Alcatel One Touch Pop D5 5038X - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nobody have a link to download original ROM 4.4.2 build 01001 but with French language included.
I leave in Bulgaria and i have only Russian, english and bulgarian language in the original ROM.
I use the original alcatel update tool but the ROm downloaded is like this

I know this is 5 months old but I figure I haven't seen an answer anywhere so... with the last update to Windows 10 moving to Home Insider Preview build 10074 my Genymotion stopped functioning. I got it working again using the following steps:
1. Download VirtualBox version 4.3.12 from the archive site.
2. Uninstall whatever version you currently have.
3. Install 4.3.12 version.
4. Open it and then start Genymotion. (I am using 2.40)
5. I got the same engine error. Go in to Virtualbox and remove all the adapters under host-only networks (the main program preferences) except the first one. Edit it to have the correct IP and DHCP settings. Typically this:
IP Address/Subnet: 192.168.56.1/24
DHCP Server/Subnet: 192.168.56.100/24
Set the lower and upper ranges to .56.101 to .56.254
5. Start Genymotion again and bam it should start working. At least it did for me.

Modem
Advanced Task Manager
RELEASE #1:

####Install Instructions####
- Copy the andboot folder to the root of your SD
- Run Haret
- When haret is running hold the dpad middle button to enter the installation menu
- In the installation menu choose where to install (i use data and system on sd card partitions, its faster)
- Press Install System
- After the system is installed press quit and wait
The first boot is a little bit slow, there is no bootanimation in this built so dont worry if the screen turns black, just wait few minutes, after the first boot i recommend to reboot to speed up things.

Android uses your storage card. To go back to wimo you have restart you device.
When you want to update android: Download the files and over write the existing files.
Once installed Android, I can enter to Android, and Restart my device, I can go to my Windows mobile , So I want to Android again, How can I do? Need to install Andriod again????
does this work on the NEON?
Boot manager
I think there should be a boot manager.
ther IS a bootmanger:

Kernel Panic...
I had a kernel panic during the haret booting. then said..."Rebooting in 3 seconds..." then it freezed. Help.
@nik2208:
Do you have linux or programming experiences?
@rhombus:
I did not test it on the neon, just on my nike 20keys, you could try it and let me know.
@ebautista:
Do you use the zimage in my package? Try using another zimage, maybe the latest on the vogue project page works.
For the data connection i found that ppp is not invoked because i get an error that says that only root can run /bin/pppd, so maybe the data connection does not work becase pppd is not invoked, i will make some tries to check that.
@m0rph3us
both
Very good, i am working on the data problem, first of all pppd had permission problems so i fixed that, pppd is now called but it fail when it tries to create a pid file becase it says that the filesystems is read only... do you have icq or msn so we can se what we can do next?
@12432
i think this time is different: the installing procedure tells that the process is going to overwrite the rom..
the old android version used the storage card like a guest..not this one..
@12432:
Dont choose to install it on the nand, choose sdcard partition or image files... Android will be installed on the sdcard and winmo remains on the nand.
You did a great job man, got it running on my HTC Nike, and it performs better than other android ports ( looking to speed and connectivity ). The only downsides at the moment, is that i can't activate XT9 dictionary while writing a message, and the camera functionality ( every port had this for as far I know, so can't blaim you ).
So my question to you is, do you know any way to enable (Dutch) XT9 on this rom? I got the device running on Dutch language now, but in the dictionary-settings, there are no known words, whatsoever. Since I don't know if there is any way to browse my storage card ( didn't see any explorer or anything ), i can't install it like a cab or anything.
Would be cool if i could get it running, would make it a wonderfull android port
I have an old android 1.5 with data working, it can help you for the data on 2.1 ?
[email protected]
Ok guys, big step foward, i am connected succesfully to the internet, but dns does not work, this means:
- If i open the browser and type www.google.com no page is displayed
- If i open the browser and type the ip-adress of www.googl.com, the page is displayed
so there is just a little dns problem, maybe tomorrow i am able to solve it, even the 3g icon on the top is not displayed...
why am I not able to install the os?
after the choice "install" the procedure starts formatting..
then, and after a lot, a message tells
"can't umount /data: invalid arguments" and goes back to initial choice list..
After installation process when you are back in the list choose fix permissions,then back In the list choose quit than wait...after a few minutes Android. Should start

[Q] Lenovo ET960 ROM hack-Chinese to English Conversion?

