It's because signature check is "Enabled".You have to boot into clockworkmood then choose "Install zip from sdcard",then "Toggle signature verification".After choosing this,you will see a message"Signature check: Disabled".Now you can choose zip from sdcard and install it.Enjoy it!

Is it also for OT991D with dual sim? If not, can you change it?
Why there are in any custom Rom differences, because if i look at the Alcatel-Upgrade-Tool (OTA), there is only ONE download for BOTH versions, 991 and 991D ?????
Oh...and how can i change the integrated Holo-Launcher with Go launcher? With normal installation (theni have two launchers) the phone is mega slowly :crying:

"Is it also for OT991D with dual sim? "-some days ago i already answered to this question and i said i'm still working on it(in fact the problem is that i'm working and this days i didn't have to much time),but don't worry,i will do it.
As for changing Holo Launcher with Go Launcher,i don't know if it's a good ideea(it "eats" a lot of memory),but if you really want to do it,here are the steps:
1.Firstly,you need link2sd installed
2.Install Go Launcher then go to link2sd
3.Search for Holo Launcher,choose it and then "Actions" ->select "Convert to user application" -> Ok
4.Now search Go Launcher and do the same steps,only that you have to choose "Convert to system application"
5.Go to Holo Launcher and uninstall it
6.Reboot your phone
That's it!You have Go Launcher as system application and main launcher!

I´m very sorry, now i see your answer some days ago,too. Please, do not make stress to you and take your time quietly. Changing the laauncher was very easy, but, as you said, eats a lot of memory, so know i´m using holo again
New problem: I made of course a CWM backup of my phone (Stock ROM rooted with my apps) and never problems with restoring it. But after flashing " gradu CUSTOM ROM v1.0" i decide to wait for "v2 DUAL SIM" and till Gradu2012 has made it, I want to use my old ROM.
So i made the restore with CWM (frst Wipe data/factory reset,and wipe cache partition, of course), but the phone now hangs in a boot-loop and also still has the gradu-boat-animation and Sound, instead of the original one....WHY it´s not possible to recover and how can i repair this- the boot-loop?? (New flashing of V1. is no problem and the phone is booting correct, but i want to use my backup!)
Edit: Now i recover with OTA (One Touch Upgrade Tool) to factory version, root it again and then: no problem to recover with my CWM backup...but no idea, why its not possible after installing the Gradu--ROM????

Wait wait wait...firstly:did you get any error while making bakup before installing gradu CUSTOM ROM ?
And: After wipe factory/cache partition did you select "make backup recovery -> recovery ->yes" ?
For logo image,if it's not working with recovery,you have to flash your logo.img in Flash Tool.
Let me know EXACTLY what doesn't work.

No, and as i said, with the rooted stock Rom installed, the backup can be flashed back without any errors

I don´t know, what you mean- i didn´t made a backup from YOUR ROM. First the phone is in "factory-status", original. Then i´m rooting it, install my apps and change colours, settings, etc. and then I boot into CWM and choose "backup" to make a "home base" with the must-have-apps and settings.
And what ever i do in/with this ROM (i.e. init.d support, install/deinstall apps, changing launcher and so on) i EVER can flash back my backup without errors.
BUT when i flashed YOUR ROM and make the first settings (language, etc.) and then think: "OK, nice, but I need my Dual Sim and therefore want back to my "base", i boot into CWM, then first i choose wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvic cache- then i choose "recovery" -> yes and choose my backup file. The recovery process finished without any error, then i choose "reboot system now" and...boooooom....the phone hangs into a boot-loop, the boot-animation and the music starts again and again and again....
Maybe you think: aaah, he has a 991D (Dual Sim), but my ROM is for single Sim....nope, thats nothing to do with it. "Jeffta" made a Custom ROM for Dual Sim very similar to your ROM (two zip files to flash) and when i install this one, test it and want to go back to my base, i have the same failure- bootloop after recover my backup.
At this point there is (for me) no other way than to push the akku out and flash the unrooted original ROM with "Alcatel upgrade tool, root the phone, flash CWM and after all of this, i finally can flash back my "base backup" - the phone then boots normally and after 1 Hour i have back all my apps and settings :crying:
[/QUOTE]For logo image,if it's not working with recovery,you have to flash your logo.img in Flash Tool.[/QUOTE]
While bootloop, i had done this. I flashed back the original logo.img, and after reboot i first see the original picture (this green monster...lol), then starts your bootanimation (like a video) with your music and starts again and again and again......
I hope you understand me/all of this, my english is not so good (Germany).
catdoggy said:

Ok,i really don't know why is this happening.I installed it in my phone and restore my original backup and i don't have any problem(like boot-loop).Anyway,if your phone is working now with your original rom,wait for the one i will make for 991D.
P.S: For changing the bootanimation,you have to install Root Explorer then acces your system files like this: select "system" file -> "media" -> "bootanimation".There you have to find your original bootanimation.Copy it into your pc,unzip it and check the images you find in file1 and file 2.If it's not your original bootanimation,search it into "custpack" file -> JRD_custres -> "media".Make the same thing like with the other one.If this is your original one,replace the one you have into "system" file with the one you've found in custpack.
Let me know if you succeded.

