Hi Guys!
Just wanna know if there is/are any of you here happened to have a full backup rom of the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH POP C7 (7040E).
512MB memory
4GB internal
8MP back cam
vga front
QUAD Core 1.3GHz
I've been googling around and couldn't find any stock rom for that device.
I also contacted alcatel if they have any stock rom for that device but nothing.
The device is an MT6582.
I tried flashing custom rom out there with mt6582 but not working.
Thanks and looking forward guys
Issue Solved!
Guys!
I have solved the issue about my phone and made a full backup of it using MTK and I'll be providing link here once it's totally done uploading.
This is for the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH POP C7 (7040E) phone - so not sure if this will work with other POP C7's of alcatel.
And also, I'm going to update this page from time to time of what other custom roms available for this kind of phone since this phone has little to no support at the moment.
Cheers

I'm planning to make a backup on my ROM using MTK Droid Tools by just following this Guide -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
But the bootloader of my phone is not yet unlocked. Do you have any idea how ? I'm using the same device as you (POP C7 7040E).

If your device is a 7040T (Qualcom) then it is a very different beast from a 7040E (MTK) ... the tool the OP is using is NOT meant for this device. In fact the SOC used in 7040T is a MSM8212 and its bootloader is locked (you cannot get to bootloader mode - only default recovery is allowed if at all) so unless someone finds a vulnerability to bypass the bootloader, we're out of luck.
I have done extensive research on this and thus far there are NO solutions, even to root the 7040T.

Dude , if you want the stock ROM for your Alcatel, just go to Alcatel's own website and download their firmware update software called ALCATEL MOBILE UPGRADE S. I have version 4.3.1 on my laptop. You can update any Alactel phone with its latest STOCK ROM.
You can find the download link here on Alcatel's site: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download/one_touch_pixi.html
So you don't really need to backup your system partition, only your data partition! If you soft-brick your Alcatel phone (which I have done before), you can recover with Alcatel's firmware upgrade tool.

See my response regarding Alcatel Mobile Upgrade S. You can unbrick your Alcatel phone with this tool that comes from Alcatel.
Hello i did eventually find a stock ROM for the POP C7 but here's the thing. the USB Debugging is disabled, i only have the stock recovery loading up when i try to press power and volume up, i tried wiping the cache, clearing the data, since i have no access to the usb, i tried flashing a rom via sd, but it still says installation incomplete or i migh t be wrong of the exact term but the install does not go thru. THis is just driving my nuts, all because the phone fell down and started bootlooping.
Need Help with the Alcatel OT 7040E
Hi
i am New to this site as well as new to flashing or even having issues of this nature
so let me explain the issue
i was given this phone as a dead phone due to being dropped turned out to be a loose battery connection but now the phone is alive
here is the score after finally getting the phone to charge the phone fired up it goes as far as stating ( Alcatel onetouch Pop C7 ) on the display then shuts down it then on its own restarts shows the same alcatel logo and shuts down this is a constant loop over and over again
i have found how to get into the android system recovery mode when in this mode it will stay on without any restart and i can freely choose options without any issue
what i have done so far is reset to factory sadly this has not resolved the issue of the constant on and off at startup logo
in recovery mode i see options for restore from ADB , Restore from ADB SD card and restore from ADB cache
also format cache and restore from cache and the last in the list is enable ADB
as i am new to this i would like some instructions or some advice to may point to why the phone is going to Logo and then switching off and on repeatedly if it needs to be flashed could someone help me with the download of a stock rom and instructions to do the flash
to flash the phone i think it needs to be done from the recovery mode because when connecting to my laptop the laptop sees the phone and constantly disconnecting and reconnecting same as the Logo appearing on the phone
for those who can advise or help i thank you in advance
have a nice day all

Hi Lee,
The easiest way to reflash a working system onto your phone is to download the Mobile Upgrade S official software from Alcatel. Their website is www.alcatelonetouch.com. Just search for your phone model. When you find it, select the Support tab and you'll see the download link for Mobile Upgrade S 4.2 there. (Or you can Google search directly for Mobile Upgrade S).
Download, unzip and run the software. Follow the on-screen instructions. It's as simple as that.
Let us know how it goes.

