Ok, i'll start with the beginning:
I've purchased a Vernee T3 Pro, did the dumb thing of rooting it, and since then it has this weird red mark on the top-right corner (Google Key and some Chinese Letters), so I decided to unroot, put back original firmware, but to no use! on top of that, after the root, the phone no longer gets calls, but can dial and make calls without a problem.
So, I purchased a secondary Vernee T3 Pro, and I want to backup the Original Firmware, but the MTK Droid Tools only shows Hardware (mt6739wa) and Baseband (MOLY.LR12A.R2.MP.V34.15) and i can't click on anything to create a backup.
1) Yes, I had Developer Mode enabled
2) Yes, USB Debugging is turned on
3) Yes, I can use ADB to access
I've opened two tickets on Vernee Forums, no one bothered to reply there.
Can someone give me a direction to go in? so I can create a backup and flash it to the other Phone and hopefully make it work!
Or, how can I get rid of that annoying message (see photos) appearing on my screen? it appears even after a wipe and a stock rom flash!
Could it Help?

I really want use the T3 Pro Treble support anyhow but i´m afraid to do it so by now ( i even can´t make latest MKT Toll or SP Flash works...). I found a "initial build" of the ROM at https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-rom-vernee-t3-pro-firmware/ (so you can extract the scatter file from that).
Could it help?

Hey, thank you for the reply! but i've received that same build (and scatter file) from Vernee themselves, they said the device lost it's Google Authentication and I have to send it back. Thankfuly i'm under support so i'm waiting for them to send me a new device back.
This all happened cause I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, so personally i'm not doing it again on this device!
It causes a 5 sec delay on every boot with an ugly warning on the logo screen and it caused this verification issue... i'd not recommend going there...
asking and wondering
Could i ask you about your old issued device? How you tried to root it (magisk by TWRP, or did it from software like kingo root)? You read about these russian operating (use UMIDIGI A1 Pro or A3 model) that made it using "disable-encryption" and magisk v16? ------http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=910702&st=1360#entry78027539.
I still wanna make twrp works on that cheap thing... and hã... you're already with the new device?
greetings.

Unfortunatelly, from the moment I "rooted" the phone, it became useless
For one, there's a 5 sec "warning" during boot, that tells you the phone isn't safe anymore
Secondly, it some how broke the "Google Authentication" and I couldn't receive calls with it, even after restoring the ROM
Eventually, I contacted Vernee and they were kind enough to replace my phone with a new one.

If I ever get yet another device (a 4th one), then i'll do experiments on it, but what bothers me the most, is the moment you root the device, you get a 5 sec delay when turning the phone on with a warning text. That part pisses me off.

Thanks! I've been trying to understand how android devices work since this is my first one and was about to ask you how you have managed to restore your phone after your little accident with it not booting.
Now I read the you have managed to root it!
My main objective is to update some custpack applications with newer versions and remove others. I'll wait for your youtube tutorial.
By the way, I just came across a link to the kernel sources from Alcatel:

I got it from another thread here at xda and it was nice to find out that the Vodafone Smart II is there!

The tutorial is now available on Youtube under the title How to root Vodafone Smart 2 II it's Published on 17 Jun 2012 by bassalh2025.
XDA would NOT let me to post outside links cause I have less than 10 posts.
To restore it Boot into recovery then choose backup & restore It's an easy process anyway. I suggest to make a backup first just in case if you have an accident like I did with Marinia ROM then it can solve the problem in the future cause as far as I know there is no ROMs available yet for Vodafone smart 2
Splendid! After rooting it I have already managed to update Gmail, Twitter, Facebook and OfficeSuite without wasting precious memory. I simply replaced the /custpack/app versions with the new ones, reboot, et voilá!
Thanks for the root method!
Hello,
Can you please explain how to recover if phone it is stuck on boot ?
Now just Android image it is displayed on phone and can't enter to boot menu with Power ON + Volume UP buttons.
I jut tried to make backup with CWM got error and now phone it is stuck on boot.
If I connect to USB on PC it prompt for driver but can't find yet any compatible to try fastboot.
thank you.

