I was in the process of removing kingroot and installing supersu when my phone decided to reboot and now will not boot past the very first screen no matter how long I let it sit. I tried factory resetting it but that didn't change anything. I've searched high and low for firmware but have come up empty. Does anyone have stock firmware for the Alcatel Streak? Thanks.

Concur.
I had exactly the same problem. Alcatel Streak (40600) would not boot after I did KingRoot and superSu replacement.
There has been no activity on this or other Alcatel STREAK threads for some time, but for any members needing, I have a full stock ROM for the Cricket Alcatel STREAK (4060o), Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Any interested members please leave a comment and I will upload the ROM and post a download link.
i need the file for the streak 4060o

I understand your dilemma. My stock ROM and firmware are installable via TWRP, which I have ported over from the Alcatel IDEAL (4060a). Flashing a firmware to this device without using a custom recovery is problematic to say the least. QFIL/QPST does not seem to work, and true to their typical protocol, TCL seems to have disabled fastboot mode on the 4060o. I will research this matter some more to see if I can help. There are reports of forcing the device into a hard brick by corrupting the /sbl1 bootloader partition. As such, Qualcomm's EDL (9008) mode is enabled which will allow for an emergency firmware installation per firehose protocol via QPST. But again, I'll try and research this more. Also, if you don't mind, could you share the firmware you have please? It sounds like you have an official package which I have not been able to locate. My ROM and firmware are both self compiled. Thank you.

stock cricket Rom mm 6.0.1
@Viva La Android
...now let me tell you how this started to give you more info....I rooted with kingroot installed twrp for the 4060a with flashify and directly installed magisk 18 with twrp...somewhere in there i deleted king root...everything worked great..made a full back up through twrp..I had titanium backup installed deleated all the bloat and started on magisk mods..installed xposed as well...flashed viper4...well I got greedy and started trying to dirty flash pixie4 roms to get a higher os like oreo...fail fail fail...I had read in the forum not to tick fix permissions in TWRP but i did it anyway...never ending bootloop after that...i side loaded a custom rom for the 4060a ....hard brick...i guess thats when i was EDL mode because of the wrong bootloader...i tried to flash the cricket rom with qset\qfil and it would not work...then i flashed the stock 4060a and it worked...wouldn't boot past the splash screen...kinda weird though because the splash screen was split in half and reversed with a gap in the middle....ill figure out a way to screen shot later....but i was able to hook back into the pc and I have adb but unauthorized because the OS got factory wiped so no usb debugging...I do have fastboot access now...which is strange but since my oem unlock is not ticked in the OS every boot img recovery img or system img i try to flash acts all good then fail in fastboot....my realization is that I wiped my modem somewhere in there and it replaced it with a downgrade which forced the EDL mode...well I flashed wrong with the 4060a firmware so Im stuck is all I can figure...I cant get adb shell access either haven't tried
shell with ubuntu/python maybe i can get shell access to force feed super user and tick oem unlock for the bootloader...other than that Im stumped...Maybe DD commands and a good dump file to see where I stand...and as far as my TWRP backup goes..I got careless and deleated it when I formated my PC to remove all the crap Ive picked up trying to fix this mess off the MTK and GSM sites...
My main objective right now is to get my adb key authorized there has to be a way

Yeah I agree totally. If there was a way to enable the OEM Unlocking option from a shell environment, you would likely have total control of the device via fastboot protocol. Like you, I concur that there has to be a way. You have me perplexed enough to dig in and help find an answer. I have a working device and a bricked device, so I am free to experiment around on my brick using QFIL/QPST. I am impressed that you have been able to access fastboot. This is more progress than most people make, so congrats there. Nice work.
By the way @KtownJeff, if you need any partition dumps from my device, for example, /sbl1, /aboot, /rpm, /tz, etc., just let me know. Just a thought, but if you could push my /persist partition image to your device (my OEM Unlocking is enabled), I think your OEM Unlocking would tick enabled. I recall a Moto device where OEM Unlocking was enabled in a similar manner. @KtownJeff, if possible, please share a download link of the official firmware package to which you referred. I will be glad to share my self compiled firmware package and stock ROM. Thank you friend.