Dear all,
As I write I have a Lenovo ET960 sitting on my desk, which is lying there for the last 2 weeks as I am unable to figure out how to change its menu language from Chinese to English. My uncle who was never able to use it gave it to me after all these years. It has WM2003SE (I think!), although I am sure the experts here will know all about it. I am very keen on fixing this issue, the trouble is I am novice in this area.
I have done some background research, but I still need some help from all you guys here. I have the the following requests.
1) I understand that there is no way to change the language of this phone as the OS is hard-coded in the Chinese ROM. One way is to hack this Chinese ROM and change it to English using a HEX-editor. An alternate way would be to use a third-party software to change the language, however I could not find one for WM2003. Once I hack the ROM and make the necessary changes, I should, in principle be able to install an upgrade to WM2003 (which I also do not have with me!).
To hack the Chinese ROM in ET960 and solve this issue I would need to know two things:
(a) Where to locate the ROM in this pocket PC using my desktop PC (via a USB cable connection)?
(b) I need a reference ET960 ROM (ET980 ROM may also work!) in English to compare the values to change accordingly.
(c) Finally, an upgrade to WM2003/WM2003SE (the firmware upgrade d/l link) and the upgrade method.
Now the trouble is I have never flashed a ROM before, so I need to know the steps. In addition I would also need to know the steps to the upgrade process.
I have managed to download the following softwares/tools which I think will help in the process, but I dont want to start the process until I get some feedback from you guys here.
(1)The lenovo.zip file _ftp: / / ftp.roverbook.com / RoverPC /Lenovo_ET960/
and the (2) ET960update.exe from gsmforum.ru, which can be used as an update tool for both Lenevo ET960 and ET980. I have also managed to download the upgrade instructions, but only in Chinese!. This is where my research ends. Now I request you guys to help me with the missing links to convert my ppc into English.
Thanks,
Jay
This Thai review (use Google Chrome and translate it to English) states the following:
Languages: Support English, Simplified Chinese, Tranditional Chinese Input but can not display Traditional Chinese character.​
The screenshots also show the phone is using English. It might be as simple as changing the system language in your MUI settings (in the registry: HKLM>MUI and change SysLang to 1033 Dec/0409 Hex...HKCU>MUI and change CurLang to 1033 Dec/0409 Hex).
Hi rete, Thanks for the reply. I have never edited the registry in a pda. Is there a special tool that I have to use for editing the registry? The ET960 I have with me has a interface similar to this _http:/ / video.pomoho.com/ent/762870.
As everything is in Chinese, I am unable to make head or tail of anything. Please guide me if possible. Cheers, Jay
I am getting back to my ET960 issue after a gap. I really want to make this device (which has a great design) usable, for which I will need to convert the user interface to English.
Rete, I made the registry changes you suggested but nothing changed. So I will need to to find an alternate solution.
The ET960 has WM2003SE (ROM version: S603 051229 which is not WWE). It displays all the system folders as well as some of the installed applications UIs in English. But most of it is in Chinese.
I installed an English localization software (Paragon Inc, LEng for WM6) which translated my ET960s interface completely to English. But, the ActiveSync stopped working and the system folders could not be accessed after the installation of LEng. This tells me that if I can replace the *.mui files from CHS to ENG in the ROM, I will get an English interface.
But the trouble is that I am new to all this and do not know where to start. So I request for some guidance.
The other option to make the device usable is to boot Android from a microSD card, but I could not find an Android version anywhere from my ET960 (which has similar hardware to MDA compact & Yakumo Omikron). Please advice.

[Q] EngelDroid EN1007M

I'd bought this WE a little box from Engel Axil with Android 2.3.
This box is powered by an ARM CORTEX (armv7) processor with 512Mo of RAM and 2Go stockage.
More info HERE.
I'd installed openssh and I can see the return of 'uname -a':
Code:
Linux localhost 2.6.34 V1.3.0-70-gee2481e(20120217.100957) armv7l GNU/Linux
A spanish community seem to have succeed to make a ICS release for it HERE, but they don't say anything about the procedure to install this.
Is there somebody here which will be able to explain me how to upgrade my Engeldroid ?
With 'busybox installer' and ssh terminal, I am able to get root access.
Now I try to set the default home launcher to something else than original spanish launcher....
I'm interested in this too!
The EngelDroid 1007M looks just like what I need, but I don't like that its software is in spanish.

