Hello Everyone,
I am newly registered member so I'm still clueless about the site so pardon me for having a thread (that might be existing alreadt) also I have so many questions in mind.
My device which is O+8.92 Android phone has an issue where when playing games that involves multi touch there are times that two touch points will freeze as I observed this bug it goes off in 10seconds or once you turned off the screen and turn it on which isnt good when playing.
Another thing is I've came acrossed with the idea of custom ROMs so I know a bit of it but totally clueless how to apply it into this phone.
Now my questions are
-If I install a custom ROM for this device is there any risk of the phone that wont work anymore?
-Can I do the whole Custom ROM installation without PC?
-Can someone point me or send me a link on where to find a step-by-step guide about installing custom ROM?
I am really clueless towards this but as long as I have a detailed guide its easy for me to pick up things so thanks in advance and I appreciate it

As previously stated I am a complete noob when it comes to flashing android devices.
Here is the problem I am faced with: I recently rooted, and unlocked the bootloader on my atrix hd (ATT)
Since then I tried installing cm10.1 multiple times on the secondary "Rom slots" within the bootloader, without any success. So I finally decided to go for it and install cm10.1 in the "stock rom" slot, Prior to doing this I did a back-up using Rom manager. Aand now I seemingly can't even boot into recovery mode, every time I restart my device it simply goes to the cyanogenmod blue ring thingy and gets stuck! (I have left it for 15-20 mins thinking it might be some kind of installation process..) But apparently it's not and i've broken my smartphone lol. Anyway i'd really appreciate some help fixing this problem, a step-by step guide would probably work best..!!! I have both windows 8 and Ubuntu installed on my pc, just saying..Don't know if it's relevant information and may simplify fixing my problem...Thanks in advance guys and girls
i've even tried holding down all three physical buttons and it simply takes me back to the same screen!!!
you could try something like this:

.. and you are sure, that you can not enter the recovery menu??
official motorola guide, how to enter recovery menu:

.. adb could be your last possibility, if everything else fails, google it, you'll find many answer
Hello every one! Today im starting a little project , and this project starts with huuuge questions (for a big noob like me).
So, ive been rooting phones and tabs for me and my friends for a while, and so far nothing has showed up that I couldn't fix until now.
Asus MeMo pad FHD10, second one to root, it wont allow me to flash any recovery (and has none on board!) any system (and deleted the original) or OTA update it out! (cant create cache/update.zip), ending up in a cinderblock type bricking Mod Edit -Masked profanity removed
So I have come to the final conclusion after 8 hours of nonstop unbricking failing fun that I have to send it all to hell (except the kernel probably) and start over with stock android and new bootloader and recovery (everything but kernel basicaly).
My objective here is to pimp this tablet out by getting rid of all the bloat ware and have the latest android, so I can at least make the best of it
Now question time.. (I know this isn't q and a, but this is more like an assisted project here of modifying and unlocking this brick of a pad!)
is this the best thing to do?
can it be done? how???
risks?
NOTE: Im no programmer, hardly know how to use SDK (adb and fastboot), but im willing (and able!) to learn.... and have a fast computer if that helps....
so far everything needs a recovery to be installed, but my bootloader wont allow it, I keep trying to find a way to surpass it but nothing, help please.
I was wondering if I can put cyanogenmod onto my phone with twrp installed on it, if I can what one can I put on it as I have seen loads of different ones on here, I am new to the android world and rooted my phone a few weeks ago, ive only istalled a few things and was wondering if anyone can help me progress to the next level, ive hunted this place high and low and cant find the answers I am looking for but I know there out there somewhere, anyway with t.w.r.p. installed can I install cyanogenmod along side it or will that just be pointless, a silly question maybe but I honestly don't know, also would like to know about clockwork mod, my phone is a acer liquid v370, if anyone knows if there is a guide out there can you point me in the right direction thanks, if someone can either tell me were to find the answers or tell me it would be much appreciated, I did try to put clockwork mod onto my phone but the one I was trying to put on said I couldn't install it to my phone and told me to install twrp, but ive seen a few places saying you can have them both on the phone, but something is telling me that all three do exactly the same thing and it would be pointless having 2 of them together, but as I said I am new to android and probably totally wrong, all I need to know is whats the best for my device or just the best one and easiest to use, and wod they clash if they were 2 on my device at the same time or even pointless, sorry if ive been repeating myself here but I am trying to explain the best way what I am trying to accomplish, if anyone can help or show me were to get the help I need I will be greatful thanks again for your time.
Hiya
I have an Alcatel Onetouch Pop C1 4015D (and for the record, I'm never buying this brand or similar junk again). I just got it un-bricked after a few months thanks to the online USB firmware updater. It's currently in pretty much its factory-default state again, preinstalled crapware and all.
What I'd like to do is install a custom ROM on it, to have a clean system I can actually enjoy owning, e.g. AOSP (if that is what I think it is: the basic, clean Android system). The problem is that I'm getting a little overwhelmed with information, tutorials linking to more tutorials, tutorials linking to downloads for which I have to "complete a survey" and such (abort abort abort), 2 different tutorials for the same thing stating different ADB commands, a few outright scams, etc etc etc. There's tons of information out there, but 90% of it seems wrong, irrelevant, device-specific or otherwise unusable. I've already spent hours on this and still haven't gotten anywhere.
I'd be very grateful if someone actually reliable could walk me through the entire, correct process, please. :fingers-crossed:
I'm just going to write down the bits and pieces of info I already have:
I've already rooted it with Framaroot; no problems there, superuser works.
I've found this site that lists several ROMs, presumably specifically for the C1, including the standard ROM and a cleaned version: tinyurl dot com/o24wqoe. The AOSP one strikes my fancy and is on my SD card already.
The same site says I can just put the provided ROMs on my SD and install them as updates via stock recovery, but I highly doubt that because I read everywhere you specifically can't do that. Sounds like fake advice to me.
I'm told I'd need to unlock my bootloader, but once in fastboot/bootloader mode none of the offered fastboot unlock commands really do anything. The "..." appears in my console and then nothing.
I've tried installing TWRP and CWM recoveries, but you know, "your device is not supported". There's this video of a C1 with a custom recovery (watch?v=_TGgXIp3fWM) and the comments claim it's CTRecovery, but I can't even find anything about that. I already submitted requests for a fix for my device to twrp and cwm half a year ago before I bricked this thing, and one person promised he was gonna make a build for me, but nothing came from any of that.
I think that's just about all the useful things I can extract from this whole mess of information I have...
Please help me make sense of this overload of info and device-specific shenanigans, and walk me through what seems to be such a simple process for everyone with a mainstream device?
For the record, I'm back down to barely being up-to-date on what is what anymore. I'm more than familiar enough with the theoretical side (bootloaders, partitions, bios, etc) because of my heavy computer usage (professional programmer), but once I get into Android I'm just lost. All that fancy terminology nobody seems to bother to explain, things that are taken for granted but aren't really obvious (like a guy demonstrating the installation of a custom ROM, and only mentioning 10 minutes into the excessively long video that you need to install a custom this and custom that first), so many alternative methods for the same thing that have different dependencies (unlocking bootloader vs custom recovery), etc... I don't know anymore what's device-specific and what isn't, who is telling the truth, what a given tutorial is actually making me achieve in the end, etc. TL;DR I'm lost, I'm not stupid but I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about Android's subsystems anymore at this point.
wow u wrote a full post and u speaked for me as have the same problem
Custom recover
i have made a recovery for the 4015x
and got one of the roms to work
(and a fixed stock recovery)
there are 6 versions of this phone and at least two different partition tables that ive seen
but getting it back from softbrick id use the "mobile upgrade s 4.1.1" from the alcatel site
alcatel,mobiles,all mobiles, pop c1, support and on the right hand side down load the program and follow
this forces a stock rom back on the phone (no root and all data wiped)
im waighting on the mods to let me post links so i can host the roms and recoverys
but if you want to mess with the roms your self you can edit the partition tables and get the roms to install.
id use the app "diskinfo" to check what partitions your system and data etc etc are useing and chainge this in the roms.
hope this helped
p.s. if not i could poss look at editing the aosp rom for you and host if for a bit
just waighting on beeing able to post links :s
Alcatel onetouch c1 pop
MY PHONES flash light or led light comes on but it wont come on at all jus remains black wont start ....i tried restoring rom but ,it was useless ,well i used the upgrade tool and there wasnt the right models for my phone what should i do now .oh and also my phone has no stock rom from nowhere on google im so in need of getting back my phone .how can i fix a bricked or whatever phone its a alcatel one touch pop c1 4015a
What is the online USB firmware updater? Mine is also bricked
When I first began tinkering with phones and tablets and rooting, I did not fully grasp risks and the sensitivity of flashing ROMs.
I had attempted to flash a custom ROM on a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet from Verizon. It failed and soft-bricked. I am attempting to recover it now, flashing the stock ROM back on and restoring it to factory settings; with my new knowledge in this area I can now do it successfully.
But I do not know how to recovery a soft-bricked device and was wondering if anyone here could kindly give me a quick run-through with links to tools and the stock firmware. It seems no matter where I search the guides are scattered and vague and I do not feel right following them.
I simply need the necessary tools to interact and flash the stock ROM on this device. I'd need to do so through a computer as there is no interface on the tablet, just the LED lights and vibration that give it signs of life. If anyone knows where the tools/equipment is, I'd appreciate it. I just want to download and get this out of the way. Also, if anyone knows a solid guide for the tablet I would also appreciate it.
Thank you.
