Hi everyone!
I think I managed to brick it... Can it be recovered from this?
Model Alcatel 1SE 5030D
Idea was to get it rooted...
I managed to finally unlock the bootloader.
I unpacked the official rom with SPD Tool and then patched the boot.img with magisk in order to flash it with fastboot.
Once this done, phone rebooted and is stuck at the very beginning.
It goes no further than the screen with alcatel logo and powered by android with the message of "lock flag unlocked" at the top left.
Cannot reboot to recovery or fastboot.
Cannot be recognized by windows or linux.
Thank you in advance.
the boot.img is embedded to the rom, sometimes as a payload.bin or an encrypted file (Inside a scatter file) , usually located in /dev/mtd/ or /system/bin , and so on .
To READ the encrypted Boot.Img from the Rom you actually need to read The SCATTER FILE, SPD TOOL, or SP Flashtools are the tools that help you -- LOAD THE ROM and read the scatter file. You could open a whole rom on your own and browse the files inside and you will never find the boot.img , you have to open the rom as a scatter file, as far as i know.
With root you can actually extract the boot.img file if you know the location of it for example:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/boot.img
or
dd if=/dev/block/***** of=/sdcard/boot.img
_____
The problem with these devices is that they dont accept flashing anything into it besides system.img
To allow to flash recovery.img or boot.img , you'll have to input special codes with a special software from the Alcatel Company (we don't have those, cuz they're not leaked)
What you did was trigger a lock, a block to the phone by trying to bypass that security code they placed onto the device.
You took the boot.img out, patched, and then placed back inside/reflashed it as an individual file, with spd tool or adb, if you did with a flashing tool then, this triggered the security of the phone, and maybe other img's got patched and flashed too (or corrupted) such as recovery.img, boot.img, vendor.img , product.img , etc etc, (these are all just regions of the ROM read through the scatter file) ( i guess this locked ur device)
Repairing it :
1) IF YOU can still access into fastboot mode (bootloader) somehow.
** I think just reflashing a new ARM ROM compatible with ur storage partitioning can fix it
(A only or AB )
(try booting the phone and then connecting it to the usb cable , to the pc, and doing
command: fastboot reboot bootloader
or fastboot devices
if you're lucky and its detected , or goes into bootloader you can just do fastboot flash systyem /name/of/rom.img
and this could flash a new rom and revert the boot.img, recovery and everything else to default
thus helping you boot ur phone again.
2) If you can't even access recovery or bootloader (fastboot mode)
** What i think you have to do to repair it is the following, REFLASH the full rom again onto the phone with sp-flash tool
GET the UNPATCHED Boot.img (i hope you made a backup of it), get the whole intact rom, (or any other compatible working rom) the scatter file intact and reflash the WHOLE full rom back again with SP FLASH TOOL
(forget about Placing the PATCHED boot.img in the scatter file) we wanna use the unpatched files, all virgin.
SP FLASH TOOL gives you an option to reflash A WHOLE ROM, i suggest to try reflashing the stock ROM (considering its good) or Reflash another Android ARM AOSP ROM, you can find plenty here in XDA, i can give you links (make sure to HAVE A GOOD ROM this could also be the reason your phone got corrupted, the boot img and files you were handling were probably already corrupted or flashing them simply broke the security code thats about it) that is why you want a ROM that is known, and good for any phone/tablet, preferrably with the same chip as yours or with enough reviews or comments from others, 90% of the roms we can find in google have viruses or are corrupted, specially considering its ALCATEL no one handles this, AND WE ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR PHONE ACCEPTS recovery.img, boot.img , etc without trigering any security codes, if you extracted your own ROM/stock firmware then its alright, thats fine. but you forgot about the security codes, you triggered those i think. Make sure that scatter file loads into SPFT without error, SPFT checks the PRELOADER and DSP_BL and if they aren't in the scatter directory, it will fail and maybe crash. the regions/files can get corrupted. Everything is in green, everything is setup, then you can click " Flash whole rom " this is what you need i think that way you revert everything to default , Boot.img, recovery.img all of it that got locked (you triggered the security code, i think so, because if it wasn't so , it would just boot loop, since yours boot loops and then WARNS you, it means you triggered some code or corrupted something)
3rd option return that Alcatel Toaster, to the company and pay them to repair it , cuz they have the softwares to do all this in just a few clicks.
The issue is the company, they suck hard, and all phones they make are low quality phones .

