k,
no offense, but your post is wildly disrespectful. [frowny face]
you are basically putting the proper ownership of your error off on others.
to be fair, in your ignorance you flashed a firmware without first doing some research on the topic.
a noobish mistake, it happens, i've done it.
there were plenty of threads created prior to your experience warning of new samsung releases
overwriting bootloaders and how to navigate the issue.
from my interaction with you, i think i am accurate in saying you did not do the aforementioned research.
i for one took time to describe a way to "fix" your issue. You chose not to attempt it, which is fair. It is risky.
Cool.
However, lots of the users you've interacted with on xda have a fair to expert handle on how to get things done.
they do what they can to help, they cannot be expected to compensate for another's impatience, lack of attention
to detail and/or incompetence/ineptitude.

What are you talking about i am not blaming a single soul for anything, i have been flashing roms and firmwares for years now. Somehow something went wrong and i am asking for help. I flashed the official firmware from sammobile for the sm t210r i booted into stock recovery and factory reset. And still i get the same results don't take pleading for direspect i am just frustrated not with anyone but with the tablet believe me it wasn't like this a month ago

hmm,
okay, different approach.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
just a refresher.
now,
screenshots of directories are next to useless.
what's needed is , at the very least a logcat.
to get that or anything else moving you need,
custom recovery installed.
root.
busybox.
adb setup properly on pc.
the ability to describe you problem in words other than my thing doesn't work.
the sense not to keep creating thread after thread concerning the same issue.
if you are that insistent on undoing what you have done, my previous suggestion to you is probably the best bet.
if you want "Professional" help then seek a repair service.
Savvy?

Gee thanks for the video very eye opening. Will post a logcat then i have all the things u mentioned recovery,adb etc all i require is clear steps to follow into fixing this lil issue and i will b a happy camper.

k,
okay, cool. sorry for being so rough on you.
i am downloading a copy of 4.4.2 firmware though linking me to the firmware
you initially flashed would be good.
what would be better is if you still have the firmware file crack it open with 7zip and get me a list
of the files [.img, .bin] inside.
run logcat after you boot up. attach to post as text file
then run your routine to where you get your issue, fc's etc and run logcat again and post as text [2]
m
okay it looks like i am not going to be downloading the 4.4.2 firmware.
downloads break from the one source i found
and i have no interest in joining the other site. that's bull****.
so if you can get me the list of files contained in the realease that would be helpful.
OK bro I narrowed it down to it not being a ROM or firmware issue here is my log, the firmware that I flashed was from sammobile its a tar file and 7zip can't open it. Currently i am on tranchikat 1.8 the " unfortunately app stops" still persist its not really force closes its stops hope you can deduce something off the log and again thanks very much bro it doesnt matter how long it takes.

i am going to guess you are trying to run a battery/governor tweaker ?
i am going to guess when you type getenforce in terminal
your output will be enforcing.
i am guessing when you resend your logcat you will do so after
typing su
and then
logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
if my guesses as to the app and selinux are correct you;
a- need to let the app go into the dustbin of history
b- need to look for a tutorial on dumping/unpacking/customizing/repacking/reflashing your boot.img
in order to disable selinux and make it stick.
if my guesses are wrong it is because;
the log you posted is super-lame [sorry] use your terminal, not a catlog app.
you have yet to tell me what app are giving you your headache. in which event is an issue between you
and the app's developer.
lastly you should be question the developer of the rom.
m
Bro its not any specific app I'll give you an example. Say I am going to settings doing whatever all of a sudden boom "unfortunately settings have stopped". Say I am on my browser browsing a way I go to my bookmarks boom " unfortunately internet has stop". It does it randomly not evrytime but at random "unfortunately touchwiz has stopped" etc the apps will close an I can start them again and they will run normally until another random stop. I have tried all costom Roms on here and still have the issue so I know its not a ROM problem, I have flashed my stock firmware both 4.1.2 and 4.4.2 and it persist so that rules out it being those either. But I will do what u said and use terminal to get the log. So far what I can tell its not the apps nor the ROM nor the kernel that is causing the stops and random reboots.

okay, this ---> android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL is the ballbuster.
it's connected to , from what i've read so far , a maybe faulty root and multiuser.
what version supersu are you using ? unroot and then reroot trying from version 1.97 maybe to 1.99.
kill multiuser and clear out any suspect accounts in settings. will post back if i find something more conclusive.
you can jump in as well by searching the error i mentioned.

