Hi,
Could you share a working boot.img for the Hamachi device with me, please?
It's a matter of live or death (well, almost).
Best regards!

Hey,
bummer you are having issues. Getting a set of working images to use as
last resort backup is unfortunately both the place to start and a very
hard step to take. I am sure you have seen:
http://k.japko.eu/alcatel-otf-hackers-guide-1.html
which explains a lot. If you read between the lines, you can figure out
how to sideload one of the images below (possibly after opening it to
tweak the root access flag and then closing it) from the fastboot state.
There are some images available here:
http://vegnuxmod.wordpress.com/hamachi-alcatel-otf/
I have been running the 1.2 image since feb/march with good results (and
all the bugs in that version). The other images may work but I have had
mixed experiences with them: many don't boot, some boot but don't have
radio, ...
If you do the Facebook thing, they now have a group:
http://vegnuxmod.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/unete-a-nuestro-grupo-en-facebook/
where you could participate. They may have more recent images or other
advice.
Another project seems to be:
http://update.boot2gecko.org/hamachi/1.4.0/nightly/
with variations on the path for different versions. These images,
however, have not worked for me.
There are also partial images here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-hamachi/
though I think without the boot.img and the binary blobs.
Unfortunately, this is one OS project in which no one in the lead seems
to take on the responsibility to publish a solid set of working, rooted
images to help hackers get started. That means hacking is really
dangerous since you can't even really start by creating proper backups.
Well, you *can* but it might take you a long time to figure out how and
get it done. I think I ended up using a rooted image which booted but
had no functional radio to pull the original image from my phone. Then I
used a smattering of Android and UNIX tools to open it, tweak it, and
close it back up. It all took a long time to figure out.
Once you do get a set of working, rooted images: boot, system, userdata,
recovery, KEEP THEM. Recovering to fastboot on Hamachi has always worked
and then you can sideload the first three and keep going from there.
Good luck and happy hacking,
~adrian