The same thing happened to me when I tried to use a rootkit method for rooting the phone when it apparently knew nothing about the most recent updates (MRA58N or MRA58R). I ended up having to manual flash each individual image file from the MRA58N factory image (the flash-all script in the factory image zip wouldn't work). Even so, when I rebooted it still displayed the Your Device is Corrupt message. Then I went through the manual root process again (flashed the modified boot.img through fastboot, then flashed the latest TWRP recovery via fastboot, and then used TWRP to flash the latest SuperSU. Only then did the Your Device is Corrupt message go away and I also had root with everything else working fine.
It definitely made for an un-Godly horrible first 24-hours with my new phone! I hope this helps you.

can you please tell me steps i am so afraid to do anything to my phone now and i think my problem is same as yours
i downloaded 6.0.0 (MRA58R) and i used option in toolkit flash stock it gave me an error
"failed (data transfer failure (unknown error))
Its not so easy to brick nexus, but make sure you don't lock bootloader before your phone is working right. You can find the guide how to flash it on XDA.
You will need to flash the missing files by hand.
I was able to fix the erro i got by flashing by :
setting up environmental variable
copy all the flash files, all.bat bootloaderXXX.img... etc to platform tools folder
made sure i connected into usb 2.0 port not usb 3.0
then i flashed the stock firmware XD now my phone to point zero again

You don't need to move the files to the platform-tools folder.
Go to Nexus 6 General > Sticky rol-up thread > Adb and fastboot. What is it?
This will tell you how to set up and use adb or fastboot properly.
As with my thread related to https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-8/help/nokia-8-sudden-restart-occurred-randomly-t3852357
I would like to flash the latest System stock OS (since there is no custom ROM yet) and decided to wipe all. I do have TWRP and all I need is system.img, boot.img or full zip to be flashed in TWRP. Does anyone have the file? Any latest up to September or October is okay if it is out there. If anyone does have it, may I request Google drive File sharing since that's the fastest file host that I can download. If there is no one have it, I will just take the obsolete one. However, I won't know if it will solve the problem.
Thank you.
Nokia 8 have more version . 1052,1004,1012...
-In version 1052 . so congratulations u have a f**king phone. The phone can't use ost tool or boot to edl mode
-There nothing rom or zip flash via twrp . only firmware flash via ost tool and ntool.
- If ur phone brick, for easily try ntool.
If u want a hard way, alrealdy have. There is a link of firmware nokia file nbo https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1t64iHuQQjmMnzcujZtjYplh6ipbiF6Cw?usp=sharing

Then use https://www.google.com.vn/amp/s/for...eneral/nb0-unpacker-packer-tool-t3699464/amp/ for extract file nbo then u can flash system.img in this... But remember dont flash boot will break ur wifi.. However i find a way to make this worrking again ... But i dont sure my tutorial work or not although my phone save wifi again...

Uh, there is a TWRP already which we can flash the system.img and boot.img or we can use fastboot to flash them.

I already have that file. I need the latest October Patch 2018 System.img and boot.img. Anyone has it?
Hello everyone :laugh:!
Tried rooting the Nokia 4.2, did not know which img to use exactly so I tried one from some other shady site and messed up. Luckily, the recovery partition was still working. After trying to boot lots of images, I got tired and accidentally even flashed a Nokia 6.2 TWRP image to my recovery partition. Then I completely messed up. The phone only gets into fastboot now. May I please ask some help of you? I've been trying for days to fix things. I just wanted to root the original firmware. Now when I try to flash TWRP, it even says that the 'recovery' partition has no partition table! I can still write to boot_a and boot_b though. The phone originally had the October patch level, but before bricking it I upgraded it to the December level.
Kind regards,
Alexander47u

I have tried this using QFIL, however the phone is not detected. The phone also goes into fastboot as soon as the cable is plugged in, even when the phone is off.
Have also installed appropiate drivers for QFIL, but no luck.
Extract the system, boot, dtbo, vbmeta and vendor img's from the downloaded archieve and flash those using fastboot

