help me, alcatel ot 983 bricked
I think I bricked my alcatel ot 983 by installing something, seriously I didn't know what I was doing, I am so dumb, this is my first cheap android phone.
I found some file called Andread_32_i2e on google downloaded from 4shareddotcom and flashed my phone, and the phone now hangs in boot logo the green android logo
help me, I didn't make any back up
do I need the original stock rom or something, I got no clue

what do you mean unlock? i meant to unlock it to use in other network
i'm not a coder, so i'm not sure what is on your thread, ie. no unlocking info
Some kind person over at 'hotukdeals' did me a favour and got me the SIM unlock code from the carrier. Root was easy enough, unfotunately not much support for this device, without a CWM recovery, or a stock rom, Iam reluctant to do any further changes.
There is an official application called "Alcatel One Touch Upgrade NB v1.02" that may be able to restore people's broken phones to their default brand new state: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/E3K4W5EI/one-touch-upgrade-nb-1-0-3-setup-medoclite.exe_links
The .exe name says v1.03 so does their website but it is actually v1.02. This may help these of you who have messed up your phones.

my bricked phone keeps restarting so I couldn't use alcatel one touch upgrade
thanks mate but still my problem is not solved
the thing is alcatel onetouch upgrade tells me turn my phone off and connect to pc via usb cable but the problem is as soon as i connect my phone via usb the phone turn on, so alcatel one touch upgrade fails at 65% download from the server
I can get my phone in to recovery mode but I think I will need the rom, i dont know
if someone bought a new phone of this model and made a rom backup and if you can post that it will be really nice

if you guys could give me detailed instructions as to how i can extract the system.img file i might be able to help you. I have a stock rooted phone btw, i've uninstalled a few applications i didn't want and move some to sd using link2sd i think, not sure if that matters or not. My phone is currently not unlocked to all networks but will be within the next 2 weeks.

31Absolutely fantastic this!
Thank you very much it worked! First two times it did not work and i got a white screen and then it (luckely) rebooted automatically.
Things I did which may help others is start the Alcatel Android Manager and let it connect and then exit it. Furthermore i downloaded the drivers.zip files and just put them on my PC in the folder where I have the other files too.
Then I tried again and see voila it worked:

Came in recovery and did the magic! rooted and all updated SuperUser through Play and happy days!
Thanks a lot for the help and cheers!:good:
You're welcome
I forgot to mention about the 'white screen of death'. It happened to me loads of times before I managed to get into recovery. I found just tapping the Home button rebooted the phone back into normal operation. If that failed, I just removed the battery for a few seconds and then replaced it.
Now your OT983 is fully rooted, I recommend you download link2SD from Google Play to massively increase your app space on the phone. It's WAY better than the native app2SD functionality.
There's a good tutorial here:

No. No-one's even working on a custom ROM, let alone a Tom. :highfive:1
Sure, hope it works with other too! :good:
a question just to know.. (i'm a noob :angel: )
i read somewhere that if you change the privileges of the "su" folder with an explorer for rooted devices, maybe the other apps going to work too.
Is it true? i can't remember the topic/path of su folder...
