Hey,
I recently bought this phone Huawei U8500, and I had a long search on the net where can I get a working recovery, finally I found a modified clockworkmod recovery.
It seems that this phone is highly unpopular.
I just wanted to share my finding.
Here you can download this modified version: Download
Steps to install recovery:
1. Download the clockworkmod
2. Unrar it somewhere on your computer
3. Turn off your phone
4. Press & Hold volume down key + call end (red) key and then press power key.
5. Launch the .bat file on your computer + connect your phone via USB
6. When it's finished, take out the battery and wait 5 seconds before putting it back in
7. Then you can access the recovery by holding volume up key + call(green) key
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing I can recommend If your phones android build version doesn't end with "712", I suggest you to update it to the beta release, you'll have more functional dual-touch.
Here is the beta froyo update: Download
To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" filder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Russian site I found some unofficial ROM's too.
I haven't tried them yes but if someone is willing here you can download them:
Firmware 2.2 29.01.2011 by Pavlo78
u8500_mao_rls7b2
u8500_mao_rls7++by_march_2
u8500_mao_rls8_by_march
u8500_mao_rls8_by_march
To install one of these ROM's do the following:
1. Copy the ZIP file on root of your SD card, the ZIP file, not RAR.
2. Boot up your phone in recovery mode (by holding volume up key + call(green) key)
3. With your optical trackpad select "Install zip from sd card"
4. From the list choose your ZIP file
5. And then just wait till the installation is complete and then just restart the phone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I highly recommend you to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
You can do that in recovery mode, just click on nandroid and follow the on screen instructions it will backup your current firmware + your currently installed apps.
I'm not responsible for bricking your phone, if something doesn't go well. By doing the things I wrote, you may void your phones warranty.
Don't forget to thank me
Kind regards

Bro, may i have to wipe all data via recovery like slash,cache and dalvik cache before i install froyo beta?
This is really helpful...a lot of Bangladeshis will be needing this. Telenor just launched this phone here.
I am using Huawei U8500 (Local branded as GrameenPhone Crystal). I have backed up my current ROM using ROM Manager. Can anyone confirm that the back-up ROM contains all the information including the Customized Branding???

Yah This one is the complete stock rom. I checked and found gps preloaded rom and this one is identical.
So no worry about Warranty. just load it when you need to go to gps Customer care.

hey im thinking bout buying this phone as i live in bangladesh... can anyone confirm me about the froyo upgrade does it work???
I did download the beta firmware.
And updated the phone's firmware a few minutes ago.
I have the dual touch now, yay (and a little better keyboard).
Many thanks from a Droid noob.
This should be enough for all your stock rom needs.
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8500
BTW: If you install the clockwordmod, you will lose the GP stock bootup screen (not the boot animation). So if you are going to claim warranty make sure you flash the GP firmware before you go to the GP centre.
Someone was asking how this phone is...the only issue I have is knowing that I'll never have flash on this thanks to the arm6 processor.

There is a thread in the port section of the Cyanogenmod forum. It started with a lame question but later a lot was discussed about gingerbread 2.3.4. There is a Chinese developer (Slax) who has been working on the rom. However, this rom does have a few issues.
I don't know Chinese and google translate is incomprehensible. You should be able to find all the links needed in the cyanogenmod forum.
here is the link.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/21467-huawei-u8500/
for froyo try trial and error with all the official roms. if you don't like one change it. eventually you will find one that meets your need.

Thanks in advance.
Hello XCoder, and all!
I try this steps, but i stopped after 4th step...
I get a boot logo, and the XP can't recognize droid, unknown device.
than the .bat file just wait for connection.
i try lot of drivers (original U8500, Original Android, and the SDK's driver too) and still "unknown Andoid device"
If i get out battery, take back, and standard Power On, the XP recognize the "Android Composite ADB" device, and bind the SD card, and CDROM image, and works perfectly.
but i can't upgrade in Standard Mode
can anyone have an idea, how i can access the Droid under Recovery Mode?
and all links of huaweidevice.com are unavailable

