Alright guys,
This is for everyone that is not using windows or mac.
First of all - congrats! You made the right decision by not using them. Ha-ha!
Also - Thanks to everyone that was involved in getting us the so much needed S-OFF - Developers and Testers.
Now, to get S-Off you need to go to http://revolutionary.io/
Just in case - read everything that is in there, and remember that this is a Beta release, so sh*t can go wrong.
Click on "Download For Linux" . This will download revolutionary-0.3pre7.tgz
Now open Home folder, navigate to Downloads, find the file that you just downloaded, right click, and choose "extract here".
Or if you are using the console - you need to do this:
Navigate to the Downloads folder and
Code:
tar -zxf revolutionary-0.3-pre7.tgz
Now open your terminal, and navigate to the Downloads folder. You can do that by typing
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
Once you are in there - do the following:
Code:
sudo ./revolutionary
or if you are root, just do
Code:
./revolutionary
In general, its not a very good idea to stay logged in constantly as root, so yeah.
Once you downloaded the file - it redirected you to the Generator, where you need to put in your information about the phone.
Once you run revolutionary - you can find all the information needed in there, just put in the information, click on "generate", highlight the code, right click, copy, and then go to the console, right click, paste, and hit enter.
Once you get root and everything else, it will ask you if you want to install CWM. It is important to have that, so please choose "Y".
And now you can sit back and enjoy how this is magic
[EDIT]
If you have any problems with revolutionary finding the device - please make sure that you did add the appropriate udev rules to the file /etc/rules.d/51-android.rules
To make sure that your computer sees the phone - just type
Code:
adb devices
If you see it as "??????????????" - then you do need to follow the next guide to add the udev rules.
For more information on how to do that - please follow THIS GUIDE
For more information on how to use ADB under Ubuntu - please check out THIS GUIDE
Thanks, this worked like a charm! Thank to the devs that brought this to us! I've been eagerly awaiting this, almost took my bro's MT4G just to get my flashing fix!! All I need is an AOSP Rom and I'm golden, lol
I'm getting "waiting for device..."
Is there a certain point when I need to plug in my Sensation? I'm able to mount the phone with no issues in linux, but for some reason revolutionary won't identify it.
Wow, 2 minutes with no hiccups on a UK Vodafone branded Sensation. Just carrying out a quick nandroid. Thanks for the tut, much appreciated.
Thanks, will be using this to S-OFF my Sensation when I get home later today!
Ubuntu ftw

Did you add the add appropriate udev rules to the file /etc/rules.d/51-android.rules ?
Or with other words, when you are using adb under ubuntu - when you do adb devices - do you see your device with "?????????????" or do you see it like its really installed with numbers ?
If you havent added the udev rules - you can find more information on how to do it HERE

STEP 2. To INSTALL Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.4 from Revolutionary. Issue With not charging when Device is completely switched off - DOES CHARGE WHEN HIBERNATING (SWITCHING OFF on stock rom) WITH FASTBOOT ENABLED
YOU MUST READ ABOUT THE CHARGING ISSUE in post 3 below before installing!!!!!
1. Download clockworkmod recovery by Revolutionary for the Sensation HERE:
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
7. Turn the phone back on. click settings > Power > ensure fastboot is enabled (ticked). This will help you charge incase your battery dies. If you hibernate (or switch off on stock roms) with fastboot enabled your phone will still charge
IF YOUR BATTERY IS LOW, SWITCH OFF WITH FASTBOOT ENABLED TILL YOU CAN CHARGE IT (Press Hibernate (on stock Roms) or power off if you don't have hibernate)
IF YOUR PHONE BATTERY DIES WHILST YOU ARE USING IT. DO NOT POWER IT ON OR PULL THE BATTERY OUT.
Make sure you have had it on charge for at least a few minutes then turn it on as normal and continue charging
Currently with fastboot enabled when your phone dies it will hibernate. allowing you to still charge it. If you plug in your charger then switch on, it will boot back up in a few seconds as fastboot is active and it will resume from where you left off.
Turning off without fastboot means your phone will fully turn off not hibernate and your phone will not charge when turned off.
Step 3. To permanently root your Sensation - (This means you will NOT LOSE ROOT on rebooting) DOES NOT AFFECT WIFI
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here: DOWNLOAD
2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)
3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below)
4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"
6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
9. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
10. Then go back
11. Then reboot.
12. You're rooted!

