Hi,
I want to try install the new Cyanogenmod on my Tab, read a bit about it, and tried last night to get it going. many different forums and steps were tried... none worked? Thing is, I read a lot of terms and stuff, but I'm not sure what they all mean.
My route took me through Android SDK's for drivers, Samsung drivers with escape??? no clue what that was?? Nvidia drivers? Then tried to use a program called Clockworkmod? Confusing, especially since nothing seemed to actually do anything?
What is it that I need to do exactly?
What i can say is that when I boot my Tab up, there is an unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen.
I have the latest Cyanogenmod for my Tab "p3" downloaded, as well as the Google Apps.
Cheers

You need to use Odin to flash Clockworkmod recovery onto your tablet.
Then you need to download the p4wifi (if yours is wifi) edition of CM9
Then boot clockworkmod recovery and flash CM9 and then Google Apps
ok, but with more in depth steps please, i got a better idea now though!! thanks

Root http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-root-clockworkmod-recovery-50799/ (stop after step 12.)
CM9 Flashable Zip http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/4709/cm-9-20120720-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
Get into recovery mode, go to install zip from SD, select the zip /\ hit yes. Reboot.
Ok, no joy,
What I seem to have:
A working fastboot, fastboot devices does list my device. And when I try flash something via Odin, my Tab says "flashing mbr to device" so my action on my pc does initiate something on the tab. yet it stops there, at the flashing mbr to device screen. It does not start the recovery img.
A working adb, adb reboot recovery does reboot my tablet, but it still does not boot into recovery. It has a android sign, with a yellow exlamation mark over it.
I've tried to flash skitzandroid, clockworkmod, and the tabrooteasy one. I just cant seem to get this thing rooted?
Is there something I'm missing?
I do have an unlocked padlock on my screen when i boot it up.
He has a p7100 why are you guys sending him to flash p4wifi Wtf!
Dude go to 10.1v development section and read cm9 thread you will find everything you need there

this method and the 993D has stopped working after a kernel upgrade, try this this way, if the last time out, then and now should.
Sorry for translate.google
1. download the utility View attachment unlockbootloader.rar
2. Unzip to your C drive
3. Run and choose unlockbootloader.exe ROOT Your Background
4. Wait for all operations. Console appears that self-close after the completion of the process of obtaining mouth
5. Download and install SuperSU

As I can see from your other posts you rooted the 997D with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 solution. After that you did the system firmware update and you don't have root anymore?
I also updated the firmware of my 997D through my phone settings/about phone/system updates/check for update and after that I first tried to root my phone with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 utility and it didn't work.
Is there any way to rollback our firmware?

Before running unlockbootloader try to disable antivirus, and run as administrator.

i'm pretty sure the update is preventing the root. Badluck for us then? i know a bit of android, but i'm no developer so i can't make a rootfix by my own
Anyone here has some knowledge to get our nice device rooted?

The root is not working with that tool
SuperOneClick: Step #7 .. after that, freeze
same here, tried both superoneclick and the binary root, both don't work anymore.
Nice move from alcatel to fix root in an update, if i only knew this before i updated
Also tried Unlockroot 3.0 (which was updated recently) but it doesn't work
ok, found this out, when you shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, phone starts in android recovery mode 3e, any possible chance to get the phone rooted this way?
c'mon guy's i want this phone rooted, getting resolution problems with games (software buttons of ics hide some of the screen) can't start some gps apps because of this stupid software buttons)
anyone dare to try this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ldao6p9eyjuu1f9
I'm prepared to even pay for a working root, so if anyone has found a way, pls contact me at pm
Any news on this subject? I love the phone, but I miss the SetCPU profiles I used on my previous phone, and a battery meter with percentage...
Nothing yet, I have tried every available method soc,unlockroot,bin4ary etc and nothing works after the firmware update.
Is there anyone who hasn't done the firmware update and can root his phone? If yes please do a factory reset and take a backup of his ROM and upload.
I guess our best bet would be a port of CWM recovery. Maybe I'll backup the stock recovery and use the CWM recovery builder this evening if I have the time

I'll reply to myself: no way, since you need to be rooted in order to dump the stock recovery. Maybe if someone could try to extract the OTA update so we could examine the files and look if the recovery.img is there...
---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Ok, I have managed to get something.
Following this tutorial by Bruno Martins (a well known rom cooker who's also a user here) I've been able to dump recovery.img from my Alcatel OT-997D: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
The tutotial was meant for MT6513 and MT6573 devices, but looks like it works on MT6577 too.
Then, I've used that file with the Clockworkmod recovery builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and now I have another recovery image, which is supposed to be a CWM port for our Alcatel.
I'm still unsure to flash that recovery, since I can't be sure it will work. Mediatek based phones do not have a fastboot mode, so it's impossible to just try a recovery image without actually flashing it. In fastboot mode, you can boot the phone into a custom recovery without actually flashing it, so you risk nothing if it doesn't work
In case someone daring enough wants to try my custom recovery, I've uploaded it to my Mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7232aj7jhg7l4e5
The idea is that, with a working CWM recovery, it should be possible to flash Chainfire's SuperSU root zip and easily root the phone.
Of course I warn you this could ruin the recovery image on your phone, so don't risk doing it if you're not sure.