Hello,
I have the same problem aswell, do you know exactly the cause of your issue? i think mine is that i used SUPERRECOVERY (a program for another android phone) that messed up my soft and i cannot boot to the RECOVERY mode, key combinations aren't working and i get stuck at green android image logo so i have to remove the battery every time ... Did the root work for you? i presume you rooted your phone before you tried to backup the CWM ? PS: i tried to ROOT my phone with that program SUPERRECOVERY, that is why i messed up my soft, did not had a chance to try the root method provided on this thread ...Vodafone Smart 2 here.
Hi,
I had no chance to root the phone, just made backup and after that I try to make backup with CWM and this one killed the phone.
Now I have backup files *.img but I can't find a solution to program this files.
I try to connect to PC but no drivers are found for this device even I try to point to drivers from phone SD card.
It look's like I need drivers for VID_0A5C&PID2132 to try to flash my recovery.img with sw from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144773
but I can't find it.
But how did you even manage to use ClockWorkMod because this program can't be used unless your phone is rooted, and what was the point in making a backup with that CWM if the phone already has the Alcatel recovery v1.0.0.0. preinstalled.
I had no idea that CWM will kill the phone if used on Alcatel V860 / Vodafone Smart 2, I just wanted to be sure I have 2 backup source... now I have one backup & one bricked phone that I did not even turned ON to see the menu how it looks... and 2 years Vodafone contract
Anyway, i had mine returned to the Vodafone center i bought it from, i will tell you how much they had my phone in service, but i am pretty sure by tomorrow or tuesday it will be back in my pocket it is pretty wierd because CWM is an app from Google play (android market) ... in my case i have no doubt that the program i used was made especially for noobs like me to use and Brick my phone ) Again that program that bricked my phone is called : SuperRecovert NOT Superrecovery, i made a mistake the first time sry ...
Look's like my phone will also go to Vodafone service because I can't find available any info, drivers or program to flash this Alcatel V860 phone... it's to new.
Yes, it's the best solution for now ... they will solve the problem pretty fast i'm sure ... we gotta' pay more attention next time
does the battery life is also bad for you?
for me it drains 1% for every 1 minute of calls...
Battery drain problem appear after you Root the phone or it is "feature" from new ?

Mine last about 3 days with normal use: About 1 hour with wifi on maybe playing media for few minutes + Few phone calls + few texts /1day and I always have my phone powered off at night about 7 to 8 hours and I always use 2G GSM + killing the Apps running in the back ground with Task killer.... And I have it rooted for a couple of days now. Usually the smart phones battery doesn't last so long unlike the old Nokia.
I noticed the battery capacity for this phone is only 1200mAh!!!! It is actually ok cause it's not 700mAh, but you get what you pay for in the end of the day it is a cheap phone. I knew that there is what they called Gold battery but this is for the previous Vodafone smart phones the Huawei versions with 2430mAh for something like 13pounds this can last for about one week with normal use.
@bassalh123
i followed your guide and working fine. thank you.
Parents got one of these and lot of crap on it also Volume very low
Cannot access you tube but is the root message extracting file to phone and then using file manager to run it or is it via Odin?
When rooted can the volume be increased and can Titanium be installed to remove all the crap also can the start up vodafone splash screen be removed
Thanks

