you can build your own with mtk droid tools there are guides in xda for that. or you can use my own as i know c7 have the same rom on all versions. But the cwm doesn't fully support the alcatel so it's useless you can flash but you can't make backup with it
Does anyone know a good guide to follow? I'm looking to root and flash CWM on my 7041X without bricking it. Thanks!
The quick sollution it's to gain root with RootGenius, install Mobile Uncle Tools, Flash CWM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51698373&postcount=3 and after that you will have all. If you don't like kinguser, install supersu, lunch it to gain root and uninstall kinguser after that.

to see the recovery with mobileuncle tool.
it must rename:
hanuma50_recovery in recovery
renamed them in CTR_recovery and TWRP_recovery and it works now. They can be flashed.
What i have seen it's that it does not have a mountpoint for protect_f and protect_s partition and in TWRP i have errors in mounting points:
Unable to mount '/emmc' - 3 times
Unable to recreate android secure folder
Unhandled flag :'backup=1' - 6 times
Updating partition details ...
Unable to mount '/emmc'
Unable to mount /emmc during GUI startup,
Unable to mount /emmc when trying to read settings
Does anyone know if this phone supports HDMI MHL with an adapter? I know it has USB OTG, but the HDMI I don't know. I know some french websites sell this adapter for this phone, but I couldn't find info anywhere.
So, following the tutorial that has been made for Idol X mini HERE and since i had already the scatter file from my C7 Vodafone ES, today i had on my hands a new C7 from Vodafone RO. So i have made a full backup from this phone using SP Flash v5.1408.00 without even opening it. So this back-up it's a fresh one with no initialisation on phone. Also it has the extra img of cache and userdata.
You can find all the files HERE . On attached image it's the backup address used and also the scatter file.
Hi guys,
I have a full working TWRP for the G3 mini, G3 Beat, G3s, D722, D744, F470

Only problem i cant bind in the sdcard, only normal storage.
If someone could help to activate the sdcard also, this were nice.

I found in the samsung forum a flashable Sony Bravia Engine 3. I tested on our LG and it works.
The colors a more .....colored - and a little sharper.
I have also a Bravia away flashable zip that remove the Bravia3 if someone dont like the colorfull display.
btw i load up the V10D Firmware to download. A user from here want to reflash his phone
http://www.mediafire.com/download/28a06j2d30wa9uh/D72210d_00.kdz
Hi, I've already installed TWRP but when you say zip file, there's an img file, so can't flash it this way, also tried to flash via flashify but I'm on LB and I guess that's the problem.
That's ok for me with flashify and recovery Sony Bravia.
Now I will test the D722 V10D Firmware with twrp or flashify.
I shared my reviews later ^^
Edit :
Except a little problem with my account office 365,
everything is fine even my sd card is mount correctly
Have you flash the TWRP recovery with FLASHIFY ?
click flash recovery.
click choose file and pick the recovery.
thats it. in recovery you can flash zip files.
oh sry. i see the link for sony zip was wrong.
i correct it and put a link for the HTC Beats Update in the first post.
I tried to flash, halts on error, downloaded beats and when I open it also some sort of error occurs, besides, apk its like 1.7 mb, and zip is 200 kb, is that right?
thanks for the effort! going to try new beats mod with my drums!
tried home flash program Run ADB(comp.) and using FLASHIFY(phone). The same result, the phone boot in Fastboot!!!
where is the APK file ?
please write a detailed instruction ?
Which one are you trying to flash? With flashify I could not flash any but a twrp version that's not here, beats just used the apk and that was enough. Bravia could not flash, I guess there's something wrong with the upload..?

And so. About recovery.
I found it through a program Flashify (with Play Market). wrote all ok. Prompted to restart in recovery - OK.
Next on the splash screen LG written on top of the text, something like fastboot command waits ... and so on. in recovery not entered.
Try to boot via adb - the same thing.
Write detailed instructions !!!

Hi, please be careful. This device isn't similar to the LG G3 which is the device you have. Its a lower model. So it wouldn't have worked with your device. Thanks for the info though This is the LG G3 Mini or S or Beat.

