Thank you sir, the rom will be useful for backup
Kindly update if there is another custom rom for this lovely phone

Just got mine and updated to latest firmware it had. This device's is CRAZY good for its cost, the screen ratio is amazing.
Will give these a whirl just now, Thanks!
Thankss
the rom in post #2 is original rom or is custom rom?
Where can I get one of these that will work in the US with AT&T HSPA+? I see that they have several model numbers:
Single SIM Versions: 8020 / 8020A / 8020Y
Dual SIM Versions: 8020D / 8020E
NFC Version: 8020Y
What are the differences?
Sorry if this is not the place to ask about this.
@gerardo66 - i think it is the original stock one, since that version is the latest my TCL upgrades to.
@luvboox - The specs on the Alcatel page say what each model differs in every category.
Networks: GSM Quadband 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/1900/2100 (8020A / 8020E / 8020Y); UMTS 900/2100 (8020/8020D).

Google tells me AT&T use the 850 and 1900 MHZ bands. Not sure if that's correct, but if it is, you want the A, E or Y editions - The non-lettered or D versions don't support those bands.
Hi there, any update?
I've heard 01006 is out
Also, maybe someone kind enough to collect all roms / mods for y910, such as Lewa, miui, or modified factory rom
My review after using this beauty for 3 weeks:
1. Very handsome look, thin, pure black screen while off
2. Very happy for the battery, I've do the test, and manage to get 5.5 hours screen on!
3. The stock rom is full of bloatware!
4. hard to find appropriate forum in English, I only found in Russian, Spain, and of course Chinese language (Google translate is your friend)
5. Lucky there is root and cwm, at least it make us able to "do something" with this stock rom
6. Very good phone, this is the phone that have design, not just "another mtk phone"

No 01006 here through the official ROM.

Very good news.
Alcatel/TCL posted source code: Link
how we update?
Had the update myself. Through the usual about-system update screen.
Good to see the source released, lets hope its usable. I'm waiting to see how OmniROM handle their Oppo r819 ROM and hopefully we might use both to create a base for omni/CM.
Sent from my TCL Y910 using Tapatalk
EDIT: Ah, It doesn't like updating my CWM/rooted install. Did you revert those changes before applying the update? or you still have the stock recovery, perhaps?
EDIT2: OK, apparently one APK was missing from my system that the update expects to find, PartnerBookmarkProvider.apk, so i removed the patching for that from the updater-script. Now i get some setperm failures, need to see whats up with that.
EDIT3: set_perm on /system/xbin and /system/vendor/pittpatt failed because i don't even have those directories for some reason; removing them allows the update to complete. After that, im on latest firmware, CWM made sure to alert me to disabling the stock recovery restore and keeping root intact.

You can use the updater given by op
I'm using the pc style
Just open the update exe in pc, plug in your hero (off), it will begin the process
Precaution:
1. 01006 takes more than 1gb, be prepared
2. Make sure you back up your rom (copy to pc), and your data as well, because it will completely erase your phone
3. Make sure phone battery full; notebook is recommended (not dependen on power supply); good Internet connection (fast connection lead to faster process, interrupted connection will be horrible)
I found some bugs, most annoying is the "network location failed", which used to appear
I really hope the source code can bring more goodies, and also can be used for tcl

Friends, who has Alcatel OT-8020D, please post product id and version of Rom. It looks like 8020D-xxxxxxx, where x - any symbol.
Ex. 8020D-2AALRU1 - product id in Russia. Russian version has 01002 Rom with german, french, russian, ukrainian and two english (uk, usa) languages.
You can find product id on the retail box.
Or dial *#2886#, choose manu, then tracability, then find cu-ref string.
P.s. chinese unicom version product id: Y910-2ALCCN1

This is a good budget device when compared to other devices from lead manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, LG or Huawei.
While searching on the internet I did find some Root & CWM installation methods.
I will be updating the relevant posts as and when needed.
You can look in the list below for what you want to do with your device.
ATTENTION!!! READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, there are two versions of this device in the market:
1. A706 (Chinese model)
2. A706_ROW (International Model)
The ROMs in this thread are only for the A706ROW model of this phone unless otherwise stated.
If you have the chinese model or another model A760 (which is a different model) then the ROMs in this thread are not for you.
Model A706 and A760 are two different models with almost same specifications. This DOES NOT mean that the ROMs of A706ROW are compatible with A760.
Please DO NOT confuse Lenovo A706 with Lenovo A760 as these are two different devices!!! Flash or experiment at your own risk!!!!
If you share a ROM link for any of the above devices, then please mention clearly the device for which the ROM can be used.
What to do with your Device ?