Hi Mr Irish man,
In one word Rooting android gives you access to system files. So you can uninstall pre-installed Apps like Vodafone music ... Some Apps maybe needed by the operating system so don't uninstall them!!! so be careful.
Refer to Youtube video and learn how to root your vodafone smart 2 it's under the title how to root vodafone smart 2 II
LG C800
Device will not enter fastboot.
Can't get into recovery mode.
Each time it boots it hard resets. There is an unofficial CWM Recovery Rom on this forum from chui101 which is for this exact phone, but I have as of yet not had any luck in getting the phone to take it.
So far i've tried Flash_image recovery.img (renamed chui's CWM recovery file to recovery.img)
Doesn't seem to matter what I do the phone starts(LG on screen), resets (the LG goes away for a sec then comes back), does a hard reset (a white box with an arrow pointing out of it an to a little android), again resets the phone one last time for a "normal" boot.
I've tried a few different things to try and flash anything overtop of the stock recovery but nothing works. It seems like very early in the bootstrap is a command to do a hard reset and anything that gets put in AFTER that command is ignored. (And the phone hard resets and anything else it was supposed to do is gone.)
Device is rooted with SuperSU.
Phone is fully functional except that it hard resets every boot, and if its plugged in when off it doesn't go to a charging screen, it starts the phone 100% up.
Adb devices CAN see the phone.
I CAN get into Download (sometimes called Emergency) mode.
"reboot recovery" doesn't do anything but reboot the phone as described above.
I can't afford a new phone guys, so I'm over a barrel at this point.
i'll pay whoever provides meaningful help in getting this thing fixed.
You should start fresh. So, flash the stock rom FTF of your phone, then the phone should boot up normally. Then you could either root it and install a CUSTOM recovery, or flash a pre-rooted custom kernel that already contains a recovery. From there, just flash the custom rom you want
Just press thanks if I helped, no need for money
stock rom FTF?
From the factory?
I'd love to do that. But am bewildered as to how when every guide I've found says use fastboot -- which doesn't work on my device. And every guide without fastboot thus far has not worked. I've been reading 10 hrs a day for the last 3 days looking for a solution to this.
If there was a way to completely wipe the entire phone and then install stock rom I'd be glad to do it.... I have found no such guide... only those to replace recovery. (not a 100% clearing as if it came right off the line with no software yet installed)
Additional information:
mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
Spits out a "No such file or directory" error
I don't know about you, but for Xperia Devices there is a PC software called Flashtool to flash stock roms and custom kernels and stuff from the PC. There should also be a software like that for your device. You just download the stock FTF for your phone (just type in google "download stock FTF for LG C800") and flash it in Flashmode that should be working
One more thing, this issue is not called bricked
press thanks if i helped
There is an LG tool but it says current software is up to date.
Other option is run recovery, which just reboots the phone as is.
No, this software I am talking about is not made by LG or Sony in my case. It should be a general tool for all LG devices. it should root, flash, install busybox, etc......

LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL ?
Thats the one that so far doesn't work.
the one named:
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN ?
He doesn't appear to support GSM phones. Plus I hit "Read info from phone" button... it gets almost everything -- correctly -- then crashes.
IT wants kdz files... looking for them now... chui has a dl link for the stock recovery but even though its a few mb it looks like only a zipped folder hierarchy with no files.
Slightly mis-read. still not finding any "generic" flashing software
trying octopus now....
crashed....
run as admin..... ah... you need their hardware which is hundreds of dollars...
Flash image gui, phone is not supported.
ok, a couple cyanogen dev's have both told me i'm screwed. Imma try for the rest of today and then just never turn it off again.
ok, paying lg to fix it... anybody guess what that will cost?
Try flashing CyanogenMod on your phone as no stock firmware is avaiable currently for your phone cyanogenmod shall fix the problem and you should boot normally (first flash CWM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 - flashing cwm recovery (do it!)
Flashing cyanogenmod (requires usb debugging on)
First to put the cyanogenmod rom in the sdcard use adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Page 2(The actual flashing part :victory - http://droidnoob.com/update-lg-c800-to-android-4-0-4-ics-via-cm9.html/2
Probably will fix the problem....
hi techmasta,
I'd love to flash cyanogenmod, but the phone never enters fastboot to flash anything. The first link you posted says to use fastboot. I can't do that. The phone doesn't goto fastboot, it runs its recovery first.
EDIT: if there is a way to force it while the phone is in download mode that could probably work.
secondly, I've spend more than 40 hours on this issue, mostly reading forums but still a great deal on google.
I'm pretty unhappy with google as neither of those droidnoob forums ever come up. And believe me, there isn't much out there referring to the lg c800 so they should have!
I picked up this device from walmart for $29.99 with the intentions of learning some new development stuff.I
thought for 30 bucks there's gonna be a lot of these little "duallies" running around why not a cheap candidate?
So far as i can tell there is little info found about this device so I'm looking to collect what little is known about
it in one place in hopes to get a jump on it. First things first, I am responsible for my own actions as you are yours.
If your not sure ask or simply dont do, some of this stuff can brick your device!

