If you have flashtool, download the Stock firmware & flash that first (kernel inclusive). Report your findings.

Hi!
I assume you installed xRecovery on your phone.. If not, download xRecovery v001(must be 001, else it wont work). I assume ur phone is rooted too. Get a Root File Manager, copy the 3 files in the xRecovery package, mount the system as Read&Write in the corner of the File Manager, and paste the files in /system/bin ..
Now get the zip from the rom you would like (For me:GingerDXv023b).
Reboot the phone, as soon as it gets to the SonyEricsson logo, press the back button repeatedly, and it will get you to the xRecovery screen. With the volume buttons go to Install custom zip, and press the home button.. Then select Install Custom Zip from SD Card.
Install the ROM..
Don't reboot now, else you will be stuck in a bootloop.. Make a FULL WIPE..
It's a must when installing the ROM..
After the full wipe, reboot and enjoy your phone

Not quite. That's a MOD (modified ROM). If it however works for you, it's all good. If you need Stock, you can find one here: http://db.tt/oZZPbA43
Alcatel OT POP C7 (7041x) [BACKUPS/ROOT/CWM/TWRP/TOOLS/DRIVER] [STOCK & MIUI V5 ROMs]
Last Update: Mon. AUG-03-2015
Hello,
I had bricked my "just" 4 hours old C7 a week ago because i was stupid enough to delete the custpacks from root and /system folders without even making a backup.
I had not flashed CWM and only rooted the device with RomasterSu_2.1.4 (aka iROOT, some Chinese one-click root / KingUser app) and i could not revive the phone through MTK Tools, Mobile Upgrade S or adb shell (either device not recognized or it couldn't push files, giving errors).
Today i got a new one, and hell i have not made the same mistake again.
After i unboxed the phone i immediately went into stock recovery and made a backup!
Secondly, i rooted the phone with RomasterSu and installed Uncle MTK Tools and made a IMEI backup (Just incase).
And lastely, i flashed CWM through Uncle and made a Full Backup of the current rom.
For anyone who happens to play with a rooted C7 on stock rom and accidentally bricked it, i will provide my Stock and CWM Backup Recovery's for anyone to use.
note: If you already flashed a custom recovery onto your device (e.g; CWM), the stock backup becomes obsolete! Use CWM instead.

If you're familiar with flashing, i'd guess installing these files and how to use them propertly are self explainatory.
If not, you can ask me how to write a proper guide...
==============================================================================================================
--UPDATE--
I provided a stock rom and a MiUI V5 rom for people who don't want or prefer to use backup's. A custom Recovery is needed and will not work with stock recovery.
This is a vanila stock rom without the custpack games/apps bloatware. IIRC this rom is already rooted, but if not, you can always use iROOT.
Bare in mind that it's based on the first TCT Firmware build 01001 and not the latest Firmware Upgrade 01003.
The MiUI V5 rom is based on miui 4.8.29 (Jellybean 4.2).
Also, the installers are in Spanish and you can only select a handfull system languages for both roms, but atleast you can use these roms in English.
Both roms work absolutely fine, and faster than stock with custpack bloatware.

Nice ROM,but it kills the battery.

Most roms need some time to settle, after 1 or 2 complete charges your battery should behave normally.
You can also use the 'Greenify' (Permit SU access) to blacklist any app that uses wakelocks or running backround processes.
This will save you some battery...
My best bet is going for the MiUiv5, which always ran fine when i used to own the C7. Never had any issues with that ROM other than a occasional 'SystemUi stopped working' when trying to use the Rom's OTA.
I installed CWM 5.5.0.4 but cannot see internal storage
Do you have any idea?

A bit late but that's because I don't own the C7 anymore and hardly pay attention to these threads anymore, I'm sorry...
I have no idea why it would'nt show up in CWM. I always use TWRP on any device that has it's compatibility over CWM, mainly because of it's touch functions and ext partitioning functions. Normally your internal storage is sdcard0 and your SD is sdcard1, select "mount/unmount" to see whether it's listed or not (I guess you already did that obviously but still....) It should be listed, if not, reflash CWM (try latest available for the tct/alcatel, i don't know which build number out top of my head, or TWRP.
I suggest to switch to TWRP and most likely your problem will be solved.
I don't know where you got your recovery files, but the ones I got in my googledrive are guaranteed working since I tried them both before uploading, if you used my CWM try to reflash it with MobileUncle MTK Tools, but than again pick TWRP instead .

Bump Update
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app
I tried to use both the CWM and TWRP recoveries and neither worked. When it tries to boot into them it just glitches out the boot screen and resets. I flashed them with Flashify if that's a problem. My tablets model is a P310A. So this is the right thread for it right?
It does the same thing when I flash with Uncle MTK Tools.
Update: So it seems that you need to use this recovery if you have a P310A. Sorry for the pointless bump.

