in short: i need the mojo`s stock android rom in a form wich i can flash with twrp!
Hey Guys,
i am new here. i can t undersund why i can t directly write this thread in the mojo dev section where it belongs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad-catz-mojo/development
it says i have not enough rights for that - not understundable for me.
to the case:
already from the beginning i had the mojo, i worried becouse there were no recovery system like romanger or twrp available. i worried, if i make me the whole work, with installing configuring apps and system and an error occured, that i will have no posibility to play a working backup back and exact like that, it was comming:
suddenly sixaxis app wasn t working anymore and gave me the error-message: couldn t load hcl-library-something.
i deletet data and cache of this app, deinstalled, reinstalled, still the same proplem. so my worst nightmares came true.
now i had the choice to set the system to factory defaults (not sure if with this the spoken error were fixed) and lose everything and make the whole work again, or forget it and put the mojo to ebay or to look if in the meanwhile a recovery system is available so that i would have the whole work again, but then, through the posibility of recovery i am on the safe side.
so i decide it and i found out that now a twrp was available and and a unoffical cm12 rom:
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][mojo] CyanogenMod 12 Mad Catz M.O.J.O: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mad.../rom-cyanogenmod-12-mad-catz-m-o-j-o-t2976401
let me say, that i am not a linuxfreak or a nerd. i see me as an enduser. i want to use things only, i don t have the time, nerves and even the intention to be more.
explanation: if you want for example fly to anywhere, you must not know how exact a plain is working, becouse you only want to use it.
so you buy an ticket jump into the plain and thats it.
i say that through i am no expert, i managed to install twrp and i managed to flash the custom rom.
then the problems began. after flashing it seems that i have no root. so i must research an half day to find out that you must hit seven times dev options to give the root setting free. i don t understund why people do this and don t give this information clear out. if anyone is able to install an costum rom, then you must not save him, with trying to hide the posiblity of root! this makes no sense for me.
my problem actual is that i need the stock rom, becouse the only thing i ever wantet was a working recovery system and this i have now.
i only installed the cm12 rom, becouse there was no stock rom, so i have had no choice.
I hope anyone can provide me the orginal mojo stock rom that i can flash it with twrp.
so if possible, please help me.
best regards
p.s.: forgive me my bad english wich isn t my foreign language. my german is much better

Hi,
I'm not an andriod expert , and i too have no interest in trashing my mojo.

Flash, the remix OS rom first and then flash this rom. It has to do with the partition structure. i was also unable to flash the stock rom after having CM12 on my mojo, but I first flashed remix OS and then was able to flash the stock rom.
I'm now running the stock rom happily and will not go back to any custom roms. The bottom line is that there is just one dev doing custom rom work and while I appreciate his work, It just doesn't seem like any of the custom roms are there yet in regards to stability.
Is there a keyboard sequence to get into recovery? I have bricked my MOJO because I failed to realize that it failed to flash the stock firmware after I wiped it.
(EDIT) I found a solution to the above!
Okay so the method I used to get into recovery is to use the MoDaCo root tool and edit the superboot-windows.bat file and change boot.superboot.img
to twrp-2.8.7.0-mojo.img. Of course you have to have the TWRP image as well to do this. This got me into TWRP, but the following issue still stands.
Okay, I can't seem to get Remix OS or the factory rom to install, CM12 installs fine though, anyone know how to fix this?
Side note:
I have a TWRP backup of my other MOJO but TWRP doesn't see anything when I choose restore, and I have tried choosing internal and SD card for the source to no avail, does anyone know how to get around that? Or is this just a current issue with this version of TWRP on the MOJO?
Please help need mojo stock rom
Hello all some reason my stock rom didn't back up and I've lost it please if anyone can help I need the stock rom for madcatz mojo thank you