I actually stumbled on the fastboot accidentally!!...After I flashed the Stock 4060A firmware with the split up splash image I checked my driver to see if I was in qloader 9008 mode still and I saw the holy grail "Android Bootloader"...The phone screen didnt have anything showing on it like any moto mfastboot mode or like a samsung when hooked up to odin...just the frozen "half splash" Alcatel Logo..I had minimal adb/fastboot installed...I switched to the Android platform tools latest version and had better results...I had a lot of failures when it come down to recovery partition and system partition...I had some successes tho...Fastboot erase works but I dont know if thats standard and the OS reinstalls what I erased because of the lock..prob so just like no superuser access in ADB...I tried to re flash TWRP for like three days and gave up...I forgot to mention I have no stock recovery access.......Yes please I need a full phone dump of whatever you got... all the better..I might try shorting my board to get back to EDL so I can try flash the cricket 6.0.1 again...but I don't want to lose my fastboot access either....the 6040O aboot partion does not have fastboot... The Stock crickit 4060O rom link was posted earlier...I'm in the process of uploading to MEGA as we speak so here in a few I will post all my stuff for this phone...And please share yours as well...

There was one here on XDA. It was a TWRP flashable Android 5.1.1 stock ROM I believe. The OP of the ROM is no longer on XDA and it appears that the download links are dead. I'll try to find you a copy of the ROM though.

Oh thank you very much. I was in need of the 4060o official firmware package. I'm in debt to you. Thanks for all the extras as well! Nice. I will upload my stock partition dump of my 4060o and get that posted ASAP. Have you tried using an insecure boot image for ADB superuser (ADBD) access? If you want I can set my stock boot image insecure with ADBD and upload that as well.
I'm found a copy of a stock 5.1.1 ROM for the 4060a that is TWRP flashable. I'm uploading it to Mega File now. I'll post the link when completed. I fixed the installer on this ROM and rewrote the Edify script.
4060a Stock ROM
TWRP Flashable Zip
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
Build No. M5RUAR4
Root: SuperSU v2.82-SR5
Link: https://mega.nz/#!VEVUwaxB!sCsdYXPE-_ytsqKnXRJHhFLVLnn3jxCDY8bG7FP89nM
@KV2_URSS, if you have TWRP installed, this may unbrick your device.
Update: I dissected that ROM and discovered some syntax errors in the Edify script. I've rewritten the installer and fixed some bugs with the updater-script. I also just tested the ROM on my own 4060a and confirmed that it does work. I'll post the updated link to replace the other link in a few minutes.

Did you download from the updated link? The ROM from the old link was bootlooping my 4060a also. I fixed the installer script and when I tried it again it worked. On the new one, I added my username to the installer script and removed the original dev's name. Is this the one you tried? Also, did you do a full wipe before installing? (/system, /cache, Dalvik, format /data)

Ok. My guess is your boot chain may be corrupt. I'll write you an installer to try and fix it. I'm fixing some things on the 4060o ROM, so I'll write you an installer for your 4060a when I get ready to upload the other ROM. In the installer, I'll place some of the bootloader partitions from the firmware package to be installed on your device.

Ok friend. I'll expedite and get that done now. To clarify, you want a full partition dump of my 4060o, correct?
The partition dump files and MM stock ROM for 4060o are uploading now. @KtownJeff, I don't have the best signal tonight in terms of fast upload/download data speed, but the ROM and files you need are uploading and links will be posted here ASAP. For informational purposes, my partition dump is taken from a stock Android 6.0.1 Alcatel STREAK, Build No. A45UC50, Build Date: June 24, 2016; Security Patch Level June 1, 2016, Kernel Version: 3.10.49, and Baseband Version: MSM8909.12110.15W46. My ROM has been built from this firmware version as well.
Update: Link will be posted within the hour.
Consider one day you upset the devil and your phone is bricked by him, lets try to revive the phone from hell (at your own risk) :