#metoo
Haha, I have done the EXACT same thing as you. Now I can only enter fastboot mode and when I try to flash anything I have downloaded I get an error about missing partitions. I have looked everywhere for details on the partition sizes, mount points and so on but nobody has uploaded the information. In the end I went and purchased a second device in order to dump the entire stock ROM in order to fix the first phone. I've got the second phone running in ADB-mode but I can only backup to an .ab file so now I am back at square one. All of the guides I can find on how to dump the ROM involves flashing TWRP recovery but THERE IS NONE FOR THE 4.2 :crying: And after researching Android forensics I have found a guide to dumping the ROM but it needs root access in the phone shell. All I wanted was root (and LineageOS). Does anyone feel like patching the stock ROM and making a zip-file containing the img-files from all of the partitions?
Hi. You need to check which slot is in use, A or B. You can also choose slot A or B with fastboot. Then you flash the images to the partitions by appending _a or _b to the partition name.
E.g.
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
Etc.
You also need to make sure you have a recent version of fastboot, as the fastboot in some Linux package managers or blog posts for Windows give you the older one, which does not support changing active slots.
Inside the stock rom that can be found online, there is another archive containing the needed images.

Thanks for the tip! Looks like I solved it earlier, I found a "user_update" zip in one of the downloaded ROMs and used fastboot update user_update.zip. Wuhu! I did not specify the slot but the system boots up. On the first boot I got an error message asking me to restore factory settings which seemed to work. Now all I need to do is get root access... Alexander, did you manage to flash a rooted recovery now? Thanks in advance!
You need to put the stock boot.img unaltered on a sdcard or the internal storage and then run the Magisk android app. It will offer an option to patch the boot.img. Then you can place the patched boot.img back on your computer and flash it using fastboot.

I was able to succesfully patch boot.img with magisk, then I copied the patched boot image to my computer with linux. Fastboot flash boot boot.img worked but upon reboot I got an error message saying "corrupt data" and offered to do a factory reset. Any chance you can upload your patched boot image so I can use yours?

Kindly provide me that zip too.
I made the mistake of reading that the firmware is the same for all three 10S models, and accidentally flashed the wrong magisk-patched boot.img.
Now, to fix my phone i Need to flash the original boot.img, but I can't find online the ROM for the Maltose variant.
Anyone can help?
I was able to find a dump of the file from here. And though that fixed my boot issue (note: the dump says it's for MIUI V12.5.14.0, whereas my phone has version V12.5.13), I still can't get root because when I patch that file with Magisk, and flash it via fastboot, it doesn't boot, and goes to FastBoot until I reflash the original.
So, the question now is, where can I find a patched boot.img for [Maltose]?
Since there's nearly no threads regarding Maltose, it might be best to leave this thread here for future reference of other users.

Okay, that seems correct. I downloaded the RoseMary IMG version 12.5.13.0 and extracted the boot.img file, after flashing it on my device's boot A & B partitions, it does boot correctly.
I am still having issues rooting my phone, but I guess that's a different issue and requires it's own topic.
I successfully flashed my European oneplus 10 pro using the instructions - see link below.
Everything worked VERY WELL, except texts/sms I could'nt receive but could send.
I spend hours and hours making it perfect.
I had the perfect phone.
So if someone wants to know how to use lineageos with full GAPS, just follow the link below.
Then being so STUPID, for no need and no reason I continued following the same instructions and tried to root the phone.
And then this disaster happened that boot is looping and I cannot run: fastboot reboot fastboot.
Meaning that I cannot repair my phone.
All I can do is push the volume down and go to recovery mode. That's all.
My PC can send fastboot commands but I cannot go to the menu where it's chinese and english and from which I could run commands to flash my phone properly back to where it was.
I don't care loosing the data and loosing so many hours of effort, but I REALLY need my phone back to work.

Thank you Savio, but this is my main issue, I cannot enter fastbootD.
Whether using the tool "fastboot enhance" or using the command line. I cannot reach FastboodD.
When I try to reach this using the tool, it's looping with no error log.
And when I try from CMS:
C:\Users\me\Downloads\from dumper> fastboot reboot fastboot
Rebooting into fastboot OKAY [ 0.000s]
< waiting for any device >
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
It also still sounds like your recovery.img and/r boot.img still may be corrupted.
this needs to MATCH in BOTH slots A & B
Try this:

