Good Day everyone, I have bought my new Alcatel One Touch 4010X. Is there any possible way for root the phone and use Custom ROM. The shop guy told me the phone is locked and only applicable to use DiGi ( Malaysia Telecommunication ). Is there any way for me to unlock my phone also ? So I could use any other network operators. :D

I really hope that someone will come up with a way to unlock this phone. Such a pity if this phone is sim locked.

Did you already tried the MTK droid tools?
I can help you... I rooted the 4030E and helped others how to do it. Basically every MTK device (the motherboard alcatel is using) will be rooted using the trick I did with the help of some other devs here...

i have try ur method but it doesnt work on my 4010x.

It will not work because it's specific to 4030x. but there's a long way to root ant MTK device... This is how I root mine. It is universal for MTK devices. It will root yours too and the dev (rua1) is very helpful to others.

After rooting my device, I made it simple by creating a shortcut since I have a working CWM recovery so no need to do other stuff. That is why my guide is specific to 4030x.

now, i've BRICKED my phone. i dont know where did i go wrong.

anyway im tired of flashing it again. so many problems of the drivers, and i manage to go until step 9. in step 9

at step 9, when i load into CWM and then connect to pc, it shows me

-- logo.bin ...it is copied
-- __nodl_expdb ...it is copied
-- __nodl_yaffs_system.img ...it is copied
-- __nodl_custpack ...it is copied
-- __nodl_mobile_info ...it is copied
--- task is complete ---
--- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!
--- ATTENTION! Recovery doesn't suit this phone!
--- Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!


i dont know what i did, i cant recall. i guess i tried to reflash the phone by SPFT...but cannot.

and then, i tried to UNBRICK my phone by using OneTouchUpgradeS, then the problem came in:

i chose 4010, then next i plugged in without battery, then it showed me wrong phone model (in the below attachement)

sigh. i need help deeply.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Did you flash only the patched recovery.img on step 8? It is important that only patched recovery.img is flashed. Also it your phone is bricked, flash the stock boot.img.

    What are the steps? Load scatter, ticked recovery and boot? Forgive me I'm not sure. Thanks a lot in advanced.

    Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

    P/S: do i need to re-edit the scatter file to flash recovery.img and boot.img? coz i edited to:

    no. never touch the scatter file unless it needs to according to log errors. IMO, your device was bricked because you have accidentally flashed pre_loader.bin. this usually causes brick. If you can't unbrick your device, don't worry, there's still a way.
    go this this thread and follow the guide there how to unbrick your device.

    then to root finally after reviving your device, use this tool. one of the mebers have already rooted a 4010 using it..

    yes, i follow rua1's method to ONLY flash RECOVERY.img, and it showed that to me. SO i followed your step (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191385&highlight=brick) which you have recovery and boot.img checked. and it still shows me the same unknown rom, cannot do backup.

    where can i get the STOCK BOOT.img and what are the steps. im seriously tired of running through. read xda for 18 hours.:crying:

    The stock images will be stored inside mtk tools folder. boot.img and recovery.img are stock, the ones like patched_boot.img, patched_recovery.img are the modded. Try flashing the stock boot and recovery thru so flash tool. If error occurs, try another version of spft.
