I know this phone is fairly new and I was able to root it, but I'm wondering if there is any news on a cwm recovery being developed for it. Thanks for any info!
Is it a difficult task to make a CWM for a new phone?
i need help, i mixed up the system apk`s
can somebody help me out. i just need the app folder from root access. help me. i dont want to buy another device just for take a back up from it
can someone upload the apk`s or the folder. sorry for bad english. i hope somebody help me out! :crying:
I know you can build a cwm recovery image for this phone with mtk droid root & tools. The only catch is I think the boot loader is locked because if you try to dump or write with sp flash tool it talks about having a secure baseband and the need for a authentication file to be able to do anything with the flash with sp flash tool. Mtk droid root & tools does ask to prepare the device by writing to the boot.img I think, but it also states the recovery needs to be flashed with sp flash tool. I'm unsure if by writting to the boot.img file it unlocks the baseband or not but if it doesnt unlock the device you could end up with a brick.

A developer over at androidforums.com looked at it extensively and said it couldn't be done because the bootloader is locked. All we can do right now is root the phone.
No roms, but once root is acheived, you can install Xposed modules to get the feel of a custom rom. Gravitybox is awesome. I have:
* enabled the buttons to be illuminated when the screen is on (no more guessing where that blasted back key is)
* modified the statusbar
among a couple other minor changes. The only thing bothering me that I have been unsuccessful with as of yet is not being able to actually uninstall the factory bloatware even though root is acheived and TiBu runs fine. Other than that, this phone is damn good for what it is and what I need it for (my Nexus 7 is my workhorse and I just use this phone for **GASP**, phone stuff as well as an MP3/Podcast player thanks to it using microsd cards). It is sluggish and clunky, but it gets the job done and $50 for a brand new GSM phone off contract? Yes please. Not to mention that the Alcatel overlay is pretty unobtrusive when compared to Motoblur, Touchwiz or Sense.
(I only posted this long diatribe here because this thread is one of the top ones to show up when googling "root alcatel one touch evolve". Information for this phone is pretty scant but seems to be popular enough that some people will start looking for that info. If I need to delete this or make my own thread, I'll happily oblige).

I rooted my wife's Alcatel One Touch Evolve for this purpose, but TB cannot uninstall bloatware system apps. Did any one find a work around to this?

Were you able to make a backup of the phone before installing GravityBox?
To those wondering...The reason that TB can't remove the bloatware is it isn't in the /system/app folder.
Use some other app like Root Explorer or whatever you like and go to /system/custpack/app/unremoveable.
that's where they all are.

Sorry, I meant /custpack/app/unremoveable.
It's not under /system. I apologize. So /custpack/app/unremoveable

Thanks for clarifying!
You're welcome! Remove bloatware away!
personally i used ES File Explorer. Worked fine for me.
Obviously, be careful what you remove and such.
Can someone point me to the rooting instructions for this?
Typed on the Nexus
Mordy,
I used Cydia Impactor http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ and once it said "done" i installed SuperSU and rebooted my phone. That was it.
Edit:
So I've had this phone roughly 2 weeks now. Rooted it on day one. Removed a LOT of crap. Replaced some apps (IE Chrome, stock messaging app, etc)
I have to say this is a decent little phone. Not bad for $40.
removing bloatware
hey so i was wondering if there was any other way to remove the bloatware ? if not what do i do once im in this folder where the system apps are can i just do a delete the apk files ? and will that uninstall all the data for that app? thanks alot

Ok. Thanks
I think the V21q ota update renders current root methods useless. I unrooted 20f to get the volte ota update and it updated to v21q instead of whatever the volte one was (i think it was 20i maybe?). I didn't even know v21q was available haha.
Is there a way to get root back without having to go through the whole downgrade process, but if need be, i will. I've tried multiple root methods and none of them work (most look like they use the same process, just a different way the script is worded) The stock dpi value is almost unbearable. Why does everything have to be so hideously large? VoLTE isn't worth the stock dpi.
Edit: I found a way to edit DPI W/O root access. I would still like to have root on v21q though. Not really a big deal right now anymore, but still nice to have.