This is where your fatal mistake was.... the red line above is incorrect !
It should have been, "adb reboot bootloader" THEN "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
you never want to straight FLASH any modified boot image when working with an a/b partition device.. or pretty much ANY device running the dynamic partition scheme. This is because of the way the partitions are laid out. Something about flashing a modified boot.img directly breaks things... BUT you had a DOUBLE FLAW in yours because you not only flashed a modified boot img directly, you ALSO flashed "magisk_patched.img" to android, which does not have a file named "magisk_patched.img" in its manifest.... android has "boot.img" in its manifest. Understand?? I have seen this flaw ALL OVER the place and no one seems to notice that, so im hoping several ppl finally realize the MAJOR error that they are making.
The android manifest has the EXACT names of every file to be loaded into the system, and any deviations to that list must be incorporated into the BUILD structure when making the os. In other words, say you wanted to build a custom flavor of android from scratch, and have the recovery be installed as a homemade "TWRP" build. Now im talking about FULL BUILD not a port, or remake of an already built OS... I am meaning "1st install... everything from the ground, up.... similar to what lineage does" ... THAT is where the origin android manifest is built... and all updates/custom mods/roms that are made from the original that you created, MUST FOLLOW the exact same file structure, and naming scheme that is in your original manifest. recovery.img needs to be named recovery.img .... system.img needs to be named system.img .... in the case of most of these boot loop issues (BUT NOT ALL) alot of ppl either find some guide written by a person who has never rooted a device in their life, but felt inclined to serve up some untested set of steps that had a fatal flaw they overlooked. THAT is what happened here.
Whoever wrote those steps obviously never tried them before writing them, or they would have had the same result as you. You CANNOT have a completely different named boot image FLASHED to the boot partition! Those steps are instructing you to FLASH, "magisk_patched.img" to the boot partition, where android is expecting "boot.img" ... if those steps were at all to be taken to be the real intention of the author then he would have needed to add a line prior instructing the reader to "rename the file from "magisk_patched.img" and make it "boot.img" ... then in the next step it would have been "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ... but i still DO NOT recommend that, as like i said it can cause errors. If at all possible you always want to BOOT the patched boot.img file 1st, because if there is any problems with it or android rejects it, all you have to do is restart the phone, and it will boot back up to the UNMODIFIED boot.img ! ... but if you FLASH it, then it has no old boot.img to revert to... thus the boot loop..... (bad boot.img ..... reset ..... bad boot.img ..... reset ... bad boot.img ..... reset...) <-Bootloop.
When you BOOT the patched image, though and it loads into the OS with no problems, then you have confirmation that the file was patched properly and is compatible with your OS. NOW you can simply open the Magisk app, and it will see your phone as already rooted, so you can then tap the install button, and then MAGISK will install itself correctly to the right partition, AND make a backup of the file that is from your stock os.
hope that sheds some light and also more ppl take time to read this! Ill make a regular post about it shortly for more visibility.

This is where your fatal mistake was.... the red line above is incorrect !
It should have been, "adb reboot bootloader" THEN "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img"
you never want to straight FLASH any modified boot image when working with an a/b partition device.. or pretty much ANY device running the dynamic partition scheme. This is because of the way the partitions are laid out. Something about flashing a modified boot.img directly breaks things... BUT you had a DOUBLE FLAW in yours because you not only flashed a modified boot img directly, you ALSO flashed "magisk_patched.img" to android, which does not have a file named "magisk_patched.img" in its manifest.... android has "boot.img" in its manifest. Understand?? I have seen this flaw ALL OVER the place and no one seems to notice that, so im hoping several ppl finally realize the MAJOR error that they are making.
The android manifest has the EXACT names of every file to be loaded into the system, and any deviations to that list must be incorporated into the BUILD structure when making the os. In other words, say you wanted to build a custom flavor of android from scratch, and have the recovery be installed as a homemade "TWRP" build. Now im talking about FULL BUILD not a port, or remake of an already built OS... I am meaning "1st install... everything from the ground, up.... similar to what lineage does" ... THAT is where the origin android manifest is built... and all updates/custom mods/roms that are made from the original that you created, MUST FOLLOW the exact same file structure, and naming scheme that is in your original manifest. recovery.img needs to be named recovery.img .... system.img needs to be named system.img .... in the case of most of these boot loop issues (BUT NOT ALL) alot of ppl either find some guide written by a person who has never rooted a device in their life, but felt inclined to serve up some untested set of steps that had a fatal flaw they overlooked. THAT is what happened here.
Whoever wrote those steps obviously never tried them before writing them, or they would have had the same result as you. You CANNOT have a completely different named boot image FLASHED to the boot partition! Those steps are instructing you to FLASH, "magisk_patched.img" to the boot partition, where android is expecting "boot.img" ... if those steps were at all to be taken to be the real intention of the author then he would have needed to add a line prior instructing the reader to "rename the file from "magisk_patched.img" and make it "boot.img" ... then in the next step it would have been "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ... but i still DO NOT recommend that, as like i said it can cause errors. If at all possible you always want to BOOT the patched boot.img file 1st, because if there is any problems with it or android rejects it, all you have to do is restart the phone, and it will boot back up to the UNMODIFIED boot.img ! ... but if you FLASH it, then it has no old boot.img to revert to... thus the boot loop.....

