This is going to be pretty long and have had the problem for months so please bear with me, read and see if you could assist.
Borrowed a friends Nexus S a while back. Used it for a few days, turned it on one day and it stays on the black google screen with the open padlock at the bottom
I am able to enter Fastboot mode is shown in image 2; lock state is unlocked.
I followed the instructions as in post 2 on the following thread

Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...e-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/re...0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...68&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.
Someone else wrote down the same instructions if mine are not clear enough: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1785672

This prevented me from putting the stock image on the sdcard for flashing via CWM.
is there another way i can get this working, maybe via fastboot or via ODIN so i can return my friends phone.
Thank you.
Hi I had this problem to, mine was from a bad flash / bad firmware.
First I suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284670 better recovery.
After from recovery
select factory reset, wipe cache, and from advance wipe dalvic cache.
then select mount usb, copy to card slim bean 3.1.0 http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/465-crespo/2505-slim-ns-3-1-0-official plus gaps http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/461-addonsfullpackages-412/2501-aio-addons, flash them in this order.
After first boot and config u can use http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ to write the OEM firmware.
Sorry this didn't work because nothing can be written to system and the sdcard is still not able to mount

Many people were having problems in the detection of device...i have solved it
Can anyone upload TWRP in Drive or any other place? The box link is all over the internet and is not working as it is out of bandwidth (sucks!). TIA FYI: The box link download button translates to this link
So since no one here seems to have the time or courtesy to provide the link, for the ones who needs it. Here it is.
Thanku soon much bro....just got my YU..will try it later

Just one question.... Can stock recovery install superuser?
http://forums.yuplaygod.com/#yuphoria.34
Actually why don't you'll try out the forums on YUPLAYGOD....
They have ALL THE POSSIBLE LINKS THERE and everything is functioning properly including links to TWRP and the rooting etc etc...
And it is better to have TWRP installed to flash SUPERSU..

Tried this method for rooting on TCL 562 3GB/32GB. Rooting works fine. However, after rooting, the call function is NOT working and shows IMEI as invalid for both SIM1 1 and SIM 2 when you dial *#06#. Any idea how to fix this issue.

Thanks for the quick response. I installed this Stock-FP2 ROM. I still see the issue of invalid IMEI. I have attached the screenshots for your reference. With this ROM I am not able to boot to fastboot mode. I have enabled developer mode and USB debugging. It boots back to system if I select reboot to bootloader. I am not able to use it as a phone. How do I get the IMEI back.

sugar-mtk-sp-flashtool checks for rootingand doesnot work if the device is rooted and hence was failing to update the device.
Full format of the device using mtk-SP-flashtool and then fresh installation of Stock-FP2 did the trick. Installed without selecting 'simlock' and 'md3img' as I was getting error:STATUS_SEC_TYPE_MISMATCH.
Installation went fine and restored the IMEI. Thanks for all the help.

Any custom rom for flash plus 2?

...there was no SuperSU.zip on the SD card. I know for certain that it successfully copied before I began.
My phone is now stuck in an orange state. I can get to a boot menu but there is no bootloader and no system image.
EDIT: Sorry; mine is a 5095i (Pop 4s).

Aaaaaaand now the phone is utterly dead. No power, no boot menu; I get an LED when I plug in but that's it.
Okay, I think I see the problem. Although my phone is a Pop 4S as specified in the title, mine is a TCL 5095i, as opposed to a 5095k which seems to be what this root is for. That would explain the "type mismatch" error and subsequent brickification. :/ Looks like I'm just screwed.
NO MORE ALCATEL products for me, EVER.

That is a good phone. But my Alcatel flash plus 2 is still very smooth and never had issues. Maybe because it is 3GB version. Battery life is still good. About 80 to 85 percent capacity. Only bad thing about flash plus 2 is that no support in Philippine. The company went out of business.

