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 had battery issues with my Micromax funbook & at the service center they changed my motherboard(after taking about 2 months ). i didn't realized to make a backup of the new firmware they provided as i thought i already have previous original backed up, hence when i install any custom firmware rom & even my old original firmware back, i can't get G-Sensor to work. So i decided to be brave & opened the tablet cover, here i found out that the new mother board is "inet-97f rev03 zgc 2012-06-15" while earlier was of Rev02. i have attached a picture below too ..
Can some one help me how can i get the G-sensor to work again ?? Please help .... i dont think i have warranty anymore as i opened up the tablet & even i dont have the original software so
Please any help would be highly appreciated !!!!!!
there is a solution

Hello everyone, I have a serious problem with my tabled. Last night I wanted to install a custom rom. After all the research I have done , I found several custom roms for Onda V812 but nowhere was writing Allview 2 speed quad. Anyway, after installing the custom rom everything went perfectly fine untill i powered back on the tablet. The touchscreen does not work whatsoever. I have no idea what to do. My sister has the same tablet and I am currently doing a cwm backup , but I don't know how to flash the files back on my device without adb .. I use Pheonix Suit but apparently I can't flash CWM images.. I really need some help. Thanks :3

Hey,
I had exactly the same problem a few months ago. And after lenghtly discussions with their support, I managed to convince them to send me the factory image.
If you still have that problem, I can upload it for you tomorrow.
Btw, I also thought it was a V812 rebrand, but it isn't. The 2 speed Quad has an A31s, not an A31. I disassembled it to find that out.

well, I was searching too for an original firmware for this tablet.. last month I bricked mine too when I tried to install a Custom Onda v801s firmware, but I gave it to warranty.
Anyway, Thank you for uploading it :good: .
OFF: (Ro)
Apropoo, acum ca putem sa reparam tableta de fiecare data cand o stricam, a-ti gasit pana acum un rom cu android kitkat (4.4.2) pentu ea?
Din incercarile mele de luna trecuta, imi mergea touchscreen-ul doar de la un soft de Onda v801s V5, desi.. culorile se vedeau sacadat, in nuante inversate, oricum.. restul functiilor precum camera frontala (fara cea din spate), wifi-ul si conectarea usb-ului (mouse+tastatura) functionau.
Poate poate, exista o speranta :angel: .
hello.i have a problem with a tablet allview 2 speed quad , i tried to change the firmware with 4.4.2 kit for onda v812 ,but same problem touch not work.i instaled the softwer of b3nn0 but wifi not always work.download start after 5-10minutes.apps block ( screen remains black and blocked when start) on stand by , screen comes on alone , root not work ..how can i fix it? please help
Hey,
No idea how to fix it.
Wifi never worked when the screen was off for me. Not even when the device was new, so I considered it to be normal. You sure that this worked for you before?
The screen should usually not come on alone. It should do so only during charging (turns on when you plug it in, turns on when the battery is full) but usually it shouldn't.
Never tried to root the device. But when I use adb on it, I get a root shell, so it is somehow rooted by default. But apps can't get root, it seems.

Problem with my Allview Speed 2 quad tablet
Heloo all,
I have a serious problem with my allview speed 2 quad tablet.After a restart my tablet always opened in recovery mode but in that menu i couldn't move down or up because the touchscreen seems that it doesn't answer to touch.I try different software and flash them with PhoenixSuit but until now i didn't find the right one.I try the original firmware(Allview2_M809Q5_20130903) from this thread but after i flash it the tablet open the software and the aplication but the touch doesn't respond to command.
I tryed all version of Onda v812 software:
-V812Core4_v1.35
-V812Core4-V1_v2.0
-V812Core4-V5_v2.0
-V812Core4-V5_v1.35,but in all those version the camera and the wifi motherboard isn t recognized by the Onda software so i can't use camera and WIFI.
Anyone can help me with a original software for this tablet or a modify image firmware that works on this tablet?
Strange. I had all these problems, too, when using the Onda firmwares. I tried all of them aswell.
At some point I just gave up and flashed the stock firmware posted above and everything worked again. No idea why it doesn't work for you...