Not do the following flash will brick: unlock BL, update flymeOS4.2.8.2, use this software recovery(not philz);
Now you can enter fastboot or recovery? Or you can send the meizu after-sales,it is free.

Good, but there is easy way download that rom, and install it for TWRP(select full wipe, include internal storage) - emmaus.pro/MX4_custom_roms/Flyme/4.5.7i_twrp.zip
and there all stock Flyme roms for twrp - emmaus.pro/?dir=MX4_custom_roms/Flyme
Author all rom "nikk3d" russian 4pda users - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showuser=2196261
And this method works even on newest firmware, let's say 4.5.6i downgraded to 4.2.8i via 4.0.4i? Or is a easy variant of previous method, patched uboot by meizu remains after 4.5.6i upgrade if i understand, no matter if you downgrate to Kitkat?

i think, mx4 ubuntu touch version, and standard china version, - internal partitions(storage) name - different, so you gives write an error.

Thanks to all user's who making this for MX4. They are really engineers! I hope they will try for MX5.
Yes, the problem it is not official, and we cant get new update.
Why we don't write a email to Canynogen and tell them that we open the bootloader and put CM. But we want they make CM for MX4 and MX5, with new CM and updates?

Hi,
I also got my Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition a couple of days ago, and even I expected it to be not-so-polished, I couldn't believe the number of features missing and the number of unresolved bugs. Being a long-term Linux/Ubuntu user I will (from now on) closely watch the development process, but meanwhile I would like to use my new phone.
If you make it to flash Flyme, please share the full process.
It would be great if we could go back-and-forth Android/Ubuntu to check the progress from time to time (as Nexus can)

(Sorry for the spaces the policy doesn't allow me to post urls yet.)
I somehow thought that we can use official Flyme download from the Meizu website and the official Ubuntu turbo image without the need of installing TWRP or anything - and flash both via USB.
Functionality with TWRP would be a plus.
Well I think you can. Press both Volume up + power button, that's the stock recovery where you can flash images from meizu. So you probably can get Flyme when you have Ubuntu, but when you want to go back I think you'll have to flash the ubuntu turbo recovery back through fastboot. I think you can go without TWRP.

Well the power + up gives (a kind of) recovery that shows a screen with the Ubuntu logo in the center - nothing else. I believe the android version has a different recovery?
Ah I never saw that screen. Yes Android/Flyme has a different screen: like this
You can try to to use the Ubuntu recovery to flash a Flyme Rom. I did it with TWRP, but never tried it with the Ubuntu recovery.
The Flyme Rom replaces the recovery and boots with both TWRP and the Flyme recovery, maybe even with a Ubuntu recovery (I can't image it to be that different.).
Edit:
You might want to back up your current recovery. I just flashed the recovery from Canonicals website, and its just the English/Chinese Flyme one.
just a moment... thank's Pleytos, but we need the TWRP backup folder... on yours link there are the CM rom and on the Canonica site there are only the update.zip....
Keep in mind, also the partitons are different on Pro 5 Ubuntu, for this the best is to have the entire backup of an android phone, both CM rom and Update.zip are not flashable by TWRP (i have try)
and Toroman the recovery that you see is the original recovery, if you flash the recovery on Canonical website you have the screen posted by Pleytos BUT with this recovery you obtain only the unlock of ADB in recovery and, as you can read from the screenshoot to make an update you have to put a "update.zip" on root directory of the phone that, unfortunally in ubuntu edition, is read-only file system... i have just unlock it from linux terminal with a "remount,rw" but if you try to copy update.zip (many versions) to root fonder there aren't space enough...
I've make lot of try in this day and i have find two possible solutions:
- flash a rom with MultiUpgrade 4.8.5 (official software used by Meizu, that not start because some token is missing)
as reported in a big russian forum
- make a total erase of internal memory and rewrite it with a image from android Pro 5 phone (TWRP Backup)
Pleytos, one answer, wich room have you flash via TWRP? (both Ciano and Flyme, wich version)
All done... guide in details:
- on windows install driver: Samsung_USB_Drivers_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.9.0
- on linux: run from terminal "$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa" and "$ sudo apt-get install phablet-tools"
- download from here (http://people.canonical.com/~plars/touch/recovery-turbo.img) the recovery image with unlocked ADB
- turn off the phone and turn on with volume down pressed to enter in fastboot mode
- in windows go to the folder where you have fastboot / in linux open the terminal and give "sudo -s"
- make a flash of recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery-turbo.img)
- now download the TWRP recovery (i've used the 3.0.0 on this forum) and from terminal flash it (fastboot flash recovery "nomerecovery")
- now you have to copy first a CM rom on the phone or sd, before flash the CM rom erase completely the system partition, flash it whit TWRP and only after you are able to flash Flyme rom
keep in mind to make a full backup by TWRP and save it on external archive before operate. (it's less complicate for future restore and help you if something goes wrong)

