The VDF one is designed for the vodafone variant so that one will not work for you, the first one looks like the phone accepted it. I haven't used that tool before so not sure why it isn't working.
He got them from my firehose collection org
https://github.com/programmer-collection/alcatel/tree/master/Pepito
OK, deadman, I tried to do the following:
download EDLBackupRestoreTool
extract it
set the config.ini file content to the following (see attached screenshot for reference):
# Set QDLoader COM port here, as retreived from Device Manager
COMPort=com4
# Set Firehose loader here. Can be a path relative to the BackupRestoreTool script.
# This is taken from Mi A1 Fastboot package.
FirehoseLoader=bin\PEPITO.bin
# Set maximum transfer speed.
# Default of 16384 is the highest possible.
# Lowest possible is 4096 (I think).
# Be sure to use multiples of 1024 for best results.
# Reducing this may help with reliability and prevent freezing during transfer,
# at the expense of taking longer.
TransferSpeed=16384
set the partition_list.devinfo.txt file content to the following:
# Only devinfo partition
devinfo

fsc

cmd to the extraction folder
run BackupRestoreTool_debug.cmd
choose 1) Set partition list file [list of partitions to backup]
I get this: Current = partition_list.devinfo.txt
choose 2) Backup all partitions from partition list file
I get this: [#] Enter folder name or full/relative path to store the backup [must not already exist]:
I enter this:
C:\Q
I get this:
[#] Dumping "devinfo" to "C:\Q\devinfo.img"...
[!] An error occured. BACKUP IS INCOMPLETE.. Check device connection and COM port is correct.
See log.txt for details.
The log.txt files has this content:
Version 2.15

OK, I HAVE SOME NEWS:
I closed all QPST and eMMC Software Download programs and this time I didn't use eMMC Software Download to put the phone into download mode, BUT I set it to EDL from the recovery option.
This time, when I use BackupRestoreTool_debug.cmd to try to backup a partition (I chose a small one, "fsc", which is 1024 Bytes), The BackupRestoreTool_debug.cmd tool does not exit, BUT it hangs for a lot of time, saying "[#] Dumping "fsc" to "C:\Z\fsc.img"..."
What do you think?
