Root Roms For The Fierce 2

sooo im an idiot... i got a little ahead of myself, flashed the recovery with flashify, then proceeded to adb sideload clean.zip, flash1.zip, and finally flash2.zip... i cleared cache, wiped then rebooted and now it won't turn on, no led no anything... i backed up recovery and kernel but not full partition.. any advice ? lol

The 7040N Rom is verified good.
Stay away from the 7040T unless you have a one touch pop icon.

Someone get me a 7040T one touch fierce 2 backup and I will build it
Hi, Emm... Well I Have a question, My 7040N Cant boot on normal mode after i try to install the F****ing last OTA update, the phone start on recovery mode automatically, i cant flash the recovery (signature verification failed) I can repair the phone? Or if somebody habe the last update on a valid zip flaseable file please post it (i think this can repair my phone)

I would be calling your carrier and complaining.
A lot of people ended up with a brick after the last OTA.

My recovery fixes the Signature Verification Failed issue.

The issue is EVERYONE WANTS TO FIX THERE PHONE AFTER ITS TOO LATE.

I have said many times........Flash the fixed recovery before you go messin and kill your phone.

After the fact there is not much I can do.

I want to thank you @Bigcountry907 .I rooted my wife's phone mainly so I could wipe davik-cashe (thats fixed 32 of the last 32 phones I have fixed), but I have been scared to do anything else with root without a way to restore the phone.I have soft-bricked many phones using apps that use root and I know without a doubt to make sure you can restore before you do. Now I can fix her storage issue with the phone now. Thank you very much, your work is much appreciated! 7040N

After spending 3 days on this, hitting wall after wall I did it, only to realize the rom wasn't for Lolipop...

Well, it was my fault as after reading your posts again I realize you specifically said it would be the stock.

But one can dream, cant they? Is their a chance you could make a rom for the Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon (7040t) that has lollipop?

Also here is the update.zip for build 17001 which I copied before getting your new rom. Maybe it will help you on your quest, maybe not, I don't even know what the update does tho.

Quick thought. The bootanimation file seems to have something to do with the image loading or configuration some how. I'll have a look see when I have a spare second or two.

If the boot image can be modified then is it possible to compile a new kernel that would let us flash a custom rom?

After that It is not involved in what is going on it the android system any more. Right??
Bootloader has completed its job and goes home for the day.

So my theory is that the kernel or something in the boot.img is actually checking the device for modified files and if it dont like what it finds it loops.

If that is the case then if we modify / remove the checking from the boot.img then it will boot the system.

Im guessing that maybe the boot.img is simply checking something like the MD5 sum of commonly hacked deleted or modified system files. Change any of them and it refuses to load the android system.

I know it sounds a little oversimplified but hey ... who ever though we could get away with changing the key file in the recovery. WE DID. And the bootloader still boots it.

Well my "bud" said he could root the phone and it would be easy peasy. NOT ive been all over looking for a solution and this might be the closest ive been. I see the light!!! seems like the root process is temporary the way its going for me. But i did manage to use titanium backup pro . and then copied my sd card to my computer. So i have never done this before but managed to get adb sideload to copy and then not authenticate. so I read about extracting keys or permissions. and i got that on the sd card and copied it to the computer. Apowersoft Phone Manager seems to work.
I feel like im so close , what am i missing. any info would be great. Ive been given links that lead to programs were they want money or do 3 surveys and give your first born.
Thank you for your time and patience have an spectwonderfultastic day!!!

What if i'm running Linux !!!!!!
Hooray things are so much easier. :cool::cool::cool:
WE DON'T need no stinking DRIVERS.

No really though....If you seriously want to get involved in android development....

You need Linux. And i will tell you it is so much faster and pain free than windows I will never go back.:eek:

Nice......may i ask what version of linux distro your using???

When I wrote this I was using Ubuntu 14.04

I have been recently running 16.04 without any troubles.
Of course you should set up a Development Environment.

However this doesn't require you to have the Andriod AOSP or CM Source downloaded you just need the packages that would be required to compile with the source.

A good page.

https://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

Specifically Setting Up a Linux Build Environment.

If you need any help let me know.

It sounds like the phone is only booting into safe mode.
It's about one step away from being soft bricked.

You had to have done something?
Installed an update / deleted a system app / moved files around.....................

And I will ask the same question I always ask.

DID YOU FLASH THE RECOVERY FROM HERE BEFORE this happened?

If your answer is yes !!!

I can help you.

If your answer is no !!!!

There is not much we can do.

I would try really really hard to get this recovery installed and then we can re-flash your phone.
You will need adb access as root to ( dd copy the recovery to the phone)

Only other thing I can think is if you download Flashify apk file and put it on a SD card.
When you boot into the phone if you can install it and run it then flash the recovery.
Or see if you can get a terminal running on the phone.

Play around and see what you can do. If you can get to settings you should be able to turn on ad use the developer options.
And hopefully get adb access or a terminal or an app running.

Bigcountry907, are you still looking for a backup from a 7040T? I have an Alcatel One Touce Fierce 2 (T-Mobile) with the latest 4.4.2 OTA update installed and I just rooted it with Kingroot, replaced Kinguser with SuperSU and flashed your recovery image (and tested it with message.zip). I have not yet attempted to remove any software, so it would seem to be a good starting point for a backup for the ROM.

Let me know if you are still interested.

Yes a full backup would be great.
But I need 2 different types.

1 backup using onandroid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=162025

1 backup using this script.
Execute each command.
The files will be on the external sdcard in / bak directory
you need at least a 8gb sd card

adb shell "su -c 'mkdir /storage/sdcard0/bak'"

Bigcountry907,

Since I first offered, I have installed link2SD on the phone and installed many apps. Regardless, here is the backup using the commands you posted below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4s64dovfrd6n07/NewFierce2Bkup.zip?dl=0

Since I made a backup of the phone before installing link2SD and other apps using the script you posted several pages back in the thread, here's a link to that too:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3n4ujgsslbp4rg/Fierce2BkupClean.zip?dl=0

With respect to onandroid, I found the thread (it appears that you truncated the final 5 in the link you provided), but it suggests that I need a CWM, TWRP or 4EXT recovery installed to flash the onandroid zip. Since I have the stock recovery with modified keys that you provided, I'm not sure how to go about getting the onandroid app.

Dave.

Good Morning Dave

To use the onandroid script unzip the downloaded zip file.
take the onandroid.sh and copy it to /data/local or somewhere on the phone where it can execute.

If you use root browser you can copy it where you want with root-browser. (or ES File Explorer)
Then change the permissions to executable.
Then long press on the onandroid.sh (options to open the file will pop up)
Open the file as script and execute it.

The backup will copy to the sd card.

Primarily I will need the /data image from this backup.
For some reason it won't copy right with the DD command.

Thank you for your help.
