My Alcatel One Touch Smartphone is Bricked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried looking online for the stock rom but there is not alot of support for this device. It is a kinda cheap smartphone. I can access the revocery mode to install roms from my sd card but I can't find a working rom. I've searched the internet for 2 hours straight looking but I can't find anything. I really need help finding a compatible rom. My friend recommended my to you guy because he said you were very reliable. I love you. Please help me fix my phone I am very depressed. It's the first phone I've ever gotten. I bricked it by editing the build.prop file and the generic.kl file to disable the physical keys on my phone and enable the on screen keys if that makes sense. if you have any questions AT ALL feel free to ask. I love you guys, so please don't give up on me. I just want my phone back.
(I have a laptop, my phone, a USB cable and a micro sd card)
Again, it's an Alcatel One Touch Model: 5020n
The One Touch can also be appreviated to OT. My phone is also called an M'POP on the manufacturers site.
My phone looks exactly like this: http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/p...Touch-MPop.jpg

[Q] white screen htc diamond 2 t5388i clon chinese [help me]

Good
Searching the internet I came here to change the rom of my phone, use the hard reset and did not have any problem in the process, then asks me to restart the phone, restarted, and when a screen turns white and does not come out of it, no more than anything.
I'm a little desperate now, I know there is a high-value mobile but it cost me to raise the money to buy it, I hope you have a solution and can help me.
From already thank you very much
PS: sorry for my bad English, I am South American
Sounds like you flashed and incompatable ROM or didn't use hard_spl either way go over to the htc official website - click support find your device and it will list some stock ROMs download an official ROM using the S/N from underneath the battery - Make sure the battery has plenty of charge - plug into your PC and load the stock htc ROM file this should take you through all the standard ROM flash info and will then flash the stock ROM onto your device. Hopefully this will flash back to stock for you and no more white screen.
Good luck and let us know how it went

I think that what you say is only for original phone htc diamond 2, since according to official rom I read are for the real htc diamond 2.
The mine is not original, as it says is a Chinese clone t5388i, please follow the screen in white, would greatly appreciate if someone helps me out of this problem is quite afflicted.
Again sorry for my bad English
sorry missed the clone bit on your topic . I don't have a clone myself so no ideas if the hard reset works. Might be a good idea to post which ROM you flashed to it
good day
the mobile screen just stayed white and does not know how I can flash now, there will be someone who has been the same and have a solution? I appreciate it, I would be very helpful.
Greetings
HTC_NEW, please check this topic. It's dedicated to the clone phones (except the T5388++ who has it's own topic)
There is a tool called k3AID available who could help you. It's posted in that topic about 50 posts ago. I have a copy if you need it.
There is also another possibility to do a blind flash. This means the screen is not working but the phone can still be flashed. First thing is get the correct firmware for your phone because each time you flash the phone can get bricked / defect.
If my feedback helps you to solve your problem, please give me a thanks on the post.

tutorial on how to fix my phone with that program?
I enter the program is that you give to download mode and
then I get 'EU entry Not calibration mode! (Mode =
0x00) 'and then does nothing else, I hope I can
help, thanks from now!
hello
I finally entered the discharge mode and while carrying on the idt went for something to eat when I returned I showed up he was 100% complete, the phone went off and did not catch more! Does anyone know it could happen? Is there any way to restart?

@HTC_NEW: Did you do the following steps according to reeprich instructions? What was the end result?
I did read that you used the calibration menu but I expect that you should use the download firmware menu. Is that available? ( I had the software installed but my virus scanner complained that there is a virus in the tmp file...) What's more important if your phone does not work anymore... Please be aware that this is a possible virus.
Removing the battery for a couple of minutes can help for restarting the phone.

I have done the same thing with my t5388i clone from china.
I tryed to flah the ROM and now I have the white screen.
I used the SOLONOMI t5388i rom, and now it is BRICK - white screen.
Did you get your phone working back ?
Now i´m trying to use other ROM´s , but until now no success.

[Q] Bricked my phone?