Hey i have just made a video and for people who have problem understanding the steps i have uploaded the video and it will help you clearly understand the steps.
:fingers-crossed:
2nd METHOD
If the above Method didn't work for you because some people are experiencing problems with the above method for the latest firmware so you can try this method which shall work.
Things Required
1)A Rooted Galaxy Core
2)CWM.zip File(In Second Post)
3)Uni-init APK(In Second Post)
4)A Mind
Let's Begin
1) Download and install BusyBox.
- Open and install BusyBox.
- Done!

If u didn't exceed then you will need to Recover Your Stock Firmware. The only problem is your all data and apps would be deleted so i advise you to take a backup of your all apps by either Titanium Backup Or Through Apps Backup And Restore So that if even any thing goes wrong you will have backup of all your apps. I will make a video guide on how to recover STock Firmware.

Totally new guide! Simple step by step toutorial
It took us a while to get root on our devices. Hopefully we did it! Now we can enjoy benefits of having rooted device (like Xposed Modules etc). We have working TWRP recovery which allows us to backup your phone, flash SuperSU binaries, mods and custom ROMs (actually we are working on it). First: read whole post, then download necessary files and read it again. This guide will allow you to root your BLU Pure XL/Allview X2 Soul Xtreme/Gionee Elife E8/Condor Allure A100 and other clones I don't know.
If you don't know what is 'root' & TWRP nor understand the whole idea of rooting your phone this post (or even most of the XDA community) is not for you! Read everything carefully.

I don't know where are you wrong...!
Maybe you say something else? Maybe give me some logcat?
I would help you if I knew the problem. As for now for me you don't have any problem. Your post is useless in this form.
You have to learn how to tell the error/problem/bug before you post anything on any forum.
If you want me to help you solving this situation send me private message or edit your post and tell the problem in the right form*, please.
Cheers,
bemolx
*Right form looks like:
What's the problem?
Did you check whole thread before posting?
If possible give me logcat/shown error
Make sure you read main post carefully
What you will need to get it working:
ADB and Fastboot drivers
SuperSU flashable zip archive
TWRP Recovery image
PC & your phone
BUT!
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
Everything you're doing with your devices is on your own!
We're not responsible for any damage on your phone!
If you don't understand what's root it's good time to STOP!
Now we're starting!
Look carefully on files you need (I've mentioned them above) and scroll down for download links. Download every file we need.
Note:
At the bottom of this post you'll find two versions of TWRP: 3.1.0-x and 2.8.6.0. Let me explain the difference:
TWRP v3.1.0-x: this version has been compiled from scratch & made by me. It is the newest available recovery version at the moment and without bugs. More info in the thread linked below.
TWRP v2.8.6.0: this version has been ported from Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 & made by @acheron1502. It's not the newest but working one. It has some little bugs. More info in the thread linked below.
I suggest you to download v3.1.0-x because it will get further support by me. But it is your choice now.
Setting up our workstation
I hope you have already downloaded everything we need.
On your Desktop create a new folder (for example "root").
Find package with ADB drivers, open it and extract to the "root" folder.
Now find TWRP image and place it also in our "root" folder. This image should look like this:
Code:
twrp-3.1.0-0-x2xtreme.img
or
Code:
BLU_PURE_XL_TWRP.img
Let's rename it like this (see below) to make our rooting process easier
Code:
twrp.img
Now we're setting up your phone
Open 'Settings' application. Scroll down to 'About phone'. Click about seven times on 'Build number'. You should see: "You are now developer".
Now find 'Developer options', then 'Enable USB Debugging' and simply enable it.
Connect your phone to the PC. On PC: find SuperSU.zip and copy it on your phone.
OMG!!! Flashing!!!
Okay... That's the most important step.
Turn off your phone. Press 'power' & 'vol +' together. This key combo should boot up your phone into stock recovery mode.
Scroll down using 'vol -' to 'Reboot bootloader' and confirm pressing 'power'. This will boot your phone into Fastboot mode.
On PC: open "root" folder. Open Command Prompt here (LShift + right mouse click -> 'open cmd here')
In the Command Prompt type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
This command will flash TWRP recovery on you phone.
After flashing process is done reboot you phone into TWRP by pressing 'vol +' and 'power'. When you see bootlogo get your finger from the 'power' button. You will see TWRP logo. You can unplug USB cable now.
We're almost here!
Now you should see TWRP main page same like in the screenshots I've attached to this post.
We must flash SuperSU binaries to get rooted phone. To do this press 'Install' button.
You should see list of files/folders on your phone. Navigate to the SU.zip and choose it by clicking on it.
TWRP will ask you for permission to flash that zip package. To allow it to do so swipe to the right slider on the bottom of the screen. Now SuperSU is installing.
After installation process is done press 'Reboot system now' button. Your device will reboot into your system.
Done!!!
And there you go! Your device should be now rooted with TWRP recovery installed. Check if your phone is rooted correctly by installing ROOT Checker. To make rebooting process much easier and faster you can download Quick Reboot.
Xposed Modules
There's an option to install Xposed Modules as I mentioned at the top of this post. Not every module is working but you can try it and let us know what's working.
To get it working you need:
Xposed Installer Alpha App (allows you to download and manage modules)
Xposed SDK zip (the most important thing)
Original thread with those files is linked below.
Note:
It's important what version of SDK you are downloading. Our device has 64-bit ARM MediaTek chipset so it is arm64 and it's running lollipop 5.1 ROM which equals sdk22. By that meaning the SDK zip you should download looks pretty much the same like this:
Code:
xposed-v80-sdk22-arm64.zip
Installing
Place both files on your phone's storage and reboot to recovery. Press 'Install' and navigate to sdk.zip. Choose it, confirm installation - when it's done reboot into system. Now use any file browser and find XposedInstaller.apk and install it.
Now you can download any module you want. Further instructions in post linked below.
How to unroot
Most of you would like to flash stock OTA etc.
To do this you have to have stock recovery installed.
First open SuperSU app, then scroll down and look for 'Clear/unroot' option. Choose it and follow on-screen instructions.
Then download stock recovery image (downloads for Elife E8 and Allure A100 will be available when someone provide me a link). Place it the 'root' folder (or just in the same directory with fastboot drivers etc.). Rename downloaded file into recovery.img.
Method 1 - using Fastboot
Reboot phone into bootloader mode. Open terminal in the 'root' folder and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now reboot into system by pressing power button for a while.
Method 2 - using TWRP
Copy downloaded recovery onto your phone's storage. Reboot phone into recovery mode. Press 'Install', then change from installing zips to installing imgs (bottom right button). Navigate to downloaded recovery file and choose it. Confirm installation. After that reboot into system.
You should be now unrooted and able to flash OTA.
Downloads:
ADB & Fastboot drivers: link
TWRP Recovery: TWRP v3.1.0-0 (recomended) or TWRP v2.8.6.0 (unofficial)
SuperSU binaries by @Chainfire: link
Stock recovery: Pure XL & X2 Xtreme (extract .zip before renaming/installing)
TWRP Materialised - Dark / Light / Play
Xposed Modules
Special thanks go to the awesome team!