Thank you, BB, for the clear explanations about respecting the structure of the partitions and not messing directly with the boot partition using a modified img.
Do I need to reach the conclusion that my phone is broken forever and there is nothing I can do to fix it?
I thought that as long as I reach the recovery mode, I can still fix it.
If you have a brilliant solution just as brilliant as your teaching, could you please help me restoring my phone to a functional state?
And BTW, it was a TRIPLE FLAW, because I had a wonderful lineageos 19 working like a charm with GAPS and I just wanted to root it for no reason.
Many thanks for your efforts.
Damn. Nice to know Lineage works well on this phone with extensive tweaking. GSI's can be pretty unstable from what I've seen, missing cell reception and the like.
Yeah, flashing that image killed the phone. I've seen some people recover by flipping their boot slot to the other one and forcing the phone to boot the stock boot there. But if you've flashed to both slots, you're most likely SOL and need a MSM flash. In which case, you could try flashing the complete stock boot image for your OOS version you were on before moving to GSI to both slots as sort of a last resort, but even then I've only seen minimal success.

I appreciate your help a lot.
I tried all the commands you showed, but I keep going back to this error:
fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
I guess it is like a computer. The BIOS move to the Master Boot Record and it moves to the operating system.
It my case, the boot record or boot loader is broken.

I understand that MSM is no longer available.
Any other direction how I can just fix the booting process?
And this is another error I received which gets closer to the source of the problem:
FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Bad Buffer
I’m assuming Adb does not work?
why don't we get boot_debug and vendor_boot_debug images to debug and then boot into fastbootd and flash it again, why waste time researching these unrelated things.

Yes right, adb doesn't work, only fastboot is still alive

Thanks for taking time to answer.
Could you be more specific?

[TOOL] Oppo/Realme Flash .OFP File on Bootloader
A tool to flash .ofp files in bootloader mode without needing MSM Tool, an alternative to official realme tool. THE DEVICE MUST HAVE THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED Features soft unbrick install stock firmware switch device region Credits...
forum.xda-developers.com
WHICH BROUGHT ME BACK TO FASTBOOTD
AND FROM THERE I USED FASTBOOT ENHANCED AND FLASHED PAYLOAD.BIN
AND MY PHONE IS BACK EXACTLY AS IT WAS WHEN I PURCHASED IT
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the reasons why I decided to wipe this stupid oxygen os is because they limited my notifications to 5 seconds WTF ?!!
I didn't mention that I have previously bricked my first OnePlus 10 pro completely, so much so that I received a new one from the provider.
I flashed it successfully using Lineageos 19 and brickED it again trying to root it.
Now, I'll be looking for a solution to remove this stupid f%#$%# limit for Whatsapp notification. Any suggestion?
And I'll wait for an advanced modified ROM for OnePlus 10 PRO.
That's true that it worked very well using Lineageos 19, but text/sms didn't work and I saw that ROAMING was greyed out, so I cannot say if it works or not.
A BIG THANK TO ANYBODY WHO TRIED TO HELP ME.
BOTTOM LINE, ALWAYS HELP YOURSELF FIRST AND NEVER GIVE UP.
I spent over 100 hours on this phone, and here I am back from scratch, but at least with a WORKING PHONE.

THIS WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE !
After I thought everything was back, I noticed that the battery stopped charging.
I flashed again Lineageos and it worked but yet the battery didn't charge.
I re run the python script but this time using another OFP and it showed successful.
And yet it successfully killed my phone. Completely dead for the second time.
Hundreds of $ and of hours for a F^&& phone.
Huge lesson to learn here about choices.

Damn. I think what happened is you lost your persist.img when initially flashing the first ofp, that thing controls low level stuff like fingerprint unlock and charger cable auth I've seen on these forums. I'm not sure there's a way to get it back either outside of a MSM Flash, certainly haven't seen one here.

It's okay to spend a little money. It's very risky to do it yourself
Did you managed to get fingerprint working on gsi ?
