Hi! Can anyone please help me root Alcatel 916D (FB Spark)? A real nice low budget qwerty dual-sim phone running Android GB. I've tried all rooting tools i can find on the web like: SuperOneClick, Unlocker,Doomlord, z4root etc... but nothing seems to work. Lately, i tried flashing a new boot.img based on what i read from a post using a scatter text file, unfortunately now, my phone is bricked and stuck on a bootloop. I brought it to Alcatel Service Center for the reinstallation of its fresh OS coz OneTouch Software Uprade won't allow me to install it on my own. As soon as my 916D is fixed i'll try again to root it and i hope that someone in our community could provide me with a good tutorial and rooting files particularly usuable with 916D.
Likewise, i would also appreciate if someone could provide me a tutorial and files necessary on Increasing the Internal Storage of Alcatel 916D coz its merely 150MB.. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi,

Alcatel has open source code for OT-916D - so what we need, that somebody with C++, Java knowledge for Root and CWM, I think.
Source Files
The source files for Alcatel OT-916 (and many other models) can be downloaded here: sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
As for rooting, I tried every available method, including MTKdroidTools, but none of them work.
I found a guide to root but i haven't teste yet !

Thanks for the feedback. I am about to try it as soon as I find alcatel OT-916 driver for windows 8.
By the way, how did you enter in DOWNLOAD mode on your Alcatel OT-916? I can't figure out how to do it.

Need Back up from CWM
Hey guys, the guide worked very well. Thanks
Need your help, I'm kinda stuck on bootloop and I haven't made any backup with the cwm.
Can anyone be kind enough to have their back up uploaded so I can restore my phone please?
TIA.

I second this motion If anybody has a whole ROM that can be flashed with SP Flash Tool, please help us les miserables. :angel:
I formatted the phone, now it doesn't even turn on. I wrote Alcatel and asked them for assistance, but still waiting for their reply. I hope they can provide me with the stock ROM. If they don't, I'm afraid I'll have to take it to a repair center.

nice to know that this work! actually i haven't have this phone yet but really wanna have one and root it because of memory issues, however the link given is not understandable because its of different language..yes i can translate the page to english but not the video in there... so im worried that if i tried to, i am at risk of bricking it since i don't fully understand it and i see this rooting procedure is more complicated than JB on ios... it will be my first root if ever...yes im a newbie(noob) to android, so i hope you can help me and if its ok can you make a video if it does not bother you... i'd look forward to this... thank you very much
I have Alcatel OT-916, not OT-916D which is dual sim, and I tried to follow the procedure in the link but when I tried to flash the phone it just didn't want to connect although I was able to read the ram and all the time I was getting error USB not found.
Now the phone is soft-bricked. I'm able to communicate with it but it just won't turn on, like it's hard bricked.
P.S: I think 916 and 916D have different scatter files, that might be the problem. Still I want to hear second opinion.
__________
I forgot to mention something very important. The phone wasn't bricked 'till I tried flashing with option DA Download All checked, which kind of worked, the progress bar went to 100% but I got error BROM ERROR:S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL(5054).

Hi ghuyz.. newbie hir, trying to find all ways to revive by Smartphone... here's what happened:

Now my phone is totally dead! It won't power on anymore. It wont even show "charging" when pluged in. I'm just a poor little guy who can't afford buying a new one anymore. For those geeks who have a benevolent heart out there, Please Help! I hate goint to service centers promising me to wait 4 at least 3 months before they can repair it.

I have the same issue I was trying to install new rom and unfortunately reformat the system drive...if you unroot your phone and ask your manufacturer to repair it or replace it you should have a good acting skills, don't tell them that you were trying to install new ROM because the warranty doesn't include system issues...
GL...
BTW: I wasn't able to find any fix for this issue...I just use my acting skills...LOL

We Actually need someone who does have a working Titanium S1 or Cherry Flame2.
If you find someone who does have it Please ask them to do the following
1) Switch off the Working Mobile
2) Switch it on by pressing the vol+ Key and wait untill it shows the "Entry QPST Download" Screen
3) Connect your mobile to Windows
4) Start Acronis and make a Sector by sector backup
5) Now Switch on your bricked mobile and connect it to windows
6) Start Acronis and do a restore that you made from the working Titanium S1 or Flame2
7) Reboot
This should do the job.However i was unable to find someone with the same mobile.Hope Somebody can help.
If anybody has the Backup.Please post it so that others can also Restore their mobile if bricked.
Thank you
I will!!
I will make one soon As I get the Phone in hands.. I sure will... Just have patients !!
Please Do!
Please Do!!
I Have sent my mobile to the service center and it has been over three weeks and still no result.
I'll take it back and do it myself as soon as an image surfaces out.
And Thanks!!
That'll be of great Help

