[Q] Is this the right tool to start and one more question

Hello SGSII community! I come from a far and ancient land called SGS4G community.
I just want to say that I will be playing with my friends phone so I want to take every precaution.
(1) While before I started asking this question, I was browsing your forums to find the right place to start, is this tool the correct way to "hack" my friends SGSII (Yes it is T-mobile).
(2) I also want to ask that since I am an owner of the SGS4G and I do have some drivers installed related to my device and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly. Could I just plug-in my friends SGSII in another USB port or do I have to uninstall drivers?

It only takes a few minutes to dl and install drivers. I have the S2 and my bro the S 4g and I do know I can plug his phone into my PC and do whatever - whether or not it works the other way around I am not sure. Also, depending on your version of Windows it should automatically detect the device and install drivers - although that may be just for charging and USB purposes...
Also, you can use that toolkit or ODIN to root your phone. After that you will want to use the TWRP recovery to flash any custom goodness as that is a very tried and tested method with little to no issues. Good Luck.

TCL P600 / Alcatel One Touch Snap 7025D Root and GAPPS

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?

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.

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.

ROOTED/TWRP device upgrade to NI1

Hi, I have read some threads and there're few questions about if the device is rooted or rooted with twrp installed and wondering what's the best way to upgrade with minimum impact. So I took the plunge and here it is:
If your device is rooted or rooted with twrp installed, when you try to use OTA you will received a message "your device has been modified, upgrade is not available..." something like that. So the best way is to use Samsung Skies3 (must use Skies3). First download Skies3 to your PC and install it. This installation will also install USB driver for your device. At the end of the installation, it will ask if you want the unified driver, answer NO, cause you don't need it. Now plug in your usb cable while your device is on, the software will detects your device and prompt you for new firmware update, click OK, it will shutdown your device and put it in download mode, now you just sit back, relax and enjoy. The process took me about 15-20min. After your device will reboot, at this time you can remove the usb cable. After the device boot up, here is what I found:
1) Your TWRP is wipe clean - need to reinstall
2) Your Root Supersu is also wipe clean - need to re-root.
3) Android version is 4.4.2, kernel is newer dated Sep 3
3) All your apps and settings are intact - NICE!!
4) Chromcast UI crashing is FIXED. - NICE!!
5) Video flickering is also FIXED - I have tried to watch the HD stream video where it flickering and stutter is now streaming beautifully.-NICE!!
6) Noticeable, my device is faster and smoother with power saving mode on and super quick with power saving mode off, also it took 15 sec to boot up from hitting the power button - Also web browser is quicker and smoother - I can connected to 5ghz wifi without any problem - NICE!!
In my opinion, I think this is well worth to upgrade. I will update this thread as I find out more - like battery life or any other good or bad things and I hope this will help to answer some of the questions out there.

Great work man. I will also try to install thru kies. Never done that before

I installed with Odin, had to re-root and re-flash TWRP, but definitely worth it.
After one day it would seem battery life is a little better.

I used this method:

It's almost...too easy. Thanks for the heads up. Worked out well. Reinstalling Viper4android driver was the most trouble as usual recently. Otherwise very smooth in place upgrade.