Hello Guys,
I'm living in Spain myself and bought me one of these nifty boxes as well and started to fizzle around with it.
Here are my findings with it so far:
Android:
The box comes standard with Android 2.4.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I'm at work right now and can't remember correctly ) but can be upgraded to a 4.0.3 version that is made by Mygica.es.
The link to download the upgrade is indeed the link you've posted.
To install this upgrade you will need to download the zipfile, rename it to update.img and copy it to a clean SD Card.
Make sure that the Engeldroid is powered off and put the SD Card in the Engeldroid.
Than take something pointy and press and hold the reset button on the back (the smal little hole) and plug in the power connection to boot the Engeldroid in update mode. You can release the reset button when you see the restore-android-logo appearing on the screen.
The droid will now look for the update.img on the SD Card and start updating your box. There will be a random offset message but that is nothing to worry about and does not give any problems with the installation.
The first time after installing this new Android version the unit will take up to 15 minutes to boot it due to installing all settings and default apps from this custom rom.
The normal remote control with the keyboard on the back won't work anymore, but the motion controller will. It is highly advisable to connect a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or combination. Myself, I'm using a Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad combination which works flawless.
Another option for the Media Center tweakers would be to install Linux with XBMC on this.
It is nowhere comfirmed but that is how I am using my Engeldroid at the moment and it turned my droid box into a proper XBMC media center and Samba file server that shares all my movies from the connected disc on the network as well.
The install procedure is the almost the same as with the other ROMS, download, unpack the zipfile, make sure the file is called update.img, copy to the root of the SD Card, plug it in and reset the droid with the reset button hold.
The link for the specific build of XBMC Linux that is working with our droid I can't post here yet, but search on google for: Pivos XBMC-Linux Beta 100912 and you will find the Pivos forums with the release topic of this ROM.
Don't try the Android ROM from Pivos, it is not compatible with the Engeldroid EN1007M. No worries if you want to try it, it won't blow up our box but just won't install.
If you have any more specific questions, please ask or send me a message or email and I will get in touch with you.
Official update
There is an official update for this device to ICS 4 (site in spanish though)
engeldroid . com
Got to "Nueva ROM Android 4 ICS" --> "ROM Android 4 ICS" (I'd link it but I don't have 10 posts yet )

Greetings;
In first place If you've already checked your device language settings; and no Spanish language is installed; then i sugest you to Flash a new Stock or Custom Rom.
I would check first if samsung website has European or South America Firmware Roms.
If not:
(I've made a few searches around
I guess that this may help you:
1) Get this app on Google Play: "Set Locale"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEwNCwiY29tLmJydWNlLnNldGxvY2FsZSJd

Lenovo Vibe Z90-7 Hebrew support

Hi everyone.
I have recently bought the phone from Tinydeals.com in China.
Its data is: Android 5.0.2, Build No: VIBEUI_V2.5__1518_5.169.1_ST_Z90-7, Processor: 8Cores1.7GHz, RAM 3GB, Running memory: 32 GB.
In its ads it was specifically written that the phone is multilingual and supports also Hebrew.
When I got the phone I found contradictory data, as follows:
Tapping Settings > Language I found and chose Hebrew, no problem.
But, tapping on the built-in browser settings > country/languages I found only a list of 21 countries + "General". Israel was not mentioned in the list.
As a result i am stuck in the following situation:
1. I can surf the Internet through the built-in browser only to left-to-right languages websites.
2. Using Google Chrome ( downloaded from the Google appstore ) I am able to surf all websites including the Hebrew ones.
3. I cannot use Gmail, and other apps, as i see Gibberish instead of any Hebrew letter.
On top of it, the "phone" and "Chrome" icons are concealed within a "Files" folder, and cannot be shown independently on the screen.
Tinydeals suggested me to flash the ROM through the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lenovo-z90-7-vibe-shot-international-t3148018.
My questions are:
a. Should I follow the suggestion?
b. Is the ROM supporting the Hebrew language?
c. Can I restore the phone to its original state in case the flash fails?
d. How can I show the "Phone" and "Chrome" icons separately from the a.m. folder?
I will highly appreciate any help in solving this annoying situation.
Alex