Thank for your hard-workings
At this stage (step 10), my phone is still connected to my PC! So, from before step 11 to step 13, should I remove the USB cable from the PC in step number?
Hello. Has anyone rooted the Ulefone Power 6 yet? Im looking to have TWRP installed onto my new Power 6. My goal is to figure out a way to add user profiles, as it currently does not have them activated. I read online that you could edit the .prop to have any android activate the user profiles, but i cannot do this without my phone being rooted. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, This is for the original Ulefone Power, not the Power 6. Different phones. The instructions didn't lead me to anything useful. I have since update my phone to the latest firmware via the stock update app. I still haven't found a successful way to root the Power 6. There is this thread (https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-ulefone-power-6/), but the ADB commands to not work, and does not fastboot my phone to install the patched image. But either way, the instructions do not include a TWRP, so Im back to square one. HELP!
How to root Ulefone Power 6 (Build Power_6_SF1_V07) Updated 9/22/2019
OK. It was tough, but I finally found a way to root the Ulefone Power 6. I still haven't figured out a way to install TWRP, but that's because i have to build a custom recovery, and that's too advanced for me. So, anyone is welcomed to help out with building a custom recovery for TWRP. As for the root, This is what you will need:
Pre-Requirements:
Device battery charged up to 50%.
Developer Options enabled with OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging enabled
Remember to take a full backup of device data (Internal Storage, SMS), it will get formatted.
A Windows or Mac PC/Laptop is necessary to flash Magisk
A USB cable to connect your device with your PC
Download Links:
Download Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 (Portable). Extract it to your desktop.
It's best to give administrator privileges to the tools before you use them. To give them admin privileges:
Right click on adb.exe and select "Properties" at the bottom of the menu. Click on the "Compatability" Tab and check the "Run this program as an Administrator" box. Click on the "Apply" button and then the "OK" button to close the properties window.
Repeat the same process for the "cmd-here.exe" and the "fastboot.exe" files.
Ulefone USB Drivers. Extract it to your desktop and make sure you install the drivers.
MTK USB Drivers. Extract it to your desktop and make sure you install the drivers.
Latest Ulefone Power 6 Stock ROM. Or you could make a back up yourself. (latest rom as of 2/25/20 is GQ3081SF1_M860B1_Ulefone_20190921_V07(Non-EU) ).Extract it to your desktop.
MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool. This will be used to flash the most recent Ulefone rom on your device. Extract it to your desktop.
Download Magisk Manager
After downloading the Stock ROM (will be a .ZIP file), extract it to your PC.
Connect your device via USB cable
Find the "boot.img" file inside the Stock Rom folder you just extracted and copy only the "boot.img" file to your devices storage.
Copy Magisk Manager.apk to your devices storage
Using your device, install Magisk Manager
Open the Magisk Manager on your device.
Select "Install" from the first option next to "Magisk is not installed" and again select install.
Now, tap on "Select and Patch a File".
Go to your devices storage where you have copied the "boot.img" file earlier and select it.
Magisk will start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image is patched, Magisk will save the image on your "Download" folder located on your devices storage.
Locate the patched image (magisk_patched.img) and copy the "magisk_patched.img" to your PC. Make sure the patched image (magisk_patched.img) is inside the same folder as the extracted ADB and Fastboot tool folder on your desktop.
Open/run MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool
Click on File from the Menu located at the top right and select "Open Download Agent File"
Locate and select "MTK_ALLInOne_DA.bin", located in the same folder as the MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool folder.
Press the "Open buton" to select the file and close the window.
Now, click on the "Scatter File" button located at the top left.
Locate and select the XXXXXXXX_scatter.txt file located inside the extracted Ulefone Power 6 Stock Rom folder.
Press the "Open buton" to select the file and close the window.
Now, tick the "BootRom+PreLoader COM Sel All" check box located under the "scatter file" button.
Now, Click on the "Scan" button located at the bottom right.
Select Yes from the pop up window
Now, power off you device and disconnect your device from your PC by removing the USB cable from your device.
Now, reconnect the USB cable to your device while it is powered off.
MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool should detect your device and a green bar should appear confirming the connection with the words "Scan Success!" to the left of the green bar.
Press the "Stop all" button located at the bottom right
Disconnect and reconnect your device from your PC
Uncheck the "BootRom+PreLoader COM Sel All" box and check only the line with the green bar.
Click on the tiny "Start" button located to the right of the green bar.
You can confirm the flash was successful when the words "PASS" is visible to the right of the tiny "Start" & "Stop" buttons
Once the flashing is complete, you can close MTK SP Multi Port Download Tool and power on your device.
Configure your device to get to the home screen (skipping as many options as you can. You will have to format one more time) and enable Developer Options, OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging again.
Make sure your device is connected to your PC.
Now, you need to open up a command window (cmd window) inside the Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 (Portable) folder. To do this, open the "cmd-here.exe" file.
Next, enter the following command in the cmd window:
adb devices
(this command will confirm your device is connected to your PC via ADB )
Your device will show a pop up window asking for permission to connect via ADB. Click on the "Always Trust This Device" and Accept the connection
If successful, you should see the word "Device" to the right of your devices name on the list that the cmd window created.
Next, enter the following command:
adb reboot-bootloader
(This command will boot your device into fastboot/bootloader mode. It will turn off and the device will have a black lit screen)
Check that your device is connected to your pc by entering the following command:
fastboot devices
(this command will confirm your device is connected to your PC via fastboot/bootloader mode ) If successful, you should see the word "Device" to the right of your devices name on the list that the cmd window created.
Next, enter the following command:
fastboot flashing unlock
(if nothing happens, press the Volume up+ on your phone to start the unlocking of the bootloader)
(this will unlock your bootloader)
Next, enter the following command:
fastboot getvar unlocked
(this will confirm you have unlocked your bootloader. It will say "unlocked: yes")
Next, enter the following command:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
(This will replace your stock image with the patched image you created using Magisk Manager)
Next, enter the following command to reboot your phone:
fastboot reboot
Install magisk manager using your file manager. Make sure to follow directions when it asks you to give special permissions to install.
Open Magisk Manager and click on "OK" when it starts up and asks you for "additional setup".
Congratulations! Your device is rooted.
Extra notes:
If you come across a red watermark with the Chinese words and "Tee Keys" and/or "Google Keys" on the top right of your devices screen, this is how you fix it.
make sure your device is turned on and connected to your PC.
Open "cmd-here.exe" located in the Minimal ADB Fastboot 1.4.3 (Portable) folder.
Next, enter the following command:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mediatek.factorymode
(This command will not do anything at the moment, but will remove the watermark after you reboot your device)
Next, enter the following command to reboot your device:
adb reboot
The watermark should be removed when your device restarts again.
ENJOY!