Have you resolved this? If not, boot into recovery mode then do a wipe/factory reset. After the reset, choose to reboot the system now. It would take a while (a couple minutes) to boot up. Does that do the trick.
If your screen still looks scrambled and hangs up, it is possible that your display screen (and in some cases, the touch digitizer) is damaged and needs to be replaced.
These Alcatels are really easy to unbrick.

Hey Guys,
I need help... I have an old HTC HD2 china clone with stock android. I'd like to play around with it and try some other roms and stuff (Not using it anymore, so risk free). Problem is... It has android as stock, no model number, no magldr, no download mode, no cwm (and I have yet to find a way to get it on there), every thing I find on the web is based on the wm version with magldr and not my terrible excuse for a phone.
So with very few options I haven't a clue how to go about this. I'd like to be able to flash some new roms and try some messing around with this old thing. ANY kind of help in regards to this problem is very welcome. And thank you all in advance.
If any additional information is required, just ask and I will deliver.

Hi Venicci,
I received one of these from a dodgy seller and subsequently acquired the geniune article. You might have realised that these only resemble the real hd2 in appearance. They are in no other way the same. Mine fake one is powered by a mediatek cpu and runs windows mobile 6.5.
Like you said, no great loss if you brick it, but very unlikely any custom rom on xda will work on it. In OZ there are a few geniune hd2 handsets floating around on gumtree, ebay etc which look like they are in good nick. Maybe you should try for one of these as your hack phone, or perhaps a nexus s or galaxy nexus.
I've owned a nexus s and they're a fun phone to play around with.

Friend, say please:
1. You phone ROOTed?
2. Recovery you phone stock or custom?
3. You phone S-ON or S-OFF ?
4. Bootloader you phone LOCKED?
Unroot your phone, flash back to stock recovery, relock it, change CID if possible, reflash stock android rom.

I think it is something to do with mobicore.
New update has some New additional security.
Somewhere in system/app/mcregistry.
But sorry I don't have the solution.
If you guys can find out.
I think there is something wrong with the HTC update file itself. I took my mobile to the local authorized workshop and they tried several times but also without any luck. One of their brilliant staff said it might be the board!!.
That is also what i think. Htc update file itself have an issues or broken that need to be checked and re-compile.
Any update???

Hi,
My Mediatek Micromax Canvas Knight A350 is totally dead. Not responding at all to any buttons. No lights or battery indicator is displayed. But some warmth can be felt on the phone.
When I connect the phone to the pc with a USB cable it is detected as MTK USB Port Comxxxx
But when I use SP flash tools to download the preloader...it does nothing. Please let me know what to do...Thanks and God bless you.

Using SP Flash Tool, flash the preloader.bin first.Use meta mode if not detected,all three buttons together while connecting and keep pressed until flashing starts.
If flashing was successful then your phone should at least be able to vibrate when you press the power button or boot if the correct files are present on your phone; else, flash other necessary files to make the phone boot up and start working normally again.
P.s. writing again and again is painful as I'm lazy-ass.
I'm thinking of making a thread about this but again,I'm lazy-ass.

In the meanwhile i tried flashing a new custom ROM from xdafirmware.com. But the SP flash tools downloads upto 9.86MB and then the download stops...What could be the reason? Also please let me know if Miracle Box is any kind of solution for these kind of problems! Thanks and God bless.

What did you actually do?
What caused bootloop if full v3 rom was actually flashed?
Also,there's no custom roms on xdafrimware.com,it's only stock roms and make sure whatever you flash is for A350 only!
You can find everything on our blog:

Good luck!

Do you even know A350's battery is non-removable?
The only way you can remove it is by disassembling the device but doing that will compromise with your battery life.It should only be used in worst case scenario and everything else fails to work!