QUESTION - THIS IS A JELLYBEAN ROM ? seems to be a jellybean issue...
EDIT-EDIT i found this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...card-app-data-to-extsdcard-tw-t2178863/page16
read that page looking specifically at the portion concerning /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
you may need to add/edit the line for
android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
with the proper uid [user identification] meaning the right number/symbol for root,shell,ewok, etc.
the entry looks something like this;
<assign-permission name="android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL" uid="shell" />
and remember to reset the file's permissions correctly - 644
Nah it happens on both jellybean and KitKat for me I don't think its the root because when I flash the official samsung firmware through Odin it is basically unrooted and the problems persist
iI tell you when it first started. I was on jellybean then the kitkat update for the sm-t210r came out, I flashed it via Odin and from then it started
So naturally I downgraded back to jellybean but the issue it stayed, so that's basically the history of the random app stops and random reboots.

and i had problem logging on with my google acount and my facebook app didn't work neither!!!!!when i try to open facbook it shows me that massage again!!!!
I was trying to help someone figure out this issue earlier with no luck. Sounds like a bug with the Rom. The only thing I didn't have him check was the kernel he was using. Can you tell me what kernel comes with the Rom. Also if it is cfs or bfs.

Hello,
You didn't say if you super wiped your phone before flashing new rom.
According to Mike it's optional but recommended.
Maybe that's the case?
Unless you did super wipe. Then maybe mods, you've installed, are causing problems?
I also flashed 6.3.1 yesterday and to be honest I don't have any problems with this rom so far.

That's why you search and read. I told you ylhow to find the issue and the first steps to trouble shoot it. I understand you are new but that doesn't let you not to your own trouble shooting first. Go back to my last post and read what I said. Try the TS steps and if that doesn't work run a logcat. A search will show you how to do it. To help you people here need to know excatly what you did. Every single thing and unless you try the basic troubleshooting how is anyone supposes to help you.

If you cant do a simple search maybe a custom rom is not for you. Custom roms will never be bug free and may require you to do some basic trouble shooting. No I will not tell you how to do the basics step by step. That is not what we do here. I just spent 10 sec searching on how to do a logcat and lookie what i found.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818084
Now in all seriousness. Flashing roms to your phone is not a simple thing. While yes we make it easy please understand what you are doing before you do it. Custom roms are not for every one. Sometimes it takes hours if not days to fix an issue that pops up. hours upon hours of reading. If you cant devote the time and energy needed to do this maybe you should really rethink running a custom rom.

