[Q] Hoe to root Alcatel One Touch Fire - Firefox OS Q&A

Hello everyone.
My english is not so good, so forgive me if I make a mistake somewhere...
I am from Serbia, and I have Alcatel One Touch Fire mobile device that I have purchased from Telenor with postpaid agreement.
Version of Firefox OS on my device is Firefox OS 1.1.0.0-02009A that I installed as standard upgrade. After that, I have problem which is reflected in the inability of show me name of caller that I have in my Contact. So, I can never see the name of the person who called me, whether I have it or do not have the contacts, I see just phone number. That frustrate me very.
I've seen versions after 1.3 have a number of improvements, and I wanted a newer version of the OS to install, but do not know how.
I do not know if it's Telenor locked the phone and whether they can install the new version of the OS.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, hope you are still using the device, here is a post which might solve your problem, it shows how to upgrade the device to Firefox OS 2.5

Hi Don7tk,
I raised a corresponding questing here.
Unfortunately all links in/to your tutorial are not valid any more. Do you still own the ROM and driver files?

Do you mean reset WP7 from Mozart? You can go to Settings, About and reset there. All data will be erased.
Shamoon, can you provide any more details of you're problem? Like what sort of restart problem?
Is it restarting on it's own, or you can't restart/reset? Or what?
If you can let us know, we may be able to help, but as someone already said there isn't anyone currently working on this - probably because the Mozart connects mainly with Zune, which would need to be hacked... Which would have all sorts of implications :-/
Sent from my now unlocked 7 Mozart using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Please excuse my ignorance if I'm way off the mark here. But does WP7 read executable files like WM6? Because if it does, and as we can already access the Mozart's bootloader screen, it should be a short while before a haret-like (or haret itself) application is developed.
also could do with android
i have also just aquired a mozart and to be honest win7 isnt all its cracked up to be , android has so much more going for it :-D
not only Android but dual boot....Android and WP7 if possible....im getting bored at my Mozart WP7....its just like the Dumb IPHONE
Thanks guys
yeah m fedup of this phone... by the way i came over the problem i have by hard reseting the device.. manually

yh would be nice to dual boot wp7 n android cuz i like both of them.maybe we will get sumthing like that in the future
No you cannot install any version of Android, as the phone is already discontinued in some countries i don't think we are ever gonna have android running on Mozart.
shame we can not install android for Mozart

[SOLVED] Rooting Chinese Star I9100 2.3.6 (MTK6573)

I've had this inexpensive phone for about a month now, and the only reason I'd want root access is to install Titanium Backup or a firewall to freeze/block access to a certain Chinese Android Market app. The app in question sends out a notification to feature new Chinese apps everytime the phone is given internet access and there are no options to disable it within the app itself. And since it came with the phone, it cannot be uninstalled, and of course, it restarts immediately if stopped.
One-clicks do not work-- they all result in directory/permission errors. For example, superoneclick will hang on step 7 and doomlord's method would reboot the phone without making any changes.
It would seem my only resort would be to use a different ROM, but there are no ROMs for this phone. Of course there are methods using similar MTK 6573 phones which are usually just clones in different casings, but I've read that using non-specific ROMs will result in a brick as there are slight differences.
So how should I go about rooting this phone? What are the risks of using a non-specific ROM? Should I give up?

Maybe it isn't possible ;/
After pushing my Googling abilities to their upper limits, I finally found out how to root this phone. It turns out there was a Russian community that archives lots of information on Chinese phones (china-iphone.ru). I can't believe I managed to follow 35 pages of hints via Google Translate. It also turns out that the only way to root this phone is by flashing a recovery image, not by one-clicks. I was able to find a recovery image specific to this phone (STAR I9100) and everything worked out.
I was about to submit a guide on how I went about rooting it, but I can't share links. Oh well. I'm just glad I'll be able to finally be able to do something about the Chinese bloatware.

"doomlord's method would reboot the phone without making any changes."
just a tip: I experienced the same problem when i tried to root my i9001. The problem was, there were not the necessary files on my HDD after I extracted the doomlord's packet. I totally forgot about my virus protection, and because I blocked the notification from that program, the virus scanner automatically deleted the earlier mentioned files. That's why my phone was rebooted several times without making any changes using SuperOneClick and Doomlord too.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't use any real-time anti-virus because I browse the web and run untrusted programs in a sandboxed environment (and of course the one-clicks were ran outside of the sandbox). And I'm not sure which brand your phone is (or if it's even a China phone), but I know that some 2.3.6 China phones could be rooted using one-clicks and some of the same China phones have had 2.3.4 installed which can be rooted easily. It's just that the latest Chinese-branded STAR i9100 (at the time) came with 2.3.6 and could not make use of the one-clicks.
Xuxion,
I have a similar phone. Model number says HK-i9100. Weird thing though is that it says its running Android 4.1.1. Its a galaxy s2 clone running on MT6573.
Can you send me your guide? I would love to give it a try. Here's my email: [email protected]
The stock rom on here is just horrible.
Thanks.

