[HELP] Looking for Stock Rom for Alcatel OT-983

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.

Here is my o2 uk backup rom: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/C4VEKHEI/OT-983_backup_uk.rar_links
this .zip file contains the boot.img, system.img and recovery.img
Someone needs to create a clockwork mod recovery for our phones now.

here is the sourcecode for this phone: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/85KDRTYP/OT_983_20130103.7z_links

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!

[Q] K-Touch Hornet II V9

Hello dear XDA-developers,
I am thinking of buying a new phone, so i came across this phone called the "K-Touch Hornet II V9", it is a Chinees phone. and I couldn't find it on xda-developers.com.
So I was wondering if it is possible to have a Custom Rom installed on it.
Maybe to create my own Custom Rom with this toolbox:http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...stallation-with-android-ultimate-toolbox-pro/
I have a technical background so I guess this should be manageable for me to understand.
Anyways hope to get some reactions on this topic.
Cheers, and many thnxs in advanced,
DesireDroid
Ps.: I currently have a HTC Desire (classic) and rooted that one. and installed some custom roms on it. like the Leedroid custom rom:

Hello,
I am interesting in your request because i have the same device.
Could you tell me if you found anything about an alternative ROM for the "K-Touch Hornet II V9" ?
Regards

ROM found
I've found a ROM (Cyanogen 10.1) at the following web site (i can't post a link due to my too young status) : needrom (add www end dot com )
Then add the following path : /mobile/k-touch-v9-2/

Succelfully ROOT K-Touch V9
Hi, las nigth I rooted the Phone whis this tool www . srsroot.com
I have selected the First Root method.
and the program tried to root the phone whith several different tools, and in the process make the phone reboot several times...
In the final steps i was very nervous becouse the phone was rebooting in a loop like half and hour... The Root program in my PC were telling me to wait 1 minute after the phone boot and press ok in the win window after that.
1 time the phone stop looping the boot, so then i tried to unlock the screen to check... but once i didt it, the phone starts to reboot in a loop again.
So, the next time i saw the phone boot ok, i didnt unlock the screnn. I just wait ti finish the boot and press the ok button in my PC.
An then the root program tells me that the root its OK!! The program finished intalling the Superuser.apk... And thats all...
I download Root Checker.apk and verify the succes root after agree to the Superuser App to allow root privileges to the aplication...
I rebooted again the phone and I checked that the root in permanet..
So, by now is how far a can go...
Now I need to intall the CMW 6.0.1.1 to finally Flash a ROM in Spanish and after that intall Gapps from Google...
The same program that root the phone, can make it reboot in recovery mode whit CWM 6.0.1 but in chinese, anyway helping me whit another phone whit the same recovery in English i can go on whit the program and made a Backup of the rooted phone... but i think i am not safe this way flashing a new rom becouse if something go wrong i cannot boot again this mode if i dont boot the phone first in the normal way...
Could anybody help me whit that?
I almost forget, my version of android of my Ktouch V9 is 4.0 and with CN/EN Languages
I hope i did will be helpfull
Bye!
Guillermo

I found k touch stock and custom rom on http://www.ndroidzone.com/

[Q] Rooting an LG Venice

Before anyone tells me to use the search, I already did. There is no forum for my phone specifically, and what few posts I have found that even remotely relate to my issue have been dead for over 3 months and I was not sure how you felt about resurrecting them.
Phone info: LG Venice (LG-LG730), Carrier: Boost Mobile, OS: Android 4.0.4
What I have done so far: I was on another help site(so far not so helpful) and several people have reported success in rooting their Venice following THIS tutorial. I have had no luck following said tutorial. Every time I get to the part where it shows the "restore, yes or no" part (can be found at 13:50 in the video tutorial), and when I click yes to restore, the phone says "starting restore.... restore finished" or something similar, but never actually reboots, and nothing shows up in the CMD window. Now I know that I have never set any encryption passwords, and I verified that these options were turned off in the phone settings.
I have also tried Super One Click, for what its worth, and keep getting stuck on "step 7: waiting for device"
If anyone has any information on how I can easily root this phone, I would be most appreciative. I say "easy" way because I AM totally new to rooting and I don't want mess something up. I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong area.
Thank you in advance.

FWIW I just rooted both my and my wife's LG Venice phones.
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and then method 3 instead of 1 which has worked for others.
android 4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build IMM76L
software LG730ZV5
I did try method 1 first and it may be that the two need to be stacked for all I know at present, I will be resetting one phone to factory and trying fresh with method 3 as soon as her 8g SD is ready to go.

