Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 Thread [ROOT][RECOVERY][ROMS]

https://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/

there is no 8079? can you help me for finding it?

Ahhh my bad, I forgot that Alcatel didn't release any source for this. You can embark on a very tedious task of hacking the source of a similar device with the same kernel and modify it to your device.

New rom Alcatel 8079

Hello

Do you have a new rom version for Alatel 8079 (Android 5.0.1 build 01006 or Android 5.1)? Because what’s available here doesn’t install many apps from the Play Store.

Thanks

 

[Bertonumber1]

Found this alcatel pixie 3 4.5 (4g) in cupboard was a tough little bugger to root/twrp

Had to root with kingo root then replace with super su to get busybox installed as system was stuck on ro.
After that I then had to flash UNsu.zip, flashed magisk 21.0 and all was good. Some messing around though.
Think I'll just stick to disabling/debloating the 5.1. 0 lollipop stock rom and stick with that though. Thanks for the help OP (from the archives)

Respect

Hi, could any developer do some work for this post and develope a custom rom for alcatel OT pixi 3 10" tablet model 8079? Any android above 5.0.1 lollipop higher than preinstalled android? Like MM or Nougat? Thanks

 

[Huilopanich]

Hello kirito, Thanks a lot for making this thread and taking time out to help all these people. I'm attempting to flash TWRP on my Alcatel One Touch Pixie 3 9010x model but non of the recovery roms actually boot. Could you help me out?

 

[PuLPeRz]

Hi everybody,
I own an old Pixi 3 8.0 tablet (model 9022X) but it's stuck in a bootloop. I haven't found any custom rom or official firmware dump on the internet, so I think that my only hope is to restore the original rom using Mobile Upgrade Q.
When I try, it stop at 20% because it can't find a newer version on the server.
There is some options (command line parameter, file .ini editing or other magical trick) to force Mobile Upgrade reinstalling the same version?
Otherwise, could someone share a firmware's dump so I can try to flash it via QPST?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays to everyone!

Hi everyone , does anyone have a debloated rom for pixi 3 8gb model (8079) ? Thanks in advance

 

[SadBoy99]

The download links do not work, could you please re-upload the files, I would appreciate it eternally

 

[TheTesrter]

I FORMAT ALL PARTITION OF THE PHONE, then I open adb sideload and put in the cmd: adb sideload MIUI 7 v5.10.2.gm.zip. Up to here we are. Now the problem is when it starts flashing. then at some point (if I remember correctly 57%) it says: adb: failed to read command: No error. The phone restarts and stays in the boot forever (Obviously there is no operating system).

Help please

You can use SP Flash Tool v5.1612.

Download Link:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/zi7f6...h_Pixi_3_9002X_MT6582_27022016_4.4.2.zip/file (DONT WORRY IF IS 9002!)


Extract this, then open sp flash tool, and then select the scatter file, click download and then insert the USB cable in your phone (the phone can be on booting, on boot loop)

Rom link down, could someone reupload it ?

[Cyanogenmod 12.1 ][LP 5.1.1] Pixi 3 (3G MODEL)

Attention all Pixi 3(4) XDA members. CM12.1 LP is now available for download :laugh::laugh: It was ported by Getakgt1, Faustino L. Padill, klark231 (MT6572) and AL3XKOol for the base (MT6582). Erriezzans ported it to the Pixi 3 (4) and made it available for us. Thank him too.

ROM IS NOT STABLE. IT IS A BETA VERSION. DO NOT EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE WORKING. SEE BELOW FOR WHAT'S WORKING AND WHAT'S NOT.

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.

This is purely Android 5.1 with Cyanogenmod features.

You can read more here at this blog here. This is the host site for All Pixi 3 (4) ROMs, soon other versions.

Hey, I have a Pixi 3 10 8079 and it got stuck in a boot loop after I tried installing twrp. I see a glitchy screen when it boots. SP Flash Tool won't see the tablet. I am on Linux. What can I do?