It's probably different then. Even though they are clones based from the same phone, they are slightly different when it comes to the hardware positioning and features. For example, 9mm earphone jacks can be seen in different places and screen size varies between 4.1-4.3" even though they are based off the sgs2. There are even some with and without GPSs.
For those of you with different brands like the HDC or GT i9100, try browsing the china-phone.ru MTK65x3 forums. You might be in luck if it turns out there's a thread dedicated towards your specific model. I'd try to be more specific, but I can't post links due to insufficient forum privileges.

Hey man, was wondering if you have any idea about adding new languages or even another rom on this phone. "Stock" rom is horrible, and if there is a way to add a simple basic google stock rom on it, with no extra apps and with a slim launcher it would make this phone a bit faster.
Have to say, good screen tho.

ahhh thank you i searched for a similar thread but i guess it didnt show up cuz it says asian in the title instead of china
not trying to bump that other thread but the only thing that really tells me is that I'm probably SOL.
so my NEW question is. any possible way I could go about implementing the modem driver from the GT-i9308 into the GT-i9300 rom so I get the google play and full english capabilities without the bloatware in addition to the phone still working?
I'll take that as a no then?

You can root your phone just do not change the modem otherwise your phone will not work. There are several chinese forums (use chrome to translate) that have very easy instructions for rooting which will allow google play to be installed.
Same boat
I am in China and found myself in the same boat..... i hosed my system after mucking about with it ... first android phone ... i am presently putting together all the links and things i did to get mine de china mobilized and google working .. rooted and a custom ROM or two that work... i have a newer hardware version then most people ... most have hardware version 5.0 ... i have 6.0 .... first attempt at rooting was fine... after that i added a rom... backed up and used the same modem firmware .... phone would not get past the start up screen... but thank god i could still put into recovery mode and get back to the firmware screen.. so i knew it could be saved... so i went through the Chinese forums ... no one had the latest hardware version ... but a release of the "official samsung rom" was the reason my phone was the way it was .... so i found another "Official" rom .... as it turned out it put my phone back into a working order ... the other thing is i am using OSX .... i had to muck about with different version of various pieces of software to get it all done... like i said i am throwing together all the links and everything i did to get mine going ... many of these links will require some authentication to Chinese sites .. weibo qq etc ...
I will try to re share the software i have downloaded ..but i am not maintaining them so not sure how good an idea this is...but the links will help the other "whites" as the chinese describe us foreigners in their forums "so easy a white can do it" after translation....
I just wanted to thank those on XDA with their posts ..... they did help, with information that got me going in the right direction.... this is my first Android since a Telus Fascinate .. which i gave to one of my programers/friends on my architecture team to root... other then that a iphone user ... hard to really brick one of these phones if you do the common sense back ups and such...
Once again thank you... i will have a full break down of my adventure in a day or two.... back to my work.
Cheers
some instructions feel free to contact me i will try and help
I have a i9308 and any of the newer release of the "official firmware' messed up my start up and made it loop...
I installed this using Heimdall skipped the bootloader as it seems to fail in both odin and Heimdall on hardware build 6.00
I found the newest official rom bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6344702 ... sorry not enough posts to send out side links ... i under stand.
everything else worked fine.... after this and i was able to back and do the usual install of CWM ..... which failed using Heimdall ... again on the bootloader .... so using Odin it worked ... i used virtual box and Windows 7 ... with the latest Samsung drivers ....i had to create a specific interface for the Samsung in virtual box so the i9308 would mount with out conflict in windows .... i was then able to install CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 ...
Once rooted i started looking for a way to install google play and all the google services.
i installed this ROM anzhi_karben_samsung_i9308_V1.0 which had the google drivers i needed and was not full of to much other crap and worked well in english ... i found this here bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6198323 i used my Wiebo account to do this and was then able to download.
I got the google pack ..... well one that worked and after i checked everything did not have any malicious scripts that i could find ... bbs dot anzhi dot com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5401203 ... the zip file was gapps-ics-20120429-signed-4.0.4
i hope this helps some people Heimdall took a little after i figured out how to do this.... it was easy ... i have wiped it out a few times i nthe last week and tried different ROMs from the various Chinese boards ...some made very odd requests for SU access here and there ...i generally removed them after trying to find the offending script .... as i said so far the ones i am using have been pretty safe with little to no issues. I did go in and remove a lot of the preloaded China Mobile wares ...so far the phone is great ... i do fid the wifi signal sucks....
My first android i rooted myself ...see what happens after a drunk night in a taxi in Beijing and you lose your iPhone.... having fun.
S2 GT-I9308 Unlock
Hello
Someone gave me an I9308
I'm trying to use it with my French Sim Card. So i need to be able to unlock it.
I've been able to root and install custom firmware as described above.
I've tried to use GalaxySim Unlock application, but it says "Device not recognized"
I've tried to use the "trick" to unlock, but , the current firmware official version on the I9308 is 4.0.4, and with this version, "Network Unlock" is not working.
In order to try the trich with proper version :
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version for I9300, but it fails with modem
I've tried to install 4.1.1 version with modem.img from 4.0.4, it works but the phone is no more booting, it locks at "samsung" logo and vibrate one time pause one seconds, vibrates three times pause one seconds and again.
So two questions :
How to install a newer versions of android when no offcial version have yet been released ?
How to unlock the I9308 with 4.0.4 in it ?
Thanks.
It is the modem drivers that are the problem. China Mobile has not released a official upgrade yet. But I left instructions for rooting in my previous post.