I have same problem here
Root and GAPPS instruction for TCL P600
Since TCL P600, TCL P606 and Alcatel One Touch Snap 7025D are the same phones I just write about TCL P600 now. But it's working for both.
TCL P600 root package: http://www.4shared.com/zip/3HRtqraE/TCL_P600_Root.html
HowTo Root TCL P600:
- Extract the file
- Start the flash tool in extracted folder
- Make sure under options it is choosen “with battery”
- In FlashTool load scatter file contained in folder
- Click checkboxes of BOOTIMG and RECOVERY
- Doubleclick on BOOTIMG and refer to TCL-P600_130417__boot_patched_130508-162244.img
- Doubleclick on RECOVERY and refer to TCL-P600_130417__recovery_130508-162244.img
- Switch off mobile and unplug it from usb
- Click “download” in flash tool
- Plug in usb in phone
- If you get a green circle from flash tool saying OK you’re ready with root shell
- Unplug phone and reboot into CWM
- Start Droidtools and plugin usb to phone again
- Install superuser of your choice into phone.
- Ready – you have full root to phone.
If you experience any problems please check if you used the right drivers. Please check drivers attached in folders. Only use them.
Here is the JB gapps zip for flashing with CWM: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Full instruction of getting a well working TCL P600:
1. First of all I updated the phone with TCL updater to the latest firmware.
2. I rooted it as I described before.
3. I deleted lots of China Apps and also under system/media bootup sounds and some - for me - other stuff not needed in order to get more space on system partition.
4. I installed GAPPS through CWM. I did it with this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After rebooting I got crash of google search. I ignored it and added my google account. After opening playstore then I got update for google search. After updating there is no crashing anymore.
All other gapps are working quite well. I tested GPS for the TCL P600 and was really suprised it works quite fast and accurate.
The only thing: There is no A-GPS setting. Let's say: There is no GPS setting at all. You can only switch GPS on and off. Settings are not included. Maybe this will be unlocked with a modded rom.
I'm now testing all functions in detail but up to now it works really great.
Hope you got it also up to this point. After all steps this phone is really perfect.
------------------
If you brick your phone you have a brick Not my fault. I don't take responsibility of that my instruction will work for you. It worked for me. So now it's up to you.

Custom Recovery
Hey i want to know if this recovery can be ported to my phone the alcatel one touch fierce it is the same as th one touch snap/7025d just without the 8mp camera and splash water proofing everything else is the same i had tried the aoutomatic port for CRR recovery but when it flashed the recovery i got a security error on my alcatel that says "error 101 unaouthorized software installed "it would not boot upand was bricked i bought the same phone again and i am wondering how y'all ported it to the fierces sister phone the one touch snap .thanks and have a great day
I don't know about porting possibility. I guess there is no way. This thread is not about changing the ROM but just how to root the TCL. There is no custom ROM out actually. So I don't see chances to port. Why should this be necessary? Is the stock ROM having problems?

hello weimerd
my problem is that I have rooted the phone but when i delete Chinese applications to install gapps I deleted the app that handles the notification bar and other things, don't have notifications bar

google search don't work
Do I have to reload the firmware? Where do I can download the stock rom P606 TCL? to star again.

NO i just want to see if thos recovery could work in the case that ne2w rom development would occur and to create a backup for people who need it that is why i wanted to see if it could be ported
Solved the problems
Solved the problems.
I was able to upgrade wiht "TCL 2.7.4 Updater Setup.exe" the mobile software, I had the "TCL 2.7.9 Updater Setup.exe" version and this version told me it was updated. When I tested with 2.7.4 has recharged my sw and have gone back to the top, I rooted again with wiemerd instructions and now everything has worked correctly.
Thank you for your instructions and weimerd Sixpenny by spend "TCL S 2.7.4 Updater Setup.exe" saved me.

Thank you, i will try. I must install some other version of OS, official is fully bugged. After i used ROMs from xda for last 2 years, on my old phone, i forgot how bugged is official android.
There are so much crashes with official version, corupted SD card and so on...
please help me. after reflashing of my rom with flash tool. i have lost my imei and i have not done backup of my efs. my alcatel ot 7025d can't recognize any sim. i need efs backup or way to solve of my problem. i live in ivory coast there are not alcatel sav in this country.
I used kingo for root. Its really one click root tool. If your phone is rooted, you can restore to default. You can try to restore it with that tool.
Anyone know where to download Custom Boot Loader and Newer version of OS?
I have huge problem with this phone. There is all the time problem with memory card. I am using kingston class 10, 16gb memory but from time to time, after i take some picture or use default gallery, i get message that my memory card is corrupted. I need to restart phone and everything is ok, but sometimes it require even 3-5-7 restarts and its really anoying. Cant take pictures, use ringtone from memory cartd etc.
I tried with official updater but still use 4.2.1 version. Anyone have any newer custom rom?
Sorry for off topic but i am sure that this problems can be solved with some newer OS.