:crying::crying::crying:
Yeah Same Happened With Me No Flashing Lights While Trying To Charge..
0k gonna go round..
OK ok I saw this.I know how you feel.Once I soft bricked my Samsung Galaxy S2..That's so bad.Here's possible solution.Download original ROM from somewhere idk you find it.Download Odin.Try to insert new software with it.If it doesn't works I am so so sorry.
As I heard before the only solution for hard bricked devices is.
Go to very tall building,go to top and throw your phone from there and cry..
For Soft Bricked you can fix it easy.You need to install new ROM.
Soft Bricked or Bootlooped is when you hear only sounds.Your phone reacts on charging but you don't see anything and you can boot into recovery and turn on and off your device.
Hard Bricked Device- Well nothing works.Solution is to throw it into junk..
I'll look out somewhere if I can find any solution.

Hi to all!
I recently bought this phone, I have to admit to being fully satisfied of the features except for one ... the GPS function.
I have read dozens of guides to adjust the GPS W8+ but not for my model. If I knew how to do the root I could at least try to use the same method.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to do it on this phone?

So I got mine W8 beyond two days ago.
So far so good, but:
1. GPS problem. I am geocacher (more at: geocaching.com) and I need accurate GPS. When I stood still in the open for few minutes, I could see GPS jumping around for 400-900 meters for no reason. AGPS and EPO activated. We will see how it goes
2. I would love to get polish language settings, since there are some apps which fetch the content depending on Your language setting (I know that this is poor design, but this is how they works), so that would be nice. Not an issue anymore. I installed MoreLocale2 and pm'ed it which is more than enough at the moment.
3. I do not see option for sorting the apps in the main apps menu (it was working on my old Lenovo A750) - am I missing something?First 9 icons are fixed and alphabelical, the rest is just alphabetical. I can live with that.
4. I have my contacts stored with country prefix which is not used by my operator. I do not see my contacts data when they are calling me.
The SMSes are provided by operator with country prefix, so the problem is with calls only. I tried to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268120 but I am unable to decompile framework.jar - no classes.dex inside. I am not able to deodex framework.odex either, so I am stuck for the moment.GravityMod2 3.0 ROM fixed that problem.
The link provided with the tools and howto contains W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img,
when I go to phone info at my phone I can see W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626.
Seems like I have newer firmware. If anyone can tell me how to extract this, I would be more than happy to share.
GravityMod2 3.0 installed - not an issue anymore
For my good old Lenovo I was able to modify the ROM as soon as I got my hands on any ROM in zip format. I guess I could also try to compile something (I am a programmer), but since I am extremely low on time I would need MT6589T kernel patch (is it the same like mt6589) and some basic manual.
Anyone interested?

Thanks, but I got A-GPS and EPO already enabled and EPO downloaded.
I till try to go to the engineering menu and locking via YGPS.
As I understood from google translator, I should just wait for lock and then close everything. Since then everything should be running smoothly. Am I right?
What about my other questions? Lack of polish is driving my crazy. My news feeds are all US which is driving me crazy ...

Guys ..... HELP!!!!

I am not sure if it helps (I am quite sure it does not acctually), but which version was running on your phone prior to root attempt? Which part has failed? writting the CWM image or rooting?
Try to connect the phone to the PC via usb and then turning it on. If PC reacts (ADB device as far as I rememeber will be recognized) then there might be chance for You.

Hi guys,
I am having trouble to install the drivers for the THL W8 Beyond that I have. My model is:
W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618
When connecting it to the computer it will install HTC drivers under Android Phone entry in device manager and also W8 Beyond under Portable Device.
I cannot root the phone using the msdos script or SP Flash tool. Also Snapea does not see the device. On the same computer I used a ZOPO C2 Platinum and Snapea found that instantly and I could rooted and also pushed a custom ROM.
Now... wish I could also root this THL to be able to back-up my stock ROM. No need for me to work with a custom, just need to be able to back-up the original ROM just to be safe.
Can you please help me in regards to the communication problem between computer with Win 7 64bit and the THL W8 Beyond phone?
Thank you.