old post late reply, i know but nvm that, anyway if anyone is still interested in this, here i have the right solution. recently i have been collecting some old Samsung phones, i managed to get hold of a Chinese 9308, as u know, all i9300 roms/twrp work on 9308, but can't detect SIM card/mobile network, however i found one version of the MIUI6 roms, so far so good, everything appear to work perfectly, has all languages, Google play services & framework most importantly, 3G works fine too. i will shortly provide links to the downloads.
Would you like please send the link for this MIUI ?

the problem is, i still have to upload them somewhere 1st, as one of the original links is no longer working and although the other one still is (there were two of them), but it was on baidu cloud, both, u need a baidu account to be able to dl stuff, i clearly remember i couldnt download them myself, and i wasnt able to create a baidu account either, but luckily i found someone who could & did download them for me and sent those files to me afterwards, so now we have to work out a way 4 me 2 send those files from my PC to other users out there.

Overmax OV-TB-09B 10" tablet

Hi everybody! I am looking for helping answers related to my newly purchased 10" internet tablet Overmax OV-TB-09B with 1.2 GHZ Cortex CPU running Android ICS 4.03.
The tablet is great, but it doesn't offer 3G and Bluetooth conectivity by itself. Therefore I am looking for a suitable compatible 3G USB modem, as well as a Bluetooth USB dongle with the associate ddrivers.
Therefore please can someone give me some recommendations? Thank you!

how is it? your tablet? i think the response for your problem is... you can buy a new phone with android os and you can turn tethering option on your phone and then your tablet see your phone as a hotspot wifi. Btw i saw that you are from Bucharest, im from Timisoara.

Thank you ozambaretzo, glad to hear that you are from Timisoara, very nice city with very nice people over there!
There is another more convenient work around consisting in using a 3G wifi modem (hot spot), I have tested it and it works. But I was looking for a true 3G USB modem that I find more conveneint for me.
Coming back to my initial question, I think I know now the right answer for it: it is not easily possible to use a 3G usb modem or usb buetooth dongle as long as the corresponding Android drivers are not incorporated in the kernel by the manufacturer.
Even more, in case somebody would like to cook its own ROM, the respective Android drivers are not available on the market at all.
Anyway, I am not at all familiar with Android, but I think I recall that I have installed printer drivers in Linux, I expect this to be similar in Android.
Why is it not possible to run an apk that is installing a driver in the OS as long as the tablet is rooted?
Could somebody please explain in general terms this problem with Android? Thank you!

Hi fecooo! Very interesting this Overmax of yours with JB!!! Are you sure that it is the same model as in this thread, i.e. OV-TB-09B?

Could you please post a picture of the screen showing your OS and kernel version? Or PM it to me, please.