If you still have issues entering recovery install terminal emulator from play store
Make sure usb debugging enabled in developer options
Then open terminal emulator and enter following commmnds you will need a keyboard for this Then follow these steps
Adb devices (enter)
Adb reboot recovery (enter)
Then you should be in twrp
Alright, so following some prodding, searching, and questioning, I flashed MIUI V6 to my BLU Vivo Air alongside TWRP.
I will update this post with a detailed, step-by-step guide including my own personal mirrors for your convenience and those of you without 4PDA accounts, which is the Russian equivalent of XDA.
Upon booting, I noticed apps force closing without being launched. Namely Hangouts and Newsstand. I'm sure reinstalling them will resolve the issue rather quickly.
Stay tuned for updates.
Update 1:
TWRP had difficulty mounting data and cache for me, and was unable to format them. This led to applications force closing, window mishaps, and accounts glitching out. I just flashed Carliv recovery, and flashed MIUI with it. Flashing gapps at the moment, and will update you on my progress.
Update 2:
Currently attempting to format data (success), cache (success), and dalvik (success).
Update 3:
Rebooting into MIUI V6, checking if I've entered a bootloop.
5 seconds - Boot animation reached, "MIUI Pro."
165 seconds - Still booting.
180 seconds - Setup screen reached, MIUI V6 flashed successfully.
Update 4:
Google apps flashed successfully, no redraws or force closes this time. Had an issue with the keyboard not registering as being selected, Google voice typing appeared as the default. Pull down notification shader and "choose input method" to select MIUI Smart Keyboard. Signed into Google successfully. Will run preliminary tests on video playback, camera, and multitasking.
Guide:
If you mess up your phone, it is on you, and I am not to be held liable for your actions. This is your responsibility. A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine. With that out of the way, if you encounter troubles, I am more than happy to help you.
Step 1:
Root your phone using one of the links provided. Click HERE for method 1, or HERE for method 2. I personally used method 1 because it was the first I saw. They both get the job done.
Step 2:
Install THIS application (Settings -> Security -> Unknown Sources), and install a recovery. I installed Carliv recovery, and had no problems with it. You can also install TWRP, however, it had issues mounting data and cache. This left it unable to factory reset when I flashed MIUI, which subsequently led to problems. I do not recommend flashing TWRP - You have been warned. Carliv recovery says it can't "mount" cache, although when formatting it does so without a problem. I believe Carliv is supposed to be touch-based, although the touches weren't responding for me. The controls are as follows: Volume +/- for navigating, Power for selecting, and the Back key for, you guessed it, going back.
Step 3:
Install MIUI V6, located HERE, and then install Google Apps, located HERE. After installing, factory reset the device from recovery and reboot into the system. I posted my timestamps at the top of the post, so you can get an idea of how long your flash/boot process should take.
Step 4:
Basic setup. Be ready to fix your keyboard if you had the same issue I did, which isn't even necessarily a problem. Choose WLAN network and sign into your accounts, then you're good to go.
To root the ROM, I recommend finding "iRoot" for your computer. Then boot to recovery and install the SuperSU zip, as it's better than the root app which comes with the iRoot method.
Enjoy your ROM, and be sure to thank our Ruski comrades over at 4PDA!
Special thanks to @DvDwx. (research), @itsJohnuno (answers), and @Milly7 (testing).
All download links are being hosted by me, and I recommend creating mirrors of your own as safety precautions in the event that the files are removed or become unavailable.
Have a phenomenal day or night, possibly even both. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.
Nice Guide ;D

I didn't create the resources in the ROM, I just made a guide to flashing ROMs using a specific ROM as an example. I would feel bad posting it in the developer section because I don't wish to be given credit for the ROM. I didn't make it.

I do have root with Kingroot. So I just need to keep trying until it successfully flashes?
Edit: The app mlp RIO recovery installer constantly freezes on me not allowing me to flash any of the recoveries.

You can also try iRoot. Install SuperSU and try using it as the root granter for the recoveries.

Yeah. I've also noticed that downloading updates is botched, because it downloads an update for a different phone model. If you try to install it the installation will fail, but it won't hurt your phone.
All in all it's a pretty solid ROM for me.

