I've searched and searched to find a post that tells me straight to the point how to upgrade my MDA but I just can't find one.
I've got the XDA Developers FTP loaded up in FlashFXP but there seems to be a lot of empty folders on it.
Can someone please tell me if there is a guide on here of exactly what I need to do to upgrade the unit? I followed some advice to fix my Bluetooth problems on here and now my whole MDA has stopped functioning properly... the Today screen just shows all strange graphics etc but I still have the upper and lower menus.
If there is no guide, can someone please tell me what I need to do... my business relies on my MDA! :roll:

Well, there seems to be a very very very very very funny guy of girl who has deleted most of de maps of de the Magician. Again, very very funny, we're all lauging very loud. (or is it a manifacturer??? QTEK?, iMate? T-Mobile? Who's the bad guy?

Maybe there is a solution: someone else had the same problem (I think, he also had a corrupted Today screen), but after he chose a different picture in the today screen the problem is solved.
Not good about the files Whoever it is has just cost me an awful lot of money so I hope they feel great!
Screen issue is now solved thnks to the picture thing but my Bluetooth will not function at all now... was asking for me to turn flight mode off when it wasn't even on and now it doesn't work full stop.
ok this a small guide i made for a friend..... i'll post it here
ok first thing to do is get the ROM file.
second... after you download the file... extract the zip into any
place you want you will end up with an .exe file... right click on the
exe file and choose extract ( not you need winrar to do that) and
after you extract you will find a bunch of files one of them is named
ROMUpgradeUt.exe or (MaUpgradeUT.exe) replace this file with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=4022
after you replace the above file, double click on it and it will start
upgrading ... the device will go into bootloader mode (black screen
with Serial 1 written in it) you will get the country error ID
((((DON'T PANIC)))) and DON'T REMOVE THE DEVICE FROM THE USB OR REST
THE DEVICE, just click Exit to finish. while the deice in the bootloader
mode click on the replaced file and run it again the upgrade process
should go fine................
i will try later to do the guide in a pdf format with pix and more detialed
Okay guys I'm new here too Since I want to get rid of the pink t-mobile stuff and upgrading to a ROM which provides me better camera quality I would like to try a newer ROM version.
But where to get the newest ROM from ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/ ? I see extened ROM's but I have been told an extended ROM is a kind of addition to a normal ROM. But where can I find the basic ROM. I've been told that O2 and Qtek roms are the best.
:highfive: Hi there can someone help me ? I have look here, Google and none prevail.
Here's what I know so far, has to do with my SIM card cause when it's not installed I don't have that problem. It use to be just for CM roms but now a few AOSP and AOKP gives me this error. In CM9 had a french message telling me: erreur d'affichage de la zone utilisez un appareil recommandé
with CM10 I get this message about the process.android. But getting a few now on some AOSP and AOKP roms.
Did a full wipe everytime, tried disabling,deleting everything going to auto sync disabled, deleting contactprovider data I'm really lost and getting annoyed of beeing able to just flash a ''few'' roms.
Does any had the problem fixed ?
Thanks

MeteoMedia app problem. You're using it, aren't you?
Non, même pas. Not even one app. It's brand new installation and or replacing another one.

Because that's normally a problem with the MeteoMedia app or the weather being unable to get your location for some reason.
What is the exact message you get with CM10?
Try to put the phone in English US and select a "known" location for the weather, something such as Montreal if you're used to selecting a smaller city.
No cannot be that I have no apps whatsoever about weather. I flash from the original ''stock'' custom roms. I get that problem only when I have my SIM inserted too. I tried to set up in english with SIM and without, not set up in both languages without the SIM card and still no luck. Very odd and cn't find any info related as well.
Thanks alot by the guys I apprecate that ALOT.

