On Dwangs latest. Darn thing wont ever work with nandroid. Had to wipe my EXT3 to recover an old image. All my apps are gone. I had most backed up via Astro.
BUT
Theres a handful that I didnt have but now the market says "Installed".
Ive tried clearing all caches and data that pertain to market. Reboots... no luck.
Is there a way to fix ?
And for future reference ..best way to backup EXT3 without ADB ?
Try downloading the apps on an online market, then installing them off the SDCard.
this should work.
remove the folder /data/data/com.android.vending
then restart. it should refresh you're market.
if all else fails. re-flash.
if removing the vending folder doesnt work, just uninstall the app, and then try re-installing it? if it says it is installed, this should work.
ALSO, if you're apps2sd wasnt automatic and you had not rebooted since your last install of a few apps, they might still be in your internal phone memory. a wipe of NAND and EXT might help resolve any problems if all else fails

This should work nicely
Thanks for the help guys. Got frustrated just wiped and started from scratch.
Appreciate it.
NOTE: I will not be held responsible on anything that may happens to your phone... This proceedure is to DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!! and rooting the phone may void your warranty ..
These are the steps I did to successfully root my cheap Alcatel OT-890D in chronological order.
Step 1 is Optional, someone confirmed it also works without resetting the device
I reset my phone (go to Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset)
after restoring go to Settings > Application > check Unknown sources
then Settings > Application > Development > check USB Debugging
go to Market search and install Superuser App (its a freeware)
go to Market search and install for any file manager/explorer of your choice (freeware)
download this ( http://db.tt/kO7yvIT ) and transfer it to your sdcard
open the File Manager you installed and look for the app you transfered ("Gingerbreak-v1.20-1.apk") then tap the file to install
RUN the app (BUT MAKE SURE THAT AN SDCARD IS INSERTED AND USB DEBUGGING IS CHECKED)
inside the Gingerbreak app tap "ROOT" wait for the process to finish ( its NORMAL that along the process the sdcard sez unmount)
just wait
the phone will reboot if the rooting is successfull
it will take a while before phone reboots congratulations!! you have now successfully rooted your phone to confirm try to install a rooted app or simply install root checker fromm the Market.
CREDITS SHOULD GO TO THE DEVELOPER OF THE APP (Android Exploid Crew and CHAINFIRE) THANKS!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 BUY HIM A BEER!!!!
HOPE ROM DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!!!
NOTE: After rooting the device i installed system app remover (paid app) to remove the preinstalled apps/games/etc to free some space and everything went fine.
BEWARE: Ive tried system restore via Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset after root and system app remover and as expected, it did remove all the deleted system apps. Since procedures on how to flash the phone and default firmware link is still unknown, BE VERY CAREFUL on using system app remover coz you might remove apps/processes that is needed for android to boot or you'll end up BRICKED!!
oooppps!! dont know if this is the proper thread to post this.. MOD please edit. thanks!!
hi
well lets keep this thread for alcatel...

maybe the xrecovery that you installed is really not meant for our device. sad to hear exploring the phone further bricked your phone.
and why did you wanted to have that xrecovery? there still no custom roms for the phone and adb driver links can be found nowhere too... i still cant find any reason why would i like an xrecovery in my phone
i wanted to back up my original rom...but....i bricked the phone..
now i must wait the service to repair it
bad luck!!
Great guide, Thanks!!!
But a question.... i'm unable to ceck for firmware update... boot loadr don't start...
there is no firmware update yet...and you can not do that from bootload mode...if you want to entry in bootload mode turn of your phone,press volume up botton,and while press that,press tha power button too!
Thanks for reply!

Hi to all, I've just cleaned my computer and now I have reinstalled Eclipse. When I try to debug to device my Android Apps (before in another OS) now I'm getting an error that says that the APK signature has been changed (because I formatted my PC). How can I restore (or recreate) my previous debug.keystore file to give the possibility to all of my friends to continue updating my app without first uninstall it? Or, is there a way to regenerate this file from an APK (I backed up my app APK before format)?
Thanks and sorry for my English

you cant, there is nothing to restore, unless you had a backup, so no, they would have to uninstall and re-install I'm afraid Rule #1, cloud store your keystore
Hello!
At first, I am sorry that I have so many questions this week, but I need a final solution with my phone.
I used to use some custom ROMs which didn't satisfy me, so I decided to stay on rooted stock rom and just delete the apps I don't need, as I did on my former phones.
Everything runs fine until I start deleting unnecessary apps.
I get a boot loop everytime I deleted apps, even if they are non system apps (like flashlight etc).
I stucks on the motorola logo and stays there, no matter what I deleted.
Anyone who made the same, without boot loop?
And because of that I have a second question, when I backup my system with TWRP, will everything be saved including Whatsapp Messages etc?
Or do I have to re-register my Whatsapp Account after restoring backup?
Thanks in advance
For, 2nd question, Whatsapp account and messages are saved on /DATA Partition, restoring /data will probably Restore your Google/Whatsapp/Other accounts as well installed user apps and their data too,.... Your saved games and whatever it was before backup, you will get same....
And why you are removing System apps..? If it gives you bootloops, Simply just disable them in settings > Apps....