I'll post some tomorrow. Re-read the past 5-6 posts and you'll see the bugs. I think you'll like it. MIUI is certainly different (settings default apps) and such, but it's a formidable ROM and performs relatively well.

Our Buddy @SSJGohon found the kernel source code and already shared on some topic(i Already re-shared that on Cyanogen Mod to Mediatek SoC's Development thread... but anyone there say nothing about it... and already shared on 4PDA to maybe the MiUi developer can Bring something to All...). i already downloaded and already start my research about what can be maked with that and for sure have a possibility to we have a custom Kernel and maybe Custom ROM like PURE AOSP, AOSPA... but Cyanogen Mod is more difficult because we don't have a updated Repo Source from MediaTek to work like Driver Blobs to GPU, Bluetooth, Wifi Drivers... etc
My real problem is i don't have all skills to make a custom kernel to Mediatek SoC because a lot of things change from Qualcomm to Mediatek.. but if anyone here want to try development that just search the topics with @SSJGohon comments replays :highfive:

I've already installed the ROM, it runs smoothly! You were right, I really like it! I had an issue trying to format /data, it took like 15 minutes, and did a hard reset (pressed power button for a few seconds) and tried to format again and it worked. Im a little bit worry cause I've had 2 radom reboots so far.. Any idea of what has happened to me?
I left my phone charging and came back to get it. It was stuck on the google logo, I am able to boot into recovery but it says No Installed.
Is their anything else I can do other than flash it again.
I was thinking maybe the wrong partititon was checked, but everything looks fine.

Assuming that the ROM is still there, you can dirty flash the ROM zip over it, and see if it works. There's no harm in trying that.
But "No OS Installed" simply means that your /system or /boot parition are not detected (means, they are empty). Now of course, the last resort is to flash the ROM all over again.

You need to provide more information. Are you on the stock ROM or a custom ROM? Stock recovery or TWRP? Had you made any changes to the device recently?
Someone please help. I just rooted my 6P. Did a little bit of doing. Phone would never boot just the round circles. So went into TWRP and tried to wipe to start fresh, not it says no OS installed. I have no ROMS's on the phone. No boot images. Been a while since I've done this. Really need help on this one. Thanks.
Download the dp3 , boot into bootloader, connect to PC run installer script after you unzip the factory image " flash all" sit back and wait for phone to reboot.

Hey thanks a lot. Couple things, and I apologize in advance for not knowing this already.
1) what's dp3
2) how do I run installer script?
I know I shift right click and open a cmd window within fastest - where I'll unzip the file - and I know how to get the phone into Bootloader.
Again, sorry for asking for simple explanations.

Download any ROM ( like pure Nexus) and gapps
You can use USB otg to flash the ROM using twrp or transfer the ROM file from your PC to your phone in twrp (it supports mtp)
Simply flash ROM and gapps and viola

Download the required ROM and gapps, connect your phone to pc , type in google, Mini adb and fastboot, a page on XDA itself will come, download it, its small and install.
Then copy the ROM and gapps package to the location of the installation of the application.
Now open your recovery and tap on adb sideload, and swipe(twrp)
Go to your PC, open adb application a cmd will appear, type adb devices, it will start a daemon then will give you your device number, a number should appear. Then type
Adb sideload """"name of your ROM package""".zip
It will start installing, wait for few minutes.
Do the same for gapps
Adb sideload " name of gapps package ".zip
Then reboot
Its fixed

Why are you telling him to install the Developer Preview? He wouldn't want that unless he's actually asking for it, which he isn't.

Developer preview 3 is a Android N preview and it is very fluid, battery life is good on stock and reason I recommend this because it is simple to do, gives you good options within the ROM and is good overall but that's just my opinion.

Why are you telling him to install the Developer Preview? He wouldn't want that unless he's actually asking for it, which he isn't.