Thank you guys. Without you it wouldn't be possible!

Hey @bemolx ,
Since your thread is more of a HOW TO root, would it be OK if you move this into GENERAL and field all the rooting process questions there?
I will start a new Dev Thread for TWRP and all TWRP related development issues.
You can then use that new thread for all your download links.
EDIT:
Please use this link for TWRP in your guide.
bemolx said:
My friends and me figured out how to get root on our phones. By the way @acheron1502 made TWRP recovery which allows us flash Super SU 2.46 (Stable). Also you can flash Xposed Modules as you want.
HOW TO INSTALL:
Connect phone to your PC
Make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers installed
Download TWRP from this post
Download Super SU
Copy SU.zip to your phone's storage
Reboot phone into fastboot/bootloader mode
Flash recovery using: fastboot flash "downloadedrecoveryfilename"
Reboot to TWRP by pressing and holding Vol+ & power buttons (still in fastboot mode!)
In TWRP flash SU.zip, then reboot
What doesn't work:
- no adb in recovery
- you tell us
And there you go! Your device should be now rooted with TWRP recovery installed. Check if your phone is rooted correctly by installing ROOT Checker.
BUT!
Everything you're doing with your devices is on your own! We're not responsible for any damage on your phone!

Hey @bemolx ,
Since your thread is more of a HOW TO root, would it be OK if you move this into GENERAL and field all the rooting process questions there?
I will start a new Dev Thread for TWRP and all TWRP related development issues.
You can then use that new thread for all your download links.