LG Optimus G E971 (Rogers) - Bricked_Help

Alright ... after 2.x years I yet again pickup this beauty.
Unfortunately the one I got is nowhere near the one I had from my old employer, this one was $80 and has seen much better days, but I figured I'd get back into looking what Android had to offer, for me.
So I take a look and I realize I HATE KitKat ... horrible standard OS and if LG keeps doing this to the Android OS it would suck!
Ok ... so I do the following:
Root using SuperSU ... sweet.
I download to the PC FreeGee - realizing no longer needed after 2hrs last night but I'm tired and I say screw it.
So I download FreeGee directly on the LG ... Bootloader unlocked. Sweet.
I copy the zip file for the CM 12.1 for Android 5.1, I think it's for 5.1 but the subsequent events may tell I'm wrong.
(File: cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb)
Now, device installs the OS and reboots successfully. Sweet jesus this looks beautiful! I navigate around the menu and I think all is good and a few icons I have no clue what is going on with the one in the tray on the bottom right.
So I launch it and it goes through first page of info and I realize it's Google's Camera which saves everything in the cloud ... NOT a fan of that, and there is a check box to disable location information I disable it.
I exit the Google Camera app and then the screen goes blank. I see 3 Red LED blinks in the notification light and 6hrs later I STILL cannot power it on!!!
1. Can't power it on!
2. Can't get Bootloader to show up (the one with the Android heart exposed)!!
EEEK.
3. Just the damn LED blinking, consistent blink!!
4. I try Volume UP/DOWN buttons, connect USB to the G, then to Win7 and nothing!
I suspect Google Camera trying to connect to Google's services which may NOT be in CM12.1 for this device. I also suspect since I installed the CM12.1 with the USB connected it tried to connect using ADP, which I feel it KEEPS doing in Win7. I have the factory drivers and the updated drivers NOTHING fully works; just the connect then immediate disconnect chime in Win7.
Files I have: (I'm using Win7 64bit)
These files I've all acquired through various threads there.
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S52MAN314AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.14.1.exe
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip (SuperSU to root)
cm-12.1-20150521-UNOFFICIAL-geeb.zip (This was installed before going dead with LED blinking Red.
LGMobileSupportTool.exe (because I do NOT have the S/N, it's in the OS which will NOT boot I cannot download the original OS from LG's servers, arrrgh!)
LG-KK-4.4.2-Intl-Cdn.zip (supposedly the original OS yet HOW the FUNK can I load this onto the LG if I cannot see anything on the screen? Hmmmkay ...
so does this mean I've got a permabrick and i'm fubar'd? IF not would anyone please led an assist, please would you?
Thank you kindly, in advance.

MediaTek S4 Clone: Soft Bricked With Working Buttons

Need desperate help with a MediaTek clone of S4
Hi everyone,
I will try and keep it short but last night I was badly scammed by a wonderful specimen of the human race, who wanted to sell his old Samsung S4. Turns out:
1. Its a mediatek clone
2. It has more issues than anticipated but all buttons work.
3. Seem to be soft bricked
Now I am facing nothing but patience to try and fix it. What works:
1. All buttons seem functional.
2. The phone boots into normal mode where I have only empty screen with a Phone app. The Phone app opens I can enter digits but cannot dial.
3. I can reboot into Factory mode - I performed all the tests of the device and all were a PASS. I heard the sounds, checked the cam, everything seems to be perfectly working. Touch scree, camera, sound etc. Even noticed it had FM.
I tried booting in Download Mode - no success. I get the dead Android image and it just hangs there. I can easy reboot though.
My PC recognizes the device and opens a media (empty) device folder.
I tried thus far to use SP Flash but....I dont know how to. Nothing is happening.
Of course I spent 6 hours waiting on different stock ROMs for S4 before realizing its a MediaTek device.
And now, here I am desperately asking if anyone could help me, if there is a chance to remedy that situation of mine. I dont need the phone to do anything special. The closer it is to a Samsung Android ROM - awesome. If its other, I dont mind at all. So long as it works and has access to Google Play Store.
Thank you geniuses and wonderful people for any hint you might have.

Hi
I had a similar issue couple of yrs ago with an S3 clone.
First thing u need to knw is the mtk version, memory details (RAM & ROM) and screen resolution to find a suitable OS version.
If ur lucky, ull get the stock ROM from the manufacturer on Google or else ull hafta search on xda, needrom, or the Chinese forums. Most of such devices don't have a lot of development so ull hafta port ROMs so a custom recovery will b helpful
Hope these points help
Sent from my YU5510 using Tapatalk

Ok.
So I need:
Device RAM
Device ROM
Mtk Version
I think I can extract these from the Factory Mode. Will check.
Then I need to get the stock ROM (hopefully) or search for a custom ROM. (Manufacturer I suppose we talk about MediaTek and not Samsung?)
Custom Recovery - yeah, usually this is the first thing I install but how do I do this on a cloned mtk? I suppose ODIN wont work. Can you lastly point me to a link or name of software to use instead of ODIN? (or will it work with ODIN?)
