All right, I have a question... I have tried a root method for Alcatel OT-918 from your forums, and it worked... but after some time, I turned my phone off and then it would suddenly go to Android screen and restart itself and then go to Android startup screen and do the same, it caught in a loop, although it had worked for weeks after I rooted in... anyway... I sent it to repair service and they said that only thing they did is upgraded software as suggested by manufacturer. Now when I try to root my phone using FlashTool and a given scatter file for my android I simply can not, it says "Can not find USB port." Although I have all the drivers installed and everything is working properly... nevertheless, when I tried to install alternative usb_driver, I got an error saying "no device tree"... Anyway, I really need a solution and find out why is this happening...

Hello guys,
Ive been lurking here for a while and i finally thought about joining the gang.
I cant find the LG E510 thread here so please move my thread if this place is inappropriate. Thank you.
I updated this E510 via the LG mobile support software and the install [after downloading firmware] got stuck at around 4% then at 14%
The software prompted me to remove the phone from connection, pull out the battery then try again. Now its stuck at boot screen.
I can start up the "Emergency Mode", where its the only way my PC can recognize the device connected. I tried using the LG software again but i get this:
Hard reset is said to be VolDown + Home + Power On yet it doesnt work, only gets to logo.
This is an unrooted phone that why i used LG-provided update software.
THe PC can detect the devices and installed drivers. The software can too, but this error is persistent.
A friend said something about disabling the LG modem in the device manager but i still get this error.
I have ADB which i used sometime ago with my HTC but the ADB says device not found.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
*** SOLVED
I dont know what exactly made it work but i did the following.
Disabled [not uninstall] all other devices installed by the phone except the LG Android Platform
- disable and restart. if uninstall is used windows will just install it again after restart. disable.
- may be a problem with my PC that it has difficulties connecting with the phone if the other child devices are on
Uninstalled the Update Software and Installed it again
This time i clicked Options > Update Recovery
- prompted for my Phone Model + SN or just the IMEI <- brainfart on my part shouldve seen this earlier
The software downloaded the exact same firmware V10H_00.kdz and installed it. Success!
Maybe there was something bad with the first one i downloaded being on WiMax connectivity.
I feel so stupid right now being unobservant and all...
Anyway thank you!
[Q] "Can not find USB port" & "Device tree not found". How to fix it? Alcatel OT-918.
And so I went to root my phone few months ago, I tried to install USB driver for my phone and got "Device tree not found", nevertheless I managed to flash a custom recovery using FlashTool and root it from there.
However, after several weeks, something went wrong and my phone went into soft-brick or boot-loop. I sent it to repair service and they said that all they did is updated the software (firmware most likely) as suggested by manufacturer, my mobile phone worked fine.
Now I want to root it due to lack of internal storage memory, however I can't flash a custom recovery to begin with, I get this "Can not find USB port" and my phone is fully charged, turned off and has no connection issues.
I'd like to know some alternative methods to rooting my Alcatel OT-918 or simply how to fix this error or just how do I downgrade my firmware to its rootable stage.
Thanks in advance!

Still no one to even attempt to help? Really? Come on... this just keeps on bugging me... the fact that for some reason I cannot root my phone anymore...
Such a great community! Really awesome that everyone is trying to help! Seriously?
I am desperate over here, this was posted many months ago, over 100 views and no one to even bother...
Hey guys. I've rooted a few phones before, but I've recently purchased this Posh Equal S700a phablet running Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat. However, I cannot root this device for anything in the world. I asked in the XDA assist forum and was directed to this subforum. I've searched around the internet and can barely find anything on the phone, let alone a proper rooting method for it. Does anyone know of a way to root this phone? So far I've tried:
iRoot
-----------
I've tried both the mobile APK and Windows application. The Windows application doesn't detect my phone, even though I have the drivers properly installed. Only USB_DIAG shows next to the picture of the iPod USB cable, but when I click the button to start the rooting, it says no phone is found. The mobile version of the app claims that the phone has been successfully rooted when I press the Root Now button, but the phone never actually roots. Sometimes I will get their version of the SuperUser app installed to my device, but after running a Root Checker app, it says that my phone still isn't rooted. As a matter fact, if I run the iRoot SuperUser app, it will even tell me that the phone isn't rooted and that I will need to run the iRoot application again to reroot the device (but this never works).
Kingo
---------
Kingo actually detects my device and gets to the rooting process. However, when I get to the fastboot menu, the phone will reset once more into the fastboot mode, then restart one last time to take me back to the homescreen. By that time, the Kingo pc app will say that the process has timed out and ask for an email address so that they can send the report to the developers.
Root Genius
---------------
Did 15 minutes of resetting and installing suspicious looking apps. I deleted them and ran a virus scan after the application failed. Anyway, the application kept saying that it successfully added files and was transferring the necessary root files to my phone, etc. Every 5-10%, the device would reset and keep attempting to do the same thing before ultimately quitting at around 80% and saying something along the lines of "Your phone is really tough, do you want to manually root?". From there I get directed to a site in Chinese.
Towel Root

Device not supported
FramaRoot

Device not supported
There was also another oneclick flash tool that I tried, but I can't remember the name of it right now. I will have to check when I get back to my Windows desktop. That app also hung early in the process as well after detecting the phone and identifying the basic info such as model number etc.
Did you ever figure this out?
I just go the S700A as a backup phone and would like to root it or upgrade to 5. Did you every figure it out?

