Hi everyone,
I have Alcatel OT-918(Without D/M or N) I messed up my system and it is not working now.
It was running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
If anyone has access to this stock ROM please post the link..
ELSE
If some has a phone like mine and I a kindly requesting that you back it up for me(minus your sensitive data of course) and post it.
I will be grateful.
I have tried all approaches including One-touch Upgrade but it just says my phone is up to date.
Thanks all

I found THE solution of our problem man !!!!!
I found it !
I assume you have already Flash Tools and One Touch Upgrade 1.8.2
Step 1 : Download the file '2.3.5_Europe.zip' (file attachement)
Step 2 : Open Flash Tool
- Option --> Check USB MODE
- Option --> Backup Restore NVRAM --> Check Backup --> .....
- Scater-loading File --> "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" (in 2.3.5_Europe)
- Click DOWNLOAD
Step 3 : Wait up to the end.
When it's finished, open One Touch Upgrade and do an Upgrade
It works very well now !!

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

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

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

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

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

Hello there,
I need Help from you all.
I've been searching and google for a long time for how to make my phone alive back T.T
I'm using Xperia Play.
recently, i'm trying to change my phone ROM.
But maybe of my mistake i end-up by my phone stuck after SONY ERICSSON logo.
It become Black screen after that ..
so many time i try to make it into cwm but it fail .. i even try pressing vol down , vol up . back , and many other ..
but it wont go to cwm again .
What i do?[when i in cwm to flash rom]
1. i have clear [dalvik,cache,data, and anything that must clear]
2. i mount /system
3. flash rom
4. flash g-apps
5. flash hotspot [fix]
6.reboot
and then . This What Happen.
The worst .
when i plug my phone to pc . The pc can't detect usb debugging [WHEN BLACK SCREEN]
i even not backup anything .. [That is the worst]
OK here the recent try that i done
->>> I try to make my phone into fastboot and it work [by pressing search key then connect to pc /flashtool]
then i pick that thunder image and take fastboot.
I'm trying to flash kernel by this LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full and it said that my phone is UNROOT!!!
*I got some idea: is there some way to make debugging turn on [in fastboot,cmd command,application or anything when it stuck after the sony ericsson logo .coz flashtool said that i can connect but my debugging is off and it not in mass storage state ...
Is there is still hope to make it live back?
I really love That phone . I really love it .
pls help me
As i see it, your bootloader is locked, you have (had) recovery for locked bootloader and you tried to flash custom rom and custom kernel. "it won't work" is short description, long description is your entire first post.
You have two options:
A) Unlock your bootloader and try flash kernel and rom again (you didn't say what model you have, so it might not be even possible)
B) flash stock firmware (ftf) with flashtool or even better, use pc companion to get your phone back to life

You can find a ton of stuff here ^^
So find your stock ftf file (depending on what version of phone you have) and flash it via flashtool. Hopefully you still can. Give Google a shot if you need instructions.
Or go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054486
PLEASE USE THE PROPER FIRMWARE FOR YOUR PHONE. You may cause irreparable damage to your phone if you flash the wrong firmware.
Sorry for the all caps, but I just want to make sure that I helped and didn't cause any more issues. Best of luck for you.

Okay, try this:
Connect your phone and first, flash it in 'Download Only' mode. (Make sure to select all the partitions (I mean the files))
Then flash them all again in 'Firmware Upgrade' mode..
I'd recommend you to flash the KitKat file.

