Hi,
I am having really bad issues with my Alcatel One Touch Idol S OT-6034R and need to reflash it back to stock. On Sammy phones their is an option as everyone probably knows of emergency firmware recovery. Not so with Alcatel. i tried their "One touch upgrade" software but it says it is already the latest version, which yeah I know it is but I want to reflash it. I tried calling Alcatel and they said it must be sent off. Really? For something I could fix myself if only they just provided the stuff to do it. If anyone has any ideas where I could get the stock zip file that I can flash with stock recovery or other files I could grab to force the flash then please help with anything you may have.
Many thanks, I know never to buy Alcatel again but until I can afford another phone I am stuck with this one.
I have the same issue, I swapped the settings.apk and settingprovidor.apk from the wrong custpack and not its stuck in a boot loop.
I have the original files but can't add them back to the phone
anybody?

Can you not ADB PUSH them back to the phone with it in recovery mode? might fix your issue possibly.

Hi, everyone!
I have the same problem. Everything worked fine untill I changed some values in build.prop. Since then the phone freezes on operator logo when I try to boot.
I can boot to CWM and restore previously made backup, but no results, can't boot to system.
When I try with ADB; "fastboot -i 0x1bbb erase boot.img" it tells me that partition table is missing..... Is it possible to restore partition table informations? Any further thoughts?

Leave the erase command, just boot into cwm, format the system, custpack, reboot to bootloader and flash the files Will working too
The custpack file seems to be wrong. I've managed to flash the files but this version of custpack leads to bootloop. I found another version custpack on the french forum and with it booted successfully but... NO WIFI, NO GSM. And the "Baseband version" is Unknown.

Can you please explain us more about this last resource?
In folder BS472 there are 3 files... isn't "custpack.img" to small? And should we rename "boot-bs472.img" and "recovery_bs472.img" to "boot.img" and "recovery.img" before flashing?
And about two ROMs; first is just 70 Mb in size and the other is 233 Mb? Are they both working as standalone ROMs or something else? Should we flash it with CWM?
Maybe flashing ROM will resolve all problems?
What about other folders and files within?
Sorry for lot of questions, but this phone is a frustrating experience for me...

Sorry, but my english is bad. But yeah, i know, i spent 3 days (0-24) to fix this phone. For me the reflash custpack, boot and system img worked from my first post. From mediafire folder need just the 2 roms. the first 70mb is only the system. The orange rom i think the full rom. Yes, every two are cwm flashable. Try to flash the img-s in bootloader mode after flash the 70mb rom with cwm. If dont work make a factory reset with cwm and flash the 233mb orange rom. This phone's software like a nightmare. No source code, everything is different like in other phones and nobody knows the different between the 6034 and 6035. I better like my OT-991 with MTK soc...
@gabcs
Unfortunatelly, after no success in searching for solution (couldn't find the ROM), two weeks ago, I gave up and sent my phone to service center and I hope that they will resolve the problem. Big and frustrating issue was that I couldn't get to bootloader any more, so the phone couldn't recieve adb commands, only thing that worked was CWM...
Service center will resolve that for 20 euros, and I will resolve my nerves
Anyway, thank you for your time and your help.
@zlamar,
what happened with your phone? Did you managed to have it repaired/restored? My phone is still bricked and It seems the problem is to find the appropriate custpack image as the french versions don't work for other countries.
Still nothing.... Service center where I gave it for repair isn't authorised and they didn't resolve the issue.
Does anybody have a full CWM backup image, and is willing to share it and upload it somewhere?
It has nothing to do with authorization, they just don't have alcatel service access.
There is special alcatel service flasher, that works online, and is intended for Qualcomm platform.
I played with it, and re-flashed my 6016x (MSM8210 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 200).
If you were somewhere closer, I would repair it for 20€ very fast and effiecent
@pmarkov ... I have original files but they are useless, because no any flasher to use them.
b.r.
ALex
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the clarification. Obviously this magic flashing tool is only internaly available for authorized service providers. Today I contacted the official local partner of Alcatel and they were positive they can handle the reflashing for approx. 20 EUR. Let's hope they really will fix it.

I need the Stock Recovery for T329w as by mistake flashed Single sim recovery. I am from India and using Stock ROM with JB (version 4.1.1).
Flashing the "recovery_signed.img" inside the folder of this Download would be helpful?