Read the instructions (click on SHOW to read) before attempting anything from the list below!
First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Or atleast you need to have the adb & fastboot files available on your computer.
Here's a good post that tells you how to setup ADB and fastboot.
Here's a post that has a list of adb/shell commands for noobs.
Ok, once you are done with the setup of ADB & fastboot on your computer, then you can proceed with the below instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
SOLUTION FOR SIM ERROR & DOWNGRADING TO CHINESE ROM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the people have already done such a mistake and for those people (who are having SIM or network problems and want to go back to chinese ROM, I am sticking this post by danyno1 to the OP:

soloution for #2 problem:
Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:
1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325
2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB
3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM
4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset
5:Reboot system
An Ready! Finally got my chinese device in spanish and sim signal.

CWM Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Make sure you have all the drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Download for A706 from here. Some other Qualcomm drivers (not sure if required)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Install from Unknown Sources is enabled and device is detected in ADB run this command:
Code:
adb devices
Download the CWM Recovery for A706 from here.
Unzip the downloaded file to get a "recovery.img" recovery image file.
Press SHIFT key + Right mouse click in the folder where the file is located and select Open Command from Here.
Now, in the command prompt do the following:
a. Reboot into Bootloader mode. Use command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
b. Device will reboot and display Lenovo logo. (check if device is in bootloader mode by running command:
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you see a device connected then you have successfully rebooted into fastboot mode.
c. Now, run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(This will flash the CWM recovery image to the device).
d. Once successful, reboot the device using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Or, you can keep the power+vol up+ vol down buttons pressed to restart.
If everything has gone well, this should get CWM installed on your device. Your device is still *not rooted*. Once you have installed CWM, please proceed to the ROOT instructions post to *root* your device.

2. Reboot phone to CWM Recovery (use command: adb reboot recovery)

INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
A memory card is required.
Boot into Android normally.
Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop with a USB cable and when asked (or in USB connection settings), please select USB Mass storage mode to mount SD card.
On the root of the memory card, create a folder called "sdfuse".
Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.
Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.
Note: Please make sure that your phone has atleast 60% power before attempting or beginning upgrade. Or keep charger connected during the process.
SD card upgrade process:
Long press VOL UP + POWER_KEY to enter the droidboot,
A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.
That's it! If you guys have found any more firmware download links (even for different regions, build etc.) just share them with me along with details and I will add them to the list in this post.

scuderialoki, unfortunate that you got stuck. worked for me without any issues. i upped the same file that i used on mediafire. can you re-download the file and then check if the file is ok by extracting the zip using winrar or winzip? if it is ok then try flashing it again.

ok, please tell me if you have CWM installed on your device? I believe it is not installed. if this is the case, then you need to flash CWM and then try installing the zip again.
if it is installed then, i believe the super su from previous rooting maybe causing the problem. check on Playstore for a method to unroot your device. or google it. then you need to root again. hope this solves your problem.
thanks
Hi bro thanks for the reply i attached a screenshot of my root validation. I used an app to identify that. And by the way my recovery is installed. I the super su app is killing it

When stuck / frozen on boot (bootloop) you can always reset by holding Volume Up & Power for over 12 sec!
Carlivs Tutorial is another good, clear and complete overview of all this!
You CAN NOT dump/read your phone with the official Acer drivers (no virtual COM port)!
I now succesfully used PDANet (See Tools / Drivers), but a lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers (MT6589 VCOM, MTK Preloader etc.
The only tool (see Tools section) working after a lot of trying (!) for me was (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344, and sometimes the newest 3.1408, both icw MTK Droid 2.5.3!

ROM Installing / Updating
Basic instructions to update your phone (if not automatically Over The Air (OTA)) with a ROM ZIP using a recovery:
If you have the SP Flash Tool (see Tools), make a backup with that too
Install CWM (or any other custom recovery like Carliv's CTR or TWRP if available for E380)(see Root by Flash)
Download and unzip the ROM update (see Acer Update History and watch new posts)
Copy the FixPack-B.zip to SD card
(Re)Boot into recovery
Make a full backup in recovery (to SD)
Flash the FixPack-B.zip from recovery
Reboot & enjoy the new ROM / updated Android!
Root by flash (preferred method)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!
When stuck / frozen on boot (bootloop) you can always reset by holding Volume Up & Power for over 12 sec!
Carlivs Tutorial is another good, clear and complete overview of all this!
Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.
Also, a short (better?) version by Shreps can be found here (or check this ChinaPhoneArena one).
0) Install drivers (see Tools) with a good USB virtual COM port emulation! Most simple is to install PDANet maybe, but lot of people seem to use so called VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. Other option is the MTK USB All Developer drivers. Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use the one attached to this post.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Download CWM 6.0.5.0 by vache or Carliv Touch Recovery CTR (2.7 for JB, 3.0 for KK) (thanks to vache/Shreps for CWM, thanks to Carliv for CTR!)(or make your own by MTK Droid altering stock recovery image);
4) "Download" (to phone) the custom recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5a) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM/Carliv recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU.
5b) Te keep your custom CWM: Install SuperSU immediately after boot, and use File / Root Explorer to delete file ".. recovery .." in System folder before booting again!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)

