest official stock rom directly from Lenovo. I was referring to one of the rom's that's flashed by those shabby vendors, full of adware, malware and viruses.
I was not aware of this situation as this is my first china phone.
To Op: No I did not use your Rom. I've tried a few others and the *Real* stock ota rom from lenovo was the best for me, also the latest stable build. I found it here btw: lenovo-forums.ru(can't post full link)
Also I'm looking for this: A7600_TWRP2.8.7.0_2015-07-18.7z <--- This is the only recovery I've found that has english language. It was posted on 4pda.ru but link is down. Also seen it on those chinese sites, but requires account to download.

My Suggestion would be: Download and try my Rom and Recovery. Then download SuperSu/.Zip and try to flash it via Chinese TWRP which i am providing. you can locate the buttons from any other TWRP, even from other phones. If done, you could et root uininstaller and remove the crappy bloatware like i did. then install gapps

I already have chinese TWRP, and I'm rooted. The rom I'm using also does not have any insidious bloatware, except a few chinese apps that don't even require root to remove. Besides I seem to remember the system.img file in your rom was corrupt, tried to download several times.
Just saw this at 4pda.ru:
Port of K3 Note VIBE 2.8 1530 A7600 5.1】 【07/15/25
Download: yadi.sk/d/ULLundAAi5dk6
Will upload the File again, sorry to hear that.
where do you download the latest firmware?this phone doesn t have ota?no need to use flash tool if it s the case..you can root it easily with an apk
so i don t understand you manip
Mine was really hard to root, none of Kinroot or any other tool/app worked.
so could you say use what did you use for rooting it?
i just to order one so i would like to erase all chinese apk
are you happy with this phone?
Like I said, the Rom provided here is Pre Rooted and has TWRP included. With twrp you can root any rom, but seems like the file is corrupt so ill have to upload it again as soon as i get home

it s what i have bought
but the soc is not the same describe in the first page..do you have the same?
New full firmware package available: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YU2xxZ3d4T0V5WjA
VIBEUI_V2.5_1532_5.1797.1_ST_A7600_CU
I got this as ota update yesterday, on official lenovo rom. Btw, this needs to be flashed with stock recovery (rename file as "update.zip")
Actually, you can flash it with TWRP/custom recovery, just tried it
Also, you should flash Gapps after the initial boot and setup, or it may cause problems.
Here is also the TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery with English language: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5Lqys5p5m_YR0VfSXFPZ0RIZEk
The new firmware is good. So far I've noticed it has solved a big bug with launcher. Previously I could not use widgets with 3rd party launcher (settings fc), now I can.
The launcher bug is still present, but not with Google Now Launcher when flashed with gapps.
PS: Is it ok for me to post this here? Perhaps better to make new thread?
Aosp rom
I found what seems to be a recent AOSP based rom: A7600-ZP-15.08.06.zip
Though only so far seen it on Chinese sites, like this: http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1393301215&shareid=1110457716&third=0
Don't think I will bother getting account for that, but just letting you know.
Man thank you! If you could download this and pack it in one zip, upload it on your google drive and test it again we could privide yours! Because i sold mine so i cajt test it. Else im still ready to upload it

totally bricked? Alcatel Pixi 3 (8) WiFi - model 8070

Hello. This Alcatel Pixi 3 tablet was meant as a gift add-on to an Orange (PL) LG G4c / Spirit LTE phone.
What is really weird is that there is no such model on Alcatel's website. It seems that this version was very unpopular.
It came with Lollipop 5.0.1 onboard. On boot screen it says ALCATEL onetouch Pixi3(8). on the back there is a sticker with Model: 8070 and some other numbers, but the thing is:
I was simply being an impatient one and i wanted to have this white boy rooted so i installed newest KingRoot. And it worked!
But then I've seen there's an app that does the magic and replaces kinguser with supersu. And it was called 'SuperSU Me', kind of.
Unfortunately it must have been a very old version (i tried the newest on my phone and it comes in two stages so it's different). After using it i don't remember if I ran su binary update but i think i did and then reboot. And of course it all went wrong after that.
It was stuck at the Alcatel boot animation, repeating itself endlessly. And instead of looking for solution i did something else. I went to the bootloader mode (vol+ and power) which lets you go into recovery or fastboot and i went to recovery. Where it actually says Android system recovery <3e> with additional line saying LRX21M and options apply update from ADB, sdcard, cache and some others.
So here's what I did: at first I wiped cache partition and then I wiped data ('wipe data/factory reset'). And this is mess.
There is no Alcatel animation, no more. Now it won't go further than this boot screen and it would just display this ALCATEL onetouch Pixi3(8) logo until it runs out of battery power. So i guess, that's my first bricked device for being naughty and too greedy to have some rooted stuff happening.
Please, is there any hope? Help?
Same Problem with Alcatel Pixi 3 (10) Model:8079!!!!
You might be able to restore ROM using Mobile upgrade tool from Alcatel. Or you can flash it with phone flash tool.
Hi @dam85 I found and downloaded "Mobile Upgrade S" tool from Alcatel's server directly (v4.2.8) but I cannot make the tool detect this Pixi 8070 model. The main Alcatel site doesn't have this model, so I got their tool from the Pixi 3 (8) 3G page. However, not sure what is missing as there seems to be a driver needed for the Alcatel tool to detect the table. Any idea? This 8070 model apparently uses quad-core MediaTek MT8127 processor.
I have purchased this device from a local shop, not via operator. Model is "TCL" and "8070" in the menus.
@Bethain: I had a friend who had to wipe and re-install the ROM on an Alcatel D5 phone, due to some boot loop like yours; and he was able to do that using the Alcatel Upgrade tool. Please try this and let us know how you did it and more importantly, which drivers you used on Windows! Thanks and good luck.

