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!

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.

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 (-:

hi, first time poster here.
i have searched exhaustively on this site and google for hours but, couldn't find an answer to my question. desperately in need of some help please
i recently purchased a Jiayu G3 and installed JellyBean. turns out Wi-fi and bluetooth now don't work due to incompatibility of my older version phone model. i found an alternative rom to install on the forum here with instructions but, i am having a problem...
apparently i need to install mobileuncle MKT tools so i can do recovery update and use clockwork mod (CWM) to install the new rom.
problem is i can't download mobileuncle tools. my wi-fi isn't working and i cant download it via my mobile network. i get error 927 when i try to download it via the play store. this could be due to a really poor connection speed, for some reason. after 10 minutes of trying to download the 1.02mb file it eventually fails.
would it be possible to download the mobileuncle tools via my laptop and then put it on my phone on my SD card? i havent been able to find anywhere to download it online and then i am not sure where or which folder i would put it in. if this works, does anyone know please?
or perhaps there is another way i can install a rom? to be honest i would be quite happy to just restore the stock ICS. i just want to start using my new phone...
thanks in advance :good:
hi, just to provide an update, i have managed to install mobileuncle tools but the flash recovery does not work
i have been following the instructions from here
watch?v=yuXdOjXQwGo[/url] (i can't post links yet according to forum rules but that is a youtube link)
instead when i reboot in recovery mode i just get the picture of the little android guy on his back with his front open and an exclamation mark displayed.
i know this is tedious, but please, any help would be great. i'm stuck
i tried following the instructions on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163707
i managed to do it all or so i thought. after unzipping the rom i restarted the phone but it gets stuck on a CyanogenMod logo. after half an hour of the loading ring going round i don't get any where. i have tried doing it in safe mode but same problem
please someone, help
taking to myself here
well I have managed to get past the screen. however, the rom i used does not work still does not allow the wifi and bluetooth to work.
does anyone know where i can download the original ICS stock rom for the Jiayu G3?
Hello people!
I haven't been to XDA for a while since my XPeria T has done a nice job for me, but lately it's starting to show how old it got, not because apps got newer or required more resources, but it started switching keyboard to Chinese without letting me switch back, I can't answer when my phone is ringing, blue screen flashes on YT app etc.
These are just some of the problems I encountered, but I won't bug you with the details as I gave Sony a nice amount of rage on their FB site for releasing damaged software to not-so-expensive phones and leaving them that way...
Before I had HTC WFS, and my friend rooted it for me, so I am still kinda new in this, and if anyone could briefly describe step by step process of installing custom ROM with root I would be very grateful.
The reason I'm asking this is because I'm afraid I'm gonna brick it if I do it on my own, I've done the easy part (downloading SDK and fastboot driver), now I have to install it, find a nice ROM I have, but I still need to install CWM and before I've had some problems (because of the firmware I think, when tried installing 4.4.4 on WFS it couldn't after 4.4.2).
Also, is there any way to back my original software up in case everything goes downhill I can just roll it back, continue complaining how I have a ****ty phone and be satisfied with it anyway?
So, just to be clear, my knowledge of Linux systems isn't great, at least not to experiment on my own (ironic as I'm programming in Python) so if anyone could make it look like this:
1. Do this
2. Do this (in case it fails, do this)
3. Then do this
Done!
I would be forever grateful!
Thanks maties! (sorry if the question is too simple, I've tried gathering information from "xperia t development" thread, but there's so many things and I don't understand what half of them do, I requested to unlock bootloader from Sony and I'll try to do this on my own )
EDIT: We're talking about GSM Xperia T (Croatia, Europe) in case anyone needs that info!
Okay, I think I've successfully unlocked the bootloader since I got this text in CMD after a long headache of installing fastboot drivers because win10 (as windows 8) has to have disabled option for preventing unsignatured driver installation or something.
So I got this text: ...
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
OKAY [ 0.422s]
finished. total time: 0.422s
So now I'm going to try and install CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657190
Not because it's touch, but because it's the last version of CWM posted on Xperia T subforum so I'm hoping I'll be able to install those 4.4.4 ROMS
EDIT: It seems I need to root my phone before doing it, so I'll try to do that before I install CWM
Okay, now I'm stuck (thanks God it's not fatal)
As I'm trying to install CWM to my phone and it's not rooted, I first tried a method above, but .bat file gets stucked @ Daemon started successfully.
So, I decided to give flashtool a shot, installed all the drivers, when I connect the phone everything seems normal, then when I click on root (SuperUser and SuperSU) a little program appears on my XPeria and when I click "make it ra1n" the phone reboots.
Debugging enabled, unknown apps (or similar) enables, fake locations enabled.
Darn.
I'm out...spent whole day packing my old FW downloading other one etc. to find out it's the newer one, I didn't pay attention to number before last one...
If anyone could tell me which version is rootable, I'd be grateful, I don't want to give up yet...
EDIT: Never mind, found everything, I think puzzles are finally coming into places...
I've been using Gnabo v_7 version for quite a long time, and a very simple and beautiful day when I woke up my Samsung GT-N8000 was stuck on bootscreen. I wasn't able to do much so I got this "Brazil stock rom" that I found in a website, and it flashed all right, except for the detail that there is something at the screen that I haven't got a bloody clue how to remove. hahaha
And still, whenever I try to install another room, I got stuck at bootlogo and so on. I'm kinda lost here, mind a little help?
I traveled around the forum but well, I'm a little dumb so I couldn't find any proper information about, how to solve this. I would like to know if there is a way to remove this thing from the main screen, and post here the image for you guys to see it please.
I tried to post the image here to make it easier understanding, but since I got this login recently I can't =\
Thanks
Install custom recovery (if you haven't already. If you already have it installed, make sure to update to latest version), root device, wipe everything and flash custom ROM.

