hey all,
ive been a member for a while, but have never posted. i usually am always reading and trying to keep up with updates, and how to's... i am currently running liberated Aria FROO8 (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-Liberty), and have been for some time. i am nervous usually when it comes to rom updates, so i dont update constantly (if anyone has a great rom i should update to, please dont hesitate to shout it out). the problem was when i decided to update to Clockworkmod recovery 3.2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
now, my computer does not recognize my phone, and will only charge the phone. i have tried to reinstall unrevoked, but when i go through the steps, my device manager or registers it as My Htc, and i cannot update using the drivers i downloaded. it seems that its the computer not accepting the phone and not the phone restricting anything. please, please, can someone help, i need to be able to access my phone on my computer, and i have read all 33 pages of the forum thread i linked above. what do i need to do? is there a way to uninstall the recovery 3.2? if i were to upgrade to a new ROM, would the computer still not recognize the computer. i realize as well, after the fact, that i installed the recovery meant for the Desire.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your post, but if I've read correctly you have an Aria, not a Desire HD. You shouldn't flash the CWM you linked to - it's compiled specifically for the Desire HD. I'm not sure how you would get a working unrevoked back on your phone - it might be better to ask in the Aria forums.
Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.
Thanks again for posting so quickly. i am gonna post my same problem on the Aria page, and hopefully i can find someone who knows. the only reason i posted here, was because i got the CWM on the page that i linked, someone mentioned roughly the same problem i had:
"When i plug in the USB cable it says " Fastboot USB "
and my windows gives a popup " Device Driver Not correctly installed "
plus it seemed to be the computer that wasn't allowing the device to be found and installed. just to clear up my problem: it was exactly what you said, i downloaded and tried to install CWM 3.2 on an Aria phone, and i think the computer is waiting for me to plug in a Desire. Since i have the Aria, it cannot. hopefully i can get this fixed.
thanks again
sullylove
on my post to Aria Q/A i added this:
how can i get my computer to recognize this Aria without having to reboot everything and try to start from scratch, does anyone know if i need to reinstall CWM and which one would work for me. when i plugged my phone after install, its states that device driver not installed correctly. then when i run through the instructions loacated here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how...droid-devices/
and here:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/do...driver_install
and neither load a correct driver onto my computer, my computer does not register it as Other Device/Android 1.0, it registers it as My Htc.
hopefully it will clear things up
sullylove
is there also a way to delete the CWM 3.2 i installed on the computer, i cant seem to find it anywhere, where would it be
To be honest, any advice I could give might not be correct for the Aria. I imagine that you could flash an RUU and start again from scratch with unrevoked, but there may be a simpler way to restore the correct recovery. Your best bet is really the Aria forums. I hope you get it working!
As for removing the CWM from your PC, it depends how you installed it. Some of the recoveries come as a zip file, so look for where you downloaded it to and possibly a folder with the same name as the zip.
i rooted my device but some games wont play like need for speed and asphalt 7 so i installd and its the last thing i did on my device (chainfire3d) then my device reboot and keep reboot wont open help please wait for answer
Sounds like this is a very similar problem to something someone else posted in the last few days. Take a look through the last couple of days posts in this forum and see if you can see it. The general suggestion if i remember right was to use ODIN to fix.

Read before you install, chain fire 3d does not work with jellybean 4.1.
I think the description in the play store also said enough
Amazes me why people dont read ?
It clrearly says not for jelly bean
You need to find your desired stock rom and flash it via odin. Only solution
Why do you install things which aren't supported?
It's the first thing people should do when installing unconfirmed stuff.
Chainfire 3D isn't supported for JB.
What you need to do now is go into DOWNLOAD mode, and flash your stock ROM via Odin, if you want official.
thanks all its my mistake am new , and i said sorry for my note lmao , well now i need to search for good custom room
i download nandroid and platinum backup and i backup my apps&system wz data got .gz files i think on my sd-card and got nandroid backup on my sd-card (nandroid back up like 4 files) one of them .md5 and its 1kb others .tar 500mb and 700mb cach and system and est i think didnt remember they are on my sd-card is that help me by odin ? because i cant open my device any way my only solution by odin mode but is there any file in my back up files can help ? forget i tried to restore my device by nandroid.md5 and odin closed not response , dont say iam lucky new in android world understand nothing for now
You don't need to flash custom ROM, bro. If you want official rom, just go to sammobile.com, find the firmware of your country and flash it through odin. There, you have official stock ROM again.
Also your English is extremely hard to understand. Try to use commas and full-stops.
Hello all I am in a bit of a situation.
This is the second time I have posted regarding me causing my galaxy note 2 to be out of order. Today I used TWRP to wipe my OS then also deleted all of my data wiping the os's I had downloaded. I only have a Mac thus the help for Mac's and Android is very limited thus I am wondering if there would be any way to get this fixed without using a Windows computer right now my phone is stuck rebooting.
Sorry to bother you all again,
Max
I don't know if I understand your post fully, but... It sounds like you wiped the device, and wiped the ROM that you downloaded? I've seen this increasingly lately.
Anyways..
Download another ROM and place it on an external SD card. You'll need an adapter to be able to hook the SD up to the computer. Or just borrow someone's SD. (just don't wipe it too)
Put the SD in and flash the ROM. just shut the phone off and when you're ready, use the three button combo to get back to TWRP.
Please hit the triangle on the side of your post and report it for thread maintenance to be moved. This thread (A question thread) belongs in the Q&A section.

