Root x20i (mtk6573 - android 2.3.6)

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I hope this is the right place to post questions.
I have the x20i smartphone ( also known as Star x20i ). It's a mtk6573, and I want to root it. Can you help me?
I have tryed superoneclick, z4root, and something else, but nothing seems to work...
Thanks everybody.

On a Spanish forum http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/10835-Star-X20i/page12 I found a rooted system.img for my mobile phone. How can I flash it into my mobile? Thanks a lot for the help...

Maybe...

I think you can use SP Flash tool. I have an Alcatel One Touch 985, another mtk6573 device, and it works fine. But before you do anything, please find a way to make a backup of your ROM. On the other hand, I just needed a modified boot image to root my phone, everything else was the same. Please take a look to yuweng's threads, you could find'em very useful!

Thanks Centsoarer, I have already tryed to use SP flash tool, but looks like the phone gets disconnected before the software can do anything. Result is that I cannot flash the phone. Or maybe I am doyng something wrong, but I don't manage to understand what. I try to put out the battery, then put in again, connect to the pc, the driver loads correctly, but it disconnects before anythyng can be done. So frustrating...

Have you tried an old SPFT version? I had pproblems flashing with the latest 3.x versions, used instead 2.x version and flashing was possible. It's a long shot, but could work.

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.

Hi Mahmoud,
I want to know where you bought the mobile.. i was searching a lot over the internet and local stores to buy "alcatel one touch snap 7025D" mobile but i couldn't find it anywhere in my area (Andhra pradesh, India.) can you please tell a place or online website where i can find the mobile?

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.

Thank you, i will try. I must install some other version of OS, official is fully bugged. After i used ROMs from xda for last 2 years, on my old phone, i forgot how bugged is official android.
There are so much crashes with official version, corupted SD card and so on...

please help me. after reflashing of my rom with flash tool. i have lost my imei and i have not done backup of my efs. my alcatel ot 7025d can't recognize any sim. i need efs backup or way to solve of my problem. i live in ivory coast there are not alcatel sav in this country.

I used kingo for root. Its really one click root tool. If your phone is rooted, you can restore to default. You can try to restore it with that tool.
Anyone know where to download Custom Boot Loader and Newer version of OS?
I have huge problem with this phone. There is all the time problem with memory card. I am using kingston class 10, 16gb memory but from time to time, after i take some picture or use default gallery, i get message that my memory card is corrupted. I need to restart phone and everything is ok, but sometimes it require even 3-5-7 restarts and its really anoying. Cant take pictures, use ringtone from memory cartd etc.
I tried with official updater but still use 4.2.1 version. Anyone have any newer custom rom?
Sorry for off topic but i am sure that this problems can be solved with some newer OS.

Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U ROMs

Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance

I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!

Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.

Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.

I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!

Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.

I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method

well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.

What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.

Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.

Did you find the zip file for the recovery

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.

links are down....check this instead
Hey guys, links here seems to be down .
Maybe this link would be useful for you all... stock firmware can be downloaded and useful help on videos is available too... Enjoy

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?)

Need Rom for Alcatel 4037a

Good day my friends. This is my first post but i read these forums very often. I own a Digicel Dl750 (alcatel 4037a) which i would really appreciate some help with. I tried to flash my phone some time ago using a tutorial i found online since i couldn't find anything useful here (my go to source for these things). However, after trying to flash the rom and failing, i am stuck with a phone that won't respond to any input. COnnecting it with a usb simply gives me a white light on the phone, and device manager reads a "MTK usb port" device. it won't boot or anything else. Been trying to install some kind of recovery but i've had no luck so far. Is anyone here able to provide me with a backup of a working phone so i can fix mine please.
Edit Note1: After a bit more testing, I have pretty much confirmed that it is a problem with the preloader as the phone seems to completely skip the preloader when you connect it to the pc, and after a few seconds goes to the bootrom(?) instead. I am making this call based on the hardware ids show in device manager.