Hi everybody, is there any one who can give me a link of .tot modified file with hex editor, I flashed my phone (LS980) with wrong firmware (D802) and when I try to flash it with the right file wich is destined for LS980 the flash tool consider the phone as a D802 model, I tried all methods I found on XDA to restore my phone but nothing done, my phone still brick, and the only way to flash it now is to modify the .tot file with a hex editor soft, if there is someone who can give me a link to that file, or to show me the exact line to modify in the file and which hex soft to use it will be a great help for me.
Thank you in advance (Please try to give the help I demand, because I tried every methods)
Hello kakah2011, First of all i'd tell you to calm down its gonna be alright. secondly can you explain briefly the previous version of software you were running. Android version and the software version, if you could mention would be of great help. And did you flash D802 rom yourself, as if it were running LS980 previously or did you buy the phone already flashed with a fake D802 rom. I can guide and provide you on how to resolve the issue but first i need to make sure which partitions are flashed to your phones memory currently.
just relax. i had exactly the same issue and it got sorted out. My phone(hardware ls980) came with a fake 802 software on it. So i assumed its a 802 and flashed 802 roms on it till it completely got screwed up. the touch went crazy and the phone got into a auto restart loop.
I have the edited file, but i dont know how to give you a 2.5 gb file. Any ideas how it can be shared.
I edited the original file using flexhex. You just need to change the first instance of the word LS980 to D802. the trick here is that in hex editor format when we replace L with D , S with 8, 9 with 0, 8 with 2,0 we replace with a spacebar. The last parts a mistake. 0 should be replaced by a blank and not a spacebar. Copy a blank from nearby and insert it. or try a 00 value. I dont remember exactly what i did. but my mistake was that i was replacing the 0 with a space bar.
after the format, my phone stopped getting into the download mode. Instead i got stuck in some fastboot mode which was getting activated by using the volume up key while inserting the wire(before this, i was getting download mode in volume down+usb wire insertion). had to struggle a bit to get the phone back to download mode. I used something called adb tools to get this done. If you konw these tools, its just a 2 min job.
After that i reflashed the original tot file of ls980 and the phone started working great.
if you need anyhelp, call me if you are from india on 9700000678. Else pm here or email on [email protected]
dont forget to thank me.

Hello kakah2011, First of all i'd tell you to calm down its gonna be alright. secondly can you explain briefly the previous version of software you were running. Android version and the software version, if you could mention would be of great help. And did you flash D802 rom yourself, as if it were running LS980 previously or did you buy the phone already flashed with a fake D802 rom.

Thak you Mr, I think that the previous Firmware before I flash it was a LS980 (4.4.2 or 4.2.2), and I think that the version that I flashed the phone with is 16GB, and I can't use adb fastboot with PC to because it don't recorgnize the IMEI and the only way to restore it is the download mode (No Philz recovery) and I must notice that the screen is not normal (when I push it in an area it moves in another), I think that it's bricked for ever!!!!???

Is there any method to flash the .tot file firmware using fastboot? because there is no more download mode after flashing the modified firmware using FlexHex. Any suggestion ?

The .tot can only be flashed in download mode, on a serious note i'd suggest you here to give your phone to some expert it wouldn't cost you much. But if you'd like to follow.. download mode can easily be restored using the method in the link i just provided earlier. When you get into download mode only then your rom can be restored.. btw please follow as instructed cause if something wrong goes here eg flashing wrong image in fastboot or wiping all at once.. could lead the phone to hard brick and would cost you double as much later to get it fixed. My personal suggestion is to pay $15-30 for this operation and get it over with.. do you have any suitable repair shops in your area?

First I want to thank every one who helped me to restore my G2(especially Krunal Jain who shows me the first step which is the key), finally you've just to download the LAF file and flash it in order to get back download mode then you can flash the .tot firmware of the LS980.
The prbleme now is that there is no more adresse MAC when entering to Wifi settings, and also Cellular network, I guess that these two things need a lot of search to restore them !! Any suggestion??? THANK YOU GUYS

Hello brother
I fixed mine yesterday, i ll tell what to do
If you want to get access to download mode, just remove the buttons connector ,then that metalic plat that its glued in just to get access tothe ic chip and motherboard , of course to do this u need to takr off the baterry and all connectors, once u takr off yhe buttons reconnect every connwctor except the one of buttons and baterry
Thrn connect the the phone to the pc by using a usb (without baterry) then u need a liyyle screw driver or a wire to short the capacitor c5000 and c5004, keep trying till u heard thr pc detect new device named qhusb
Great , for that you need to download srk tool 2.1 just google it
Then selectfix utility then unbrick qhusb and select the correct drive
It will flash : haf, boot , aboot
Thats good for now ur download mode is back to life
Then for ls980 u need to install stock tot file (ls890zv7.tot) flash it with lg flash tool use manual mode u need a dll file (lgls980_20130904_lgflashv151.dll) download it on google... i ll send you links later hiw to do this,im using my phone
Once finished , ur phone is back to life but no signal
Easy ,just need to root. Then install twrp recovery
After that u need to install via recovery mode the (ls980stockuniversal to d802.zip)
And u re phone is getting signal and being fixed
edit: here the tutorial links that helps ya how to do everything
1- to get your phone alive ( to be detected as qusb_bulk)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
2- this to fix the qusb issue & download mode back to life

3- to install the stock tot rom , Root , then install twrp recovery mode , & then full unlock you cell phone