First of all, I apologize for my mistake. It was not a custom ROM but a Canvas Knight Stock ROM... The file name is this...Micromax_A350_V2_040614_KitKat_(by_xdafirmware.com). It's a version 2 (unmerged storage). However, earlier I had flashed a version 3 (merged storage) ROM and since it was constantly giving me trouble I tried to reflash version 2 ROM...But unable to do so...it gets stuck at 9.6MB or 0% in the SP Flash tool.
I tried the format+download option too. But in vain. Guess I am doing something wrong! What could it be? Thanks and God bless.
Btw, I have been through your blog in the past and benefited from the same. Thanks

What caused bootloop if full v3 rom was actually flashed?
Also,there's no custom roms on xdafrimware.com,it's only stock roms and make sure whatever you flash is for A350 only!
You can find everything on our blog:
Good luck!
First of all, I apologize for my mistake. It was not a custom ROM but a Canvas Knight Stock ROM... The file name is this...Micromax_A350_V2_040614_KitKat_(by_xdafirmware.com). It's a version 2 (unmerged storage). However, earlier I had flashed a version 3 (merged storage) ROM and since it was constantly giving me trouble I tried to reflash version 2 ROM...But unable to do so...it gets stuck at 9.6MB or 0% in the SP Flash tool.
I tried the format+download option too. But in vain. Guess I am doing something wrong! What could it be? Thanks and God bless.
Btw, I have been through your blog in the past and benefited from the same. Thanks

Version 3 problem...

Version 3 booted well the first time...it went all the way...i was setting it up nicely...and it hung and just stopped. Ever since then I tried to reboot it would not load...the Canvas Knight logo with the sound would come on and then restart or get hung at that point. In short, it would not fully boot anymore except for that once!
So I decided to do away with version 3 and thought version 2 would be fine because that's what was originally on my phone...but now this is the problem...i mean the SPFT gets hung at 0%.
Thanks and God bless you.
On a different note, I would still love to have version 3 if possible since I plan to install a custom ROM...most likely Cyanogenmod....
Latest update...
Latest Update…
I finally managed to successfully flash a Kitakat 4.4.2 vs. 2 (unmerged storage) stock rom…I downloaded the file again from xdafirmware.com and flashed it. There was no problem. The phone has started and its up since the last one hour or so.
Before booting I entered into stock recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition. So far no problem. I have not yet switched on my wifi coz I am worried it might go off again and enter a bootloop.
Battery was 95% when booted...its now 94% since one hour...I have not used the phone at all though...
Now I have a barrage of questions…
1) The IMEI is gone…I know how to get it back. But would appreciate a proper guidance on this…I have tried using Maui Meta 3G ver 6.1 and was successful in restoring my original IMEI numbers. Is there a better way out? Or should I stick to this one? Should I use IMEI&SN Writer?
2) NVRAM WARNING: Err= 0x10 …how do I fix this…I have never tried fixing this before. So no idea whatsoever. I have no backups of the original stock rom. Greatest mistake I ever did.
3) How to restore my original serial number (S/N) of the phone? I have the Original S/N but don’t know how to do it. Also, is S/N being restored a necessary requirement like IMEI numbers since it is linked to the SIM/Network?
4) How to unlock the bootloader? This is the biggest headache. I believe one cannot install custom ROM’s without unlocking the bootloader.
5) What are the best rooting apps? Is SuperSu good enough to root?
6) Which is the best custom recovery for Canvas Knight?
7) Final question, how to go about using this tool Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3
Sorry for the trouble. But I have messed up many times in the last one month with innumerable flashing of the ROM’s and zip files. Now, once bitten twice shy I want to play safe.
So please let me know your thoughts if they are fail proof and time tested. Thanks for all your help. God bless.