finally a dialogue that states sucess.
***ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED OF LOSING RECOVERY OR THE ABILITY TO ENTER IT AFTER
A WIPE AS WELL AS PROBLEMS BACKING UP AND OR RESTORING.
I have "injected" twrp manager into the system using titanium backup (link2sd will work also). This seems to
prevent any issues I have read about previously mentioned. Also I have successfully preformed backups as
well as restores, both before and after wiping. I have not figured out how to enter twrp recovery upon boot
yet, so be careful of what you do!
*SAFE TO REMOVE APPS*
yet to come
I use "titanium backup" from the play store, still trimming.I can get it down to about 230MB
available "free" ram at the moment but not consistently.
Ok had an issue with a task manager improperly reporting free available ram... true availability was
around 150mb free. There are apps that have to be replaced when removed, for example a launcher
for a launcher but some do not. Again I'm still trimming and experimenting, right now my system rom
around 244mb free. Most every thing I have done has been on the phone its self without the need of a P.C.
*STOCK BACK UP*
Yet to come
Any candidates for a true stock rom? Ive hacked the crap out of this one so far without the need of a back up... i know tisk tisk tisk!
I'm going for a debloated deodexed stock rom, hopefully!

I've got a few of these that are bootlooping. They show the LG logo, and then TracPhone Wireless splash screen infinitely in a loop.
Two questions.
1 - Is there any way to recover them? I'm hoping for some sort of a dev tool that I could flash a stock image or something (like Odin is for Samsung phones)
2- When these phones started bootlooping, I installed TWRP on the other Fuels that I have, thinking that I didn't want it to happen to them. My understanding of the TWRP that's installed from TWRP manager doesn't flash a modified boot image, so you can't enter TWRP from a powered off (or in my case, bootlooping) phone. Is that correct? I flashed a custom boot image from elsewhere that allows me to tap vol up at the LG logo to boot to TWRP. Any idea if this is enough of a safeguard to in the even of similar boot loops?
Any chance you know how to get it in diag mode? I need to connect it to DFS but can't without diag. Thanks for your help!

My apologies for the delayed response. I have a lot going on in life.
As for recovering them, use the device you have closest to stock to make a backup. Do this before you attach your account or put any thing in to it after a "fresh wipe". To the best of my knowledge there isnt a tool like odin available, i could be wrong though. You can push a back up to the looping devices via adb. in order to do this you must have previously enabled usb debugging. The instructions are available on the web, i my self dont know how to do this. If you can establish an adb connection im sure you can command it to boot into twrp. For setup and testing use one of the devices that doesnt have a problem to establish adb. There is a little info on another thread i created about investigating the boot process the link is in my signature for the defy. Please be patient with me as i have two jobs and a single father, im not a hacker or developer. just a normal guy that is fascinated by my little robot willing to learn any thing. now that I know this thread is becoming active Ill monitor a little closer. Also if there is any thing i can help with ill be glad to do so. Im wanting to get a second fuel just for dev and learning purposes.
Recovery
Is there a way to access recovery on the lg fuel? I am stuck in a boot loop because I disabled the home screen service as well as other things that I did not pay attention to. I do not have a custom recovery installed.
I've never been able to boot to recovery by way of button press. Seems like there's a way to get into boot loader mode though. Just can't remember off the top of my head, I'm at work now and don't have the fuel with me. I'll see what I can figure out in a few hours when I get home. In the mean time you can try button combos upon boot to include the home button. If we can get ADB talking to it there's a chance I can send you copies of the files needed. Give me more details of what you have done just before the boot looping.
Sent from my ALCATEL A564C using XDA Free mobile app
I bought the optimus fuel a few months ago and i've been using it primarily for a music player/run keeping devices during my jogs. I turned off mobile data and i've noticed that i still see signal bars on the top notification area - does this mean that the radios are still on?
I was wondering if there was some way to completely disable the cellular radios so that i could conserve battery life inbetween days where I don't run?
Thanks!
This is a pretty cool app....

