Android Alcatel smartphone One Touch Pixi 3 (4.5) 4027D is an entry-level device that has gained popularity among undemanding users. If practically no problems arise with the hardware of the device during its operation, then the system software quite often causes complaints from the owners of the model. However, these shortcomings can be easily eliminated using firmware. Several ways to reinstall Android on your device are discussed below.

Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (4.5) 4027D, if we talk about procedures for installing system software, is a completely ordinary smartphone. The Mediatek hardware platform on which the device is built involves the use of standard software tools and methods for installing system software into the device.

Despite the fact that it is almost impossible to damage the hardware of the device using the firmware methods described below, the following should be taken into account:

Each manipulation of the owner with his device is carried out by him at his own peril and risk. Responsibility for any problems with the smartphone, including those caused by the use of instructions from this material, lies entirely with the user!

Before proceeding with rewriting the Alcatel 4027D memory to equip the device with new software, you should somehow prepare the device and the PC intended to be used as a tool for manipulating the device. This will allow you to reinstall Android quickly and seamlessly, protecting the user from data loss and protecting the smartphone from loss of performance.

Drivers

The first thing you need to take care of before starting operations with the Pixi 3 using flashing programs is the correct pairing of the phone and computer. This will require installing drivers.

In the case of Alcatel smartphones, to install the components necessary for pairing the device and PC, it is advisable to use proprietary software for servicing the brand’s Android devices - SmartSuite.

This software will also be needed in the next preparatory step, so we download the application installer from the official website. In the list of models you need to select "Pixi 3 (4.5)".

If any errors occur during the driver installation process or the smartphone is not detected properly, you should use the instructions from the article at the link below.

Data backup

Undoubtedly, complete reinstallation operating system Using any Android device comes with certain risks. In particular, with almost 100% probability, all contained user data will be deleted from the device. In this regard, before installing system software in Alcatel Pixi 3, you should take care to create backup copy information that is valuable to the owner. The Smart Suite described above makes it very easy to save information from your phone.

If you plan to install modified versions of Android, it is recommended that in addition to saving user data, you create a complete dump of the installed software. The process of creating such a backup is described in the article at the link below.

Launching recovery

At Alcatel firmware 4027D there is often a need to boot a smartphone into recovery. Both the factory and modified recovery environments start the same way. To reboot into the appropriate mode, turn off the device completely, press the "Volume Up" and, while holding it, the button "Inclusion".

Keep the keys pressed until the recovery environment menu items appear.

Firmware

Depending on the state of the phone and the goals set, that is, the version of the system that should be installed as a result of the operation, a tool and method for carrying out the firmware process are selected. Installation methods are described below different versions Android in Alcatel Pixi 3 (4.5), arranged in order from simple to complex.

Method 1: Mobile Upgrade S

To install and update the official version of the Alcatel system into the model in question, the manufacturer has created a special flashing utility. You can download the solution from the link below by selecting “Pixi 3(4.5)” from the drop-down list of models.

1. Open the resulting file and install Mobile Upgrade S, following the installer’s instructions.



2. Let's launch the flasher. After selecting the language, a Wizard will launch, allowing you to carry out the procedure step by step.



3. At the first step of the wizard’s work, we select "4027" in the drop-down list "Select your device model" and press the button "Start".



4. We fully charge the Alcatel Pixi 3, disconnect the smartphone from USB port, if this has not been done previously, and then completely turn off the device. Click "Further" in the Mobile Upgrade S window.



5. Confirm your readiness for the memory overwriting procedure in the request window that appears.



6. We connect the device to USB port PC and wait for the phone to be detected by the utility.
   
   

   The following inscription will indicate that the model has been identified correctly: “Search for the latest software updates on the server. Wait…".



7. The next step is to download the package containing the system software from Alcatel servers. We are waiting for the progress bar in the flasher window to fill.



8. Once the download is complete, follow the instructions of the utility - disconnect the USB cable from the Pixi 3, then press "OK" in the request window.



9. In the next window, click the button "Update device software",

   

   and then connect the USB cable to the smartphone.

10. Once the system detects the phone, recording information to the memory sections will begin automatically. This is indicated by the filling progress bar.

    

    The process must not be interrupted under any circumstances!

11. Once the installation of system software is completed via Mobile Upgrade S, you will be notified of the success of the operation and prompted to remove and insert battery device before launch.