So far I've tried the rom = N8000XXUDNE4 [still bootloop], then another 4.1 android version of other German rom XXALGA and nothing. Downloaded 3 Brazilian versions, and nothing. [I am from Brazil]. The only one that worked flashing using Odin was one called "KIES_HOME_N8000UBALGA_N8000ZTOALG3_N8000UBLG5.tar". And still, not recognizing my cellphone chip, and with some big watermark at the middle of the screen showing some information about the ROM and the version is 4.0. Even though this one worked fine, I was able to root and when I tried to flash another room, BANG! Bootloop again! =\
I was looking at the forum topics and I read some about ADB or something like that can fix this and "break" this bootloop making the device work normally again with the roms. But i haven't got a clue how to use it. Please help me! =\

You can use ADB to push/pull files to Android. I don't know if you can use it to fix bootloop. With it, you can also reboot to recovery and sideload zip

Well, after 2 days of research and paying attention on things here, I found out that my problem is "/EFS error". Meaning to use ADB to recover or fix it? But I don't know how to use this. I've downloaded 3GB of it but I was lost about using, and uninstalled. Is is there any short or better version and some good tutorial about using to retrieve my EFS so I can install another roms? I'm using original stock rom now, Brazilian android 4.0 and that's the only only the device is working fine but of course missing things as my cellphone card and the yellow message at the top of the screen. Please guide me through ADB.
P.s Is there a way to create /efs or something like so the device work properly? Cause I've deleted when I installed some rom, and I have no backup here. =\
Thanks!

Here is tutorial about how to install ADB and Fastboot drivers and use them. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use it to restore efs. Sorry.
hopefully this will help out some people and the developers to make,fix,restore a not so popular phone. I did a total firmware dump and have uploaded to my 4shared folder. If anyone is interested or can tell me how to upload it here for developing i will be more than happy to share with those in need. I also have a spare phone that i would be willing to test anything made from the firmware dump i created.
PLEASE link?
Some time after rooting my Optimus Zone 3 VS425PP, I got locked into a boot loop. There are no custom ROM's, neither recovery nor OS. It's not bricked. Yet, anyway. The loading screen functions, then a little window that says "OPTIMIZING APPS 1 OF 5, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY..." appears. I've seen this before, but now, upon reaching "APP 5 OF 5," it reboots and repeats. I've tried several factory resets via the LG RECOVERY (MODIFIED,) as well as safe mode to no avail. Anyone? Anything? Help? The only recourse I can think of would be to re-flash the stock ROM, which I cannot find. Anywhere. Thanks, guys.
i tried contacting judthro for the same file; no luck