Again, what is the exact message regarding the com.android.phone process?
I don't mind if it's in French, by the way.
Edit: Try setting your timezone manually instead of automatically. Settings > Date and Time. Uncheck Automatic Date/Time and Automatic Timezone. Set yours accordingly.
Malheureusement, le processus com.android.phone s'est arrêté.
That's what I get like message. I tried what you asked about the time in your last post and it didn't work. Just saw a post from a guy and he's with Videotron and has the same issue so I think it's a Videotron our carrier's SIM card. But odd that only 2 people are complaining about this issue.
Thanks again appreciate your help

So do you still get the "erreur d'affichage de la zone utilisez un appareil recommandé" error at boot, or just the com.android.phone process one?
Try to manually select your network operator in the settings instead of automatically, or the other way around.
In CM9/10, Settings > More > Mobile networks > Network Operator.
Nope I don't get the Erreur de la zone...only the process.com.phone error...And I will try as you said in the previous post about setting it manually.
Right now the only workaround I found is to not wipe data when I install the rom and I don't get the error.
On top of working rom I Wipe cache and dalvik then flash a rom (with the process.com.android error) and then flash cache and dalvik again and reboot.
Seems to work ok so far.
But still I will try a full wipe and try manual settings. Will let you know thanks again.
Have you tried a different SIM card?
Sorry about the delay was on vacation And still no luck still stuck with the same error even when I applied your tricks. I even tried with a different SIM card but from the same service provider. Had the same error. I will try my old SIM card as soon as I find it and try and see....
Thanks alot guys
Have you tried logging when error occurs via Logcat or DDMS:
ADB:
1. Connect device via USB.
2. Make sure Debugging is ON.
3. Open CMD Prompt and Type:
adb logcat -v long
DDMS:
1. Connect device via USB.
2. Make sure Debugging is ON.
3. Open CMD Prompt and Type:
ddms
DDMS window will open.
4. Select your device on the top left panel.
5. You can see all messages now being logged. For any problems, where it says 'verbose' choose 'Error' on the dropdown box You can also use 'warn'.
Well thanks again I have been working on this DDMS thing all day and the logcat. I see lots of error and trying to figure out since it's the first time i'm using this DDMS and logcat but can't be too hard. Thanks alot there the DDMS log if you want regarding the com.android.phone error. Incomplete but I get the error at the begining where it says Main fatal error.
Thanks lot everyone really really.
And now with JellyBelly 1.0 I don't have any com.android.process error I'm back with Erreur de l'affichage de la zone :s
At least I can maybe suspect that the problem has something to do with my SIM card not able to connect with my providers network.
Thanks again guys
Finally solved
Was about time I was going nuts over this and on top of that I only I think 2 roms that I was able to flash without having this stupid error.
The problem was.......Drum roll Stk.apk a.k.a Sim Tool Kit. I just deleted it from the zip file and flash the new zip and voila stupid problem solved....
Or if it's already installed on your phone just remove with (i used Root Explorer) the apk in system/app and Stk in dalvik then just reboot and no more annoying message and everything works great.
Thanks to all of your replies and solutions...I appreciate it alot
Merci beaucoup tout le monde
Finally, I have managed to achieve root on this device. Below is the instructions on how I managed to root. The below steps worked for me, but there is a possibility that they won't work for you, Im not 100% sure. They should though. This is for the SM-S550TL only. Also, this will void your warranty. Only Follow the below tutorial if you are comfortable with it, READ VERY CAREFULLY! I assume no responsibility for your actions, in any way, shape, or form. You try this at your own risk, That being said, here are the instructions:
SIDE NOTE: YOU CANNOT FLASH TWRP, IT WILL LOCK YOUR DEVICE WITH "THIS DEVICE HAS BEEN FLASHED WITH UNAUTHORIZED SOFTWARE" MESSAGE. DO NOT ATTEMPT! BE VERY CAREFUL AS WELL WITH WHAT YOU DO WITH THE ROOT ACCESS, UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE THE STOCK FIRMWARE FROM ANOTHER SOURCE AND CAN RESTORE WITH ODIN!
1. Flash the boot.tar with the lastest odin (download for odin not included). from the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-KfJE4M0My6VnFJNTBKZmJMdlE
It will change your SElinux mode to permissive.
2. You will need to find a way to disable or block all knox packages, (I had to use the paid samsung package disabler off google play). Another alternative is use the debloater tool, (google is your friend on how to find it). although you need to be careful if going this route on what you block, unless you have the stock firmware for flashing with odin.
3. Download The latest version of Kingroot and make sure your device is either plugged in or has a 50% or higher charge.
4. Run kingroot, If your device freezes, or goes to the "kernel panic upload mode", during the root process, DONT PANIC, Pull battery and reboot into the android os, It may take anywhere from 1-5 tries to get root, (at least this was my experience).
5. Again, I assume no responsibility for you actions, you try the above at your own risk. Enjoy being a root user if the above works for you!
it is working
thank you for your instruction, finally kicked the ass of tracfone
root verified.
Device rooted, used SuperSu-Me Pro to switch from KingRoot to SuperSu, all thanks go to hydroman202

