I recently bought an Alcatel Ot-990 which is Android 2.2.2 Froyo
but unfortunately it has a software problem...
so i want it to update the firmware to the next version of 2.3 Gingerbread or to re install the same version contained it...!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
hello!
i'm interested in this, too!
could someone please post tutorial or at least firmware
i think there is nothing still like this.......... officials said for it in November or december but still no buzzz
Look ,
I've the same problem too but you might solve it easier than me .
just try this link to access the phone officially web page then click download from the top of the page then click upgrade in one touch and download&install it then follow the instructions to done this job with your self .
If any one have ant another solution please help us because this one didn't work with me ( it toke 5 hours in downloading data to get to 48% only ,so I cancelled the process ) so any other solution would be good .
Alcatel's response on the matter
Dear Sir,
Now we have developed software to upgrade one touch 990 from Android 2.2 to android 2.3, but please note that not all one touch 990 can be upgraded; it depends on requirement from service provider. Now there are 2 ways to make it. One is with one touch upgrade; the other is FOTA.
Please upgrade your phone with one touch upgrade which can be downloaded from the following website:http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/support/download/ot-990.html
You can also refer to the following FOTA FAQ to upgrade your phone:
http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/faq/fota.html
Q3How can I use FOTA to make phone upgrade?
If your phone Android OS version isn't updated after the upgrade, then it means your phone doesn't support Android OS upgrade at the moment.
Should you have another request, do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for choosing Alcatel!

Hi guys and gals, I am new here at these forums. Well, not really. I've been reading the HTC Hero section of this forum for the past few months now.
Anyway, I am planning to get a HTC Hero, and am also planning to flash it with modaco's custom ROM. I was wodering, if anything goes horribly wrong with the flashing, is there a way to reflash the stock ROM? Like the iphone - you can have it completely messed up but get it working again through DFU.
Is there such a thing as DFU mode or similar on the HTC Hero?
Thanks.
First post.
Carefully execited and no need to worry! The latest Amon's recovery is fantastic. More importantly your sd partition is inbuilt.
This recovery is a "benchmark". I followed >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543571 but surely other members will also give you helpful advice.
Furthermore also have a look at using iskoot for skype since you are a three user. The thread is within Dream application section.
3 UK users should change their APN to 3UK instead of three.co.uk for avaoiding everlasting wait when browsing Hotmail. It works!
Okay, so if I understand you correctly, you can recover your hero if something goes wrong via fastboot? So for instance, If I break my SD Card and delete system files on the hero, is there a way to enter DFU mode by pressing a combination of buttons?
Thanks for the 3 UK APN Settings. Im gna use the hero with 3 PAYG.
The process of rooting is five mins but unrooting back to what it was could be longer and perhaps boring. Unless there is a warranty issue no need to worry.
Longest process is reading and understanding. Start with latest Android SDS and place the folder anywhere where you can access easily. I hav it under C drive.
Have a look at the wiki at the top of Saphire forum which is a bank of information.
PS: 3 payg sim will work to use free skype (iSkoot) even without any top up!

I want to upgrade firmware and bring to latest stable one.
Can someone please guide me the best option available.
Thanks in advance, will appreciate guidance in this
You haven't given any information as to what the problem is, so it is doubtful anyone can help you.
That being said, there are *many* threads giving step by step guides, so search and read first!

What do you mean by "bombed"? I guess you mean the upgrade didn't work somehow, but give us a clue so we can help.
Hi Yes Bombed means it didnt allow me to upgrade

How do you expect people to help you out when you dont give any more information.
I'm no expert by any means, but I could point you in the right direction if I know what the problem is
-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
this will turn it back to original Hero, and you can upgrade it later with any original HTC ROM. you will not have to wait for T-mobile to customize their own, branded ROM
edit: but for now you are still on 1.5 Android. you could use some kind of search (google?), we are all waiting for v2.1
I got hold of my hero just 5 days before i posted this message. And then down with viral thanks for pointing out the thread. "Dac0908" But are you saying after "GoldCard" i will still be at firmware 1.5 or will more to 2.0 ?
for "bryanchapman9999" no offense but i gave all firmware and system information i could get and provided usual update not working with updating software name. So not sure what other information is required i am on T mobile 1.5 version itself is hint that customized software not allowing updates.

You need to describe *exactly* what occurs when you try to apply the RUU including all messages/dialogs that are displayed.
Posting all your version numbers and then saying that the update is "not working" or "bombed" is about as useful as a chocolate teapot because it tells us precisely *nothing* about the issue that you may be having.

Dave

It is failing the CID check - you will need to create a gold card in order to bypass the CID check before you can proceed, or find another 2.73 ROM that had the appropriate CID (probably something like 2.73.111.6)

Hi ,
Will This porcess update my firmware to 2.0 ? and how stable is 2.1 if it is available i can see in few threads ?
Just want to make sure before i take leap of faith
The process will allow you to flash any of the available ROMs, but be advised that none of the 2.x ROMs are based on an official release and most have some issues that may mean it isn't really suitable for day to day use (YMMV!).