Yes, my great master, I succeded. Yes, I tried it although I spend hours again to restore first the Alcatel original and then my backup :crying:
BUT its advantage is that I now know a trick to speed up the Alcatel Upgrade: This tool downloads directly from the Alcatel server, every time. So i was looking into OTA Dir and there was a "dowwnload" folder...but empty. Ok, i thought, the files were deleted after recovery. So i made a cup of coffee and do the upgrade procedure again and afterr the download, but before flashing, i copied the download folder to another place. :highfive:
And NOW i only need to copy the saved ffiles into OTA dowwnload directory and the tool is upgrading in about 5 minutes, not in 1-2 hours..jeeeeehaaaa
Ok, and now it´s your turn, i have a brain twister for you. The OTA is downloading 10.100 ".bin" files !!!! (yes, ten thousand and one hundred). Are YOU capable to make sweet two zip files (as by your ROM) with these original bin´s, that would make it very easy to recover. Or is there onother way (maybe for me, too) to make these 2 zip files from my running system or my backup??
:good:
Hello frdz
First Step to get full access of your phone is "Root".Why??
1.) To remove unwanted pre installed apps.
2.) To increase your System Space & free up some Ram.
3.) To move all your apps to SD.
4.) To install CWM Recovery.
5.) With CWM recovery You can install(flash) Different Roms and backup Your Stock Rom.
So here is the app to root your phone without PC.

You can go to this thread for more info about this app.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276
After rooting The first App you should install is Titanium Backup Pro.
Before Uninstalling Any System app you should make a backup for it in Titanium Backup Pro.
In case if you remove a very important app of Android Os u can restore it suddenly with this app.
2nd Most Important App For Rooted Devices is CWM Recovery.
To download it go to this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440320
Aldo read carefully in first thread how to install it.
After Installing CWM zip file...you should backup your stock rom first.
If ur phone got bricked u can restore it with CWM recovery any time.
I bricked my mobile with chainfire 3d app.
So suggest u all to not install this app.
And always keep a backup of your stock rom.
Framaroot 1.6.1 does not work in Karbonn A21+

Make a backup of your friends phone from its recovery. Restore from yours, wipe data, factory reset and reboot (this way you will lost all your data)
You can also try an advance restore from his backup, restoring only system apps. It may work
Before anything make your own backup.
Good luck!

I dont think it will work because each device has different Imei number and different information

what do you mean by loosing data ? if you mean that I will just loose only media files like video or songs or contacts name .
It doesn't matter for me , to loose these files , the most important thing that I want to make sure when I make a restore from my friend backup , I will not brick my mobile and there will not be any problems in my mobile system after restore the backup .
I need someone that has try this method and confirm to us that this method is SAFE.
and tell us what should I choose in the TWRP recovery when I make a backup because there are many options that we can choose like system - modem - efs etc.

Yes you may soft brick your phone. You may stuck in a bootloop. That is why you will have your backup. You open your phone into recovery and restore...
I am a CWM user so i can't tell you exactly what options to use.
When you flash a new rom on your phone you will lose all your data in the phone (contacts and app data) not the files in your SD card.
If you restore your friends backup with the his data (not only the system) your phone should be with his data.
Nobody will "put his hand in the fire" for you. I can't tell you that it will succeed 100%. That is why i tell you to make a backup.
For more info, you should better open a topic in your phone's section
P.S.: Soft brick is not a big deal if you know how to deal with it

so you mean the method will not 100 % success working. that is what you mean. I hope some one that had try this method will give us his experience or I should just make a try and see what will happen.
and I already make a backup for my mobile.
if softbrick happen , if I restore my mobile backup everything will go back normal right ???
by the way my friend mobile still fresh without any data because he just install the custom rom so he will let me to make a full backup from his mobile.
and thank you for your kindness to try to help me with this
Those who are fed up of the disc size acquired by TWRP backup or CWM backup and want that it consumes less space on your disc....
Its just a small trick which work for all android device's.....
Requirements: Romtool box (android app)
Link: http://www.apkhotel.com/apk/24685/start
1) Open the app, grant root..
2) Select Rom Installer - Backup and Restore - Backup Current rom.
3) Device will automatically reboot into twrp mode and backup will start...
4) Then just delete the backup and you will not be able to restore that backup..
5) Now simply boot into twrp recovery and take backup using that....
U will find that backup will start and will show a size of whats original (lets assume a size of 2880 mb)
Let the backup go.....
6) Reboot ur device and open ur file manager and get the property of the file.
U will find that size consume on ur sd card is very less..(size now will be 1708 mb)
Once done u can take backup normally through twrp or cwm.....
No need to use Rom Toolbox again and again.....
Its a one time process...
Hit like if it helped and if anyone didn't catch me then ask me.....
I will share some screenshots or make a video....
Thanks.............??

I dont understand the general concept of this. I backup once using an app, and then my backups taken from recovery are magically smaller in size ? How is that possible? I mean, the factors that affect the backup size, are the total size of the partitions you backup and the compression method used from your recovery. Since rom toolbox doesnt change any of this (or does it?) how the other backups end up being smaller?
I removed the paid app from the OP. If there's a free version of this app, then post the Play Store link to it, otherwise this thread will be closed.
