[Q] Easier way to make .img file

Hi I'm looking to test my new ROM on AVD and I know that you can do this with a data.img file. Well I was curious if there was a different way to create one other than nandroid. I don't want to brick my phone if my rom doesnt work just to create a nandroid backup. Is there any way to test the ROM before flashing it? Or create a data.img file from computer? Thanks for any help

Trial and error is the name of the game... Worst case scenario go

... What exactly are you nervous about testing? Im not familiar with using AVD so i cant help you there... Are there particular system apps your nervous about or are you worried it wont boot/boot loop?

[Q] [ROM stock] I'm searching for Alcatel OT-4033D ROM

Hi,
As the title suggests I'm looking for the original firmware of the Alcatel OT 4033D because, after I bricked mine, I can't find a working ROM for my phone (I've tried various ROM for MT6572 processor and Android 4.2.2 but I don't read the SD card and the SIM (Although setting the correct IMEI))
If someone is own this device could make me a dump? I just need the file "system.img", the others I already have.
PS: It's okay if it's not the file .Img but the zip of the partition with the files contained in /system
Thanks in advance to who answers C:

I installed CWM using MTK droid tools, then I made my backup. System is the same, difference is your phone is from Europe and mine from Latin America.

Can u tell me how did u installed CWM? I can't find the compatible image..
Or, if u want, can u upload it? So I'll do a backup and I'll upload it! TY
Edit:
I've installed CWM 5 ad I did a nandroid backup.. It's 1.6GB ( uncompressed ).. So, I'll begin to upload it 31 night (GMT+1) splitted in parts in MEGA or MediaFire.
If someone can test it is better, but it should work!

Thank you for that n1osbb2;51494733.
I also have a bricked one, it gets stuck at animation. I can boot into stock recovery.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix it?
Another idea is if we could change the firmware version number to something lower, then the Alacatel "Mobile Upgrade S" would be essentially forced to overwrite it. Right now it sees my phone's version as up to date and stops there.
So... Is it at all possible to alter the firware version number on the phone?
edit
n1osbb2, could you please take a backup with MTK Droid Root & Tools as well?
You can find it here under Android Software and Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi, the backup by MTK droid tools fails everytime, I'm trying to debug the error.. If I have sucess I'll upload it.
BTW you can try another methods:
-Flash the CWM using MTK droid tools ( if you want the modified recovery,img I can upload it, or if u want MTK generates the img automatically: there is a guide on google; and then you can flash my backup without user data trought the CWM
If u want CWM make adb works, so you can do a backup of your firmware in order to can come back in the prevoiuos situation if it's needed
OR
-Using the latest version of SP flash tools, u can flash the system.img that u can find in my CWM backup. The latest version have no bugs with the generation of the scatter file, so it could work, but I'm not sure
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand..
Let me know if one of this methods works, thank you!

Thanks for the reply.
Is the modified recovery.img not the one included in the zip you uploaded?
Re the second option, there is no system.img inside - that's the reason I asked for a MTK Droid Root & Tools backup.
The contents of your zip are these:
Code:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar

I confused the system.ext4.tar with the system.ext4.img
So, I have done half MTK droid backup (it stops when it give me the error, so is not thecomplete backup, but the system.img os ok..) and there is the system image file.. I can upload it 5-04 night (GMT+1) or maybe this night. I'll post the link when it's uploaded.
The firmware of the 4033D have the custpack partiotion too, adn I don't know if it's needed too, so if the flash of system.img fails I'll upload the custpack too
The recovery with CWM is here: https://www.mediafire.com/?bg4rtah9tsbhszs
EDIT: I done a full backup with MTK adn I prepared files for flash tool. I compressed it all in ~460MB archive, t should contain everything. The upload time is the same!
EDIT2 4-3-14 0051 gmt+1: I'm uploading it on Mediafire! It's a high compressed arc archive, so it can drop the pc perfomance while extracting, so have patience
With my connection it wants a lot of time, it say ~8hrs

How To Create a Flashable ZIP File Through TWRP Using Update.app File ???

Hi
I Think the title says it all ....
so here is my problem
I have the L29C900B133 update.app file And I want to be able to flash it via TWRP
This Rom is the most complete Rom till today for mate 8 and I think flashing it will solve my problems including applying themes and missing vendor
So please help
How can I make a flashable zip file using this update.app file ??
If there is any method please let me know or send a link
And Before anyone says anything i already looked in huawei update extractor and using it you can make flashable zip files but huawei mate 8 partition map is not available yet and i'm afraid that if i use mate 7 partition map it will brick my phone
tnx in advance

something is wrong….after hwota8 there's a pic lx9 with build 8.0.0.046(0BKZ), google's app doesn't work, like playstore, chrome and other...It's impossible to flash another rom with hwota7 or Dload because erecovery, twrp are blocked...iI don't know what solutions are still possible...
