I found out what the issue was. I removed my SD card and instead copied the files into the internal memory and was able to locate them that way. Now when once I start installing the firmware I get this error:
Install /sdcard/external_sd ...
then in red letters: E: Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)
Installation aborted.
Perhaps the firmware is faulty? I had downloaded the most up to date one from here: CyanogenMod Downloads
and now I see there has been a new one added just some hours ago. Should I download it?
Thanks,

Coby Kyros MID1125 Rooting and Q & A's

I have the correct drivers installed in my windows machine and can get the 1125 to respond to ADB Reboot bootloader but then it just loads the bootloader and there is no recovery installed. Has anyone successfully installed clockwork mod recov on this device? I've tried to install cmr form this tutorial (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...p-coby-kyros-mid1125-overhaul.html#post164821) but no luck. It doesn't restart after running the update zip.
I have been trying to find out which drivers I need to get ADB to work with no avail. Would you mind letting me know which drivers to download and where to get them from. Thank!!

I'm thinking about trying to root my wife's tablet this weekend. Will rooting it wipe it? Also, will I be able to lower the nand space to make more system space available? I have rooted my Galaxy Nexus, but am a little nervous about rooting the tablet. I don't want to brick it.
I haven't been able to root mine- I'm guessin it will not wipe it unless you install a custom rom of which I'm not sure that anyone is even developing.

Root
I've already tried that website. I paid my $30 dollars and they couldn't root my tablet. I am in the process of getting a refund. They just kept sending me the same emails over and over again. Super One click root hangs on step 7 "waiting for device"

If you can enter fastboot you can restore to 4.1
Download from this link ,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fixhl34x7qr13v6/1125.zip?dl=0
Copy entire 1125.zip folder to desktop
Extract 1125.zip to desktop
Install PdaNetA4170.exe driver ( This should allow you to transfer files with Fastboot )
This is Version 4.17 installer for Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (both 32/64bit)
Extract CWM recovery img_1125 folder to desktop by itself ( Do not remove any files from this folder )
Move zip files from zips folder to micro sd card and insert sd into tablet ( leave these in zip format !! )
coby_gapps.zip
coby_mid1125-seed-0012.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Also move apks from apks folder to MicroSD card
Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk
Busybox.apk
Link2sd.apk
and
market-helper-2.0-beta.apk ( this will allow spoofing of market for not compatible apps )
Open cmd window
( menu , run , when window opens , enter “cmd” without quotes )
Cd to directory
ie ,
type in window
cd desktop , ( enter )
cd CWM recovery img_1125 ( enter )
Now place 1125 into fastboot mode , power ( or reset button ) and volume down , tablet will show fastboot mode in lower left corner
Plug in usb cable to pc and tablet
Then in cmd prompt type
fastboot boot recovery.img ( enter )
It will show some stuff , flash ok and done ok
Tablet should boot to CWM give it a moment to do so ( You will see CWM Recovery Top hat and such )
Volume up is up , Volume down is down , Home ( Silver Button ) is select
Go to and select flash zip from sd card
This will pull up menu of following zip files
Flash each zip file
coby_mid1125-seed-0012.zip
coby_gapps.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Select reboot
Tablet will boot ,again give it a moment ( You will see Coby and then Android splash screen )
Select language from first screen ( as it will be in Dutch ), finish setup of tablet
Open ES File Explorer , go to tools setting in ES File Explorer and select
“Root Explorer” to on , allow when Super User prompt shows , this will prove SU is installed and working
Open ES File Explorer , Select sdcard top right , Select storage
Install Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk ( To sync Play Store )
Install Busybox.apk
Install Link2sd.apk
Install Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Open Uni-init+v1.0.apk , install intd support
( you will need busybox installed first for this to work )
You now have working Play Store , Superuser and Android 4.1 with Intd support
For Extended memory ,( You need this )
Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD : Min 2 GB microSD
In order to add memory to Coby 1125, your micro SD card used for install will need to be formatted
Copy all files you wish to keep from micro SD to desktop as it will be wiped
• Backup all your files on memory card.
• Go into the Recovery Mode ( as above , fastboot boot recovery.img ) ( Your operating system will be fine )
• Make a nandroid backup at this time
• Select “Advanced”, and then choose “Partition SD Card”.
• Then Choose your size ( if you have a 2GB Memory Card, choose 512 MB, and if you have a 4 GB Memory card, you can choose 1024 MB, ext ).
• Select 0 Swap.
• Wait for the process to finish, and then select Reboot
You’ve just made a partition on your memory card, and its ready to use.
Now follow the steps below for Link2SD
• Open Link2SD. You will be prompted to choose between ext2,ext3,ext4 and FAT32.
• Choose ext2
• Select OK ,
• It will then say, “Mount Script Created”.
• Now you Reboot your Tablet
• Open Link2SD again, if any message does not appear ,it means you succeeded.
• Go to Link2SD > Setting( far right top icon ) scroll down > Check the autolink. (to automatically move apps upon installation).
If you already have some apps listed , select “create link” ( be sure to check the files: app, dalvic-cache, and library files).
Move to SD option only moves app to SD it does not link them
Now to check the memory, select “Storage Info” . this will be showing you up the current status of your internal memory.
You should see as below SD Card 2nd Part
To move a system App you can long press App , it will pull up menu , select convert to user App let it do its thing
Select App again and it will open option to create link as installed user apps do
So far I have moved Calculator , VPN , Music FX , ES File Explorer and Sound Recorder with no issue
Use Link2Sd and (long press) on SystemUpdate.apk ( /system/app/SystemUpdate.apk ) and freeze app.
This will stop System Update from happening at random moments or on reboot
There is no Update to install though the System thinks so (without freezing it will continue to show updates available)