Yes, buy new card I tried million things, formatted card using computer, phone, different phone etc. At the end, i bought new card and there is no problems at all. I give my card to my gf and she is using card without problem for last half year.
I came upon this device on Christmas (a gift from my girlfriend to her father) and wanted to root it and also install clockworkmod recovery, so I could mess with it a bit without bricking it. Since I found a lack of tailored guides for it, I decided to write this one, although I really did no actual development whatsoever. Normally I would be posting this on general, but given the spirit of this forum, I guess I'll just leave it here. Also, keep in mind I don't have the device anymore and am writing this from memory. If I missed anything or you have any doubts, please let me know (for example, I can't recall specifically the drivers I installed to make it work properly).
Please, please read the whole guide before trying anything, and if you are a novice user, just leave this be, I don't want you to turn your tablet into a paperweight because of my shoddy instructions written from memory and you probably don't need any of this anyway as there are no custom roms yet.
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!: As stated above, anything you do is at your own risk. I provided the procedures that worked for me on a Qilive 97r tablet, which is an Auchan branded ARCHOS 97b Platinum HD, so my step by step should work for all of you. There are probably easier ways to do this, and I hint at them in the guide, but beware I have not tried them and cannot vouch for them. In fact, I cannot and will not take any responsability if you brick your device following these instructions, correctly or otherwise. You do this at YOUR OWN RISK. You have been warned!
Rooting:
I followed this guide on Windows 7 x64 and it worked perfectly.
So thanks to dhigby for that. I would just like to make a couple of remarks:
When you get to step 7 (Installing Superuser by ChainDD), don't. Install SuperSU by Chainfire instead, Use it to update the superuser binary (I think a prompt shows up) and when asked, let it delete the "other" superuser applications, that is, the chinese one. Clean and easy, you don't need to follow any more steps.
Congratulations, you now have (english language) root!
Clockworkmod Recovery:
There is no specific recovery for this device. Fortunately, thanks to AndroTab.info, there's a generic version for 3188 devices that you'll see should work quite nicely, albeight with some caveats.
What works:
Nandroid backup to/from external SDCard (won't recognize internal)
Installing zip files should also work, although I didn't try it at the time, as the device wasn't mine and I can't since I don't have it anymore, but since it mounts system partitions perfectly well I wouldn't think there would be a problem. Try it at your own risk though.
Other things probably work, give it a try.
What doesn't work:
Internal SDCard access
Probably other things
Installation:
Now that you have a rooted tablet, installing clockworkmod recovery is easy-peasy. Go to developer options and enable USB Debugging, then make sure you have a working adb daemon (look it up) that recognizes your tablet.
NOTE: I'm not sure if I had to install any specific drivers for this to work, I think if so they were installed while rooting by the chinese app. Anyhow, here's the Rockchip drivers, you might want to try to install them if you can't get a connection: http://www.rockchip.nl/downloads/
Download the file RK30GENERIC_CWM.zip from here - that's the recovery.
Now extract flash_image and recovery.img from the downloaded file above to the folder where you have your adb and follow the following commands.
Push the files to /dev partition on the device:
Code:
adb push flash_image /dev/
adb push recovery.img /dev/
Then enter root shell, like so:
Code:
adb shell
su
Now flash recovery.img into recovery partition with flash_image:
Code:
chmod 755 /dev/flash_image
/dev/flash_image recovery /dev/recovery.img
Now power off your device. To enter recovery press volume down then the power button and keep them pressed until CWM boots. Voilá!
NOTE: The instructions above were adapted from here and all credit goes to AndroTab.info ; I posted these particular instructions because they are the ones I used and worked for me; there are other methods listed on that page which might or might not work, TRY THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Backing up your original recovery (for warranty, if anything goes wrong, etc.)
To obtain a backup image of your recovery \ restore it back afterwards, follow this guide here. All credit goes to Originalas.
Don't follow it to the letter though: first and foremost, you need a working linux installation. If you don't have one, I recommend Wubi.
Then:
Follow step 1;
Ignore step 2 (it's outdated);
Follow 3;
Follow 4 - but don't expect the screen to turn on, it won't, just hold the volume down button for 10 seconds or so after plugging it in, don't press the power button!
Ignore 5, 6 and 7
Follow 8, but don't use the last command to flash the CWM recovery onto the device. This is because since it is a generic version, it relies on the original recovery kernel. Flashing the image like stated in step 8 would probably overwrite the kernel and result in no recovery at all (I might be wrong about this).
Do follow the last command to restore your own backup if you ever need to.
I am unsure if recovery dumps obtained in this way are device specific; I don't see a reason why they should be, so I'll provide you with my own backup:
ORIGINAL RECOVERY
Flash through any method of your choice, but keep in mind I haven't tried this on other devices, so, as you know by now DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Closing remarks:
There you have it. Sorry for not holding your hand through every step, but this is meant for people who know a bit of what they're doing, making it faster than having to look up and figure out all these things and quirks on their own. If you have any doubts don't hesitate to ask, but keep in mind I don't have the device anymore and don't know much more than what I have written here. I do appreciate feedback and corrections, and will gladly change the guide giving you full credit - if it's really urgent just PM me, I might not check this thread often.
Cheers!
thanks, works like a charm...do you have any news about updates\custom roms? I can't find anything even in the archos main site