Zenfone2 ZE550ML Z008 No Sound call &Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format)
OK, after some search and trying, i really need more help from xda community, especially asus zenfone 2 ZE550ML user and developer and others too
so, this is whats happen so far:
i got this phone from my sister, asus zenfone 2 ZE550ML Z008 2GB memory with weird problem...
the phone cannot send/receive sound from phone calling.
the call can be made, but not any sound can be heard, in and out...
well, maybe the mic and speaker broken, i found that it is not the case...
why? because any messenger apps (Whatsapp, BBM, IMO, Line) which have voice call, worked just fine, no problem at all
i tried self test (using calulator .12345+= trick) everything working just fine too.
it happen too even when using earphone (which i already tested again worked fine with Whastapp, BBM, Line, IMO, maybe other apps too). the earphone is fine, normal and working OK
i tried doing factory reset, failed, after some search, for anything that can be done, it said disable ok google detection, turn ON dial pad, update asus call screen, etc,
let me know if there is more things to try...
i also already try wipe factory reset and cache from recovery mode, still no luck...
i also find that the SIM2 IMEI is unknown/null, but SIM 1 IMEI still normal...
tried changing to SIM 2, and as expected, it didnt get any signal, so cannot be used
i tried all OTA update to the latest update, and the problem still exist
so i think i should flash using Asus Flash Tools (AFT) using flash raw file so it can fix this problem, to make the phone really like new again...
but, another problem arise...
i already prepare all driver and AFT and raw file...
in device manager, everything fine, no any yellow/red mark to any device...
boot to fastboot mode, connect the usb cable, detected in AFT and status is connected with blue circle.
but i cannot flash when i click start, after a while, yellow circle, then red circle with note "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
it failed and not flash the phone, the phone can still be used normal like nothing
happen (but still with the problem i mention )
OK, maybe, the file i downloaded corrupted, so i download again few times, but it keep showing the same error
"Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
i tried download other version, and error still the same
i also tried different version of AFT from 1.0.0.14 until the latest one, 1.0.0.55 , and still same error...
i am sure my phone is ZE550ML since in the back of the phone there is written Model : ASUS_Z008, or am i wrong??
after that, i tried flash using ADB and zip file from asus site, with the most older file, which is "UL-Z008-WW-2.12.40.9-user.zip" but cannot be done, it is said cannot flash with older version than the current firmware
so i download the latest firmware "UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.191-user.zip" which is marsmellow, hoping my problem can be fix
but, the problem still exist...really exactly the same way...really confusing
tried self test again, yup, 100% still the same problem...
so now, i need advice and any info, how to flash using AFT and raw file...??
or how to fix the "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))" error.
FYI, this phone still not root or unlock bootloader (i suppose, because my sister just use it as it is)
but i notice in fastboot mode, the "BOOTLOADER VERSION - Unknown" is it mean it already unlock or what??
Please help me, any advice, suggestion or info highly appreciated...
thx, and sorry for the poor english writing

are you on M firmware ?
If yes ,factory reset in settings first
Then search ASUS support for downgrade to LP firmware for Z008(whatever that is)
put on internal sd or dload straight there. Remove ext sd btw before and
Reboot
See if that fixes your probs
edit just seen you cannot factory reset. What does work , lets start with that ?
What firmware are you currently on ?
Date build etc ?
Stock recovery installed ?

yes, i am on M firmware now
since i cannot flash using AFT, i tried using adb fastboot mode, and now i am on Marshmellow...
i can do factory reset, i do it few times already in backup setting and also in recovery mode...
it just that my problem/issue with No Sound when calling is still happening.
and the IMEI on SIM 2 also still unknown/null, altough this is less priority than the first problem

I think you can now rule out it being a software problem now
``btw, after updating back to lollipop, the phone still saying there is update``
Yes , is that the same file you just downgraded to or update to M ?

so it is hardware problem??
but how?? the mic and speaker still can be use in Whatsapp, BBM and other chat apps just fine when voice call...
in selftest, i confirm it can pass, since i hear from speaker and speak through the mic just fine too...
and also i found that, if i record the call, it file cannot be played back, and yet i can record when not calling using sound recording and the file can played to just fine...
it only cannot hear or receive sound when in calling...
now, the things i not done is flashing using AFT, which cannot be done because the wrong image error...
i wonder, why?? there must be something i miss out