Thanks a heap for all these instructions, would not have been able to do this without them.
Just a few extra pieces of information for anyone else caryring out the above steps:
- If you your stock ROM doesn't have a file manager in order to open/execute the MagiskManager APK file then using Chrome to download the APK file will allow you to execute it.
- in the SP Multi Port Tool, after checking the line with the green bar and clicking start you'll notice the time in seconds counting next to the start button. At this point you may need to unplug your USB cable and replug it in order for the SP Multi Port Tool to detect the devices and actually start properly
- If the SP Multi Port Tool requires a checksum.ini file you can follow the instructions on the hovatek site (Google 'checksum.ini generatemediatek hovatek' I'm a new user so can't post links):
Note there is a download link for the CheckSum_Gen.zip file which will require you to register for an account on the hovatek website. You can create a junk/throw away account with a fake email as it doesn't require email confirmation. Also all of the files inside the CheckSum_Gen.zip folder need to be placed inside of the stock ROM folder where the scatter file is located.
- The watermark can only be removed after the MagiskManager carries out its additional setup and after root access is complete.
Still hoping to find a compatible TWRP recovery. If anyone builds one please let us know!
Hi, 19Henry83
I did try your method and it works great. I rooted my Power 6. The thing is I did this in hope to fix a freezing touchscreen issue. Touch screen frezzes and I need to lock/unlock my phone constantly to fix it. Now I'm convinced this is not a software issue and I will return the phone to the seller. So I wanted to get back to the original firmware. When I do that however there is still that red watermark and my IMEI is deleted. Is there any way to get back to the factory software and not have the red watermark, as I assume it will void my warranty.
I Need help please ,, I need the TWRP Recovery, Tool / Utility for the Ulefone Power 6, I have looked for it in many web pages and I cannot find it, all the ones I find have the same name "3.3.1 Power 6" and not It works for me when I install them, I get the same recovery that I had when I try to enter

