Alcatel Ideal (4060a) Custom ROM install? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. Im trying to install a custom ROM for Android. I have an Alcatel Ideal, and I want to install something like Marshmallow or Nougat. At the moment I'm on Lollipop. How can I do that? Also, another question. What is TWRP and what does it do?
Thanks,
Kingstevenrules.

Well it shows you didn't do much research. You can't just flash any Android device. You have have to find out if the bootloader is unlocked. Very few devices can be flashed and updated like that and most of the low tier devices can't be at all.

In my case, "All you have to do is unlock developer options on Alcatel Idea", not working. I am unable to unlock OEM, but that not a problem, since I got root, I am good.

Look guys, just because the guy is unfamiliar with how the forums work does Not give you the right to call him an "idiot"! Chill out and point the guy in the right direction. It takes the same amount of your time either way

@Kingstevenrules Marshmallow or Nougat is not available for this cheap phone. TWRP is recovery tool, it help when your phone becomes upset.

Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon (Straight Talk ) root, or where to start to build a root

Hello XDA, I have recently bought a Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon on Straight Talk. Ive been searching the internet for a root, custom recovery, and ROMs but have had zero luck finding anything remotely close to this phone. None of those "all in one" root solutions work either. If anyone has any idea on how to get started with building a root for this phone or knows anyone that has, it would be great to hear from you. I figured someone out there would know something about this Alcatel phone but its not the model i'm working with. The only issue i see right now is that the recovery is locked down hard. The only choices you get are factory reset or wiping the partition and rebooting. No installs from adb or sdcard. So i'm assuming its a "locked recovery". That's about all i have to say if anyone wants to know more about this phone feel free to ask and il be glad to help and hopefully get somewhere with this!

Hi
Tusks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate place. Because there's no dedicated section for your device on XDA, and because this is also a fairly general question, we'll be moving it to the general Android q&a section here:

Thanks for starting this thread. This is a pretty decent phone and I've got Samsung Galaxy Note 3's, S4's and others to compare with. Considering how cheap tracfone is to use I think a lot more people will be shifting to these. With a Quad Core I think it's comparable to at least a Galaxy S3 if not a S4 in many aspects (camera is not as good as S4). Just got one of these myself after thinking a couple days ago that maybe Tracfone had finally added some Android phones with a little more 'Horsepower' than their previous couple. And there it was -- a Quad Core! I've tried a few things so far but no luck with root. Hoping some of the Master Guru's will take a look at this one.

Sorry for a late reply, ive been busy with schooling lately
I'm glad there is some type of base of users for this phone. i agree and hope some of the "masters" will start looking into this phone!
Launcher Layout
So, when i first got this phone, the stock SIMPLE launcher had to go. I tested for about 3 weeks and came across dodol launcher. So far its low ram and buttery smooth on this phone.
Here are some screenshots from how i have it set on my device.
Hopefully this will lead some people in to see how this phone handles and how it looks. Cheers!
Hi I've just bought this phone and am wanting to root it. Have tried all the rooting apk's on the net. Still no root. Does anyone else have this phone and would like to have it rooted? Or if there is a method could you please share. Thanks

Have Alcatel A846L
I have read the following post:
[TUTORIAL][GUIDE][HOW TO] Root Alcatel One Touch Pop S3 5050. This thread seemed closer to my type of phone.
I have rooted several phones previously however they were either one click or not much "programming". I really want root. I am concerned about the "testing procedure" to see if it worked. Can someone confirm that "testing procedure" to see if the root worked is correct?
I don't mean to insult anyone. I'm don't want to brick my phone, a second opinion is always helpful. Thank you so much for your help from a newbie on Alcatel Pop Icon A846L
I would like to root this phone as well. Unfortunately, I have yet to discover a method that works. Are there any updates as to the status of rooting the phone? Surely it isn't impossible.
anyone root this yet?
Still nothing?? Bummer

well then reboot not root
See ms there are a couple similar roots for the Alcatel line. Sadly my S3 is getting old & slow. This seems like a minimal replacement with a Quad Qualcomm cores, no Mtk (knockoff) junk. The bootloader directions are exactly the same too.