I used this method ,Put the installation zip file on your tablet's external SD card. If you don't have an external SD card, CWM zip file, download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?do5jkna3dpas1tq ...Installing from factory (3e) recovery:
Use the volume up/down buttons to move the highlight up and down, and the power button to select the highlighted option.
1. Select "apply update from external storage"
2. Select the file you placed on your storage card (starts with "p6210_CWMR".)
3. Sit back and watch it run. Read the information that is being sent to the screen. If there's an error, it'll display some message. If it works, it'll display a message starting with the word "Done!"
4. Select "reboot system now."
You now have a CWM-based recovery installed, and your tablet is rooted.

What is the Recovery Android?
The recovery is no more than a text mode that is loaded during the startup phase in place of the operating system itself. A recovery allows to perform certain operations at a low level otherwise not possible during normal operation of the system.
The recovery is in all Android devices, although the basic version. To activate it you must use a well defined sequence of commands.
In the case of Samsung Galaxy series you can access the recovery mode by holding down both by phone off the VOLUME UP +POWER BUTTON....... What is the Recovery Android?
With the recovery you can perform certain operations.
The most important is to restore the factory settings, especially useful when you are not able to access the phone features due to various system errors or corruption of important files.
Other operations in the recovery of basic cleaning &of the cache (though already included within the factory reset) and the installation of "files signed" by Samsung.......... What are the custom recovery ?
A recovery base is very limited, because of that have been created by independent developers of recovery can change the commands to extend the basic versions come with Android.
The most common functions offered by the modified recovery are different.
The main one is undoubtedly the ability to install files "unsigned" (eg zip install from sdcard), then that can be created by anyone.
This is precisely the case of the cooked roms that are prepared in the form of packets. Zip.
Another function is that of widespread nandroid backup, that is a complete image of all partitions on the phone. ...there are no problem for bricked to device, your rom is great, with this procedure I have had no problems..........

[Q] Re: THE ULTIMATE NEWB GUIDE. I'm too noob for to noob guide, help.

