Hey all.
Easy question I hope! I've been following the guide to unbrick MTK devices, and have managed to get an original factory ROM to flash to the phone, green tick in SP Flash Tools. However, the phone still won't power on at all, save for the light if plugged into usb.
The ROM I've been using is an original factory rom named "ONE-TOUCH-4015X_POP_C1_FULL_STOCK_BACKUP" which is readily available online. I'm not sure what I did to brick it in the first place, but it was within SP flashtool. I May have formatted accidentally.
If someone coudl help I'll try to provide all logs or files requested but please tell me where these could be found as I'm not that good with flash tool.
To confirm the phone won't boot into any mode, recovery is dead, fastboot is dead....
same problem hope somone help us
also share ur backup please

Did you ever get the above rom to work? If so what did you do? Or did you find another method to unbrick the phone? Thanks.
Managed to unbrick my 4015 using Mobile Upgrade S 4.3.0 from the Alcatel Website.

Very simple to use, just install and follow instructions.

no work this version. yes 4015 but no 4015x
Sorry I should have put my phone is a 4015X not 4015. The application does say 4015 which I selected and all went well.
my 4015x no update, it not load, only work flash mode connected to pc and no work mobile upgrade.
4015X Partitions
the 4015x has a different set of partitions to the older (dual sim) 4015
i have a modded rom (kitkat), a modded stock recovery (as stock is also wrong, wont mount data) and a modded cwmrecovery.
i will be posting these soon
i will create a new post for the 4015x version
and will also be asking for other versions of the 4015 users to post me there partition trees and i will repack some recoverys and some roms for you all
note: there are 6 versions that i have seen and they may all have diff tables
hope these will help the pop c1 community

Hello!
This thread is quite old but near my case.
I have an Alcatel Pop C1 4015X (cpu MTK6572M) that can't start at all (only the power LED is ON).
I have a backup of this device made with "SP Flash Tool V5.1532.00" but I've error "not enough space" when
I try to restore it.
Same error when I try to restore just one file.
For example, I've tried to restore only the "Stock Recovery" you give above.
I do this:
- I start Flash_Tool v5.1532.00
- I open scatter file from my backup done with the same tool
- I unselect all pieces of the backup except "Recovery" and I browse to the "Stock Recovery" file I've dl
from this thread.
I've got this error : "not enough storage space (1011)"
What could be the problem ?
I makes me totally crazy !
By advance, thanks for your help.
Regards,
Freeman.

What i did was i used SPFT to flash a backup i found online. Can't post links, just google "ot 4015X Original SPFT ROM", what i used was the algerian rom. Then i flashed the EE stock rom. My own backup didn't flash back correctly either, that's why i used that one i fould online.
4015X unbricked !
Hello,
I found a similar solution here (replace * with . to get a correct http link):
forum*gsmhosting*com/vbb/f317/ot-4015x-firmware-arabic-bulgaria-africa-kenya-1946694/index2.html
It took me hours to find good stock ROMs (bulgarian & arabian then french via OTU) !
You'll have to "play" with pro_info and scatter file...
Good luck to all to unbrick your 4015x !

how to partition system storage space of onetouch pop c1?
I tried to install custom rom on my phone. Flashed wrong recovery, after changed to working recovery (which i had previously) phone didnt detect sim cards. I think it was because of system so thats why need system.img. And boot.img because read somewhere to flash boot.img using fastboot, so flashed and phone have bootloop now. Thank you from the mountain. So I think if i flash boot.img and system.img with fastboot it will work fine again.
EDIT: Found stock rom at russian forums gsmforums.ru and 4PDA forum
Phone working but I still have problem that it can't read SIM cards. It's dual sim and both sim cards don't working tried with some other cards and don't work too. Someone have any idea? It's wrong recovery flash problem? :/ Because phone can't read cards since i flashed wrong recovery and returned to working one. Thanks, hope for fast reply.
Help
I have found the ROM but it would be helpful if you could link it too. I haven't flashed android before and don't know how to do it properly, so it would be of great help if you could tell me how you did it. I have tried few things but with no success.