Hey dude it didn't work. Motochopper was able to install only superuser but was unable to root. I wasn't able to give root access to root uninstaller so i verified using root verifier and it showed that device is not rooted.
I even tried MTK root toolkit which roots chinese phone of MT series but it also couldn't root my tabet. I have read that this tool kit currently doesn't support anything higher than jellybean 4.1.
Did you try using http://www.unlockroot.com/ ? It says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43037172#post43037172 .
I can help, you will need to use SP Flash tool to pull your phones stock recovery and copy it to pc. Then you can either use MTK droid tools to unpack the stock recovery and repack it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a root.zip OR I can use android kitchen to repack the recovery for you.
Let me know which way you want to proceed, I can either help you do it or I can give you the directions to do it.
You can also try looking at my previous posts, specifically the post about the Z3Z6Z7 phone (MTK6575 processor), I found a Chinese root program that rooted my MTK6575 in like 30 secs, and this was after I ran every root method I could find and they all failed except the Chinese root method.

***FIRST*** Very Important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use MTK Droid Tools to make a backup of your stock rom, some of these MTK devices are very hard to find stock firmware for floating around on the net so it is better to be safe rather than sorry later, I would suggest making at least 3 back ups just to be sure you have them and BEFORE you start modifying the recovery or any other part of the system now that you are rooted. This back up made by MTK Droid Tools saved my butt on that Z3Z6Z7, if not for a back up I would have a soft bricked phone with no way to recover!
Ok, so the chinese root program worked for you? You will need to go back and download SuperSU from the Play Store to replace the chinese superuser app the program installs preferably.
Then for SP flash tool, what processor does your device have? The directions for pulling files from a MTK device varies with each platform, I.E. MT6515, MT6573, MT6575, MT6577, and MT6589 so I would need to know which processor you have to give you correct directions. Now that you are rooted you may not need the recovery unless you want it to perform a back up of your stock system, which you can also do with MTK DroidTools
Hope this helps, if so hit my thanks button please!

Yes, I will make the backups, only problem being i would need to read a lot more about it before i implement anything (now that i am root).
Yes, the chinese program worked. How do i replace the chinese app with supersu ? Just double tap supersu in that chinese menu ?
I have MT6577 as my processor..I think I will take the recovery I want to perform a backup of the stock system as well. Just in case..
You are too kind. thanks!

Making a back up with MTK Droid Tools backs up all parts of your stock system, it can also be flashed back to the phone with Sp Flashtool if ever need be.
If you need a hand making back ups I can help you either by giving directions or by having you download and install Teamviewer on your Pc, this will allow me to connect to your Pc and show you how to make back ups. It is pretty simple though, you would just need to connect phone to PC then run the MTK Droid Tools program, then the left side of programs box will populate with info about your phone and you will see at top of screen 2 tabs, one (Current tab) say Phone information, then the second says Root, backup, recovery. Select the second tab then click the big back up button, if the button is not lit up then you will need to click the root button at bottom right side of box to allow ADB shell su permissions to it can pull system files in the back up. (which also happens to contain your stock recovery so no need to use SP flash tool to get it :good: )
Also, have a look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825722
The great Master Shifu Yuweng has taught me very very much about these MT65XX devices and most of what I learned about MTK devices came from this thread, the rest from Master Yuweng directly! (Thanks again Yuweng!)
To change to SuperSU just go to Play Store (or Market depending on which is on the device, my MT6575 had Market then I opened it first time and it changed to Play) and search for and download SuperSU, then when it asks to install binary when you open SuperSU just say yes, then normal install, when the chinese superuser prompt up comes up hit the right button and you will then get prompts from the english SuperSU any future root requests from apps after that.
Hope this helps!

To use the flash tool to flash the back up back to the phone, you just need to connect the phone to pc with battery removed usually for most MT6577 devices after hitting download button in SP flash tool and the back up will be downloaded onto the device.

Okay! so a few doubts,
1. I have a tablet which I can't really open. So yeah. removing the battery is out.
2. My android recovery (factory-builtin) comes up when i press power+volume buttons and shows the option of updating from the sdcard. Can I use that for flashing instead of SP Flash ? (just copy contents to the SD card and update from there?)

No need to doubt me, I wont steer you wrong mate!
1) Lol, yes then in your case it is kind of hard to remove battery so skip that part.
2) as far as I know, you can not use stock recovery to flash the firmware file, you will need to use SP FlashTool or a custom recovery. Here are directions on how to use SP Flash Tool:
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
Then to get the SP Flash tool go here:
http://www.4shared.com/folder/Q_MYd0k_/MT65xx_Tools.html
If you need a password to access these files, The password to login is "bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com" (No quotes). Have fun.
However when you make the back up with MTK Droid Tools it also makes a backup in zip format that is able to be flashed through recovery once you make your stock recovery into a custom one that will allow you to flash zip files that are not "officially" signed, the stock recovery will only allow signed zips to be flashed so you need to a custom recovery to flash your back up files to phone via recovery.
Good luck!