To make Acer's drivers also recovery/fastboot compatible, add this line to your "android_winusb.inf" files in the maps in submap "drivers" (and then install/update drivers in Windows Device Manager): %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
Repartition and extend space to SD with Meteos App here or here (root required)(more partition info here)(not tested yet)

I've managed to make a backup using MTK droid and root tool. hackwerk, it seems you are getting ahead of me now can you post your recovery if it's working ? thanks !
Is it safe to install and activate Xposed framework on the E3 ?
I got a notification today about a 8.23 Mb update ! But there is no changelog anywhere and I don't want to install it yet...
Anyone got it ?

Yes I already have a datamap / scatter file (from MTK Droid) and used it succesfully to dump / backup all blocks to images (recovery.img boot.img android.img etc) on my non-rooted phone! (however USERDATA block fails in SP Flash Tool, and I do not know the end address of the ROM thus cannot dump the last block (__NODL_BMTPOOL))
Made a CWM custom recovery with the Official CWM Builder online, but the new output recovery was larger than my stock input one!?
Big problem for now, as I cannot fit it in the current recovery space?!
Xposed I do not know? However I strongly advise everyone NOT to install / run programs or apps or packages etc which are not on XDA or are closed source! There's a LOT of virussing / spying / trojanning going on in this world.
The official Acer update is only (as far as I found out);
1) Update of the build from Acer_AV052_E380_1.007.00_EMEA_GEN1 > Acer_AV052_E380_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1
2) Update of the APN version from APN 2.053 > APN 2.062
I colored the 2 changes green in my FP.
So just do it, its fine I guess, and we will get Android 4.4 Kit Kat soon anyways...
Ok, and do you think that with root I would be able to retrieve this last block ?
I can confirm that even after reboot the root is there ! I used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to make the OTA update, just to be safe and it managed after 2 restores to put back root. I don't know if it was needed.
I don't see any change with this update, just a traduction error corrected in the settings menu (flip cover wake up)...
Would be nice to have a changelog from Acer just to know !
I can also confirm that Xposed Framework is perfectly working on this phone.

Size of the last 2 partitions is now known and added but the reason it cannot be read by SP Flash Tool is that the sizes are not a multiple of 512 or so!?
Yeah baby! Great news!
I managed to install the ClockworkMod Recovery (rua1 autoCWM 5.5.0.4) made by the MTK Droid Root & Tool, and Downloading it to my phone in the older SP Flash Tool 3.1344!
After that of course installed SuperSU and we are ROOT, by a simpel/safe/clean method!
Links and stuff are in the first post.
Problems/ToDo now:
1) This CWM is removed after a normal (re)boot and replaced by the stock one (Android system recovery 3e). How!? And how to stop this?!
2) Newer CWM (6.0.4.7) like the one the online CWM Builder makes for me (altering my stock image) seems to big for the partition
3) Custom ROM making (CyanogenMod!!!), but let's wait for 4.4 Kit Kat and the sources of that, which will be available in the next months.
Data to Ext SD
We need to extend space to our external SD card, as the internal phone memory is not huge.
However I really really cannot see all differences with pro's and con's anymore between all options, so please help me!
What should we do, with this rooted stock Acer ROM (Android 4.2.2)(with EXT4 partitions and CWM recovery)?
1) Use one of the famous scripts INT2EXT, Data2EXT/D2EXT, Mount2SD/M2SD, Apps2SD/A2SD etc. etc.
1b) For INT2EXT we need Init.d support, so whats the best way to add that? An App like Init.d Toggler or Universal Init.d or so? (4.4 support would be nice!)
2) Just use simple symlinks with Link2SD/L2SD or Apps like FolderMount etc
3) Repartition and make data partition on SD, using Meteos etc
4) Use one of the many Apps to move Apps, like Titanium Backup etc.
What CAN, and SHOULD we try/use? Please advise me?
Have you already seen this behaviour of a custom recovery reverting back to stock after reboot ?
I've always used link2sd with my previous phone, so far I put my apps on sd using the android built-in option on my E3, because I haven't reached the internal storage limit yet...
Are we only 2 having this phone ?^^

From what I can see now, you should install SuperSU immediately the first time in CWM, and THEN reboot. SuperSU asks for permission for Acer system update and you should deny that. CWM will then stay. However, you could also update (to 4.4 later) and then flash the CWM again of course.
Yeah the phone is JUST released, so we are the first. Probably some more people will join in the next months!