Just take a look at Google's development page - there are drivers needed to get it working. Nothing else

My friends and me figured out how to get root on our phones. By the way @acheron1502 made TWRP recovery which allows us flash Super SU 2.46 (Stable). Also you can flash Xposed Modules as you want.
HOW TO INSTALL:
Connect phone to your PC
Make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers installed
Download TWRP from this post
Download Super SU
Copy SU.zip to your phone's storage
Reboot phone into fastboot/bootloader mode
Flash recovery using: fastboot flash "downloadedrecoveryfilename"
Reboot to TWRP by pressing and holding Vol+ & power buttons (still in fastboot mode!)
In TWRP flash SU.zip, then reboot
What doesn't work:
- no adb in recovery
- you tell us
And there you go! Your device should be now rooted with TWRP recovery installed. Check if your phone is rooted correctly by installing ROOT Checker.
BUT!
Everything you're doing with your devices is on your own! We're not responsible for any damage on your phone!
Special thanks go to the awesome team!

It *might* work based on specs I saw on u1labs.com ...
Can you post the values in your /proc/partinfo so I can compare with ours?

The specs haven't been updated yet, but the phone should be released soon along with the kernel source.

Let's keep the development thread about this phone (Blu Pure XL) and other phones with the exact same base maker/model (ie. Gionee E8, Allview x2 Extreme). If you are asking about gaining root for a different phone and need some Mind-share from this group of people due to the other phone having a similar SOC, the best way is to open a new thread in the Q&A Section or the General Section, but I think you should wait until the phone is released first IMHO.

Guys,
1) THANKS for GREAT work!
2) Please provide more CLEAR / ACCURATE details on how to do this, because NOOBs (including myself) get very confused.
a) Link to adb / fastboot drives. Saying "they are in Google development section means nothing"
b) How do I "Reboot phone into fastboot/bootloader mode"??
This would help so many people root without bricking the phone.
Thank you once again!