@dragonivell
No! 7041x only. If it would, i would've stated it at the "device compatibility list" (which doesn't exist in this topic, for that reason!)
@pricklain
I'm sorry, somehow the file got removed from my gdrive. Since I don't own this particular device anymore, i cannot re-upload the file in question.
Also, i'm unable to edit the OP for some reason, so i understand any complains about the backup file(s).

Because this thread was the first one I completly read and looked at many time again, I post my results in short here.
Its posible to "flash" or "download" the KitKat rom from Hungary (or whereever the rom came from) onto a stock Alcatel OT POP C7 (7041X). Note the X, I have only that phone so, find another thread or user if you dont have a x (the kitkat rom is from/for a 7041D, so maybe your in luck too if you have the D version)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/alcatel-pop-c7/help/alcatel-one-touch-pop-c7-kitkat-twrp-t3438624 this other thread has the working rom, tools, and scatter file.
I could write a tutorial, but i based my carefull work on that thread and the links he provided. I also watched the youtube video even tho I dont understand a word thats being said.
Basicly NEVER EVER overwrite or format the phone completly or do sh1t with the preloader. mobile_info we leave alone aswell and we dont like to touch NVRAM aswell. They kinda contain imortant stuff
Basicly i made backups of everything I could or wanted (some thread said "Readback" the preloader can break alcatel phones, Ive succesfully read my whole phone back, but NEVER tried "downloading" or flashing preloader, cause i dont want a brick.) so I have everything saved and i could compare my files against any other rom that ppl uploaded.
KitKat rom from that thread I linked you to, get it, just all of it just in case. then if you compare them using CRC/SHA1 or MD5 against your dumps. hopefully like me, MBR, EBR1 and EBR2 are all the same compared to the kitkat one. so i took the liberty of not flashing them.
left us to do the: UBOOT(lk.bin in my backups), BOOTIMG, RECOVERY, SEC_RO, LOGO, CUSTPACK, ANDROID.
I noticed diferences in the logo, recovery and sec_ro, so I followed the tutorial/video on "downloading" those onto my phone... real simple...
I now have KitKat on my 7041x
Phone calls itself a 7041D now and Gyroscope sensor is not working
simple fix for the phone name is in the build.prop file, either google how to edit that (using root, or adb tricks) or do as I tricked, changed the file inside custpack.img using an hexeditor (HxD is my favorite). When you find a 7041D, replace with X. I suggest you use your brain and computer skills to deduce how to "replace" a character instead of inserting seems to start at offset 0x03356000 (http://www-ccpp.tcl-ta.com/files/ALCATEL_ONE_TOUCH_7041X_KK.xml does excist, so it suggest an official rom either was made or support added anyway).
I replaced budhapest with amsterdam and could change the dualsim to false and compensating the file size change by removing some 0x00 after the file.. but felt it was too risky and only tried the D into X wich was succesfull. ill check if I can find the AcceleroMeter/Gyro? module or fix.
If anyone has a question, sure ask me. but the rom is there, make backups before ANYTHING, and never full format or touch the preloader. ive read it might be able to fix using some Jtag method, but I cant remember the thread and this is quite the old phone by now. if ever, ill try a newer rom, but probably have to make it myself. another kitkat rom Ive found wasnt clean but this one was like it was a OTA, the phone migrated the 58 apps, and all my settings where still there, whatsapp worked right away without trouble and I can now play Pokemon GO (the x version has the 1gig ram )
Bedank @JMailuhu for making this thread and pointing and warning people. within 1 week of fixing this free phone Ive updated to kitkat. Now ill try fixing the accelerometer problem and maybe try other roms (ow well, kitkat does work fine) no root or custom recovery sofar
TLDR: Have a cookie, sorry I talk too much. much better than "ROM NOW" comments
I Got a Flashable Zip From LeTV Forums & I think Its Ported From LETV Chinese Firmware ,
Installed & tested , its Working Good , You Need Rooted Phone Or TWRP To Install The Same ,
After Getting This Settings , Screen is More Nice to the Eyes ,
Activated Colour Mode
1. LeEco
2.Vivid
3.Natural
4.Soft
Soft is More or Like Night Mode ,
Zip Is From : drive.google.com/file/d/0ByEOR9M5bXAtX1NRZ0dTbUN4Y3M/view
I Dont Know Who Is The Maker , But As Per Letv Forums Big Thanks to " CheduSietesiete "

Thank you, I'll try it.
Yes it works, waiting for the fix of the Gyroscope (X).
Thanks again.
Is it possible to get the phone rooted without TWRP?
Edit: I asked this question because whenever i install twrp my fone gets the recovery brick. But here's how i used this thing to fix the colour method.
First I installed twrp and installed this zip. Since my phone was stuck in recovery loop so I installed the stock recovery which fixed the recovery loop and went to settings to see if it worked. and It worked. I kinda hated the screen for the colours. i can finally enjoy the phone at its Most