I wouldn't keep my hopes up on custom roms. The software is really bad and what it does with the hardware is terrible. It's like a bunch of chipmunks put the code together by randomly typing into a keyboard.
That said, the likelihood of a new kernel to fix that is next to nil. However, since the ROM is as far as I can tell pretty near stock, you can get a pretty good experience from the device by installing gravity box xposed module. I also recommend trickstermod and changing the governor to performance, as well as some kernel tweaking if you know what you are doing.
Also, very important, limit the amount of processes running in the background to 3 in dev settings or change the used memory limit to something like 1.2 gb. It has 2 gb of RAM, but, as I said, the ROM sucks, the system eats away a full gigabyte, and it doesn't effectively kill background apps, leaving you with a sluggish device if you multitask.
Anyway, those are just some ideas, if you have some more or would like to code for this device, feel free to share Also, as I always say, give it time. You never know who is gonna get they're hands on the device and do something amazing with it.

hi and thanx for the answer
yes i saw that it's almost stock but crappy optimized...in the very first start of the tablet i had 1.8gb occupied by nothing and clean master always notifies me that 90% of the ram is busy...meh
maybe just a kernel will fix like you say but you know, android 4.4 will be a must (rockchip already released sdk for 3188). I am not a coder (totally zero) but i will try your suggestion...just a question about the performance governor, does it drain more battery?
i am trying to backup my rom but cwm is so buggy...first was impossible, now i'm stuck on backing up boot image
there is a twrp available for this tablet?
solved
ehy can someone provide a stock rom for the qilive 97r? I'm using a omni 4.4.4 but i want to rever back

I managed to root this device today using king root. The first try failed. I ran it a second time and got it to work. I installed titanium backup which gave a warning that the superuser binary was functional but may cause problems. I installed supersu from the play store and tried to update the binary, which failed, even after a restart. Not sure what that means, perhaps someone more knowledgeable can tell me. I also installed other root apps, SD maid pro and rom toolbox pro, both of which seem to function as they should. I have yet to confirm root with a root checker but I intend to shortly. Hopefully this information will help with further development of this device.
The above listed method works. I did it this morning by fluke. I just tried it thinking it wouldn't work but it did. I have lollipop v 5.0.2 and the kingrooy file I downloaded was from google searching "king root" without apk. Half way down you should see the 4.6 link.
Current version is 4.6x which works on most newer mid grade phones. Then I used kingroot to SuperSU files and setup which I got from Google. Can't remember link but search kingroot to supersu and it should be the first link. Run and reboot enter supersu and update binary. You ready to install root apps, debloat, and customize. Haven't found any customs kernel, ROMs, recovery, or anything so I will be working on that soon. Keep an eye out in the near future. Unregistered user until I finish posting.

