Vodafone smart II/Alcatel v860 Reocovery !ROOT!

Here is recovery for Vodafone smart II
I came across it if needed .
Download put it in the root of your sd card turn off your phone.
then turn the phone back on hold volume + power
once the phone vibrates let go of power key keep holding volume + button
and it will boot into recovery
select install zip from sd card
flash the file and you will have root.
I have Also attached the fastboot drivers for alcatel if anyone needs it .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For people who are testing Custom roms if you bricked your phone follow this other guide for bringing most alcatel back from the dead .
use your own recovery.img
To enter fastboot:
turn your phone off then
Power off the device and holding the power and volume down keys. Your phone will now be in "fastboot" mode.

you can flash other roms if you want to test ! BE CAREFULL flashing other non compatible rom can brick your phone.Unless of course you know what you are doing.
use stock italian rom below to restore.

If you need the device driver (adb) here: http://mir.cr/PHT9ZNLJ
bye

That driver it is original driver from SD card, in my case with phone bricked and blocked with android image on screen did not helped to be recognized by PC and install for hw detected as: VID_0A5C&PID2132.
Here you have part of backup from a brand new phone Vodafone Smart 2 before I bricked:
.android_secure.img
boot.img
bootloader.img
recovery.img

did you fix your phone yet ? flash the recovery.img via fastboot to restore.

No I did not succed because I don't have the driver for VID_0A5C&PID2132 and sw for 860 to flash it.
I tryed to edit original files from SD card and installed with error device not started but that driver did not worked, at connection PC I get error, phone it is not detected by sw you posted for ALCATEL OT-980 /OT-981 recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144773
Look like it is required alcatel service program for V860 that is able to flash the phone when connected at USB.

If I remember corect I think I killed the phone sw because I use update with CWM.zip instead to use install CWM.zip...
CWM started, but did not made backup and at reset phone was bricked with android image on screen at power on.

worked!

someone has already found the "stock rom" ??

Sorry I can not seem to make the root, which file should I put in the sd? I put the file but when I go into recovery superuser.apk alcatel 1.0.0.0.1 that file does not work
help me please?

can you make a full backup (from recovery) and post here?
you have to put the file in the root of SD and do a "install ZIP from sdcard" (don't use install update.zip)

I did a backup a while ago and it seems to be in sd card in a folder called <<alcatel-onetouch(1)>> it contains 10 files with .img extension and one with .md5

it's a "clean vodafone" backup? (factory settings, no app removed, no root) ?
can I flash in my phone via recovery?

I have a clean backup from Vodafone Smart 2 phone if you need it, phone was newer turned on with SIM card inside.
The only problem it is lenght of the archive ~300Mb and because I don't have any account on any upload sites ( and don't want to have one ) you have to tell me exactly how to send it to you, I will not send by email, use PM for details.

[Q] How to ROOT?HOW TO DOWNGRADE?

I have canvas 2 which already had jelly bean when I bought it.It is NOT ROOTED currently. I bought it from snapdeal. I have 32 bit windows 7. I researched alot on the internet, Nothing happened. I read many tutorials on xda developers. Still no use. I want to get back to ICS(ice cream sandwich) and then root it. There was a tutorial on how to downgrade from jb to ics in xda. I tried it. When i put in clockworkmod and do it, and then reboot my phone in recovery mode, there are options like restore data, backup data. I went in restore but nothing happens.I also tried mobileuncletools and selected the recovery image, it says that you need to root first. I also tried the flash method, but again, I have driver problem on my pc. When I choose scatter loading and firmware-->upgrade then insert my mobile without battery or sim card through usb cable, the usb sounds keep popping and nothng happens. After sometime, the flash tool says error. and the green circle doesnt appear. So to downgrade, I need to root. To root I need to flash which I can't. Someone please HELP!!!!!

[Q]Help: Can't change custom rom

Hi,
I am new to this site and fairly new to rooting and stuff and need assistance with my Sony Xperia S (LT26i). If i am not in the right pace for this please point me in the right direction. I have installed a custom rom and custom recovery which let me upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.3 which was working fine then when I flashed a different custom rom after that to get 4.4.1 I lost access to my custom recovery. The main issue is that I need help with changing the custom rom I have installed, for some reason I can no longer boot into TWRP or CWM (using power + vol up), the phone simply boots normally and skips the whole process therefore I cannot flash anything. I have looked for hours over the net on how to get into recovery but could not find a solution.
I also assumed that when installing custom recovery and custom roms that you would need to be rooted but when I check with Root Checker it says that I am not. So any assistance would be great

Here is 4.0.4
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetLThpYzEwZUh5aTg/edit
steps:
how to install the newest Android 4.0.4 for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
a) first of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need this tutorial)
b) download and install latest Flashtool from here (mirrors Google Drive or Mega)
c) download also latest Android 4.0.4 (mirror) for Sony XPERIA S LT26i
d) paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool
e) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
f) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
g) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
Here you got 3 ways to update good luck

Ok so I successfully downloaded the firmware file but I got an error when using the flash tool, I have attached the log if you can maybe help me out with what went wrong.