. I don't even want a custom ROM. I just want to be rooted and run stock with rooted google play store apps. Am I there?
I just want to run rooted apps with no ROM flashing...oh god why...where is the guide to root and only root?
You'd think this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1652398 would be where to go to do that, but evidently it's sending me down the road to custom ROM flashing. AGHGHGhjkdashbdas. Do not want.
Ok, so here's where I am, I have finished step 8:
1. Download Odin 1.85 .
2. Download(USE FIREFOX!) ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 OR TWRP 2.2.2.0, they are both named "recovery.tar.md5" and will be downloaded as "recovery.tar.md5", DO NOT CHANGE the filename or else it wont install.
3. Extract the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder.
4. Run Odin 1.85.exe from the folder you extracted it to.
5. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
6. Only Click "PDA" and select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
7. How To Put your device into Download Mode: DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE. - download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT to your phone.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. ATT PHONES - Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
ROGERS PHONES - Press and keep down only the Volume Down key.
DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME KEY(S) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN STEP (f)
e. Insert the USB cable into your device. The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted - DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON.
f. You will now see a screen w/a yellow triangle warning you about installing a rom . Now release the volume key(s) - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
g. Press and release the "Volume Up" key to enter into download mode - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
h. You should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognizing your phone. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
8. Click Start in Odin. It will flash the new recovery and will reboot the phone when completed. Your device will autoreboot into android. You are done using ODIN.
9. UPDATING CWM OR TWRP:
Now you need to udate CWM, download and copy cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_skyrocket.zip file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and choose "INSTALL FROM SDCARD" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
sk8erwitskil's CWM thread is here HERE , check to see if above file is the latest or dl the "Flashable zip" CWM file from there.
If upgrading TWRP go here HERE and follow the dev's instructions on using goo app, or you can use the flashable TWRP 2.4.1.0 file HERE and copy that file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and pick "INSTALL" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
How to enter recovery read section #2 below.
How to use cwm read THIS, also read Q&A on recoveries
You can upgrade to either CWM OR TWRP from which ever recovery TAR file you used in ODIN in step #2 from above.
10. You're done newbie and soon to be a power user, read and educate yourself as much as you can before flashing, happy flashing.

I don't know how to do step 9. Do I even need it? I have no desire to run a custom ROM.
yargdpirate said:
OK so here's the list of instructions I'm using to root my Skyrocket:
I have completed everything through step 4. I completely do not understand what to do after that. So, like I'm a 40 year old soccer mom, can you explain what I'm supposed to do to fulfill step 5? Is it through the odin app on my pc? Is this completed on my phone? The link provided that ostensibly explains to noobs how to do this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970) doesn't adequately explain to me what I'm doing and where.
Help, please!

Assuming that you have successfully installed your custom recovery you then need to know which recovery you installed before you update it. If you used CWM you can get the updated version from the Skyrocket development thread. Put the updated CWM file on your SD card and flash that zip while in recovery. If you used TWRP you can update it through the app that it installed if it did install one. GooManager (someone correct me if I am wrong on the name) I think GooManager needs suoeruser privileges. So which recovery did you flash?

i think you should stay on stock, read more b4 you brick your phone, no sense in rooting/installing custom roms when you dont know how to install a file on your scard, im not putting you down but trying to give you friendly advice
Vincom has a point. I taught myself through these forums and Google how to do it back in October of 2011. I flashed many a ROM and many files since then until I bricked mine Thursday. Now I have to pay 60 dollars to get it fixed. But on the upside I now have a Note II to play with.
Edit: She is asking for help though and she did ask in the right thread. Some people need more help than others.