Sorry for the really late reply, but I've bought 3 new phones already in the meantime so I stopped watching the forum for the solution. Here's the link for the stock rom: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z You should be able to download it without any problems. If You encounter some problems then tell me in next reply and I'll upload the rom to the other hosting site. Next thing You should download is a file from this link: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z It contains scatter file which includes required info for SP Flash Tool to flash the image. Extract both files to the same folder on Your desktop so it'll be easier to find them. To flash the rom You have to download and install SP Flash Tool. It would be best if You'd follow the tutorial on YouTube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CxDF2pkdCQ Here's the link to SP Flash Tool official site: https://spflashtool.com/ In the flashtool You should select download agent which is inside the tool folder and is most likely named something like "MTKallinoneDL". Then You should select scatter file from the rom folder which is named something like "mt6752_android_scatter" The next step is to select the "download only" option from the menu. You should follow the video on how to install the drivers and what steps You should take to connect the device correctly to the pc. So once again:
1. Download all the files and extract them:
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d126368659a8/KK_4.4.2_stock_ Prestigio 3404 Duos.7z << stock rom
* https://cloud.mail.ru/public/c1e9138eac6e/backup.7z <<scatter file etc.
* https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012126 <<mtk preloader drivers
* https://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1824_Win.zip << Latest version of SP Flash Tool
2.Install the MTK preloader drivers as shown in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=219&v=sADkzyI8Z5Q
3.Open SP Flash tool and select download agent, scatter file and select "download only" option from the drop down menu. (NOTE: You should open SP Flash Tool as administrator to avoid any problems)
4.Select checkboxes for ANDROID, BOOTIMG, RECOVERY.
5.Click the downlaod button (before connecting Your phone)
6.Connect Your phone without battery to Your pc.
7.Now wait untill the message window pop-ups with "download OK" message.
If You have trouble using the SP Flash Tool here's another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKpt0TLE6_A NOTE: If You flash Your phone with "FORMAT ALL AND DOWNLOAD" You could erase Your IMEI partition which will result in another problems with phone calls etc. It's best if You select download only and select only these 3 partitions I mentioned earlier. If You encounter any problems please let me know in Your future reply.

I hope so. ?
Finally I succeed in installing a non standard recovery and in getting root permission.
I don't know if someone is still interested in such device, but here is the material you need.
In the enclosed zip you'll find:
recovery.img: it's a PhiltZ touch recovery (based on CWM), the only one I got working because it uses the phisical buttons of the phone. In this device the touch is not working in recovery mode. I tested all the main functions (wipe, install, backup e restore), and they are all working, the minor ones are untested. This recovery reads and writes only from internal storage (not from the external SD). To install it, you need "SP Flash Tool", which can be downloaded from Mediacom site, in the relative device page.
MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin e MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt: are the "download-Agent" and the "Scatter loading file" you have to use in SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery. The scatter file is already setted to flash only the recovery, not other parts of the firmware. Be sure, before flashing, that only recovery item is checked in the Download page of SP Flash Tool, with the proper recovery path in "Location".
BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip: it's the zip archive to get root permission. Install it via recovery, after you have tested that the recovery is working for you.
recoveryORG.img: it's the original recovery, for restoring purposes. Install it (if you need to restore your phone to the original state) with SP Flash Tool, in the same way.
N.B.: Of course, I do not take any responsabilities about brick or problems may occur to your phone after using this material. . If you decide to use it, you do at your risk, aware that this type of changes always involves a minimum of risk if something goes wrong.
Herewith enclosed the archive:

Has anyone been able to figure out how to root the Alcatel idealXTRA (5059r)? I have been able to make a modded boot image with Magisk but I can not flash it to my phone because I need a DA file for SP Flash Tool specifically for this phone
I've been able to unlock the bootloader with Android "Tool all in one" which i found on here sometime ago. Actually have gotten a "successful" flash thru adb bootloader but with no effect on the device. I've tried a variety of tools, you'll need MtkDroidTools (Mediatek specific tool) and a host of other things and pherhaps you'll have some luck. I however did not. It appears that this specific device and its hardware are simply beyond my skills in rooting which are extensive so I question the viability of the exercise all together. That being said I still devote multiple hours a month attempting.
SUCCESS!!
The DA file your speaking of is actually located in the SP Tool folders : \SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1904_Win\\MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin
Disclaimer this method is finicky at best but on my device has worked, I take no responsibility for bricked/destroyed devices nor voided warranties. This simply resembles the method I used to successfully root my Alcatel 5059r Device nothing more
Alright I'm going to do a small write up with links for you. I'm assuming you have your bootloader unlocked and Magisk rooting is sufficient bc if its not well your not going to be able to root this device. First we need stock firmware, magisk manager 7.0, and the flashing tool that works with this phones MediaTek CPU.
HTML:
https://alcatelfirmware.com/alcatel-onetouch-ideal-xtra-5059r
Here you'll find both the stock firmware and the SP Flash Tool for this particular hardware.
You'll also need the latest Magisk Manager app on your phone(great idea for after you root if you've saved it on your SD as well as its the first thing you want to install after). You can find that on XDA or Github or a simple google search.
In short you need to patch the stock firmwares boot.img with Magisk Manager in order to gain root.
Once you've downloaded your Firmware, Tool, and .apk of Magisk Manager extract the boot.img from the stock firmware .zip/.rar then move it a storage path somewhere you can find it on your device. THEN DELETE THE BOOT.IMG THAT REMAINS IN THE .ZIP FOLDER
Start magisk manager and you'll probably get a big red X on Magisk 18.1, press it and install > patch boot image, select the stock boot.img we extracted to your pc then moved to your device.
With the Patch_boot.img move it off your devices storage back onto windows. Then add it back into the .zip/.rar Stock Firmware folder. Now we have a complete set of stock firmware flashed with Magisk 18.1 and ready to go!
Now you have a properly rooted boot.img now onto the flash
SP Flash Tool is a finicky tool at best, I always got error codes but was successful. Start off by shutting off your phone and unplugging the USB if your connected.
Extract the patched stock firmware .zip/.rar
Extract SP Flash tool, and run the flashtool.exe
From here you can follow the basic instructions on the website I posted
If you need an Auth file run a search here in XDA and you'll find a nice little .zip with an Auth file in it that works.
Your Scatter file is in the stock firmware, Auth file above.
With your phone still off & disconnected and your 3 drop boxes on the SP Flash Tool full and looking like the guide on the website. Press download. Attach your phone to USB and hit Volume up or down. Here is kind of the tricky part and trust me error codes don't necessarily mean there was any error. I ended up using the windows chimes to tell when the device was picked up, it disconnects pretty quickly but in between connection/disconnect chimes you have enough time to hit download again and you should get a Red Line on the bottom of SP tool saying 100% Completed, although probably with an error code. I did this routine of flashing in between chimes probably 10 times.
Reboot and yes your phone has been wiped, first thing you'll want to do is reinstall magisk manager and with any luck you should have green checks beside both boxes.