The clue's in the error message - you don't have the required drivers installed.
There's a directory named "drivers" under the main flashtool dir. Run flashtool-drivers.exe and install the appropriate drivers. I think "Common Drivers Viskan Board" is the one you need. I ended up installing all of them to get it to flash (which took ages).

Ok so I got it to work, all I had to do was hold down the vulumn down button for like an extra 5 seconds while it began to flash
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

Hello again
So I have successfully rooted the device and installed TWRP but as before I cannot seem to get into the recovery mode, when I boot the phone with "power and vol +" it doesn't boot into recovery but instead there is a quick glimpse of what I think is the recovery mode (I cant actually see it but something happens for a split second) but it flashes past way too fast then goes to the normal Sony logo and continues booting normally. I have tried this like at least 20 times in the last 2 weeks and have researched other ways to boot into recovery but I can't seem to find anyone with an answer. Do you know what could fix this? Or is there a way to boot into recovery using a computer?

[Resolved] Rooting Lenovo a850+(chinese)

So I have tried almost all the rooting guides in the internet, from one click apk's, one click pc apps. And had no luck. I have tried flashing CWM using SP flash tool and MTK droid tools but when I flash it, it doesnt change the recovery. Psneuter doesnt work either, it just says "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)".
.
.
Oh btw Ragnarok Onlineath of heroes doesnt let me play, it detects that my phone is rooted? I run Root Checker but it says it is not rooted. Hmm.
.
.
My device i think is china phone because all the manuals and the words on the charger is Chinese. (also the stock recovery)

I used unlockroot and I got the Root Shell but it isnt fully rooted yet. I tried mounting /system to rw but it says, "read-only file system", i cant push su/busybox to /system. Anyone know what can I do?

Try Kingroot apk.

Unfortunately, I already tried kingroot (also the desktop ver.), tbh, I tried it again and it didnt work. I tried both Version 4.1 and 4.52 apk's
---------------------------------------
That aside, I can now access CWM through MTK Droid tools. But I have no idea what to do next...... Anyone can tell me?
I tried flashing Supersu flashable zip but nothing happenned. I'll try it once more, with another version just to make sure. I'll surely update this thread by then.
Oh wait. Im thinking of doing a factory reset cos I might have done a wrong move causing my device to be hard to root. And Im sorry for being a noob at this >_<

The fastest way through BaiduRoot

BaiduRoot didn't work too. Though I only used the desktop version, cos the apk wont install, it says "parsing error", I redownloaded it too, to be sure its not a broken download.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, I done factory reset now, but nothing really worked. I reflashed flashable zip of supersu, it completes, but no supersu appears, I used ver.2.52... I'm losing hope now. Someone pls..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
supersu asks to update binaries, when I choose CWM/TWRP, nothing happens, it doesnt go to recovery/cwm. when i choose normal recovery, it just closes.
s16.postimg.org/3nvgadmw5/Lenovo_A850.jpg

try vroot.
what is your firmware version? custom recovery stand?

vroot says "root successed", i reboot, and it is still not rooted (by root checker) same as desktop version.
I'm not sure what's the firmware ver.
this?

or this?
a850+_S119_140311

custom recovery, I used MTK droid tools + SP flash tool (readback) to generate a CWM for my device. I cant access it via VolUp key+power though. I can only access via MTK droid tools.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vroot, i meant iroot. or should I try vroot? (lower version?)

press both keys volume and power button on the device - what would go custom recovery
---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------
on the forum 4pda root receive through BaiduRoot 4.2.7

Baidu root apk did not work, says root failed and I used desktop baidu root, it didnt work either.
When I press both volume key and power button, it goes to stock recovery(it is in chinese). I could only go to custom recovery (CWM) via MTK Droid Tools. (reboot button>...into recovery)

sew firmware through Flashtool
instruction in Russian

Thank you! I flashed it just now. And it worked!
But one last question. I can't connect on my VPN app, Psiphon. It doesn't ask for permission, there's no "trust this app" popup. Though I can connect through force root Tunnel. Before I flashed, it was working. Thanks again.
-----------------------------
I flashed another ROM, I think that ROM has a bug on VPN dialog.

Can't Install 03-15-2016 OTA Update

Not sure if anyone else got the notification from Blu's "Wireless Update" tool about the update they released for the Pure XL. I didn't see any posts here about it. I'm currently unable to install the update, I keep getting this message about that "my system is damaged." And when I try to manually apply the downloaded update it fails.
I unrooted my phone, flashed the stock recovery, and even factory restored the phone. Short of reflashing a stock ROM I'm not sure what else to do to try and apply this update. I'd rather just wait for a Cyanogenmod ROM at this point than waste my time doing that. Anyone have any other ideas?