Searched, couldn't find any dual sim roms apart from the one in this thread

thanks for your help though..
This is what i plan to do :
Download and flash TWRP for t329w
Transfer http://pan.baidu.com/s/122oNL (version 1) to SD Card and the recovery_signed.img and boot_signed.img to SC Card
Reboot phone to recovery
Choose Wipe then Swipe to Factory Reset
or the best is Select Advance Wipe, tick all except sdcard then swipe to wipe
Select Install and select the version1 rom.zip then swipe to confirm flash
Wait until the installation is finished
Reboot phone to fastboot and connect it to your PC
Open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
fastboot flash boot c:\boot_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

One last thing, I forgot to mention I had taken a NAndroid backup before installing the ROM. I restored it and did a full wipe/factory reset, but I think the kernel is the problem (it shows the kernel used by the single sim ROM)
So as of now, I'm just going to flash the boot and recovery, coz boot_signed should change the kernel.
Also, this folder contains other images such as radio, hboot, dzdata etc. what are these for and would they help?
Thanks a lot for your help!!

There's a guy on FB who had a similar problem. He said he flashed a "brushed" ROM from a chinese forum (i got the links), well if you translate it means a modified ROM for the dual sim, right? He also said he was missing the RUU. Any help here would be appreciated.. Thanks a lot!

After restoring Nandroid, just fastboot flash the boot_signed.img and reboot and see whether it boot. It should work if the custom recovery is working well for your device. No need to fastboot flash recovery_signed.img first. Just boot and see whether it works. If it works then only you fastboot flash the recovery_signed.img if you want to.
Don't worry about other images as you can't flash those on a S-On device.

What do you mean shows Error : Cannot open boot.emmc.win ? boot.emmc.win is created by a TWRP recovery only. If there is one you don't have to "open" it, just copy it to your fastboot folder
Now you mentioned you use nexus prime as the recovery do you mean you use NexusRecovery ? Can you list here the file names inside the nandroid backup ? I don't think you have boot.emmc.win in NexusRecovery

Hmm, i went to Nandroid restore > Advanced restore > Restore boot

tried restoring the whole backup, doesn't boot.
even a wipe data/factory reset doesn't make it boot!
Will taking it to an HTC centre help? (I'm ready to pay some amt of money.)
Oh no... you don't know what fastboot flash means ? It is not using the recovery to restore boot. You need to copy the boot.img to your PC where you have all your fastboot files in a folder.
Try again this way as I don't have my PC with me. Replying to you with someone else PC.
In my ROM threads, you will see Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip in post #1. Download any of them then do the following
1. Download theBoot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip and extract it on your PC desktop
2. Reboot your DX to bootloader and connect to your PC (you should see the word "fastboot usb" in red color on the bootloader)
3. Open the Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x folder that you extracted, you should see a batch file Install Boot.img.bat there
4. Replace the boot.img with your boot.img (don't use the one that already in the folder). Try the boot_signed.img that you have, rename it to boot.img
5. Run that Install Boot.img.bat and when it stop just press any key to exit
6. Reboot
And yes, taking it to HTC centre will help but of course you need to pay them

Ohh, I just read it properly. I know what fastboot flash means. Using Android SDK > Platform tools > Shift+rightclick > open as command prompt > fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
I've already done it. This boot_signed.img in this thread seems weird.
After installing the custom ROM, restoring my nandroid backup, my phone was booting, but without the sim being recognized.
So I fastboot flashed the above (second post of this thread) boot_signed.img from c:\
But THAT boot_signed.img led to my phone being stuck in a bootloop > white start screen > turns black > try switching it on again > same thing
Hoped I could restore the nandroid boot using recovery advanced restore, but didn't work.
Will try fastboot flashing the MIUI boot.img (coz that's what was working initially, though without a sim, and the one in this thread's second post doesn't have a source), atleast that should get my phone booting. And will try searching for the boot of my nexus recovery backup, coz that will be the stock boot.img.
My last thing before I go to HTC .

