[Q] Alcatel OT-983 root and unlock - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought an Alcatel OT-983 and I would like to root and unlock it.
Any ideas about how could I do one of these?

Go here for root http://error-soft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2923

Thanks for root, is there a custom recovery to allow nandroid backup ?

go to here unlockroot.com

I managed to unlock it for free using the O2 one month pay monthly trick. I received the unlock code in 48 hours.

got the root and the unlock, have now posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35243450&postcount=1 and uploaded the recovery.img hoping someone would be kind enough to create a CWM for the OT0983.
cheers...

Some kind person over at 'hotukdeals' did me a favour and got me the SIM unlock code from the carrier. Root was easy enough, unfotunately not much support for this device, without a CWM recovery, or a stock rom, Iam reluctant to do any further changes.

There is an official application called "Alcatel One Touch Upgrade NB v1.02" that may be able to restore people's broken phones to their default brand new state: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/E3K4W5EI/one-touch-upgrade-nb-1-0-3-setup-medoclite.exe_links
The .exe name says v1.03 so does their website but it is actually v1.02. This may help these of you who have messed up your phones.

my bricked phone keeps restarting so I couldn't use alcatel one touch upgrade
thanks mate but still my problem is not solved
the thing is alcatel onetouch upgrade tells me turn my phone off and connect to pc via usb cable but the problem is as soon as i connect my phone via usb the phone turn on, so alcatel one touch upgrade fails at 65% download from the server
I can get my phone in to recovery mode but I think I will need the rom, i dont know
if someone bought a new phone of this model and made a rom backup and if you can post that it will be really nice

need the system.img for this phone
i have lost my system.img and i need it, please send it
thanks

if you guys could give me detailed instructions as to how i can extract the system.img file i might be able to help you. I have a stock rooted phone btw, i've uninstalled a few applications i didn't want and move some to sd using link2sd i think, not sure if that matters or not. My phone is currently not unlocked to all networks but will be within the next 2 weeks.

fixed alcatel ot 983 unbricked
hello guys I have bought a new alcatel ot 983 to fix my old one
I got the rom, I am a new guy so I can't post link
email me on [email protected]
I will send you my dropbox file link which has the rom

you don't say which specific device you are using, nor where you got the info from that you flashed... if I were you, grab your original stock firmware here (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) and flash back to stock. After that, read read read regarding any changes you want to make and ALWAYS have a nandroid backup created in case you mess something up again and need to restore quickly...
Thanks for the reply but I went there and the files link was broken sorry,here's my specifications:
Model: GT 10.1 P7500
Country: Nigeria
I used superuser to root it.
And kernel 1.4ghz stuff to increase the speed<<this is what caused it.
Can u pls send a link to the stock frame ware!thx

I assume you created an account with the website to download, I selected a couple and did not have an issue. Another site (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P7500) you can try. The onus is on you to search and find what you need (I have no idea what your stock firmware is), I am just going to point you in the direction to make it easier.
Thankyou but bro,the country that I bought it in was not listed,all I need is a frameware with english language and makes my 3g work!thx

[Help]How to root or toggle fullscreen on Sharp SH930W

Hello developers.
First, I swear that I already searched all the forum posts for my device support (Sharp SH930W - Japan smartphone) but there are none.
I can't find the way to root my phone and of course I can't install ROM (if available) for this phone too . I know that this is not a famous smartphone but it running Android 4.1.1 and have all the standard apps, the phone is quite powerful itself (dual core, 2Gb RAM, 5inch IGZO screen)
If there is noway to root it, perhaps help me to toggle fullscreen mode (hide status bar, bottom bar). I tried many app on CHPlay but all of them for rooted device or older Android version.
Please help.
er, emergency. Please Help?
Got this phone in Thailand... Some help with rooting would be greatly appreciated

I am waiting :good::good::good:
So, right now the situation is:
SHBreak didn't work
Bin4ry's root didn't work
No flashable custom recovery available
Can't extract stock recovery (to get started with CWM builder)
How are we supposed to get started? Probably by finding a proper exploit, but I can only wait for that
Bin4ry said that his root won't work (I checked out on the pre-FeelUX firmware as well) and I still haven't got an answer from the guy responsible for SHBreak. Maybe somebody who speaks Japanese could help in the communication process
hi guys,
well, here we are....bought the mobile in Taiwan, like the display and it was cheap (11900 NTD which is around 300 euro). no root modified ROM or rooting available.
wondering how long it will take...
regards from shanghai,
elmo
oh
we are obviously too early, released in e few countries only...
I got mine few days ago from HK, You get a lot for 300e...
I can put it in fastboot, does that mean phone is unlocked, or you can have fastboot on locked phone?

