Ok.. Hi everybody..
I'm a bit new at this so bare with me....
To root the 985 you basically need this:
- Installed Drivers VERY IMPORTANT!
- Installed ADB shell (To open ADB command prompt go into the install folder of adb -> sdk -> platform tools -> hold SHIFT and right click -> select open command prompt window here) - this was the command line for me - for you it might be different!
- Create ROM backup following these instructions:
- Open ADB command prompt (described above) and enter adb shell cat /proc/mtd
- If all goes well copy the results into notepad and save the file as firmware.info
- After that open MTK 65xx ROM Studio
- Go File -> Load Firmware.info -> select the file you generated earlier
- Notice that the window is now filled with data from your file -> click Create ROM
- Now save that file somewhere easily accessible it's your SCATTER file needed a bit later.
- Open SP Flash Tool (Make sure MT 65x3 USB VCOM drivers are installed )
- Go Options -> USB Mode
- Then press SCATTER-LOADING to the right and select your SCATTER file generated earlier (ignore messages)
- Go into the read-back tab
- Select every checkbox (to make FULL Backup,) or just what you need (Bootimg.img) select where to save Backup!
- When the windows appear make sure that READ PAGE ONLY is selected!
- Press READ BACK (by this point your phone hasn't been connected at all to the PC)
- Now turn off your phone, pull out the battery,hold VOLUME UP, plug the phone in and THEN quickly put the battery back in!!!
- If all goes well you should see one red bar and one or several blue ones (depending on what you selected to backup)
- This can take a while, BOOM Green circle
- BACKUP IS DONE!
- Now on to the rooting stuff:
- In SP Flash Tool (I am expecting that you closed it and opened it again)
- Check to see if USB Mode is enabled (see above)
- Load the SCATTER file again
- Then when you see the files and checkboxes in the window under click on BOOTIMG and SELECT the one
that is attached to this post (!!!!NOTE This is the same BOOTIMG from the serbian video on youtube WE ONLY NEED THE BOOTIMG FROM THIS GUY NOTHING ELSE ESPECIALLY NOT THE SCATTER!!!!)
- Ignore the following messages
- Make sure that your phone is not plugged in, turned off and battery removed
- Press Download, wait 15 sec, plug the phone in THEN insert battery
- Wait for it.. (Nice one)
- A yellow bar will go across and BOOM Green circle
AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE FLASHED YOUR BOOTIMG IF YOU HAVE DONE THIS RIGHT THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS, IF IT'S DONE WRONG YOUR PHONE MIGHT NOT RECOGNIZE THE SIM CARD (IF THIS HAPPENS DO THE LAST STEP AGAIN BUT WITH THE BOOTIMG FROM THE BACKUP)
- Unplug phone, remove battery, insert battery -> BOOT
If it boots, OK, if not flash back with backup (see above written in BIG letters
- Download SuperOneClick and open it
- Plug in your phone TURNED ON!
- Click Root. Reboot. DONE
If anything else pops up you have a problem with the drivers make sure that the drivers are correctly installed (stupid Windows rrrr...)
Now you have rooted you ALCATEL OT-985n/d and can do all kinds of crazy stuff... :cyclops:

and every other member that banged their head at this for days.. screwed up their phone at least twice and had the nerve to cope!
Bye everybody
Need help in restoring Android and custpack
Hi everybody!
I need some help to restore my 985. I succeeded rooting the phone with this great guide but I messed up with /custpack trying to remove some factory apps (facebook, operator apps...) with the result of having an unusable device stuck in the boot process and rebooting before the system is up in an infinite cycle.
I tried to restore my custpack backup made before rooting with no results. After some whole nights spent asleep to find factory ROM or updates
which seems can't be found on the net, I took the fool decision to format the whole ROM trying to make One Touch Updater S search the firmware and restore the phone but it didn't, leaving me with a message like "You already got the latest version for your phone" (kidding?).
I managed to restore some partition backups with SP Flash Tool. Now the phone can turn on, show the battery-charging logo, the android logo and the recovery system. But it won't boot in normal mode: it gets stuck at the Android logo with no further steps. ADB can discover and recognise the stuck device, but won't let me reach a shell ("/system/bin/sh not found" or something similar). SPFT seems to let me download the Android and custpack images but at the end it fires an error about DRAM.
Is there any Alcatel One Touch 985 user that can send me Android and custpack images to restore my phone?
Hallo guys. Thanks for opening this thread.
My OT985 is stuffed with bloatware from an Italian Carrier, that makes it impossible to download updates and new apps (I can't even download G+).
Do you think that flashing an original stock rom will fix my issue? Does anybody out there have a non-branded backup rom I could possibly use?
Thank you for any help and replies.