Never heared of this "zhuodashi" program, it would be great to post a relevant link to it. Of course I can also google for it or do a search on this forum, but you know best what you are talking about.
Did this program also open-up your bootloader, any idea about that?
In my case, although the tablet was routed, the bootloader was blocked. In your case if the tablet was not rooted, than probably the bootloader is open, allowing you to install another ROM image, stock or customized, as you please.
Looking forward for your answers and then I will ask you about modems.

zhuodashi is only in chinese language, the only word what i can read, root (in english)
this program installs on your phone 2 apps, maybe spy, but i don't know... i only know that this method rooted my tab!
i don't know, how can i see if my tablet has open or locked BL.
i have a globetrotter hsxpa 3g modem (t-mobile, old...) and no luck, didnt recognised... (so i'm afraid i can't help you about modems...)
ZhuoDaShi-2.2.9-setup
this version, what I downloaded...
i don't know all abilities of the app, but really useful can be with a well-known (LG,samsung, etc...) android device! (custom roms, etc...)
stock image of this rom can be dl-ed from overmax.pl (but be careful, i don't know the difference between the two versions... except the accumulator, my tab has 4000mA)

Great, thank you for the answer.
For making almpst any modem run on the tablet you need to install PPP Widget application from the Google play market, but I have no idea if it runs with JB4.1. It does OK on the ICS4.03.
On your picture it looks like (I can't read it well on that picture) your model of Overmax is OV-TB-09C, correct? Does it have a rear video camera? I know from a Romanian forum that somebody has installed this C-model software on a B-model tablet and the rear camera doens't work, but the rest is OK.
On the B-model the battery is claimed to be of 6000mAh, but I don't know if this is true.
The B-model has no Bluetooth, how about your C-model?

After connecting the modem, give him like 20-30 sec to be recognized, then click in the middle of the ppp widget icon and a drop down window will open where you have to see the name of your modem and select it. Then you need to click on the Configure button just below the ppp widget icon and a specific confiration window will open up. Fill in the specific APN info of your provider, but take care where it says Access Point Name on the first line write the APN info (eg internet.vodafone.ro) and not the conventional name of the APN (e.g. Vodafone).
Good luck with it!
Please let us know the news on your progress!

About identifying the original manufacturer, I recall that I have once installed a while ago the wifi application called WiFi Key Recovery (free on the Google play), which was showing on the top line the type of my tablet:
Device: crane_a1002jhakai crane-a1002jhakai
Unfortunately, still I wasn't able to identify the true Chinese manufacturer.
You might want to try this on your tablet and share with us your findings.....

Hi fecooo, any progress in your endeavour to identify the original manufacturer?
I have been flashing the C-model software on my B-tablet and it's installing JB4.1.1. Unfortunately there are some differences: the rear camera is not working (wrong driver?) showing just stripes all over the picture, the task manager is missing completely and most of all the tablet is not rooted any more. Not that I couldn't root it thanks to your tip with zhuodashi, but I've reverted back to the original ICS 4.03, it's not that bad.
I am looking forward for a new release of Overmax, but in the past week they have removed any download from their website, I guess that they are preparing new software for upload. We'll see what will be coming up......Maybe also a hint towards the original manufacturer.....

hi!
sorry for the late answer :S
i give up, i cant identify :S
yes, i saw that they removed the updates, and uploaded some "new" versions... (these are the same from 18.12.2012 -.-' )
now i use JB with stable options, the only problem what i wanted to solve, the incompatibility in play store, but still no success
I tried "Allwinner mod" from play store, this change build.prop but i still can't install a single angry birds from store... annoying that we need to download almost everything from external source...
Have you tried to change build.prop to see more apps in play store?

Hi fecooo, soryy for my delay in answering you, I do not visit this site frequently.
As for my Overmax, it is running ICS 4.0.3, therefore I did not meet the problems that you are facing. But I did not know either about build.prop, so I will try to look into it one of these days...
Sorry for not being of much help.....

[Q] Some help with a chinese cellphone with Android

Greetings everyone, before I made this very first post on the forum I can assure that I used the search option. So this is my little problem. A friend of mine just bought a phone made in China with Android OS (sounds pretty stupid to me). The problem is that the menu contains several sections where the english language is not available, but only chinese.
The most important thing I would like to know is what softwares should I use to upgrade the phone to a better version with full English menu, it would be nice to have Romanian language too but the main issue is to get rid of the chinese thing. The phone is using Android 2.3.6, if anyone could help I could provide all the information about the software versions of the phone. Also I can post a picture or the phone name if this helps with something. Many thanks!
Hi The phone make and model would definitely help. I'm sure you can't be the only person that would need english on that device!
What's the name of the cell....and intalling a new custom rom will solve your problem
Using XDA premium through A5
Press thanks on help
MCT 666 is the name of the phone. Another phone that he just bought is a Daxian XY 100. To be honest I've never heard of them before.
Search for their custom rom
Using XDA premium through A5
Well I did but I couldn't find anything so this is why I'm asking for help. Would Cyanogen help me with this matter?
