DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.


Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

CHANGELOG for 3.0.2-0:

-Fix a bug with the input box that affected masked inputs (passwords). This fixes decrypt of full device encryption on devices that support decrypt. This bug also impacts encrypted backups. Users are highly encouraged to stop using 3.0.1 if you use encrypted backups or if you need decrypt of data in TWRP.
-Add Greek translation to some builds.

DOWNLOAD:
CLICK ME! or HERE
If twrp doesn't boot for some users use this one - twrp-new.

HOW TO FLASH:

@pelostiesos has provided a rar file that has everything you need. Run all your commands from that folder (unlocking bootloader and flashing twrp). Thank him too!!

UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:



- Power on device and boot into Android.
- Connect the device to PC through cable
- Go to settings -> about tablet -> hit 7-8 times on "build number", congrats, you're now a developer!
- Go to settings -> developer options -> hit USB debugging and press OK on the popup window. If the connection is working, one more popup is going to appear asking you to allow the connection, Tick the box "always allow from this computer" and press OK.
- Open an adb terminal and check if the device is working properly typing "adb devices". The serial number of your device should appear, so everything is OK!
- Now, boot into fastboot typing "adb reboot-bootloader". The device is going to reboot and boot into fastboot mode, waiting for command.
- For the bootloader to be unlocked, you have to type "fastboot oem unlock". A warning message regarding bootloader unlocking should appear on the device, waiting for an answer. Press the volume+ key and the bootloader is now unlocked! WARNING! ALL DATA ON THE DEVICE IS GONNA BE WIPED, so backup your files before.
- Wait for the wiping of the device to be finished and then you're ready to install the twrp custom recovery!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.
If I want to confirm yes nothing happens.

Good luck getting them to give it to you and if they do dont expect it to be complete your best best is to find a complete source for a similair model device with same hw etc ive done it many times before most mt6572 is all the same even some 6582 source can be made to work on 6572 your best bet is micromax very very similar to alcatel

Hi, I have a couple of dumb questions: first, do I have to make the back up with SPFT or can I use TWRP? Second, my Pixi 3 is the (4) 4013E version, which I've only found CM12.1 as the highest android version available, there's a LineageOS 14 version for the (3.5) version and I was wondering if I could use that rom instead.
Anyway if anybody could answer this I would appreciate it.

Use twrp, any version other then KitKat tends to have bugs and worser performance issues especially 14.1

Hello everyone!
I've looked through the Pixi forum and at some point kirito9 was talking about trying to build a custom rom for the pixi 3 10" tablet. (8079 Model). Have you managed to do it kirito9?
Looking like crazy for one but had no luck so far

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm looking for some help:
1. for my TWRP issue
I was able to install TWRP via adb, however I can barely use it.
I mean TWRP or the tablet itself detects my touchpoints absolutely wrongly, I need to touch 3 cm higher to use a feature at the bottom of the menu and so on.
- I installed 'twrp3.0.2-0-8079 .rar' on my OneTouch 3 - 10" tablet.

2. for my root issue, I'm looking for a way to root my 8079 (3-10" tablet)
So, upon this I can't root my tablet.
I tried to install Kingroot (downloaded from XDA, as kingroot.net is dead) but it can't root it.
I also tried to root it via Kingroot PC (English version, also from XDA) but at this time the PC application can't detect the tablet - says undetected.
- Debugging mode is enabled ofcourse, as I previously mentioend that I was able to install TWRP via adb.

Please someone give me some help :D

Hello, not sure if this is the right place but I "accidentally" deleted the Downloads & Download Manager apps from my 9005X Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 (8). What ways could I go about reinstalling system apps again?

Hi there!

First at all, I'd like to thank you all. I'm not a dev nor anything related, but thanks to your forum I was able to recover two old mobiles that were about to be dumped :highfive:

Right now, I'm trying to flash my Pixi 3 4.5 4G, and I'd like to know If I can use this ROM, even when it is meant to work on the 3G model:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65411999&postcount=800


Will something important get broken if I do so? Maybe is there a version of this ROM (or similar) made for the 4G model?

Thanks in advance!

You didn't understand me :) I have compiled the rom successfully with the prebuilt kernel. Just asking for a hw-compatible kernel source. So I can use the mt8127 source right?

It's better to use the code from alcatel for your kernel and not the common source. It won't boot without a lot of modifications.

    KINDLY READ THIS FIRST POST BEFORE PROCEEDING TO DO ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IF YOU DISREGARD THIS!!

    I'll advise anyone thinking of modifying their phone to first make a backup with SmartPhoneFlashTool (SPFT).
    It's the best way to backup and restore your stock ROM (if you want OTA updates ;) ).
    You should make this backup before even rooting your phone. If you rooted, then unroot it and make the backup with SPFT.


    Link to make a backup with SPFT- https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html

    We're good? Sure we're good? Made your backup? Then proceed below to reap the benefits of rooting and custom ROMs.

    How to root and recovery Pixi 3 (4) 3G

    Yesterday i ported a clockworkmod recovery from the Alcatel Pop D3 to this phone so root is now possible :laugh:.

    Requirements:

    - PC running Windows 7/8/8.1/10
    - USB cable
    - CTR recovery


    Instructions:

    1. Download the attached Kingroot.apk and send it to your phone's storage. If the kingroot.apk does not work for you , try the PC version you may have a better chance of rooting using that. Link here

    2. Install kingroot and make sure there is a working internet connection.

    3. Click on root and there you go. Root access for Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3(4). :D

    4. Or if you already have a custom recovery you can flash Update-SuperSu.zip. :laugh: SuperSu link here


    Flashing Recovery:


    1. Download and install Flashify or Rashr from Google Play.

    2. Download the attached recovery.img and place on your sdcard( you should rename it the recovery to recovery.img).

    3. Flash the recovery.img using Flashify or Rashr and enjoy. :laugh:

    ANY BUGS PLEASE REPORT IN THREAD AND NO WHERE ELSE

    Note: Other Pixi 3 models like the 4013X/4003A etc may have to replace their firmware folder located in /system/etc/firmware from stock ROM in the downloaded ROM. Flash the respective Kernel Patch for those experiencing a white screen and Alcatel logo.