You'd think this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 would be where to go to do that, but evidently it's sending me down the road to custom ROM flashing. AGHGHGhjkdashbdas. Do not want.
Ok, so here's where I am, I have finished step 8:
1. Download Odin 1.85 .
2. Download(USE FIREFOX!) ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 OR TWRP 2.2.2.0, they are both named "recovery.tar.md5" and will be downloaded as "recovery.tar.md5", DO NOT CHANGE the filename or else it wont install.
3. Extract the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder.
4. Run Odin 1.85.exe from the folder you extracted it to.
5. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
6. Only Click "PDA" and select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
7. How To Put your device into Download Mode: DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON FOR THIS PROCEDURE. - download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT to your phone.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. ATT PHONES - Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys simultaneously.
ROGERS PHONES - Press and keep down only the Volume Down key.
DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME KEY(S) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO IN STEP (f)
e. Insert the USB cable into your device. The phone will turn itself on when usb cable is inserted - DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON.
f. You will now see a screen w/a yellow triangle warning you about installing a rom . Now release the volume key(s) - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
g. Press and release the "Volume Up" key to enter into download mode - SEE PHONE PICS BELOW
h. You should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognizing your phone. SEE COMPUTER SREEN PICS BELOW.
8. Click Start in Odin. It will flash the new recovery and will reboot the phone when completed. Your device will autoreboot into android. You are done using ODIN.
9. UPDATING CWM OR TWRP:
Now you need to udate CWM, download and copy cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_skyrocket.zip file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and choose "INSTALL FROM SDCARD" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
sk8erwitskil's CWM thread is here HERE , check to see if above file is the latest or dl the "Flashable zip" CWM file from there.
If upgrading TWRP go here HERE and follow the dev's instructions on using goo app, or you can use the flashable TWRP 2.4.1.0 file HERE and copy that file to your sdcard, boot into recovery and pick "INSTALL" from recovery, install the file and reboot back into recovery to see if it installed correctly.
How to enter recovery read section #2 below.
How to use cwm read THIS, also read Q&A on recoveries
You can upgrade to either CWM OR TWRP from which ever recovery TAR file you used in ODIN in step #2 from above.
10. You're done newbie and soon to be a power user, read and educate yourself as much as you can before flashing, happy flashing.

I don't know how to do step 9. Do I even need it? I have no desire to run a custom ROM.
For just rooting u have to run the superuser zip through your recovery
Oh and if you are not understanding what the stickies are saying to do then look it up on youtube because there are a lot of step by step instructions there.

a. put updated file in your micro sd card.... plug ur micro sd card to pc... drag file and drop it in your micro sd card. put the micro sd card back in phone.
b. to go to recovery press power button + vol+ + vol- all at once and hold.
why do u need to unlock play store app? playstore is accessible completely even without root. you can also sideload Amazon appstore and other apps without root. no need to get all bricked up just to run playstore. i'm confused what are you trying to do again?

im guessing he wants to run apps from play that require root, eg titanuim backup, but he doesnt know how to put a file on his sdcard, but then he has to learn how to install zips from recovery which someones got to teach him since he doesnt want to read/learn/search for the answers. he seems to be impatient and wants it done "now", its a brick waiting to happen, my advice to him was to slowdown and learn