Important tools links:
[TOOL] Huawei Multi-Tool v8 by Team MT by inside!out
TWRP Honor 7X img
Stage 1
Download from here everything you need for the procedure - Download Folder Link
I am testing it on my BND-L21 firmware from BND-AL10
Downloading firmware (from topic). Full firmware must be more than 1.5Gb, all smaller is just
OTA Updates to the system.
After that we must download Huawei-MultiTool (future MT) version 8.x.x (link topic)
and downloading custom recovery. We will use TWRP for Honor7x (link topic)
Last we must prepare OTG Cable, SD Card more than 4Gb. On first stage that's all.
Stage 2
Go to MT and reboot phone to Fastboot mode (while phone off, hold "Volume -" and power)
If you did all correctly, you will see in the down right side your number and "Fastboot".
Now go in MT to the Bootloader and check the status. If you have already unlocked, skip this.
If you have locked phone, you must have IMEI and Huawei account. (if not please unlock your bootloader via the Huawei site)
After that, go to Recovery menu and choose our TWRP image in "Custom recovery" section and
type "Recovery". IMPORTANT!!! DON'T FLASH ERECOVERY, I DON'T HAVE THIS IMAGE!!!
After flashing recovery, we must turn off our phone.
Now we must to prepare base system image. In archive we have UPDATE.ZIP file. extract this
file to custom folder and open "Unbrick" in MT and choose "extractor". Open our file in extractor
and click right mouse key on empty space, choose extract all... and choose custom folder to
extracting.
Go to the folder and copy file VENDOR.IMG to the SD-Card (or USB with OTG). Turn on your
device in Recovery mode (Volume + and power), choose Wipe and Wipe ALL partitions! After
doing this, go to Install and choose "Install img", go to the SD-Card, and install VENDOR.img to
VENDOR folder (Important!)
After installing reboot phone again to Fastboot mode and connect to PC.
Now we must download .zip update to your region. We need this for using LTE (4G) in your country + Localization.
After downloading open .zip archive with our CUST file. archive must be called update_BND-
YOUR-NUMBER_hw_YOUR- COUNTRY.zip
From this archive we must extract .img file from root folder. It can be called cust.img CUST.img
version.img etc.
if name different from CUST.img rename it and put to the extracted UPDATE.app folder.
Last Stage 3
In MT go to Unbrick, choose our unpacked system with our CUST file and we must have at least
4/5 checkbox. And just type "UNBRICK" and wait. NOTICE: at moment of extracting system.img
it will be about 10-15 minutes. It's not a freezing of PC)
After good installing in log you will see like "All ok" Just reboot phone and you will see low level
factory reset, or something else like formatting. After formatting phone will reboot to the system.
That's all
Flashing Gapps method coming soon...

there is a procedure used by EU users to completely revive the phone using the OTA but the procedure is too long which i haven't tried yet and is completely for users who have dead phones for now and yes obviously there is no official firmware available for Honor 7x but the user from an EU forum revived his phone so it is possible from the images.
though i made this thread for users who want to update their firmwares and not the procedure to flash a stock firmware since there is not one available yet but i can point to the thread where this user posted the procedure if someone wants to try. PM me

There are teams who have unlocked a lot of stuff like flashing international FW,
flashing gapps on chinese fw, Automatic Call Recording, restoring the phone.
so i am in contact with them to make our phone better. lets keep our fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
i am waiting for firmware flashing to get it translated from one of the users.
This is the full recovery package right? Atleast for the Indian version?

They arent recovery packages. they are full OTA which can be flashed for updating.
but there is a process to compile them into making them stock firmware packages but due to the long procedure i didnt post it here. rather wait for official stock firmware package.

Hello Honor 7X Users, turns out there is firmware available for flashing for the AL10 and L21 variants
but i haven't tried them out and can post the procedure if someone needs it but all credit goes to PRO-TEAMMT for releasing them for us so now if we mess up we got official firmware's latest available to go back to.
I personally haven't tested any but i soon will.

exactly what you want to do?
this is to update to the latest firmware. if you have the latest firmware you dont need it.
the multi tool is used to flash stock with a procedure which is only needed to return to stock or else theres no need for it for the most part..