The following are official Acer pages/links, but content IS different on all other languages/regions (so try others)!
Product page (UK)
Support page (UK)(drivers/source/manuals)
USB Driver v1.0 AV052 (do NOT work with tools (flashing and dumping etc), as you need PDAnet or VCOM drivers for that (see ROM Dump section))
Kernel Sources v20140307 (4.2.2)
Manual (ENG)(Duo)
Rooting (CWM > SuperSU)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!
Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.
0) Install drivers with a good USB virtual COM port emulation. Most simple is to install PDANet (4.15), but lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. (All the same old v 1.1123.0). Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use mine.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Let MTK Droid alter the recovery image and make a custom CWM one of it.
4) Download (to phone) the custom CWM recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU. Do it the first time in CWM, because a reboot without root REVERTS recovery to stock (safety by Acer?!)!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)

Developing / Custom ROM's
None yet, but we hope for a CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery, although this MediaTek support is not expected :crying:
But due to the fact that the E2 and E3 are almost the same (a part from the screen and cams), we hope for mods/ports of for instance:
E2 SC0RPION ROM
E2 JellyXperia ROM
E2 MIUI 5 ROM
Your custom ROM for the E3 here soon?
Kernel sources in the Official section!!!
Tools / Fixes / Hacks
Kernel sources can be found in the Official section!!!
Tools
MTK2000 is a great MediaTek-hack site with frequent updates of SP/MTK Flash Tool and more!
SP Flash Tool / Smart Phone Flash Tool (v3.1408.00)(super tool for MT65xx phones!)(new code/layout from 3.1352 up, and for recovery flash you MUST use older 3.1344 etc!!!)
MTK Flash Tool (v5.1320)(super tool for MT62xx phones!)
MTK Droid Root & Tools (2.5.3)(great tool, to create scatter (datamap) file (Succeeded! See ROM Dump section) etc.)
MTK Rom Studio (1.1.77.266)(by Linerty)
Multiple MTK (Engineer) Apps / Tools on Google Play, like Mobileuncle MTK Tools (2.9.9)
Xposed (2.5.1) Framework (modify ROM without flashing)
Titanium Backup (6.1.5.4)(backup/restore, and remove or move apps, also system apps)
SuperSU (1.94)(install via CWM to root phones etc)
BusyBox (11 / 1.22.1)
Fixes
Bad GPS fix with MobileUncle MTK Tools (or MT GPS EPO Fix)
Camerafix (by ventus00): Drag Camera app to homescreen into "App info" which brings you to "Gallery" app info. Press Force stop > Clear data. What fixed the cam was pressing "Clear defaults" under "Launch by default".
Hacks
To boot into recovery/fastboot mode, hold Volume Up while powering device on.
To make Acer's drivers also recovery/fastboot compatible, add this line to your "android_winusb.inf" files in the maps in submap "drivers" (and then install/update drivers in Windows Device Manager): %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
Repartition and extend space to SD with Meteos App here or here (root required)(more partition info here)(not tested yet)
Use external SD for apps with the famous INT2EXT script or check all options like App2SD, Mount2SD, Data2SD etc
More?
To Do / Problems
Which script/app to use for data > ext SD? See post #6 etc!
Which method to use to get init.d support?
Custom recovery ClockworkMod RUNNING (5.5.0.4 with MTK Droid) but the CWM custom one from CWM Builder online) seems to large :/
Besides the CWM, build and test custom TWRP Recovery, and Carliv Touch Recovery.
No custom ROM like CyanogenMod yet :/

Porting custom roms from Acer Liquid E2 to Acer Liquid E3 it's very simple.
All you need to do is to take boot.img (kernel) from your stock rom and then if you want I can help you to port kernel to your e3

Welcome Marco and thanks!
Our ALE3 stock boot.img and the kernel source (both still 4.2.2) are already available and I really welcome you to help us.
Although we are also very much waiting for the 4.4 Kit Kat release which is almost there (Q2)!
Ps. Is it (still) hard/impossible to get a CyanogenMod (which I LOVE and am very used to) clone running on our ALE3 (because of MediaTek MT6589?)?
Unlock
Can you tell me if any of the above will unlock my new E380 ? Or do I need to wait for a custom ROM to be ported ?
Many thanks.

