Sorry, my cwm backup won't boot. If you install the miui available for this phone, the update program will then restore from that point.
Hey there. sry for the late reply, Im glad u have ur phone working again. Ive used that MIUI rom. And in my experience, its not possible to flast or revert back to stock rom when in MIUI. So even if i upload a backup rom, it wont work, im 95% sure! The only way i got back to stock rom is via Alcatel mobile upgrade. Maybe you could try uninstall the mobile upgrade software and usb drivers, and reinstall it, just a theory. plus if you have questions regarding miui rom. just ask!

Sorry I can't help. The Alcatel update program worked for me once I had miui installed.I don't know why it just don't work for me, but I've already tried to reinstall the program, but not the drivers yet. I will test on another computer later.
I don't know if when you download the ROM via mobile upgrade program it saves the file inside its directory or not, could you check it? If it is there, then you could upload it.
Anyway, I have found a Russian 7041d backup, and when I restore it, a message shows up saying that the apps violated themselves security stuff or something like that. Then after that a pop-up appears every time don't know why it just don't work for me, but I've already tried to reinstall the program, but not the drivers. I will test on another computer later.

Anyway, I have found a Russian 7041d backup, and when I restore it, the phone boots but a message shows up saying that the apps violated themselves security stuff or something like that, about Strict mode. Then after that a pop-up appears everytime saying me to choose an action for the USB device but it doesn't even have an option to choose. The only thing I can click here is "the activity % is not responding" or something like that, but the pop-us appears again, forever and ever. I tried it with 3 different russian CWM backups of 7041d and they all have the same results.
Probably that's what you are talking about, right? Do you know why does it happens?

No it actually won't. At least for me it didn't. Did it work for you?

Yeah probably, and from what ive heard, 7041d have other versions of its own too(Vodafone russia and spain, and Orange?) so maybe that backup is specifically just for that device. Anyways this is what it looks like inside the mobile upgrade folder. Nothing much I can do.
Tried on another computer, but the same message about "there is no greater update" was shown.
What do you think about trying to flash a 7041d backup for SP Flash Tools on my device? I've found a russian backup too. It won't work, it is too dangerous or what? Tell me what you think.
Thanks for trying to help me.
No, don't. Flashing wrong files to your device could permanently brick your device as said in previous posts here.
OK nothing to do then. I am sad to say: MIUI forever. But that's it.
Yep, unless Alcatel miraculously give an update to your device.
Yeah I've thought about it too but it probably won't happen. They didn't even reply my email asking for help. Rumours in some Russian forums that Alcatel replied some people saying that they would maybe release kitkat for us on december 2014 or on 2015. But you know, just rumors, nothing to expect about them.
Could you link to the actual page? thanks

Hey, I've found this on their official sourceforge page. You can see there's download link to .xz files. There's one for your device 7040. I have no idea what those files are, but they're exactly the same size as a full stock rom. You could try to contact them or do a research of your own on what to do or how to flash those files. Because I have no idea at all.
Here is the link of the guy's screenshot. I've seen that before too. Just roll down the page and search for Alcatel POP C7 (Andriod 4.4). But if you click it, it will just open a empty FAQ. That's all for now.
This typo (Andriod) shows that probably they've added this section recently, which means that we are MIGHT (you never know, right? they might be crazy lol) going to receive KK and also that it is in final development (or not, lol).
And about the sourceforge page, I've seen that too, the russians were talking about that, and I actually downloaded it. But I don't know what to do with. I'll try to contact them and see what we can do.
Shame, I even got pretty excited for a second there, oh well.
Happy new year btw!
There is no update for your device yet. We also dont know where will the update will arrive.hi there! I'm using 7040D and waiting for the update kitkat now.... can I have update for my phone? how long is it?
