Alcatel 1x DEVELOPMENT: Kernel, TWRP, Pie ROMs, Guides

ALCATEL 1X Development Thread
TWRP and Kernel work is mine and is free for everyone to use, but I appreciate being credited.
System GSIs are created by Phhusson.
Guide for flashing with SP Flash Tool is mine, but the code and binaries are proprietary information from TCL/JRD Communication and may not be redistributed.
KERNEL - Based on latest Alcatel GPL source code that they released, compiled and packaged into a boot.img - bit . ly / 2Gc4XUN
TWRP - Custom built from source TWRP from my device tree. Most things work, no special partition support other than /vendor - bit . ly / 2EevCO7
TWRP device tree - Github: milankragujevic/android_device_alcatel_5059d (I can't post a link due to XDA restrictions for new users)
Stock rom for 5059D_RU - bit . ly / 2ruktBa (remove spaces, can't share link directly)
How to unlock bootloader?
Reboot into recovery (either hold Volume Up when booting, or adb reboot-recovery), go into bootloader mode (fastboot), and run fastboot oem unlock. Then confirm with the volume button and reboot the device. Please note, all data will be wiped.
How to flash kernel?
Reboot into bootloader and run fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash boot2 boot.img (you need to flash boot2 too, or else the phone will refuse to boot due to integrity and signature problem).
How to flash system or recovery
Reboot into fastboot and run fastboot flash [partition] file.img. For system, partition is "system", for recovery it's "recovery" (obviously).
How to flash with SP Flash Tool?
Flashing is similar to most other phones, except you need a special version of SP Flash Tool, and a custom DA, preloader, Auth file and of course the scatter file for this device (MT6739-based).
Download files from here: bit . ly / 2L7gwLX
In SP Flash Tool, select "DA_PL_U5A_PLUS_4G.bin" as DA, "MT6739_Android_scatter.txt" as Scatter and "JRD_6739_HZ_U5A_PLUS_4G.auth" as Auth file. If it doesn't work with that file, try "JRD_6739_A30ATMO.auth" as Auth.
Add some files, i.e. boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, vendor.img in the same folder as the scatter file.
Then, take apart the phone, disconnect the battery, click the start button in the software and plug the phone into the computer.
Treble GSI flashing
Most GSIs work, provided you download an arm A-only image.
Both Oreo and Pie work, but on Oreo there's a problem with sending and receiving SMS, calls and USSD codes, and mobile data.
On Pie, mobile data works intermittently, and SMS, calls and USSD works constantly.
LineageOS non-GSI
I'm working on building a LineageOS image specific for this device, which should fix all issues with MTK RIL.
WIP, comments and suggestions welcome. Standard disclaimers apply (NO WARRANTY PROVIDED, AT YOUR OWN RISK, etc. )

Downloading, will post results!!! Thanks!

Links are back, the server had failed and I moved the files to another datacenter which took 3 days.

Hi again, does anyone of you know how to fix this error, im very scared that my phone wont show any screen again.
This is what happened: I tried to install Android 10 GSI and bootlooped so I went to TWRP and used my backup but from no reason the phone died during the backup and when I powered it on it vibrates but it doesnt show any image at all and takes a bit longer to vibrate.
The error on SP Flash Tool is STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL (0xC0060005). What do I do? When I try to flash it turns the LED on but then it turns off and turns on again but gives this error. If also there is a way to boot to bootloader directly tell me PLSS. Its Hard Bricked.

You did not flash correctly. The device isn't hard bricked, you have to turn it off (take it apart and disconnect the battery then reconnect it but don't turn on, keep the back cover off because you will surely need to repeat this many times), go to Options, Download and enable "Storage checksum" and "USB checksum", and then start flashing and then plug in the phone while SPFT is trying to flash. When SPFT starts flashing do not touch it, when it flashes the phone will reboot. You also need a proper stock ROM.
You can also just literally use the Mobile Upgrade S Gotu2 tool from Alcatel: https://mega.nz/file/DjpzTRDB#vC3SrO5hQr1Nzn32lWxVGLhmclfSpPF6CsIWHRaTsP8 and restore the stock ROM that way.