[Q] Bricked Alcatel One Touch 4030X

Hi there! I bricked my alcatel by deleting a folder which apparently was vital for android. Is there any way to unbrick it without paying a visit to alcatel's service? I need PWM or TWRP to flash it with the stock rom, right? Unfortunately I hadn't installed either, so is there any other way to flash the stock rom now?

No, the OTUS trick didn't work for me. The only way to fix this is by having the stock ROM which is the 4030X. If anyone has it or has Alcatel One touch S'Pop with 4030X(not A,D,E,Y only X) firmware, please pm me.

What do you mean? It was android 4.1 for Alcatel One Touch S'Pop. And the code of the ROM is 4030X
4030A is for America
4030D & 4030E is for the dual sim variant of S'Pop (named Glory 2) for Europe and Asia correspondingly
4030Y is the NFC version.
I guess 4030X is Europe and single sim
At this moment I have used 4030E to unbrick it but I have locked networks, no Greek, 2 sim operating system and an S'Pop which says Glory 2 on boot up. It's not very possible I get a warranty-covered fix in this situation.
I can use the rom from any stock 4030X, I'm just looking for a 4030X owner with a non-bricked device to contact me.

Now a days handset manufactures customise ROM for different markets they see (sim free) OR the sales channel through service providers (network sales) . they also tweak the ROM loader points accordingly. So the only option for you is to find out where the original ROM backup and try and load it.
Any luck finding the stock ROM for the 4030X model?

You are not late at all. I haven't found anything yet, so I'd be awfully thankful to you if you'd help me.
1)Does your language menu include greek?
2)Does your phone say "onetouch s'pop" when it's starting?(or it says "onetouch Glory2"?)
3)Does your firmware version in settings say 4030X?(or it says 4030E/4030D/4030A?)

I've sent you a couple private messages, have you seen 'em? I'm asking because I got no reply yet...
Not much of an android expert, but I recently(as in 5 hours ago) bricked my one touch 4033a and I was pretty frantic. But, you should be able to reset the phone through holding down volume then power. Unless that is not possible as well. I'm not sure if the rom from my provider will be able to help you. PM me if that's possible, and instruct me how to do that.

I finally took it to the service center and had it fixed. They charged nothing. They didn't even ask anything. This is your best chance if you'd ask me. Yet when I get back home cause I'm away for a couple days, I could possibly send you my backup to try and upload it to your phone, but I have to warn you that this is highly probable to complicate things even more. Think it over and let me know.
I may just do that, phone only a few months old, not been touched rooting wise, sure it may be an app that caused the prob, will have to see if I can find the receipt for it, was only bought as a cheap replacement till I can get a better phone. Don't have much luck with phones, already got two bricked Moto Defy's, Don't know if half my problem is running win7 as a virtual machine on a mac

Don't even think about it. Since you haven't even routed the phone, service center is way your best solution. Do find that receipt!!

Hi there Junior and everybody
I am EXACTLY in the same situation. I was messing with the vold.fstab in order to switch external memory card as internal, and... BRICK!
Blank screen after "Alcatel'SPop" welcome logo. I tryed PWR+VOLUP and then "wipe data/factory reset" (without knowing what that really meant, i have to say and nothnig happened, i am still in stuck in the blank screen.
If i could get a rom image, i guess i could copy it into the external memory card and "apply update form phone memory".. Isn't it?
If so, now the issue is to find the proper rom: Alcatel onetouch S pop (4030X)
Any hint, help, advise?
thank you

I had a clone s4 some time ago called No1 S6, after some time its internal sd card got broken... i do not recommend it to root and flash custom rom to that phones.
it had an mtk6582 which was a midrange SoC while that now its one of the crappiest chipsets..
however, clone mediatek phones do not have a "download mode", so odin does not work as well
You need to get the real name of the phone, i think there was a youtuber who reviewed a clone galaxy a9 his youtubechannel name was "mayiandjay" you could contact him via email for the devices name.
Then search on needrom.com for a rom for that phone and flash it via SP flashtool. When flashing a rom to a mtk phone with spflashtool the phone just needs to be turned off, no need to get into any mode ;
