Do you have a firmware for this id: 5044Y-2ATNRS1
Or preloader thath can work with already posted firmwares?

My alcatel done with GB firmware skipping flashing preloader

Hi, do you have preloader for this pid 5044Y-2AE8GB1? My phone is dead and it don't wake up. I've tried several firmwares and all the preloaders that you posted. Thank's!

Hello all,

I have here an 'EE' (UK) branded Alcatel 5044Y , or at least it was.

To cut a story short I attempted to install Android7 on it which did not work (I think that is possible maybe) and to debrand it, but I accidentally wiped the preloader.

Despite trying various full packs from different places and endless scatter files, I was not able to get it to come to life.

The model exactly is 5044Y-2AE8GB1 , it is this preloader I think I need.


I used in the end the full pack from the thread "Alcatel 5044Y ROM Needed" not allowed to post links yet but it is thread id=2532376, but then I tried all the preloaders I could find too, including:

5044Y-2AHWGBK_4H5XCQX0_preloader
5044Y-2APWGBK_4H5QC1Q0_preloader
5044Y-2AHWIEK_4H5EC3E1_preloader
5044Y-2ASRCH1_4H5HCYH0_preloader

I tried with just preloader after formatting fully all memory , and then tried all combinations of just preloader / with / without the full pack as well. I was careful to spend time testing all combination out. All flash done without battery or sim.

The phone behaves when connected to USB it makes a noise in Windows like it is being plugged in and unplugged all the time, like a boot loop. No sign of life. Battery voltage is about 3.15v currently.

I also tried different versions of SP Flash Tool as well as the official Mobile Upgrade. That usually says 'read error' or sometimes when I had wrong data in phone it once said I had picked the wrong model!

So if anyone has the preloader "5044Y-2AE8GB1" I think that is all I need, then I can either flash in the rest of the "5044Y-2AOBGB2" pack (apart from preloader) or use the Mobile Upgrade suite to fix.

I did get it unlocked previous by code, might have to do that again. At least I lose the 'EE' branding applications I hope.

Thank you for any help.

I am hoping with the 2AE8GB1 file in the phone will be enough to bring it to life. Then I can worry about Android upgrades later!

Hello, thank you.

I tried preloader on its own (same results nothing)

Then I tried to be sure it was 'ready' , by full format then just preloader , then just data from "MT6737M_TCL_Alcatel_U5_Alcatel_5044Y_BUZZ6T4G_6.0 " (post 2 in this thread)

Same result, it appears dead. Battery voltage measured externally 3.2v now, I think that's enough it was on USB charger (wall socket outlet) for 8 hours

But when you connect phone to PC, it makes the USB connect noise, then it makes disconnect noise after about 3 seconds, then the connect noise again, like it is stuck in loop.

Flash tool memory test etc all OK.


A long time ago before the accident wipe: This may not matter but when it did work the recover screen said this:

TCL/5044D/BUZZ6T4G/6.0/MRA58K/U4H6G-0/User/Release Keys

Note: The "U4H6G-0" might be "V" not "U" , I have to read someone else handwriting for that.


I am thinking if i need to take phone apart to link GND to that pad to force it to stay connected but I am not sure.

The Alcatel Upgrader tool says "Read Terminal Failed" but it always said that, but Flash Tool not have any problem connecting to phone.
I do appreciate your help. Thank you so far.

Charge battery on external power source, to be no less than 3.7-3.8V

See what will happen.

Also, fully formatting the phone (without backing up "proinfo" partition), will render the phone
invisible to Mobile Upgrade, since it read vital data needed for upgrade/restore, right from that partition.

Thank you.

After a few attempts I was able to do this with (some) luck. In summary the Mobile Update v5.0.6 will still always fail with "Read Terminal Failure" but the v5.5.7 recognises the phone fine and attempts to contact the update server

The problem is despite repeating the 'full' procedure with/without preloader and/or pro and/or rest of data (not needed?) , it always says it is up to date, so it does not attempt to load in the software:

Cannot post pic not enough posts, but it says after contacting update server OK...

"There is no greater software version available to upgrade device, actual version of your device is the latest"

... so it will not load the default software back. Problem is it did this after I rested with just pro and / or preloader (no other phone partition)

So I'm sort of slightly stucknow as phone still appears dead, I did the full tests on a different PC (fresh install every driver and tools etc) which behaved properly apart from the 'you are up to date so cannot so anything' problem.

It is progress though as the Alcatel Tool does realise I have a phone connected. I did try the 'trick updater' pro_info files in the other topic but after trying all six for the 5044 I had to put mine back as the Alcatel Tool refused to 'see' the phone with the wrong one in.

Ok,

Now some retail PID's to try with ...

I have attached files, write them one by one and after each write, try with Mobile Upgrade.

post results ...

Thank you again Alex

I tested each one in turn as instructed, by writing it with flashtool to 0x80000 (battery out) , region (default picked by tool) "EMMC_USER"

Then I disconnected USB, waited 30 seconds and inserted battery then loaded the Mobile Upgrade Tool and connected USB when it was asking.

Each file behaved identically. They all wrote OK and they all returned same problem with Mobile Tool, popup window says

"There is no greater software version available to upgrade device, actual version of your device is the latest"

Tomorrow I may be able to ask someone to charge the battery for me externally (safely) to be 100% sure on that. But is reading 3.6-3.7 when I tested with multimeter when it is out the phone.

I think that is the next step, I need to be 100% (110% ?) sure the battery really is "full"