I cant with SP Flash Tool It gives the same error and with the other softwate it tels that i am at the latest version

You can, you are just doing it wrong. Check the checksum options I mentioned and retry.

Yes, I clearly told you:
In SP Flash Tool: Go to Options, Download and enable "Storage checksum" and "USB checksum".
THEN flash.

I enabled but still no results. The button i was talking about is on the phone do i need to touch the phone or just put the usb?

Do we need an authorized mi account to do so? Because i hardbricked my redmi 6 months ago and it always says that my mi account doesnt have a permission and then it will fail with a broadcom_cmd_fail.

No. But they may fail if you try to flash to any phone with V12.0.5.0 or higher already installed. I suggest you to flash to V12.0.4.0 using fastboot before. And then, try to flash using DA files.
Good luck

TWRP does work above 12.0.5, I have tested.
New build: https://tdrive.elytra8.workers.dev/image-new.img
Flash like you flash any other custom recovery.
For ADS in MIUI, using debloat tool and removing MSA does the job.

Uhm... hello, newbie here and hopefully in the right thread.
I have a Redmi Note 9 and wanted to install LineageOS. What I have done so far:
Jumped through all the hoops to unlock the bootloader.
Since that erases all user data, I did not bother setting a password in the setup. Just went through it as quickly as possible.
Installed TWRP 12.0.6
Used that to install lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip from here.
Result: The new system does not boot. I always end up in TWRP again. Even if I specifically go to Reboot -> System, it'll boot into recovery. I think the first boot fails and then it goes into recovery (if I power the device off and on again, it vibrates, the logo comes on, the screen goes black, it vibrates again, the logo shows again, and then I'm in TWRP).
What I have tried unsuccessfully:
Flashing the vbmeta from here.
Erasing the misc partition.
Flashing the old lk from here.
Closing the AVB2.0 after flash (with and without closing DM verity).
Wiping cache, dalvik, data, internal storage, and cache before reinstalling LOS.
Replacing TWRP with PBRP and trying again.
Probably some other things I don't remember. I've been chasing red herrings through this rabbit hole all day.
I also tried to install the ArrowOS build (from here), just to have one more datapoint. After that, the device boot-loops into the bootloader, and I have to manually go into recovery via VolUp+Power. This leads me to believe that it's not the LOS build at fault. It seems more likely that I am a moron and am doing something wrong. I just can't figure out what it is.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, Custom roms for Redmi Note 9 need MIUI 12.0.1 Indonesia, or MIUI 12.0.3 global vendor.
Downgrade your phone to the specific MIUI vendor, and then try flashing custom rom.
Here's the link for global 12.0.3
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
And before you downgrade your miui version, please erase system and vendor to bypass anti roll back.
Use these commands after connecting device in fastboot mode:
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase vendor
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then flash the 12.0.3 global/12.0.1 Indonesia miui version through MiFlash.
Or
You could give flashing 12.0.1 Indonesia vendor in TWRP, and then flashing rom.
If after fastboot reboot fastboot it shows waiting for device, install this driver. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JFYCZ3mu_Y_xpnS7QrmtwqOeFnWg6DO2/view?usp=sharing
Please note that you need to be on stock recovery for fastboot reboot fastboot to work.
Happy flashing

Thank you very much! With that info, I think I finally have it working!
I case it's helpful for future users, here are some issues I encountered along the way:

Is that normal? I do have a partition named 'super' that I can see in the TWRP backup module. Judging from its size, that could be the system partition. I think there's also a vbmeta_system and vbmeta_vendor, did you mean those?