I own a Acer Liquid E2 and I ported CM11 from Wiko Stairway (MT6589) to my phone thanks to some patches and libs. At the moment developers have to fix camera,bluetooth, hw acceleration and some little bugs.
I can port this roms but I haven't got a Acer Liquid E3 so I can't test them.
EDIT: I'm gonna port these kernels, but I can't upload those roms because of my bad connection
So all you had to do is to download the roms, replace my kernel in the rom and replace libs with stock libs (they are located in system/lib/modules )
Jellyxperia kernel:
https://mega.co.nz/#!8ZVHzTwJ!kQO_A9AJdLx2Mz3u1ctZ5-IhuEUZvFJOb-SxG9LuyJA
MIUI kernel
https://mega.co.nz/#!gJtQVSCQ!5IdxGHxOobBfGblp8Dd7AUM03prNScxaIudSXT5879E
Try and tell me if I succeed
As long as key features of our (ALE3) phone are not supported in custom ROMs, like camera, I will not (try to) flash/test or modify them.
I am not a developer, and I really demand basic features like making a picture
And again, maybe we should start fukkin around when 4.4 (and sources of 4.4?) are released!

What exactly do you mean by unlock? Rooting? Pattern/PIN lock? SIM / network lock?
Rooting:
See the first post (FP) / topic start (TS) if rooting is what you want and try the simple but obscure Kingo method or flash CWM and install SuperSU etc (complicated but trusted / universal method).
SIM / Network lock:
If rooted, you can install all apps (signed and unsigned) and do everything in your phone you want to, so install a SIM unlock app (OWN RISK), or use a complicated but more trusted file edit method (OWN RISK). A good app option seems to be the famous MobileUncle MTK Tools (see Tools section in FP), as it has a Permanent Unlock option for both SIMs in the Engineer Mode (MTK)!
PIN / Pattern:
A million methods via ADB, or (CWM) recovery etc, like these, but just Google man!

So you have CM11 running, but with these problems (because of the MT6589), on your ALE2?
And you did (or also) run customs SC0RPION, JellyXperia and MIUI (only/all three?) and without big problems (so I can probably use those on daily basis)?
Which one do you like best? SC0RPION seems most updated, newest and best fitting (ALE2 based), MIUI seems older and simpler, and Jelly is based on an other phone?!
I do not understand how I would be able to port them to our ALE3. Can you explain it more elaborate please?

Yes I meant network unlock (use a phone on an alternate network to that to which it is locked)
Three (UK) have kindly agreed to unlock without charge .. So I just need to root as I need to port some sideloaded apps accross from an old HD.
All the best

CM11 is still buggy on mt6589, not only on my phone.
I tried those roms and they are bugfree except jellyxperia which is not multilanguage, in fact only english and chinese.
Honestly I prefer Sc0rpion rom because of its performance/battery life.
About porting roms, you should follow these steps:
1 - Download rom you want to port
2 - On your stock rom, go to system/lib/modules and copy all the libs inside this folder on your sd card
3 - Open custom rom zip and replace custom libs (in the same folder) with your libs
4 - Now replace boot.img of the rom with the ported boot.img which I gave you (i.e. ALE3Jellyxperia)
5 - Make a backup of your stock rom, Wipe data/factory reset and flash the zip in CWM
Yesterday I forgot Sc0rpion kernel, so you can download it here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!1Fl1FKbC!-tTMxyfDJl3_GrmvnCdYywXkutZv3trvxl4XyyA_r6k

Thanks a lot but after my whole journey (see FP) I just finished configging my phone and am very happy at the moment.
I will try it later, but maybe 4.4 (will be released for us, inc kernel source) will be my next step, and I hope CM11 4.4 customly made from/for this!
How did you make these boot.img images for our ALE3 (from ALE2) btw?

I unpacked ALE2 and ALE3 kernel. Then I packed a kernel with the ramdisk of the ALE2 and the zImage of the ALE3. That's all
General information - P6000 Pro 2gb / 3gb
This is a great mid range phone, and packs the performance of larger devices such as the P8000 into a smaller profile. Ideal if you want a responsive device, but don't want the phablet bulge in your trousers.
Important:
This thread is for the P6000 Pro - not the P6000. That's a separate (older) model.

Root Information
Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems.
The P6000 Pro's stock firmware is rooted as shipped, and does not require any hacks to activate it. Just install Chainfire's SuperSU from the Google Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en_GB
Custom Recovery Information
Philz 6 recovery:
- This version includes modified kernel with working Touch screen. SD Card also supported:

CWM Custom Recovery:
- No touch or SD card support
CWM can apply software changes to the device. Unlike the stock recovery, CWM is able to entirely replace the device's primary Android operating system ("flashing a new ROM").
An unofficial version of ClockwordMod (CWM) Custom Recovery has been released by for the P6000 Pro:
http://www.needrom.com/download/cwm-carliv-6-from-hypoturtle/
Credit: @HypoTurtle, @yuweng and @carliv
Installation:
1. Install SuperSU from Google Play store
2. Install Flashify from Google Play store
3. Flash the downloaded file (CWM-P6000Pro-recovery.img) with Flashify app (Grant root rights with SuperSU when requested)
Accessing Recovery once installed:
Method 1:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Push and hold Vol Up and Power buttons together until a menu appears. It takes about 3 seconds. You should have the following options:
[Recovery mode]
[Fastboot mode]
[Normal mode]
Use the Vol Up button to scroll through the menu options, and press Vol Down to select.
Method 2:
Choose the option 'Reboot to recovery' from within Flashify