So I had previously rooted my SGSII, and decided to try installing CM7 on it. I used CWM Recovery and ran it off the SD card, and everything appeared to work fine. I think I had a bad/not fully functioning CWM or something, as it didn't list an option to backup anything (I'm guessing because I flashed the stock kernel after rooting?) Anyway, it will no longer boot. I can access download mode, but Odin fails everytime I try to flash anything back on there. When I try to boot my phone, I just get a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" error.
EDIT: I just tried again as I was writing this, after rebooting, reinstalling my drivers and rebooting my computer. I was able to get the Firmware to flash properly in Odin. Now I have my phone booting and getting stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 splash screen... Doesn't seem to go any further than that though, unfortunately.
Any ideas what I can do? Is it possible that I need re-flash a bootloader or something ??
Any help would be supremely appreciated!
So I was just trying to re-install the Kernel, using the CF unsecured kernel, and it failed, but when I try to go into recovery mode, it looks as though it managed to install CWM Recovery. I have no idea what to do from here, and am sort of afraid to do anything for fear or bricking the phone completely...
I'm hoping someone out there knows how to fix this, I feel like such a tool
As long as you can get into download-mode, your phone isn't bricked.
If you switch from or to a TouchWiz-based ROM, you have to do a full-wipe in the recovery.

Go back to stock first via download mode via odin
Nah you're good. Similar thing happened to me at my first flashing attempt. Get your stock firmware from Intratech's thread, put the phone into download mode & flash the firmware via Odin.
Then maybe have another go at rooting the phone with the matching CFRoot kernel.

yes, if you can still go in download mode it's no so difficult..this "small brick" it's on of "Android things to do" once in your SGS2 life
Hi guys. I'm in a worst situation. As my phone after a failed ODIN downgrade from Android 2.3.6 to one stock kernel is completelly dead - it doesn't boot anymore - not even managed to put it back into download mode or revert to fact defaults (no keys, no lights not even battery charging displayed when pluged in) - tryed the USB jig also. Nothing worked.
The question is: Will Samsung manage to repair and how much will it cost - an average ammount offcourse. Because I guess it's out of the question to be considered a warranty issue. I guess it will be visible somebody have done smth to the ROM by a software approach....
This is the short story because I would bore you to discuss all the things I have been through - it was only my faoult out of stupidity
HELP!
I don't see why Samsung wouldn't fix it ? As to how much they'll charge you, I think you'll find that will vary from country to country (labour costs being variable, etc). No, I don't think you'll be able to have it repaired under warranty.
You might want to look at having it JTAG repaired by someone other than Samsung. This will possibly be cheaper than having Samsung repair it. Do a search on here/Google.

Thank you very much. I have searched alot to actually understand - unfortunatelly for me it will cost... I saw on youtube a JTAG in action right now (cannot post the link yet). I understand now it is the only way. I'll keep you posted guys. Tomorrow I'll go to service.
I'm sorry it's going to cost Alex. A difficult thing to happen, I know
Here's a link for a JTAG repairer in the US who is also a member here, tho I see you've already found one. I'm sure doing it this way will be cheaper/probably faster than having Samsung do the repair as well.

Thax. Funny thing is that this is exactly the thing I found - the same mobiletechvideos in US Now I allready have an ideea of how much should cost that. Hopefully I'll find a local GSM repair shop with the posibilitty to unbrick it cheep - or at least not much than 50USD - in local currency ofcource.
I'm still thinking if it is possible to use an ATMEL copy process - like in the old times for EEPROMS - I have done that in the past. In theory it might work but I will never do it - alredy scared about what happened to my beloved droid.
Thx again Mistah and have a gr8 day and a wonderfull new 2012!
Yeah I've seen a report or two on here from people who have used his service & have been happy. Must admit I found his page when thought I'd bricked my phone after my first flash attempt messed up. Yeah you might be able to get it done cheaper somewhere local, and that will mean less time without the phone for you without the phone in mail from you to the US & back again.
Let us know how you get on, your experience will be a good guide for people in future who have the same problems as you.
No probs man, happy to give you the little help I did. You too Alex Hope you have a great year & you get your phone back & working soon

Hello again. Solved right now. The service didn't charged me at all - I was kind of lucky after all. Unfortunately there are still some issues I have from the start. I'll keep on digging - software related.