    

    We do this, and then turn on the Pixi 3 by long pressing the key "Inclusion".

12. After loading into the reinstalled Android, we get the smartphone in “out of the box” condition,

    

    at least in software terms.

Method 2: SP FlashTool

In the event that the system crashes, that is, the Alcatel 4027D does not boot into Android and/or it is not possible to restore/reinstall the firmware using the official utility, you should use an almost universal solution for working with the memory of MTK devices - the SP FlashTool application.

Among other things, the tool and knowledge of how to work with it will be needed in case of return to official version system after modified firmware, so familiarize yourself with detailed description methods of using the product will not be superfluous for every owner of the smartphone in question.

In the example below, a “bricked” Pixi 3 is restored and the official version of the system is installed. Download the firmware package from the link below. The archive also contains a version of SP FlashTool suitable for manipulating the device in question.

1. Unpack the archive obtained from the link above into a separate folder.



2. Launch the flasher by opening the file flash_tool.exe, located in the directory with the program.



3. Add a scatter file to the flasher MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, which is located in the folder with system software images.



4. Selecting the operating mode "Fortmat All+Download" from the drop-down list,

   

   then press "Download".



5. We remove the battery from the smartphone and connect the phone with a USB cable to the PC.
6. After identifying the device in the system, files will begin to be transferred to its memory and the corresponding progress bar will begin to be filled in the SP FlashTool window.



7. Once the recovery is complete, a confirmation window appears "Download OK".



8. Disconnect Alcatel 4027D from the PC, install the battery and start the device by long pressing the key "Inclusion".



9. After a long, first startup after installing the system, you need to determine the Android parameters,
   
   

   and then you can use the restored device with the official firmware version.

Method 3: Modified recovery

The above-described methods for flashing Pixi 3 (4.5) assume the installation of the official version of the system 01001. There are no updates for the OS from the manufacturer, and it is really possible to transform the model in question only in software using custom firmware.

Despite the presence of many various solutions modified Android for Alcatel 4027D, we cannot recommend using firmware that is based on a system version higher than 5.1. Firstly, the small amount of RAM on the device does not allow you to comfortably use Android 6.0, and secondly, various components often do not work in such solutions, in particular the camera, audio playback, etc.

As an example, we install custom CyanogenMod 12.1 in Alcatel Pixie3. This is firmware based on Android 5.1, practically free of defects and specially prepared to work on the device in question.

1. An archive containing everything you need to Android installations 5.1 can be downloaded from the link below. Download and unpack the package into a separate directory on the PC disk.
2. We place the resulting folder on a MicroSD card installed in the smartphone.

Obtaining Superuser rights

The first thing you will need to replace the software of the model in question is obtaining root rights. Superuser rights for Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (4.5) 4027D can be obtained using KingROOT. The process is described in detail in the lesson at the link below:

Installing TWRP

Installation of custom firmware into the smartphone in question is carried out using a functional tool - a modified TeamWin Recovery environment (TWRP).

But before this becomes possible, the recovery must appear in the device. To equip the Alcatel 4027D with the required component, we perform the following.

All further manipulations on the smartphone’s firmware will be carried out through TWRP. If you have no experience working in the environment, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the following material:

Memory re-partitioning

Almost all custom firmware for the model in question is installed on re-allocated memory.

To carry out the operation, follow the steps below, and the result is the following:

• The section is reduced "CUSTPACK" up to 10MB and a modified image of this memory area is written;
• The volume of the area increases to 1 GB "SYSTEM", which is possible due to the use of memory that is freed as a result of decreasing "CUSTPACK";
• Expands to 2.2 GB partition "USERDATA", also due to the volume released after compression "CUSTPACK".

Installing CyanogenMod

Any other custom solution is installed in exactly the same way, only in step 1 of the instructions above you select a different package.

Additionally. Google Services

The modified version of Android installed according to the instructions above contains Google applications and services. But not all of their creators bring these components into their solutions. If the use of these components is necessary, and after reinstalling the system software they are missing, you should install them separately using the instructions from the lesson:

In this way, an overall successful model from the well-known manufacturer of Android smartphones Alcatel is updated and restored. Remember the importance of following each step of the instructions exactly and positive result guaranteed!

