error: cannot load 'system.img'

[lufte]

Ejecuto todo en orden pero cuando va a flashear me dice:
Flashing system
error: cannot load 'system.img'

Voy al script (estoy en linux) y veo que para flashear invoca fastboot de la siguiente manera:
./fastboot flash update/system system.img
No estoy muy seguro de cómo funciona fastboot (nunca flashee un teléfono), pero calculo que no puede encontrar el archivo porque la ruta debería ser update/system.img.

lo mismo aqui. Flashee manualmente con fastboot flash userdata y system, juego reboot tal cual como lo hace el script. El equipo arranca pero no reconoce la sim card. Volvi a mi respaldo y todo funciona bien.

Alcatel OneTouch Fire

@liezie: while this gets resolved, you could try to fix your phone by installing one of vegnuxmod's images at http://vegnuxmod.wordpress.com/hamachi-alcatel-otf/. Right now I'm using the v1.4-20141115 version. Quick instructions:

1. Download file and unzip.
2. Restart you phone in fastboot mode by holding the volume down button while powering up. It should show Alcatel's logo and stop there. Connect it to your computer.
3. cd to the unziped folder and type ./fastboot devices to check that the phone is actually in fastboot mode. It should return something like MSM7627A fastboot.
4. Now type all the next commands:
   4.1 ./fastboot flash boot boot.img
   4.2 ./fastboot flash system system.img
   4.3 ./fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
   4.4 ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
   4.5 ./fastboot erase cache
   4.6 ./fastboot reboot

The command at the 4.3 step erases all your data. You can try to flash your phone without this step and see if it works, and if you encounter errors flash again with all the steps. Good luck.

mmm.. i seem to be unable to get into fastboot mode.
pressing "down" long, or tapping it short whilst pressing power on button, makes no difference.. the alcatel logo is shown and then it continues to the firefox logo.
maybe that's my problem?

update: lessons learned
you can't fastboot when it's connected to the computer
when it boots up, you can't release the downbutton once the alcatel logo is shown, have to keep pressing it for 30 seconds.

i was able to upgrade per your instructions. 1.4 is running.
thank you so much!

I also faced the same issue:
"Push the SU binary package for root access
rm failed for /sdcard/fxosbuilds/update-alcatel-su.zip, Permission denied
mkdir failed for /sdcard/fxosbuilds, Permission denied
failed to copy 'root/root_alcatel-signed.zip' to '/sdcard/fxosbuilds/update-alcatel-su.zip': Permission denied"
Thanks to @lufte, I managed to update my device using alternative image. I've installed v1.3 and decided not to delete old user data. Tested it and it works good.