Hi, i have from a couple of day the ubuntu edition of pro 5, for various reason i want to run android on it and also make an image of system to give the opportunity for android users to get the ubuntu experience... any help?
- i have flashed the recovery from canonical (recovery-turbo) with unlocked ADB
- i can access to fastboot and to adb trough recovery
- i have make a map of partitions (ls -al /dev/block/platform/*/by-name)
- i have try to copy the system to sd card ( dd if=/dev/block/sda41 <--- system partition of=/media/F49C-xxxx <--- my sdcard) but it not find the sd
- on the side of android flash i think that the procedure on this post maybe ok http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...53&postcount=3 but the software (MultiUpgrade 4.8.5) fail to start
- ever for android flash, i have also think to put a complete update.zip to the root of device but the / folder is read only system.

Hi! I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 from Faust93, AICP 12.1 Rom from Faust93, and Flyme 5.1.6.0G & Flyme 5.1.5.0G via TWRP, It worked for me. I haven't been able to go back to Ubuntu though. Ubuntu-device flash doesn't work for me.
I can also flash Flyme with the standard recovery/ Canonical recovery by putting it on /sdcard/

Yes I can help you, are you running Ubuntu on your PC or Windows?
Before flashing Android, could you maybe help me with getting some Ubuntu files back? I can also help you through a chat or something if that is easier. Never mind I finally did it!I can still help you though, if you need me
Hi , Am running Ubuntu over windows ( virtual box ) we can go with team viewer , or if you want i can install Ubuntu in separate machine , Please let me know how we can communicate

Hi,
I've been away for some time, and I can see some nice progress in making Android work on the Ubuntu edition.
I might be repeating myself but it would be ideal if we (who own the Ubuntu edition) can go back and forth seamlessly. Unfortunately my flashing skills are buried in the ancient time of the HTC HD2 so I need some assistance (as probably more of us do). Here are some questions, I appreciate the effort and the help (assume I'm using Ubuntu on the desktop) (if something is easier in windows - please note). This would be a full circle:
1 Is it possible and how to make a COMPLETE backup of the Ubuntu edition phone (including the recovery and everything) to be able to get back to the factory condition (and using what tools/steps). I think I have read somewhere that OTA updates does not work with custom recovery or something similar.
2 after making the backup from question 1 - assume flashing official flyme to make it like a factory android device. (orig.recovery, OTA and so)
3 flash ubuntu back using backup provided with one.
I guess the ubuntu edition has the bootloader unlocked factory default.
Info on flashing CM or similar can than be like flashing it on original android - assuming (2) is working
As already said, just a remainder - Ubuntu recovery screen that came with the original phone is just ubuntu logo on the center on the screen - I don't know if it is important for any feature (OTA or something)
Best regards!
Also, looking around I have found this - seems interesting also

Actually this is most interesting! I would love to buy this phone, ubuntu edition. But since it would be my primary device and ubuntu touch not quite there yet, I'm not. That page about dual boot seems outdated though. And it is about nexus devices
Being able to have dual boot with android or even as someone said above have a back up and every 2 months restore ubuntu and check the progress would be great.