can you make me a backup image after your tablet now and send me again?
I thought about something, what if we combine an onda rom which doesn't have a working Wifi/Camera but a working touchscreen (like V812Core4-V1_v2.0); with the original stock rom of this tablet (Allview2_M809Q5_20130903) ? Then we will finally have a good rom that is working on our Allview 2 speed quad.
So, as far as I watched tutorials, to have this custom rom of ours we will need to extract the softwares img files (both V812Core4-V1_v2.0.img and Allview2_M809Q5_20130903.img) into 2 folders (each one that will contain the System.img, Boot.img, Recovery.img ..etc); then we should replace the boot.img from the stock software (the folder obtained from Allview2_M809Q5_20130903.img) into the Onda's software (the folder from V812Core4-V1_v2.0.img); aaand then repack our Onda's modified software (or, let's say Our custom rom) into a new img that will be flashed with Phoenix.
The Boot.img that will be replaced contains the Wifi "drivers", so in this case the Wifi will work (I think...).
Also there are tutorials on youtube on how to do that. (eg "[HOW-TO] Create, Unpack and Repack update.img ROM on Windows ").
Now I just need an expert on android to tell me if what I said is possible... or... we will remain with our stock, laggy, disastrous firmware/rom from Allview.
Thanks a lot. It's like a new tablet

Hello everyone.
I have an Alcatel One Touch 908F running Android 2.2.2 that I chose to root and install a 2.3 ROM since no official update was released and it had a lot of advantages that I really need. I successfully rooted it with VROOT, install a CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery and flashed two custom ROMs based on 2.2.2 (the one for Alcatel One Touch 908S WIND, and the one for Alcatel One Touch 908Q T-Mobile) just for testing.
Both successfully worked with no problems at all (except the fact that Back, Home and Menu changed their places but it was fixed by flashing a tool that I found on this forum - Thank you so much, developers!) so I wanted to flash a 2.3 ROM, but I didn't realize that it wasn't approprite (It was only for Alcatel One Touch Telenor, and the worst: it wasn't told in the instructions!). I knew it when, once my phone booted for the 1st time, it showed the "Telenor" logo reversed on top, and white lines at the bottom of the screen. So I reverted back to my stock ROM using a backup made with CWM.
I got the stock ROM again. Only now, neither the touchscreen nor the lighting Home, Menu and Back keys are working! Hitting the screen acts like hitting the Menu button!
I tried many ROMs, and it didn't work. Well, the good thing is that I still have root access, USB debugging enabled and CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery.
I'm really desperate. My phone is out of warranty. Is my phone really as useful as a brick, now? I hope it isn't. Can you help me, please? I urgently need my phone to work again because I can't afford to buy a new one or repair it! Is there any software that can bring my only smartphone back to life? Shall I switch to TWRP recovery? Which ROM shall I flash?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
UP... (Since there was no reply for so long...)
I see, it is not a popular model
I found out that the problem can be solved by flashing the stock kernel which contains the original touchscreen drivers needed to make it work again, but I couldn't find the file. Can anyone upload it for me, please? If this is not the right way,
Does anyone have another, please? Thank you!

Flash everything ( including ROM , boot.img etc. ) created for your device . It will solve the problem .
As a warning, don't flash other device's firmware , until you became a porter or using an Android one :sly:
Hope I helped !

OP hasn't been online since 2015 so provably yes
Hi all,
First of all: i am new here. And sorry for my bad English.
I have here a Voyo Q901HD with a new digitizer. Everything works fine but there is one problem. The whole touchscreen is inverted... I have tried everything... Change the system.prop, searching for flash again (but there is no firmware to found), reboot, reset.. But nothing helps...
More information about the Voyo Q901HD can you find here: http:*//*en*myvoyo.com*/chanpin*/pingban*/336.shtml or www*gearbest.com*/tablet-pcs/*pp_266237.html [remove the wildcards]
There is no defective with the digitizer: it works perfect and smooth but only in the wrong direction. There should be a possibility to change it correctly in a configuration file? I hope someone can help!
Thanx for helping and kind regards
Also the 'script.bin' is no option! Is not found on the tablet...
Ok, the problem is now totaly different. I tried to install a custom mod what maybe can fix the problem. I have WDM recovery installed. I have yet CWM recovery installed. The only thing that works... When i try to install a custom mod i receive error 7. But when i recovery my original image where i have make a backup from it does also not work... The backup maked with Smartphone Flashtool and MTK Droid Tool hangs on a sometimes flashing ANDROID logo on the screen... I use the Scatter file inside the image.
Hi @haajee86
I have that same Tablet that died on me !
the tablet is on a logo bootloop and there is no info or download tools for this 4G version of the tablet on VOYO site
So i would like to ask you if you are able to send me the stock rom ? or extract it from your tablet ?
i really appreciate it.
Thanks
Yes you can extract rom from tablet using MTK droid tools,then upload to needrom.com and i can modify parameter for you.