Ok, so I downloaded the full ROM for 12.0.3 global. I'm using Linux, so MiFlash won't work. But the ROM archive I downloaded contained a bunch of partition images and a shell script that would flash them using the fastboot command. I just ran that script. Windows users probably could have run the .bat file that was also included. There were no errors. And after a reboot, MIUI started to boot and presented me with the setup procedure.
I did not complete the setup (I suspect it would have just auto-updated MIUI to something that would have caused problems again) and used the power button to go into the bootloader.
From there, I flashed TWRP again (since it got overwritten by the script mentioned above), went into recovery mode, and tried to install LOS again. First, flashing seemed to hang. The last messages in the log were:
Code:
Installing file '/external_sd/Download/lineage-17.1-20210209-UNOFFICIAL-merlin.zip'
Checking for Digest file...
Target: Redmi/merlin_eea/merlin:10/QP1A.190711.020/V11.0.2.0.QJOEUXM:user/release-leys
And that was it. The border around the progress bar was doing it's busy animation thing and after waiting for 10 minutes, I used the power button to reset the device.
The second attempt went through fine, and now I have LineageOS running on the device. I still need to play around with it some more to see if there are any issues, but the flashing itself seems to have worked.
Again, thank you for your help!

Oh you're using Linux, for Linux the commands is
/.fastboot reboot fastboot
Great to know you were able to flash successfuly. Note that first boot in all roms is a bootloop, you just have to force reboot after a minute of bootlogo showing up or so.

hi i flashed a wrong twrp and now the phone keeps bootlooping, cannot enter recovery or fastboot by power + vol (+ or -)
adb from computer doesn't detect
sp flash tool doesn't move when i hit "download" button

pc notificates a device connection by sound

Apparentely, you need to flash in EDL mode.
So, you need to bypass the authentication in EDL mode first.
Read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/

Newbie Android user here, hopefully i’m on the correct thread...i have a Redmi Note 9 with MIUI Global version 11.0.5 and Magisk version 20.4.
I tried updating Magisk to the latest version using the direct install option but I keep getting an error. I was told I need manually patch the boot.img and flash it but I need to create a magisk_patch.img first from the boot.img.
I read some of the guides on this thread but I’m not sure which one to follow. Also the steps to create the magisk_patch.image shows I need to click the Install button on Magisk then Select and Patch a file. I only have the Update button on Magisk, can I use that instead?
Or if you have other suggestion how to fix my issue. I attached the error I’m getting when I’m updating Magisk.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

You can't install the magisk using the direct option.
You need to the patch the boot.img file and then flash the magisk_patched.img using fastboot (or spflashtool).

Good work, my friend.
You are welcome

HELP PLS
i first flashed the patched_magisk.img then i got in a twrp boot loop. When i try to reboot into the system i get back to twrp menu.
Then i panicked and went to WIPE and factory reseted,
but it got stuck again. Then i powered it off.
How do i get out of this? I wanted to flash the stock boot.img but the storage folders has strange names
EDIT:
i figured it out what i have done. The data was ecrypted so i formated the data. But now i have another problem:
I installed linageOS from here, but when want to reboot back to system it says
No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? i don't undertand why the custom rom didn't install.
I just copied the .zip file with the custom rom in the phone and hit install in TWRP. What did i do wrong?

Steps for flashing vbmeta are same for every device.
You may try to use the search.
Here, you can find patched vbmeta for MERLIN:

PATCHED VBMETA.IMG for MERLIN by VD171 For what do I need it ? If you try to flash any custom partition, your device can bricks or gets in bootloop. This patch with disabled verity and disabled verification avoid it and need to be flashed once...

no, i mean a full guide for rooting from the beggining to end, for redmi note 9. For example i missed the vbmeta and this resulted in an error. Now i have to flash the stock firmware and wait for another 7 days for it to unlock. For newbies like me, this looks like a mess. If you don't have one, can you please create one? Do it for us, newcomers. Thanks

nv data corrupted redmi note 9 (merlin)

Hi everyone, days ago I posted on the forum that I had a bootloop, I could not enter fastboot or recovery, well, I managed to install the rom by sp flash tool without errors, but now I get the error "nv data is corrupted" as seen in the video that I attach, anyone know of a viable solution? What is free and do not have any other problem and my phone back to normal? Because I can enter fastboot and maybe download or twrp or download pixel experience or a rom, What do you recommend?