I can help you get rooted. First you will need to install drivers on your PC so your device can communicate with the root program. Then try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43163569&postcount=7
If that dont work, let me know. You can always use MTK Droid Tools and SP flash tool to pull your stock recovery and port it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a simple root.zip
Hope this helps!

Try using this, it installs drivers for many different phones, it may not be the actual manufacturers drivers for your specific device but it will help get your phone talking to your PC:

Also - Make sure you are going into settings and turning USB debugging on. You can usually find this under Settings > Developer Options.

Again, thanks Klown, but no joy, i tried serveral times and after 15 - 20 mins of "fobulating" (is that even a real word ) my phone it said "failed to processs phones data" i tried restarting both devices etc and a couple of other thing suggested but no joy.
Any other ideas, as always thanks in advance.

Go here and download MTK Droid Tools from first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
Run the program and connect your phone to PC, this tool will tell you lots of info about your phone but the main function is to possibly back up your stock firmware (This is good to have if you plan on trying to flash anything to the phone, this way you will have your stock files to fall back on in case something you flash to the phone does not work.) Once you have MTK Droid Tools running and phone connected, what does it say next to Hardware on the phone info tab please?
I am not sure off top of my head about updating to a higher version of Android but this back up step is REALLY important. It is hard if not impossible to find stock firmware floating around on the net for these chinese clone devices. IF you have stock files backed up you can flash almost anything you want knowing you have a way to restore your phone to working order. IF you look around here on XDA you will see tons of posts by people looking for the stock firmware for their clone phone after soft bricking it playing around. Sadly there is not much help for them unless they find someone with the EXACT same phone and are willing to share their back up (if the next person made one theirselves that is!)

Thanks again, while i go to the link and follow the next steps i thought i'd put up the hardware version you asked for
hardware - c913-v1.02
Paul
edit
even though my pc now recognises the fact that tere is a spreadtrum phone in my devices list and i managed to root it ok, when i load up mtk droid tools it says "the device isn't revealed, connect or reconnect a cable"
needless to say i tried reconnecting and it didn't change i downloaded the adb drivers from the link under the mtk link but have no idea what to do with them,
appologies for my ignorance in all of this, but like i said in my first post, i have no idea what i'm doing with all this, thanks
paul
pps the hardware version i posted was from the info on my phone
I am currently in communication with Alcatel's U.S. support (which may be outsourced, who knows?), and they have made it clear there is no OTU (OneTouchUpdate) available for the AT&T Alcatel Allura 5056O device. Their current advice is limited to performing a factory reset via the GUI, which of course isn't possible for a softbricked phone.
This means that as of this writing, there is no known way to restore this device from a softbrick.
I am explaining carefully the issue I and and a number of others here on XDA have experienced with this phone to Support, specifically asking for some method to reload the stock ROM, and will report any constructive suggestions they may have. But the OTU I made available at:
https://www.multcloud.com/share/0377ab37-15ed-4bcd-be3b-dbe8c7eb2cc8
...that lists the 5056 simply will not work on the 5056O.
Received this from the Contact Center:
The firmware is information that would only be available at the repair center. We would recommend you to perform a factory reset...

Click to collapse
Still trying, but it isn't looking very good for those of us with softbricked 5056Os...
Yup I wanted to root the phone, so I did but then it bootlooped and it's bricked lol.
Haven't heard anything else from Alcatel's Customer "Support," so I've resent my questions to see if I can get some answers out of someone. There are enough of us affected by this issue that I'm not going to let them off quite so easily...
More bad news; the most recent reply from Alcatel CS:
At this moment it would be to send in the device into the repair center to get it repaired for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clearly they are going to be less than helpful for those of us with the 5056O. Unless some kind soul here who has this phone is willing to image and post a copy of the Allura ROM, or someone knows a tech working for Alcatel who can supply the ROM, those of us with soft-bricked phones are completely screwed.
Am getting same info from Twitter CS...the ROM is only available inside their repair center.
(*sigh*) So unless someone else manages to liberate this device's ROM, guess we all might as well throw the devices in a drawer and move along. Just remember that the next time you're phone shopping, and bypass the Alcatel/TCL offerings.
Friends here I leave a link for you to download a copy I made to the Alcatel Allura 5056O, I did it through the flashfire application, I think if some advanced developer could work it, it would solve the problem we have. Https://mega.nz/#!01NDVR5K!rPPYEd87ndmg5Q9jmQ3qWjm1qGD3Rm7ge83yIsezSSQ

That is excellent, thank you very much!
Now let me make sure I understand; is this a copy of a softbricked ROM, or a functional one? Is it rooted or non-rooted?