1) ???
2) Not sure there is always a chance of bricking
3) Yes, if you don't know what you're doing. No if you're not going to be flashing anything.
4) You should be able to and also refer to #1.
5) None available
6) None available
7) You can't, no stock image released = no procedures to unbrick

3) Yes, if you don't know what you're doing. No if you're not going to be flashing anything.
4) You should be able to.
5) None available
6) None available
7) You can't, no stock image released = no procedures to unrbcik

1- can i upgrade the system at every update (when the device is rooted) with Firmware finder many times even if I don't recive the notification on the phone of the update (or if the device updater cannot find it)?
2-ok but if do all right steps you cannot brick the phone, no?
3-ok i only wanna unlock bootloader, flash twrp and root the phone. If I do all right steps there are no risks, no?
4-i don't understand it (in hisuite there s the option that says "Update device". With the device rooted can I update the phone with this software?)
5-ok but can I do one with a custom recovery, no?
6-ok so we just have to wait, no?
7-ok. Same thing of the - 6 (we have to wait for the UPDATE.APP for the 7x to be able to UNBRICK the phone in case it could happen, no?)
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for the answers?

1. yes you can if the app supported honor 7x with their firmware but it doesn't yet, use twrp
2. yes you can upgrade via flashing it in twrp
3. unlocking bootloader itself is dangerous let alone rooting since your waranty is gone since there is still no sign of official stock firmware
4. same as no. 1 ans
5. if u flashed twrp you can do your nandroid backup which can be later restored anytime so it will be obv on the phone at that time
6. manual or local update? in the op main post i guess? by opening the link?
7. Still no official firmware and the procedure i am aware of consists of turning the official chinese firmware into normal by changing settings and stuff which is a long procedure so probably if u brick, u r stuck until honor decides to release stock firmware
by the looks i guess you have no clue about phone flashing, its better you dont try anything until there are guides properly made for newbies. :silly:

I rooted my 7X(Al10) version successfully but while performing the reset, deleted the system file also by mistake. There is no TWRP backup. Is there any way to get the stock OS files again to flash in TWRP ? Or does anyone have a backup file they made that they can share? I tried Huawei e-recovery too, but that gets stuck at 'unable to get package info'. The people at the service centre can't think of any other method to restore the phone, except changing the motherboard. When is the official stock file expected to be available?

It's a zip file with 2 backup folder, one with boot and system and one with vendor

1. In the app firmware finder there are firmwares for the phone but how can I flash a official firmware (OTA I mean) if there are no one (or how can I flash a firmware finder Update)?
2. Same thing in -1 (I mean)
3. Ok. Now we have to wait the official stock firmware, no? (i don't understand this answer, please write it in another way)
4. I don't understand it
5. Okok (obv? Sorry I'm Italian hahaha)
6. It's not the same thing local or manual? Write it in another way please hahaha google translate doesnt help me?
7. Okok, So if I don't use your method I only have to wait that honor release the official stock firmware (UPDATE. APP). And for greater security it's better wait it before to root and unlock bootloader etc, no?
Anyway, I have an idea of what flashing is, in fact every device I have (they are all Samsung, so that's why I'm disoriented) is completely modified. The fact is that I dont have much experience (I'm 14 years old) with non-Samsung devices, in fact my honor 7x I received for Christmas and for the hurry and the want to modify it, I would like to know all these things.
Thank you

OK thanks I'll keep it aside in case of brick
I would recommend everyone to not do experiments over your phone to try and root and flash random stuff..
they only have official chinese firmware for flashing so its better to wait for the official firmware for non chinese version.
the method which i know of to flash on the phone is for people with flashing knowledge cz the procedure is not simple and secondly even i have been flashing my phone for many years on various devices yet i havent got the guts to root this first honor device cz their partitions are different and somewhat secured so dont play with it.
wait for the official firmware for your respective devices. maybe they will straightaway launch the oreo firmware.
I used HuRUpdater to flash firmware to my Honor 10 and after following the instructions and performing a full wipe data factory reset and rebooted, it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried everything to get into ERecovery or fastboot but nothing. I read that there's is no solution for unbricking 2018 Honor/Huawei devices. Even Funky Huawei doesn't work or Multi Tool.