I've tried using different versions of Bin4ry's root and none of them work. Im running 4.0.4

On a friends phone, also a Venice (boostmobile) we had some insanity as described below.
The final root check stalled, and we finally stopped the script that was waiting for something for most of a day.
A quick check from the ADB said we had root, and I could get the # prompt and do what I wanted, see the supersu and busybox from the rooting, etc..
Two reboots later, after adding titanium backup, supersu, and stericson-busybox from the play store (or what ever the name is today) everything went swimmingly, and even the problems I had noticed with some audio and video codecs not working had resolved themselves.
I am not sure what version of the rooter from bin4ry we used on mine and my wife's, but on our friend's we used the newest at the time he downloaded which was v25

Alright, i'll try it out. Thank you
You wouldn't by chance have the file on hand would you? I can't seem to find v25

Root Issues Lg 730
:cyclops: Hi XDA... I have an issue also with the Lg730 Venice or (Sol) I have a repeat client that is always coming up with new phones, and keeps me busy rooting, custom flashing, (in general Modding) all his little toys.. I rooted his Lg 730 last yr with adb (Ubuntu12.04) by using the usual push/mount/chmod/install.. This system has worked for me many times, including but not limited to Clone S3's , Clones S2(Chinese) Droids of all flavors, yet with this New OTA 4.1.2 my client lost the previoius Root (I did not flash CustomRom at that time) . I have SERIOUSLY ,tried every method that I know of. Binary's(thanks Binary) which i have used a few times(Donator here) does not seem to work this time. GingerBreak/Psneuter/Fastboot/Rageagainsthecage/Odin/Heimdall (yes i even tried Samsung designs) Nothing works on this new OTA for me. Upgraded to RaringRingtail thinking i was out of date , to my dismay Nothing... I cannot get Root. Fastboot does not pickup device(all drivers in place(Ubuntu/Windows) My biggest challenge ever. I BOUGHT this phone (not because i like it) but for personal reasons. There is limited support for this device. I would like those who read this forum to know, that I AM going to dedicate my spare TIME on the Lg730 Venice from this day on. I have reset BoostMobile Factory settings , taken the stock boot.img , pulled the system, , rooted it, busybox'd it, with run support, zipaligned, added a couple of my favorite apk's,changed the bootanimation, zipped it,(7zip)... Essentially STOCK, with ROOT... I cannot run this on my Device(NO ROOT) but if any1 is interested its ready for flashing... I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOU DEVICE... I will speak to a Moderator before i post link so as to get XDA Forum rules advice first. I take no credit , and i give it all (J.Rummy) (Chainfire)(XDA Developers)(Dsixda)(Koushik Dutta)(Exploid-Crew)for without them many things could not be possible....

I do not have it on hand, and we both semi-accidentally OTA upgraded to jellybean when the prompts got too annoying and lost root all together.
IF you manage to achieve root, best to use OTA rootkeeper BEFORE you upgrade, looks like now I have to use kdz tools and downgrade to v5, root, rootkeeper, and hope I can keep root :/

I have tried to use this page/post to root my LG 730 Venice (Android 4.1.2 Software LG 730ZV8). I have downloaded & installed everything but keep getting ERROR messages at the end. Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to install/use bin4ry v31.zip ??
I am almost sure that it would eliminate these errors. I have been using Linux now for over 10 years and this process should be child's play.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not much info to go on Mike , but here goes, first but not least...... LG730ZV8 package is not rootable.... You need to first downgrade from the LG730ZV8 to LG730ZV5 using LG Tool 500 method... (.cab format from here--> ) http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LG730/ABMUSV/LG730ZV5_01/LG730ZV5_01.S5_00.P61009.cab ... Follow instructions to the letter, and do not miss any steps....... I think its an easier way using the tools but if your a DIY kinda guy , the KDZ method is a little more complex , but rewarding in the end , more so than The 500 Tool simply said , because if your a little like me, i flash many different OS's for the fun of it, and the KDZ method will truely always work when the Tool wont..... Now the KDZ method you can find Here --------------->----------->---------------------->-----------------------------------------------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236.... If you have any problems or questions give4 a shout and i will try to guide you through it ...... Good luck Mike
Ps...... The trick to getting Binary's Root method to work is to put it on Root (c:\Binary.... etc...etc ) go to file press shift and right click to open cmd prompt... Type c:\RunMe ... Choose method #1 restore twice ,reboot 3x and Rooted..

