Let me tell you about all...
I was phone had Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread
This is how it started,
I rooted by phone successful and it has been working well for sometime...
I intended to install Root Call Blocker but it always told me that there is insufficient space.
I switched off and on again to recovery by Pressing the + Volume key and Power button.
This took me to recovery where I cleared,Cache,Dalvik Cache and Data.
When I rebooted it, it failed to start and just shows the Android logo and stops and it has never gone beyond there.
I have tried using the custom roms available at the link in @ alcatel918 dot weebly dot com/2-custom-recovery.html but the all install successfully but the phone fails to go beyond the logo.
That is why I am requesting anyone with such a phone running the same version to assist me with by may be backing up boot,recovery,data and cache and link up.
Thanks alot.
i have also the same problem ...if your problem is solve than please tell me, how to solve this problem and if u have backup of all this than please mail me at prpradeep5@gmail.com
and i have tried OT upgrade but it cant solve this..it is stick on 50%....
Same problem, now my phone it`s bricked and it will not even start, i hope that it still needs to charge a little
Install custom rom for specific device via recovery mode, power button + volume up.
Gingerblaze is specific rom for Alcatel 918 MIX (google this not sure if i'm allowed to post external links)
Use Alcatel's one touch upgrade software to download stock rom.
This method gets you out of recovery mode booting loops(i was stuck in this one), gets rid of unwanted roots (for when bring in device for servicing to ensure that your warranty is not voided). I was also rooted using blue rains' method for the Alcatel 918N, it works well with the MIX no issues btw.
Hope this helps!!!!:good:
The problem is that the phone wont power up , it doesnt respond to the power button, but when i connect it to pc using usb , then Flash Tool sees the phone.
My brother has the same phone so i tried flashing everything from his phone to mine (DSP_Bl,Uboot,system....) but still no luck to power on the phone.
if i can get to recovery that would be great then i could flash the original stock rom
Hi all,
I have an Alcatel OT 918 with Android 2.3.6 and Orange firmware. I will help you gladly wit those 3 files you are talking if you tell me how to obtain those files, because i don't know the procedure.
Can someone please give me the link to download the Original ROM for Alcatel OT-918(Without D/M/N)
Custom ROMs for the same make are also welcomed.
I errored with mine and I had never backed up.
Thanks
Thanks ruscan.calin
But the ones in the site are for Alcatel OT 918D/M/N and my phone is OT-918
I tried but...it failed.
I tried with the Alcatel Program and it says the phone is upto date.
Thanks

yes but there are sources for kernel only you need Android sources for your phone too
the single way is to get a recovery backup from somewhere...
to compile kernel sources take a look at this post
I can't believe that One Touch Upgrade is not working for your phone

please guys i have tried everything i could find
and i cant fix it
can someone send me a link with original rom for alcatel one touch 918
or any rom and scatter file that works with this device
thank you all in advance
Unfortunately it does not work by me either...
If you use SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224 you might flash it, but it would not boot.
I have restored user data and cache as described elsewhere with no luck.
Blank screen or bootloop to recovery...