Well I hate giving bad news to people but I might know what causing all this.
As you say,the phone booted fine now but you'll likely see random hangs and sudden reboots in using it,to be sure,use it for atleast 2 hrs constantly and then we can proceed further with your questions.
In mean time,check this post:

Well I tried using it for a while...no internet...just going through settings and checking...then I enabled Developers options and connected USB. Tried to check if the phone was listed on ADB etc....but then it went into a bootloop and kept shutting down after periodic bootloops...now its totally down...not responding at all.
Anyway, I think I know how to get it back when everything else fail. Until then stay blessed and don't give up.
God bless.

Hi, Sorry for the sudden disappearance. I really didn't know how to reply to your "HOW"? But I knew there was a CERTAIN possibility of getting the phone back...I call it faith in God. And I have plenty of faith and I believe in the impossible coz I have seen some of the most impossible things happen in my life and around me over the years. So plain hope and faith in God was what I banked on. But I have no logical explanation to give on the phone starting again smoothly. I have been struggling with this phone for the last 45 days. And this is the first time the phone has really stayed put and it got booted in just one go!
Also your signature line was a source of continued inspiration to hit out against all the odds and doubts.
I would now kindly appreciate any help in restoring the phone to full functionality...I mean would love to hear answers for my questions from the previous post.
In the meanwhile, I did a bit of study on the Miracle Box and a tool called ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL_V2.1...
But, I don't want to jump the gun and get going...Will wait for expert advice. Until then God bless us all. Stay blessed. And yes, thanks for all the help. Shalom.

Hi Ak,
Thanks for your reply. My device is up and about since the last hmmm...to be exact...26 hours. I didn't have any reboots or bootloops or anything for that matter.
However, I need to set it up complete...customization I mean...and these are some of the problems I am facing... Quoting a part of the previous post to save typing...

In short, a bit too confused with too much knowledge on hand. Looking for wisdom to apply this knowledge correctly. There could be many simpler ways too!!! Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Okay don't panic!
Clearly your device is fine by hardware stuff so let's fix some myths and problem of yours.
Firstly,this is mt6592 so you don't have to unlock any boot loader stuff.You can just root your device using kingroot or kingoroot(google it).
For more please read out this whole section,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.com/2015/10/rooting-canvas-knight.html?m=1
Now I believe you have root by now. Now all you need to do is get a recovery and as you're on v2 you can find it here,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5W6R0DsDjWTU1o3TEpfWGFsMEE/view
This is philz recovery with OTG support.As you've root just download the IMG file and flash it though flashify,you can find it on Play store.So you've recovery!
Again,these are just suggested methods,you can do all that with other methods too.Also please stop wasting time on stuffs like miracle boxes and etc etc.
Secondly to get your imei back it would be very easy as you've recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-QF5uchBNhbFlfVk1wOEthbms/view
Just flash this file in recovery and everything shld be fine.
Now to fix Nvram error,just extract the folder from this backup zip,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByuIKfMkBBxBaXBZRHJnNHVRMVk/view
And using any root explorer(I prefer es file manager) go to /data root and replace nvram folder with the folder in this zip
Now the best recovery would be philz recovery for v2 but I greatly suggest you to flash v3 for a variety of reasons and custom ROMs.Yes,you need to shift to v3 to get LP or MM and new updated ROMs though you can still flash available ROMs for v2 which you can find here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/all-roms-link-for-v2.html?m=1
Very less isn't it? That's because storage barrier in v2.
You can find various mods here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/mods.html?m=1
You can find correct stock ROMs here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/stock-rom.html?m=1
Flashing the sim fix above will eventually fix SN too.
And yes many custom ROMs are bundled with SuperSU so you should use that.
To convert from kingroot user to super su use this guide,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ca...ck-switch-kingroot-to-supersu-easily-t3426965
And lastly mtkdroidtools is a good tool and you should definitely have it just in case for backing up stuff and tinkering with ADB.
With all that said,you should join our Whatsapp group for more faster help and updates by messaging me on my Whatsapp No. +919468519959
Enjoy!
Edit: writing all this is a pain in ass,at least one thanks is deserved

Hi Ak,
I went through your entire post and more or less got most of the useful and helpful information. I have not gone through all the links and will do so in due course.
I have been on your website and have read quite a bit and was happy to see the dedication and commitment to help people like us.
I am sure the phone like you said is stable and away from hardware issues. I will consider flashing vs. 3 soon. Yes, i agree with you there are more choices for vs. 3. I did peep into the website last week to see the big list of custom ROM's for vs. 3.
Last but not the least, God bless you. Shalom.