help me for mt65x3 driver
hi all,
i need help for installing the mt65x3 driver.
My ot 985d has USB\Vid_1bbb&Pid_00f2&Rev_0255&MI_01
USB\Vid_1bbb&Pid_00f2&MI_01
this device is by Mt65x3 Driver Installation not suported.
Sorry for my bad english, im for german
Thanks for our help ! ! !
Hi to all . Is there any user of 985d who can back up and send me the original boot.img of the device?
Hi all,
first I was runing into numerous problems with this guide, so I switched to this one and I managed to do a lot more: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5
But with that other guide, I couldn't go further than step 8, because error "PMT changed for the ROM, it must be downloaded." would pop-up.
The same would happen if I followed the steps after "Now onto the rooting stuff" - the error "PMT changed for the ROM, it must be downloaded." pops-up instead of a "green circle".
Can anyone help resolve this?

Hello at all......
I came from Germany, so sorry for my bad english.......
From a Friend, i get an Lenovo A660 Android Phone, this Phone died during an update he made......
Only shows the lying Android with the sign.
I can boot it with luck, but then the Homescreen is lost, i only can make preferences.
I load the custom rom from cybermouse, get into the recoverymode and get a failure message ''not signed''
Then i can find the original rom, but i get the message about boot failure, sometimes i can install from sd card, but nothing happens.
i sit here on osx.........any ideas for an Apple boy, to solve this problem, and recover that phone ?????
Hi, I don't know if this is still up to date, ... anyway:
Theres a step by step instruction in cybermaus thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874403
"Instructions:
By default, the ROM will not overwrite USERDATA or FAT. If you want a clean slate, first extract empty.userdata.rar and/or empty.fat.rar
- Read bgcngm flash tutorial.
- Read it again
- Start Flash Tool (v3.1222, in my Dev-Host)
- Load scatter file
- Take out USB cable and replace battery
- Press the download button in the flash tool
- Connect the USB cable
- Wait for the flashing to complete"
The most important thing is: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
You have to flash your phone first before you can install a custom rom!
(I don't know how to do it on osx... I've done it on Win with my Lenovo A660 and it worked!)

Mobile upgrade pops up message that there is no new firmware for my tablet. I think its stock fw wasn't from alcatel. It's custom made by Orange telecomunication company ... don't know what to do next .

Thanks for the upload, share and help!
I was talking about polish part of the Orange corporation, not the international one. So this might be the answer why mobile upgrade not updating my tablet firmware . They don't give a f... .
Also still not booting after flashing system and boot images.
Does your firmware have custpack partition? It is partition with stock apk's and other stuff from alcatel. I was deleting packages from this partition also.
I know i'm asking a lot but if your firmware does have this partition, could you also upload it?
Could you also upload custpack partition? I have no other way to unbrick this tablet .
zzzz
Is this compatible with my l212? I think its not. Can you check my Dump System? If we are the same partition then i can flash that.
How to root?
Hello everybody.
I bought the tablet, and try to find a way to root it.
All the tools I found didn't make the job...
How do you root your device?
Thanks for your support!

I Had some problems with rooting this piece of crap the conventional way, but I managed to do it using iRoot. The bad thing is that iRoot's SU app will keep installing a lot of useless stuff in Chinese. To get rid of them, you first need to install SuperSU from the Play Store (If I recall correctly CWM Superuser will work fine as well, but ChainsDD Superuser won't, so keep this in mind) after rooting it and then using manually remove the Chinese SuperUser apk that comes with iRoot and once you get rid of it, you can uninstall the remaining Chinese apps the normal way.