I'm having issues with fastboot. It says it's blocked for security. Is there something required that isn't normally on android phones to get the fastboot method to actually allow me to enter fastboot? At the beginning was just going to recov ery and putting reboot into fastboot.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR LG V20 H918 UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER, DOWNGRADING, ROOTING AND INSTALLING CUSTOM ROMS (NOOB FRIENDLY)
DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT THE DEVELOPER OF ANY OF THE BELOW SOFTWARE'S AND YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR OWN RISK AS THIS INVOLVES BRICKING OR DAMAGING YOUR MOBILE IF THE PROCEDURE IS NOT FOLLOWED CORRECTLY. I'M JUST SHARING THE WHOLE PROCESS WHICH I HAVE FOLLOWED TO ROOT AND INSTALL TWRP IN MY LGV20 H918 UNLOCKED T MOBILE.
AND I HAVE TESTED THIS IN MY OWN DEVICE AND WAS ABLE TO ROOT AND ACHIEVE TWRP.
THIS IS ONLY FOR LGV20 H918 VERSION
ENSURE INTERNET IS UP AND RUNNING IN YOUR PC
EDIT: THE WHOLE PROCESS HAS NOW BEEN AUTOMATED IN TWO SIMPLE STEPS TO PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE. THANKS TO THE LAFSPLOIT CREATOR BRIAN @runningnak3d.
JUST FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE BELOW AND YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR DEVICE ROOTED IN NO TIME
1. BACKUP ALL YOUR IMPORTANT DATA BEFORE PROCEEDING.
2.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHARGED YOUR PHONE TO AT LEAST 90 PERCENT
CHECK YOUR PHONE SOFTWARE VERSION IN SETTINGS---ABOUT PHONE----SOFTWARE INFO
IF IT IS ANYTHING BETWEEN H91810P TO H91810U MEANS IT IS ARB1 (ANTI ROLL BACK 1) AND YOU NEED TO USE LAFSPLOIT METHOD TO ROOT AND INSTALL TWRP,
IF YOUR VERSION IS H91810O OR BELOW (ARB0), YOU CAN EITHER USE DIRTYCOW OR LAFSPLOIT METHOD FOR THE SAME.
IF YOU ARE ON ARB1, PLEASE FOLLOW THE METHOD BELOW,
PART 1: DOWNGRADING
IF YOUR VERSION IS H91810 (Q, R, S, T, U) YOU NEED TO DOWNGRADE TO A LOWER VERSION ( H91810P) TO EXECUTE LAFSPLOIT.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON H91810P, YOU STILL NEED TO RE FLASH THE H91810P KDZ AGAIN FOR THE LAFSPLOIT SCRIPT TO WORK CORRECTLY.
DOWNLOAD H91810P KDZ FILE FROM BELOW
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282709
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ALL THE FILES BELOW IN YOUR PC
UPPERCUT AND LGUP----
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/
LG DRIVERS---
http://tool.cdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
CONNECT YOUR MOBILE TO YOUR PC IN DOWNLOAD MODE (SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE AND CONNECT THE USB FROM PC WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON SIMULTANEOUSLY)
RUN UPPERCUT.EXE WHICH WOULD OPEN LG'S UPDATER TOOL AUTOMATICALLY.
INSIDE THE LG UPDATER TOOL, CLICK ON BIN AND SELECT THE H91810P KDZ FILE DOWNLOADED EARLIER.
NOW SELECT UPGRADE AND FLASH
ENSURE THE USB CABLE IS CONNECTED THROUGH THE FLASHING PROCESS AND WAIT FOR YOUR PHONE TO REBOOT AND THEN REMOVE THE USB CABLE.
CHECK THE SOFTWARE VERSION AND ENSURE IT IS H91810P
PART 2: UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
HEAD TO SETTINGS---ABOUT PHONE----SOFTWARE INFO (ENSURE IT IS H91810P)
ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTION IN YOUR PHONE BY CLICKING ON THE BUILD NUMBER MULTIPLE TIMES
NOW HEAD TO SETTINGS---DEVELOPER OPTIONS
TURN ON OEM UNLOCKING, ENABLE USB DEBUGGING AND DISABLE 'VERIFY APPS OVER USB'
NOW CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC AND OPEN ADB COMMAND CENTER PROMPT IN YOUR PC
adb devices---->CHECK IF YOUR MOBILE IS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZED IN ADB
adb reboot bootloader--->THIS REBOOTS YOUR DEVICE IN FASTBOOT MODE
fastboot devices---->CHECK IF YOUR MOBILE IS CORRECTLY RECOGNIZED IN FASTBOOT
fastboot oem unlock---->THIS COMMAND WOULD UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AND RESET's YOUR DEVICE.
fastboot oem device-info OR fastboot getvar unlocked ----->THIS WOULD CONFIRM IF YOUR BOOTLOADER HAS BEEN UNLOCKED OR NOT.
fastboot reboot-----> THIS WOULD REBOOT YOUR DEVICE
IF THE BOOTLOADER HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCKED, THE DEVICE WILL SHOW AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER WARNING MESSAGE WHILE BOOTING (THIS CAN BE IGNORED OF COURSE)
PART 3: CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX USB USING FWUL