You will need to make your own recovery, if you want to upload your stock recovery on here, I can unpack and repack for you to make it into a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP based. If you are thinking of using Rom Manager to install a custom recovery I would not suggest doing that unless it specifically shows your devices model number in the list of devices before you try to flash it through Rom Manager...
Sure Man if i will need to make recovery/custom rom i would definitely give you trouble. Can you tell me
1. how can i upgrade to 4.2 jellybean as i don't see anything like windows cd or online update for android OS ? Even in 'about' info there is no option to update and on iball website no updates are available for jellybean 4.1.2 for my tablet ?
2. where are the wallpapers stored in tablet ?

I have an Samsung galaxy trend plus GT-7580, Europian version. (sorry my english) and I want it to be rooted. Is there any guide to how to root this phone?
I have an GT-7580 galaxy trend plus, european too.
I confirm root with Kingo root: easy, functional and secure!
Search kingo root, download the windows program, active the "USB Debugging" on the developpers mode (activate this menu in Setting -> More -> About Device -> 5 or 6 clicks at BUILD NUMBER), install and run the program with the phone connected....et voilà!

I used VRoot to root mine. Found out about it randomly (someone said they managed to root a phone with it) and, luckily, it was compatible with the S7580 as well.
I'm waiting for some custom roms now.

I used the vroot. It seem legit. And I strip off alot of bloatware. plus I removed the vroot own su with the normal su.
Same here. I'm not sure how much of the rumors were true (about vRoot being malware and all that), but it helped me a bunch when there were no other alternatives. The support for S7580 is very limited at the moment and it was difficult to find even a way to root it.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Same as you HenryStar, I removed a bunch of stock crap I wasn't using and replaced the chinese SU app with SuperSU. So far so good; can't wait for people to start taking an interest in this phone so we can have some alternatives to the stock rom.
By the way, did you manage to install any recovery on it?
i have that phone to...lets hope that they will make a treath for trend plus..lets see...so we rooted the phone..wath did u make overclock?? or something to him?
I don't usually overclock my phones. Besides, the S7580 is rather snappy and I'm not sure the minimal improvement is worth the extra stress on the CPU.
Still waiting and hoping for a separate section for it.
Sorry if I was late with my answer and no, I tried to install custom recovery. I gonna test this so I can get an custom recovery on this phone in the futher.

Extract recovery img:
For ADB:
connect phone via usb(make sure usb debugging is connected).
Start ADB
from windows:
Click Start
Run -> Cmd.exe
type "adb shell"(without quotations)
from ubuntu:
Press Ctrl+alt+t(or open the terminal)
type "./adb shell"(without quotations)
when in the shell type "su"(without quotations)
On your phone a dialogue window will appear asking for permission to grant superuser. Click yes!!
now type "cat /proc/mtd"(without quotations)
A list of partitions(or w/e they are) should appear, you're looking for the one called "recovery". Mine is labeled mt8, I assume this is the same for you, but I could be wrong. For your phone's sake let's just make sure we're certain!!!
now in the shell type:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
your recovery.img should now be on the root of your sdcard

When booted into recovery go to device manager on your pc. Do you see an icon with a yellow exclamation mark? If so, right click on it and go to where it lets you choose a driver from a list on the computer. Choose android adb composite interface.

In addition to what @jd1639 said, once your device is recognized by your PC, if you continue to have problems when in recovery menu, try to unplug and replug in your USB cable.

EDIT
i found it and i install composite adb driver even if windows was saying me that it can't verify driver's signature.
installing ota with sideload is safe?

Yes. I would add that it's a good idea to unlock your bootloader first. If something goes wrong and your bootloader is locked, you're pretty much screwed.

Actually two steps. 1st check that box in developer options. 2nd, boot to bootloader and enter this command > fastboot oem unlock
NOTE: This will wipe the contents of your SDcard.

i was looking for a way to force ota without wipe or unlocking...
do you suggest me OTA sideload procedure or wait for official ota?

Your choice. Process and likely outcomes do not differ. My point is regarding risk and reward. I understand that you don't want to unlock or wipe. My caution to you is this: the OTA package sometimes fails to install, part way through the process. If your bootloader is locked, your device will probably be bricked and your only option will be RMA. I'm not trying to scare you into doing something you don't want to do, just pointing out the facts. And it doesn't matter whether you sideload the OTA, or wait for it to show up on your device. The risk is the same.
On the other hand, if your bootloader is unlocked, and the OTA fails, you can easily recover from it. In fact, you don't even need to sideload the OTA. You can then fastboot flash the Google factory image.
uhm... ok... i'm understanding...
don't you think a bricking ota is almost a paradox?
i mean... Htc & Google make a update with errors or problems? it's foolish.
I can understand a custom rom but two giants like 'em...
i don't know what to do... i'm gonna think about it
thanks for your help!

I'm certainly not debating the paradox with you. I'm just providing advice based on my own experience, and the (unfortunate) experience of other users on this forum. Good luck with what ever you decide to do here....