King root
King root version 4.5.0 works for Alcatel one touch conquest thank you very much. Titanium backup doesn't like the manager and anticipates problems and recommends superSU. I was unable to install the binary normally but haven't tried using the cwm or twerp option. Busybox 26 installed and I'm new to xda and will continue on the subject.

my device is bricked! i have the alcatel onetouch conquest 7046t for boost mobile....i read this thread and decided to do exactly what everyone who posted on the thread said to do...i i got kingroot version 4.6, and it worked on the second try....but no root apps would work... netspoof said that i might have not given it superuser permissions ( which i did...when kingroot asked i clicked allow) and titanium backup pro said it failed to get root and that it recommends supersu....i installed superuser from chains sd and tried to update the binaries, but it failed......i notcied that in superuser it said that i had root and it said something about kinguser in superuser...so it bacame clear to me that i need to switch kinguser with superuser...or supersu like titanium backup and this thread suggested
so i followed the directions and found kingroot to supersu on google and let the app "supersu me" do its thing...
while supersume was uninstalling kingroot, and installing supersu....something popped up and asked me if i wanted to delete all the files associated with kingroot...i clicked yes....and thats what i think caused my phone to brick
when it said supersu was successfully installed, i went to the app and successfully updated the binaries...right....well it told me that i should reboot the phone because i just updated the binaries so i clicked the reboot now button that the app offered me and the phone went to reboot....but stayed at the alcatel onetouch screen and all i can access is the recovery mode....in recovery logs it says something about no such file or directory for dev/tty0 or soemthing. it said it again in something about the bootloader....
so i think what happened is when i told supersu me to delete all files associated with kingroot it went ahead and deleted a bootloader file or something....normally i would just reinstall the stock rom but this damn phone is so new there isnt one online anywhere
so anyways....can anyone tell me where to get the stock rom or how to unbrick my phone.....i want to just put the stockrom on an sd card and apply it as an update to restore whatever file that is missing and keeping it from booting up....i was thinking (since i happen to have a duplicate phone) that i could make a backup of the same exact phone in twrp and put it on the sd card, switch it to the bricked phone...recovery mode...apply update from phone storage...and bam...that shoulod work! right?
the only thing is....can you put twrp on this phone yet? there is really no development on it at all
so here are the questions i need answered
does anyone have a stock rom of this phone they could put in this thread?
can i get the stock rom straight from alcatel?
has anyone got twrp or cwm recovery onto this phone
i have never bricked a phone and not been able to fix it...i refuse this to be the one

same thing here, except I can't boot into recovery or download. fflashcustom custom twrp from the aforementioned. still won't boot into recovery, hangs at the alacatel logo. what I did was hold down volume and power til it reboots 3&4 times, than it seems to boot back to a android. I even tried the factory restore and it wouldn't do that either. *shrug* imma hafta do more research and find out wtf. but ya, that should fix your sh*t. also. and haven't found the boost stock rom yet either. it's a custom rom, it's not actually lollipop.

I couldn't find the Alcatel Onetouch Conquest 7046t listed in the list of devices on this site at all, other than in a few posts. Maybe people don't think it's a worthy device to work on? Anyway, enough of that rant, what I would like to contribute here is that I tried using kingroot for my old Motorola xt912 which I had install Dirty Unicorns KitKat ROM on successfully, but lost root on. First it said it couldn't root it, then, after trying again, said it could. I started receiving alerts from Avast staying it has detected viruses, and it seemed to install it's own version of super user, when I already had the one by chain installed.. Which struck me as suspect activity and rose yet more red flags.
I also find it suspect that the users posting here on this thread seem to only be newbies.
Any thoughts or feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
P.S. .. And yes, I am interested in rooting this phone, debloating it, installing custom rooms, etc.

