I have a kyocera zio that I bricked a while back, I have been looking around on the web and I have already downloaded the android SDK and I this is what I can do with command prompt so far.

I cannot get any other commands to do anything, well I dont know how to use them yet, I already have the cricket_zio.rar that I downloaded from megaupload. Is there anyone that can help me bring this phone back to life?
I have also found that I can put files like boot.img system.img and even update.zip into the SDK\tools folder and do fastboot flash boot boot.img and I was able to change my boot image from just being the regular kyocera boot screen to a blank boot screen, I can still access fastboot and fota update and the test pattern button combos.
If anyone could get the files for the cricket zio boot.img and system.img and the userdata I should be able to do something to get this phone running again and help some others that have been struggling to get this phone working again.
Same place
Im in the exact same place as you are. I did the fastboot flash:raw boot and used some img files I found online and now the phone is just looping, before it would at least give the kyocera logo. Have you found anything on this?
Im having the same problems as you guys...any luck?
So I'm a noob and have installed the SDK and got the path put in so fastboot can load. then it pops up, runs a bunch of script and disappears. I cannot find ANYWHERE to read and figure out how to fix this so I can get ROM manager up and running. Hopelessly lost. Please help
This is what I get when I try to run the update. My phone only flashes and I can only get to fastboot on my phone. I can't do anything else
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools>fastboot update
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.img'
error: update package missing system.img
This is the most messed up android I've ever had. I can't get it past the fastboot screen. I did successfully reflash it to it's stock android os, but when I had failed to flash it to a custom rom, it screwed up again...but this time, I can't get it back to it's stock state even though I have done the same step I took when I reflashed it the first time. I'm having the same problem as everyone else. Why doesn't anyone know how to get past this? I wonder if it has something to do with sprint seeing that the cricket version don't seem to have this problem.
ANSWER
The real question is....WHY would you want to unbrick a cricket zio ROFL. Possibly the worst carrier/phone combination ive ever heard
I have to post here because I am new and cannot post in the development section.
I was using the root method in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173. I have firmware .30 which people have confirmed this method works on. When trying to push the recovery image using "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img" it just shows a list of commands:

There is no option for -i. I tried just "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and I get this :
c:\Recovery1>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
< waiting for device >
And it just stays there. All drivers are current. Device is unlocked. The tablet is in fastboot mode. Any help would be appreciated.
Ok, solved the problem. For some reason the fastboot.exe I was using was a different version? It was the one from the tools folder in the SDK directory (971k). I used the one from tools-platform (138k) and worked like a charm.
Mods feel free to delete this thread.

Have you read the General and the Dev forums before to post here.
I think not completely.
Because if you had read correctly, you would have seen that there is a small guide to install and use Fastboot simply
Here : [GUIDE] Help for flash more faster when you use Fastboot Line Command in this index that everybody can read.

I have faced the same issue in the past with our device...Use adb side load... If it doesn't work, its most likely that your partitions are corrupted so you will have to reflash the stock firmware and then flash the recovery and repeat the ROM flashing procedure....

I have not yet rooted my phone and would like to make a pre-root backup but have no idea how that would be done. I don't know much when it comes to developing. Is it actually possible to create a backup without root?

Yes, just boot on TWRP (read only mode) and backup as usually

Would I need to do that via fastboot or could I flash it with Flashify? Sorry for all the questions, I don't have much experience in this area.

You must do it through fastboot. Reboot in bootloader and boot into TWRP. Have a look to unlock and root thread. It's explained how root using TWRP. Do the same, but don't flash SuperSu, just perform backup

Look at the example. There is a space both before and after the -i
Bootloader won't show
I followed the procedures to enter boot-loader but my phone will not do.
Here is the procedures I have followed through (the red text is where it fails)
Get/install Alcatel USB driver if Windows. (no need for Mac). FROM HERE, or just connect your idol3 to the computer and from the phone select "cd rom" drive..it will install the drivers automatically
download the root zip from my GOOGLE DRIVE and unzip it.
Set USB debugging on in Developer settings (if these are not exposed, go to Settings/About Phone/Build number, and tap 7 times.)
Plug in USB cable to phone and computer. Tap on USB icon in notifications panel; select MTP (file transfer) mode.
Open command prompt in direcotry where you have the unzipped files (when using windows in the direcotry hold shift and press the right button on the mouse, it will pop-up a window where you have to select "open command promt here" and type "adb reboot-bootloader" to reboot into bootloader

I am trying to offer my TWRP backup to the following forum
All that appears is this frozen screen on the phone and when I try to use command prompt to detect if any devices are currently connected, nothing shows ("fastboot devices" & "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" are both not stating any devices)

That IS the bootloader, IsaacEncinas. Unlike other devices, like the Nexus ones I know, this bootloader screen doesn't look like anything. It seems like it's stuck somewhere, but it's not. That threw me off at one point, too. Use fastboot commands from that screen to see if, in fact, you're there.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices
Then, if you get something returned, try booting into TWRP using fastboot.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3.img
This assumes that you have the TWRP image present in the Windows directory where your command line is.
Well like I said, I tried the following commands that you have stated including "fastboot devices", nothing was given in return. Shall I fall through with the commands hopes of a return? I highly doubt it would work though since it was not being detected.
EDIT:
So i skipped and ignored trying to find why the device did not get detected. I went ahead and applied the following code.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3.img
and it worked! Thanks!

RodrigoIsaac, there's lots of talk all over this forum about exactly this subject. You need to revert to stock to take the OTA. Then, you can root again. Read through the topics for plenty of detail.

Cant find device?
Im trying to do whatever I can, when I open command window at the unzipped folder and type adb reboot-bootloader, it starts but right after a second it says: "error: device not found" I cant figure out whats wrong, I put the usb debugging mode, turned on the drive, installed the drivers, switched to file transfer mode, and it still says "device not found", I have the Alcatel Idol 3 5,5i 32gb dual sim version without an SD card slot. Please help!