I am in the middle of unbricking my Pixi 7 after failed installation of fonts (my font folder CHMOD got messed up and now the device is not booting as it can't reed it), and if I success, I'll post here about the process.
@edit
Okay, if anyone ever has problem with recovering their Pixi 7, here are the steps to make a clean installation using Mobile Upgrade S. The only requirement is to have the device already installed on at least one of your USB ports (otherwise your OS won't detect it, as it will try to install the drivers, but will fail because it sees the device to be disconnecting shortly after plugging it in – at least it was my case):
1. Download Mobile Upgrade S and SP Flash
2. Grab this scatter file.
3. Open the file you just downloaded. Find the following section:
...
partition_index: SYS3
partition_name: PRO_INFO
file_name: NONE
is_download: false
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And replace is_download to true;
4. Open Flash tool and in your download section select your edited scatter file.
5. Go to Readback and select Add.
6. Double-click the added line and save it as pro_info.img
7. Set it as follows: Type : hex , Region EMMC_USER , start : 0x100000 , lenght 0x300000
8. Click Read Back, turn off your Pixi and connect it to your PC via USB cable. It should start the read immediately and after few seccond you should get a success messgae. If it's not the case, try a different USB port.
9. After you got your read, disconnect your Pixi and open newly created pro_info.img file in a hex editor.
10. Find your device version (it's soimewhere at the beggining, around adress 0xA3, and looks like XXXI213-XXXXXXX, where X can be any character, for example mine was COXI213-2DRGPL1) and change it to ENXI213-2BALGB1.
11. Replace your software version (Right after your device ver. Mine was AAZY1AAZ0Z0BD00) for AAZY1AAY0Y0BD00.
12. Save changes to your file.
13. Go back to your SP Flash tool > Download tab
14. Select your scatter file. Deselect all checkboxes. Leave PRO_INFO checked only.
15. Click on PRO_INFO location and select the file you just edited.
16. Select Download and connect your Pixi.
17. When done, run Mobile Upgrade S and follow the standard upgrading process (be aware, that it will take a lot of time to download the ROM, as the download speed goes around 20-50 KB/s. It took me aroung 8h to download it).
18. After installation run your Pixi for the first time and wait for it to boot (don't panic if it takes a bit of time. It will be booting for about 2-5 minutes for the first time).

Great to hear that my instructions helped you and good that you posted it here http://forum.android.com.pl/topic/211918-stock-rom-do-pixi-7/?p=3776346
KINGROOT 4.5.2 works for my pixi7 (i213)
Hey Guys,
So I just bought a brand new ZTE V5 Max and upon receiving found out that it didn't have GAPPS installed which I heaily use those apps so I went down the route of figuring out what was needed to install GAPPS. Please keep in mind I'm writing this to help fellow users of this phone so they don't have to go through the teadious research and chinese translations, I will not be held accountable for anything that goes wrong with your device when doing the below process, I just know it worked perfectly fine for me:
Step 1: Enable Debugging Mode
Head to Settings > About Phone > tap Build Number 8 times or something > Now go Back to settings and tap More > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging.
Step 2: Install Drivers
Plug in your phone and install the AutoRun.exe that appears in the virtual CD drive (shows up when youplug the phone in)
Once you have installed the drivers verify in Device manager that all devices relating to the phone are installed and there's no unknow devices.
Step 3: Root the Phone and install CWM (Chinese Version sorry but the bits that are needed have english written )
Download the Rooting and Custom Recovery tool here -- drive.google.com/file/d/0B8qJPucQA8GkQy1uTk93dUNuMkE/view?usp=sharing
Unzip and double click on the ZTE-V5-MAX-TOOL.exe
It should come up and ask for a password enter the following (no spaces in the password had too due to XDA posting rules) - www . ydss . cn
Now select Option 2 which is the Root option
Now the tool will detect the phone and press any key and it'll reboot (my computer installed more drivers at this point and I had to close the rooting tool window, reboot the phone and start again, once again selecting option 2)
Now it should proceed through the rooting process.
At the end it'll try and install a chinese verison of the Root Checker tool mine failed which is ok.
It then display Sucess.
Now at this point I rebooted the phone and installed a Root Checker to validate that I did have Root acess and I did, you can proberly skip this step.
I then fired up the Rooting tool again but this time selected option 3 which will install the Custom Recover CWM
Once again press any key and it will begin installing the custom recovery
Once complete you should see sucess.
Reboot the Phone and go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Recovery and it should boot to Recovery CWM if it does yay.
Step 4: Installing Gapps
Reboot the phone
Install ES File Explore and give it Superuser Access
Now go to the uper directoy and tap and hold on the System folder then view the details.
You'll need around 150mb free space in there to be able to install GAPPS, I had to install an app called "Uninstall" (red coloured trash can). I then uninstalled the following : Easy Mode, Handbook (as it's chinese), neoshare, nubia Niudun, Nubia PlatLogo, Nubia Poster and Video Sample.
I then had enough room.
Now download Micro Gapps (Go to drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1T7tp6tJ_3kQkZSWjNsazJZbGc&usp=sharing
Then click on "1.10 update_gapps" then "pa_gapps-modular-m" and download it. Then put it in the root directory of you Phone Storage.
Now reboot into recovery (Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Recovery)
Go to the second Option in Recovery called "***** Zip**) and browse to the phones storae and install the Zip.
If sucessfull go back to the main menu of Recovery and go down to the (****Cache**) option and select, then select it again to confirm.
Once complete go back to the Main menu again and choose the top option to reboot.
Walla your done.
Website I for info: shuajizhijia.com/jiaocheng/9170.html&prev=search then use translate in Google.
Have fun guys.
Have fun guys, and keep in mind I probaly wont reply if you ask for help as I have a day job
Now select Option 2 which is the Root option
Now the tool will detect the phone and press any key and it'll reboot (my computer installed more drivers at this point and I had to close the rooting tool window, reboot the phone and start again, once again selecting option 2)
Now it should proceed through the rooting process.
At the end it'll try and install a chinese verison of the Root Checker tool mine failed which is ok.