Unfortunately, I don't think this file is actually out there. I have REALLY been looking, even contacted the LG Development team. The LG Support Tool, etc. are not going to help you yet as they do not have the firmware on their servers yet. That's why the LG Support Tool will freeze when trying to do an Update Recovery on this phone. -- And I've tried them all: LG Mobile Support Tool, LG PC Suite, Verizon VS425PP Update Tool (from the mounted drive on the phone), LG Flash Tool 2014 to force different KDZ files. All provide nothing. All dead ends. The Optimus won't grab a COM unless it is the right signed firmware for the phone. You'll just sit there in Download Mode or in Debug mode forever with no result. We have to wait for the first update from LG from version VS425PP1 to whatever comes next so they have something to stick on their server. But...if you find something before then, please let me know! The update will eventually be released to the public. It'll probably just take a year or so.
Good thing is Wal-Mart sells these for under $12 (yes, that's right). I picked up seven of these quad-core bad boys at that deal. Just bugs the hell out of me I can't fix the one I over rooted.
this *might* be promising...

well i'll be. this may be a promising link:
google "4share lgvs425pp" and scroll down to the 4shared link. There is a 999MB RAR file claiming to be the VS425PP ROM dump. I'm downloading it now...checking it out.

hopefully the op will chime in for insight. The 999MB isn't much good. It appears to be a RAR dump of all the partitions, perhaps made from a lglaf.py script while in download. Nevertheless, i havent found any way yet to push the firmware dump onto the phone.
I've had no luck, either.

Meanwhile, as my LG cycles endlessly through my really cool "Jolly Roger" boot animation, I stumbled across a Kyocera Hydro Wave at Walmart for $20. I snapped it up to replace the LG Optimus Zone 3. I had big plans to root it, too., but I should've researched it first. The specs are great... but one check on Cyanogen's website probably would've saved me some trouble. Not one Kyocera device is listed there. XDA thread also throws red flags-no one can get root to stick. Well, I at least learned a lesson. Next time, I plan to purposefully buy a phone that can be rooted, has been rooted, has instructions online to do so, AND has at least one custom ROM available! No wonder this thing was $20! Keep us all posted if you stumble across a bootloop fix of some kind, and I'll do the same.
here is stock recovery for this device https://www.dropbox.com/home/Apps/Flashify/VS425PP/recovery
matt4787!
Either I am unable to open that link from an Android device OR the link given is to an unshared folder? It just asks me to log in and then says 'that folder does not exist in your DropBox...' PLEASE check out the SHARE link from within your DropBox and maybe share a new folder (and drop the stock ROM in there, along with what you might've used to flash it maybe?) We'd be very grateful!

To all who have a bricked,phone this phone has an update. Download the LG software assistant and put assistant in repair mode then boot phone normally and wait a bit. Run the repair assistant and let it run. Hopefully if everything runs well as it did me. Mine is restored and running.
Just ordered one. Is there root for this phone? Unlocked bootloader or forgetaboutit?
I rooted this phone and then tried to de-bloat, but I must have deleted too much. Now when I boot all I get is "Security Error - Authentication Fail #9"
I can get to Download mode, but none of the recovery programs recognize the phone. I installed the drivers, but still nothing. Is there anything I can do?

was your phone in a "security error" loop? for some reason the software assistant won't recognize my phone. it'll identify a plugged in phone when I connect it in download mode, but the device model never shows up

i forgot to mention that you have to be in download mode to make the assistant recognize the phone. plus make sure the drivers for the phone are installed on your pc
