Why won't this feature work on my phone, I have put the update.pkg on the root of my sd card, but when I select the option in the menu the screen just goes blank and does nothing?
I'm sure to go in to factory reset or update via sd card u hold volume rocker and the power button .
Sometimes it dosent find the update file on the sd card u have to try a few times or leave the phone to rest for a while before u try and update again.
finding update on sd card
Yes, when you are going to boot you press and hold both volume buttons and press the power button also
Continue pressing until your menu comes and it should automatically have the option highlighted to update.
You then press the camera button to choose what is highlighted. What should come up is a menu of what is on your SD card and there you should see your "update.pkg" file. You use your volume keys to scroll up and down the menu.
Once you have highlighted the correct file, you once again press the camera button and the process should begin.
Im pretty sure this is the right procedure, I haven't done it in a while because I have StreakMod installed, which is just a different recovery image, but the manipulation of the recovery process is the same.
Please correct me people if I'm wrong...
You're essentially correct. However, there is no file list that pops up when you hit the update option. What does pop up is a mention that you're going to flash the update, and to hold the volume up button down to shut the Streak off if you don't want to.
Cheers guys figured it out, seemed to work fine after I flashed the recovery image in flashmode.

Hey guys. I tried to flash my Raphael with an english rom to the reconstructed german rom. It transefered the Data restarted and now it's stuck in the Bootscreen.
Can anyone help me? :'(
just reflash via a SD card
and it should be ok
Thanks for ur reply. But antoher short question. Do u have an idea how to get into the tri coulour screen?
And in the instructions to flash from sd cards stand tat i got to wait till i can configure the screen, but that doesn't happen. shall i just restart?
hold down the vol down button and keep it pressed down
then use the stylus to press and let go of the soft reset button
let it boot to the tri colour screen and then let go of the vol down
and how to flash via sd
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 using a PC (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do).
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Raphael Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer.
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RAPHIMG.nbh file to the root of your microSD Card.
5. Plug the microSD Card into the phone.
6. Press and hold the volume down button, then press the reset button with the stylus. Release the volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to start flashing.
8. Once phone finishes flashing and gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER (center) Buttons, press the RESET button with the stylus tip, then release the RESET button but continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until the reset screen appears)
9. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom.
there is nothing in the wiki or anywhere that explains how to hard reset (unles i just missed it somewhere)
Not sure if they apply to the CDMA but here are the ones from the Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners
I use a variation of those on my GSM RAPH, try #1 to see if it works for your CDMA RAPH:
1) Hard Reset
- Turn off
- Press & hold Action
- Press & hold Volume Down
- Turn on
- Wait for TriColor Bootloader and release buttons
- Follow onscreen instructions
2) Bootloader for Flashing new NBH
- Turn off
- Press & hold Volume Down
- Turn on
- Wait for TriColor Bootloader and release button
- Start ROM Flash utility on PC. If flashing a RAPHIMG.NBH on SDCard, flash begins automatically.
HTH,
For my sprint tp, I've found the easiest way is with the device turned off, I press the vol. down then the center of dpad while holding both then press the on/off button holding all three untill the onscreen instructions appear.
this thing will NOT hard reset, its about to go HARD against the wall LOL
I get a window that says
"warning"
power will be turned off,
and you may lose data if
you have not saved them.
Do you want to continue?
if i hit yes it just rebbots, and obviously if i hit no it does nothing
just cleared storage and will try after to hard reset.
NOPE still not working, im holding the vol down and the enter key then pressing the power button on top and holding all three down and i still get the same message.
even tried it with vol down/dpad/power and noada zip zilch zero

Do you happen to have a Verizon Touch Pro, if so the only way to Hard Reset is to do Clear Storage under Settings, System.
So I tried rooting my alcatel t10 using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and after choosing normal, and the alcatel turned off, automatically turned back on, showed the logo now it's just a blank screen that's on, any help please?
Hi,
Can you enter stock recovery or bootloader ?
If you can,
did you try to clean cache or factory data/reset ?

I'm very new with the Alcatel t10, can you tell me how to do any of those?

I don't own alcatel, but usually you enter boot menu by holding power on + volume down button while phone is booting.
You should see android with yellow triangle (it may differ).
From there menu should pop up when you press both volume up and down.
Use volume up/down to navigate trough menu and power button/camera button to select.
Select clear cache first and then try to reboot.
EDIT :
I found this :
Alcatel One Touch T10 must be OFF
REMOVE SD CARD
2 STEPS
1. PRESS POWER ON & VOLUME DOWN simultaneously
(WAIT UNTIL THE ANDROID CHARACTER SHOWS UP(WITH DAMAGE BELLY).
2. PRESS VOLUME DOWN ALONE 5 TO 10 TIMES OR UNTIL THE OPTION SHOWS UP.
(USE VOLUME -/+ FOR SELECTION AND POWER ON/OFF OKAY/ENTER)
Btw removing SD card isn't necessary but sometimes it can format sd card too so it is just to be on safe side if you have a lot of data on SD CARD.

Okay, after holding Vol down + Power while booting, you will see the android logo with damaged belly, during this time, press power and vol up at the same time, the menu shall appear.

Hello again,
I am trying to install DSC. Following given step
Tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18656924&postcount=2
1. Charge Streak to 100%
2. Copy DSC_v1.0 to root SD card
3. Get streak into Fastboot, (don't plug usb connector to pc, power on with Camera button pressed. Wait 20 sec, then plug usb connector)
4. Run flash.bat from 'DSC_flashme2' folder via command prompt, and follow all instructions
5. When rebooting, immediately press both Volume buttons to enter the Dell menu
6. With the Volume button navigate to the second option, 'upgrade...', and select by pressing the Camera button
...
...
I am trying to enter DELL menu given in 5th step (by pressing Power button and both Volume buttons at a time), but it isn't working. I have seen it working when I keep DS5 with bettery removed and then turn it back ON using Power and Volume. But now it is not coming up that way.
(All previous steps have worked, so can say Power and Camera buttons are working)
Please let me know if we have any alternate method to bring it on DELL menu that goes to StreakMod selection.
Any way to change the button combination of POWER+VOL_UP+VOL_DOWN to something else?
Thanks!

No way to change it, and that is the correct way to do it. Perhaps you aren't doing it right.

I have done it in past. Even I was able to get into FASTBOOT 2 days back. But cant anymore. Phone is perfectly well, no physical damage at all. Even the button seems to be proper, not damaged or over-pressed.

Does it also delete my google account details en facebook contacts etc ?
No.For that you need to factory reset through phone or wipe data with the procedure you just mentioned or flash stock ROM through Odin.