Yesterday one user was able to succeed updating through [HuRUpdater] and one of my friend was also able to update to one build but it showed different device specs and the same build build you tried hard bricked his device. If my guess is right it is the build issue and not [HuRUpdater] issue.May be I am wrong ?

Its just a software issue and is covered in warranty.

I'm in the UK. I'm not exactly sure how bricking voids warranty but my guess would be because the end user is responsible for flashing various software to the device. I do remember seeing on the EMUI website that bootloader unlocking on devices after mid 2018 won't be eligible for bootloader unlocking due to so many hardware bricking cases.
I'm happy with my new OnePlus 6 though. I'll probably have to let go of the hope of recovering the Honor 10 even though I'm making a loss as I was gonna sell it.

Hello Guys,
I had exactly the same problem.
I upgraded to EMUI 9 and everything worked fine but I wanted to go back to EMUI 8.1 so I went to TWRP with the intention of doing a factory restoration and downgrade.
I made a Wipe / data, Wipe dalvic / format all data. After this I waited a lot and it didn´t respond.
I had to force the restart and since then the phone no longer works. Same for me, the phone has no recovery and no OS and no erecovery.
I have contacted the people from FunckyHuawei. I have paid 1 credit in order to unbrick the phone but it did not work. They said that; "It would need to be able to reach rescue recovery mode. If it can not reach that, it may be bricked beyond repair. "
Then I contacted another technician, I connected to my computer remotely and he tried to flash all necessary files via fastboot but some of them failed to flash.
He said it looks like there is no TWRP recovery COMPATIBLE for EMUI9 yet.
Now what to do guys? I will really apreciate any help. The phone has only 3 weeks and I feel so noob now.
Kind Regards,
Gerardo

Hello Max
I have flashed the update.zip using beta-downy_0.4 program
you have to transfer the 3 zip files update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public tp the "Zip-Here" Folder.
Then run the "Flash.bat" file and follow the instruction.
The update.zip will install the twrp recovery. Then I flashed the Kernel.img and system.img
after restar the phone was like new with EMUI9. However there are things that are not really well, such like the info in "about phone" is not showing the "compilation number" nor model number, also other options and functionalities has dissapeared but for the rest the phone works fine. At least you can recover the phone. I will do some more research today to fix those issues. I might have to reflash the whole system again.

In this case i would roll back on emui 8 to make sure that everything works and then go emui 9 by using hisuite 5.0.0.300 and change ip4 dns. Tht should work. I remember on huawei p9 it has to be with an earlier version to be able to pass some main things to the next firmware so you will jot have broken menus. That was upgrading ofc emui 6 to emui 7. I ssume though its something similar

My phone was hard bricked... Everybody said It couldn't be fixed..but I did! If course I suffered 4 days trying to revive it day and night..until I got it
When I proceed to flash an earlier version(downgrade) of stock rom, it get stuck on recovery.img in Odin and on the device it says "sw rev check fail bootloader device 2 binary 1" Tried flashing other earlier versions of stock roms even the latest but still getting that message and never get past recovery.img. Fortunately, the device still works when I boot it normally. How can I fix this? Wanted to try other roms because of oem not appearing even after 168hrs.

i am facing the same issue i did some googling on this matter & found out that our binary number is updated to U2 from U1 so in simple words boot loader is updated to u2 & you cannot flash it back to U1 so far my learning is this.if you want to try some other rom you will need to flash U2 only something like this G965FXXU2
Post a screenshot in download mode and i'll post you a link of your right firmware also recovery error may cause of usb port try to change usb port
Can we downgrade to U2 to U1 pls let me know

Now that you said it, all the firmwares I've downloaded got U1 in it. So I assume you also updated to the August patch?
I update to August patch that changed the binary to u2 udpated the boot loader so when u try to flash the same it will not downgrage u need to find u2 only in firmware... if there is a workaround if anyone can help it will be good

Yeah apparently this is a somewhat common issue for newer samsung devices (i think it started from the s6)
You can't downgrade anymore, the only way i ever got an older version to work was by flashing the bootloader from a combination firmware. Other than that sol.
Did u manage to downgrade with combination rom can u share your steps
My S9+ wont flash back to stock firmware (assuming because of the error above) any ideas how to fix this ?

