Hi, im using an Iphone 6 Clones (the brand name is HDC) which has MTK6582 chipset on it.
exciting about rom porting, i found a link of Goophone official kitkat ROM, firstly, i thought that it has very similar hardware,
I've managed to flash it using SP Flash Tools. it can boot up, however the touch screen gone mad, it seems it has different calibration. However, after felt that the ROM was unusable, I've managed to revert back to my Stock ROM, however, the touchscreen problem remains the same.
Im thinking, i was accidentally flashed my touchscreen's driver or something.
does anyone here ever faced the same problem?
PS: i've found some possible answer here, but i couldn't pull my script.bin from my device, because the script can't found any script.bin on my device
sites.google.com/site/fixedandoidtouchscreen/how-to-fix
I have a similar problem on an Alcatel device, Pop D3. I haven't found a solution but i will try yours and see. Is your phone stock ROM kitkat? It may be a problem with sp flash tools.
Hi, sir,
My stock ROM is on 4.2 but, the ROM which i've tried is 4.4.. I have managed to downgrade it to the original ones, but it remains the same..

The pull script.bin program doesn't work for me either. Idk what is the problem. I think this is specifically for Allwinner chipsets though since those devices frequently get this problem. Read more here
Hi, thank you for the response, however can anyone here have idea how to see detailed spec of the hardware, so that I can find the LCD driver somewhere.
or should I use the "format+download" option on the SP Flash Tools software, so that I have clean device first and then reflash it using the stock ROM.
Best Regards.
Hello. This Alcatel Pixi 3 tablet was meant as a gift add-on to an Orange (PL) LG G4c / Spirit LTE phone.
What is really weird is that there is no such model on Alcatel's website. It seems that this version was very unpopular.
It came with Lollipop 5.0.1 onboard. On boot screen it says ALCATEL onetouch Pixi3(8). on the back there is a sticker with Model: 8070 and some other numbers, but the thing is:
I was simply being an impatient one and i wanted to have this white boy rooted so i installed newest KingRoot. And it worked!
But then I've seen there's an app that does the magic and replaces kinguser with supersu. And it was called 'SuperSU Me', kind of.
Unfortunately it must have been a very old version (i tried the newest on my phone and it comes in two stages so it's different). After using it i don't remember if I ran su binary update but i think i did and then reboot. And of course it all went wrong after that.
It was stuck at the Alcatel boot animation, repeating itself endlessly. And instead of looking for solution i did something else. I went to the bootloader mode (vol+ and power) which lets you go into recovery or fastboot and i went to recovery. Where it actually says Android system recovery <3e> with additional line saying LRX21M and options apply update from ADB, sdcard, cache and some others.
So here's what I did: at first I wiped cache partition and then I wiped data ('wipe data/factory reset'). And this is mess.
There is no Alcatel animation, no more. Now it won't go further than this boot screen and it would just display this ALCATEL onetouch Pixi3(8) logo until it runs out of battery power. So i guess, that's my first bricked device for being naughty and too greedy to have some rooted stuff happening.
Please, is there any hope? Help?
Same Problem with Alcatel Pixi 3 (10) Model:8079!!!!
You might be able to restore ROM using Mobile upgrade tool from Alcatel. Or you can flash it with phone flash tool.
Hi @dam85 I found and downloaded "Mobile Upgrade S" tool from Alcatel's server directly (v4.2.8) but I cannot make the tool detect this Pixi 8070 model. The main Alcatel site doesn't have this model, so I got their tool from the Pixi 3 (8) 3G page. However, not sure what is missing as there seems to be a driver needed for the Alcatel tool to detect the table. Any idea? This 8070 model apparently uses quad-core MediaTek MT8127 processor.
I have purchased this device from a local shop, not via operator. Model is "TCL" and "8070" in the menus.
@Bethain: I had a friend who had to wipe and re-install the ROM on an Alcatel D5 phone, due to some boot loop like yours; and he was able to do that using the Alcatel Upgrade tool. Please try this and let us know how you did it and more importantly, which drivers you used on Windows! Thanks and good luck.