I then fired up the Rooting tool again but this time selected option 2 which will install the Custom Recover CWM

Hi m8, I'm still waiting for my phone, seems it will take a wile, as I don't have confirmation yet of shipping.

unable to add google account
Hi, I have just received my new ZTE Max 5 and I've spent all evening trying to set up my google account. The phone has google play store installed but I cannot install any apps because I cannot establish my google account. Every time I try to set up the account it says "there was a problem communicating with google servers". Any ideas? (I have disabled 2 google 2 step verification).

Hi, so I was trying to root my ZTE V5 Pro and when i reached the step where it was suposed to root itself, it reeboted and the computer stopped recognizing it. I tried rebooting it several times and restoring its fabric data but it doesnt pass the first screen. It can't open /dev/tty0 because there is no such file or directory. Can anyone please help me?

You said you have the "ZTE V5 Pro". Maybe that is just a typo, but this thread is about the "ZTE V5 Max", so be careful about what you do.
You can try looking at this post and see if it is helpful to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...alcom-2-gb-t2965623/post63005167#post63005167
But you must make your own assessment and take responsibility for the outcome if it is not the right thing to do for your phone.
I just want the GAPPS zip File.
The definite guide to rooting Samsung Galaxy J3(2016) SM-J320FN & FRP Locked Bootloop
As first I have to say, I had to create a thread in Q&A because of the low rank, but I am sure this can be moved to the J3 section as there are many questions on how to gain root access to this device. This guide can work on the SM-J320F model as well, but it hasn't been tested on other models, so don't try it !
Lets start :
Dont forget to Backup all your data before the process !!!
1. Tick USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in Developer Mode (OEM has to be ticked to unlock the bootloader)
2. Connect to PC with USB Cable and open Odin
3. Power off and reboot into Download Mode (VOL.DOWN+HOME+POWER)
4. Add twrp.zip to AP tab
5. Untick Auto-Reboot and Start
6. Wait to finish
7. When it's finished hold (VOL.DOWN+VOL.UP+HOME+POWER) to Power Off
8. Load into TWRP Mode (VOL.UP+HOME+POWER)
9. In TWRP first go to the Wipe Tab, check Cache and Data and click Wipe
10. Copy SuperSU into internal memory from your PC
11. Go back to TWRP and select Install, select the SuperSU from the internal memory and click install without ticking anything, then reboot
12. Wait for the phone to reboot, it may boot-loop a few times, and it boots slowly but dont interrupt the process !
13. From there on, check the root status by downloading Root Checker from PlayStore
KEEP OEM-UNLOCK ON ALL THE TIME, IF YOU DONT WANNA END UP WITH A BRICKED DEVICE(CUSTOM BINARY WAS BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK)!!!
If that happens, here is an official guide from the Samsung Kies Support Page :
IMPORTANT: You may need your device model name, S/N number, or IMEI number in order to proceed. This information can be found on the label underneath your device battery.
WARNING: This process permanently deletes all personal information from the device. The information will not be recoverable if you proceed with this process.

