Hello everyone.

Edit : Root OK with KingRoot or Framaroot

Last fimware M1011 Branded by Sosh Without branded app except Orange Wifi (rooted)


Download link : https://mega.co.nz/#!O1ojVIgb!PqF0bn9gbF1-WvOOmENPVAdk0u1TdHjvXdeV0o8JNWo

Code:
For flash (You need CWM) 

copy custpack1011Clean.img  to /sdcard/custpack.img and CWM folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/

Boot the phone into recovery backup your current rom and restore attached backup.

You need to flash the "custpack" .

Backup your current custpack (From ADB in Recovery Mode)

cat /emmc@custpack > /sdcard/custpack.img.old

Flash the new custpack : 

echo /sdcard/custpack.img > /emmc@custpack

No, you must port them first in order to make work, and even then it may be buggy.

Here is backup of russian 6012D -> http://yadi.sk/d/pRNKN9nADtgLS Don't flash protect_f, protect_s, nvram and other partitions, just boot, system, custpack, recovery and other android-related partitions in order to avoid SIM lock or IMEI collision.

Meanwhile in Serbia:
I made few modifications for our TWRP to make this more compatibile.
  • Added reboot bootloader in reboot menu (this is so far best way for entering fastboot from soft brick state)
  • Added checkbox for mounting/unmounting /custpack (some scripts will need this when we port them for Alcatel JRD)
  • Added Format /custpack in Wipe menu

People who already have patched boot.img need to install just recovery_TWRP_FIX.img from archive attached below.

>>> Download Fixed FastBoot drivers from here <<< (manual installation is required, chose google fastboot i-face and ignore driver signing warning)
>>> Download recovery.rar from here <<<

Hello, do u have the sources that you used to build the recovery?

I want to develop the device source, and i have some experience on this... Thanks in advance

Already did all this and thats no work. :/



That's the point! I don't do anything! 2 days ago I try to root it using Frama and don't work, so I use Kingo app as suggested for other use and work everything great. After this I don't do anything more than install WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, and put my 8GB SD card with some music files. Yesterday at night I power off the phone before go sleep and today when I woke up, try to power on and that's no use, because freezes on boot at Orange logo. :/

I'll try to get intro recovery again and try to do this flashing process mentioned here. -__-'''

Any new help or suggestion will be veeeery welcome. T__T

It sounds like your Custpack folder in root is gone

Hey guys, I'm a complete noob in this forum, I have the idol mini since christmas 2013, so a year now, it's starting to run slowly and I want to root it.
The rooting part is easy, now, the second part, what does the custom ROM actually do ? Will it change the stock android to a cyagenmod one ? and can someone give me a "custom rom for dummies" guide ? thanks in advance !

root unsuccessful with framaroot and latest 01003 build on 6012D

Tried to root an Alcatel One Touch Idol Mini 6012D (Dual Sim) on latest build 01003 with Android 4.2.2 with Framaroot 1.6.1 and the newest 1.9.3 but both available exploits do not work. I saw that someone mentioned to have succeeded with VROOT (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434453) but I would like to get confirmation that root is still possible with the latest build 01003.

Hello,

I recently upgraded to build 01015 (in France, Mobile SOSH) and SuperSU is not working anymore (I knew before updating)
Could you tell me if this build can be rooted ?
Thanks a lot for your help...

Olivier

EDIT : *DONE* with Kingo Android Root :)

I think I found this interesting enough to post here,
This smartphone is really close in specs to the Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 mini L, and it has a 4.4 android.
It is possible to flash the idol 2 mini L on the idol mini?

    Backup roms for Alcatel Idol Mini/6012X/Orange Hiro/ Le shosh etc

    Thanks to CyberianIce, who has provided the files, I have managed to install the original firmware on my phone, an branded Orange Hiro. My personal oppinion about the original rom is as follows : the rom feels lighter, faster, fresh interface, no huge changes in the SystemUI, only some icons and images here and there. In Antutu benchmark, I got a score of 11170. A good score to be honest. So, recap : original firmware, ANDROID VR. 4.2.2, changed interface, more buttons in status bar, ALCATEL interface. Bugs, contact widget doesn't seem to work at all, if I set a specific contact, it won't dial or sms the contact, don't know why, ain't interested. For ROMANIAN users, there is no ROMANIAN language.

    With the original ORANGE firmware, stock android 4.2.2, the rom is simple, plain, good ol' android. Not so many buttons in status bar menu, after deleting some stupid apk's from orange, that I or other user will use, the rom got smoother, faster, obtaining a benchmark in ANTUTU of 10970. The lockscreen on the ALCATEL firmware has some usefull shortcuts, like dialer, sms and camera, the stock android orange firmware, does not. This stock firmware comes with a weather widget from orange, very annoying, doesn't update right, doesn't display the correct weather, it's useless, good for nothing, but...it can be replaced with any other custom widget. The contact widget works correctly, has orange gestures, little usefull app, and for ROMANIAN users, has ROMANIAN language.

    These being said, below you have the links to the firmwares, the ALCATEL and STOCK ORANGE one. In case of a mistake, don't forget to backup before you try something. If you want to change your current firmware, the files are provided below.

    For this, follow this tutorial.