Hi, I've just bought a Cubot P50, it's a Chinese brand and seems more than decent for the price, I've rooted it with Magisk and I want to install TWRP on it but can't find anything for that brand. Has anyone came across a TWRP that might work on it?

I have the same phone how did you root it ? If there a guide that is safe to use ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader first, this step will factory reset your phone https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-android/
On your PC:
1. Install Fastboot driver
2. Install MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed
3. Extract platform-tools
4. On your phone, Enable Developer Options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking
5. Unlock bootloader (this step will factory reset your phone): Phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC > fastboot devices > fastboot flashing unlock. Note this will cause the phone to show the "Orange State" warning on boot up. You can ignore this or remove it later.
(If device is unauthorised in ADB or Fastboot, go to Developer Options on phone, revoke USB debugging authorisation, disable then enable USB debugging. You should now get an authorisation confirmation dialogue when you try to connect with ADB/Fastboot. If not, type "adb kill-server", then "adb devices" or "adb start-server" in the command prompt).
6. Place boot.img on phone with USB file transfer (either from stock ROM, or read from phone using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win) and patch it with Magisk v5.2. NO need to patch vbmeta.img
7. Transfer patched boot.img back to PC
8. Flash the patched boot.img to phone either with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot command in ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Take care here, make sure it's the right image going to the right location and that ALL other files are de-selected, especially the preloader file, always de-select this when flashing any firmware unless you know what you're doing!
Phone is now rooted.

It is possible that in the future, developers may create custom ROMs and TWRP recoveries for the device, especially if it becomes popular among the Android community.
If a custom ROM and TWRP recovery becomes available for your device in the future, you will be able to flash it by following the instructions provided by the developer. Keep in mind that installing custom ROMs and recoveries comes with some risks, and it is important to backup your data and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your device.
Good evening, can you tell me the correct procedure for how to Root the Cubot p50 smartphone? Thank you.

Just get the latest version and follow the instructions I posted.
Thanks for your work on the Cubot phone .Im a fan of them also. I found that twrp recovery 3.40 works on the Note 20/20Pro you just have to flash vbmeta BEFORE and AFTER you flash twrp to the device. Im also seeing separate websites claiming twrp 3.40 is also used with the Cubot P40 model. I dont see why it wouldnt work with the P50. Its worth a shot. Also theres alot more "familiars" with Mediatek phones like these in Hovatek forum. Since you already have information on how to root maybe consider starting your own P50 thread over there.

I get it, but I have to flash the .bin to remove the yellow/red state on boot. I don't know how to install the lk.bin file. If you can help me. Thank you.
Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Good morning. Thank you for the information given.
I wanted to ask: is it necessary or useful to install an antivirus on your smartphone now that it's been rooted? Thank you.
I haven't but that's just down to personal choice really. It's certainly useful if you like to try stuff from unknown sources, although personally I've rarely encountered viruses on Android. I'm not saying they don't exist though.
Have you successfully rooted your phone then? What about TWRP, have you tried that yet?