Or simply this (for logcat) https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&feature=search_result&hl=en
But it seems like you had a bad flash. Try to wipe everything n flash again.
Re-download the ROM, if it says 6.2.0 not 6.3.1 you have an early version with a small error in it. It wouldn't cause the problem you've described but it does display the wrong version number.
Then when you have downloaded the ROM, make sure you check the md5 checksum to be sure the file downloaded correctly: http://bit.ly/s8AqiC
Then as others have said, superwipe and re-flash. Good luck.
I have super wiped and then flash my rom and then my kernel,it worked fine without eror!
I THink the problem was "Revolution_HD_6.1.x_batterymod_Glow_by_Nieass" this mod!!!now I have installed every thing except this mod and it works fine!!thank you all
but it is written 6.20 instead of 6.3.1!!!
the md5sum of file that i have downloaded is different from the md5sum that is written in arhd page!!!but the file name was the same!!!!!
I have to redownload it??
I have checked 6.20 & 6.3.1 that i have downloaded md5 checksum and their not the same!!!
when i flashed this new 6.3.1,all the apps that are updated as it tolled in arhd page!!!i'm redownloading it again tonight!to find out the issue
Yes, re-download it - but you don't have to superwipe again, just flash it over the top.
The changes from the ROM with the wrong version in "About phone" to the correct 6.3.1 zip were very small, and don't require a wipe before flashing. The main difference (possibly the only one) is the version number that displays in Settings.
And please don't use any more mods for 6.1.x or 6.2.x, only use versions for 6.3.x, as it can cause problems. I think Nieass said he will be updating his mods, so just keep an eye on his thread. Lots more mods will come for the new 6.3.x ROM, I'm sure, now that we have a final version of the official HTC base.
It's been written many times not to flash mods for older versions, so you could have saved yourself some pain by reading more on the forums first. Also as zelendel said, you need to provide more information explaining things when you have a problem. jerras asked in the 3rd post if you had flashed any mods, and if you had answered him then I'm sure someone would have been able to tell you what was wrong. People on these forums are very clever, but they aren't psychic and can't know what you've done unless you tell them.
Just remember - read as much as you can before you flash things, and if you ask for help give as much information as possible about what you've done. But I'm glad it's working for you now.
you are right!!
I'll give you more info if any thing happens again!!!!

Hi guys,
I am using a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and am having a lot of trouble with the device constantly crashing and rebooting.
when this first happened these are the steps i took.
i completely wiped the device (factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition, format system)
i then flashed Baseband 77 using flashtool
i then flashed fxp149 using flashtool
i then flashed Baseband 77 libs using CWM
i then flashed AOKP JB M1-R1 ROM using CWM
i then flashed gapps using CWM
i the reloaded all apps from the market and not applied any backups and yet it still rebooted all the time.
Since then i have tried using
Fusion 3.8
Fusion 3.9
Fusion 4.0
FXP 148
FXP 150
Stock Kernel inside ROM .zip file.
I have also tried putting it back to Baseband 72 but it made no difference.
None of these make any difference to my issue and yet before i had the issue, I had used all of these kernels except FXP 150 and they all worked fine with no issues at all.
I then decided to go all the way back to stock firmware as it is out of the box.
so I used flashtool and flashed LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf
I reloaded my applications and monitored the device only to see that by the next day, the problem had returned.
I am now at the end of my tether and do not know what else i can possibly do to figure out the issue.
the device has not been dropped or damaged in any way so there is no reason for a hardware fault.
i desperately NEED this device to be working as i use it on a daily basis for my business and cannot live with out it.
IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT COULD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP I WOULD BE FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT!!!!!!!
i also have a logcat that i was running in the background when one of the reboots happened
not sure if that can tell anyone anything but i have it if it does
First flash stock kernel (587), after flash the rom compatible with kernel. Remember full wipe before
have you tried not to restore your apps? Maybe one of them causes the problem. I'd try to stick with the clean (stock) rom an check if it still reboots. If it does I guess your device is ready for ebay
Could be a loose battery, try a bit of paper between the battery and the cover and see if that helps.

i have come across something quite interesting.
i had someone look at the logcat i had running live when i had a reboot and it showed that the last thing to function before the reboot was wifi scanning. they suggested i try turning off wifi and running the live logcat again to see if any reboots occured.
it has now been just over 48 hours and i have not had a reboot at all. i know is because my terminal session is still running the live logcat.
is there anyone that could suggest why this may be happening?
i mean, i know its wifi that is causing the problem, but would that be a hardware issue that could be fixed under warranty? or something else?
any suggestions are appreciated as always

i don't think i can help, i just wanna say that i had (have) the same problem. I said had/have because probably I still have the issue, but i don't notice it that often. Before, I had my phone set to ask for pin code, but now I have removed it to avoid being unreachable if a restart occurs. I have raised the issue long time ago, but really didn't find any answer. Other ppl had same problem with their phone (look at the thread i started about this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765537)
I also have HTC desire in daily use with CM7.2, that also reboots quite often. So I don't think the phones are broken. More likely it's kenel or rom or app issue, or some combination of those.
If you can tell me how to monitor things, I can do it on both phones, maybe we will figure out what's going on.

