Hello guys/girls,
I have built successfully a TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery for Alcatel Idol 3 6039 4.7 inch (tested on 6039y). The recovery image can be downloaded from here:
Edit (30.09.2015): I think this will be the final version of the recovery. The date/time issue is fixed now and additionally small adjustments to the initialization process have been added.
twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol347.img
md5sum: 175be787d67839d15beab7285279a72c
Please note that the latest OTA updates from the end of August and the start of September disable the fastboot commands which means that this recovery cannot be started as described below (if your device is already upgraded)!!! The device will return FAILED (remote: unknown command) when you try to boot the recovery.
If you find yourself in this situation but want root access please see this thread.
It can be tested as follows:
- enable the developer options
- allow the USB debugging
- reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
- start the recovery image with:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol3-6039y.img
Please do not forget first to make a backup of the system partition by selecting System Image from the Backup settings. The backup image will be needed in order to install future OTA updates if available, so please keep it in a safe place.

Great job! A couple of the outstanding issues on the 6045 TWRP are that the date/time stamp of the backup is screwy because of a known bug with 64 bit chips and also the recovery identifies every model as a Y model (you can see in recovery.log) because the boot.img for a Y was used. Yours may also encounter one or both of these issues. I suggested in the other thread they consider building for each model using the individual boot.img but didn't get a reply.

Yes, the date/time stamp is wrong. The device model however is not much . The ro.product.model is shown as idol347. It is a custom build after all.
I tried to use TWRP on my 6039Y and it's not working. Well to be more precise I don't know if your custom recovery works or not because I can't seem to get past the first step. Here's what happened
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
So the device reboots, but doesn't get past the first screen (Alcatel OneTouch Powered by Android) even after a minute or so. Should I let it more time or is this the bootloader?
Then i try this
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices
This seems to have no effect, the command seems to execute without any consequence and I'm able to type a new line in cmd
And if I try
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot twrp_recovery-2.8.7.0-idol3-6039y.img
I get a <waiting for device> and I'm stuck on that line, having to Ctrl+C to stop the command and reboot the phone by holding power
Yes I know, I'm on Windows and it might be the drivers causing this. However I have installed the ADB drivers through SDK just fine. I would like to be able to install the drivers from the phone but the only options I see in the USB connection settings are MTP, PTP and Charging only. Any idea on how to get that CD-Rom option to appear?
Thanks for your help in advance

Looks like a driver issue. I use Linux no problems here no need of drivers too.

Try with the drivers posted by @famewolf here or with these.
Meanwhile the first post has been updated with a new link. Please download the recovery again. There was a bug with the screenlock in the previous build. The screenlock is disabled in this one.
Alright I'll make sure to try that. Otherwise I guess I'll just try with Linux or Mac. Thanks

A quick check of the dirvers shared by @famewolf shows that they should work on windows with 6039y (at least to start the recovery). These are the vendor and the product IDs of 6039y from one of the INF files in the archive so the drivers should be compatible with the device when is in the bootloader (they match with those reported by the device).
Code:
USB\VID_1BBB&PID_D00D.DeviceDescRelease="Android Sooner Single ADB Interface"
I don't see however the IDs for the recovery mode:
Code:
[726530.487224] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4ee2
and the IDs from when the phone is connected as MTP device:
Code:
[726695.431624] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=1bbb, idProduct=af2b
but I hope everything to be OK. Good luck.

I asked the moderator to move it to the development section of Idol 3, but something went wrong. The moderator is informed about this. Now I'm waiting to be moved to the Idol 3 forum again.

Cyanogen recovery
Here is a download link of the cyanogen recovery (built from the 12.1 branch). It's useless. But if someone wants to try it. The md5sum of the image is 3ff21bbf5ece48422f3135fa583eaa78
Should this work on 6039J?
Has not been tested on 6039J until now, but you can try it. Don't rush with backups wipes etc. (because the partition table can be different) just boot with it through fastboot. You can examine your partitions with the recovery from the repartitioning guide which contains gdisk (if your phone is not rooted yet). But this is only if this one works with your device. By the way what is the J version ? Dual sim ?
I'm trying to create a backup of the 6039S (North American 16GB, 1-SIM/1-SD model), and am having some issues with fastboot.
ADB is working flawlessly, and I can boot into the bootloader. As petrov.0 noted earlier in this thread there is no dedicated bootloader screen, just the onetouch splashscreen displays.
I can enter:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices
and the device shows up: "6346ce6d fastboot".
However, when I go to run any of the OEM commands, e.g.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info
it shows:
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.016s
Any ideas? By all appearances the alcatel driver seems to be working, but could this still be a driver issue?

Probably this problem is not related to the driver. Something is different in your device. By the way can you boot this recovery ?