    Download recovery image, provided by CyberianIce, TWRP fixed by him, and unrar. http://www.fileshare.ro/e30303974
    After downloading and puting the recovery image on the root of your sd card, install MobileUncle app from Play store. Go to the app and select update recovery, after this select the image, wait, press ok for install, and after this, reboot to recovery to make sure it works.
    Make a backup of your own rom, to make sure you can revert tot the old rom in case something goes wrong.
    After downloading the desired rom, unrar and place the content in the folder TWRP/backup/alcatel 6012X on your sd card.
    All of the above being done, enter recovery mode by holding VOLUME+ and Power button. After the phone starts release the power button and continue to hold VOLUME+ untill you have entered recovery. After this, access, restore menu, alcatel 6012X and select the rom you copied.
    Wait untill the restore is finished and perform a factory reset, data and cache wipe.
    And finally, reboot the phone in to system and wait for it to start, the first startup will take a bit longer, don't worry, wait, after the phone has finished loading, perform your setup and enjoy.

    Hope this is usefull to you, cheers!

    Links removed, someone will have to post the roms !

    Last night I managed to extract almost all images from Telenor SRB OT6012X (single SIM MK6572) using this eMMC map i found with MTK Droid Tools, After careful recalculation, my eMMC map looks like this:

    f7s8.jpg

    So I extracted this dumps, If here is anyone interested in unlocking bootloader, custom recovery images, custom kernels or baking ROMs.

    # Partition images:
    Here are some images (it's all you need, the rest is system reserved, protected and should not be flashed but I can provide you any partition on demand):
    preloader.bin (md5 checksum: a2bf893c835c2281c975325179492ff7)
    SECCFG (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    MISC (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    EXPDB (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    MBR (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    PROTECT_S (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    PROTECT_F (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    EBR1 (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    NVRAM (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    pro_info (md5 checksum: PROTECTED)
    uboot.bin (md5 checksum: 86b554a11c5f06c52cf20358aeaeb85d)
    boot.img (md5 checksum: 9034968e258ef3f4cecd5fa33c1b2119)
    recovery.img (md5 checksum: bd626f174ac6ebe64b51373bc272a155)
    secro.img (md5 checksum: 52fbe62805f374d8f37a0a6955d02fe0)
    logo.bin (md5 checksum: a79795c33e816ff62d330f40210fcb24)
    custpack2.img (md5 checksum: 1167a4c6b46829ae2c0cb025b9d8c143)
    mobile_info.img (md5 checksum:3d517b476445280a862486c29a8a5596 )
    system.img (md5 checksum: 17d51231493a839a65a8f36c4f6ae75b)
    cache.img (md5 checksum: PRIVATE)
    userdata.img (md5 checksum: PRIVATE)
    OTP (md5 checksum: ERROR)
    BMTPOOL (md5 checksum: ERROR)


    # Tools I used:
    SP Flash Tool v 3.1344 (refer to: http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/bb/?8379)
    MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt | MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.new.txt (eMMC Scatter for SP Flash Tools, generated form Alcatel OneTouch IDOL Mini Telenor SRB (OT-6012X) with MTK Droid Tools. Do not use NEW scatter file with SP Flash Tools v3, use regular instead)
    MTK USB Drivers v0.8 (All) (refer to: http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/bb/?8379)
    Logo Builder v1.4 (refer to: https://sites.google.com/site/kadanutilities/home/logobuilder-en)


    1ST SACRED RULE: MAKE FULL BACKUP WITH SP Flash Tools BEFORE EVEN THINK ABOUT FLASHING ANYTHING!

    * Do not flash preloader.bin unless you exactly know what you are after for! If you fail with preloader (i.e flash wrong preloader.bin), you phone will become permabrick, only hope is to find fine service with JTAG equipment and servicer who know where testpoints are, but they are very rare those days, in regular services people will prolly try to change whole MOBO at your expense.
    ** system.img and custpack2.img are taken from Telenor SRB ROOTED (with Farmroot 1.8.1 - boromir exploit), with latest BusyBox and all Bloatware frozen/disabled, but they can be reverted back to stock easily.
    *** All those files are here only for testing/education reasons and I am not responsible in any way for damage you can cause using files/tools you found in this post.

    TWRP Backup 01001

    I am sharing my TWRP backup for OT-6012X. It is based on Stock odexed 01001 ROM but rooted and has some minor improvements:

    recovery - latest fixed TWRP 2.4.1.0
    boot - fixed default.prop for adb and fastboot
    custpack - replaced hosts for adaway and android bootanimation.zip
    system - rooted, latest busybox, removed recovery protection, enabled init.d support, edited /system/etc/gps.conf for Serbia ntp for faster sattelite aquire. If you are not near Serbia, you may concider deleting that file

    Download and extract content of this archive into this directory:

    Code:
    /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/Alcatel_6012X_MT6572/OT-6012X
    Afterwards, boot into TWRP and restore from this backup called OT-6012X. If you can't boot in TWRP, but yet You are somehow sure you have TWRP installed, than follow this procedure. Once restore is done, format /data and /cache.

    If you are prompted to enter PIN for root access, enter code 3002. This can be disablet in SuperSU Pro app settings.

    [APP]Extend Notification LED on MTK

    Few people asked if it's possible to make notification LED works also for 3rd party apps like WhatsApp, Viber etc. Well, as far as I know - no. But, here is workaround which allows one to utilize button backlight as notification light;

    I found this useful APK specially designed to work with any MTK SoC-s which can extend LED notifications from various apps to hardware keys backlight to. It is good because can be used as Accessibility service for Viber, WhatsApp, etc. (refer to this page: http://fvicente.es/wordpress/led-de-notificacion-para-telefonos-mtk-notification-led-on-mtk-phones/) thanks to @franfj

    Screenshots:

    Latest release: MTKButtonLed 0.0.4.0.apk. For other or older visit referrer page (Spanish).

    *** This app works only with rooted devices. Tested and works fine on OT-6012X Telenor SRB Build 01001. Have fun!
