With this guide you will be able to :
- Update your phone, which refused to update with OTU (you have latest sw, version message)
- Restore phone to stock condition
- Change language/customizations
Things you will need :
- SPFlashTools some latest version (or one that works already for your model)
- Notepad++ or WinHEX or similar editor.
- pro_info file for your model
(can be read from phone, or requested, or grabbed from phone backup ...)
- Alcatel OTU upgrade tool for your phone, download from official site or google it "ie: "your_model upgrade "
first, you will need pro_info file for your phone - you can search for it,
back it up from phone, or (soon) download from this thread.
you will see something like this :
V5JF03D4UIWJ421SAA16Q2AA10C21A1 2049AUA
421 means - android version 4.2.1 (in this example), in your case can be something else. now, we change that into some lower number
V5JF03D4UIWJ412SAA16Q2AA10C21A1 2049AUA
obviously - magic is in the position 13,14,15 of that sequence ...
finally, after putting some lower number, save pro_info file.
if pro_info is not from your phone / operator,
you can also search other part inside PRO_INFO, and change pid too,
so flash tool will flash desired PID, then it will have same language pack, customizations etc.
PID Examples, as-is in pro_info file(s):
now ... after you edited software version, and desired PID,
open scatter file for your phone (model), and search for __NODL_PRO_INFO
and change it into PRO_INFO , save file in same folder where pro_info file is.
Open up SPFlashTools, load that scatter, it will auto-tick pro_info file
before flashing it to phone - do FORMAT !
Format the phone - whole flash except preloader
after all of that - phone is ready to be upgraded with official OTU updater.
(and this time it will accept update).
few examples from my pro_info files :
WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS !
- ALWAYS make a full BACKUP from your phone !!!
(use SPFlashTools, open scatter, write down "cache" beginning address,
go to READBACK tab - add - double click on added, select save folder, type - hex, start address default - 0x0000000000000000,
length - beginning of cache partition , connect powered off phone to cable)
- NEVER FULL FORMAT the Phone !
- NEVER Format PRELOADER ! (and never flash preloader from other phone except if it's totally bricked)
You have been warned !
Attached ... my pro_info collection ... You can edit it, put your PID, flash into phone,
and try updating with OTU.
p.s. I reopened thread, users should post their pro_info files here.
(before and after edit, success stories, PID of their phones - include all data, also languages of that pid !)
Dont post questions or anything else - it will be deleted !After some time, I will gather all into this main thread.
