[Q] Someone with Alcatel OT Fierce root, Please Read

Hello Guys,
I use to much information from this forum, but now I really need your help. This is what happen to me. I bought and Alcatel Fierce, when i try to put all my stuff(pictures, apps, etc) from my oldest Galaxy Ace, I used titanium backup, but i forget uncheck apps from the system so Titanium put apk´s in system/app in the Alcatel Fierce... ¿Results? Does not work Dialer, contacts, play store, Calendar... When power on, the message "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stoped" popup.
What i Tried?
- Factory Reset
- I read to much and Flash Stock Rom is not an option, because no one have this rom(even T-mobile, or not realese in easy way)
- Put apk´s manually, downloaded from internet(FOR THIS IS MY REQUEST TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME):
Here i get some advance to fix this problem, the dialer works with a dialer.apk downloaded from internet, so i think someone who get this same phone maybe can get a copy of all apps from (system/app/) and lend me that backup.
The system information of my phone:
Original Carrier: T-mobile
Model:Alcatel one touch Fierce
Firmware: 4.2.2
Build Number: L2RUMR0
I appreciate to all people who can give me some help or ideas to fix this; if someone have this phone i sincerely thank to help me to try this metod to fix it.
Thanks for your time
PD: Sorry for me english, i dont know if its understandable, i just write this based on hours of read and use logic sentences. Obviously im not speak english (yet:fingers-crossed
Still looking?
Hey, I don't know whether or not you are still looking for a copy of the apps, but if you still are i'd be happy to help. Just reply to tell me if you need it.

I am a registered member of tomotlei.com. I found the rom- Galaxy Note8 SM-N9500 v5.0
But when you want to download anything from this site you need membership in https://pan.baidu.com/s/1jIP7pno. For this you need a china telephone number for the OTP to be sent . I am stuck there.
The Chinese web page cn be translated easily by Google translate, The rom I told is in Chinese Language. As I know from the discussion there is no multi language option in this rom. So my request is to anybody who has membership in this website, p;ease download it and p;ease translate it to English . It will be great help for those having Galaxy note 8 SM-N9500.
Thanking you

As spoken earlier, if you prefer English room of tomeitolei website then there is no chance to get it since all ROMs there are only in Chinese and even some rom doesn't contain gapps or Google play store. Best way is to stay unroot or else you root by changing TGY bl to CHC bl then root with SuperSU or maybe magisk if you can.
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=f...ypeid=12917&typeid=12917&filter=typeid&page=1
here is an other site for n9500 roms.
for both bbs or tomatolei sites, downloads are mostly hosted at Baidu.
its free and dosent require an account.
use a computer or request dektop version after entering passwords to access download links.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4443982&stc=1&d=1520780942
now that you can dl the rom. you are 50% closer to your goal.
hey, there. I'm from China, and im glad to help you with the download, i can download it and upload it on Mega if you want. One thing you should know that most ROM in Chinese cut down multi language even Google services to keep ROM thin. so, im afraid if you install a ROM without google service will take you inconvenient.
Please do

After you upload, we can ask some expert developer to add google services and also to have English language added to it

I think there will be English language inside this rom, but i'm not sure coz i just own N950F device not 9500 (just read the intro. on website), you can try to flash it with Odin. This rom already rooted and include Google Service, but no Play Store and Play Apps, you can download it manually or flash Gapps. thx.

Thanks for this difficult and great effort from u,that too when even u r not having a note 8 SM-N 9500..
I have downloaded ,extracted the firmware.
There is one notepad in Chinese which I tried to translate,but failed- attachment
There are two CSC files
1- CSC_Tomato-N9500-RA2-v5.0-odin.tar.md5
2-CSC_WIPE_Tomato-N9500-RA2-v5.0-odin.tar.md5
Only one can be flashed in Odin, which one?
I went to tomotlei site with help of google translate, but failed to find tutorials
I think before flashing a factory reset may be required
I know I am asking too much help from u, but there are nobody else I can ask. If you can find a tutorial kindly post it so that all interested parties can be benefited.
Thanking You

flash it just like stock ROM, use BL AP CP CSC files, CSC_WIPE means if you use this file, it will erase all your data on your phone (recommend, avoid FC problem), another one is keeping your data (using when update 6.0 release).
CROM need to be unlocked, otherwise you cant flash it (Odin will show FAIL), you can find tutorials in xda forums to unlock the CROM.
Chinese in the opening windows

thanks for your help.
I flashed the rom by odin, putting csc file - all wipe
all went smoothly, and rebooted, but the screen came with chinese writing with three options lower down, which i could not understand .
I pressed the top option, then started updating, finally the rom installed.
There is english language, but no google play or services.
Then i flashed the latest gapps for nougat 7.1.1, (aroma variant) . Installed corrctly, but fails to open the google play stone- crashed
then i wiped whole rom, restore the stock without the difficulty.
What i noticed is that , i could not find all the additional options they clamed in this rom under settings, it is the same as the stock rom, only there is change of battery icon and the clock is in the centre.
May be it is due to the option i selected.
Finally, what i think is that we need some help from persons who knows chinese and english to help us all to give a good tutorial to flash this rom.
It is very smooth and you can flash it easily and reverted back also easily. You will not loose your root or twrp
so somebody who knows english and chinese , please come forward and help us all.
Once again thanking you
drsaidalavi
I have to tell you that if you flash it, you will:
get a rooted phone
can only charge your phone to 80%
lose official customer support from Samsung immediatly
shows unofficial phone every time you boot it up
etc.
I dont really suggest you to do that, to be honest. But it is your choice.