Rusty, it's possible that the reason your phone bricked is that it was not fully/properly rooted in the first place. So when SuperSu tried to Un-kingroot it, something went terribly wrong. By the way, had you remembered to turn Developer Options on and set USB Debugging on before running the KingRoot app?
Anyway, there are a couple of options to easily unbrick since you have an identical device.
Note that you can't unbrick by installing TWRP or CWM on your working device, then flashing the bricked device, UNLESS you already have the same custom recovery installed on the bricked device and can boot into that recovery. These recoveries do not provide their backups as a flashable zip, nor are they compatible with each other, which is why you need the identical custom recovery on the bricked phone.
Here is how you can unbrick your device. Go to Alcatel's website and download and install their Mobile Upgrade S software - you will find the link in the support tab for most of their models (or use Google to find it). This is the official Alcatel tool that you would use to flash their stock ROMs onto your bricked phone.
That's the easy method. But if you want a learning adventure, let's pull out your working device. Lol. Go ahead and root it with the King Root app. You may have to try several times to get it fully and properly rooted. Make sure you run a root checker app to confirm that it's rooted. Do not use the SuperSu Me utility yet.
Once you've confirmed it's rooted, install busybox. I prefer the Busy Box X app from Rob Nedi over Stericson's.
Ok, so now we want to install the MTK Droid Tools on your computer. On your phone, make sure USB Debugging is still on. Now connect your phone to the computer and let the drivers for the phone automatically install. Once the drivers are installed, run MTK Droid. It should automatically detect your phone. Next select the Blocks Map button. Then save the scatter.txt file it gives you. Make a folder somewhere because you're going to next use SP Flash Tool to backup the ROM from your phone.
Use Google and XDA to learn how to use MTK Droid and SPF. Here's a helpful link:
http://freaktab.com/forum/mtk-based-devices/mtk-phones/13919-some-useful-tools-for-mtk-phones
Once you've installed SPF on your computer and created the ROM_0 readback of your ROM, go back to MTK Droid Tools and let it break the ROM_0 down into all the partitions that are contained in the ROM. You do this on the root.backup.recovery tab of MTK Droid. Select the "To Process File ROM From Flash Tool". Note that during this process, the Tool will give you the option to create the ClowWorkMod recovery for your phone!
Once the ROM partition files are created by MTK Droid, place them in that folder you created. At this point, you can use SPF to flash the stock ROM to your bricked phone. This will unbrick your phone.
(There's an even simpler way to unbrick your phone with SPF. Instead of backing up the entire ROM of your working phone with SPF and then processing that ROM woth MTK Droid, in this case, you will just READBACK the ROM up to the recovery partition and no further. Then do a direct MEMORY WRITE of that partial ROM to your bricked phone. This will unbrick it. But this approach will not allow you to create the CWM recovery.)
Finally, once you've unbricked your phone, you can install either the Flashify or Rashr app on your phone, and use that to flash the CWM recovery image you just made with MTK Droid onto your phone's recovery partition. I usually also flash the boot_patched boot image, which was also created by MTK Droid, to the boot/kernel partition.
Long post, but I wasn't sure if you were up to an adventure. Please note that there is always a risk that you brick your working device if you make a dumb mistake along the way. It's going to be really hard to brick your working phone because you're pretty much just reading from it and not writing anything to it except when you are rooting it....but just be careful. You've been warned. Lol. But I suspect that like me, a bricked device is just a learning challenge. So enjoy.
Don't forget to thank me!

Rusty they sent that phone to you special delivery from HELL! They're just testing you, bro. Lol
But seriously, I think if you could somehow get the scatter.txt for the demon (without having to risk rooting and bricking a good one), then it would be possible to use SP Flash to simply read back the ROM of a properly working phone (up to and including the recovery partition) then simply do a direct memory write onto any bricked device. Should wake it up immediately after the flash. The only exception would be if the custpack partition had something really stupid done to it...like someone messing with the buildprop.txt file! That would put it into a head-spinning bootloop.
So the key here for this demon is for someone on this thread to post the scatter.txt file PLUS a working stock ROM. Is there anyone out there who has already successfully rooted who can post a ROM? Or at least post the scatter.txt?

i tried rooting the new alcatel the same exact way ( usb debugging was enabled both times) and ended up bricking it....i was doing this for my friend...we ended up just going to boost and telling them that there was a defect in the phone they gave him the day before and told them to give him the moto e ( which has so much developement on it its insane)
anyways my friend just gave me the other bricked alcatel one touch conquest and said that if i can fix it i can have it. so i no longer have a duplicate device to work with . can i even flash a stock rom with the original recovery ? im going to try to download the program from alcatels website like you said and see if that works
then if i get it working im going to get the program you were talking about where u said i can make a clockworkmod recovery for it....

strike the alcatel mobile upgrade S off the list of possibilities...
first of all.... the alcatel onetouch conquest 7046t is not even listed in supported devices, and when i downloaded/ installed mobile upgrade to my windows computer it said " pick your device " and it wasdnt listed in the dropdown menu there either
i still tried selecting the 7047 , because it was closest to 7046, and tried to run the program and it just said it was scaning my device for an ungodly amount of time
so im looking for other methods

Uh oh! I think I see the problem here. The Conquest runs a QUALCOMM chip! All along, I've been running with the assumption that this Alcatel was running the MTK chipset. Everything I've described here is thus for naught! Those tools, like SPF and MTK Droid, only work with phones that use the MTK platform. They will not even recognize the Conquest.
My sincere apologies, but I don't even know what tools would even work with this sucker. Oh my God... I'm beside myself with embarrassment...I can't believe I made such a serious mistake.