agree and such bad attituted too. i wouldn't want to help anybody who cusses in every conversation geez little respect goes a long way
It you just want to root and not want to flash any custom ROMs or anything related to it,I will tell you how to from total beginning
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST , BACKUP EVERYTHING
In order to root Android 4.2 the following three requirements must be satisfied beforehand:
The Android SDK, which you can download from Google Developers
A custom recovery like ClockworkMod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
SuperSU, which you can download from CF-Root
There are no major differences between the two, but TWRP is more touch-oriented thanks to larger buttons. CWM is also available in a touch-compatible variant, but it has much smaller buttons. It's a matter of personal preference between the two though, but you have to choose one.
Before starting the process I urge you to perform a backup, as all data might be lost afterwards. You can copy the contents of the SD card to a safe external location such as cloud storage service or computer hard drive.
The first step that needs to be performed after all the files are downloaded is to install the Android SDK. Afterwards open the Android SDK Manager and select the following two items:
Android SDK Platform-tools -- it contains the required programs to install Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Google USB Driver -- it contains the necessary drivers for the Nexus device
Then you should create a folder in an easily accessible location within the command line. In this example I will use a folder named "Root" in my C:\ drive in Windows. The path name will therefore be: "C:\Root".
From the folder where Android SDK Platform-tools is installed (in my case it is "C:\Program Files x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" copy the following files to the previously created "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
The following files must also be copied to the "Root" folder:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery that you previously downloaded for your specific device (please see below)
For my 8 GB nexus 7 wifi(codename "grouper" I will use TWRP with the name "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img".
You can easily find the codename for your devoice by looking into Google
The custom recovery file differs for each device, please make sure you download the correct file
In order to make the process smoother for instance the SuperSU file can be renamed to "root.zip" and the custom recovery to "customrecovery.zip". It's a matter of convenience, but for accuracy I will stick to the original naming for this guide.
If the previous steps are completed you must have the following six files in your "Root" folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip -- SuperSU file
The custom recovery. In my case it is "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img"
From there, you can proceed to install the drivers for "fastboot mode". To install them, follow these steps:
Power off your Nexus device.
Press and hold Volume Up and Volume Down then press and hold the Power button; the device will now enter "fastboot mode".
Go to Device Manager (Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager in Windows 7/8) and identify the device; for me it shows up as Android 1.0.
Right click Android 1.0 and select "Update Driver Software," then select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer," then click "Next".
From "Have Disk..." option go to the folder where you have Google USB Driver installed (for me it's "C:\Program Files .(x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver" and select "android_winusb.inf".
Out of the three options select "Android ADB Interface" and validate any future warning window to install the driver.
Final preparations
Everything is prepared in order to start the installation process, but in order to do so a command window must be opened. Windows Key + R opens "Run"; type in "cmd" and the command window appears. Typing "cd C:\Root" and pressing Enter sets the "Root" folder as the working directory. Pressing the Shift key and right clicking inside the "Root" folder will also deliver the same result.
The device must be turned on in "fastboot mode" which I have explained at step no.2 during the driver installation process, and obviously plugged-in to the computer. You then have to type in the following commands while in "fastboot mode":
fastboot devices -- this is just for verification purposes; if there is no listed device then the drivers have been improperly installed and steps 1 through 7 must be redone.
fastboot oem unlock -> you have to accept the prompt in order to continue -- this command will unlock the bootloader, but it will also erase the data on the device which is why a backup is necessary.
fastboot reboot-bootloader -- this will reboot the bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-grouper.img -- this will flash the custom recovery --please use the specific file and name for your particular Nexus device!
fastboot erase cache -- this will erase the cache -- might not be necessary but it's just as a precaution.
fastboot reboot -- this will reboot the device.
After Android 4.2 is loaded and running the SuperSU file must be copied from the "Root" folder to the internal storage (shows up in Windows Explorer as a Nexus device). A simple copy and paste will do the trick here.
Then you have to power off the Nexus device and enter "fastboot mode" again. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate until you can select "Recovery Mode". After the power button is pressed the device will reboot in the new custom recovery.
Rooting your Nexus device
If you have ClockworkMod installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Select "0" (zero) folder
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Yes - Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip"
Select "Go Back"
Select "reboot system now"
If you have Team Win Recovery Project installed, you have to perform the following steps:
Press "Install".\
Select "CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip" -- for me it's in the "0" (zero) folder
Swipe to confirm flash
Press "Wipe cache/dalvik" (just as a precaution)
Swipe to wipe
Press "Reboot System"
After Android 4.2 loads your device can run apps with elevated privileges (meaning it's rooted). A SuperSU app is installed in order to allow root requests, so please use your judgement on which apps you grant access.
If you experiences any problem, please reply and I will look into it.