Help, I'm Screwed.

hey all, as you know i was trying to port full sense for desire x dual sim community. ive already searched for custom ROM for desire x dual sim on that Chinese market community web site..no luck there wasn't any full jb sense ROM for dual sim dx.
so i ported it myself and to test it i borrowed dx dual sim from my friend.
so it goes like this. my friends dx dual sim was perfectly stock and n wasn't rooted. this morning i unlocked its boot-loader and it all went so well. within 5 min i unlocked the boot-loader and after that i flashed recovery which i founded in previous threads, it said that the recovery was specially made for desire x dual sim and was posted here on xda from that Chinese forums. anyways i flashed the recovery, it was miui using fast-boot and then i flashed superuser package and rooted the desire x dual sim. it was factory rested and it rebooted i saw superuser in the menu and i was quite happy. but then in order to flash the rom i ported, i had to change the recovery as the miui recovery wasn't taking backups. so i changed my recovery to twrp, made by nexus_prime in a few threads back. i flashed that recovery and everything was good till then. after that when i try taking backups from twrp recovery it says failed. i was sick of trying again and again but no luck, then twrp recovery suggested that i should install super su in order to gain root. i said ok install it and then my device rebooted. i saw super su app there and also not to forget i was already having super user installed cause i was rooted. the super su app wasn't working it said updating binary and then it said failed. i uninstalled it thinking its not gonna work for me. after i uninstalled it, i rebooted my deice to fast-boot in order to change my recovery back to miui.
i powered desire x dual sim off and then boom, **** my damn device is not turning on now, ive already tried looking for solution online and ive already tried changing battery and pulling them off and on but no luck damn it. when connected it shows orange led and then cpu vibrates like 5 times every 3 hours later. it doesn't boot neither it gets into boot-loader.
some body please tell me soon what wrong i did and what am i suppose to do now? and some one (@xpirit) said that desire x dual sim cannot be bricked if its s -on.
what should i do now. ill be in big trouble if my friends find out what happned to his device.
someone pls help me out ASAP.
thank you
Let it charge peacefully for an hour

not a battery issue
please i respect youre help but ive already said i aint a battery or charging problem, its annoying to see that kind of solutions - pull battery out, let it charge or unplug and plug it ..etc . all these are really not helping, i think my boot loader or something like that is erased and thats why its happening. i want a fix to the solution, any help is always appreciated, except the stupid battery or charging things.
thanks
lol, you dont even know half of what you are talking about.... you tried to port roms, before even learning rooting and flashing basics, and you tell him his solution is stupid?
Its true, you cant mess up the boot-loader so easily.... its just that you have tried to flash SU binary from TWRP, which is not good.... just boot to recovery, flash a superuser-arm-xyz.zip avaialable on androidsu.com or something, then you will get it booting. Otherwise, if you have mistakenly wiped system partition, then you are out of luck and you will have to take another desire x, root it, take backup, copy it to sdcard and then use it restore system on this phone.
Next time, read read and read more before this kind of experiments.

Yasir
PLEASE, TRY.. to read carefully sir.
i said desire x t328w is completely dead, DEAD. i cant get into recovery not even into boatloadER. nothing happens when i press power button or try to go to the boot loader. its like it has no life. only sign of life it shows is when it is connected to the charger, the orange led lits up and hence and that only thing which changes in this device.
please, if i could go to the recovery id solved this issue by my self rather than troubling you all. ive been searchinh for this kind of problem over the internet some says it cant be repaired by flashing or etc.. some says cpu is faulty etc. i dont know what wrong i did.
also i didnt flash super user via twrp
i flashed it via miui recovery
IN NO WAY I DIS RESPECT ANY DEVELOPER OR ANY USER. I'M ALREADY IN A MESS WANT A GOOD SOLUTION WHICH SHOULD WORK, RATHER THAN CHARGE YOUR DEVICE OR REPLACE THE BATTERY OR ETC.