somebody knows how update or find stock firm for this phone?
I rooted using Dr.fone, now I need a ROM - help XDA, please!
6/16/18: I had Dr.fone installed on myPC so I USB'd into my Posh Mobile Equal L700 and the app found it. It did give me choice of only a "Mediatek" or "Samsung" phone. I was brave and chose Mediatek. The app ran for awhile then showed Root Successful.
Just to check I downloaded RootChecker app from Google Play Store and it shows the phone is rooted. Also, Malwarebytes now keeps giving me the message it is rooted and may be unstable (Oh yippee, that makes me feel good....not.)
Now I am stuck at flashing a new ROM on this device and can't find one that works. Search on YouTube for ROM for Posh Mobile Equal L700 by Sheena Rodriguez - I am prevented from including the actual URL in this posting b/c I have not done 10 posts yet. However, every time I try it, (and apparently I am to download directly into my phone and not into my PC then use a USB to get it to work, but I'm trying that next, even though I have no idea if that is a real "thing"), it comes with a "blocker" page that tells me I need to "try" one of two apps and then the install will finish. That seems way off to me.
Does anyone out there have a reliable ROM to refer me to? I am absolutely raw new to this so I really need a "do this FIRST, second, etc." instructions.
P.S. - a tech from Posh Mobile just told me this phone is no longer supported, even though I'm still within my one-year warranty, and then when I questioned him further he told me Posh Mobile no longer exists. I think the phone itself has decent bones and could still have a lot of life in it, but it REALLY needs a new ROM....
Help!

Hi,
-A few months ago i installed kingroot and rooted my Wiko Bloom(MediaTek MT6589). A couple of days ago i tried to update the firmware and i forgot to unroot first. the result is a softbricked phone.
- When the phone tries to boot it gets to a point where i get android with exclamation "no command".
- Besides this, not always is the phone detected on windows, when its detected it shows up as usb descriptor failed.
I can enter recover, but if i try to update from sdcard it shows /mnt/sdcard/, when the real path should be /mnt/sdcard0/, and i cant change it.
- I installed android sdk and google usb drivers but windows wont let me use them because the phone is not properly detected.
- I dont know what else can i do, i even searched for a usb jig but it seems they only support samsung phones.
Can someone help me recover my phone? I believe i have to unroot it first and then install official firmware, but i have no info or idea on how to do it since adb tools cannot detect my phone.
Thank you so much

So I got a cheap android tablet and I wanted to root it. I was successful so I decided to install TWRP. I searched for my specific model and found an image on a german forum. I downloaded and flashed it and it got stuck in a reboot loop. So I looked at the image and it was for the QV1030. I tried to get it into recovery but couldn't. Many sources told me to hold Vol Up and Lock, and I tried this and more. Nothing would make it enter recovery mode. Then I read about SP Flash Tool and found the stock rom for the tablet and decided I would try to flash that. It kept coming up with an error, and every source online told me to format the flash except for the bootloader and then I could flash it. So I did. Now it doesn't show anything on screen, and SP Flash Tool comes up with error 6045. But it does show up in device manager under com ports as, "MediaTek USB Port" so I think I can still do something about it. I don't have any backups. I don't know what I'm doing. I require assistance please.
So I reflashed the entire backup and it come up with no error. The logo comes up and it plays the chime. The logo does this little shimmer effect and once it gets to this screen, it shimmers indefinitely. If I plug it in, it begins installing a driver and then stops part way through.

I left it for about 5 minutes and it finished the driver. I thought it froze but I was wrong. It shows up now on device manager under Portable Devices as, "MTP USB Device". I tried to see if it was listed as a device by ADB. It is not. Lets just say I've already learned a thing or two about this stuff. Good thing I did it on an 80 dollar chinese tablet and not my HTC One M9

I got it to work again mostly. So I realized that I wasn't flashing the whole backup. Some things didn't have a path and I had to set it manualy. Now it has CFW for some reason, but I reset it and it works now. The only thing is WiFi is not turning on. Any ideas about that?

I actually want to upgrade this from Android 4.2.2 to a more recent version. Do you guys have any ideas about that?
So I've come to the conclusion that while the device is no longer bricked, the current installation is written over the old one and things are conflicting. I know this because I looked through the cache and found filenames referring to apps I had installed before breaking it. So would the solution be to wipe the system partition and reflash the system.img so everything is fresh? Or does the problem lie elsewhere.
I formated the system partition, used SP Flasher to flash system.img and then did a factory reset. The issue has still not been solved. And now that I have done that, I don't have root access anymore. Framaroot says it was successful and I restart and check root explorer on ES File Explorer and it doesn't work.
I gained root access using a different method. However the WiFi still doesn't work. I think it may be that the mac address information was from the backup I flashed from the internet, and therefore doesn't match. I found a guide that tells me how to hex edit a file and put in my real mac address, but it's unavailable under wifi. I don't have the sticker on the back that says it either. How else can I find it?
Turns out the mac address can be anything. I used SN Write tool and an AB DB for my chipset and it still didn't solve the problem. I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help me?
I fixed the issue by grabbing a different backup from some russian website and flashing the system.img and secro.img to it. It now works fine 100%. Thanks