I only flashed boot and recovery, not the others
So I relocked my bootloader after upgrading to marshmallow and forgot that I did that..... I tried to flash a stock boot img so I could utilize the ota, and it sort of bricked my tablet. Being a total dumbass I didn't realize that was the problem. Having had a similar issue before on my galaxy s4 where I follow a similar solution. I already have twrp installed, and it was asking for encryption for which there was none. So I wiped data and formatted to get past the encryption. On my s4 I was then able to reinstall the stock firmware and software. However when I tried to push the bootloader to my nexus I got this weird error.. can someone pleeeeeeease spare me and help me out. This tablet is my lifeline for college...
Don't get me in trouble for posting this image please lol, I just don't have enough posts. http ://i67.tinypic.com/v80vwl.jpg[/B][/B]
I figured it out, I was just being dumb. I just needed to use the fastboot commands and not try to use twrp

If your able to access the bootloader menu or the fastboot menu, you could flash the stock and would fix the brick,soft brick or boot-loop.
Head to Google developer nexus image. Download the factory image of your devices on your devices. Extract all the files and copy paste the fastboot and adb files. Head to your devices and open the fastboot menu.
Type the following commends to restore your devices if the flashall did not work.
Fastboot oem unlock
Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader....
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Fastboot erase boot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot flash system system.img (this could take up to 15 minutes, don't do anything to stop the process you can make your devices and a worst state)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash cache cache.img
Fastboot erase vendor
Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Fastboot reboot
This should fix your devices. I did not and it save each time I broke my device or anything similar.
If you want after all that. You can enter the following commends to relock your devices but don't make the same mistake you did before. If you want to avoid that same mistake just don't enter the commends.
What the guy above me said, also pro tip, some times not all the files will extract just keep extracting till all the image files are there.
Hi guys, after 10 hours of trying to get my P760 to life I finally, as a last resort, decided to open this threadh. Heres the deal, my friend gave me his P760 which was stuck at the boot logo, I firstly tried to fix it with LG mobile support tool but it got stuck at 15% after countless tries. Then I tried fixing it with Lg flash tool but it also gave me some errors "omap factory download fail lg p760". After that I couldnt access S/W mode anymore nor did the phone turn on, only black screen. When I connect it to my pc it just makes sounds of new device connected/disconnected. I tried this fastboot method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 but couldnt make it work. Is the phone completely dead or is there anything more I can try? Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.
What was done to brick it in the first place?

I am not sure, my friend brought it to me and he didnt know the reason. Anyway I managed to get into fastboot on another computer and i tried to flash x loader and uboot with the bulit in options and i get the following error "FAILED (remote partition doesnt exist). What can I do next? Thank you for the reply.
EDIT I have tried to get the phone in S/W mode using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44325657&postcount=4 but I couldnt do it.
I am sure I have to flash something in fastboot so it would be great if someone could point me to exactly what. Thanks again.
EDIT 2 I tried to flash xloader and u boot from post #7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242444 and it gave me the remote partition error failed again. Is the phone "officially" dead?
My experience with this phone is that it is basically unbrickable, at least software wise, thanks to omap4boot. Fastboot is basically telling you the partition you specified doesn't exist. Check you are using the correct syntax. It should be fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img and fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img (I am assuming the files are named u-boot.img and x-loader.img).
Another possibility is that the partition table of the phone somehow got corrupted. In my opinion this is very unlikely, but it could happen if the phone is disconnected while flashing the GTP table with LGFlashTool. Let's hope that's not the case.
Good luck.
@EdwinMoq thanks for the reply. I checked and I was using the correct syntax altough the files were named p1 and p2 both in bin format so I typed fastboot flash u-boot p1.bin and p2.bin respectively. Ive just noticed that they are from ICS and I am not sure what android version was installed prior to the brick. Can you point me where to find the JB files so I can try them if it makes any difference.

I don't think the u and x boot version makes any difference. The fastboot script here comes with with the files for both p760 and p769. Or you can ask a p760 user with the jb boot to dump them and post it here.

Well using that script was the first thing I did after I couldn access S/W mode and I got the partition error, I tried both ICS and JB. Well it would be great if someone could dump their JB boot so I can try that, if it doesnt work I guess Ill throw the phone away

I'm seeing you using lelus method to fastboot...
1) Be sure you are in fastboot whith this command: fastboot devices
2) if the l9 is still in lg logo, just flash a recovery img into boot and recovery partition:
a) fastboot flash boot recovery.img
b) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img3)reboot the device, it must enter in recovery mode by force.
4) once in recovery just flash a custom rom as you wish
Yes i am using lelus method and I see the device when I enter fastboot devices, the phone wont turn so there is no lg logo and I can not enter S/W mode. Where can I find the recovery.img and boot.img ?
EDIT Okay I tried this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585161 but when I issue the erase command it just gives me the remote partition error again. The chances that this is a hardware issue are pretty big.

