Do everything again, but this time don't forget to load FOTA file to Multiloader.
Where do I load the FOTA file to, I highlight full download and the click boot and it shows me which file to load sorry I am a novice at this and wish I hadn't started now, can you tell me exactly what to do please if you don't mind ..
I have tried to load the FOTA file now and I press the dowload button and after a second or two it says "Warring security fail" HELP............
Try few times, restarting phone from download mode or flashing program. Or try to flash fota from other firmware. You are able to flash only fota, without other files.
I think I have done it will let you know in a few minutes, thank you for all your help ...
It has worked thank you, the phone is now in German,I even have all german widgets and can't delete them, is this the right firmware for a UK phone I have looked at all the firmwares but don't know which is the right one......
Also my phone is very jerky and the screen is quite unresponsive..

DOES or DOES NOT ?
If possible, than try(AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!) to flash CWM(ClockWorkMod) via ODIN and than (do a backup before that!!!) do a full wipe. After that is done, enter Download mode and flash again.

As already suspected, this is probably a defect of mainboard. You will have to send it to Samsung Service Point. This could still be a warranty case, but from here on only Samsung can help you.

Can you enter into cwm recovery mode. If you can then I don't think there s way. Coz it'll show you tat you've rooted ur phone. If you can't then go to service center and pretend to them that you haven't even heard the word root in your whole life. Tel them that you just tried to update thru kies nd it got bricked. No other way my friend.

Note- your phone shd be within warranty period. Then it'll be replaced. I haven't done tis. But, heard from guys who did it.

What I see is that she's not having problem with bricking phone, so.. no need imo..
She just need to reflash... I believe she got wrong package when flashing? Like broken package.
Try checking http://www.samfirmware.com/
get a stock rom of your country / other, and reflash it with correct settings...
That should do it

Hi Irish..
Sorry for late response
I'm not going to get everybody afraid but want to make them AWARE
Basically i wanna explain more about the "BRICKING"
There are soft brick and hard brick
SOFT BRICK
Soft brick cause by bad installation :
Corrupted file
Bad flashing way
Power off while flashing
Soft brick will cause the phone wont load the OS, the characteristic are
After booting, couldn't load OS after the logo shown and keep the screen blank
After booting and get into OS, suddenly system crash and reboot
You can go thru reboot mode and download mode
This issue can be fixed by re-flashing your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HARD BRICK
Hard brick cause by:
Broken Hardware
Very-very wrong way of flashing
What really cause this ?
It's the damaged "ADB Interference Driver" that caused the device cannot give any command to system. In example your device wont reboot after flashing although ODIN has sent reboot command
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The characteristic are:
If your hardware damaged, your system will crash all over the time meanwhile you already re-flash but it cannot fixed
Your device have a boot loop and unable to go to recovery mode
Hah.. very wrong way flashing ?
Some device (Galaxy Ace & Galaxy 3 Apollo) have firmware that included with automatically system/data/cache format. They will not experience* this hard brick because the firmware doing cleaning before flashing
Sometime user not aware of this
They just go right away then flashing, this can cause hard brick
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How about Wonder ?
No, wonder firmware not included this command so you must clean data/system/cache first
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to fix this hard brick ?
Until now i didn't get any way to fix it, because it linked to damaged "ADB Interference Driver" so you cannot use any command in your device
It this happen you should go to Samsung Service Center
How to Flash Correctly (Custom ROM)
Make a full back up of your device & apps
Do full wipe on data/system/cache
Flash your latest stock ROM
Get Root access & CWM Recovery
Download your ROM correctly make sure not get corrupted
Make sure to copy it to primary SD card (no need to swap)
Make sure you have 85-100 battery or in charged with 85-100 power available

Yes, if the uploader publises a MD5 checksum. Than you, as downloader, will be able to check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file.
If not available I think all you can do to minimize the chance of not getting a corrupted file is by checking the size of the downloaded files and the one which is displayed at the filehoster. Other option would be to download the file twice and compare the MD5 checksum of the both files. if they are same everything is fine, if not ...

I learned Cryptography System before. I know the function of Md5 check sum. It is a "digest" of host file. BUT it can only check the integrity of the file. If the original file has already corrupted before making its md5, u won't know anyway.
Hi everyone,
I have Alcatel OT-918(Without D/M or N) I messed up my system and it is not working now.
It was running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
If anyone has access to this stock ROM please post the link..

If some has a phone like mine and I a kindly requesting that you back it up for me(minus your sensitive data of course) and post it.

- Option --> Check USB MODE
- Option --> Backup Restore NVRAM --> Check Backup --> .....
- Scater-loading File --> "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" (in 2.3.5_Europe)

Thanks for sharing marcorennes,
I have a 918d with android 2.3.5.
Your zip file is named "2.3.5_Europe.zip", does this mean that preloader and dsp_bl in this file are from android 2.3.5?
The reason I ask is that I dont seem to be able to 'read back' preloader and dsp_bl from a working phone (with SP Flash Tool), something wrong wih the file header in both files.
So it would be nice if I can use your preloader and dsp_bl...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is a zip file extract from an OT 918d in 2.3.5.
So I think you can take these ones.
I you use it, don't forget to use One Touch Upgrage after.
I used it for my OT 918 (without m/n/d) and it worked very well.

Merci Marco,
It worked like a charm.
I still wonder why I cant extract a valid preloader and dsp_bl from my working phone, did you extract them with SP Flash Tool?
I compared your preloader and mine and they are completely different.

