Are all these roms and the new 4.4 rom compatable with all idol x devices ? (Alcatel and Tcl )

I know the alcatel idol x and tcl idol x have the same specs and they have the same design but are they exactly the same inside ?

Hope they are the same :D

Try to flash the phone with SP Flash Tools !
Use :
Official , STOCK 1006 Flash with MKT tools, NOT with CWM recovery

I saved my phone with this tool :)

You can try to install a rom with adb sideload.

Hi, I have a big problem with my 6040d. (Alcatel One Touch Idol X dual-sim)


It just doesn't turn on, nothing, no led light. I tried to connect it via USB and nothing appears. SP Flash Tool can't find it, Windows can't find it and MtkDroidTools can't.

What can I do?

(yes, all drivers are installed correctly and worked before, I just rebooted my phone and it does not work anymore after installing CWM via SPFlashtool.)

Future of this thread ?

RaNd.gr posted that is not going to maintain anymore this thread updated ... so I'm afraid we will never see any update with 4.4 here.

I'm a bit worried because Idol x is a very good phone and I think It deserve a updated topic here on XDA.
Anyone is going to take care of this ?

kerpass, you have to follow those steps
Please note that it didn't work for me with the latest version of Mtkdroidtools, i had to use 2.5.1 version. google ti to find this version
Just follow my tutorial here (use Google translator) :

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/al...ead-ufficiale-tcl-idol-x-119.html#post5001435

All what you need is Mtk droidtools:

1) connect your phone to pc

2) open Mtk droidtools and wait until it's recognized

3) go to 'root, backup, recovery and click on 'to process file ROM_from Flash Tool'
4) select the ROM_0 you've downloaded an press open

5) klick 'yes' if you want to create a cwm recovery (stock will be saved) and wait until the entire extraction process finished.

You have now a full firmware to flash with SP Flash Tools :thumbup:

Have fun :)
