Help with corrupted Alcatel 4060a - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I stumbled upon a problem with my Alcatel Ideal 4060A AT&T and i'm only posting this question here after spent hours researching this forum and googling with no luck so I'd appreciate any help.
So the problem began one morning, phone froze and after restarting it reboots normally but after about 20 seconds it starts a cascade of errors:
Unfortunately, Joy Launcher has stopped .. OK
I press OK
Unfortunately, Email has stopped.. OK
I press OK
Unfortunately, Browser has stopped.. OK
I press OK
Unfortunately, Exchange Services has stopped.. OK
i goes like this for all processes.
Process system isn't responding, DO you want to close it?
it's an endless loop and phone is unusable .
I tried hard resetting, restore to manufacture defaults with the holding power + volume up way, choose wipe data/factory reset . It says it is resetting to factory defaults, it goes through like normal but after the reset nothing changed. the installed apps are still there and so are the errors. even the factory restore is corrupted.
I also tried rebooting and using that 20 second window where the phone works normal and go to settings>Backup andReset, Facory data reset > reset phone . it's very odd it asks to set up a new password, I type any password and it goes to factory reset but nothing changes after the reset.
Now after researching I found out it's possible to try flashing the boot and restoring with factory img. tried without success because I can't root the phone.
Please let me know what I can do, other than using it as a paper weight.
Thank you

If I was you I would follow super guide for the Alcatel ideal, to get twrp, unless you already have it. Then , re install rom

[Q] Factory data reset freezes when rebooting

Hi!
Device: HTC flyer
My market will stopped working, it has been a week now - I wrote all about clear cache etc. but does not work - so last solution seems to be a factory data reset.
But under the factory data reset - the screen says: "rebooting" they flyer freezes and I can't do anything. After several times trying to turn the device off; it finally says program not responding and I can close the factory reset down. But that does not solve my problem. It must be doing something under the initial rebooting as eg. my notes in "notes" are gone.
The purpose for buying the device was for downloading books and use some of the programmes from market etc. but can't download anything. Updates cannot be downloaded neither.
It stats to download but it's downloading while saying " download unsuccessfull"
Hope someone can help
Try manually going into the bootloader. Hold down and power. Then reset from there
make sure to post questions in General as this is very blatantly the wrong subforum
try the reset as described above you will need to disable fast boot though first...

Jedi Mind Trick JB 6 issue

When i hold power button down reset phone, usually on accident in pocket but when it reboots. It gets stuck at loading screen progress bar 98% done wanna say and never goes to the next screen, will let sit for hour nothing, reboot phone sometimes get the samsung words and just stays their. Tried clear cache dalvik and reg. factory reset, fix permissions, still all same no proper boot. If restore from a backup works otherwise have reflash. Anyone have this issue before and is their a fix when happens so don't loose all texts and info in general.
Try nandroid manager @ playstore to retrieve texts & stuff

Android Tablet Won't Boot and Freezes During Factory Reset

Hi everybody, I have a problem and I don't know what to do, so I'm hoping I can get some help with this.
I bought a used cheap tablet off ebay a few months ago. It looked new and came with everything, but its always had software issues. It would be working fine then it would get infinite errors saying various android processes have stopped, it would automatically close apps when I tried to run them, and would prevent me from even changing the settings. This was a frequent problem which I solved by doing a factory reset. This was practically an everyday occurrence until I learned to clear the cache several times a day, which gave me probably around 5 to 7 days before I would have to reset it.
Well, the other day my tablet froze up and wasn't responding. I left it for a long time with no change. I turned it off and rebooted and was greeted by the infinite error problem. I turned it off and cleared the cache from the recovery menu. I tried to boot the tablet and it got stuck at the shiny android logo and won't go past that point. It won't boot into safe mode either.
I tried to do a factory reset like I've done countless times. As soon as I tell it to do the factory reset it says...
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
and.. it does nothing. It never finishes or gets past this point. Not knowing what to do I've turned it off and tried again, I've tried rebooting it but it still won't go past the android logo. I've tried just letting it sit while supposedly "formatting" but that didn't do any good either. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?
I've been trying to figure out how to fix it as I'm broke and can't just go buy another tablet. I'm assuming my only option at this point is to flash a rom, but does it need to be rooted in order to do that? Can I even flash a rom when the tablet won't even do a factory reset and format the data?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Encryption unsuccessful random! Need help. Galaxy S3 CM 12.1

Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.

Your phone couldn't start normally..

Anyone ever get the below? Notes: Phone was working fine ever since I got it. I got it close to when it came out. S9+ on Xfinity Mobile (Verizon). I run Nova Launcher. I haven't rebooted in a long time, so for some reason I decided to reboot. When I did so it says "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116". It finishes that and takes me to the below message. I've already tried step 1. No luck. I have not erased app data, but tried to get into safe mode using power and volume down button. That did not work.
I guess my only option is to try and Erase App Data?
Android Recovery
Your phone couldn't start normally. Some configuration data may be corrupt. Follow the instuctions below.
1. Try again Restart your phone. If your phone continues to be unable to start, go to the next step.
2. Erase app data Deleting app configuration data may allow your phone to start in Safe mode. Safe mode allows access to basic functions, so you can back up any important data stored on your phone. After backing up your data, a factory reset may be needed to get your phone to start normally.
3. Visit a service center If you don't want to erase your app data or your phone still doesn't start, visit a service center for assistance.
.. and on the very bottom says:
Reboot Recovery Cause is [system_server:8409 RecoverySystemRescueParty]#Support SINGLE-SKU
Block-Based OTA Supported API: 3
PS - The only thing I did today that was new was install a WWE Wrestling game, play it once, and uninstall it. Everything else was normal. Phone, text, notepad software, browse web, YouTube, etc.
So, I tried #2.. selected erase app data from the menu. Took a few seconds and rebooted. Did the "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116" again. Went right back to the Android Recovery screen.
This sucks because I NEED my phone for work. #1 - it's my alarm clock. #2 - they track when I log in and out and where I go with GPS. #3 - I call back to work during the day.
I can get into "Maintaince Boot Mode" and from there can try a Factory Reset which I am hoping I do not have to..
PSS - I tried to erase cache no luck. Tried to erase app data. No luck. Always comes backm to Android Recovery.
PSSS - Just did Vol Up + Bixby + Power. Went in to Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It's 12:45AM and I need to get to bed. I'm hoping this will at least fix it so I can wake up and get to work tomorrow.
So far it's doing something.. asked me a few questions.. I got past WiFi and it shut off. I didn't know I was low on power.
Sorry maybe I shouldn't have posted if I wasn't going to wait a bit (for an answer) before doing a factory reset. I paniced and factory reset.
Anyway, it's updating everything now. Then I can reinstall everything I need. I did lose all my phone number contacts.
