[Completed] very very bricked

Hello xda, I managed to brick a phone even harder then it was. The phone was stucked on android logo but the CWM recovery worked, all I had to do was to find a damn sd card and put the backup from the pc, instead I just wiped the system. Now the cwm recovery won't work, neither the bootloader. The phone is alcatel one touch idol mini aka orange hiro. I didn't find useful information about this issue so this is the reason I post it here. I really need a good advice or why not, a solution.
Thanks.

Hi there!
If your model is the OT 6012, here is a thread and a particular post that may help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49041572&postcount=124
If you can't get into recovery or bootloader tho....could be a problem. I'd ask in this thread what you might do. They know your phone best.

Good luck!!

A fellow XDA Assist teammate found a couple more useful links for you....
Chef Central > Android > Alcatel One Touch Idol Mini 6012X (aka Orange Hiro)
And sources for your device here...

[Completed] [Q] Help with custom ROM and CWM on UBIFS Phone (Lenovo A316)

Hi, recently i bought a Lenovo A316 from China.
I tried to find a custom ROM for this device, to flash with SP flash tool, but I cannot find it on all internet.
Only I have found the Stock ROM (With Chinese APPS and only English and China languages. I need Spanish).
The Stock ROM can be flashed without problems (I have made it and works)
There are a lot of upgrading ROMs in ZIP, but for this, is necessary to have CWM recovery installed.
The problem is that this device have a UBI file system and is not possible to install with MTK droid tools. (I tried but the program doesn't works with this type of file system)
The best solution will be If anybody have a custom rom (In spanish to flash with SP tools) or can port to this model other (I see there is customs ROMS of other models like A390). I also try to use the Android Kitchen but I'm newer and have not obtained any positive result.
I know that is more easy to give away this phone and buy another (my headache should cure) but I'm so pigheaded and never give up.
In this forum there are few questions about similar problems with this model but I don't see a solution at all.
Please, can somebody help me!!
Thanks

Hi,
I can find nothing relevant on XDA for your device. You will need to ask about that here,

Good luck!

Hello,
This forum is for newbies finding their way around XDA Developers, it isn't a development section.
Also there is no custom recovery yet for your device.
You may keep a watch here Miscellaneous Android Development for development related to your device. Also we would recommend to not installing other device's recovery into yours. You may end in unexpected troubles.