How to root SM-J320FN.rar
Works like a charm on J320FN.
I signed up just to say, after hours of trying different guides, accidentally factory resetting once or twice, and getting my phone stuck in a boot loop, this method worked. BUT it did factory reset my phone, but that's fine I've everything backed up and it wont take long to get it back. Maybe I pressed something I shouldn't have.
Some info on my phone in case it helps anyone in a similar position to how I was:
At one point I installed stock firmware from to get my phone out of the boot loop, I can't link it but if you google "J320FNXXU0APB4_J320FNO2C0APC1_O2C" (WITH quotes) you should find the page.
After doing that:
Android version: 5.1.1
Model number: SM-J320FN
Kernel version: 3.10.65-7225942 (Sun Feb 14 2016)
Build no: LMY47V.J320FNXXU0APB4
Baseband version: J320FNXXU0APB5
I hope I typed all that right. Thank you so much!!

Hey, why this guide doesn't mention that I have to download something. It's definitely NOT definitive! What is twrp.zip? Where do I take it from? What is AP tab? Where exactly do I copy SuperSU? What will happen in the download mode?
Problems in Root J320AZ
My name is Dario Lobos. I am working as a gardener and I am making a little application in my phone. I don't have computer so I did it in Java n-ide. I started with a Samsung core prime but the screen was broken and I did change it and the technicians broke it and gave me an Samsung s320. Android 6 (api23) and after that the java n-ide don't compiles the permits that I am requesting in the manifest so I can't grant permissions to my apk. Parallel of it the phone always show a notice unauthorized actions have been made please restart the phone to undo the unauthorized actions. And the lookout said message root access detected. I wrote Samsung without any positive answer. No technical assistance at all. But the roots checkers says that I have no root in my phone. Now I am trying to do a root. But I don't know if someone have a hidden root access in my phone. A page suggest Framaroot and you suggest kingroot. I don't want to store all my phone in their server to root it. Does any program that don't access to all the data to root the phone?. I am writing you since you have more experience to request you if it is in your possibilities. Also to ask you about prompt root commands. Where I can find info about that. A suggestion to solve my problem. My simple all is here

The system don't let me put url since I am new add please http...
Well thank you in advance and any help is wellcome
Regards,
Dario Lobos
Adding more information to what I did to try to find a an answer. I tried to root with Frama root 1.9.3 and the installation only request me access to the camera and after installed the programs showed a banner that said can't root your device.
Today I downloaded from firmware.mobi some zip and img files but I already I couldn't learn how to use them properly.
I am trying to avoid the exploids system because maybe is a hacker in the middle. Always I am trying to root w/o SIM card and with Wi-Fi off. So I think that kingroot and kingoroot are not useful for my.
I am trying to buy an old desktop computer as an alternative.
Well any suggestion is usefull and wellcome.
Before of all of that I did two factory reset in recovery mode.
Then I installed an apk Dev Tools (trinea) and one menu request me developer permit in accesibility setting. The phone started to change the color of the screen and the outside padding start to flashing red. Then was open a setting menu and the language was changed suddenly to Japanese or Korean while the screen was lighting like receiving knoks. I turned of the phone and restarted and hopefully I remembered the position in settings to change the language.
After that I had to use an apk repair system and fix Android and the screen get better but the padding outside still flashing in red ones in a while.
Also where added plenty sha certificates (settings user certificates) like system certificates
Go daddy
VeriSign
Some governments (Turkish, Spain, Japan, Germany, Holland, and more)
The Catholic religion with 6 certificates called
Quo Basis
And much more.
So I did another factory reset recovery mode. And the screen problem disappeared and the certificates that I turned off manually firt too (All) but the root alert in the look out and the security notice didn't disappeared.
Today I wanted to print your forum page and the phone put error. Only put error in your forum page.
Other thing that I had to to just after the unpackage the restored Android is disable the setup and transfer. Because I think that is this apk that were using to access and modify my files and grants permissions.
I installed the TWRP application but said the phone have no root.
Today I opened the developer option in settings and turned to on the OEM option to unlock the boot loader but instead of put a banner saying that all data will be erased put a banner saying that the device protection will be not work and didn't do the reboot or nothing more that put this dialog.
Dario Lobos
great, unlocken/rooten worked here. But after that, the mobile became unusable. All google apps complain no connection is available. I cannot update google play store, cannot update other google apps like youtube, or install any app now.
And perhaps it does not have anything to do with the mentioned process, but before I started the process, I made sure all nessacary file were on the sd card. But now I have finished wiping the data / cache from the recovery and all files on the sd card are gone.
I cannot login to google photos to see if the apps are backupped because every google app complains no internet connection is available.
So yes, rooting/unlocking worked, but that's the only thing that worked here. I now got a useless Samsung J3 2016...
I need assistant trying to root my J320FN, which I mistakenly wipe some backed up recovery file now, I can not get through with the rooting and I can get back to forma phone setting am locked up , samsung phone not coming up again please what can I do ?