I Dont Know Why you are facing Recovery loops Also assuming that you are not tried this recovery
I am Using This Recovery & Working Cool
I Will Give you Quick Guide To TWRP Installation ,
Use Link androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=65930
Download Tools 2.7 , Which Is basically For Cuoco Firmware But Sufficient For Our needs , Extract Files & Put It in a folder , and run batch Files ,
As per Your Prevision Post , Assuming that You Unlocked Boot Loader , if not Unlock Boot loader First , You can see Batch Files for Everything , Lastly Run Flashrecovery.exe , Which Will flash Custom Recovery to your Phone
Then report back to me ,

basically i got stuck cause i cnt boot into the recovery without quick boot , after i restored a old backup , but i forgot it had a fingerprint with a pattern so i did the google FRP to wipe it , it gave me access to the recovery witch i have RC8 twrp but formatting and reinstalling does nothing it just keeps allowing it to do everything but when i try to boot to the normal system it keeps putting me back into recovery ?!?
plzz if anyone know of anything i can do let me know the phone was already rooted and oem unlocked but atm im still just trying to get it back to normal =/
Try this.. Turn off the phone and press and hold volume down and power until you see the Lg logo. Release only the power button for 1 sec and then repress. Once you see the white factory reset screen you can release the buttons. Scroll to yes and then again on the next screen. This will boot to twrp. You need to enter recovery this way and no other way. Once in twrp restore your backup. After finished do.not boot yet. Go to mount and make sure system is mounted then go to the twrp file manager and go to data/system/users/0/fpdata and delete the db file. Then back out to data/system/users/0 and deletes settings_fingerprints.xml and then back out to data/system/users and delete the three files that say locksettings.db. This will remove your Lock screen pin/pattern and allow you to setup new fingerprints. Now try to boot into system.
the thing is when i did the format though googles crap , it delete all my files on the system and my sd card so there went my backup D= , do u have a plan backup or anything else i can do atm i am pretty screwed , if u or anyoone else helps me fix this i dont care about giving 10$ , im quite sad about this , i already can install roms but since it wont get past the boot and goes into recovery its not letting it install anyfile , i can get into the terminal of twrp and the file manager within it but i cant find anything like that , i dunno if its in a different spot or anything
i tryed what u said and nothing happends , i did what u said and it keep going into the recovery , i cant seem to get it to boot to that menu
even a bacup of the system boot may help im worryed i may just have briked my phone but i can get into the twrp recover menu and nothing else besides the fastboot witch its unlocked
im keep trying many things , i dunno if anyone has a backup of the tmobile stock recovery boot or any of those backups made when doing the rooting process , i did have them but stupid thing formatted n i lost everything =/
or if somone can backup there system image boot file and the recovery maybe flashing that may help
if anyone thinks they can help me add me on skype mirajane.takami its a old gaming name i used to use , but im taking my surface tablet to work n gonna keep reshearching ways to fix this cause i have my pc n adb aswell all other tools =/ ima have a spare i can use to chat
just uploaded a vid to show anyone exactly whats happening . this is right after i did a full wipe as well as a factory default though twrp and installed a stock rom i found on here , it just boots to recovery without me doing anything and does that whole flash thing? im not mking it go into recovery its doing it by its self --> vid https://youtu.be/kGQYA0SgdjE

Have you tried flashing a Rom in the Development Section? You can also go to jcadduono how to root thread. He has a stock img you can flash using TWRP's "Flash Img" feature.

it really saved my phone
Hi there.
First of all i want to tell im not native english and i am a total noob at rooting ,etc but anyway i did it.
My phone still "works" ( fastboot and TWRP ) but noting else.
phone : Huawei p9Lite Dual sim EU model VLS 31
What did i do ?
Downgraded my phone to andriod 6.0 ( found tut on "XDA )
-Unlocked phone
-Installed TWRP ( also found on XDA )
-installed magisk and the magisk zip file , everything was ok, greenchecked at safetynet. ( tut on reddit )
- installed root folder brower
Then it went wrong, terribly wrong. I wanted to move a file to my system folder but i always had a error moving the file. Digging deeper i noticed its because read/write issues of the folder. I tried to change this but noting happend. I noticed some more options in the bottom of the pop up where u can change the permissions of the map and i checked them. My phone went black and OS did not booted anymore.
I tried to recover my phone but still it does not work.
At TWRP i am unable to mount system and Cust.
I also dont have no more backup, for any reason it got removed from my SD card.
What can i do now to recover my phone?
I like to start from scratch again, with the official software on the phone.
Thanks a lot !