Hello everyone!
I spent the last few days trying to flash a stock emui 9 or 9.1 version to my Mate20Pro (C432) because my carrier notified me, that the emui 10 update is officially available.
I was finally able to go to version . 347 by following this guide: click
A few hours later I was offered the emui 10 update and it installed well.
The exact build nr is now: 10.0.0.154(C432E7R1P5patch01)
Only thing left: Root access.
And here's where the problems start:
The Bootloader was relocked somewhere down the road (the update to .347 probably). Now, I've had this issue before, jumping back and forth between ROMs, but was always able to re-unlock my bootloader with my code I got from funkyhuawei (back in the days).
Now when I try to unlock it now, following this procedure:
- turn usb debugging on
- confirm to always trust my computer
- open console - adb devices: I see my device.
- adb reboot bootloader: reboots the phone gracefully
- reached fastboot mode - bootloader lock confirmed. frp locked: no
- in terminal: fastboot devices: check
- fastboot oem unlock xxxxx
--> here i get following output:
Failed. Invalid command.
Has anyone also had this issue? is this some kind of security mechanism (did they change the unlock code?) Or did they chamge the fastboot command set?
What I've checked so far:
- usb drivers are installed (reinstalled them even)
- hisuite is installed (also tried it with uninstalling first)
- terminal is running as admin
- tried different usb cables
- googling
I would really appreciate all thoughts, ideas or experiences with this issue.
Thanks in advance!
On EMUI10 (at least early builds), it's normal behavior.
It's seem that oem unlock's fastboot command was made invalid or was modified...
It's told rolling back to emui9 B346 or B347 will open bootloader back or at least will enable back fastboot and old oem unlock commands.
Does magisk creator @topjohnwu achieved something related to emui10 ?

Were you able to unlock bootloader or downgrade to 9.1 with locked bootloader or fix this issue by any means?
You can rollback to 9.1 using stock hisuite.
If rollback prompt is not shown, you can trigger it with 'Hisuite launcher' from Magnot.

thank you for the heads up about rooting and emui 10, i have been tempted to try it for myself but had to much to do at home and at work, but i will wait a bit more.
also: dload version will always lock the bootloader
I was able to install CUST and PRELOAD for lya-l09 emui 10 using dload method and it fixed the issue. Thank you.
Check oem option in developer settings.It must be enabled

I have funkyhuawei account but still that was unable fix the issue. So what i did was:
I choose 365 ver in funkyhuawei website and tried flashing it using modded hisuite. When it downloaded the firmware i replaced the 365 firmware files like CUST AND PRELOAD with EMUI 10 version, it failed at the beginning. I keep on retrying multiple times and final it flashed CUST and PRELOAD and my system booted with EMUI 10 .

Do you have the link or if you could upload please the modded hisuite? Appreciate it.
EDIT
So in the dload folder, you used the main update zip from the 9.1 (365) and the custom and preload zips from emui 10? Thanks. (asking also since you say you booted in emui 10 even though from what you have described you seem to have had the main update zip in 9.1...or was it the other way around?)
(I tried-though on mate 20x and the software installation failed-restart-so is that what you tried many times? (in the erecovery update through card/otg option?)
Highly appreciate your clarification here (might just help me get out of this emui10 mess)

Modded hisuite only work, if you have funkyhuawei account and required credits for that account.
Yes, thats correct i used main update.zip is from 9.1 and custom and preload are from emui 10.
Currently your mobile already have emui 10(update.zip). But when mobile boots it goes through custom and preload and then it loads Operating System(emui 10).
In order to fix it . You need to load custom and preload for supporting emui 10.
If you have a regular hisuite, try erecovery mode.
Hisuite will download a package(update.zip, custom.zip and preload.zip) in documents folders if you are using Windows system. Once it downloads them, it will unzip those files and then it starts flashing customs, preload and then update(in this order). You need to figure out a way, to replace custom and preload folder with emui 10 files before Hisuite start flashing them.
so, since bootloader unlock is not longer possible with emui 10 i will give the phone to one of my kids so it will be a youtube interface, myself ordered a s20+ and hopefully samsung will treat me right.