It's true that this model is buried for some weird reason. You can't find anything specific for this model (pixi 3 (8) wifi), only for the 3g edition that is totally different hardware if I remember correctly.
I can suggest another option. I've managed to read back the stock rom from mine. I could send it to you and you can try to flash it with SP flash tool. If you're interested, pm me and I'll guide you.
Hi @dam85 thank you for posting back, it's great to hear that someone managed to work on this.
For the sake of information with others, can you kindly share info on the tools, versions (and if not asking too much, links here in XDA) that you used to extract the ROM? There's tonns of crap on the internet and some confusing driver versions found here, too...
I was battling with MtkDroid Tools 2.5.3 but I think I've installed the wrong VCOM driver, not sure if it supports the device (MT8127 processor) or perhaps I am doing something wrong.
The official Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S (v4.2.8 that I've installed) has a generic "One Touch Pixi 8" entry as you can see in the screen shot but I get some error when trying to connect my device. This is supposed to allow a download of an image to re-flash Alcatel devices... Perhaps this tool isn't compatible, as you say.
I have contacted Alcatel asking for support....
I haven't rooted nor I want to mess with that. Just wanted to make a safe backup of the current ROM. When I entered (official) the Recovery menu of the device (POWER + VOLup) there wasn't any entry in the options to "dump" the ROM on the SD, unfortunately.

I'll post a mini guide later on how I did it. Also, I'd like to see a user with a bricked pixi to try and flash back the ROM to see if it can be revived!

Yeap. I tried this one too, with vcom drivers up and running, but nothing happened. Maybe we'll have to wait for an update.

Just to make it clear. There is no way to dumb the rom with droid tools or sp flash tool without root. The most easy and safe way to root this tablet is with Kingroot v4.5. It's safe to use because there is an option for unroot inside the app (I've done it several times, it works flawlessly).
I am having the same exact issue and followed the same steps as you to get into this mess! Only difference is i am on a onetouch Pixi 7 i got from tmobile for free. Were you ever able to flash it back to stock and can you tell me how you did it if you were successful?

Hi @waldosdad I suggest you try obtaining the official Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S software from their site, this will hopefully download and restore your device. Please kindly post details on your model, CPU, which drivers you eventually managed to make work, on which Windows, etc.

There's no ROM available for flashing except whatever backups private people do... Haven't found custom recovery either... I personally haven't rooted my Pixi 3 (8) to avoid that exact issue...
IMPORTANT EDIT:
I was browsing through the downloads section of Alcatel One Touch and found that for some reason, they have released more versions of the same "Mobile Upgrade S" for some other devices, rather than keeping a unified version across all platforms/tablets/products.
For example, found versions v4.3.0, or v4.4.1 in other devices, which could imply "newer" database or detection, inside Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S. As @dam85 told me, there may need to be a newer version of this proggie to detect Pixi 3 (8) -- will try it soon...

Καλησπέρα @spithash, I suggest you try backing up your ROM now that you've rooted it, as @dam85 did already, as there's no ROM available for flashing back in case of bricking... I personally haven't rooted yet. If you manage to install proper Windows drivers etc. please let us know what you used i.e. SP Flash Tool, Mtk Droid Tools etc. Thanks!

So, i made a backup using MTK Droid Tools.
Is there a known way to flash a custom recovery on this device?
If i hit Recovery and Boot button in MTK Droid Tools it gives me this error: ERROR :Not read Block: bootimg
Yes

You can flash it with SP flash tool. Read all my post first and then act.
Open the app, hit "scatter-loading" button, choose your droid tool-creater scatter file with the name of the cpu mt8127 (make sure you have the exctracted rom backup with it), then wait a few secs till the app done loading the files, check if the check boxes are checked and loaded with the appropriate image files as shown in the image.
Leave any unchecked box as is. Make sure to rename factory_NONmodified_recovery.img to recovery.img before doing the above process, or else the program won't load it automatically.
Then, press the green download arrow and connect the device switched off and the process will start automatically.
I can't guarantee the success of the process because I haven't try it yet, but I know that this process is correct for this type of devices.
So, you can take the risk if you want (if it's bricked already, you won't have anything to lose I guess) and you can give as feedback.

i managed to create a scatter file from the firmware.info from backup using MTK Rom Studio but it doesn't seem right:
Edit: It gives me the same scatter file if i add the 8127.

