Repairing a Partially Bricked IDEA id-918 Smartphone

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys I am Back with another tutorial. Well I got many request from users to help them repairing their IDEA 3G Smartphone.

Here I Begin-:

Note-:This method will only work if you have access to recovery or can boot upto android logo

Things Required-:

1.All drivers installed(If u have bricked your phone while rooting your phone with this tutorial you must have the drivers already installed :) )

2.One Touch Upgrade Software

3. A lot of patience :P ( Only for those who have a 512kbps or less speed broadband :P )

Download Links-:

1. One Touch Upgrade

2. Android Manager ( To install drivers) Ignore if already used the rooting tutorial

Now everything is ready

So do as Directed :)

1.Install Android Manager ( Ignore if already have the drivers)

2.Install One Touch Upgrade Software.

3.Open One Touch Upgrade Software.

4.Select English

5.Choose Alcatel 918N and press Start.

5.Now Just follow the onscreen instructions.

6.Now click next

7.Now Attatch the phone to the PC via USB Cable

8.Now it will connect to server and downloading package.

It will take a lot of time if you are on a slow connection as data of about 600MB is downloaded during the procedure.

To save this time next time, Just goto C:/One Touch Upgrade/ and copy the downloaded folder onto different disk drive or partition after update is complete.

Troubleshooting-:

Q.Nothing is happening when I connect the phone to the PC ?

First try to remove the usb cable then battery and reinsert it and try again. Else install android manager so that the drivers are updated.

Q.Download Complete but showing some kinda error?

Don't worry your download will not go waste. Just do the procedure in above answer and reinsert the usb cable.

If more doubts you are free to ask :D

I hope this solves your problem:D

Regards