Hello Jiroscop. I had the same problem and only noticed after i read your post. Now, a couple months later, i managed to use an IMEI changer to insert my IMEI found on my original box where my phone came in. It should have two IMEIs. I don't know if i can explain on this forum. Try researching it on your own and get back to me if you cannot find a way to fix your phone.
NOTE: you will need your original IMEI's, changing the IMEI's with anything other than the original ones will brick your phone.
Does your phone not boot into Fastboot? Even when you try:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(the software method),
Or pressing volume down and plugging the device in (the hardware method)?
I found a fix!
Here is what I did:
Download all of this:
Uppercut/LGUP: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/ (both files)
RS988 KDZ: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/9466/RS98810h_01_0303
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/rs988/twrp-3.3.1-0-rs988.img
ADB: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037
Flashing the KDZ
Install the "LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi"
Disable your Antivirus (just pause it for a couple hours or so)
Extract "UPPERCUT_1.0.0.0.zip" and run "UPPERCUT.exe"
Click "OK"
Power off the phone
Press and hold the "Volume Down" and then plug your phone into the computer while continuing to hold "Volume Down"
Release the button once "Download Mode" appears on the screen
On LGUP, the phone should have appeared in the list. If so, skip to step 18, otherwise continue.
Download this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5Lj5sOIvofGSWFINjhuS01vU1U/view
Run "LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.4.exe" and finish the Install.
Search windows for "devmgmt" and open device manager.
Find the device named "android" or something similar
Right click the device and choose "Update Driver"
Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers available on my computer"
It should have selected a driver named "Bootloader Interface" or something similar. Choose next.
Once the driver installs, close the window and close device manager.
On LGUP, press "Select"
Choose the "REFURBISH" option
Click on the empty box next to "BIN"
Click the ". . ." button and browse for the "RS98810h_01_0303.KDZ"
Click "Start"
If a dialogue appears about partitions being wiped, choose "OK"
Once finished, close LGUP
On the phone, if "Enter a Password" appears once booted, either enter random letters and numbers and submit them 30 times, or unplug the battery, then put it back in, then press "Volume Down" and "Power" at the same time, AND THE MOMENT THE LG LOGO APPEARS release and then press and hold the power button but CONTINUE TO HOLD VOLUME DOWN. Then use the volume and power buttons to select "Yes" both times and wait for the phone to preform a factory reset.
Unlocking the Phone's Bootloader
Enable "ADB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking" (Settings > General > About phone > Software Info > Tap "Build Number" 7 times, then go to Settings > General >Developer Options > enable both "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking")
Go to Settings > General > About Phone > Status and write down the IMEI number (preferably in a text editor on your computer for easy access)
Extract the "adb-setup-1.4.3.zip" and run "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe"
Reply "y" to everything and complete the install
Search windows for "cmd" and open "Command Prompt"
Execute:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once the phone has rebooted, run:
Code:
fastboot oem device-id
you should get something like:
Code:
Example Device ID (PC User)$ fastboot oem device-id
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
(bootloader) Device-ID
(bootloader) CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013
(bootloader) F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
To generate your unlock key, you will need to paste together the 2 lines of output into one continuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces. In the example above, the Device ID would be:
Code:
CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
Write the code down with the IMEI. (in a text editor)
Go to https://us.lgaccount.com/join/terms
Sign up for a LG Developer account. Continue once completed.
Go to https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/IssueDeviceInfo.dev
Sign in
Enter your Nickname as made in setup
Enter your email
Enter the IMEI number and Device ID you wrote down earlier.
Click "Confirm"
You should now receive an email with an "unlock.bin" attached. Download said bin.
Plug the phone into the computer
Search windows for "cmd" and open "Command Prompt"
Run:
Code:
cd Downloads
(or wherever the "unlock.bin" is stored)
Then:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in fastboot, run:
Code:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
Once the phone boots, you are Unlocked!
TWRP
if you want TWRP installed on the phone, follow these instructions:
Run:
Code:
cd Downloads
adb reboot bootloader
Then run:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-rs988.img
Unplug the battery. DO NOT BOOT THE PHONE INTO THE SYSTEM. YOU WILL LOOSE TWRP.
Put the battery back in, then press "Volume Down" and "Power" at the same time, AND THE MOMENT THE LG LOGO APPEARS release and then press and hold the power button but CONTINUE TO HOLD VOLUME DOWN. Then use the volume and power buttons to select "Yes" both times and wait for the phone to boot TWRP. (dont worry, the factory reset program was replaced by TWRP)
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select all except "micro SD" and "USB OTG"
Swipe to Wipe
On your computer, there should be a RS988 device under File Explorer.
If you want stock, Keep going. If not, find whichever rom you want, and follow their instructions, copying the files required to the "Internal Storage" of the RS988 device.
Stock flashable ZIP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754454673 (if you want stock)
Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 (choose "Latest Stable" under downloads)
Copy the ZIP to the Internal Storage of the RS988 device on your computer, along with Magisk, and the TWRP img you downloaded earlier.
On TWRP, choose "Install" then select "RS988_21d-Stock_Flashable-COMPLETE.zip" and swipe to install.
Once installed, press the home button.
Press "Install" and choose the Magisk zip, and install.
Once done, Press home
Press "Install" then "Install Image" and choose the TWRP image.
Choose "Recovery" and swipe to flash.
Click "Reboot System"
That is it! I hope this helped a few people out. This might need to be standard procedure for all RS988 devices, I'm not sure.
Let me know if I need to change anything, or If a part is confusing to you. I'll see what I can do to Improve.
Thanks,