Hmm Yep your Screwed... Looks like it's time to Buy Your Mate a New DesireX
yes, BUY A NEW PHONE (See, i didn't advise to charge battery or something.)
OnTopic:
I happened to have the same issue once on my desire bravo.... and guess what solution fixed it???? (CHARGING IT) coz its battery was SO LOW, whenever i tried to power up, it flashed leds.
Calm down and think, also can you post what you have tried ? Did you let it finish charging ? Tried plugging into pc ? Etc etc, might have to lend your mate your phone ps wtf you testing stuff on your mates phone for ? Best to use your own, if yours is the same take a backup 1st, also dont bother trying recovery go for bootloader 1st once you can get into that rest will be easier, worst case senario you will have to pay someone to fix

Thanks for your sensible answer mate. But I'm afraid you don't know maybe that i cannot access boot loader nor does my phone says a single word. Also I've being charging it for more then 10 hours. Nothing happens when connected to PC. worthless. I'm screwed and i learned a lesson that never to mess around with someone else device even if other says it 'cannot be bricked'.
Thank you all who help and also who really put me this situation.
btw now his desire x is resting at HTC, i don't know what will they say as for now i told them nothing about rooting and all other stuff i tired..

It is common problem with this phone.
Simple cure - pull out the battery and let the phone stay without charger and battery during an hour or two.
Then it will be OK again, but until next power off.
I think the problem is in custom recovery. I have the same problem with friend's phone. But it's working well without power off, so I don't want to mess with it again
Disconnect Phone from charger.
Press the Power button.
Connect the Charger while the button is pressed. Phone should start.
I've done it several times now, main reason being, battery was not having any charge.
Never mind guys it was the motherboard which was really screwed. I don't know what really caused it but the only thing I'm aware of right now is that it'll cost a lot

Yeah they're extortionate prices for HTC's, in the past I've just scrapped phones instead of getting them repaired when they have motherboard or problem relating to charger port.

ZTE V975 - stuck on start up screen

Hi guys,
I'm completely new to modding so bear with me. I bought a ZTE V975 from China, everything was going well until the start up screen got stuck in a loop.
I thought everything would be fine if I entered recovery mode but turns out it's all in Chinese and I've no idea how to sort it out. So any ideas what any of this stuff means and how I might sort the problem out? I assume I need to first root the device, then flash a new rom to it using the micro sd card slot?
Recovery mode looks like this,
s15.postimg.org/o09yxeumj/20140123_165156.jpg
Must admit, reasonable specs for the price but terrible build quality if I'm honest.

Hi guys,
Seems it is Media Tek afterall. An MTK MT6589. I did a benchmark test and discovered this. Also it's a ZTE v975s but all I can find online is a ZTE Geek V975s which uses an atom cpu rather than the quad core one in this device.

Pendo Pad 7" PNDP51M7 firmware help.

Recently rooted my tablet using Kingoroot, succesfully rooted the device but like many others on the next reboot have gotten stuck in infinite boot screen.
Factory resets have not fixed it so I am trying to source the firmware for it so I can reflash it. Seems to be a rebranded Allwinner device.

boot screen gives the number A33_D71C_U712HB2C_PG.1508101.20150902 which is how I discovered it's an allwinner A33 device.
I have searched for firmware myself, but all the A33 firmware collections I have found so far do not seem to have this device listed
Any help in sourcing the correct software I need would be massively appreciated. I have contacted Pendo to see if they can help with the neccesary files, but am yet to hear back from them.
Thanks.
If it helps.
I have another of these tablets that I could possibly rip what is needed from if it is possible. Although I have read around some backups can only be used on the device they were made on.
Hey
I also have a pendopad 7 with 5.1 lollypop.
A33 quadcore 1gb ram and 1024 x 768 res i think.
I have a similar bootloop after kingroot.
My systemui.apk crashes and it just stays there forever.
Mine is black though .
PNDP51M7BLK
I have contacted pendopad and they say send it back and claim insurance .
I am in europe and cant afford to send it back
Just not worth it
Lol , I think we have similar problem here mate .
Okay , here is the update.
I have tried 50 plus firmwares for A33 and just got to one which is 4,4 and touchscreen is offsett by a big margin. Touch is not in sync. So the hunt continues. Is there a way where we can know what mainboard we have then perhaps may be can find one. I think its by inet so any a33 inet firmwares might be worth a try.