With a Mac, not that I know of.
Give it a few hours and maybe someone with higher knowledge of mac+android will chime in.
The phone is blank right now, I would hesitate to even try to turn it on. You could use windows and Odin. You might be able to adb the files to the device..But that is more learning/hassle than the SD. Using the SD is really the easiest.
I'd let you borrow mine but shipping would take a while (haha)
I have an iMac and have the same problem. Android file transfer doesn't even recognize my device for MTP transfer. But I have four other windows machines here, so no biggie for me.
How would you go about doing it using windows?

Install Odin and grab the stock OS files
Place the phone into download
And push the stock os to the phone
It would be as if you were going back to full stock.
There are numerous guides on how to do it.
Here are a bunch of resources:

Exactly what I do! Parallels 7 does the trick for me if my windows box has a non specific color screen of death.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
For ATT they all seem to be in .zip file format yet you cant use that with odin so how would i go about doing this?
How do you place a file directly into a directory so i can use recovery to flash it on?!
I have been searching the forum and google and have been unable to reach a solution yet.
I am not a noob, but i am not an expert either so use small words ha.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 5210 with the most recent OTA update.
Last night I attempted to root my device using this:
androidxda (DOT) com/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-10-1-gt-p5210
It claimed successful and my device started to reboot and hung up at the Samsung GALAXY TAB 3 screen. I am unable to get to recovery mode on the device. Only able to go to download mode. I have tried several options but have been unable to find a way to flash it successfully. The flashes i have tried downloading were all in .zip and that obviously isn't able to be used in Odin. I have researched how to convert the files into a .tar but I don't have linux. Can someone please help me because I need my tablet. I know it can be saved but I can't seem to locate the answers. I am also getting concerned that it is unable to charge the battery being in the condition it is in now so I am trying to conserve the battery on the tablet until it is absolutely needed. Thanks.

First of all - Welcome to xda
Your tab is soft bricked, something has gone wrong with your system files... Honestly it seems like you know enough to get it done, but are struggling a bit with the file formats. You are correct in saying that Odin won't use zip files, but you shouldn't have to convert anything to tar or download linux! If you extract the zip files, you should find a .tar or .tar.md5 file (inside the zip file) that Odin can use, put it in the PDA mode box, etc etc... If your downloads don't have the correct files inside them, try THIS thread.
Let me know if you get it sorted :good:

I had already tried the method and file in the forum you linked me to. It failed almost instantly. That's when I turned everything off and tossed it all to the back seat of my work truck before it got thrown at the windshield. I keep seeing people saying they have trwp or whatever. I don't even know what that is haven't researched that. Is it something i need as well?
I've never successfully rooted a Samsung device. I used to do this stuff a lot back with the droid x with Linux and everything was pretty simple. Does Samsung change their bootloader with each update like Motorola did then? I was wondering that when trying to install a firmware of a previous version that maybe that was the problem.
All I wanted root for was to just tweak some things and be happy. It has turned into a nightmare.
C,
hi,
the consistent/common thread of this problem is/seems to be taking the ota and trying unverified/gimmicky
root methods.
there are recoveries for the gt-p52xx in the tab 10.1 forum
the majority of samsung devices root as follows;
if a custom recovery exist, flash it.
then download recent or latest version of chainfire's supersu update zip, reboot to recovery
backup your rom first, then flash supersu, if everything goes well, once you have set up your stock rom with root in place
make a new backup.
samsung ota's are death incarnate, reject them.
goto the tab 10 forum and get busy ! you said it yourself, you're not a noob, you know the drill. :good:

I have tried the recoveries in the forum and it failed seconds after starting.
I don't do this stuff regularly as I don't hardly have the time. I haven't done anything of this nature in years so I'm well out of the loop on things..

okay, hmm, when you say it fails, do you mean odin fails to flash and if so what is the reason/ouput ?
or do you mean that you are now in a recovery bootloop ?
note- though i go the full route of packing recovery.img's for odin flashing, the md5 checksum always seems to
come up as invalid, the working "remedy" is to remove the .md5 extension from the "odin-flashable-recovery".tar.md5 file
by renaming the file to "odin-flashable-recovery".tar
odin will no longer attempt the checksum verification but the recovery file will flash.
make sure you have samsung-usb-drivers for windows installed. on the main page of my devhost archive [link is in my signature]
you will find the tools you need. the possible problem is that the ota you installed may have overwritten your bootloader, for that i don't
have a reliable fix, so if anything make sure you also have the stock recovery ready to go as well as supersu update zip
already downloaded onto your device for rooting.
after you flash the custom recovery [with auto-restart in odin disabled] run the flash and wait for the res-ok message, give it another second or two then disconnect the tab and force reboot to recovery, home,vol-up and power, once in recovery make a full backup, then flash supersu zip and reboot, if you do go into recovery loop, force reboot to odin mode, home,vol-down and power, follow the on screen instruction, now reconnect your tab to pc and use odin to flash back stock recovery.

Okay guys I appreciate the help. I finally got it. I tried the method on Zachisimo's post on unbricking and finally got it installed.
After it installed, it left me with a bootloop and I was actually able to go into recovery mode this time and do a factory data reset and wipe cache then everything went well. I am a happy dude now.
Going to attempt rooting it again and does anyone have any suggestions on what ROM to install? I have never used any custom ROM's before so that is a new area for me. Feeling more confident knowing how to save it from the dead. :good::good::good:

If you use it then thats what i shall try. First i gotta find a root, then I have seen many people recommend philz recovery, and then the rom?
question why does Restl3ss say wait 10minutes after installing a rom before doing anything?

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!

I'm not a newbie y
Ya I've been doin this for awhile and have an extensive list of phones I have rooted, debloated, installed custom roms on etc....and I have never had as much trouble with a device as I have with this phone....this pos phone isn't even on their site! I got another phone from boost (same one) And did the same root method....bricked it.....but I still have the one bricked phone....waiting for a stock ROM

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?