^^you want him todo that, lmao, he doesnt even know how to put a file on his sdcard to flash it in recovery, theres no way a computer newb is going to be able to follow what you posted
That's why I have not used the word flash anywhere, I know that he does not know how to flash , I have posted the right thing for a total noob,( at least if he knows how to use command in windows or install drivers)
I helped him in the way I could and what he requested

You think that helped. LOL. Your telling him to do things that aren't even required to gain root with this device. Not everything is a nexus bro. Next time you wanna help study up on the phone your giving advice about. lol
Well , thanks for telling me that every android isn't rooted in same manner, I was thinking that all devices are rooted in same ways like for my nexus

naman14, im not putting you down, your step by step howto is admirable, good work, but the problem is that the op is clueless on tech stuff, its not the word "flash" he has a problem with, i could of said "install" and it would lead to same conclusion, he doesnt know how to copy a file to his sdcard, if he cant do that he has no business in modding his phone until he learns more. anyhow the op is long gone by now
I upgraded my samsung skyrocket s2 version 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 through the Kies. Then I tried to install TWRP 2.2.0 and Odin 1.85. I saw COM 14 ; COM 17 when I hit start button .It said
FAILED. Now it showed a yellow triangle in the middle of phone & monitor pictures. ( including : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in Kies & try again). Please help . Thank you very much.
I just tried other laptop . I saw COM 3 but it said it couldn't open the serial (COM )port . All thread completed (success 0/ failed 1)

BLU Quattro 4.5 rom list and how to instructions

Found this online. *****this is not my work****** All credit goes to the author quattrodevelopment.blogspot.com
Here is a step by step with roms included for the 4.5 quattro Not the HD or 5.7 HD maybe soon.
Disclaimer: These ROMs/Recoveries are only intended for the BLU Quattro 4.5, or the K-Touch v9(which is the chinese version) These WILL NOT work on the 4.5HD or 5.7HD devices(I will release ROMs/Recoveries specifically for your device at a later time)
Drivers: https://copy.com/BUMmsS9rhLJe
English Recovery: https://copy.com/XZxTDht2lQiz
Gapps(4.2) https://copy.com/utkbZgwRpsVB
Gapps(4.1) https://copy.com/pSd8SsqU9pdI
ROMs With Less Bugs: MIUI v5 (4.1) https://copy.com/sbmcN6PHwFfi CM/AOKP Hybrid? JB (4.1) https://copy.com/VeLz1VLbkNNI Shendu ROM 4.1(Modified/Tweaked by me) https://copy.com/NwiFnlO8JAek
ROMs With More Bugs: Cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2) https://copy.com/8kt2EAU2ll8y
1- Download the drivers from link posted above, and extract it to the folder of your desire. Now turn the phone off, and hold Vol+ (volume up button) and Power button at the same time until you see a green screen, then release both buttons immediately. You should now be in APX mode(nvflash) it will be a black screen
2- Connect phone to computer via usb cable. Now you should get a pop-up window about installing drivers, you're going to want to choose to browse computer for driver software manually. Then choose let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and click have disk. Now you're going to browse to the location where you extracted the drivers to, and click on it(Ignore warning if it pops up, and choose install)
3- Assuming everything went as planned, now download the recovery and extract it to the location you desire(must be in a directory that you can issue adb commands from) inside of that folder, locate a file named recovery.bat. Double click on that file and a command prompt with a bunch of chinese pops up. Give it a second and press enter, it will go through the process and flash a recovery onto your phone
4- After everything is done, hold down the power button for about ten seconds(until the device powers off) Power the device back on normally, and download the ROM/ROMs if you haven't already and place them on the internal or external sd card(your choice) With device connected to pc, open command prompt and type in "adb reboot recovery" (without quotes) and the device will boot into recovery mode
5- Now that we have an English recovery, the translations below aren't really needed. However, I'm going to leave them up for a few days, just until everybody can transition to the English recovery. They will be deleted after that!
Recovery Main Menu: -Reboot -Install from SD card -Wipe Data/Factory Reset -Wipe Cache -Backup&Restore -Mount/Format -Advanced
Install From SD Card Menu: -Install zip from external SD -Apply update.zip -Unknown* -Install zip from internal SD
Backup&Restore Menu: -Backup -Restore -The rest are unknown*
Advanced Menu: -Reboot Recovery -Wipe Dalvik Cache -The rest are unknown*
To install ROM- In recovery mode, Factory Reset/Wipe Cache/Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then choose install zip from sd card(then choose internal or external and locate the ROM you want to install) After that you need to do the same thing to install the gapps package(you need the gapps package for google apps to function) once all is done, reboot and wait(it takes a while to boot the first time after flashing new ROMs, it has to rebuild the Dalvik cache)
NOTE: In case you aren't familiar with flashing ROMs, once you click on something( "backup" for example) a menu pops up pretty much asing you if you're sure you want to do that. It will have a bunch of lines of the same thing(which is no) and then one of the lines will have a bunch of writing beside it(which means yes). Also BEFORE you flash any ROMs, make sure you factory reset/wipe cache/and wipe dalvik cache, then you can flash the ROM and gapps package
*These will be updated regularly, as I discover what they are **More ROMs to come!
Internal Memory
The "BLU Quattro 4.5" has 4GB internal memory partitioned into 0.98GB for ROM and apps and an internal usb-memory of 1.63GB.
Is it possible to merge or resize the partitions?
I have 16GB external SD so the 1.63GB internal reserved usb-memory is useless and I still having trouble out of space in primary partition.
Thanks and sorry my english =/