The definite guide to rooting Samsung Galaxy J3(2016) SM-J320FN & FRP Locked Bootloop
As first I have to say, I had to create a thread in Q&A because of the low rank, but I am sure this can be moved to the J3 section as there are many questions on how to gain root access to this device. This guide can work on the SM-J320F model as well, but it hasn't been tested on other models, so don't try it !
Lets start :
Dont forget to Backup all your data before the process !!!
1. Tick USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in Developer Mode (OEM has to be ticked to unlock the bootloader)
2. Connect to PC with USB Cable and open Odin
3. Power off and reboot into Download Mode (VOL.DOWN+HOME+POWER)
4. Add twrp.zip to AP tab
5. Untick Auto-Reboot and Start
6. Wait to finish
7. When it's finished hold (VOL.DOWN+VOL.UP+HOME+POWER) to Power Off
8. Load into TWRP Mode (VOL.UP+HOME+POWER)
9. In TWRP first go to the Wipe Tab, check Cache and Data and click Wipe
10. Copy SuperSU into internal memory from your PC
11. Go back to TWRP and select Install, select the SuperSU from the internal memory and click install without ticking anything, then reboot
12. Wait for the phone to reboot, it may boot-loop a few times, and it boots slowly but dont interrupt the process !
13. From there on, check the root status by downloading Root Checker from PlayStore
KEEP OEM-UNLOCK ON ALL THE TIME, IF YOU DONT WANNA END UP WITH A BRICKED DEVICE(CUSTOM BINARY WAS BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK)!!!
If that happens, here is an official guide from the Samsung Kies Support Page :
IMPORTANT: You may need your device model name, S/N number, or IMEI number in order to proceed. This information can be found on the label underneath your device battery.
WARNING: This process permanently deletes all personal information from the device. The information will not be recoverable if you proceed with this process.
1. Open Kies 3 and click Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.
2. Enter your device Model name and click OK.
3. Enter the device S / N number and click OK.
4. Kies 3 will verify that the feature is available for your device. If the feature is available, click OK to continue.
5. The firmware version is displayed along with a note that the information on your device will be permanently deleted during this process. Click OK to continue.

The link says "the key is invalid"
Hello guys,
I have come many times here to root my phone and I did success, thanks to you.
But now there is a new problem and I did not find any solution, then I will try to explain with my bad english what I did :
At first I tried to flash TWRP (an unofficial one many said it was working) on the phone after unlocking the bootloader, SP flash tool said it was successful.
But it was not, after reboot former recovery was still there, not TWRP (does anyone knows why it did not work ?).
I tried to install Lineage, which bricked my phone. After the debrick, I installed Android 10 GSI, and it worked but impossible to use MTP, Bluetooth or to download with the HTMLViewer (in other words, the system was unusable).
Then I reinstalled the ROM provided by Blackview, and installed Magisk, rooted the phone, also suppressing all the Google stuff it was possible.
And there is the main problem : I think I erased the NVRAM while unbricking the phone and then I have got an overlay of red chinese caracters on the corner of the screen. I tried to replace the original IMEI and MEID successfully with MAUI Meta, but chinese caracters are remaining here.
A screenshot of the ugly writings : https ://ibb.co/bWWp1wr
My phone is a Blackview BV9500 Plus.
Any suggestion about how to remove them ?
Thanks in advance !
I have just tried to replace the BT/Wifi adresses with SN Writer.
The soft said it was a success, but in the system parameters of the phone these adresses were not modified. I wonder why...
I guess these adresses (and/or the serial number, in others words all the parameters of the NVRAM) are the causes of the message. What do you think about that ?
Also, in the official firmware, there are some files for only one choice for the AP and MD databases (what are the correct ones ?).
I think I almost tried everything I am able to do...
Any suggestion or solution ?
Thanks