A few tricks that might help:
-After a failed attempt to enter D/L mode via the volume key, force hard reset. Then switch on phone for an extra time and perform the hard reset again. This really makes a difference.
-If after unbricking the phone with a stock rom the puny LG recovery dialog resides on screen, perform the stock rom installation for a second time, phone should perform a normal boot then. Otherwise there's trouble with rooting and TWRP installation later.
-Fastboot still does not work for me(all?) in Win10, as it didn't in Win8.1,but did in Win7.
The only method to go on seems to root stock rom with Kango Root or a similar tool, then install Twrp, with Rashr or flashify.

Thanks for the reply. How do I perform the force hard reset? Yes, I couldnt get fastboot to work on win 10, on win 7 it works flawlessly.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with my p760, fastboot works so far but remote partition error and the phone stays always completely black.
Is there someone who has a new idea to fix it?

readme again... try to flash a recovery.img into the boot partition
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
and then reboot... this foce the l9 to enter in recovery and then you can fotmat partitions in wipe options

Elsewhere you must need a technician with a box like octopus box to recompone ESD partitions of the L9 phone
Hard reset is 10s power.
Such a swap of recovery and kernel could have happened after unbricking the phone, when the key combo for fastboot produces the LG recovery. That's why I flash stock twice, then it's right again & ready to root, install TWRP etc.
Thanks for the help guys, I tried everything possible...I think I did, but the phone just wouldnt unbrick so it is going into parts. Thanks again.

Srsly?
recovery partition image on boot?
Probably true. That would explain the strange behaviour of the key combos during boot, after unbricking the phone for the first time. The recovery has replaced the kernel, but the phone can still boot. Strange. Fastboot is unavailable, and the key combo for the recovery shows the "dead droid" and performs a factory reset.

Yes... is an effective method to boot by forced on TWRP or other recovery and then proceed to format all partitions and flash any rom consecutively. After flashing any rom the boot partition is rewrited by the boot.img of the rom.
I did this before on my own L9 for repair and other friends devices. Is totally safe
By the way, I'm not in warn
Hi All,
I've been crawling the web the past few days to find a solution to my problem and unfortunately I didn't...
I have a Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL MT6737M, I never did a custom OS installation before and didn't know anything about how phone works except the Linux kernel
After 2 or 3 weeks playing with custom rom and recovery, softbrick, fastboot and adb I finally successfully intalled a custom OS, I wanted lineageOS but only found an Himax image working properly (with bluetooth., etc) for my phone and TWRP as custom recovery.
I setted my parameters for all my applications and after inserting my SIM card the network was not working, I tried a factory reset from the phone and then I got stuck in twrp however the way I booted, I tried flashing the os again, the recovery again wiping/formatting data, I was still stuck in TWRP
Then I executed :
fastboot format:ext4 cache
fastboot format:ext4 boot
And now I can't boot nor in twrp nor in fastboot, I can't access the bootloader using power and volume up, and my phone bootloop
Is there a way to get to fastboot to reinstall the recovery and then from here the os or is my phone hardbricked with no future, ready for trash?
Thank you

You completely destroyed phone's boot-loader, what is comparable to a computer's BIOS.
What do you expect? IMO phone is case for the e-waste.

You NEVER format your boot partition as ext4 it's a raw boot.img which holds the kernel and ramdisk. You should really do research and follow instructions alittle better than that.. unfortunately I don't think your device can be saved and if you flashed aboot or sbl1/2/3 then your SOL
Thanks
Thank you for your answers!
I don't know why I did that (sometimes I have crazy bad ideas), I didn't see that on internet

That's okay! Please so make sure you do some research if your new to the custom OS scene.. it's always good to learn new things
maybe you can flash again like from the factory by using the default flashing and ROM tools.

If your in a Qualcomm chipset and you have an EDL programmer that works for your device I have custom tools in my cloud storage to create an EDL firmware if you don't ready have one. If your on MTK then there is Sugar MTK or SP flash tool that can work. If your an another one you may be out of luck as it seems nobody has been able to restore those chipsets

the biggest problem is i have reset the phone and i am stuck with this message: "to start android enter your password". I entered the correct password but another message appears with a reset phone option.
Since the recovery.img file is no longer in the system, the phone keeps making this loop.

