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.

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!
[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.
