[Q] Is my Android phone dead?-- Help!

I don't want to make a really long post so I'll get straight to the point:
I own a rooted ALCATEL OT-991d. So today I was scrolling through App Manager when I saw Google Services Framework. So the thing is, after the root, my phone started having errors I didn't have before. My download notifications in the System UI from the Browser and Google Play wont vanish. I'll press clear and after a time it's all going to vanish but after a few minutes or after I open Google Play it just goes back again.
So here's the problem: I thought that Google Services Framework was the culprit (I know that was very stupid of me. Now I know what it is for) so I deleted it. Actually I hesitated and cancelled the operation but it was too late. So I tried looking the solution up, but to no avail. I downloaded 3 types of the said Framework but it wont install. I kept on getting the "Application Not Installed" Error.
So now I did a Factory Reset. So everything worked fine, except for the Setup Wizard. I was able to set the language and such but when I came to the "Set Up Google Account" part, it kept of crashing (because Google Service Framework is already gone) thus a fruitless loop. Now I can't even use my phone at all 'cause I can't bypass the freaking Setup Wizard.
Any tips? I can't buy a new phone at the moment so I'm at my wits end here.
I'm sorry for the long post and if I violated anything, it's because I'm quite new here.
My phone is on Android 2.3.6. I didn't have a chance to check the baseband etc. 'cause I never knew this would happen. But if you guys need it I can check my sister's device since we have the same phone. Thanks!

Update
Okay I found a solution..
I want to install a new ROM but I don't know how. I downloaded something like an Android 2.3.6 ROM and when I try to install it it says the signing failed blah blah. Help? Do I have to wipe the phone of its stock ROM?
Can anyone provide me with a working ROM for Alcatel OT-991d? Stock ROM's fine.
Thanks!

When it says zip verification failed its because you need to install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or TWRP in order to flash custom ROMs
And Mate, Always do some searching before asking a question! There's already a guide on xda-developers teaching how to flash the stock ROM on Alcatel OT-991d
Anyway, I hope your phone works! Good luck

Ah yes, my bad. I only learned of Clockworkmod after I posted this thread. Sorry

Ah yes, I did check that thread. It was just for bricked phones.
I was able to fix it. I updated the ROM. I used Alcatel Upgrade S for it. :victory: The sad part is now I have to start all over again 'cause I had to perform a hard reset and I wiped the old ROM.
Lesson Learned: Never delete Google Services Framework

Whatever, the problem is resolved. I just fastboosted the phone to flash the latest version of cyanogenmod. There was no point rooting the phone anyway and It was a bad part of me to try to flash it via recovery mode.

can you tell me how to do this?

The update is failing for a reason. What is your current version? What version is the update you're applying? Do you have any modifications to your current setup at all?

I think the best idea for you is to start from scratch. Unlock the bootloader (if it isn't already unlocked), install TWRP recovery, then install Calkulin's stock rooted 38R ROM. From there you should have no problems receiving further updates.

normal people and incorrect e-footer
Hi guys. I'm trying to flash the rom on a galaxy S4 to get rid of bloatware and free up memory. It's been a bit of a learning curve. I softbricked the machine and rescued it with odin but of course that is a stock rom and not what I want. EVERY CUSTOM ROM I HAVE TRIED ABORTS INSTALL DUE TO FAILED SIGNATURE VERIFICATION. incorrect e-footer or whatever. Does anybody KNOW how this is caused? Why are files not being copied bit for bit?
I want to say first that I have done a fairly thorough search of your archives to no avail. That is because most related threads are *****ing about the threads or the personalities involved along with mixtures of real and perceived breaches of this sites code of conduct and etiquette in general. I am not interested in any of that. Neither do I want to hear from the guy who danced widdershins round a cauldron waving his phone in the air telling me it fixed it for him. Please, can somebody that knows reply? Once I know the why I hope to fix it with a binary file editor. If somebody knows the why and the "how to fix" even better.
many thanks

You're in the wrong section, this is the OnePlus One section. You need to find the S4 section and ask there.

This is hopeless. My comments about moderation have met more moderation. Apparently this is the type of site that likes to flood its own archives with spam. goog on ya Anyways there seems to be little or no evidence that the verification problem is device specific. quite the opposite in fact. Maybe somebody that KNOWS will respond. i'll give it a week and see

We have device sections for a reason. Each device has its own quirks, requirements, and problems. It's important for you to post in the right place because then you'll be able to get assistance from people who are familiar with your device and those quirks, requirements, and problems that come with it. There's Q&A section for your phone, that's where you need to be addressing the problem you're having. I'm not moderating you, I'm trying to help you get the help you need. Posting in the wrong device section isn't going to achieve that. If you drive a Ford you wouldn't post in a VW forum for help, the same logic applies here.

The other things I'm noticing are...
1. You are in sideload mode when trying to push the rom.
2. There is a space between the filename and .zip (this is ok if that is the actual name of the file, can you copy and paste the filename or a screenshot of the file?)
When you push the file you should be on the main recovery screen not sideload.
Paging @Heisenberg you know more about Bacon then I do ...am I even in the ballpark with my advice?

Your best option is probably to just use fastboot to flash the stock images to your phone, have a look at section 8 of my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
@BD619, your advice is good! I personally just prefer to use the stock images over using sideload.

I was an HTC guy until I got this phone, I'll never go back now, too much screwing around needed to get an HTC unlocked.

Can all of this be done on a Mac using these folders? Where there is an .exe file in a folder, is there a Mac equivalent?

You can still use adb and fastboot on a Mac. Just Google search for a guide on how to install it on a Mac.

First, you posted in the wrong section! This section is for development projects.
Also, have you installed a different version of CM12s? The zip is not flashing because it sees a modification to the firmware you're running, or it's a bad download .

Here try this, flash cyangen's recovery and try updating again. I don't know if that will do anything but it's worth a try!

It was told a zillion times. Either cyanogen recovery or download the full rom update instead of the delta OTA (full can be flashed via TWRP).

Look around the oneplus forums, I had the same problem. I managed to find the file and flash it with twrp without having to do the whole rom. The battery got better along with touch screen fixes

Trying to upgrade Tab 2 7" GT-P3113

OK, this is the first time I have tried something like this, so please excuse any newbe questions..
Ok First I tried to root my P3113 and it looks like it completed correctly, but when I test it with Root Checker and it says that it is it is not rooted..
I have also tried to update it to both 5.1 and 6.0 and it comes up with an error that says Failed to verify whole-file signature, then signature verification failed.
Obviously I am doing something wrong and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks for all the help.

Firstly, install a custom recovery (TWRP) with odin. You're getting signature verification failed because you're using stock recovery. Then flash the zip through that (make sure to follow instructions on rom thread).
