Hello, and hope this is the right place to post this.
So, without any knowledge about all this smatphone/android stuff, I finally got one by a really good price. An ot-983.
Some friends conviced me to root it. I found a way to do it and noticing all the bloatware from it's original carrier (this phone was carrier unlocked when bought) I decided to clean up a bit.
I ended up cleaning a lot of stuff that I simply didn't use from a \custapp\ folder in there.
Thing is, a day latter I got a notification of a firmware update and I just said yes.
The said update failed, complaining it seems about the lack of some of the deleted bloatware.
Now, here's when the lack of thinking shows.
Wondering about it, I decided to look around options and found the factory reset.
Being a new and mostly empty phone, I did it (wiped clean the sd too),
And there, it went all into hell!
After reboot, it can't get my wireless anymore (have to use a static ip workaround for it...)
Root Checker says it's not properly rooted (using the same rooting technique as the first time doesn't fix it)
superuser still seems to be working, altho it crashes now and then with some errors about permissions.
also, can't get BusyBox working because it says there's no su binary and I can't download an update for it.
In short, I guess I need to get this phone to it's basics, if possible unbranded.
I don't really know what I need for that, but here I am, reaching at you that might help
I guess I need a stock rom and a way to flash it.
I'd appreciate a lot any help on getting whatever it is needed.
*cheers

I simply downloaded the drivers from alcatel website
and then used the root package from here: <can't post outside links. it's a thread on error-soft dot net
Followed the instructions on the .txt included and it worked.
After that I think I had to install Superuser app (from live store)
be careful. My problems came from deleting some stock apps included and then doing a firmware update.
so, don't delete stuff around if you're thinking in doing the upgrade.

Where did you get the upgrade from ?
My story is like this: rooted, uninstalled some bloat from system and after a factory reset I'm stuck in the initial setup wizard (after completing almost all stages from setup it crashes at the end, after connecting at the google account - tryed to ignore that step but either way it crashes). Fastboot works but adb don't.
I do have another identical phone Alcatel One Touch OT-983 but with no root, with no modifications. Is there a way to backup the original/stock image and flash it over the malfunctioning one and restore it??
I tried with the proprietary upgrade tool from Alcatel but no succes as it close saying I don't need an upgrade because it's the last version of software installed in my phone. I thought even to broke intentionally the rom but I'm afraid that the upgrade utility from Alcatel will let me down, as I read that another users didn't managed to complete successfully the upgrading process. Is there a way to trick the system that has a previous version of Android?
Thank you for taking your time to read this and hope someone has an idea to solve our problem.
Have a nice day guys, you can contact me at puiocku at gmail dot com.

I recently "semi bricked", if my Alcatel OT983, if that's possible. It would not boot fully and got stuck on the "jrdsetupwizard has stopped" screen.
Here's what I did. The issue with getting the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade software to work appears to be getting the correct USB Driver installed. There are a number of potential USB drivers. This phone needs the driver in the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade. The stock Windows one or the one used for rooting the phone using instructions from the errorsoft website from the oneofgod will not work with this upgrade procedure.
1. Download the Alcatel One Touch Upgrade software and install on your machine. Open up the folder where the software is installed.
Look inside the folder that is called USB Driver and look inside the appropriate folder for your type of Windows machine 64bit or 32bit (x86) and install that driver for USB - that is the correct one for the upgrade
2. Run the upgrade software whilst connected to the internet. Connect your phone when it is off. You should just get the Android icon i.e. not charging or anything else. The icon should just stay there all the time the process takes place.
3. The upgrade will download. It's when the process gets to about 70% that the phone the starts upgrading. It will take a few moments but when it starts progressing into the late 70s and 80s you should be well on the way. At least that's how it went for me and I got my phone back!
Hope this helps.

Tanks for share the ROM.. I need it to recover my friends phone..
I just got this phone, not looking to root it yet as theres no option for a custom rom yet.
didnt want to start a new thread as theres not really any section for this phone yet.
Everything was fine until i installed the firmware update. Now applications cannot access the mic. Some complain about it being in use by another app. others like video editor or sound recorder will record, but the video recorder there is no file, and sound recorder crashes when you hit stop.
Alcatels website is useless, wasnt working yesterday, today it is but cant find any contact details incase its a bug in there firmware. Everything works fine except for that. Which is annoying because i use RTA software and now it doesnt as it cant access the mic.
any ideas?
Hi guys,
I've rooted my phone with abd and udpate.zip a long time ago, and it was fine till some days ago it stopped from receiving calls and the home button does nothing when pressed, although in recovey mode it works.
I've done a hard reset, reflashed the recovery.img, system.img and boot.img I've found in this post with fasboot, but did not solve the problem.
I've tried a firmware update with Alcatel's own software but it just keeps saying my firmware is updated already. I've also tried to edit the proinfo file, but I don't know what to change in the file. You can see more about that method here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/9772370-post8.html
My guess is that the files that are corrupted and preventing me from receiving calls are somewhere else than those img's I've flashed. Has anybody got a FULL backup of his rom (e.g. Rom Manager) so I can recover the phone completely?
Thanks!