ROM Reading / Writing with SP Flash Tool:
Smartphone Flash Tool (SP Flash Tool) is a Windows application for reading and writing to MediaTek SOC powered devices.
To read or write to a specific device, you need a 'scatter file' for the correct type of CPU. The scatter file defines the memory ranges within the chip. P6000 Pro uses the MediaTek MT6753 SOC:
http://androidurdu.net/mediatek-scatter-files-download/
Instructions to read back from SP Flashtool:
1. Load the Scatter file (download from above)
2. Select the 'Readback' tab, press 'Add' to add a range
3. Double click on the row that appears in the table. Type a filename to save this memory range to (Eg. recovery.img if you're reading the recovery memory area)
4. Enter the start address and length of the section you are reading back - copy them from the scatter file.
3. Push 'Read Back' button
4. Remove the battery from the phone
5. Connect the phone to USB. No need to power it on. It will connect and commence reading. The recovery memory range took about 3 seconds to read back.
6. It will say 'Readback OK' and you will now have a img file from that memory range.

Engineering Mode:
Use the secret menu carefully.. if you don't know what you are doing... don't do it!!
On the stock 5.1 ROM, you can access P6000 Pro Engineering mode with the following code entered on the dialer: *#*#3646633#*#*
Note: This is the same as P6000.
If you are not running the stock 5.1 ROM, you can download MTK Engineering Mode from the Google Play store.
It has the available menus:
Telephony
Connectivity
Hardware Testing
Location
Log and Debugging

Manual IMEI Programming:
If you experience "can't detect SIM cards" or "can't make a phone call" error messages, you should check your IMEI code hasn't been accidentally overwritten. If your IMEI codes are not valid as can happen after flashing an image, please go through the following tutorial to reprogram your original IMEI. Your original IMEI numbers are printed on the label under the battery.
1. Enter Engineering Mode (as above)
2. Click on "CONNECTIVITY"
3. Click on "CDS INFORMATION"
4. click on "RADIO INFORMATION"
5. then to "PHONE 1" for the 1st IMEI, and write in:
AT +EGMR=1,7,"00000000000" (Replace the "zeros" with your own IMEI No.)
6. Press 'SEND AT COMMAND'
7. "PHONE 2" for the 2nd IMEI and write in:
AT +EGMR=1,10,"0000000000" (Replace the "zeros" with your own IMEI No.)
8. Press 'SEND AT COMMAND'
IMPORTANT: All typing on keyboard
Demo:
Other IMEI tools:
MTKdroid Tools 2.5.3d does not support MTK6753.
Chamelephon does not support MTK6753 (Appears to work, but corrupts the IMEI)

Good idea.
Do you have P6000 Pro? I think MTKdroid Tools would work, but I didn't try it. (see here: http://androidxda.com/backup-and-restore-imei-nvram)
Do you have any confirmation or alternative method?

I tried MTKdroid Tools 2.5.3.d tonight on my P6000 Pro. It doesn't support NVRAM download/restore from MTK6753.
So I think manual programming of the IMEI through the Engineering Mode is the only option at present. I have confirmed it is working fine.
The IMEI are printed under the battery, so no real need to "back up".

Thanks for stopping by, and for your original work on the Stagefright patches.
I guess with a little reading, you could see that @ahorntaler is someone who modified your works to suit the Elephone P6000 Pro, and gave you credit. Out of the box, the patch doesn't work. (See post 63163952) I also prefer hosting files on xda to needrom, but mirroring the authors work would have been equally bad IMO. We all appreciate your work You seem disgruntled, which I didn't intend to cause. Can I amend the post in some way that remains useful to P6000 Pro owners, but still makes you happy?

I guess with a little reading, you could see that @ahorntaler is someone who modified your works to suit the Elephone P6000 Pro, and gave you credit. Out of the box, the patch doesn't work. (See post 63163952) I also prefer hosting files on xda to needrom, but mirroring the authors work would have been equally bad IMO. We all appreciate your work You seem disgruntled, which I didn't intend to cause. Can I amend the post in some way that remains useful to P6000 Pro owners, but still makes you happy?

Modified what?
It's very well explained, the partition stuff in my thread ...
Quote from my op:
For other devices that don't use the mmcblk0p17 as /system partition:
The flash may fail, if that's your case, simply extract all the files, and push via adb to your device.