Hi all,
First of all: i am new here. And sorry for my bad English.
I have here a Voyo Q901HD with a new digitizer. Everything works fine but there is one problem. The whole touchscreen is inverted... I have tried everything... Change the system.prop, searching for flash again (but there is no firmware to found), reboot, reset.. But nothing helps...
More information about the Voyo Q901HD can you find here: http:*//*en*myvoyo.com*/chanpin*/pingban*/336.shtml or www*gearbest.com*/tablet-pcs/*pp_266237.html [remove the wildcards]
There is no defective with the digitizer: it works perfect and smooth but only in the wrong direction. There should be a possibility to change it correctly in a configuration file? I hope someone can help!
Thanx for helping and kind regards
Also the 'script.bin' is no option! Is not found on the tablet...
Ok, the problem is now totaly different. I tried to install a custom mod what maybe can fix the problem. I have WDM recovery installed. I have yet CWM recovery installed. The only thing that works... When i try to install a custom mod i receive error 7. But when i recovery my original image where i have make a backup from it does also not work... The backup maked with Smartphone Flashtool and MTK Droid Tool hangs on a sometimes flashing ANDROID logo on the screen... I use the Scatter file inside the image.
Hi @haajee86
I have that same Tablet that died on me !
the tablet is on a logo bootloop and there is no info or download tools for this 4G version of the tablet on VOYO site
So i would like to ask you if you are able to send me the stock rom ? or extract it from your tablet ?
i really appreciate it.
Thanks
Yes you can extract rom from tablet using MTK droid tools,then upload to needrom.com and i can modify parameter for you.
So I got this cheap cell phone on Ebay for $50 (Sky Devices Elite Octa 5.5 with MT6753). It has great specs for that price. However, I'm now paying for it as I can't root the device.
I've tried one click tools but none of them worked. So now I'm asking the XDA community hoping that I can get some pointers.
I've found various tutorials online but they've all come to a dead end. If you find one that you think I should try, please let me know and I'll check it out.
I tried contacting the OEM but they were d-bags and refused to provide stock ROM or scatter file. Which makes me want to root it even more!
The furthest I got was I can dump about 2 GB from the device's memory to a raw file on my PC using SPF (Smart Phone Flash) Tool. One of the tutorials I found is here:
https://cmflare4guides.wordpress.com/2016/08/25/how-to-create-spft-rom-dump/
The Instructions section works but the Continuation section does not. In MTK Droid Root, the button "To process file ROM_ from FlashTool" is disabled and I can't click it.
Any ideas?
I can unlock the boot loader.
I think what I need to do is:
- "extract" the ROM that I downloaded via SPF Tools into various partitions (no idea how though)
- mount the partitions as a loop back device in Linux
- modify some file that will disable permissions on the device (allowing me to install SuperSU)
- "package" the modifications back to some ROM image
- upload the image to the device
However, I currently can't figure out what to do with the ROM_FULL that I downloaded from the device using SPF Tools.

Ey mate!,,hope you're doing good.. lucky I finally found your post over here. I kinda bricked that same phone when I been tryna flash a custom rom on it.

but then things got wacky the moment I flashed a custom rom and now it can't even boot into any mode ,..almost scanned the whole web for its firmware but dang!, couldn't find it anywhere. If u still have that Sky Elite 5.5 Octa thing.. or the ROM,please do help a brother man, I am so in need of it...