Thanks for replying, got the same reply from Pendo. Send it in, but no longer under warranty (rooting would of voided it anyway if it was) and even though I am in Australia where Pendo is located be faster and cheaper to buy another tablet.
I have been able to find this which lists all the hardware:
specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=d476-7462-0033-c5870033c587
Says the mainboard is EXDROID
And yeah I need to get Android 5 or higher on it as I use, or did use, this tablet to fly my quadcopter and its software is not compatible with anything lower.
Frustrating as the tablet itself is fine it's just the OS that seems buggered, thank you very much Kingoroot
While it sucks to have the issue it is good to see someone else have it and reply. Was beginning to think I'd find no help on this site. I have had no luck at all getting a fix, here's hoping you fare better.
I do have one possible solution Max, I do have here the same tablet, one that works. I could, if it is possible, dump the firmware from that? If you know how I will do it and give you a copy to use also.
This is how my recovery looks like with a hit and try firmware. Just the touch is offset and its on 4.4. Thought its exdroid
Can I have a look at ur recovery just in case.
You access it by pressing n holding volume down button and power it on.
:silly:
On phoenix pc suite ...
Irrelevant Info. Found better ROM.
Edited these posts as I have found a 5.1.1 rom that seems to be the perfect fit. looks and behaves like pendo's in every way minus the bloat.
It was a pain to get off the japanese site I found it on so uploading it atm and will link it here for easier downloading for you.
File is: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2crtz..._Play_store-A33_D71C_U712HB2C_PG.20151120.rar
Enjoy
ok, seems to register the battery as low charge, and also shows the battery draining rapidly even though I believe it should have enough charge.
Wifi, touch screen, sound. All seem to be working ok. sounds a little quiet. Says there is an update but won't do it unless I can get my battery to register over 30% charged.....even if the tablets plugged into my pc or power point.
Really need to find if it is possible to do a rom dump on this other tablet I have without rooting it. I am worried about bricking it like I have this one if I do a root to dump it.
True say man true say.
We f*** it up first time when we tried to root and put twrp.
What we can do is
Experiment with root and twrp on the one thats already messed up and once we know everything that works , we put it on the factory one
Dump it and install one the other one (i.e the messed one )
I will give the rom you provided a try and provide feedback on that.
I was just going to dump this tab. But oh well i live in sweden now and all of a sudden I care a lot about environment :angel:
Cheers mate . miss the wierd aussie timings

I can confirm the roms works absolutely flawless. Everything works perfect. Camera is inverted but I can live with it
Now if we find one root and twrp method , all would be sorted for this tablet:good::good:
I am still amazed how you found out this rom. I have searched every possible website and forum but all in vain .. Kudoos to you man .
How to flash
Hi Guys,
what did you use to try and flash this tablet? I have it showing up as connected in the intel platform flash tool but cannot load the rom into that.
And ADB says no devices found.
Note my pad does nothing, no screens, all I get is the Intel USB flash thing show up in device manager when I plug it in to my pc.
Sirs might I offer you dragonfave firmware edit to modify firmware?
How to flash it
@max414 how did you flash the firmware in mate? I've tried update from SD card in recovery but get a error 5 seconds into the system update screen

Cheers mate. Pendo is in the bin, end up buying a Samsung galaxy tab a to mess around with. Not a big fan of all winner anymore lol
I am having the same boot looping issue on my girly purple pendo. I downloaded the rom that was further up the thread but being a noob at this I have no idea how to get the rom from my pc to the tablet so if someone could point me in the right direction or tell me how to do this it would be greatly appreciated