I need to update the stagefright thread with a new build btw... there's new stagefright bugs around (they are fixed on our Lp build, i need to update the thread for other devices ...)
ps: No im not pissed, i just didn't know who that guy is/was
Ps2: Nothing against you, i just really hate needrom these days,,, all the KANGers are posting "their work" there.

No lib changes judging by the file time stamps. I believe the modifications are to the updater-script, to include the correct paths.
Flashing this modified update is a lot more convenient for newbies like me
He also retains your credits in the updater script.
In the future, I agree it's better to link to your thread like you suggest, and I'll include instructions on how to modify the updater-script. That way we P6000 Pro users can benefit from future updates to the patch you release.

Hi superdragonpt,
I'm very sorry that You are disappointed. I don't want any credit for the patch. I only modified installation script to make it useable for P6000 Pro users and I wrote that the patch is not my work, but Yours. So why are You pissed? I'm only a simple user who wanted to share the benefit of Your work with others. I don't (want to) earn any Money with programming. Next time I ask You. The question is: why didn't you modify installation script? Credit would have been Yours. I wanted to be You only help.

This tool is out of date. See the main R9S thread for an updated tool by Wu Xianlin which gives you an improved TWRP recovery and access to more ROMs.
Original post is below for historical purposes only.
Oppo R9S (Chinese version) TWRP installation tool
Only works on Chinese OS release 005 which can be downloaded here and flashed in stock recovery.
Earlier versions will not work, nor will later versions. It has to be this specific version.
P̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ doesn't work on international editions either.
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.01
DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0
Changelog
1.01 - Tweaked timings to try and improve success rate
1.01 - Changed how text is output to hopefully improve appearance on Windows 7
This script uses an exploit by Chinese developer Wu Xianlin to gain temp root, then it flashes his TWRP build that works on the R9S despite the locked bootloader.
From there you can attempt to perma-root your phone, install a custom ROM etc. etc.

Antivirus issues
Some AV's may complain about this file containing a Trojan. They are technically correct. It's called "dirtycow" and is being used in the wild to hack into Linux systems. It cannot affect Windows systems, but I use it to hack a linux-based system (your phone)
If your AV refuses to let my script run you will have to disable it temporarily. Feel free to read through my script (root1.bat) to check what it is doing.
Useful things to flash in TWRP
CyanogenMod13 - by Wu Xianlin
Stock Recovery - by Wu Xianlin
GApps (ARM64) - by opengapps.org
Updated basebands, ripped from ColorOS
Use these only if you have issues with phone/GPS/etc. after installing CM. Otherwise leave alone.
[2017-01-11 v0180] - released ROM (China) - by me!
[2017-01-24 v1470] - ALPHA ROM (China) - by me!
Note: The version number on basebands stays the same, but the MD5s are different. No idea what has changed, but they work!
Unbrick instructions:
Does not work in Windows 10. Tested working in Windows 7
Download this unbrick package
Install the quallcommmtkdriver package
Run daanav-enabler as administrator
Run msmdownloadtool as administrator
Click through any timeout error you get
Click on the titlebar of MSMDownloadTool and press F6 to enable the options
Fully power down your phone by holding vol-, vol+ and power for 10 seconds
Hold vol- and vol+ while connecting the USB cable (use the stock Oppo cable)
MSM should now show your phone.
Press F5 to decide what to flash. For the first attempt choose "All except userdata".
Click the start button.
After 5 minutes your phone should reboot into ColorOS.
If ColorOS hangs on boot, then repeat the above staps and this time flash all, including userdata. This will wipe your photos etc. sorry!
This will leave you on V004 of the OS. You will need to upgrade to 005 before attempting to root again.
Can I request a version of this that stops at permanent rooting? Unless you think there would be a problem with the fact that I intend on using it on a r9s plus.
Or a link to what I maybe overlooked, in case it already exists.
Unfortunately this program doesn't perma-root. It gains a temp root and uses that to flash TWRP. TWRP can then be used to flash a custom ROM or a rooting tool.
It also doesn't unlock the bootloader. Wu Xianlin somehow managed to make a version of TWRP that the locked bootloader is happy with!
however if you edit root1.bat and scroll down to line 181. Change it from:
Code:
type root3.txt | adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
to:
Code:
adb shell /data/local/tmp/root2.sh
Then the script will just drop you to a root shell. Unfortunately you are then on your own as to how you get perma-root.
I have no idea whether this method will work on the R9SPlus. In theory it should do but I've not tried it. I won't be held responsible if you brick your phone and probably won't be able to help, though you should be able to do a three-finger reboot and then boot into recovery and reflash ColorOS.
Optional modifications you can make that will make the script neater:
You can also remove lines 178 and 179
Code:
echo Copying TWRP
adb push r9s-twrp-3.0.2.0-20170107.img /sdcard/twrp.img
and change line 184 from
Code:
pause
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
to
Code:
pause
exit
REM ---- CHINESE TWRP HELP ----
I will take your "I have no idea if this will work fo r9s+" at face value and try to be patient for something more certain, thanks for your contribution nonetheless
I saw the translation you posted and am a bit depressed Wu recommended to return the phone...
Oppo make amazing hardware but terrible software that is never updated. I used to be ok with this because they actively encouraged rooting and custom ROMs but this change in attitude from them makes it very hard to recommend the phone.
I would be interested to know if this exploit does gain root on the Plus. In theory it should work, and there's also a decent chance that TWRP will too as the hardware is very similar, but will require someone very brave/stupid to try it
BTW. Anyone who is going to try this on the Plus. Ensure you have a flashable .ozip of a working ColorOS (full install, not OTA) saved to internal storage as the stock Oppo recovery is a POS that doesn't provide ADB, MTP or USB.
If you end up wrecking your OS and don't have that image in place ready to flash from recovery you are screwed.
Likewise do not flash TWRP until you are sure that your OS is still bootable, and also take a dump of the stock recovery first! (and post it in the other thread as it's bloody useful to have!)