Not much info to go on Mike , but here goes, first but not least...... LG730ZV8 package is not rootable.... You need to first downgrade from the LG730ZV8 to LG730ZV5 using LG Tool 500 method... (.cab format from here--> ) http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LG730/ABMUSV/LG730ZV5_01/LG730ZV5_01.S5_00.P61009.cab ... Follow instructions to the letter, and do not miss any steps....... I think its an easier way using the tools but if your a DIY kinda guy , the KDZ method is a little more complex , but rewarding in the end , more so than The 500 Tool simply said , because if your a little like me, i flash many different OS's for the fun of it, and the KDZ method will truely always work when the Tool wont..... Now the KDZ method you can find Here --------------->----------->---------------------->-----------------------------------------------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236.... If you have any problems or questions give4 a shout and i will try to guide you through it ...... Good luck Mike

I went into the folder that I extracted the bin4ry file download to and found two other folders:stuff and z_rootkit.. Inside the "stuff" folder I found abd.exe & dlls, busybox, fastboot, glass, install recovery, root me.tar (Linux), rootkittablet.tar.gz Linux), su and superuser.apk.. Now some of the ERROR messages had references to ABD and missing .dlls which were apparently not installed. This where I believe this prog hung up but I have no idea why.
The other folder "z_rootkit" had getroot scripts (.sh) and usbux.ab. I am guessing but I am assuming these might be needed too.
When I extracted to folder bin4ry, there were no other instructions to install from these folders.
This why I was asking for an install instruction file to get all this done.
Hope this helps in the solution !!

Hi Mike ...:cyclops: This will help you out..... You have the right package I believe.. Not sure why its giving you the dll errors... that could possibly be SDK or ADB not installed correctly via path to directory... Check it. Possibly deprecated download file. Too many too list in Windows... Gotta love Ubuntu........ Try downloading Binary's Root by Restore again... open downloads , -> drag n drop file to local c (root) set permissions-> Unzip it . open File . press shift on keyboard while also right clicking pointer, and it will bring up command prompt . Type ( .\RunMe ) in prompt...... When it opens select # (1) follow prompts to Backup---> Restore---> ADB will reboot ---once----twice and android will upgrade ... Let it finish. (3) Third reboot pull plug ---> grant permissions to Superuser or SuperSU on popup... Rooted.... I am assuming you downgraded to LG730ZV5 or LG730ZV6 already....... if there are any problems , or if you have questions let me know......

What to download ??

Just got everything cleaned up and am now ready to do this thing. Went to KDZ but don't know which prog to download plus I don't have B2C on my LG730.
Please let me know where I might find everything I will need to get it done.
Thanks

Progress Rooting LGE 730
I wish someone would teach all the Windows people that they are dealing with a MF trash bin OS. I have been fighting Win Updates. getting MS Active Sync installed etc. I have never in my life seen such idioatic crap in my life, There HAS TO BE AN EASIER way to root an LGE 730 (Venice) phone. If someone has such info please let me know because using the KDZ method is maniacal at best, I am ready to trash this piece of CR** phone. It CANNOT BE THIS TOUGH TO DO !

[Resolved] Help me root Blu Dash 4.5? UPDATE: root and boot successful

First off, I'm using Linux, specifically xubuntu.
Hey I've never rooted a phone and have been up all night trying to figure this out. It seems that there isn't a guide for this particular model and I'm trying to figure out how to get it rooted. If I understand correctly, I believe the first step I need to do is retrieve my stock recovery img to use the CWM builder and I'm sort of lost. Here's all the info I can offer to help you help me.
update: Framaroot worked. 5 minutes max. The middle option. wtf. I don't even know what to do now. ahahahahahaha
THIS IS HOUSTON. WE HAVE LIFT OFF.
keywords for every other exhausted noob:
blu dash 4.5 root recovery flash img
ok ok now I have to unlock the bootloader I guess and I'm still confused
edit again: 2 hours later, ended up at the same G+ page, read a couple comments below and now I have CWM installed.
Summary of How To
download Framaroot, select the second option(the first didn't work or something)
Download the CVM from the google + page
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/107075561881109670409/posts/RWuhJBoFXa9
Steps: your device with ROOT. Install mobileuncletool.
- unzip file : copy recovery. img for you sdcard. Not use WiFi.
- in mobileuncletoll have a option: Update recovery. Select and you see recovery.img (see date and size). Select and choose OK. Reboot automatically in CWM.

clarification requested please
I'm also interested in rooting my dash 4.5. Your post is the only helpful one I've found, so thanks for that.
I've only rooted one phone before so I'm almost a complete noob, plus it was a couple of years ago. Anyway, I've never used framaroot or CWM, and have little understanding of the inner workings of Linux. So, I'm needing a little clarification on the process you used.
If Framaroot works I should be able to get that to work, but if I have to use CWM I'll probably just work with a non rooted dash 4.5. But if it's not too hard to do, and you don't mind spelling things out for me, I'll give it a shot.
So did you have to use framaroot and then use CWM to get things working?
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

[Completed] Little help with installing custom ROM please?

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...