Because I want a simple rom, I don't want data of unused apps left on my phone, just of personal reasons.
It's like you have a keylogger or virus on your computer and just saying, "yeah I juxt disable it, that's enough"
I don't care about free space by deleting system apps, I just want to get rid of them because I don't like them
That's why I delete them with a root file manager, and I was always driven good with that way, but since I got the Moto G4, it ain't working no more without boot loop.
Yupp, i also did it with root File Manager.... It was simple to remove system apps till Android 4.4 KitKat, just navigate to System > apps find .apk and delete... But after it, in 5.1 Lollipop, they did change that structure and it became hard...
What i did till now is flash ROM and directly Remove system apps from Custom Recovery, then go for first boot.... During First boot it does optimization of system apps, so remove app before it get optimized or whatever process being done.....

Yes, that's what I'm doing to.
Flashing stock rom, rooting, downloading root file manager, delete apps from /system/app and /system/priv-app, but whatever I delete there, the stock rom stucks in a boot loop, at first I thought it was build in by motorola, but that wouldn't even make sense..
Currently Running busy, will try removing system apps in my device and tell you what to do....?

Removing system apps is always iffy and sometimes not recommended. And no it's not like a keylogger or virus at all. I know you don't want them but you can expect problems on your quest.
Hi guys, the v2.2.0 release broke the ability to root without side effects on the Google Play Store, but a workaround is provided in the post. In this version, VPN works.
Notes:
A fresh install is highly recommended.
In this version, rooting breaks something with Gmail and Calendar causing them to not be able to sync. If you really need those apps, I recommend not rooting POS.
Instructions:
Download the correct correct system.img.7z file provided in the Download section and extract it
Install Phoenix OS.
Go to C:\Phoenix OS (or wherever your Phoenix OS installation is) and replace the system.img file with the one you just downloaded and extracted
Boot into Phoenix OS and finish the system initialization wizard.
Install Google Play Services v11.0.56: (x86 | x64)
Open Play Store, sign in with your Google Account, install the latest version of SuperSU by clicking the Update button.
-(Optional) If you for some reason cannot use the Play Store, you can find SuperSU on the official thread. Download the flashable zip, extract Superuser.apk from the common folder, and install it in Phoenix OS by opening the .apk file with the default file manager that comes with the OS. You don't have to do this step if SuperSU updated successfully in the Play Store.
Open SuperSU, click Normal to update the binary, and your Phoenix OS should now be fully rooted.
Download:
x86: Google Drive
x64: Google Drive | MEGA

Thank you! Let me know if you run into any issues.
I'm sorry for the noob question, but does this wipe all data from a previous install? if so, is there a way to update without losing the data?

If you do a fresh install, then yes. You could try just replacing the system.img and see if it still works fine. Might want to backup the folder first before doing that though. Let me know if it works for you.

Will this rooted image also solve audio via HDMI. I currently have the latest Phoenix OS installed on my HTPC connected to Samsung tv via HDMI.
PC has Zotac H55 ITX Wifi A-E motherboard with windows 7, 64 bit, On board Realtek High definition audio. Sound is not working.

Highly unlikely. I recommend joining the Phoenix OS discord server
I have just installed Phoenix OS on my laptop (dual boot - .exe) and installed many apps too (like ig, fb, chrome, games, etc.)
If I root with this method (replace original system image with the rooted image), what will affects?
My installed apps will gone or not?
Thank you.

According to what users reported, your installed apps will not be affected I do prefer to replace it right after a clean install, but if that's the situation you're in, you could just replace the system.img without it affecting your data.img. If you're unsure, just do a backup/copy of the whole Phoenix OS folder if things go wrong

You can use RMXtools v1.8. It will involve extracting your system.img, injecting rooted files, and rebilding the system.img.
Hello.
Sorry, but I'm not in that topic I ask, does this OS support UEFI Secure boot?
Thanks )