como quito el molesto mensaje su dispositivo fue modificado ya que me sale cada 2 minutos gracias .
A mi me esta dando un falso root. Me da exito al finalizar el rooteo pero cuando corro el root-checker me dice que el dispositivo no tiene root, tambien me dice lo mismo cuando intento desbloquearlo con la octopus-box.
Si me pueden ayusar, no se que estoy haciendo mal
Worked for me! Thanks a million @hydroman202 and @daryl2347!!!
Now that it's rooted has anybody tried flashing anything with FlashFire or Flashify? I'd be most interested in any method to get a Stock OpenGapps package on there to replace the Samsung/TouchWiz crap.
Man, I hate TracFone! De-Bloating, de-SIMlocking and de-TouchWizzing this baby ain't gonna be easy....
SM-S550TL Step-by-Step Rooting Instructions for N00bs
Building off the excellent work of @hydroman202 and @daryl2347, I have compiled these full, step-by-step SM-S550TL rooting instructions in plain English for n00bs.
00 If you have already experimented or pranked with your device and screwed something up, you need to reflash the stock firmware via Odin (read through these educational points whether you need them already or not!!!):
00.A Create a new folder on your Windows desktop and name it "SM-S550TL". This is where you will put all the files you download and use with this device.
00.B Download Odin3 v. v3.12.3 here. Unzip the folder inside into your SM-S550TL folder.
00.C Download the firmware here and unzip ALL_TFN_S550TLUDU1APG1_S550TLTFN1APG1_CL8482018_QB10267860_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 into your SM-S550TL folder.
00.D Run Odin AS ADMINISTRATOR (right-click > Run As Administrator).
00.E Start your SM-S550TL in Download Mode by simultaneously holding Volume-Down, Home, and Power buttons. When you get to the next screen, press Volume-Up. Now that you're in DL mode, plug your SM-S550TL into a USB port on the computer.
00.F When you see the device is connected (under ID:COM there will be a block that turns baby blue and say 0:[COMx] inside), press the AP button and navigate to your ALL_TFN_S550TLUDU1APG1_S550TLTFN1APG1_CL8482018_QB10267860_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5.
00.G Wait for the package to verify. When it's done, it will say "Leave CS" in the log. Press start. Wait for Odin to say "PASS!" The device will reboot. Exit Odin.
00.H Go through the device setup procedure: When signing into your Google account, do it slowly, waiting after each step. A pop-up will appear asking if you want Google to check for security threats, I strongly suggest you press Decline. (If you miss the pop-up during setup, you can turn this setting off in Settings>Google>Security>Scan device for security settings.) Skip setting up a Samsung account (unless you want loads of bloatware). Do not set up anything related to Knox, it will give you trouble later.
00.I Go into your device settings. Here take the following steps: Under Display, set the screen timeout to 10 minutes. Under Lockscreen and Security, enable Unknown Sources, then scroll down and go into Other Security Settings. Click Device Administrators, and disable (i.e. deactivate) Android Device Manager. Go back to your main Settings and scroll down to About Device, here find Build Number and tap it repeatedly until it says you have enabled Developer Options. Go back to the main Settings menu and under Developer Options, enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging.