It is a copy of a functional rom, has root access and has modifications that I did before the device would damage me, but I have all my data in it.

So, if we can figure out how the Alcatel OTUs push the ROM to the phone, we might be able to get a softbricked phone to the point of performing a system reset...
Time to start reading up on how...

The problem with my phone is that I made a modification to the build prop and upon restart I just showed the logo and then black screen, connect it to the adb and try to carry a custom recovery of a 6040A alcatel I had before and the result was that too Delete the recovery stock, now the phone when I connect it to adb appears to me as unauthorized, so I have not been able to repair it

Keep trying. I've noticed that my 5056O does the same thing, but if I keep trying (restarting the phone, plugging in-and-out, etc.) I can eventually get adb devices to show it as "device" at which point I can acquire a shell, which can be SU'd.
Not guaranteeing this will work for you, but it has worked for me quite a few times so far. Beginning to think this phone is just magic, not science.
Just a quick bump to remind folks there are a bunch of soft-bricked 5056O phones out here in desperate search for a ROM...
Another bump to see if anyone has additional information on 5056O ROMs...hope springs eternal!
Still nothing, eh?
Hoping for someone with info on how to unbrick an Alcatel OneTouch Allura (5056O) - a stock ROM and means for recovery would be great!
Dear friends, after suffering for more than a year with my damaged phone, find a solution, I hope you can also solve it.
Here is a guide and the link to download the tool.
In the completely off phone will press the volume up and down keys at the same time and connect it to the pc so enter the download mode
1) Download the tool from this link https://mega.nz/#!NpkhnCoT!q5LxwJdWfIjcIY2tl99eGbhvRtrSY8bk-GQcDji7Rhs
2) Then unzip it install it on the pc
3) They execute it and they place the user and the password that he left in the attached note, when the update comes out they tell him not to
4) They look for the model of the team and they give to the option of flash and enjoy the magic
The only bad thing is that in the process the network release is lost

Um, last time I checked, the 5056O didn't have available ROMs outside AT&T. Is this the phone you repaired?
Also, latest version of SUGAR I found is v11.6.9R, which I placed in the MultCloud shared folder at https://www.multcloud.com/share/0377ab37-15ed-4bcd-be3b-dbe8c7eb2cc8 in the Misc folder. Same credentials as listed in the older README:
Region: All

Dongle authorization: unchecked

My fault being unfamiliar with this stuff, but can you explain what was lost?
Oh, and I don't suppose this got you any closer to installing a custom recovery to root the phone?
does anyone have a link to the stock firmware? for an ALcatel onetouch Allura 5056O, I've been browsing the thread and seen none of the links provided for the stock firmware are all dead.
Better late than never: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822061932
I had hat on a HDD from a while back and never had a way to use it until I found edl. I'm currently flashing it now and I have no idea if it's gonna work or not. I don't think it will but who knows.
Also, its probably gonna take a few days or more to flash...
Edit: It failed at some point just a few hours in. Maybe it was just my device because I have disassembled it in the past looking for test points. I wish everyone else good luck.
Hi all
I've managed to brick my Tb3 - not sure how, hadn't used it for a while, turnd it on & it is just stuck on the Lenovo loading screen. Tried booting into recovery but not working.
From what I've read, I need either the stock rom or at least the scatter.txt file to load into SP Flash tool.
I've googled everywhere but can't find either.
Does anyone have a link to, or can you provide 1 or both of the above? Ive tried requesting access to the google drive from Motojunkie01 but not had a response. Looks like his account is disabled.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-lenovo-tab3-8-tb3-850f-t3559786
Please help - really need to get his up & running as it has some data I need on it.
Thanks
Dave

Dave I know this is a super-late reply to this thread, but I just recently found an extremely simple way to unbrick the TB3-850F using the official Lenovo-Moto Smart Assistant (LMSA). If you, or anybody else reading this thread needs guidance on this, I'll be glad to help.