Hey guys, I've had temporary root access successfully many times on this device using kingroot and another quick root method that I've forgotten at this point, the problem is that I haven't found a proper method to unlock the bootloader on this device so the device does not hold root upon reboot
Try downloading kingoroot from kingoapp.com,i hope it works for you coz it works for me
Try using Kingo Root. I just tried it and it worked on the A846L
Re Alcatel pop star
Hello everyone. I have this phone for a while now and I can say it's a great phone. I have root with Kongo root and have installed one or two apps to go with the root. However, I'm not seeing anything about upgrading this phone via ROMs an so on. Any luck from anybody out there, cos it will be a great help

What version do you have? I have a 5022E, Really nothing all around the web just for 5022D a recovery and a custom rom based on zenfone go. I make a custom recovery ported and a rom ported too based on RR (wash completely interface with CM theme engine and other tweaks) and maybe more in the way, I didn`t upload cause don´t see many users of this specific model. Watch differences between 5022E (mt6580, 1GB ram, 8GB storage) and your model and tell me, maybe can help you

Thanks a lot I appreciate your response.
You are correct when you said there really nothing around the web just for 5022D.
I don't really see much difference between the 5022D and 5022E. I think your ported rom will work on mine too.
Or what do you think?
I'll give it a go. As I have downloaded the official firmware for my 5022D. Guidance is all I can say I need now.
Thanks again

[Help] TWRP On PPTV King 7s

Hello there, I bouth a pptv king 7s and recived it yesterday. I want to install/fastbook TWRP on it so i can pull the original framework from the phone and have a backup. I tried to fastboot the phone with the pptv king 7 TWRP that i found on this forum but it didn't work, i assume its because there is some difference between the 7 and 7s because the 7s has a 3d display.
now my question is. can some of you help me to manage to fastboot the phone so i can pull the original framework from it or does some one else have the original framework? i would like to install TWRP on it later and Xposed Framework.
If i try to install the pptv king 7 framework i will lose all my 3d apps and the 3d wont work and won't be calibrated.
I am willing to try almost everything. And is it possible to install some 3d deep settings like the htc evo 3d (i think?) had.
Thanks.
Edit: the phone is standard rom/firmware and rooted with Kingroot
Edit 2: I found the original Rom here -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o8RgrDS it is a really slow download and you need to download some 3rd part program. I will do it and re-upload it here for you guys! i will edit it later.
And to flash the phone you need this flashtool -> http://pan.baidu.com/s/1nuUqmIt i will download and re-upload it too!

This is excellent news, i have been searching for so long for this 7s firmware as i wish to convert my king 7 to a 3d version. They have spares on Banggood lcd screens and full housing, so was going to make this a my new project. Was just missing the firmware. So thank you very much
I also had Trouble flashing through sptool, and thought it was a problem with the mtk drivers as im using win 10, so i decided to flash twrp with flashify instead which worked a treat. Then did the normal flashing Su and Rom through twrp. Never used fastboot method, im quite new to flashing these chinese phones so i'm a bit cautious to try methods that im not to sure about.
I have cm13 on my king 7 now, but wish to convert it to the 3d version once my spares are ordered and are with me. But before i do this, do you think there's a possibility this would work? As the phones have physically the same hardware minus the 3d screen and firmware, so i shouldn't see why i couldn't work.

Yes, i think it would work, because its the same components except the 3d screen, the framework have a different driver that tells the phone what to do and when

I thank you for the links above, but i think that is just a bit to much for me, i don't want to make a mistake, especially as it's in a different language.
Wish it was a bit more simple than the method in the video. If you could get the Rom and share, i would be very grateful.

Thank you for the links you have provided. I managed to install the flyme Rom, but quickly uninstalled again. Rom insn't optimized for the king 7 and there's no support for the three main buttons For Android (Back, home and menu) its a big shame that most chinese phone manufacturers mainly use apple based os's which really makes me annoyed. I heard there's a patch on a Russian forum for the buttons issue. But i think i will just stick with Cm 13 for now.
What is this zip you have posted? Is this another Rom? If so, is it working ok? Curious to know before flashing...
And i have some mtk drivers installed, but they're not working for me so unable to use sptool to flash any official Roms. Just using Twrp atm which i prefer
If you can link me to some that actually work, i would be grateful.