HI, i need your help please.. I installed about a month ago Lollipop on my Xperia S by some YouTube tutorial. There was a link for root package, but i forgot to install it before installing Lollipop, and now i cant get to CWM recovery, i tried (almost?) everything, so i cant install the rar, and one-click root sw/kingo root doesnt work for me ..
If i flash recovery again, will i lost my data/OS or something? I dont want to install etc. everything again so please, let me know how to deal with this. Also i turned off the "ambient thing", but its still pretty sensitive - it keeps unlocking itself when I put in on my bike or just when im trying to clean it which never happened to me before.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Sony Xperia S at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good luck!
EDIT: Member has now posted in the suggested area. Thread closed.
Hello everyone,
well I really don't know how to start without embarrassing myself so here it goes. Somehow I managed wipe everything from my Huawei P8max. Completely everything. The phone was rooted before and I decided to update it and I erased everything. I can still flash it with the official root tool or official recovery but that's about it.
Right now I'm on official recovery and when I press volume + volume - and power button it says "Software install failed! The update package does not exist. Please download the package again."
I tried searching for firmware almost everywhere with no luck (including Huawei site)
I got no clue how to fix it I'm a noob, anyone can help me please?
Phone is DAV-703L
Best Regards,
E.
Download software here: http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/ then put the update app in dload and flash it via recovery.

Flashing instructions are at the bottom of the page.
Enjoy.
Thank you guys, you rock ! :good: :good: :good:
Just finished installing the OS and all the updates. Google play store was gone so I downloaded it.
Any idea how can I get rid off the Chinese letters/descriptions, there is quite a few of them. I did search the forum and didn't find anything unless I missed it.
Last question, can I root the phone using the old method ?
Thanks both of you !

You probably need to setup the locale.
try this: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=locale&fdid=com.sweetiepiggy.everylocale
or this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evanhe.locale
thanks
Thank you, the first link didn't work for me (permission denied) so I switched to 2nd one.
For some reason Play Store is getting uninstalled on it's own every few hours and I started reinstalling it with Titanium backup. Annoying.
I bought a Gigaset ME from China in July, for those ones who know, there are no google apps on any of the Chinese phones made for China market. Mine is no exception.
I wanted to install google play store, I think the phone must be rooted in order to do that? Have to make the installed play store app a system file. However Gigaset phones cannot be rooted the normal way, with normal rooting apps such as kingroot, iroot kingoroot etc. I always tried to find methods on google but no luck, until 3 days ago, I found heineken78's Youtube video on how to root Gigaset ME/Pro.
I don't know if I am allowed to post a link? But this link is on the same website so I would guess it might be ok?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gigaset-pure-pro-root-unlock-t3477753
I tried heineken78's method and sucessfully installed a custom recovery for my Gigaset ME! Please check out his method on the link above.
I was too happy and I flashed some gapps by myself...ended up a messed up system...a lot of system apps were not working. I tempered with the recovery and bricked my device...Gigaset does not provide any official ROMs for downloading...I thought my phone was done, maybe I must buy another phone instead.
AND...this man, heineken78 came to help! I added him on Skype and he showed me how to unbrick the device step by step, patiently. He flashed the components, recovery and boot, eventially my phone came alive again! Oh and I forgot to mention, he gave me his system backup file so I could put an EU version of ROM on my phone to use proper Android, and most importantly, gapps! The Chinese version of ROM sucked big time...too many unwanted junk apps!
The process lasted around 7 hours I guess, if not more? When we finish it was like 2am for him, 1am for me...I would like to thank him for all the work he has done to revive my phone, and sacrifice the sleeping time of course...
My phone is working 100% now, actually better than before by having the updated ROM hahaha...all credit goes to this man heineken78!
many thanks to Heineken78! He was my rescue and repaired my phone! Now it's working fine! :good::good::good:
cheers to Ukraine!
I order one because today is good promotion for this smartphone. Is any guide how to make fully working phone step by step?