01 Download the the boot.tar file provided here, and save it in your SM-S550TL folder. Using Odin as per the procedure above, click AP and flash the boot.tar file. This will set your SElinux mode to permissive.
02 Download and install the Debloater Tool for Android by @gatesjunior from here on your Windows PC. Before doing anything, watch the video on that page. Run the program and I recommend you disable all the following before proceeding with the root procedure below:
ContainerAgent2.apk (com.sec.knox.containeragent2)
KLMSAgent.apk (com.samsung.klmsagent)
KnoxAppsUpdateAgent.apk (com.samsung.knox.appsupdateagent)
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation)
KnoxBBCProvider.apk (com.samsung.android.bbc.fileprovider)
KnoxBluetooth.apk (com.sec.knox.bluetooth)
KnoxFolderContainer.apk (com.sec.knox.foldercontainer)
KnoxKeyguard.apk (com.samsung.knox.kss)
KnoxSetupWizardClient.apk (com.sec.knox.knoxsetupwizardclient)
KnoxShortcuts.apk (com.sec.knox.shortcutsms)
KnoxSwitcher.apk (com.sec.knox.switcher)
KnoxTrustAgent.apk (com.Samsung.knox.knoxtrustagent)
MyKNOXSetupWizard.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.myknoxsetupwizard)
RCPComponents.apk (com.samsung.knox.rep.components)
SecurityLogAgent.apk (com.samsung.android.securitylogagent)
SharedDeviceKeyguard.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.shareddevice.keyguard)
UniversalMDMClient.apk (com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms)
03 Download the latest KingRoot apk from here to your SM-S550TL device. Install it. Make sure your device is either plugged in or has a 50% or higher charge. Make sure you are connected to the internet through WiFi or mobile data. Run KingRoot and follow the instructions to do the root procedure. Be patient. If the device freezes, DON'T PANIC! Simply pull the battery and start KingRoot again. It may take several tries, but you'll eventually conquer it.
04 Once KingRoot says it has achieved root, go to Google Play and install Root Check by @jrummy16 here. Run it, grant supersu permission, and it should say the device is rooted and the superuser is KingRoot.
05 Cool, so far so good. Now go back to Google Play and install Super-Sume Pro by @gatesjunior from here. Run it, read carefully and follow the instructions. Once complete you will have installed SuperSu by Chainfire and uninstalled KingRoot (thanks, KingRoot, it's been good to know ya!).
06 Run Root Check by JRummy again. Now it should confirm that you have root via SuperSu. It might ask if you want to install BusyBox. It's up to you, JRummy is a reliable developer. But I recommend you go to optional step 07 below.
07 Optional: Go back to Google Play and install BusyBox by @Stericson (free or pro) and install the latest BusyBox.
08 If you follow these instructions perfectly, you'll be in business.... But it's your responsibility and yours alone if you mess it up. Don't blame us. :good:

All was well until I got to this point, I installed Super-Sume Pro and it just keeps saying "processing please wait". I then installed SuperSu from the playstore and was unable to get it to remove KingRoot. First time go with rooting, not sure what the hangup is. I've been able to do what I need to do, but I'd like to remove KingRoot if possible. Any thoughts?
Also, SuperSu won't update the binaries. I don't know if it's because KingRoot is still installed or not. RootCheck shows SuperSu as the primary root application. Again, kind of a noob with android.
Edit: noob figured it out...

How did you manage to solve it? I've done exactly the same as you but when trying to run Sumer-Sume for the first time, the window opens and closes not even after a second. It just don't stay open, automatically closes without letting me do anything.
Can someone help me out on this one?

Uninstall Super-Sume Pro. Re-download and install from the Play Store. Try again. If you didn't install it from the Play Store it won't work. Spend the 4 bucks.

[GUIDE]ROOT, TWRP] AT&T Alcatel Ideal (4060A) Updated Root & Custom Recovery Tutorial
AT&T ALCATEL IDEAL 4060A
UPDATED GUIDE ON ROOT &
INSTALLUNG TWRP RECOVERY
THANKS & MENTIONS:
First & foremost, I want to give thanks and credit to @faxanidu for making TWRP possible for this device. His Super Guide broke new ground on this device and first made root & custom recovery possible.
NOTE:
Contrary to popular belief, this device DOES NOT have a locked bootloader. Thus, bootloader unlocking is not required as a prerequisite to this guide. However, I can only confirm that this guide works on firmware builds from 2016. If you have a build number from 2017, and this guide does not work for you, please refer to @faxanidu's "Super Guide" for rooting & installing TWRP on your device.
DISCLAIMER:
The procedures in this guide will void your manufacturer and/or service provider warranty. Furthermore, these procedures carry an inherent risk of bricking or damaging your device beyond repair. By proceeding any further, you are absolving me of any liability in the event you damage or render your device inoperable. You -- and you alone -- are solely responsible for your device. However, in the event of such misfortune, I will provide any and all support within my abilities. Please stay on topic in this thread and treat all other members with the same respect that you want to receive. Off topic posts will either be ignored or reported to an XDA moderator.
INSTRUCTIONS:
These procedures do not require a PC. The only requirements are your device, an internet connection, and an ability to follow simple instructions.
1. On your Alcatel Ideal, go to Settings, About Phone, and tap Build Number 7 or 8 times until Developer Options is enabled. In Developer Options, tick OEM Unlocking & ADB Debugging. Now go to Settings, Security, & enable Unknown Sources;
2. Open the browser and go to https://kingroot.net and download the most recent KingRoot apk. Install the apk, open it, and select "Try Root" when prompted to do so. Wait for KingRoot to root your device. If it fails, reboot & try again until successful;
3. Next, go to the Play Store & download the Official TWRP App. (It is free of charge) Install & open the app. Grant it superuser permissions when prompted.
4. Download the 4060A TWRP custom recovery image from the below link, and save it to either internal storage or to your device's external micro SD card.
5. Open the Official TWRP App again & select the "Flash TWRP" option. In the menu you will see an option to select a file to flash. Navigate to the twrp.img file you downloaded and select it. Now select the option to flash the file to recovery.
6. Open a browser and go to http://www.supersu.com/download. Download the latest SuperSU zip and save it to your device's internal or external storage.
7. Now open the KingRoot app, go to app settings, and select uninstall KingRoot. Proceed with the uninstalling process and be sure to uncheck the option to save root backup.
8. Once KingRoot is uninstalled, open the Official TWRP App again, select "Flash TWRP" to get to the next menu, and tap the app settings menu in the upper left of the screen. Select Reboot Recovery. Welcome to TWRP. Again, thanks @faxanidu
9. Select INSTALL from TWRP main menu. Navigate to the SuperSU zip file you downloaded in Step 6, select the file and swipe to install it.
10. Select Reboot and then System from TWRP main menu. You now have TWRP custom recovery and full root with SuperSU binaries installed.

Installung ??
It works!
ES: Si funciona, al principio lo hice con algo de miedo y me quede varias veces en el ultimo paso, tuve que apagar el celular e iniciar el modo recovery (TWRP) manualmente para instalar el supersu. (Antes hice una copia del sistema para estar seguro). El dispositivo esta 100% root y he reiniciado varias veces para asegurarme de que todo está bien, y efectivamente todo va de lujo. Muchas gracias amigo, de verdad. (Y)
EN: (GoogleTranslate)
It works, at first I did it with some fear and I stayed several times in the last step, I had to turn off the cell phone and start the recovery mode (TWRP) manually to install the supersu. (Before I made a copy of the system to be sure). The device is 100% root and I have restarted several times to make sure everything is fine, and indeed everything goes in luxury. Thank you very much, my friend. (Y)
i can confirm this procedure works with a device bought a few days ago. so the phone's bootloader doesn't check for signed images? in my old atrix days, the bootloader had to be unlocked first in order to be able to flash custom roms.
However before doing this i tried to update the phone's to the july 2017 patch and the update tool couldn't find any updates. Don't know if it's because i haven't activated at&t service (i am not using this as a phone). Is there any plan to release a stock rooted rom with the latest official patches?

It's not mine, just pointed it out. To be honest, if you want the best, feature rich camera for this phone (imo), just go to the play store and get Open Camera, it's what I've used for a long time and works great.
Everything went fine until step 8. After uninstalling Kingroot I opened the TWRP app and and go to top left and tap the three lines and select "Reboot" and that takes me to a screen that says "Reboot Recovery" on top and "Reboot System" on the bottom. Neither one do anything, so I'm not able to go onto step 9 to install the SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip file. Any idea if I'm doing something wrong?

I checked the download link and it correctly downloads "twrp.img" for the 4060A. If it wasn't showing up for you it could be the browser you are using.