Did you get full root with KingRoot? Do your root apps actually work properly? Please confirm as others have reported that the root with KingRoot did not function properly or with all root apps.
Another question several people have is where to get the flashable stock firmware for this phone?

It's a shame the Blu Vivo 8L came with Blu's own ugly skin. I was hoping they would have released the phone with stock android like the Blu R1 HD was. Also, I've noticed the phone doesn't let you use a different launcher other then the one that came pre-installed with the phone (Launcher3). I tried installing Nova and it worked till I rebooted the phone. I also noticed a feature in the DEV menu I haven't seen before in a BLU phone (at the least the one's i've owed) OEM Unlocking. It should be fairly easy to unlock the bootloader but the problem is a TWRP recovery hasn't been made for the device yet. I'm trying to root the phone myself and with no luck so far.

Devs rarely post ETAs, they post when it's done, or looking for testers.
Asking for ETAs is considered rude.
Watch the forums it will be posted when/if it's ready.

About TWRP question:

Just a quick question. Can we extract the stock boot.img and patch it using Magisk to obtain root? Or do we need TWERP? Cause' I'm looking at the forum for Magisk and I see a section regarding obtaining root without the use of root/custom recovery and was simply wondering if we could that with the Blu Vivo 8L. I do not have much experience with modifying Android/obtaining root so I wouldn't know. It's better to ask the professionals.

You can decide what you want. Any action will be at your own risk.
What I can suggest for inexperienced users is: always do something with safety!
In this context, modifiyng in the boot.img stock and believe that the original recovery will let any process like ROOT go in without interfering can cause the system to not boot. Therefore, you must have experience to revive the phone.
If the original recovery (which has script to block ROOT) let the process of ROOT enter, then you will have no problem (which I believe will not happen). But anyway it's 50% chance for every situation. Keep in mind that it is often necessary to know if the bootloader is locked (necessary to perform the unlocking process) or unlocked.
The safest way to get ROOT (currently I know) is to have a Custom Recovery, make a backup of the files of your phone, save this backup in PC/Laptop/Notebook/Cloud/MicroSD, etc....
Then you can modify any part of the system on your phone, to ROOT, Xposed, etc.... So if something goes wrong, you have the backup files to use with Custom Recovery and revive the phone more easily (if the process with the SPFT does not work or you not know how use that - and it is also more annoying).
Well, it's always better to ask than to do something without information. If you still want to confirm the ROOT process directly by modifying the boot.img stock, remember the first part of this message.
So, :fingers-crossed:

Oh thank you for letting me know. I'm using the vivo as my main phone and would only like to try and root it if I know for a fact that it will work or at least I'am able to revive the phone easily. I just really wish I could root it right now so I can install Xposed, block ads, hack apps, etc. Unfortunately it can be done as of yet... oh well I guess all I need to do is wait. :fingers-crossed:

I have a TWRP Recovery that I just ported to the Vivo 8L. Unfortunately, my Vivio 8L no longer works after taking a trip to the bottom of my pool and I was unable to test it . Does anyone have a Vivo 8L they are willing to flash the recovery with?
bump
This phone is dead.

Btw, do you have the device tree up on github? If I do get the device I might get my hands on it, never done anything on mtk but there's always a first time

I did make one, but I lost it to a faulty HardDisk
I am actually working with the kernel as of now
Once I am done with a proper Kernel Source, I'll start working with the other components [device tree, etc.], and yeah it would a lot of time..
I am done with the drivers, just the dtb part left. Hope to complete it soon!
But that said, in my country internet is costly and building a ROM may take time..

Nice, today I'm getting the device, hope it's not dead lol.
I have final exams this month but if the device is alive as soon as I finish them I might be able to give you a hand .
My local server is dead tho, I think it's the PS. Tomorrow I'll test it with another old PS, let's hope it's that

What made it boot loop? Just turn off your phone and try entering recovery mode. If not, try factory mode (Vol - + Power). If your phone goes to a boot loop, it's a software issue and a hardware issue..

The device is quite smashed lol, the chassis has its curve so my guess is it has damaged the mother. My other theory is that the curve is false pressing the power button or not letting me press it at all so when I am able to turn it on, as it's already being pressed it forces shutdown. However I see this last option quite unlikely because when it's charging it never reaches a onlycharge mode, it stays powered off