Oh dear, it looks like you have a normal King 7 NOT a 7's, if you had a 7's version, you would have a 3D gallery and other 3D software within the phone. Also it states only KING 7 not KING 7s the build number says PP6000(2D) if it was a 7s with 3D it would say PP6000(3D)
I would contact the supplier and demand a refund or a partial refund, did you buy from Gearbest by any chance?? I was speaking to someone on HUKD forums regarding this exact same issue and he received a partial refund of just £20!
I would keep pushing for more, as they have sold you the wrong product which is very misleading. Check AliExpress.com for spares, they have a 3D replacement screen for sale as well as full spare housing to make the switch to a 3D model (If you wanted)
I have yet to find a tear down tutorial to follow before i try this myself
So it isn't a Rom you posted?
@ fleebleflam
Yes I bought it at gearbest, I asked them if it was a King 7S, it answered me Yes

Root for Cubot HAFURY UMAX?

I recently bought a HAFURY UMAX made by Cubot and i've been trying to find a way to root it and install a custom recovery. I've tried most of the methods that I could find on google like Kingroot, etc.
I haven't been able to find anything compatible because its a pretty obscure phone.
Any help would be awesome!
No information yet
I have been searching for this since my phone arrived and there's no clue about rotting it yet. Maybe installing another ROM but I'm not into cooking ROMs yet.
root software -- Cubot max <-> Hafury Umax
You can find a rooting software for Umax here. It woks on Max and Umax (URL is without :// for I am not allowed to submit URLs)- http guideroot.net/cubot-max-download-android-8-0-o-firmware-nougat-7

I also need root for this device. Is there any kind people who can port twrp? Any help would be most appreciated thanks

TWRP: https://www.needrom.com/category/cubot/max/
After flashing TWRP you could then install Magisk which will give you root.
Have you managed to unlock your bootloader (although it is not necessary to install TWRP using SP Flash Tool) ?
Thank you for your help however the link you posted is for a cubot Max and I need twrp for cubot hafury umax. I don't think the twrp would work for the umax? As I think they have different chips mine is MT6580 and the max is MT6753A
Tried every app for rooting with no success.
I have downloaded every app and program that claimed to root nougat devices (RootKHP too, but it's just a bad coded virus) and I haven't been lucky yet. I have also done the "manual method"(adb push and then moving those files to /system) but this phone it's not exploitable in that way either. Maybe, compilling TWRP and installing it is the key, but HAFURY doesn't give any help to do so (as usual). I sent them emails, asking for help because of the bugs and also asking for the ROM itself. No luck. They claim to be preparing an update or something that will be released in the official cubot forum... but in that forum there isn't any entry about this phone.
Looks like HAFURY will not give a damn and, probably, will shut down in a time. They KNOW that this phone works faulty ( touch-screen problems, Wi-Fi unstable), but they are not doing anything.
I will not buy another phone from them nor from a chinese manufacturer. I have learnt.
I will try to buy a One Plus One as soon as I have money.
I too sent an email asking about an update and this is the reply I received. Dear Sir/Madam,
Sorry there is no update in the near future, the schedule of it has not been connected, you can keep an eye on our forum, thanks!
So it looks like cubot don't care about there customers
There is an update ROM on cubot forum.
Now we have access to ROM an recovery maybe we cud compile twrp?
What I found so far about the Update
As Stumbag said a couple of days ago, Cubot released an update for the HAFURY UMAX. I downloaded it as soon as I found it and, first of all, don't expect nothing. The only change I noticed is the build name, everything else is like the older version. The Wifi is still unstable, the touchscreen still requires to lock and unlock for working fine when it doesn't detect the touches and still, no root for this phone. I searched for a way to root a ROM before installing it but no luck yet. Also, I extracted the system.img and I haven't found weird packages, as I said, there's nothing different from the older build. What I noticed is a weird file called "recovery_rootcheck.bin" allocated in /data/ that contains other 3 files but I cannot read them properly. Screenshots included:
The location of the file: //i.imgur.com/FW9VAKi.png
The code of the file: //i.imgur.com/mNSpCgW.png
I dumped the older ROM before installing the new, but I am not sure I have done it well but, anyway, I have the dump file.
I will keep searching a way to compile TWRP but I have zero experience on compilling so I don't think I will archieve it.
So, CUBOT has released the ROM as an Update.
Guys. I did it. I compied a TWRP Recovery for the HAFURY UMAX. It works but the stock recovery is being reinstalled after a reboot. Tomorrow I will fix it and I will write a tutorial for installing TWRP and a rooted ROM I did. It's slightly different from the stock ROM (I removed bloatware, deodexed every package, zipaligned, changed the bootanimation and a few more things for making the phone truly free). The ROM is being uploaded to my GDrive right now.
Expect a new Thread tomorrow about installing TWRP and this Custom ROM.
Well done nekuake ?
Could you point me in the right direction for the twrp? Thanks
It doesn't work yet.
It doesn't work. The TWRP I compiled doesn't recognize the phone's partitions. I'm waiting for the reply of HAFURY/CUBOT, because if they send me the device tree, it would be quite easy because I know what to do next.

