Hi, i've been trying to install HC on my ZPad 3g but I'm having issues with the home key not working. It works after the first reboot but reboots s after that the clock is launched when I select the home key. I've tried a number of different HC Roms-
Now I've tried reverting back to the stock rom.
I've updated to bootloader 1.2 which I think should have cleared what evil was lurking -
I've also formatted / deleted to the point that i've soft bricked the tablet a number of times. Thank goodness for NVFlash-
Is anyone with a ZPad 3g running HC- I don't care about the 3g function
Thank you
I have a T-mobile G2 Touch(HTC Hero). I've recently started using it again and it seems like it needs a firmware update. Many cool apps like WhatsApp require firmware 2.1 and above.
I was never sent an OTA update and its too late to complain about that. I've seen posts dating back to 2010 talking about upgrading from 1.5 to 2.1 and they are confusing to say the least.
How hard can it be 2 years on?
Why hasn't HTC made firmware updates fool proof by now?
Can someone please assist me in figuring this out.
I can't believe upgrading a phone's firmware can take so much outta someone.
Help!!!!
First try to go to Settings -> About Phone (don't know what it's called, but it is the buttom one) -> If there is anything mentioning Software-update or alike you should go there and search for an update.
If not you should connect to WiFi and try to change the time a month or so forward. Then it should pop up with a update-notification and you can press download. That's at least how it works for me (WWE)
I've tried this, there isn't a software update or any option to search for updates.
It must be in "About" of Settings. Are you sure you've checked out all the options?
Does your carrier have a support page that links the update file? It should be a stand alone exe file that runs and takes care of the update.

On official site:
Checking for phone software updates manually
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > System software updates.
On the System software updates screen, tap Check now.

I think maybe you should wait and try as mljjlm suggested to you, changing the date. You can try to setting date as 07/30/2010 or 07/30/2011 and waith some hours for OTA...
A while back when 2.1 came out, the update never came OTA even when I forced to check for updates, but I fixed that by changing my clock from 2010 I think to 2011 , restarted the phone and I was able to update to 2.1 and after that I changed the clock back to 2010. You can try to set your clock to 2013 and then the update will come
i had the same problem before i rooted. the only way i could trigger the update check was for me to do a factory reset on the phone. or you could just root it!

Can you get into custom recovery and mount usb drive to pc? because if you can then you can flash this: Stock 2.1
Caution! This Will Erase All Data (Not SD Card) AND REMOVES ROOT + CUSTOM RECOVERY
If you choose to flash this then you will need to re-root and re-flash custom recovery to flash a new rom
I have read and read 123 pages in the development section of this new update and i didn't see any mention (or i have forgotten after reading 123 pages) of reboot options from holding power button. All i get is the standard shut down option. AM i missing something? Also, noticed that the Sony Bravia Engine was removed in 1.3.5 but added as an option in 2.0. Should we install this option if it was such and issue in 1.3.5 or has it been resolved?
It's not included in stock based ROMs. There are a few .apk's (quick boot) that will allow you to reboot. But don't use reboot to recovery. The TFP doesn't like this and you risk getting caught in a recovery loop. There are methods to resolve this type of soft brick but it's a PITA.
Ah, i see, thus the option for the quick boot. Perfect! Thanks. What is the opinion of the Sony Bravia Engine?
Hi Friends,
I have started this thread to invite all developers and users to share all good tips and tricks for the device Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D which is such a good phone looking at the specification and Quality of Hardware. A very first thing special thanks to Flipkart for bringing this device to India that too at an affordable prize and also for providing excellent service as they always do
Talking in brief about special highlight of this device, it features a 5.5 inch screen, 1.4 GHz MTK 6592M Octa core processor, 3200mAH battery which lasts for minimum 1.5 days even with heavy use of Wi-Fi for 8 hours Secondly even Alcatel engineers have done awesome work by working so much behind update the stock android and making it so beautiful
Coming to point as I have own personally this device and looking at user reviews few users faced some of the issue one of which even i came across. So if you are one among those users than follow my below tips: -
1. Network Hanging/Stuck Issue: - For users, who came across Network hanging issue which happens specially when you are roaming with this device as i have personally witnessed the sole reason for this is Google Apps update. Their is no reason to blame alcatel for this. MY testing till now has revealed that This is caused specially by Google Play services and Google Apps update that happens automatically if you are on Wi-Fi network.
To get rid of this: - First of all don't update any of your google apps until the bugs in current one are fixed. Go to Play store> Settings and disable Auto upate apps over WiFi so that it won't update automatically. This resolves the issue and you can use other older version of google apps also like gmail, youtube which came preloaded with your phone.
2. Camera giving only 9.4Mega pixel Images: - I see by default the images clicked by this device is of 9.4 Mega pixel only. This happens because of the full screen mode being ON in camera. To resolve this> Open Camera app> click on setting icon> Full screen is highlighted by default just touch it to remove full screen mode. Congrats now your camera will click 13 Mega pixel images
3. Hard resetting your phone: - For users who wish to Hard reset there Alcatel One touch flash device do these things:
a. Power off your phone
b. Press and hold Power + Volume down button together until you see Android recovery screen. (Note: you need to hold these two buttons together until you come to recovery screen might take 20 seconds)
c. Now select "wipe cache"
d. Now select "Factory reset"
e. Now let the device reset your phone it will take some time around 1 minute
f. Now next time you power on it will stay at Alcatel boot image after sometime hold power button again to switch off
g. now hold power button and Congrats now your phone is resetted successfully
I haven't come across any other issue apart from these. Users who come across any other issue share in this forum I will assist in resolving the bugs, if any For those need screen shots to know the procedure let me know i will update screenshots of procedure in my next post.
People who wish to root their device a atip from my side is to wait for sometime until Alcatel officially provides stock image in their android upgrade firmware and only than try rooting as if at this stage if you screw up your device than it would be difficult to get the stock image and restore your phone.
Hi there,
Sorry sir but here isn't the right place for that.

Our XDA Assist team will give you links to threads/forums that are relevant to your problem. You may be pointed towards guides and instructions that can be quite complex, so you will still need to read carefully and be cautious before attempting to make software changes to your device.

I am using Alcatel one touch flash 6042 d it is not receiving 2g networks properly what is the problem suggest me
Hello everybody!
I need assisstance from you all. I have an old mobile phone, Huawei U8110, and it is my only phone that I can use for now (long story short - lack of resources left me with this phone only, and I need to fix it, but I have some issues with the software).
I've updated the phone software from eclaire to cyanogen mod 7, android version 2.3.5., the mod version is CyanogenMod 7.1.0.-2.3.5.-U8110-COCO, build number COCO CM7.
But now it cant start in safe mode (the startup sceen that you can usually activate with button combination, where you can select boot options is always unavailable).
Phone is working somewhat ok (i cant use any radio, and my camera is dead), but the basic functions are running ok.
The thing is that I cant revert to any old system, and I cant update to a new one.
Is there any new system that is worth upgrading to, and is there a solution for the problem of accesing the startup sceen (that was available before, but now it isnt).
Thank you in advance for your answers, and I am sorry if I posted in a bad place in this forum.
My neighbor allowed me to use his Internet connection in order to post whis question, so I didnt had the time to search all the forums (sorry if I am not following the rules about that )
people? anybody? Some help, please?