No, I can't boot this TWRP recovery either. I get the same error message: FAILED (remote: unknown command).
I must admit that the internal sd card has not been mounted properly until now. I found the proper way however how to do it. The first post has been updated and now contains a link to the recovery which includes the corrections. The configuration files with which I do these recoveries, are also publicly available now and can be found here. Nothing special but ...

remote: unknown command is a protocol error, as long as I understand the source. What is the host OS ? Windows ... which version ... did you try to start cmd.exe as administrator ? Which drivers you use ? On what port is your device connected (USB 2 or USB 3). Do you have access to a Linux box ? If you have try from there. I'm not sure how Windows handles the sharing of the USB ports with a virtual machine. You can try to start a distro in VirtualBox, which have option to expose a device connected on the host to the guest system and then to try fastboot from there.

Try a different cable?
Unfortunately I am at work and only have the C to C cable that was in the box.
My sdk/platform tools files are the same ones I've used with my 6P since 11-2015, and unlocking the 2 XL bl worked on the first attempt.
my process:
pow button + vol down
open cmd prompt in platform tools folder
fastboot devices (recognized my device)
fastboot flashing unlock
use vol up to select UNLOCK MY BOOTLOADER
power, to confirm
erases everything,
restarts

I started off with what I was using with my pixel XL and that didn't work and I have installed about 10 different version thus far and still nothing
I basically ended up using another cable, different version of adb, and another computer. Hard to tell what the problem exactly was since I changed 3 things at the same time between it not working and working. My guess is the cable and/or the computer.
Days past I successfully unlocked the bootloader on my girlfriend's Taimen handset, flashed TWRP etc etc. No hitches whatsoever. I bought another for myself via the Google Store.
I booted it up today. As was on hers, OEM Unlock is prevented until I allow the handset to update to 8.1.
Done. OEM unlock then accessible and enabled.
I used my girlfriend's same PC with the same Minimal ADB and Fastboot, rebooted to fastboot and execute
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Are you sure? ...volume up/down and power button to commit. Done. The unlock appeared successful as it rebooted to the out of box setup routine again.
I transferred the TWRP zip to the handset and rebooted to fastboot. Upon executing the command to temp boot TWRP from the IMG file fastboot
Code:
boot path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\twrp-3.2.1-2-taimen.img"
I got the following response...
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.870s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Can not boot in Lock State)
finished. total time: 0.873s
Sure enough I look down at the handset and the fastboot menu reflects it's locked again. Weird.
I reboot and check OEM unlock. It reflects OEM unlock still toggled on. I go back to fastboot and again execute
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Code:
FAILED (remote: Device already : unlocked!)
finished. total time: 0.002s
This is despite fastboot clearly showing "device state - locked"
I regress to dev options and toggle OEM unlock off. Reboot. Toggle OEM Unlock back on.
Same ill behavior.
Am I missing something??
try fastboot flashing unlock
depending on bootloader version you no longer need to fastboot flashing unlock_critical
see here.

Hello,
I have a Nokia 6.1 that bricked itself over a system update last year.
Symptoms
Turns on and goes into "Download Mode" screen. Does not turn off. Keeps rebooting.
Had to run
Code:
fastboot oem HALT
to put it to sleep.
Phone details
Android 8.1
Bootloader Locked
Output of
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
`
Code:
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.016s
Goal
Somehow recover critical data stored on the phone. Data wiping is not an option.
What I've tried
1. Key combos
Multiple key combinations fails to take it to a recovery screen.
2. ADB & Fastboot
On windows 10 I've installed the minimal ADB&Fastboot drivers.
Code:
adb devices
shows nothing.
Code:
fastboot devices
shows the device.
The following set of commands takes it to a recovery (?) mode
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot
fastboot getvar current-slot
fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot reboot
This screen only shows 2 options "Try again" and "Factory Reset"
Also says "Can't load android system. Data my be corrupt." (sth similar)
I've tried installing TWRP with
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
but since the bootloader is locked I'm unable to do so.
I have not tried unlocking the bootloader as it supposedly wipes the data, even though it supposedly doesn't have to.
After some time I'd discovered something called an EDL mode and tried to jerry rig a USB-C cable with shorted green and black wires to get the phone to boot into that mode. I'm not sure what the proper sequence of actions here should be as the phone turns on and goes into "Download Modes" the second I plug the USB cable in and nothing shows up on Device Manager.
Would it be possible in any way to recover the data or at least take a dump of the userdata partition in the storage. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hello,
today i got a Moto E20 for debugging my webservices. I habe to Unlock the Bootloader for that.
I enabled the Developer-Menu in Android and the oem_unlock and usb-debugging in the settings.
When i boot the device into fastboot all seems OK... i get a connection with adb and fastboot to the device.
But all "fastboot oem XXX" commands just reply
fastboot oem device_info
...
OKAY [ 0.000s ]

That is the default reply for

fastboot oem device_info

you are in the fastbootd mode .. the correct mode would be in the bootloader mode (adb reboot bootloader) ..
unfortunately it still does not work - the relevant command does not seem to work (fastboot oem get_unlock_data) -
motorola via support says it can not be unlocked .. but i certainly dont believe that - the e40 for example can be ..
the reteu firmware might be limited ..