Full firmware for Android smartphone Alcatel One Touch POP 3

Before any actions with your smartphone, it is advisable to make a full backup; I personally don’t do it (all my important files are stored in the cloud). And you decide for yourself.

How to Backup Alcatel One Touch POP 3

If you have a smart phone with custom recovery ( TWRP recovery or CWM)

Insert an SD memory card into your phone, at least 4 GB
Boot into TWRP recovery mode.
Connect your phone to your PC and run CMD on your PC ( command line) enter the command in it:

If CWM is installed, then you need to mount the SD-Card, to do this, enter the command:

mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/sdcard1/

To create a “Full device backup” enter the command:
For CWM

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 | gzip -c > /storage/sdcard1/full.gz

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 | gzip -c > /external_sd/full.gz

When a device backup is created, you will not see progress in cmd! At the very beginning of the line, the cursor will blink (as it should). Wait until the command appears. The process is long and takes 15-30 minutes.

Firmware for custom recovery on Alcatel One Touch POP

Installing custom TWRP recovery makes it possible to install custom firmware on your smartphone.
– First you have to find out what CUSTPACK is
CUSTPACK is a section in memory on which some of the system resources are located on our device, which differs from the generally accepted ones. In general, there is no CUSTPACK section, and all information is stored in SYSTEM.
– If you plan to stay on the stock firmware and you only need recovery for a convenient backup, then your choice should fall towards RECOVERY with CUSTPACK.
– If you plan to install custom firmware, then your choice should fall on RECOVERY WITHOUT CASTPACK. They require installing custpack2system.zip to revert to the common, single SYSTEM partition WITHOUT CUSTPACK. Installation is done with recovery.

Download the program SP Flash Tool and drivers, as well as the scatter file Attached file MT6580_Android_scatter.zip
as well as the TWRP 3.0 recovery itself (unzip after downloading)
Create a folder on your desktop and copy scatter.txt and recovery.img there. Moving the folder with SP Flash Tool to the root of drive C, go to the folder and run the file flash_tool.exe, open the Download tab, click Scatter-loading and select our scatter.txt (a table will appear in which there will be one checkmark next to recovery).

WITHOUT CONNECTING the smart, click on Download, and only then connect the USB cable with the TURNED OFF smart (the cable must be good). If everything is correct, then first the red scale will appear, then the yellow one and OK!!! (perhaps the drivers will be installed first). Turn off the smart phone and hold down the power key and volume + at the same time, wait for the screen to react and release, TWRP recovery

Flashing custom firmware via TWRP recovery

Download the required (liked) firmware on your PC and then copy it to your smartphone’s memory or memory card:

Download firmware for Alcatel One Touch POP 3 – FlymeOS 4.5, Cyanogenmod 12.1, Asus-POP3_5025

Then reboot your smartphone in TWRP mode recovery mode, go to the mounting section (put a check mark on all partitions). Go to Cleaning / Cleaning Expert (check the boxes for Dalvik/ART Cache, Sustem, Cache, Data, Swipe to the right). Go to Installation / find *******.zip (here is the name of the firmware you downloaded for Alcatel phone One Touch POP 3), swipe to the right.

Mobile Upgrade S is the official program from ALCATEL, which allows you to update the firmware portable devices of this manufacturer, using for this Personal Computer or laptop. All that is required from the user to install the update is to connect a smartphone or tablet via a USB cable and find the required ROM (firmware file). For this you need to “go” to the official website of the developer or to thematic forums. Please note that you need to use Mobile Upgrade S only for older device models. New ALCATEL devices are successfully obtained Android updates"by air".

Usage

The program is a kind of step-by-step wizard that will guide the user through the process of installing the update, giving him everything necessary instructions. Among the strange features of the application, it is worth highlighting the fact that it cannot automatically determine the model of the connected smartphone/tablet. That is, you will have to select it yourself from the drop-down list in the start window.

In the second step, the user will be asked to ensure that the device is connected and active. You also need to enable USB debugging. For some reason, the developer forgot to mention this. The third step implies the need to specify the path to the firmware file, and the fourth step involves directly installing the software update. Please note that Mobile Upgrade S does not allow downgrades.

Technical information

As official software, Mobile Upgrade S is available completely free of charge. It is also worth noting that the program interface is completely translated into Russian. The same applies to the documentation accompanying the program. No additional driver installation is required for the application to function correctly.