They didn't give a damn. Now, I am working in other things (university and that stuff). As soon as I have time again, I will try to use another device tree and adapt it to this phone.
Also, you shouldn't have bought this phone. You will see a lot of bugs that WON'T be fixed. HAFURY/CUBOT have a ridiculous support.

They released the phone ROM while ago: forum[dot]cubot[dot]net/viewtopic.php?t=1495
You can extract the system.img and take a look inside the System partition.

If you did any progress please let me know if you manage to either use TWRP or Magisk, actually any root will be nice :good:
I've tried to use ported 6580 TWRP 3.1.1 and TWRP from Cubot Rainbow 2, it doesn't cause any bootloop but doesn't seems to work either
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/twrp-unofficial-custom-recovery-mt6580-t3505687
https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-3-1-0-jemmini/
Both use the same mediatech however, I have no ****ing idea how to boot in TWRP, I've tried the **cubot max (DO NOT TRY)** that used something else then MT6580 and it gave me a bootloop, soo whoever said Max equal with UMax **** him
I'm trying other TWRPs
Well, i haven't tried to compile TWRP again because Cubot/Hafury doesn't want to give me any of the files I requested (as I though). I will mirror the repo of OMNI and, well, pray a little the next time I try to compile it.
For the moment, I have tried to use any of the TWRPs there are in the Internet of similar phones. They haven't work. The phones I tried were Infinix Hot 5 and Infinix Hot 5 Lite. Please, people, try things like I'm doing and we will have TWRP and Root soon.
Hi IV tried doogee X5 and some others but haven't worked I will keep trying come on peeps we can do this

Switching from the original OS in an InFocus Vision 3.

Ok so I'm not quite sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm going ahead ahead with it.
I recently bought a phone from the company InFocus, their Vision 3 model. I'm not sure whether it's due to the phone's recent release, but I'm unable to find a way to unlock the bootloader or find a custom ROM that would work with this phone.
If anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it.
To summarize:
How do I go about unlocking the bootloader for this phone?
Where, if at all, can I find a custom ROM to flash onto the phone?
I really hope I find a way to change the OS, because their default version of Android is unbearable.
(The phone has an 18:9 display, which is uncommon. Would this affect the process in any way?
Thanks in advance!!
you will have to build one, learn how to dump the rom image followed by building a rom.

Hey, bro you can go to rom providers, since it is mediatek powered brain for unlocking you can do with a pc.Developing a custom rom for this bit difficult, but you get it.

Oppo Rx17 Neo Development - A waste of time?

Hi, i'm the owner of an Oppo Rx17 neo, and the phone is really nice: Fingerprint sensor under screen, 128gb ROM, 4gb RAM... Overall a good phone, but the only problem is Color OS. I buyed this phone because i didn't knew about Color OS (My bad). Now i'm stuck with this phone for at least two or three years, there's no other choice but keep it. Knowing this, i want to develop a custom ROM for this phone, even if i have to learn from scratch, because i don't know anything about Android Development. I'm a web developer (PHP, JavaScript, a little bit of python and C#), but i don't know where to start this journey, because for what someone told me on a Telegram group, i need a custom recovery (Like TWRP i guess?), but i couldn't find anything about it on google (I searched for it on english, i don't know anything about russian or chinesse, i guess that could've help me a lot).
So, getting to the point: Could you help me to understand how to compile TWRP for my phone, or in first place, how to know if i can even unlock the bootloader. I have installed custom ROMS before, on an Galaxy S5 and a nexus 5x, but nothing further.
Can i have some help?
Anyone? Still looking for recommendations on where to start with this.