if you open a terminal session and type:
su
cd sdcard
logcat >> logcat.txt
it will create a .txt file and put the live logcat info into it.
you need to leave the terminal running in the background to make sure it continues to update
then when you see a reboot just get the logcat.txt file from the sd card and open it in wordpad or something. (notepad doesnt display properly)
have a look at the last thing that happened before the reboot and see what it tells you
mine had info about wifi scanning and showed that it had seen ssids
next step was to turn wifi off to see if the problem stayed or resolved.
good luck!! id love to hear how it goes
Hi All,
I'm am absolutely stumped and have tried what feels like everything I can to resolve my issue to no avail. So, I'm hoping to find success from the wisdom of the seasoned XDA community.
I have an SGH-T999 with baseband UVDMD5. In early September, my camera stopped working. When I open the camera app, I'm greeted with the infamous "Can't connect to camera" message. The front camera works fine (via Skype), but the rear camera does not. I've tried all of the following but the camera still won't work:
1) Unrooted and re-flashed the stock root66;
2) Finding the correct "SLIM_ISP.bin" file, placing them in the /data folder, and set the permissions to 777;
3) Re-flashed the stock UVDMD5 bootloader, firmware, and modem;
4) Took the phone to a shop to have a new camera installed and they couldn't get the new hardware to work either (so, it's definitely software related);
5) Cleared the app cache and fixing permissions in recovery;
6) Restored a Nandroid from a previous state of the device when the camera was fully operational;
I don't know what else to do. PLEASE help me folks. I really want my camera back. Thank you in advance for your time and insight.
I've attached a Catlog I recorded while attempting to open the camera, if that helps at all.
just a thought , but if you have a nandroid backup could you uninstall current camera and then grab camera from nandroid and install it ?
or if have titanium backup hit the install button on camera apk (even though its already there). these methods have worked for me with browser issues.
just an idea.
good luck.
err on the side of kindness

Hi Doc, I tried that. Sorry. Should have listed it. I took it to a shop to have a new camera installed and they couldn't get the new hardware to work either. So, it's definitely software related.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

just a thought , but if you have a nandroid backup could you uninstall current camera and then grab camera from nandroid and install it ?
or if have titanium backup hit the install button on camera apk (even though its already there). these methods have worked for me with browser issues.
just an idea.
good luck.

mrrocketdog,
Would that work if the camera doesn't work even when the Nandroid is restored (despite that fact that the camera was functional when the Nandroid was created)? Thank you.
At this point I think that would be worth a shot. If it doesn't work though I'd have to say it sounds like it could be hardware related, even though you replaced the module. Might be a problem on the motherboard or something like that.
The only other thing I can think to try though is to flash a 4.1.1 rom. Then using the hidden code to write the camera firmware to the device. If the firmware got corrupted somehow, this could fix it. The problem though, is if you've updated to 4.3 firmware, it probably won't work. They patched against our ability to write the cameras firmware ourselves. If this was done in the controlling app, it may just work. However, if it was patched in the base firmware, there won't be any way I know of to do this.
I'll post the code in a min. Gotta hunt it down again...

Ok here are the codes:
*#34971539#
*#7412365#
Enter in the stock dialer.
I'm pretty sure the first one is the one you need, but both are camera codes which is why I gave both.
If it works, it will open a menu called Camera Firmware Std
You can check the firmware versions first if you like. If the phone fw is older than the cam fw, and you do this, it is possible you could loose some features. But if so, I imagine flashing the device firmware again will update back to where it should be.
To write the camera firmware, just choose Phone to Cam FW Write.
Good luck!

i think that would be the point. the camera was functioal when the nand was created.
dont know exact function , but what about going into recovery and fixing permissions.
and going into settings>apps>camera and clearing cache ? wouldnt take but a minute and it already doesnt work so....

