For the life of me I cannot find out how to reinstall the firmware for this phone. Ive gone on the alcatel support page and there are plenty of devices where u can download a program to reinstall or upgrade manually, but this phone isn't listed. The model number for this phone is:4037N. Its a metropcs phone. When I plug it into my pc it shows as: SOUL4NA.
I installed a program "kingroot" mistakenly thinking it was KINGOroot and cant get rid of it, hard resetting it does nothing its still there. Any help would be appreciated.

Can someone please help, i own the phone above, bought it as tele2fon v2, it's a branded mobiwire pyxis phone and google play recognizes it as alps tele2. I tried every way i know to root it, tried oneclickroot, it recognizes it, starts rooting, eventually it gets stuck and after 5-10 minutes it shows that it can't be rooted and opens support page, tried a couple of generic root tools but with no success, am i doing something wrong with the tools, or is there an other way. Going desperate...

Same problemm please help ..
So I have an lg risio and i used kingroot to root it, then it rebooted onto a screen with an lg logo and the words "Security Error" under it. I know for a fact i CANNOT get into recovery mode but i can get into download mod and factory data reset mode. I have tried factory data reseting but it does NOT work. Im kinda new to this and i just need the instructions and links to fix this please. I have a computer that runs windows xp if that matters at all.

Hi,
I couldn't find much information about your device here except this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/help-bricked-lg-risio-h343-t3191634
Try posting your query there. Other risio users may be able to help you.
Good luck
I had the latest OTA update installed without root, and the device was running fine. I don't think I've turned off the device after the OTA update, but today my battery died in my pocket, so I turned it back on to ensure it was dead, which turned out to be a bad idea I believe...
Now, the phone won't get past the Metro PCS screen, so I tried going into download mode to flash a KDZ. The links from this guide (or any guide linking to LG's servers didn't work) , so I stumbled upon the KDZ's and 'LGUP' And the KDZ flashed correctly but my phone still won't boot
I tried the TMobile KDZ just to see if it would boot and that didn't work either.
Please help, and thanks in advance.
I know its an old issue, a very old one but were you able to fix?
Nope, I've replaced this trash phone with a Galaxy S6 and I couldn't be happier. I'm never buying "budget phones" again.
The long story:
I'm a total noob in this subject. I don't even use my phone on a regular basis and I basically just got a smartphone like 2 months ago. At the rare cases when I used my phone (which is a huawei p7, if I'm correct) it was very noticeable and frustrating for me that I wasn't the administrator of it. I used linux and windows based computers throught out my whole life and it wasn't very comfortable for me to use an android... it just felt discusting how closed the OS was to me.
Soooo.... I tried to get rid of that annoying factor by rooting. And it went wrong... I watched a short youtube tutorial and tought it seemed fairly easy so I downloaded Kingo ROOT, connected my phone to my laptop and ran the root. The root completed, however my phone didn't turn off and restart nor during or after the root. So I decided to restart it miself and then I was stuck at the bootloop screen with the huawei logo. Then I tried to factory reset it and that didn't work either. Then tried to remove the root by connecting my phone in fastboot mode to my laptop but then my laptop didn't recognize my phone. I asked for help from a friend who said that I should ask for help here. I can't remove the back of my phone to remove the battery either because the huawei p7's back isnt detachable (Correct me if I'm wrong).
Any ideas?

Greetings and welcome to assist. There is a guide to rooting your device here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/guide-root-huawei-p7-t3311424
it appears that you may need to unlock your bootloader first.
There is a collection of firmwares here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/huawei-ascend-p7-sophia-l10-firmware-p7-t3281481
you should be able to return to stock with sp flashtools. Why not ask the experts in the P7 forum and they will guide you
Good Luck

Hello, I was having issues with my phones (ZTE MAX XL N9560) cellular network, being that although I was having no problems with my phones signal and even had good data connection on my phone I realized I couldn't receive any calls or text messages on the phone, It simply didn't work anymore...The network was good, internet connection was also good but I noticed carrier services such as text messaging were simply not working and to cap it all off, My wireless tethering mobile hotspot was also not working too. I tried tinkering with the network settings even using the android hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* to change the network bands trying to see if it would somehow solve my dilemma but ALL to no avail. So I finally decided to flash the stock rom of the phone in desperate hopes it would be my saving grace but as LUCK would have it the flashing process failed. The QFIL software I was using to flash the stock gave me a FLASH FAIL: FIREHOSE.MBN WAS UNABLE TO LOAD THE IMAGE; AND THAT WAS THE HAMMER ON THE NAIL FOR MY PHONE IT HARD BRICKED. So right now I'm left with a dead phone unable to to power it on, go to FTM mode and even worse it wont boot to EDL mode(Emergency Download Mode) which would have given me hopes to restore the phone. I'm only able to boot it to the ZTE HANDSET DIAGNOSTIC MODE which enables my computer to identify the phone. I've tried using several other qualcomm and zte device flashers and its either I get a FAIL UNABLE TO SWITCH TO EDL MODE or it flat out wont work at all
Can anyone, somebody please help me out with this please ......
THANKS:good:
if you got the right firehouse programmer and you have qfil/qset set up right with your files in the right places...and the correct ROM/firmware....I'm gonna ask you a crazy question ..Doesthe folder that your rom is in probably have the name of the firmware build like when downloaded normally right?? but I was in a similar situation with an alcatel I dug and dug and on Qualcoms dev site and I dont wanna search for it because it would probably take a month to locate the web site said with instructions to change the name of your ROM file to a file name with just 7 numbers not matching... I used 8675309 and it worked...my jaw dropped and I had fastboot
Do a search in here for the ZTE DFU MultiDL A2017X tool.
I bricked my N9560 and it puts it into EDL mode.