Lol. Maybe you missed the title under my name.
The dev preview isn't what he asked for, it isn't an easy solution, it isn't easy to come back from if he doesn't like it, it isn't even remotely what he needs. What he's looking for is a simple way to get his phone booted up and working again (a very simple request), and what you're suggesting is he install a beta OS (a complicated "solution").
If you really have a problem with a moderator requesting that a member posts in one place at a time (as per our rules), then I'm gobsmacked. If you'd care to look at the advice I gave him in the guide thread where he also posted you'd notice that I gave two solutions that:
A) Actually address the simplicity of his problem.
B) Give two simple, easy to execute, solutions that are the most common solutions you'll ever see anyone give a member in his situation. Solutions that don't involve having to install a developer preview that he never asked for.
I get that you're trying to help him, but the "solution" you provided him isn't right for his situation at all. There was no need to become defensive and aggressive when this was pointed out.

Download the required ROM and gapps, connect your phone to pc , type in google, Mini adb and fastboot, a page on XDA itself will come, download it, its small and install.
Then copy the ROM and gapps package to the location of the installation of the application.
Now open your recovery and tap on adb sideload, and swipe(twrp)
Go to your PC, open adb application a cmd will appear, type adb devices, it will start a daemon then will give you your device number, a number should appear. Then type
Adb sideload """"name of your ROM package""".zip
It will start installing, wait for few minutes.
Do the same for gapps
Adb sideload " name of gapps package ".zip
Then reboot
Its fixed

I'm copying files over to my Nexus now using MTP from TWRP. Can't I just copy evrything over and flash that way? Man, this seems so much more complicated than back in the day. Thanks.
Crap, wrong thread! Sorry! Got confused.

Dear
The method of using "supersume", doesn't work surely. I tried it personally.
And the other link u provided is for replacing kingroot with supersu only.
I made this thread for people to get the whole procedure at the same place, no need to Google more.
Hope you understand ?
And ur question is really appreciated ?

Doesn't work for me. Did everything exactly like you said, but trying to update supersu binaries didnt work.
I then rebooted and got a soft brick until I wipe dalvik and cache from recovery.

Bro now tell me, is that problem still exists.
If yes.
U can just flash system using Twrp backup.
And then follow the procedure again but with a new version of kingroot.
Bro this method is personally used by myself, and always works for me. You can check the images.zip file. That is my own phone.
No fake things, my only motive.
????
What do you mean does it still exist. I literally just tried it yesterday.
I used the newest version of Kingroot and still that happened, but then again I dont use stock rom so that is probably interfering with it.
I probably just stick with Kingroot, it doesnt seem so bad.

And being an xz user, u can join WhatsApp group for xz, there u can find the solution (same as above, many people did like this only)
Or find another thread.

Tried this method. The phone was stuck at the bootanimation. I forced restart it and now it is stuck at the App Optimization page.
C6002, 5.1.1, Bootloader Locked, Completely Stock. Any help?

This is just a simpler, more detailed guide on how to root this phone.
Forgive me for the lack of pictures, its pretty straightforward anyways. I have included a .rar with this post that has all the essential files you will need.
(I only compressed the .rar, everything else credit goes to the creators)
1. Download the rootpackage.rar i have included, and decompress to somewhere safe.
2. Install SugarQct and install the drivers that came with it. (In the SugarQct installer, not the usb driver folder)
3. After that has finished, open the usb driver folder and run the setup.vbs script there. It should only take a second or two to run.
4. Plug phone into pc.
5. Place supersu.zip onto phone. You can put this anywhere, doesn't really matter.
6. Turn phone off and place into download mode. (Phone must be plugged in to allow download mode)
4. Open sugar with phone plugged in. Be sure to upgrade sugar if you can't see the 6055u in the list.
Set to 6055u, go to options, select save user data. Now press upgrade.
5. While sugar is downloading overwrite the r*****.mbn in bin/6055-*****. This folder appears once you start to download to the phone. You must rename the twrp_recovery_idol4_6055.img to the name of the r*****.mbn.
6. Overwrite again while files are being written. Do this as many times as you please. I only overwrote it more than once as a safety precaution.
7. Before sugar has completed fully, but after files are written, this should be around the time when it starts to download more files. As long as the writing completes you are good to go.
8. Turn phone on and enter recovery mode (power + volume up).
9. In the custom recover menu tap install and install the supersu.zip from the directory you placed it in.
10. Give it a couple of seconds (mine took 30 or so)
11. Allow phone to be rebooted and its now rooted!
Now I've had some interest in using magisk instead of supersu, but i haven't been able to install it after supersu. Choose your rom to flash wisely, as its a pain in the ass to go back from.
Please enjoy your newly rooted Alcatel Idol 4!
Thanks all!
P.S. If someone can dump their standard rom before they flash supersu.zip onto their phone, i'd like to try and find a way to get a custom rom goin and that would help.
I'm not seeing the download for the .RAR file. Am I missing something?