Thanks was totally lost until I found this post, So many non working methods for this version .
Iv started this thread to get talking about unlocking the bootloader and a proven flashing method for 6.0. @LGMONO and @ZVNexus are working on root for a 6.0 tot, if it its authenticated. But, we still need a method for unlocking the bootloader, aswell as a stable way to flash the tot so we can back up and gain root. So for these cases, anyone have a clue where we are at with them?
UPDATE: 3-27-17
So no way for root has been found yet, but its not over. Android 7.0 Nougat has been confirmed for the LGV10 and we are supposed to have it by the end of this month so realistically, I say sometime next month. Now hopefully they will ease up on the restrictions in 7.0. But i have found something interesting with 6.0 on the v10. I tried to install Stump.apk (a root-kit app) and android warned me that the app contains code that tried to alter android or something like that. Anyways, so my guess that a new way might be possible to gain root access. If you can force an app to change its code after being installed, that might work... If it can even work like that. They have over hauled the security on the v10, so atleast your stuff is relatively safe if you do your part.
For now, im gonna start talking to people to see if maybe lg or at&t would consider removing their block once a phone has gone out of warranty. Im on lease for mine so I can kinda understand why they dont want it modified, but if i pay it off or out right, i should have the right to do as i wish for it, so im gonna try to talk with them about that.
UPDATE:
After looking around, some people found success of downgrading to 5.0 or 5.1 with LGUP on the g4. Now it didnt say it was carrier specific, but, if its not, then im beginning to wonder where the problem of just flashing a tot really is on the v10.

We are pretty close. This is pretty weird though, when I open boot.img on the Marshmallow TOT, it refuses to open the archive, and fails. The boot.img on the 5.1.1 TOT does not have this problem however and opens just fine. This is strange and it is risky to flash not knowing if it might work. If only I had extra phones to test this lol

It might be as simple as just a broken boot.img. im not 100%, but i dont think there is any signitures of authenticity in the boot.img, so you might could use a different one. I have a copy of the 6.0 TOT. Later ill go try to unpack the boot.img and see what i can find.

We would have to use the boot.img from a 6.0 AT&T LG V10 Though, because of Anti-TOT Rollback. Changing the boot.img with one from 5.1..1 would screw that up I think.
I'll pay for mm root, please keep the effort alive. This is the best phone with a removable battery - so best phone I can own - and since I'm stuck with it... I'll pay to improve it, as we all should.

A petition has been started for universal unlocking on the v10.
As far as donations, talk to @LGMONO and @ZVNexus

This may be a dumb question but is it possible to use quadrooter to gain root access on 6.0 and then use the exploit to install super su?

Its not that the phone is dead, its just that the majority of the people who bought this phone did not buy it to root or anything. They bought it because of the camera. Anyone else would have bought a LG G4, G5, or a Samsung Note. All of those are VERY good options if you want to root.

I got it because of the removable battery and micro SD support... and yeah the camera too, but at the time it had root, so I wasn't really too worried about it. Guess I'm SOL now.

I mean, its not that bad. Right now without root you can still customize your phone to a extent. You can use a program to disable (NOT REMOVE) any programs you want, so all AT&T bloat doesn't show on my app drawer anymore, same with any LG apps. A nice wallpaper, Nova, a icon pack, and it looks pretty fine and dandy! Right now I have about 4 months left and then I can get a new phone. Not too bad. Was thinking about the new Nexus lineup.

Yeah I still have some time, but I'm going to just save to pay for the new "Nexus" out-right (I think you have to anyways). This is really too bad. I've never owned a phone that was so locked down that we can't unlock the bootloader, root or anything. It's maddening. I should have done better research; if I had, I would have found that the "root" we had for 5.1.1 was only temporary and there was no unlocked bootloader.
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
Finally LG has released a new software update (Build H90021w) for the AT&T LG V10 H900 phone.
Maybe root is nearby

Its possible. The kdz they released could give us a custom TOT. The we just have to figure out how to flash it.
Update
You can view the update in the original post.
I like this phone but need root. This phone on At&T seems dead for development after a year. Just bought an OnePlus 3t 128g with delivery today. That phone has development. ROOT! Goodbye V10.
Hello. Im new here and I have Motorola Photon Q with SIM mod and custom ROM Mokee (Android 6.0.1).
I want to know if I want to instal CM11/12 (or CM13) on my phone i need to get back to Stock ROM and than do all of the rom stuff?
Also i trying playing PoGO with Mygisk but when i turn off root it gets back on. Any solution?
And one more, is there a big chance to I change my phone to a ussles brick?
Thanks for help.
There's always the potential to brick a device, if you do something incorrect.
While the chances are less likely nowadays, the issue is still possible. If you are afraid of this potential, stop now.
Otherwise, you can flash any ROM you want - no need to go back to stock.
As for the root comment, no clue - I'm guessing you didn't truly disable root (perhaps you can't disable it in Mokee? Never used it myself. Never wanted to disable root either...).
Good luck.