What about joining our whatsapp group?
This is my first post on XDA and i am in desperate need of help. I own a Asus Zenfone 6. Recently i tried unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP recovery so that i can flash a custom ROM. It went horribly wrong and i bricked my device. I managed to unbrick it and revert to Stock ROM which i also upgraded to LOLIPOP using adb sideload. I also managed to root it and have super user access. The problem is that i cannot install a TWRP or any other recovery. When i try to install a custom recovery i get and error " cannot install unsigned image on secure device" which probably suggests that the boot loader is locked. I ran the commands to unlock the boot loader and they ran successfully but i am not sure if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
I tried running fastboot oem devices but i get an error " Unknown Oem command".
It was after hours of troubleshooting that i decided that i am OK with stock LOLIPOP rom as long as i have a rooted device. It was after sometime that i noticed that the camera wasn't working. Also the flashlight wasn't working. I uninstalled the updates and flashlight was working. However the camera just gives me a black screen for some time after which it quits with an error message " Camera is used by another application. Please reboot your device and try again". I uninstalled the updates for Camera and reverted to a previous version by also removing the camera application using super user access. However for an older version i get an error " Camera not found". I have also tried installing other camera applications but none seem to work even after making them a part of system. Currently flashlight works but only under an older version , as soon as i update it stops working. I decided to lock the boot loader again as it was just not worth it. However after running the commands and locking the bootloader i still cannot get the camera to work. I tried in safe mode and the camera won't work there either.
When i go to recovery i just have four options, there is no install from internal storage or SD card which suggests i am on stock recovery.
Currently i just want my camera to work. I am OK with the stock ROM and recovery as long as i have a rooted device. I have spent hours researching and nothing seems to work. I am in desperate need of help. Some of the friends suggested to try my luck here. I would be indebted as i dont want to purchase another device just because i screwed my camera. Also when i was under kitkat i ran the SIMI test and was getting an error 1667 and 1668 for both cameras. The test is failing under LOLIPOP as well. I dont think its a hardware issue or maybe i am wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Not even a single reply. DISAPPOINTED!
You need to Lock Bootloader then reflash the rom (wipe all) to fix it. Custom ROMs sometimes cause camera not working cuz there are some devices that have different camera.... Next time, just make sure you Lock Bootloader => Flash Stock recovery => Wipe => Flash Stock ROM

But yeah that sounds like a roller coaster.
Just picked up the Zenfone 6 to see what I could do with it, I'm going to try to flash the RR rom on here.
Just something I noticed though, I did some research myself, and a couple of sites like this one (https://zenfones.gajetzki.com/) say that you should root your original stock before doing anything. Now this wasn't a requirement at all in my experience for all other phones so I'm a bit skeptical. Anyway I thought that may help in some way.
Good luck!

Sorry for the late reply, but I'll try to help as much as I can. First things first, I know there are two different models of the Zenfone 6, the A600CG and the A601CG, but apparently this shouldn't make a difference, but it could have in this case, after all they must have different names for a reason. Also, the support for the Zenfone 6 is pretty terrible in terms of custom roms and the such, so you may even be better off with the stock experience, just root it and you'll have all the functionality you could ever dream of.
If you're still keen for the custom roms and stuff maybe check out this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-asus-zenfone-5-t3136263
Other than that, I guess Google is your friend, but so are we!
I haven't been able to hold onto my Zenfone 6, as it was a friends, so I no longer have it and never got the opportunity to have some fun with it, so I'm just going off my own experience with my HTC One M9, which is probably vastly different, but I suppose the process isn't too different. Nonetheless, I hope all goes well!