Hi the Unbrick pack RAR is corrupted and can not unzip.
Also there is Trojan in DOWNLOAD - R9S_TWRP.zip - V1.0 - Dirtycow file and the NOD Antivirus is deleting this file.
Please advice how to proceed ?
NOD is correctly detecting that this is a hacking tool using a well known exploit (dirtycow).
Since you actually want to do that, you're going to have to disable NOD until you're done.

Hi I got to somewhere but I am stuck now...
Please check the pic and advice how to install the CyangenMode. (I have uploaded the pic in your thread in Oppo Community forum please check it there because I am new here and can not post with external links..)
Sorry for the inconvenience. Looks like I am few steps away to finish the job but something is missing...

You need to do a wipe data/cache/dalvik as CM won't install on top of incompatible data.
Note that this will wipe your installed apps, settings, app data, saved games etc. but will not wipe your photos, music, downloads or anything else saved to internal storage.
You may wish to take a backup from within TWRP first. Apps like Titanium Backup and Nandroid Manager are reasonably good at restoring apps and data from a TWRP backup.
Also don't forget to install GApps

For the unbrick package you need 7-Zip to extract it.

`Also don't forget to install GAaps`
Hi I am on Cyanogen now !!! Thanks for the help. Can you please tell me now which is the correct gapps version for our device. I have installed random one which does not make connection with google. I have tried to install ARM 64, but cant flash because systems says that is incompatible... Thanks

Sorry for the English, I made a mess with the phone, after unlocking everything, and held the phone for several days with CM13, I saw that GPS was not working, so vovelo return to the origin, but now I can not installing Stock Recovery more to put the stock rom, I tried to do unbrick, but when I press start of msmdownloadtool, the program stops and closes. If some kind soul gives me some advice. Done everything under win 7 reset. Thank you so much Gianfranco.
GPS should be working. I'm using it all the time on CM13 as my phone is my satnav.
Maybe wipe and reflash, or try one of the baseband updates?
Sent from my OPPO R9s using XDA Labs
Now, the problem is more to do so that I can not leave,
I installed through the files Stock TWRP Recovery as a boot, and I hand the boot source and installing the original rom, after the reboot remains on oppo screen. what can I do. Thank you so much Gianfranco.
hold all three buttons for 10 seconds to forceibly power off the phone and then try to boot to recovery.
If you get the Oppo recovery then try to do a factory reset and then flash the stock ROM,
if you get TWRP then try to flash Cyanogen.
If you can't do either then you're going to have to run the unbrick tool. Do you have another PC you can try it on?
Thanks, but I have tried various solutions, when I install the boot ROM from stock, is successful, the reboot hangs installation applications. I wanted to know if you can other software for unlocking. Thank you very much for giving me some advice, thanks ancora.Gianfranco.

Hi, I have one of these devices that just won't boot at all (bricked?) I have no idea how to fix this, I have downloaded and tried to do the above without much luck, I did however get the recovery modded twrp for android 7 successfully flashed (I think) but still nothing, any assistance would be most helpful, I would be happy to allow someone to take over my pc, to see if they can figure it out, just getting it to boot up would be a start !
What happened to your phone to make it bricked?
nothing, it came that way , but I can't send it back, if i cant get it working, I'll have to take the financial hit ?
Oh man, that sucks, I'm not techi enough to offer any help.