I sucessly upgrade my phone to CM12, its nightly in fact but everything is ok for now. :good:
In Mokee I have a option to dislabe root in developer options but this didn't give anything, PoGO still won't start.
I was wondering about it and I think I shouldn't risk to brick my phone for one silly game.
Thank You very much for help
I realize this is way old so you probably figured out a way, but to play PoGo one easy way (that works for me) is to use TWRP to rename the 'su' binaries to something else. There are a couple of them and I don't recall exactly where they are but I found the info on this site. Of course then you won't have root automatically, but can still run your renamed su from a terminal if needed, or use twrp to rename them back to su. Every time you update builds su gets restored, so have to rename again for PoGo.
Hey guys, after stalking the forums for about a year or so, and about 10-15 phones later, I feel I am ready to contribute something useful, I also got a video I'm going to make about the process and upload it to youtube cause I feel it'll help people as well. Basically I morphed all the rooting topics and links into my summary. I hope it helps someone.
1.First, I started from scratch. (ODIN + OK7 Firmware)
2.Once it makes it setup screen, hold both volumes and power.
[email protected] Black menu, select Factory Reset, hit lower middle button, but right after the phone restarts itself have your fingers already on volume down, power, and lower middle button. Hit Power up to continue into Download mode. Once in download mode, go ahead and flash the sboot found around the way, I'm to lazy to link and stuff lol
4.Should see some green lettering now when booting, once your in and got debug set to on, go ahead and run the easy tool found here in the forums as well and have it flash the root kernel, once it reboots, you should now have an unlocked lock along with your green letters above.
5.Once it loads, Install SuperSU-ME PRO.
6.Root it with 4.9.5 Kingroot apk.
7.Open SuperSU-ME PRO.
Voila, pretty clean root, does go away at boot, but settings stay locked from rooted apps and I use System App Remover Pro so it works out pretty cleanly. Currently not able to have SuperSU-ME swapped out with just SuperSU. (Another user on the forum claimed he pulled it off, I on the other hand could not pull it off and settled for this.)
So in summary, you lose root on reboot, but is easily re-engaged upon boot by just running Kingroot and re-enabling the root. (Because kernel, settings etc. would already be in place.)
Lets see, in terms of mods, I'm just running L Speed, Kernel Auditor, 3C Battery Monitor Pro, Andromizer Pro, and Root Explorer installed, and my build.prop is fixed for the memory leak. Overall, coming from an s7 edge, than to a Verizon Note 5, this is a Slam dunk size wise. Phone is completely functional if I don't wanna run root, so its actually not that bothersome that it stays locked in. I am amazed at this all. I've always had phones with locked bootloaders, and finally (aside from the s7edge) was able to play A LITTLE. Will be getting something dope when I get my taxes, but if anyone needs any help or anything lemme know, I'd be more than glad to help. Sorry bout the wall of text. And P.S. if the guy, that claimed he got SuperSU going in place and flashfire, I'd love to be able to pull that off for flashing the oe2 roms.
Thanks in advance and Cheers. -Klip1
**Update, I indeed did get SuperSU to fly!!** -Wish there was some flashfire roms. :-X

Did you get it going? Green lettering top left, unlocked sign middle?
Actually I didn't have time for it, too much work.. :/
Maybe this weekend
Thanks for finding/testing/posting this!!! I can't get supersu-me pro to take over for kingroot, which isn't the end of the world but kingroot has to much bs imo. Have you tried using flashfire to install xposed or even try to install the .zip for supersu?
What was your steps to get regular supersu working? TIA
Edit: WiFi keeps loosing saved passwords anyone else experiencing this or have a fix/workaround?
EDIT: I have gotten wifi working after reboots and root surviving a hotboot. See my post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71410019&postcount=109
Is this a permanent root with write permissions or no?