Thank you for your response and the suggestions.
That point makes complete sense. However, what I'm saying is that I've restored s Nandroid from a state when the camera was functional. However, the camera still doesn't work despite restoring a Nandroid from a previously operational state. So, please correct me if I'm wrong, but, considering that, what good would extracting the apk from the Nandroid do if restoring the entire Nandroid doesn't make the camera work?
Regarding your second suggestion, I have tried clearing the app cache and fixing permissions, but it didn't work. I'll add this to my list of attempted fixes in my original post.
Thank you very much mrrocketdog. I sincerely appreciate your continued interest and support. I hope we can figure this out.
well dang it ! hopefully someone else will chime in with some ideas. sorry i didnt have anything new. will keep thinking.

Hi DocHoliday77,
Thank you very much for the reply and the suggestion. Your advice seems sound.
I'm not sure what you mean by "controlling app." I'm afraid my knowledge is too limited to tell you if I've flashed the 4.3 firmware.
Not sure if this helps, but I have intentionally not upgraded beyond the stock baseband UVDMD5 version. I understand the baseband versions following UVDMD5 are bad due to the addition of KNOX and the inability to flash back to previous baseband versions.
Currently, I have flashed Carbon rom, which states the Android version is 4.4.4. However, I don't know if the Android version number is reflective of the firmware.
Regarding flashing a 4.1.1 rom, is there a rom you suggest that would be better for this than others? Should I just grab an older version of Carbon or would it be best to use Odin to flash back to a stock root66 version of 4.1.1 ?
Btw, not sure if you saw, but I uploaded a Catlog I recorded while trying to launch the camera app. I don't know if that will reveal anything or not. I can't make two cents of Catlogs other than to identify that errors are occurring. I really hope this isn't a faulty motherboard.
Thank you again for your continued interest and support. I really appreciate your advice. It means a lot. I hope we are able to resolve this.
If you never updated beyond 4.1.2, you can fully downgrade to 4.1.1 and try that method I posted. The app is just the one that controls the cameras dialer code. You don't really need to worry about it. Don't remember which it is right now anyway...
If you like though, first just flash stock 4.1.2. The code might work there. I just can't remember if it was patched there or in 4.3. You'll know you need 4.1 1 if you open it and the firmware write choice is greyed out.
I suggest just flashing the root66 firmware rather than a rom. This way everything you need is included. If it does solve the problem you can flash back to whatever you like.

Ok Doc. I flashed root66 T999 UVDLJC (Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.1 Firmware). After rebooting the phone, I entered the first code you provided - *#34971539# - into the phone dialer. This pulls up an all black screen with a gray colored placeholder/header at the top that reads, "CameraFirmware Standard." Again, other than the gray header and title, the rest of the screen is all black with no text or anything, except for the notification bar at the very top. Then, after sitting on that screen for a few seconds, it closes and the message, "Unfortunately, Factory Test has stopped," displays in a pop-up message.
I can make my assumptions about what that means, but I'd prefer your opinion. What do you think?
Thank you again for your time, insight, and assistance. I respectfully look forward to your response.
p.s. Just to clarify my experience for potential future readers, the second code you provided - *#7412365# - didn't work. It displayed, "Unable to process request" in a pop-up message.
That tells me that the system is most likely having problems communicating with the camera.
I'd open it up and make sure it's properly connected. It's very easy to do. You can find disassembly videos on YouTube if you want to see what to look for first.
If the shop couldn't get a new one to work, I'm honestly not sure what else you can try. It does sound like a hardware issue though. My best guess is its got something to do with the motherboard.

Hi guys,
So i just downloaded and installed the latest T-mobile update and now my phone is slower.
Every time I hit the home button, the image blinks and redraws and there's just a hint of stutter.
The app drawer also takes a little longer now.
What the heck?
It used to be so zippy and fast. How do I fix it, anyone know?