Recovery + Root My experience
Hello... I got my BLU Quattro 4.5 (D440) a while back, didn't fuzz with it much right off. The Stock ROM was sluggish at best thought there was even an issue with the Digitizer/screen. But this thread was extremely helpful. I am now running Shendu ROM 4.1.2 one of the suggested ROM's above. I tried the other 2 first and they were mostly in Chineese and I had an especially hard time getting them switched over to English. Either way onward to the point. I have put together a few helpful tips-tricks for my experience with this phone and its phoenix transition to an awesome handset. Thats right now this is my daily driver and I love it! See below hope its helpful.
BLU Quattro 4.5 (440D) GSM Recovery+Root
These steps for this phone only!! Not responsible for any issues.
1. download ROM's, Recovery, & Driver from XDA (this thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327417
2. Enable USB Debugging! Go into Apps-Settings-DevOptions - Check box for USB Debug
3. Have original USB cord if handy! I tried with a Samsung OEM cable but no luck getting drivers to stick. Use original is best. (If you have one.)
Plug in USB Cord to PC then Phone and see if windows detects drivers. let it. It wont get the ones u need later, but what it does find is for USB storage. (you can move over your ROM's/Gapps to storage, downloads folder is a good spot).
4. Go to... http://junefabrics.com/android/downloadold.php to get pdanet software. Install it and it will give i the right drivers for ADB support. I used 4.01 to match the android version currently on my phone.
5. Extract the Driver provided from XDA. Put it in a folder with the ADB commands. Or you can get it all here... http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNexus/rooting/GalaxyNexusRootNew.zipn <-- I know this isn't for BLU but, if you extract this to a folder, and also add the drivers extracted to it as well this works! I've done it.
6. Extract the English Recovery to the same folder.
7. Turn off your phone. Hold down Vol up and Power button for about 5-9 seconds. Once you see a green screen let go of both. Screen may flicker then go black but the icons at the bottom will stay lit. You are now in APX mode (nvflash) mode. (as stated above in original post)
8. Check your Win 7 PC device manager. For a Phone device with ADB. If you you may need to update driver with the one that came from XDA, but the PDANet software should make it work.
8. Go to the folder and find Recovery.bat file (may have Chinese in file name. Double click and a command prompt window will pop up with a bunch of unknown characters, wait 5 sec then hit enter. The batch file should take of pushing the necessary recovery through ADB to the phone. It will error if it can't.
9. If completes OK. Push power for 7-9 seconds to power off the phone. Hit power like normal to turn it back on. It will boot up like normal (or it should).
10. USB is still connected this whole time and you can open a command prompt window. Navigate to the folder you placed the Recovery into. Something like user/username/desktop/BLU/recovery..etc)
Type ADB devices....it should show you that is is connected to your device. Then type " adb reboot recovery " and the device should reboot, give it some time.
11. Once in recovery. Best to do a backup of the original ROM & system. that way you can get back into recovery if anything goes wrong and wipe out the problem by restoring and starting again.
After you backup === you can get into recovery without the command being typed in or even being connected to your PC.... By holding Vol up + Power till you see the green screen then let go of power but keep holding Vol up till you see the BLU Products boot screen then let go ===
Clockworkmod Recovery should be on your screen.
you can reboot phone now and get back to original with no changes. Or you can venture into the world of loading ROM's (There in your downloads folder if you saved them in Step 3)
ROM 101
BACKUP-BACKUP-BACKUP 1st thing once in Recovery ...can't stress enough how much of trouble you can keep yourself out of by keeping an original backup.
As I stated before the Shendu ROM + Gapps is running smooth and all features I've been trying are working flawlessly!! Thanks to original post for getting me going. Just thought I'd add my 2 Cents.
Ok, here are the BEST 2 ROMS for this Phone:
Android 4.0.4(close to vanilla) : MEGA
Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3.1) : (some audio and video issues, in BETA version ) MEGA
Need to merge internal partitions ? (merge memories) this one really "resize" the partitions (first one 1,7GB, another one new size is 2Mb) the flash.cfg file you need to flash:
This phone dont have notificaion led, fixed with this app: MEGA (flash the botton menu buttons)