Dave

MoDaCo ROMs are the best IMHO, for speed and stability.

hey iv just created a newbiee guide for gaining root access and the gold card method etc,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662964
Hi guys
Sorry but i am a noob to all this so have proberly stupid questions.
After flashing to a customer rom i went back to a stock t-mobile rom. Problem i now face is when i try to download apps from other companies that are not on the app store eg mfortune they are unable to detect the type of phone i am using so i get "sorry we do not currently support your device" despite being able to do so before rooting and flashing. Is there a way i can change this with the release of skyGo on android this month i want to be able to download it. As it will be only on the galaxy s2 and HTC phones for some time i dont really want to wait.
Any help please???
Did you do a full whipe? Adding some details like model number, the rom you flashed and the one you came from may get you some more useful results.
As for the skyGo app, it won't take more than a day for it to pop up as an APK somewhere on the net.
Hello
Thanks for the reply i am currently in work so i cant look at my phone but will update on which firmware and kernal version i am running
I did however follow this guide to root reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/[/url]
Not sure if that helps i did not however use the guide to flash the secure kernal maybe thats where i have gone wrong.
I will update the thread with the info later.
Thanks again
Hello all,
In advance i just want to say sorry if im missing a thred that can already help me and if i am a link would be great,
I am in the uk, this is the current spec of my phone...
Android version
2.2.2
Kernal version
2.6.32.9
software version
V10d-APR-27-2011
If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it
OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?
I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak
If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.
If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!
Again i'm sorry if i am completely missing the obvious, i'm just a n00b in the process of learning.
Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months
Thanks
Sorry!
I meant that i want to update to 2.3 gingerbread, or if anyone no's of any better ROM's that would be great, i generally use my phone for games, apps, music and browsing the internet so i just assumed that the official 2.3 ROM would be a better option but i am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me Kudo's
Download rom manager from market and flash clock wok rocovery and use a rom from ther they are mostly based on 2.3 or if you looking for something more advanced with tweeks download a rom from here make shur you have the right baseband 1st

ahhh thank you i searched for a similar thread but i guess it didnt show up cuz it says asian in the title instead of china
not trying to bump that other thread but the only thing that really tells me is that I'm probably SOL.
so my NEW question is. any possible way I could go about implementing the modem driver from the GT-i9308 into the GT-i9300 rom so I get the google play and full english capabilities without the bloatware in addition to the phone still working?
I'll take that as a no then?

You can root your phone just do not change the modem otherwise your phone will not work. There are several chinese forums (use chrome to translate) that have very easy instructions for rooting which will allow google play to be installed.
Same boat
I am in China and found myself in the same boat..... i hosed my system after mucking about with it ... first android phone ... i am presently putting together all the links and things i did to get mine de china mobilized and google working .. rooted and a custom ROM or two that work... i have a newer hardware version then most people ... most have hardware version 5.0 ... i have 6.0 .... first attempt at rooting was fine... after that i added a rom... backed up and used the same modem firmware .... phone would not get past the start up screen... but thank god i could still put into recovery mode and get back to the firmware screen.. so i knew it could be saved... so i went through the Chinese forums ... no one had the latest hardware version ... but a release of the "official samsung rom" was the reason my phone was the way it was .... so i found another "Official" rom .... as it turned out it put my phone back into a working order ... the other thing is i am using OSX .... i had to muck about with different version of various pieces of software to get it all done... like i said i am throwing together all the links and everything i did to get mine going ... many of these links will require some authentication to Chinese sites .. weibo qq etc ...
I will try to re share the software i have downloaded ..but i am not maintaining them so not sure how good an idea this is...but the links will help the other "whites" as the chinese describe us foreigners in their forums "so easy a white can do it" after translation....
I just wanted to thank those on XDA with their posts ..... they did help, with information that got me going in the right direction.... this is my first Android since a Telus Fascinate .. which i gave to one of my programers/friends on my architecture team to root... other then that a iphone user ... hard to really brick one of these phones if you do the common sense back ups and such...
Once again thank you... i will have a full break down of my adventure in a day or two.... back to my work.
Cheers
some instructions feel free to contact me i will try and help
I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...
I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00
I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.
everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...
Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.
i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.
I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4
i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....
My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.
S2 GT-I9308 Unlock
Hello
Someone gave me an I9308
I'm trying to use it with my French Sim Card. So i need to be able to unlock it.
I've been able to root and install custom firmware as described above.
I've tried to use GalaxySim Unlock application, but it says "Device not recognized"
I've tried to use the "trick" to unlock, but , the current firmware official version on the I9308 is 4.0.4, and with this version, "Network Unlock" is not working.
In order to try the trich with proper version :
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version for I9300, but it fails with modem
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version with modem.img from 4.0.4, it works but the phone is no more booting, it locks at "samsung" logo and vibrate one time pause one seconds, vibrates three times pause one seconds and again.
So two questions :
How to install a newer versions of android when no offcial version have yet been released ?
How to unlock the I9308 with 4.0.4 in it ?
Thanks.
It is the modem drivers that are the problem. China Mobile has not released a official upgrade yet. But I left instructions for rooting in my previous post.

old post late reply, i know but nvm that, anyway if anyone is still interested in this, here i have the right solution. recently i have been collecting some old Samsung phones, i managed to get hold of a Chinese 9308, as u know, all i9300 roms/twrp work on 9308, but can't detect SIM card/mobile network, however i found one version of the MIUI6 roms, so far so good, everything appear to work perfectly, has all languages, Google play services & framework most importantly, 3G works fine too. i will shortly provide links to the downloads.
Would you like please send the link for this MIUI ?

the problem is, i still have to upload them somewhere 1st, as one of the original links is no longer working and although the other one still is (there were two of them), but it was on baidu cloud, both, u need a baidu account to be able to dl stuff, i clearly remember i couldnt download them myself, and i wasnt able to create a baidu account either, but luckily i found someone who could & did download them for me and sent those files to me afterwards, so now we have to work out a way 4 me 2 send those files from my PC to other users out there.