I thought i attached it to the thread, give me a second and i'll try again.
Edit:
It seems my rar is too large, i'm headed to work now, but i'll try and get something uploaded in a bit.
Thank you. Much appreciated. Also,can I unplug the phone before rebooting to recovery,or does it have to be plugged in!

As far as i know it doesn't have to be, but when i was successful i believe i had the phone plugged in. I did try to do somethings earlier today and unplugged the phone, and it was not successful. I do not know if it was because i unplugged the phone or if it was because i had failed to rewrite the recovery flash.
Thank you. I actually didn't want to wait for .rar so I just pieced the files from the forum here. Thank you anyway,at least somebody else will get the RAR. Also,my phone was plugged in when it worked.
I got magisk working for me I unistalled super super went into twrp and installed magisk ( I needed magisk to play fire emblem heroes lol) I'm not sure if I did something else but that's what I remember doing
Is this guide working for all the idol 4 variants or just for the cricket one? I've got the 6055k and I'm wondering if this guide works for my phone too.

Theres another guide for the 6055k, i'm not sure if this will work for that one. I know it works for the cricket version and i see no reason why it wouldn't work for the 6055k, but it is a better idea to follow the guide made for the 6055k.

Would you mind checking if snapchat works on magisk? I know it doesn't work on supersu, and i've unrooted my phone because i was having troubles getting it installed after supersu.

Thanks for the info, but funnily enough i'm having difficulties getting the damn thing rooted again.
Thanks for the write up, I've flashed and reflashed many times... you have to be carefully about when you interrupt the process. Also know that a newer version is out. Cheers mate.
I'm not sure if it's the latest version of Sugar, but I've been trying so many times, but to no avail. Has anyone had any luck on the new version?
SUGAR QCT_SP V11.3.0
I've gotten to the point that when I start the upgrade with Sugar, it says my phone is already rooted. However, when I try to access Recovery, there is no option to install TWRP. It looks like it just loaded the same old recovery...no matter how fast and how many times I replace the Rxxxxxx.mbn file.
Cheers,
Wickster
6055p
is there any guide to root 6055p model
no luck getting this to work guys, could really use some help
Having the same problems as PizzaG - tried all the timing tips no TWRP
Having the same situation as PizzaG - same Cricket version, using the newer version of Sugar QCT 11.1.3. I've tried starting right after it reaches the last written file (4095M), Ive even tried waiting until you get the vibrate and Alcatel logo (which happens at the very end of the download, but was someone's tip), same story, boots into Android recovery. Any other tips?
Possible Solution to Rooting Troubles
I was having the same troubles as the above posters. What seemed to be the problem was that I had set a pin code to unlock my device, which made it encrypted. Unfortunately, the only way to remove a pin is to do a factory reset. Anyway, I did a factory reset and ran sugar immediately after - making sure to start the phone before sugar finished - and it worked! Perhaps there is something simpler to do and I didn't have to do a factory reset, but I don't know what that is, and this worked.
Someone have try with the 6055A?
hmm, im noticing mine says encrypted as well but i never set anything for security. just the swipe. @ ThisEndsInTears did you do a factory reset from stock recovery or from withing the phone settings? Thanks much, hopefully one step closer to getting this rooted. Y has nobody developed cm for 6.0.1 for this? cm13 im pretty sure it is