AFAIK -- you would not be allowed to downgrade if something was a miss with current software(pre-flash) of the downgrade version.
Although , i would try 1.17 AFT in my unbrick thread in my signature below -- and check that you are flashing in AFT correctly by checking unbrick video from 2:17 mins in where AFT flash begins .
I did read in another thread that you stated your serial number is OK .
When you connect in AFT if serial is corrected you flash once.
If serial is 0-F, this is incorrect and you need to do a 2 part flash in AFT to correct it.
Watch the video carefully from 2:17 mins see if you are not doing something right !
Ps , are you flashing a raw file in AFT ?
Out of curiosity, what was the file you tried to flash with the asus flash tool? Was it a raw file?

sorry, i kinda not understand by that...so if i can downgrade, what does that mean??
is flashing using AFT and adb sideload the same?...i though that AFT flashing flash more deeper than adbsideload or using recovery
(i mean is that AFT do flash more things than adb sideload or OTA update, )
just like XFSTK downloader that looked wayyy more deeper flash using AFT...
i said normal, because it is not "0123456789ABCDF" but "F7AZGF00N937" (which also showed in AFT)
but, after i looked closely, its SN for a brief moment, show "0123456789ABCDF" about 2-3 seconds, i dont know whats that mean...i though just a refresh...
let me show you with a video what i mean here:
https://youtu.be/ksjVDFD2V-A
i record just now, after i press power + vol up to enter fastboot mode
yes, i tried Flash rawfile in AFT...
i download few raw files like
WW_ZE550ML_2.20.40.92_20150918.raw
WW_ZE550ML_2.20.40.156_20160815.raw

the one from "ZF2 5,5" ZE550ML"
or maybe there another raw file i should try??
oh, i rememeber a little details
so, when i tried flash using adb side load,
when i type "adb devices" in CMD directed to specified folder it show like this:
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF sideload
and yet, flashing using adb sideload finish normally without any error...(but still with the same "cant hear calling" problem )
how come it not read my correct serial number??

Check you have driver >
https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
When you press vol+ serial is corrected and you only need to flash once in AFT
AFT flash is fastboot mode flash .
Have you checked the video ? highlighted (clicked on ) your serial number, it turns blue ? before flashing
Use the AFT i have in my unbrick thread .
Also , tick erase data in AFT before hitting start :good:

Video of AFT settings and flash procedure from 2;17 mins in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbRaJijIBs&feature=youtu.be
Note.....
If this above is done correctly then you should be-able to flash it in AFT
Downgrading from M to LP which you succeeded with checks everything re software is OK before flashing , which you succeeded with.
I notice you were worried IF the bootloader was unlocked previously in the other thread and that this maybe affecting the AFT flash .
You said you got this phone off your sister ? Does she know if she unlocked bootloader ?.

"...........
in fastboot mode, my serial number is looks normal but "bootloader version - unknown"...
i wonder if the phone bootloader have been unlock, so it cannot be flash using AFT. ..........."
Heres , what i suggest might have happened although NOT too sure.
Someone previous bricked the device.
Didnt flash or succeed to restore serial correctly ... Then used other software to create a serial number which did`nt correspond with the imei .
This is the only thing i can think of .
This doesnt explain how downgrade version succeeded though .

Yes, i have watch the video...
and yes, the State is blue circle just like in the video...
the different is that after i click start, it turns yellow for few seconds and afterthat, show red circle with error "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
i will show u the video when i got time to do it...but maybe tommorow, since now i got something to do...
i am not in a hurry after all, and i really thankfull you helping me sharing your knowledge...
i wonder because the the stock bootloader version said unknown...i am guessing, with normal phone everything should have some status or whatever, right?? maybe some number or code...
what is the status with normal phone looked like?? or is it normal for un-mod phone to have bootloader version unknown??
i cannot compare to other phone, because i only got this 1 phone...
can you show me what the normal fastboot mode looked like?? with all other status, so i can get more picture of it
yes, i got this from my sister...and i believe she doesnt know anything like this...she is just pure user type, know what i mean, right...
but i dont know if she ever bring this phone to the service or not, i gonna ask her next time i meet her...she is not in the same house with me...
and she bought this phone brandnew from official store, i believe...
and the serial number detected on AFT is the same as number in the back of the phone, which is "F7AZGF00N937"
and also, as far as i know, this phone never bricked (this bricked mean you cannot enter the OS to use the phone, right? like bootloop or cannot start at all)