Alcatel Flash or 6042D Stock ROM, ROOTING, CWM RECOVERY

I am not a android guy but faced lot of challenge in finding the Stock ROM for Alcatel Flash or TCL 6042D or Alcatel 6042D. Found one here but having few corrupted files due to which "settings" "message" and few others didn't worked well and in fact frequent crash. Fortunately I had another 6042D to my relative and I took CWM backup of that device and would like to share with you.
Please follow the following steps and don't do otherwise, as only these settings worked for me, other settings may not work. Please Note That these steps are applicable provided that required driver for that device is installed properly.
STEP-A: Download these three files. Please add https: to all links.
1. Stock Recovery and Scatter File package.

2. SP Flash Tool Software

3. CWM Backup package
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380Fb0NoWTNTLWhtQjA/view?usp=sharing
4. Extract the three files
STEP-B: Recovery Install. No root required
1. Go to sp flash tool folder and run it.
//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FMU1NUlFZQzFVNWc/view?usp=sharing
2. Then load scatter for the device from "SPtool_stock_recovery_scatter_OT6042D" folder.

//drive.google.com/file/d/0B-BBKAO9380FWmhXZmlDLU5oQzQ/view?usp=sharing
3. If scatter file loaded successfully then you will see "boot" and "recovery" is marked. You must unmark or deselect the boot file. Then double click the recovery file to choose a recovery. Do not choose the recovery from "SPtool_stock_recovery_scatter_OT6042D" folder.. Choose the recovery from "\clockworkmod\backup\2015-10-16.14.26.59\recovey.img". Then press download button.

4. Connect your phone to Computer USB. Then turn the Phone completely OFF. Then after few seconds you will see the SP flash tool is working and sending file. File transfer rate and status will be shown in status bar.
5. If things are ok then you will see a Green Circle as "OK" symbol. And you are done with installing CWM recovery. Now turn the Phone ON.
STEP-C: Installing Stock ROM
1. Copy the extracted "clockworkmod" folder to the root directory of microSD card.
2. Turn OFF the Phone and wait for vibration. After vibration press "UP VOLUME + DOWN VOLUME + POWER" key same time and wait to see Alcatel logo. Release the buttons.
3. You should see the CWM recovery screen. Now follow the steps
wipe data/factory reset

Goto Advance then wipe dalvic cache and go back
backup or restore

Choose the file from "clockworkmod\backup\2015-10-16.14.26.59"
chose yes in confirmation screen
Wait to see "restore from SD card complete"
4. reboot system now. First boot will take some time . Have patience.
Links are from Google drive. Sometimes google does not allow download of zip files. Let me know if it happens.
Thanks and Jajakallahu Khairan