It's true that this model is buried for some weird reason. You can't find anything specific for this model (pixi 3 (8) wifi), only for the 3g edition that is totally different hardware if I remember correctly.
I can suggest another option. I've managed to read back the stock rom from mine. I could send it to you and you can try to flash it with SP flash tool. If you're interested, pm me and I'll guide you.
Hi @dam85 thank you for posting back, it's great to hear that someone managed to work on this.
For the sake of information with others, can you kindly share info on the tools, versions (and if not asking too much, links here in XDA) that you used to extract the ROM? There's tonns of crap on the internet and some confusing driver versions found here, too...
I was battling with MtkDroid Tools 2.5.3 but I think I've installed the wrong VCOM driver, not sure if it supports the device (MT8127 processor) or perhaps I am doing something wrong.
The official Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S (v4.2.8 that I've installed) has a generic "One Touch Pixi 8" entry as you can see in the screen shot but I get some error when trying to connect my device. This is supposed to allow a download of an image to re-flash Alcatel devices... Perhaps this tool isn't compatible, as you say.
I have contacted Alcatel asking for support....
I haven't rooted nor I want to mess with that. Just wanted to make a safe backup of the current ROM. When I entered (official) the Recovery menu of the device (POWER + VOLup) there wasn't any entry in the options to "dump" the ROM on the SD, unfortunately.

I'll post a mini guide later on how I did it. Also, I'd like to see a user with a bricked pixi to try and flash back the ROM to see if it can be revived!

Yeap. I tried this one too, with vcom drivers up and running, but nothing happened. Maybe we'll have to wait for an update.

Just to make it clear. There is no way to dumb the rom with droid tools or sp flash tool without root. The most easy and safe way to root this tablet is with Kingroot v4.5. It's safe to use because there is an option for unroot inside the app (I've done it several times, it works flawlessly).
I am having the same exact issue and followed the same steps as you to get into this mess! Only difference is i am on a onetouch Pixi 7 i got from tmobile for free. Were you ever able to flash it back to stock and can you tell me how you did it if you were successful?

Hi @waldosdad I suggest you try obtaining the official Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S software from their site, this will hopefully download and restore your device. Please kindly post details on your model, CPU, which drivers you eventually managed to make work, on which Windows, etc.

There's no ROM available for flashing except whatever backups private people do... Haven't found custom recovery either... I personally haven't rooted my Pixi 3 (8) to avoid that exact issue...
IMPORTANT EDIT:
I was browsing through the downloads section of Alcatel One Touch and found that for some reason, they have released more versions of the same "Mobile Upgrade S" for some other devices, rather than keeping a unified version across all platforms/tablets/products.
For example, found versions v4.3.0, or v4.4.1 in other devices, which could imply "newer" database or detection, inside Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S. As @dam85 told me, there may need to be a newer version of this proggie to detect Pixi 3 (8) -- will try it soon...
Hi guys i have the same tablet but i'm having problems rooting it. Tried many differnet apk's with no luck. @dam85 how you managed to root it?

Καλησπέρα @spithash, I suggest you try backing up your ROM now that you've rooted it, as @dam85 did already, as there's no ROM available for flashing back in case of bricking... I personally haven't rooted yet. If you manage to install proper Windows drivers etc. please let us know what you used i.e. SP Flash Tool, Mtk Droid Tools etc. Thanks!

So, i made a backup using MTK Droid Tools.
Is there a known way to flash a custom recovery on this device?
If i hit Recovery and Boot button in MTK Droid Tools it gives me this error: ERROR :Not read Block: bootimg
Yes

You can flash it with SP flash tool. Read all my post first and then act.
Open the app, hit "scatter-loading" button, choose your droid tool-creater scatter file with the name of the cpu mt8127 (make sure you have the exctracted rom backup with it), then wait a few secs till the app done loading the files, check if the check boxes are checked and loaded with the appropriate image files as shown in the image.
Leave any unchecked box as is. Make sure to rename factory_NONmodified_recovery.img to recovery.img before doing the above process, or else the program won't load it automatically.
Then, press the green download arrow and connect the device switched off and the process will start automatically.
I can't guarantee the success of the process because I haven't try it yet, but I know that this process is correct for this type of devices.
So, you can take the risk if you want (if it's bricked already, you won't have anything to lose I guess) and you can give as feedback.

Edit the config file, remove every other mt entries and add the 8127 and try again
I've attached mine, if you want to use it.

i managed to create a scatter file from the firmware.info from backup using MTK Rom Studio but it doesn't seem right:
Edit: It gives me the same scatter file if i add the 8127.
