Alcatel MTK - How to trick OTU Updater to update your phone !

[Brka]

Ok,

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 "

**** EDIT #1:
After lot of research - only working way with pro_info, is editing PID.
You can try with PID from other similiar models
(ie: 4007D pro_info will work on 4007x etc.)


PID Examples, as-is in pro_info file(s):

PID example from 4010x : HIW4010X-2ADHMY1-S40
PID example from 6012x : JFX6012X-2CRGES3
PID example from 985x  : 985X-2DTNRS3

now ... after you edited with 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


few examples from my pro_info files :

SQJC35D43NVR9T4SAA3271AA21C08A1   	1322Q58			985X-2DTNRS3		==== ot-985x

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.