Me too
We need to send a message to Xiaomi support and let them know about this issue so that they can provide a solution for this problem in the future. They are the producer of this phone and can provide a remote tool for nvram repair
Redmi note 9 merlin will receive the MIUI 14 update and still supported by Xiaomi

Found a good solution I sold it to a repair shop for parts and got an iPhone already updated that iPhone and guess what IMEI is still there .

Recovered by simple way first install Engineering rom after that downgrade to 12.5

Have you tried this method?
I already put it to the test to see if it revived my redmi note 9 but apparently it continues the same without any result, what's more, it is not capable of flashing the engineering ROM either.

Good news people, I found how to revive our bricks with nv data corrupted, it is a simple solution, but that is if our device is going to be left without IMEI, or baseband, but it will turn on and work again, staying with MIUI 11 as a system, in the next comment I will leave the step by step and from now on I will continue investigating how to restore the IMEI and the base band of the equipment.

Relive redmi note 9 / redmi 10x 4G from NV DATA CORRUPTED error
STEP 1:
We download the file from the link that I am going to attach, there we unzip it and leave it in a location on our PC that we want, after these we perform the ByPass to be able to flash with the SP Flash Tool) if you do not have the ByPass I leave the link, remember that for it to run you have to download Python).
download links:
Necessary files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dUy8j9jHofv0NoYeyYWNiwFnP-n04QGz/view
ByPass: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/a68qyu0m7mr2i/AUTH+BYPASS+V3
Once the files have been extracted, we prepare the device (VERY IMPORTANT WE USE THE SP FLASH TOOL VERSION THAT COMES IN THE ZIP FILE, IF WE USE ANOTHER DIFFERENT VERSION IT WILL NOT FLASH THE DEVICE)
We perform the ByPass of the device (vol - y and connect the USB cable with the phone turned off).
Once the ByPass is done, what we do is open the sp flash tool and from there we load the Scatter that is in the folder of step 1 and then we load the DA files that are in the sp flash tool folder that was with the file Zip that we downloaded, from there we click on download and the flashing will begin (If it asks us for AUTH file, it means that the ByPass has not been carried out since that file is not required for flashing)
After those files are flashed we proceed to open the en sp flash tool the Scatter that is in the folder of step 2, and before flashing we must change the option from Download Only to Firmware Update if we do not do this it will give us error during flashing, and that's it, our redmi note 9 / redmi 10X 4G will have already revived from that NV DATA CORRUPTED error, and as I indicated at the beginning, the phone revives with MIUI 11 without baseband or IMEI, if I manage to find out how restore the IMEI and the base band I will be informing you, have an excellent day and I hope this method works for you, it worked for me

I have 3 Solutions for this problem :
1) - After flash firmware to latest MIUI with official file, use Unlocktool [https://unlocktool.net/] to flash the firmware and restore nvram data (if already backup the NVRAM config)
VIDEO :
- IF NOT use Pandora tool [https://z3x-team.com/products/pandora/] (for repair imei (if didn't have nvram data *but need to search for new IMEI)
VIDEO :
- THIS IS FREE VERSION FOR REPAIR IMEI
VIDEO :
2) (if still bootloop or stuck) Remove plate
video :
OR
3) This is the last options, need to disassemble the device, and replace the capacitor next to CPU
VIDEO :

i hope that help

Thank you so much! I've spent months trying to find a solution and this one was the only one that worked
I've still got the IMEI issue, but at least it works now.
