ALCATEL 4060A bricked phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried a recovery with TWRP, and the phone seems to be bricked now without any way of booting into download mode or recovery mode itself. It's like it has erased itself from my phone. Would that mean that it's hard bricked and unrecoverable?
The 4060a shows up in MOBILedit software, but I'm unable to authorize. I have tried other flashing softwares to complete the task, but none has recognized the phone on the usb port. I have all the necessary Qcom drivers installed, as well as, ADB drivers.
please give me a clue here
thanks in advance

You need a recovery specific to your device, provided you flashed it to the correct, i.e. recovery, partition.
thanks

The problem is that Window can not find my device. Sometimes it only appear as USB device and other times it doesn't recozniged at all. I tried updating ADB driver but that dont do any help...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1 try these.
also, "A. Install the drivers
1) Do not install the Samsung drivers or the pdanet drivers, or any other driver you come across. If you have, and you are SURE they are working properly, fine, leave them. Otherwise uninstall them if you are unsure;
2) Download the drivers from here;
3) Install the drivers. This step is the only part of the entire process that is not easy to explain, and may cause users some issues, depending on what drivers they had installed previously, what OS they are using, etc. etc. Bourne-nolonger has put together a very detailed step-by-step on how to install them. If you don't know how to install them, have a look at his post here. Note that the driver has to install twice: once when your device is booted normally (not required for this tutorial) with USB Debugging enabled in Settings, and once when your device is booted in fastboot (i.e., bootloader) mode (which is required for this tutorial). If you are using Windows 8, you will need to do this before installing the drivers."

USB is death!
hello again!,
I tried that and it does not work!
Computer can not even find my device.
When I plug in charger or USB cable,tab is light up and display iball logo and from there it stuck!
I mean it stuck forever!
What is APX mode?
Somehow when I press Menu and while still holding I pressed the power button simultaneously and my Computer Show "Unrecognized USB Device".
Please anyone help me. I dont even have the stock firmware to flash(if required) with!
Their Customer service is neglecting me and I'm really pisses!
Give me some light anyone
fastboot can not even open in my computer when I download and try to open! it said "can't find Winusbapi.dll"
while "winusbapi.dll" was in the same folder as the "fastboot.exe"!
I'm very new to this and it would be a great help if you can guide me to revive my only tablet!
After a little research, do you mean this recovery? [Not cwm at all] http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/35183-custom-recovery-for-c8a8m7/
Did you choose an option to flash it through partitions and storage menu? Did it allow you to back up your stock setup first (hopefully, if it is cwm-modeled)? If not, then I'm not sure I can help. Looks like your recovery is a recovery AND a kernel, packed into one [just leaned about this from a recent xda story]. I also found this: https://github.com/namko/midRecovery/downloads, with several other BETA versions. Maybe it would help you to google "iball slide". There is a stock 4.1.1 image on xda, which could also help. But overall, it looks like there is not much development for this device, and you should've researched the risks BEFORE tampering with your device!
p.s. I do not know what apx mode is. Also, is winusbapi.dll something that needs to be installed? Click it and see!
completely invisible to Computer.
Hi, can you show me the stock 4.1.1 image. I tried to find it but couldn't get it.
Please post a link here....
No, I did not flash with that modified recovery.
I'm. still amaze how a recovery.img can kill my tablet.
Im stuck in iBall logo. whenever I plug in tablet light up even if I switch it off before charging.
Window can only find my device as "Unknown USB Device ".
I updated ADB and still doesn't work.
I tried google and can not find anything other than piece by piece similarities.
all I want is to flash the stock recovery back!
I can not do it because my ADB is not recognizing my tablet!
I really appreciate your help though!

What ID "Unknown USB Device" in Device Manager?
I was wrong, it's an AOSP based rom; but it's a beta, and i will not recommend it, as it is probably quite far from stock. You didn't answer if that slate droid link is the recovery you took. That says it is not flashed, but rather externally booted.
This kind of recovery.img could kill a tablet in the following way: it looks as though these devices have both the kernel and the recovery together. [there's a recent xda article about a sony bootloader that addresses this.] If the kernel is bad, the device does not boot. Can you try a factory reset from your recovery's menu? So which recovery do you have, i.e. what does it say along the top?
can't see recovery menu

No, I did not flash with that recovery link you provided.
And I can not go beyond the "iBall" logo in the tab. So,no recovery menu. Also I tried all sort of Factory reset like "key" combination and "pinhole", none of them works!
can you help?

I am left with a dead phone now. can anyone please help me out and solve my problem. and please advise me step by step what to do next in order to get my phone working...please...

[Q] Help - Unbrick Pantech Sky A810

I have install pantech sky A810 recovery ported from another device, after wipe, I cannot mount any thing such as sdcard, data, cache, boot.
My device can run in fastboot, so I decide install older recovery that work on device before, but unlucky, kernel panic appear.
I try to upgrade factory firmware by access SW download, unfortunately my device only turn on logo, then it turn off, at that time, my PC appear Qualcomm HS-USB port. I think that my device already bricked. But I wonder why, what happened with my phone? Perhaps recovery lead to wrong partition table. If like that, any chance to re-partition it?
At the moment, I only access device by fastboot.

yeah, i have same problem with u. addition to, PC can not recognize my device
Do u have screen shot of bad Recovery, it is easy to understand what happenning with our device:crying:
send to China, JATG repair

Is there any way to fix this? No Usb-Debugging, Bootloop, etc...

Hello guys,
im starting to lose hope that my phone will ever get to work again. I tried flashing a rom via TWRP, which led into a bootloop. After that I tried flashing another version of TWRP, which let to the fact, that everytime I now press Power + Volume down it also gets into a bootloop and does not show up TWRP. After that I tried connecting it to my PC in Fastboot mode, but since no USB-Debugging is enabled and cant be enabled, it is also not working, even with Universal Adb drivers installed, windows does not recognize any device is connected... so my question is, if there is any hope left or my phone is just dead...
I really hope you can help me.

Thank you for your help. I was trying to do it with this mega unbrick guide, but at step 4 I connected it to my pc and the device manager didn't show up anything. Do I need to install any drivers before doing that or uninstall the adb drivers I previously installed?
Thank you
Finally it worked! The problem was the usb cable I was using!

Need help with softbrick!

Hello, guys.
Recently, I've tried to root a Cubot Power 4G following a guide I found online. I probably should have been more catious about it, cause now the phone is stuck on a bootloop. I tried to install a custom recovery to try and fix this, but as there was no official twrp for Cubot, I once again downloaded something that was probably shady. Thus, now the phone is stuck on bootloop, won't access recovery mode, is now turned off because battery gave out, but if I try to connect it to the pc, it will start to bootloop again. I cannot access adb, or at the least I don't know a way to, since it keeps bootlooping and I have no way to access a recovery mode(since there's no one, or at the least, if there is, it's faulty). What can I do here?
@Giordyman
Re-flash phone's Stock ROM by means od MTK Flash Tool. You have to install the Mediatek VCOM drivers before on your Windows computer, if not done yet.

I did! Or so I think... The moment I connect it to the pc, it starts bootlooping and so the pc cannot actually connect there
Bootloop is a situation where you cannot get into the "normal" Android system. Take note that as soon Android logo is shown on phone's display Android kernel got successfully initialized, ADB & Fastboot are ready.