You must also flash the stock boot and stock system then do a factory reset and it will let you install the update. Same thing happened to me last night and I finally figured it out. You can find the stock boot, stock recovery and stock system images in the development thread.

Maybe it could have been a change made to the system by a 3rd party root application/xposed module you had installed prior to factory resetting (if you had any)?
That's all I can think of. If nothing else works, then you can just leave it be if you don't want to reflash stock ROM. The update is just to fix some bugs, so unless you were experiencing any of the issues listed in the update notes, you don't really need it.

I believe you can flash them through fastboot and believe me the update is worth it. When you have a blu phone you take any update you can get lol.

They are on page 23 of the development thread on this blu pure XL forum and you can either flash them through fastboot or flash them via SP flash tool using the gionee e8 or condor alure scatter text which both of those can be found in the development thread.

Hey all, I am sorry if this has been gone over before but I am getting an error when attempting to flash system.img through fastboot.

You can try to flash your system.img using SP Flash Tool instead of fastboot. If you don't already have it, you can grab a copy, along with the scatter file for the phone from the Gionee E8 ROM (It's the Chinese variant, but specs and partition scheme are the same).
Make sure to deselect everything first (this is important, as you only need to flash system.img, and nothing else) and click the box under "location" for the "system" row to browse for your own system.img to flash (otherwise you'll accidentally flash parts of the Gionee phone to your phone)

how do you flash the system? i used fastboot to flash recovery and boot ,but when i try to flash system it give me error like the "target max download size..." is there other way to flash system.img?

I don't want to be that guy, but just a thought: Would it be too much to aggregate this information in a thread?
ALL BLU IMAGES, ROOT PROCESS, NECESSARY ROOT FILES
Or something. It seems really stupid to just constantly tell people oh, hey, lol it's on page 13 good luck. Just set up a master post and link this stuff. Hell, if I find some time I'd do it.

I too had the same issue. I looked a bit through the app and I was able to retrieve a list of all files it compares when determining if the system is "damaged".
It seems their update app checks the sha1 hash of certain files versus expected hash.
I have attached a log file from their update app which contains a list of all the files it checks (and their expected hashes).
The most important line is:
2016-03-30 02:51:15=======FotaUpdate: FotaUpdatenPackageUnzipAndCheck, checkResult = install-recovery.sh$libart-compiler.so$libart.so$libart.so$
This is a list of all files (split by '$') that do not match the expected hash.

I formated internal sd, removed sdcard1 and flashed recovery and system imgs and when the device is updating on the recovery it says "Error" with the droid and the exclamation red sign, what else can i do ?

Figured out how to update the phone
Flashed Stock BOOT and RECOVERY with Fastboot
Flashed Stock SYSTEM with SP Flash Tool
Data/Factory format including Internal Storage
Update without errors!

Recovery and Boot (from page 23 development) flashed fine but when I flash the extracted system.img I get "load_file: could not allocate -1283457024 bytes Error: cannot load 'system.img'" I tried restarting fastboot but have not gotten past this error. Any ideas?

Flash everything through SP flash tool it's just easier. Open SP flash tool click on scatter file, load the gionee e8 scatter file. Once that is done click on the top check mark to deselect all the fields. Double click on boot field and load stock BLU boot image, double click on recovery field and load stock BLU recovery image then double click on system and load stock BLU system image. Shut your phone off, plug your USB cable into your computer and hit download on SP flash tool. Now hold volume down on your phone while plugging your USB cable into the phone, you will see a red line for a few seconds at the bottom of SP flash tool. The line will then turn yellow and start counting the percentage of the flash. Once it has finished you will get a green check mark that says successful or something like that. You can then unplug your phone do a factory reset. Then once you go through all the start up stuff you can do the OTA update with no problems. SIDE NOTE: I lost my IMEIs doig the factory reset so make sure you have them written down somewhere in case you lose them and need to re-input them. There are Google videos on how to do that.

You should probably be working with the stock system image that you downloaded from this forum and the scatter file called "MTK6795_Android_scatter.txt". Try re-downloading either or both the stock system.img or the Gionee E8 firmware if you want to be sure that that isn't the issue first.
If you are still having issues, try to download and use USBDeview to uninstall every device that has to do with MediaTek, then plug in your Pure XL and boot it up to allow your computer to reinstall those devices.
Assuming you're on Windows, if that doesn't work, when you boot up your phone while it's plugged into your computer, try checking the MediaTek port that has "PreLoader" in its name (I forgot the exact name) that shows up under "Ports (COM + LPT)" in Device Manager. If you see it show up with an exclamation mark and it's Device Status in its Properties say something like "cannot start (error 10)", you may have to restart your Windows without Driver Signature Enforcement.
