I used the updater but nothing, after i tryed to start the proccess again but i saw that the phone must be turned off. I restarted the phone by pressing Volum down + Power buttons and instantly plugged the phone via usb to the pc. The updated prevent the phone from restarting and the update is loading

Thank you very very much

The proccess stoped at upgrading the phone and now its not even load, it just saws the "idol X" logo and goes off again over and over again

I use this guide by flashing the rom in to the phone. I get to start the phone after i flash it but the it doesnt open the CWM i had, it uses the phones recovery where i cant instal rom from sd card, so when i reboot it, it shut down and after that it wont open even not at the logo screen. It works after i flash it again but without the CWM its useless. Im at some point where i cant do anything alse... even the guy at the mobile phone store couldnt do anything

Hi I also had this problem before, but please try this, download mix rom from lecomte_jean in page 4, then use sp flashtool and click firmware upgrade. It works for me, my soft-bricked phone came back to life...

thanks guys

Turn Off

My phone is Alcatel One Touch X 6040x

1. Is there a definitive guide to just turn off phone. Im stuck on bootloop but i cant get to recovery. I did it once by plug in charger and holding power for 7 seconds but i cant reproduce it. Im tired on waithin battery to drain...

2. What is difference between tclS950, Alcatel One Touch Idol X (both D annd single sim)

3. Is there a full working ROM other than stock?

4. If i flash S950_feese_01007 or TCL-S950-IDOLX-01006-20131023 do i lose CWM recovery? That would be bad since i installed from mobileuncle tools and im afraid to use SP Flash Tool.

You can boot into the recovery with fastboot;

adb reboot recovery

Or shutdown the device with;

adb reboot -p

3. Is there a full working ROM other than stock?
The Lewa roms are full working and for some people more stable then the stock ones.

4. If i flash S950_feese_01007 or TCL-S950-IDOLX-01006-20131023 do i lose CWM recovery? That would be bad since i installed from mobileuncle tools and im afraid to use SP Flash Tool.
No, you can flash the feese on inside CWM, reboot your phone and CWM is still there.

PS: Xposed framework isn't working here with Feese 01007 (bootloop), more people with this problem?

But when no computer is around, or adb not available? No battery access on device, how to turn if off physically

Thanks will try it.

Xposed is reason why i came to this thread, installing framework make bootloop 100%, it does not work with stock eather....
After xposed install i ended up in bootloop with no access to computer so i had to waith for battery to drain so i can access stock recovery to reset phone. After that i installed cwm and made backup...

Sorry, I don't no any trick to boot into the recovery without a PC. You can try it with the volume rockers claimed by TCL as working, but that don't works for me (Not with the orginal software as the CWM/Feese).

Ok thanks for the info, in 01004 and 01006 Xposed works like a charm, tomorrow some error log reading :).

I use original Alcatel firmware 01002 and latest Xposed releases (2.4.x) doesn't work for me. At the same time, Xposed 2.3.1 runs fine. Yes, I use CWM SuperUser.

Sent from my Alcatel One Touch Idol X (6040D) using xda-developers app

I'd like to flash MIUI to my Idol X, but I have doubts which CWM should I use - with custpack or without? So far I found information that CWM without custpack doesn't create custpack backup, but what about restoring it? Does it mean that I can flash any rom and my custpack will be intact?

i have tried to install latest Lewa OS v5 13.12.20, but it says assert build prop failed.

does anyone know, which lines in build.prop do I need to erase to make it work?
currently on Lewa 13.12.13_RU from this thread. can't even update current rom using zip provided on Lewa site.