Hi John, same issue here, but not same process. Phone won't boot so I've restored which made IMEIs being 111111 and 22222. Used MetaModem (successor of AMUI Meta or whatever you used is called) to restore correct IMEIs. But got those red "TEE" and "Google" followed by Chinese chars. Will keep you updated here if I can find a solution.
@John Manjiro
It seem's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) for Android is installed on your phone. It's a secure Operating System (OS) what runs in parallel to Android OS. TEE protects phone from malicious apps installed by the user and potential vulnerabilities that may be discovered in Android.
Did you ever find a solution to this?

Still same issue, got a long email thread with BlackView team which tried to help even tho they seem to not get well my Enlgish. They keep giving me a version of SNWritter where I had to modify some ini file in some tee subfolder. But the exe couldn't launch and was complaining about MVC100.dll missing. I could fix that by downloading from the web a SNWritter tool with working exe. Now I need to find some special screwdriver so that I can remove the battery from the phone. Doing so will keep the phone appearing as MT65XX Preloader in the devices manager and not for only one second...
Just FYI, I gave up and was using it with this **** red overlay.
Last week I was really bored of this overlay so I've installed AOSP 10 GSI. Tho it doesn't pass safety net, and believe me I've tried many way to make it pass. So I cannot use most of my banking apps + no google pay :-(
I even tried with AOSP 9, 10 and 11, as well as LineageOS 15, 17 and 18... unable to pass safety net even with universal safety net fix, magiskhidepropsconf, ...
Hahaha, looks like I just needed to write the previous post and finally got it wokring on PixelExperience Android 10 rooted and passing SafetyNet!!!!
Quick howto if someone is interested:
with SPFlashTools, restore the original ROM
Activate developer mode + USB debug
on the computer, adb reboot bootloader
Download PixelExperience system image and extract it (on linux with unxz) - I've tried many other ROMs with no success. Also while the device is not an A/B, you must download A/B images else they do not work.
fastboot -w && sleep 1 && fastboot flash system path/to/downloaded/system.img && fastboot reboot
Skip everything you can skip at first boot (you can restore later from an online backup or another android phone)
Download MagiskManager apk
adb push path/to/MagiskManager.apk /sdcard/download/
On the phone go in the file manager in download folder and install MagiskManager
copy the boot-signed.img from stock ROM on the device adb push path/to/boot-signed.img /sdcard/download
Open Magisk Manager, install, uncheck the first checkbox (to disable encryption, I forgot the exact label) but keep "recovery mode" checked, then click on next, then second option (patch boot image) and select the boot-signed.img you uploaded on step 10
download on your computed the patched image using adb pull
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot path/to/downloaded/patched-boot-magisk.img
You need to reboot in recovery mode, this is important: press power and volume up until you see the Blackview logo (can take up to 40 seconds)
select "reboot" (first option) in the recovery mode
once rebooted, open magisk manager, activate magisk hide and go in plugins.
install MagiskHideProps Config but do not reboot yet
install SafetyNet fix (download from here, it's not in online modules)
click on reboot
It'll reboot in recovery, that is normal and you MUST boot your device into recovery each time you need to boot/reboot it. Once in recovery, as before select reboot
Once it has rebooted, go in magisk and change in the settings so that the default method is not "prompt" but "grant".
from your computer:
adb shell
su
props
Select device fingerprint, then choose from certified, google, pixel 2, android 10
confirm but do not reboot when asked, simply exit
adb reboot recovery
again, select "reboot system"
Once booted, open Magisk Manager, click SafetyNet, it should pass SafetyNet.
Scroll down notification, and choose "continue device setup"
continue as normal the setup of the bv9500 plus!