Try disabling hw overlays in developers options to help with that redraw stutter. Remember you have to set it everytime you boot, unless you're booted with xposed installed, then you could download the module that keeps it active at all times.
This seems to have helped a lot of people with your issue.
Thank you.
It's sadly still doing it.

Did you take the ota or download one of the twrp upgrades floating around? Either way in your situation you probably need to do a factory reset. Alternatively follow the twrp method HERE if you haven't already and I can personally guarantee a better than ota install. If you want it to be done correctly to fix any problems you need to wipe the system and data partitions before flashing. Also don't forget to download super su if you want to keep root (linked in guide). There is another upgrade twrp file in the development section I think that is not a perfect 1:1 image and could give problems. Not saying that particular rom is bad or that it is the problem, its just not a 1:1 like the guide I linked you to it is directory/installer script dependent. The one I made transfers the whole untouched partition over and inside has all the symlinks and permissions preset by LG.
Factory Reset
First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..
Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.
Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.
Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.
Features:
1. Less Lags.
2. Fast.
3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.
How to install:
Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.
1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.
2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.
3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.
4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.
5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.
6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.
7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.
After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.
Links :
Rom : removed due to some problems occurred after flashing.
gapps : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 or https://basketbuild.com/gapps (choose android 5.0).
For any kind of help regarding to this rom pm me or just ask in this thread.
I will try my best
Caution : Does not works on 6045Y & 6045K.
Backup efs also in case u loose ur IMEI or having error of unknown baseband/ no network
If you like my work, dont forget to hit thanks......
Sorry for all the trouble caused.
Well I am also in the same boat as well.....

Now going to sleep, as have to go office in morning......
Quick question. Can this rom read/write ExFat? I'd rather have my sd card formatted to that so that i can store larger movie files.
Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:

One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.
OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.
Anyone have a suggestion for a lollipop compatible "minimal gapps?" I'm really only interested in google play and gmail..no need for google+ etc.

I might still have a PA micro gapps file somewhere. Just need to see if it's 5.0 or 5.1.
Edit: Here you go. Just pick up the zero gapps. It works perfectly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792842
Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.

Yupp bro.
Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.
Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.
It will say something about the check_cu.
If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"
Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)
Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.
If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:
Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.
I'm kind of flashaholic so won't resist very long... Don't worry.
What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.
I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?
Thanks,

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,
Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.
N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.
Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.
N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.
Yes backup will work.
After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.
I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.
Screenshots of network range:

It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.

I agree with you bro......:good::good:
Thanks both for your answers. Yes the Alcatel restore software makes things way easier to fix. I already installed it yesterday to make sure my phone drivers are installed for any "phone state". I also have the android sdk installed.
By the way, I am thinking to bring my small contribution to this forum by creating an " ultimate list of mods/softwares/issues" for this phone.
There have been so many news and achivements in the past few weeks, it's a bit difficult to read everything in the correct order.
So last question, how about the radio, imei, etc... Any risk on this?
And then, I think I'll give it a try.

I'm attaching a platform.xml file already modded to allow full read/write access to the external sd (just drop the .zip off the filename as that was just to get xda to allow me to upload it...it's a text file)....you might find it useful to replace this in yours.(/etc/permissions)..other options include pre-rooting...adding in init.d support....etc.
Ran this ROM overnight and through most of my day so far (about 3 hours off the charger). First impression is that it's about the same as stock, not that I was expecting any different. You get the TCL splash screen at boot but the overall UI is pretty much the same. Since I now have root I went ahead and used app quarantine to freeze the bloatware apps I didn't want. Kinda wishing I had installed minimal gapps, but I figure I'll be reflashing again soon since the floodgates are probably about to open with new ROMS anyway.
Conclusion: If you're curious, flash it, it doesn't hurt anything. It may be a hair smoother, and I haven't really tested the camera extensively enough before or after to be able to tell a difference.
Edit: Literally as soon as I submitted this message (from my PC) I went to turn wi-fi off and the phone decided to reboot. Really odd.