Airplane mode and then turn WiFi back on does the trick. "Radios off" = ton more juice
Has anyone found out anything else for this little phone? I have the LG Optimus Fuel. Had it for a few months now. I rooted it as soon as I got it and uninstalled a few system apps like the LG keyboard, the default SMS app and Chrome along with 2 or 3 other Google apps. It's still running fine.
I installed TWRP recovery and a custom boot image so I could boot into recovery by pressing the up volume button. Works great. I made a full system backup and saved it to my external SD card and saved it to my Debian laptop.
Right now I'm just looking for a custom ROM for this little phone but can't find one. I'd love to get Cyanogenmod on this phone but there are none. I'd port it myself but I'm not able to at the moment.

I'll expand on the above link because no one can view all of the info in that thread w/o registering for that site [PITA].
Load towelroot (www.towelroot.com). Upon running towelroot, press "welcome to towelroot v3" 3-times (quickly). Change 1337 0 1 0 4 0 to 1337 0 0 0 4 0 (change only the ONE to a ZERO), click "make it ra1n" and you're rooted. :good:
This was verified on an L34C running Android 4.4, Kernel 3.4.0+, build KRT16S.L34CV10c, Sw ver L34CV10c.
YMMV; IANAL
My apologies for the inconvenience, I was unaware for the need to register.
What I would like to do with the L34C is find a ROM with all the phone functionality removed, and few to no Google Apps (let me just add the ones I need). I am not planning on using it as a phone (I still have my old Casio flip-phone, need nothing else). My intention was to experiment with creating a PalmPDA "replacement", something small to carry around for addresses, notes/memos, calendar (you know, the stuff you used to do on PalmOS), and in addition figure out how to do record-level synchronization **locally** (as in I don't need to send my data to some dirt-floor shack in Bangalore just to have it sent back to a device 2 feet away from my computer). Additionally, would line to use it as a basic portable media player. Essentially, trying to re-create the Palm LifeDrive on Android.
To my knowledge there are no roms available for this device. Your best bet in my opinion is to remove apps 1 by 1 after rooting. Google each and find out what the risk and severity of removing them are. I have donated my device to a less fortunate fellow employee. So as of now I'm unable to help with testing. This method is what I do for all of my devices until I'm finally happy with its performance and functionality. Think of Android as the swiss army knife of the computer world, you can do just about any thing with it, you just gotta figure out what tools are useful to you and the ones you can do with out, then you gotta ask Google witch ones Android can function with out. I hope you find what your looking for in the little robot, its a really neat world inside there!
I hate to bump an old thread but, I also don't it necessary to start a new one, at least not yet anyway but, I too am looking for a way to flash stock ROM. I have LG34Cs to use as a reference..
Where is the link to exposed framework at for this phone?
All official twrp 3 images are broken on official site. Last good working was 2.8.7.0.

What does broken mean in detail? Do I risk to brick my L34C when I flash official twrp 3 images?

Broken as in doesn't boot into recovery. The phone will still boot into android, assuming you have a working system, and within android with root you can flash a working recovery image over a broken flash with the dd command on the twrp device info page (twrp.me/lg/lgoptimusfuel.html). So no real risk of brick, just possible inconvenience that might require a battery pull.
I built twrp 3.2.1 with same sources but I have not tested it since my battery seems to have completely died and the phone won't boot with usb power alone.
Here is link anyway in case anyone is interested:

After successfully rooting my first Android, I got excited and jumped ahead of myself and indulged into Xposed and then after Gravity Bomb. Just so all OT users know Gravity Bomb will most likely put your phone in to a boot loop!!
After surfing the net I came across a post on another forum by a user named 'Brka' and he educated me on a this tool. To quote him,
Hello all,
in order to keep this section clean, this is the starting point that will (in most cases),
fix your problem, and stop repeatedly asked question, like :
- How to reset my blocked counter ?
- I have a dead phone/tablet, what to do first ?
- My phone doesn't power on, what to do ?
- Please, I need firmware for OT-XXXX Model !
Now, for beginning, some explanation :
Alcatel (TCL) already thought about many user problems that can arise,
like screwed android system (ROM), dead phones, etc,
and gave a solution for fixing most common errors, mentioned above,
called ONE TOUCH UPGRADE a.k.a. O.T.U.
All you need to do is check your model, sometimes you can use model written on sticker,
like ot-985, or M'Pop (ot-5020) etc. (If it's branded model like IDEA Aurus - it's ot-985N),
and download corresponding One Touch Upgrade tool, via "googling" for that model,
or via search on official (or country-dependant) Alcatel site - EXAMPLE for OT-985
Now, after you downloaded and installed OTU, charge your battery,
use classic micro-usb cable and revive your phone, by following what OTU says.
OTU will install drivers, and after you plug your powered off phone,
it will found new hardware (Virtual USB COM Port), so it may give error at first try,
just simply repeat process, it will do it's job, and (hopefully), bring it back to life.
Some nice things that OTU will do for you : (all of them at once)
- It WILL bring your phone back to life (if software problem)
- It WILL FULLY RESET ALL User Data !!!
- It WILL Return Phone to Stock state, in case you used custom rom.
- It WILL Remove User/PIN/Google/Pattern Lock
- It WILL reset unlock codes counter (too many tries)
I hope all is clear now, regarding this case.
Posts containing mentioned requests for ROM's can be posted just and ONLY
in case you have ALREADY tried things from this post,
else it will be deleted / moved to trash.
This thread will also contain successful done phones via this method, to eliminate
the forum space / confusion.
wish you luck with dead phones,
b.r.
Alex

So if you didn't back up your phone properly and can't figure out how to reinstall the STOCK ROM, find the O.T.U. Tool on Alcatel's support website and you should be fine.
Excuse me po, can I use this even for alcatel idol 3 dead phone?
Hi All,
I have a Huawei Enjoy 7 - Model SLA-LA00 (running Nougat 7.0, EMUI 5.1, Boot is unlocked).
I'd like to root it, but I've tried Kingoroot, King Root, iRoot etc and it repeatedly fails. On checking it seems that my device isn't compatible with those apps. I would like to use the ADB method, but there's no custom recovery image for the SLA-LA00, I've also checked and it seems, there isn't but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Is there a custom recovery available for my model?? Also, I've tried looking but, is there an International firmware for this model??
Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.
Regards,
marquez010
Hello, was going to create a new thread, but think yours fits what I need to ask aswell.
Same phone here, bought it in Shanghai and now in Brasil, was trying just to make it google able. Salesman at the official Huawei store tricked me to think it would just need access to a open network for it to work. Silly me.
Well, as you, unlocked it with ADB and with no answers from nobody, tried to flash it with a random TWRP. Obviously didn't work. Now the phone wont boot into system, but i still can manage to put it in fastboot mode and it still replies to ADB.
Question is if someone that knows better than me can tell me what to do to at least get back where I was, before I finish killing this damm stupid phone, wich also doesn't seem such bad idea.

Hi , all you have here :
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-enjoy-7-b161-nougat/
Hey, thanks a bunch. Found that post before, but it looks like its for an older version of this phone. Mine was running b190 nougat. Don't know if should try to flash this one, but if no other ideas, will try it.
Well, was able to boot it again. Flashed it with yet another twrp that i found for a similar (or so i think) huawei and even tough it didn't work, when I connected the phone to the charger and it responded the power up volume combination and allowed me to reboot normaly.
Guess I'm back to where I started. Think now is better to wait, maybe there wiil be a moe suitable release of a gms core package that it requires for google play to work (have it, but installation fails on rebbot) or twrp updates with a version that works for me and then I can try to install gapps thru it.
Back to my old crappy lg now.