If you can get into fastboot run the following:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot format:ext4 userdata
Then reflash your recovery

Thank you for your help, unfortunately it's a mediatek
Yes, Im stuck. Im on realme 5i and I flashed PixelExperience+ with TWRP, clean flash, made sure to wipe data and clear cache before and after flashing. I rebooted and boom, stuck on fastboot/bootloader. I can't go back to recovery mode or to system, it just takes me back to fastboot/bootloader. I backed up my files btw.
Supposed fixes that did not work:
1: Fastboot erase boot && fastboot erase dtbo && fastboot erase recovery && fastboot erase vbmeta && fastboot erase system && fastboot erase userdata and fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img && fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img && fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img && fastboot reboot-bootloader.
- it brings me back to fastboot when I try to go to recovery mode.
2: Push volume down/up and power button.
- it brings me back to fastboot when I try to go to recovery mode. (2)
3: flash stock recovery (I can't go to recovery so I cant flash stock ROM too)
- it brings me back to fastboot when I try to go to recovery mode. (3)
What else do I do? Am I missing something from the fixes I've tried above?? I am in need of urgent help.
Update: I've tried realme flash tool, for stock ROM and it says cannot find central directory.
I've tried putting the ofp to AppData/Roaming/flashtool/temp as said from another thread. I've also tried running in administrator but none work. I've ran out of luck today, please help.
Phone: Realme 5i
Story: I had my phone get a custom recovery, TWRP. Got it rooted. Before I rooted it I rolledback to android 9, ColorOS, bw. Then decided why not use a custom ROM? So I did. PixelExperiencePlusEdition ANDROID 12. I flashed it with TWRP, factory reset and cleared cache, in other words, clean flash. I'm hopeless cause once I rebooted, I got sent to fastboot then when I tried to go to recovery mode, it sends me back to fastboot! What do I do? I need help. please.
Update: So maybe I am doing the 1st method wrong. I got all the img files wrong, cause I need them from my stock firmware right? So I tried programs to extract those img from their new.dat.br files right? I did and the extractors keep giving me something is missing, line this and that is incorrect or something like that. I'm really hopeless. Can someone give me the img files of RMX2030EX_11_OTA_0210_all_1hZhuZlgVC1t? system.img, boot.img, vendor.img, vbmeta.img, dtbo.img? What else am I missing to manually flash it?
I am facing the same issue as well, I had downloaded the RMX2030EX_11_C.75_210917_1b9832bb file and extracted using https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_decrypt but the first method still didn't work. was is the wrong file? or did the decryptor didn't work properly idk.

I can't find a file on realme software page with this name where did you get the file? plus does your variant has Qualcomm or Mediatek CPU? I saw a video where it stated that this phone has two variants one with Qualcomm and other with Mediatek(Helio) CPU.
Edit: Do an MD5 check maybe your file got corrupt..
I managed to fix, you will need download these files from telegram. one of them should work for me the ColorOS file worked. Follow the instruction given in the readme file and that should do. I am installing DotOS now it showing the splash animation from last 5 minutes, if it works i'll update the comment or will provide further instructions to fix.
FastbootFix-Realme-5-5i-5s~RUI.zip
FastbootFix-Realme-5i~Color OS.zip
Edit: the reason it was taking so long to bootup and was stuck on splash animation is that I forgot to format (type yes).

I got it from this:
This is what I used to rollback to android 9 cause another video said I had to do this first before rooting. It worked though then custom ROM happened and now phone's bricked. Hasn't been used ever since.
I'll do MD5 if your fix didn't work.
Hey um, Im a turtle and Im reading the .txt from the link you gave the color os one specifically. So Im at the step where I have to Double Click "Open This to Proceed" file to start the process. What is this "Open This to Proceed" exactly?

I only got to step one which you said to get firmware and flash it. I flashed it and my phone rebooted but it keeps restarting. I can still flash images but I cant seem to fix this "reboot loop" and the tool you gave doesnt fix it either. What Im guessing is C73 isnt my firmware version since this phone is years old? Do you know how to delete the firmware so maybe the tool you gave me would work again and I can start over once more?
Edit: Im once again stuck in fastboot btw.
Edit: I fixed the rebooting loop with the stock recovery.bat from the file you gave me but when I do the "open this to proceed" it goes back to rebooting automatically. I still want to remove the C73 firmware though.