Ok well first off i would tell you to charge your phone for a hour or two, then try to boot to Recovery Mode, power + volume up, load a custom rom for your device, then use alcatel's upgrade software tool to update back to stock rom. This worked for my 918 Mix (without d/m/n).
A custom rom for the 918 is the Gingerblaze, you can google it, its gingerbread 2.3.5 so you will be upgraded by alcatel's servers to 2.3.6.

I thought I also bricked by phone and almost gave up. After flashiing 2.3.5_europe it wouldn't even power on. Not even to recovery. No activity at all when pressing the power switch. So I tried to do an OTU using v1.8.2 and the OTU successfully completed. After that, ok na!

Hello. Hopefully, my title was just interesting enough to draw the eye of someone who know much more than I about his custom ROM stuff. Please understand that I am sure that this issue and probably exact question has been asked countless times by the same dummy, like myself, with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. SO...forgive me...I've spent countless hours reading and trying to find an answer on my own but everyone seems to have a slightly different problem, or, have utilized different methods of creating their issue.I'll be brief and ask for someone to please spare a little time to help me resolve this. THank you
Bottom line is that I tried to flash 4.4.2 to my NoteII(sgh-t889). I booted into recovery and did something stupid. I think I loaded the .zip files from the SD card instead of through my PC. Anywho, the phone is now bootlooped with the Cyanogen logo and I can only access ODIN to try and flash a new and proper firmware version. I wiped dalvik and did a factory reset before flashing the new ROM bu I don't think that is relevant because I am quite sure that I didn't install properly.
0
I have looked EVERYWHERE for a downloadable .TAR file to flash with the stock firmware(4.1.2) ...even here(hotfile.com has apparently shut down and all links are a bust) and I am not even sure if that will fix the problem
If anyone is willing to take the time to guide me through the steps to reinstall the stock firmware, point me to alid links for necessary files, and get this thing up and running again, i'll promise to give up on mod'ing my device and just enjoy the hotspot use that I got from rooting the phone in the first place.
BTW...I made a backup using clockwork but I cannot access it.
THanks Again for reading and the anticipated responses. I am sure this is a breeze for most of you but for those of us trying for the first time and learning by internet, this can be a little confusing due to so many differing methods/software. Thanks again.
you can get stock firmwares for ALL samsung devices at sammobile. Search google to access the site. The directions on the webpage to download is pretty straightforward. After you have the appropriate file on your computer, go into odin( give administrator permision) and select the PDA( says CP in some versions) button and select the file you just downloaded. Now with your phone, go into download mode( power home voldown) and when you see an big android and a screen that says downloading , connect your phone to your computer running odin and click start. Wait about 5to10 mins and you will have a resetted phone with stock firmware. If youre stuck in a bootloop just do this again until it works.

Hello. Thank you so much for responding ad so quickly. I can't tell you how much it is appreciated. I probably dont have to explain how lost I feel without my phone.
I tried all instructions provided but I believe that I must have missing something. The file downloaded is a .zip file and I cannot flash a .zip file through ODIN...or can I???? I did not see any .TAR files or others that can be flashed. If there is a simple solution, please respond with what I am doing wrong or where a >tar file can be located that can be flashed through odin to reinstall the stock firmware. I am willing to try any method that will solve the problem. THank you all again for reading and the assistance.
Why not try to get a rom that is 4.3? Maybe you have firmware for 4.3. Otherwise the only thing I could think is that your firmware and rom version isn't matching. I've had it boot loop before and it was usually because mismatch in firmware and rom

ok. I think you downloaded the wrong file. here are the elaborated assistance you might need.
1. go into this link : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
2. register or log in to the sammobile website.
3. you should have a black box that says <select your firmware> with a bunch of words in it. on the top right of that box, you'll see a box that says <Search device here...> enter you device name(SGH-T889) in that box and you will see your device firmware there. download the software version(android version) you want and press download. you'll have a zip file. you need to extract the zip file, and there'll be an odin flashable file.
*note: download is probably reeeeaaallly slow, so go have a cup of coffee. good luck!
after you've got the file on your computer, follow these instructions:
1. Extract (unzip) the firmware file
2.Open Odin
3.Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Is it the Android boot screen (i.e. Samsung/Cyanogenmod) or the Bootloader screen, that shows up first thing no matter which ROM you have?

I started with the stock rom, and i didn't be able to install new roms because at the first flash for root permission with odin, my phone restart with the loop. and the new files i flashed with odin gave me the same loop.
now, i think that the only solution is reset all. where is the right link? active link!
Yup

I think so too. Try using a three part firmware, I can't just provide the .pit because you'll need the modem file too.
Try using a three part firmware if a single file one doesn't work
Odin Single File = i8160XXXXX.tar.md5 which goes in PDA
Odin Three part = Modem, PDA and PIT (This repartitions your device back to factory so you'll lose all data and partition changes you've made!!))

yes,this is a good idea..but where i can find the three files for back to factory ?

The XXMF1 firmwares might have all three files. I don't know but from what I can collect it seems to be the most likely. The test XXMC8 and MB4 firmwares also contain three files, but, they're test firmwares, so I wouldn't recommend it - and you should flash stable firmware afterwards (after the phone reboots and you see the 'PASS' message on the computer and the phone has started to boot)
Good luck!
i'm very stupid... the only problem was battery low.. tnx anyway!

No problem! Try not to flash if you have less than 70% or so battery left as a general rule