Oh ok I understand now. So were you able to finally get TWRP to flash using Rashr or Flashify,?

Funny to say bcause, i downloaded Flashify thinking that it was Rashr ( i was doing it with a bit of fear, so i got confused )
To make it clear... I USED FLASHIFY TO INSTALL THE RECOVERY

That's a good question and, unfortunately, one to which I have yet to find an answer. However, if you are soft bricked or bootlooping, there is a stock firmware package for this device which can be flashed using the Qualcomm firmware installation utility (QFIL). Search Google for the package. If you are unable to find it, PM me and I'll upload mine and give you a link. Using that package will at least let you get back to stock condition and start over with rooting and TWRP.

When you get a chance could you send me the package and how do flash it
Yes I'll go ahead and upload it to my Google Drive account. It comes with full instructions and links for drivers, etc. I'll post the link here once it's uploaded.
I uploaded the package to my Mega File account, because the Google servers seem tediously slow today. Here is a link for the Alcatel Ideal (4060A) Android 5.1.1 stock firmware package.

The package includes basic instructions and links for what you need. But here is a full comprehensive guide on using the Qualcomm QFIL flashing utility, which also includes updated links on Qcomm drivers and the QFIL utility package.

So ive been on this page for awhile trying to figure out how to update my Asus Rog 5 Tencent version which was sold to me with the worldwide edition already loaded on. I live in the usa and im on tmobile and everything works fine for me, except I dont get 5g.
Anyhow here is how I updated my phone without needing a computer or anything. I didnt see this posted so if it is, oh well, hopefully my search keywords help someone from google or on this group.
First step, Firmware download!
1. Go here https://rog.asus.com/phones/rog-phone-5-model/helpdesk_bios
(Hit the "SHOW ALL" button and you will see the WW edition) The stuff at the top is the newest. Just look for WW.
2. Literally download it to your phone (shocker), you may need to long press the download button and hit download link.
3. Once downloaded, open the app section and go to file manager | download folder.
4. Locate the zip file, long press it and a menu pops up then press move, now you will see "local storage and under it internal storage" tap internal storage icon and then it will want to confirm with you "ok" its kinda hidden very bottom right. Once you do that, you are literally done.
5. Now, reboot the phone, login and wait, you will soon see a notice to update the phone in about 60 seconds if not just wait longer, a notice will pop up. Now click update and after about 3 mins itll be fully installed and complete. Then it will reboot the phone again and tada, you are fully updated.
**I dont know if this will work for everyone or if my phone was already unlocked or not, however there is an unlock app on that same page, under driver and tools, I did run that first but not sure if it did anything. You may need to run that first, give it a shot, hope this helps, let me know. But crickey, was this so hard to find for me, hopefully I helped. Also for space saving you will want to go in and delete the file afterwards as it doesnt do it on its own.**
Take care people.
If you have WW installed, WW updates work with / without an unlocked bootloader. Asus openly posts the manual updates, but there will surely be people that could use a guide for it. Asus kinda hid theirs.
Root users should also make sure to launch Magisk and select the "Install to Inactive Slot" option before rebooting (but after the update completes) to avoid having to patch manually.
This should be pinned for the amount of people who have tencent versions.
firmware update 18.0840.2106.86
Thanks for sharing! Is there a risk that data may be wiped?

OTA never wipes data, Unless you go to recovery and do so

I found all these things worked after the update. No word on Android 12 for our device yet. Maybe next year?
I followed the instructions but it says update failed, my phone currently has the 18.0840.2106.28 firmware.
I can unzip the file so it doesn't seem corrupted. Any idea why it won't update?
I heard that one version of software update cause the rog to lose it ability to connect to the wifi. Is anyone with tencent that have update software have any problem

Puedo descomprimir el archivo para que no parezca dañado. ¿Alguna idea de por qué no se actualiza?

¿Qué versión tienes en tu teléfono? Siempre puede intentar reparar el teléfono desde el modo EDL, hay un hilo sobre esto y también debería haber un firmware para actualizar para el modo EDL.
Version WW-18.0830.2101.86 esta es la vercion que tengo instalada pero ya probe y siempre me dice faile, ya desbloquee el bootloader nose que mas hacer,
