Error: The SQL function "_()" is not allowed.
How to enter flash mode
- Recovery: Power on the device with both and buttons.
- Fastboot: Power on the device with both and buttons.
Stock fastboot was removed on update from Android 5/Lollipop to 6/MarshMallow.
Installing lk2nd is required to run mainline kernel anyway.
Installation
- Install lk2nd (alternative bootloader that provides a standard fastboot interface) to boot partition using either:
- Alcatel Flasher tool
- emmcdl with Idol35_5_NPRG7627.bin or edl.py
- dd command from TWRP
- Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation.
Touchscreen
There are two touchscreen variants:
- edt-ft5x06
- synaptics / rmi4
Currently, only the edt-ft5x06 one is enabled.
If you have the Synaptics one, you'll have to edit the DTS file to disable edt-ft5x06 and enable synaptics, then rebuild the kernel package.
This shall be solved in lk2nd in the future.