DOWNLOAD FWUL_v2.7_x86_64_15GB.zip FROM THE LINK BELOW AND EXTRACT THE IMAGE FILE SOMEWHERE IN YOUR PC.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=214529
DOWNLOAD RUFUS FROM BELOW AND INSTALL
https://rufus.akeo.ie/
INSERT A PEN DRIVE IN YOUR PC AND RUN RUFUS.
INSIDE RUFUS SELECT THE IMAGE FILE AND SELECT START (AFTER SELECTING START SELECT DD MODE IN THE DIALOGUE BOX) TO CREATE A BOOTABLE PEN DRIVE (WARNING: THIS WOULD FORMAT YOUR PEN DRIVE)
NOW YOU SHOULD BOOT YOUR PC FROM THE BOOTABLE USB STICK WHICH YOU HAVE JUST CREATED
THIS WOULD MAKE YOUR PC RUN LINUX OS
TYPE PASSWORD AS linux AND ENTER
PART 4: INSTALLING TWRP AND ROOTING USING LAFSPLOIT
BEFORE PROCEEDING ENSURE YOU BOOT YOUR PHONE AND DONE ALL THE BASIC SETTINGS
NOW HEAD TO THE DEVELOPER OPTIONS IN YOUR DEVICE AND ENSURE OEM UNLOCKING AND USB DEBUGGING ARE SWITCHED ON.
NOW CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO THE PC (RUNNING LINUX OS FROM PENDRIVE) IN DOWNLOAD MODE (SWITCH OFF YOUR MOBILE AND CONNECT THE USB FROM PC WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON SIMULTANEOUSLY)
DOUBLE CLICK ON THE LG FOLDER INSIDE FWUL DESKTOP
INSIDE THAT, DOUBLE CLICK ON LGLAF(RUNNINGNAK3D) ICON WHICH WILL OPEN A TERMINAL
ENTER THE BELOW COMMANDS
git pull
git checkout h918-miscwrte
./step1.sh
THE ABOVE COMMAND FLASHES TWRP RECOVERY ONTO YOUR DEVICE.
WAIT AND PULL OUT YOUR DEVICE WHEN IT ASKS TO.
RECOMMENDED: NOW THAT TWRP HAS SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED, YOU CAN MANUALLY FORMAT,FLASH LATEST TWRP RECOVERY AND USE ANY METHOD LIKE MAGISK OR SU FOR ROOTING.
INSIDE TWRP RECOVERY. FIRST FORMAT USING WIPE--ADVANCED FORMAT--TYPE yes AND FULL DO A FULL FORMAT, THEN FLASH MAGISK AND THE LATEST TWRP RECOVERY BELOW.
MAGISK ZIP DOWNLOAD:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v16.0/Magisk-v16.0.zip
LATEST TWRP BY PHOENIX(H918):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239
OR
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT FORMATTING AND FLASHING, JUST USE THE BELOW COMMAND TO DO ALL THE WORK AUTOMATICALLY
CONNECT YOUR DEVICE AGAIN IN DOWNLOAD MODE AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING COMMAND
./step2.sh
THE ABOVE COMMAND FORMATS YOUR DEVICE AND FLASHES MAGISK TO ACQUIRE ROOT.
TIP : IF YOU FACE ANY ENCRYPTION ERROR AFTER USING STEP2. SH, DO A ADVANCED FORMAT WITHIN TWRP AND FLASH MAGISK AND LATEST TWRP BY PHOENIX MANUALLY.
YOU ARE NOW ROOTED WITH TWRP RECOVERY INSTALLED.
REMEMBER TO BACK UP THE CURRENT ROM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING..... DO CHECK POST #2 FOR OTHER TWEAKS
IF YOU WISH TO UPDATE TO LATEST STOCK (10U) AND KEEP ROOT AND TWRP, JUST FOLLOW THIS LINK AND DO REMEMBER TO ROOT USING MAGISK AFTER FLASHING THE ROM BEFORE YOU BOOT.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE DEVOLEPERS WHO HAVE CREATED THE ABOVE SOFTWARES WITHOUT WHICH THIS ISNT POSSIBLE.
CREDITS:
@autoprime FOR HIS UPPERCUT TOOL
@steadfasterX FOR HIS FWUL TOOL
@Phoenix591 FOR HIS WORKS ON TWRP RECOVERY
AND FINALLY, @runningnak3d FOR HIS EXCELLENT WORK IN ROOTING OUR DEVICE :good:
WHAT NEXT?
NOW THAT YOU HAVE ROOTED YOUR MOBILE, I WOULD RECOMMEND DOING THE BELOW TWEAKS FOR FURTHER ENHANCED EXPERIENCE....
1.THERMAL THROTTLING
IF YOUR ARE STILL ON A STOCK BASED ROM , I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO RECONFIGURE YOUR THERMAL FILE TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE LAG WHEN USING EXTENSIVELY...
FIRST DOWNLOAD THE FILE BELOW:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0W3xXHgfOxvLUpKNWhrWDE0TDg/view
USE A ROOT EXPLORER (PREFERABLY ES EXPLORER) AND GO TO ROOT/SYSTEM/ETC.
YOU SHOULD HAVE A FILE NAMED thermal-engine-8996.conf
RENAME IT TO thermal-engine-8996.conf.bak (JUST FOR A BACKUP IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG)
ENSURE THE ABOVE DOWNLOADED FILE IS IN .conf FORMAT
IF IT ISN'T , RENAME TO thermal-engine-8996.conf
NOW SAVE THE FILE TO THE SAME DIRECTORY VIZ ROOT/SYSTEM/ETC
GIVE PERMISSION TO THIS FILE TO rw-r--r-- USING THE ROOT EXPLORER ( SELECT FILE--->PERMISSION--->READ WRITE, READ, READ)
FINALLY SAVE AND REBOOT.
THIS WOULD OVERWRITE THE THERMAL LINKED PERFORMANCE OF THE CPU TO AVOID ANY LAG WHEN USING EXTENSIVELY.
2. RCTD REMOVER
ALSO I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO REMOVE THE LG'S RCTD CCMD AND TRITON MONITORS AS THESE WOULD RUN CONTINUOUSLY IN A ROOTED LG PHONE AND CONSUME LOT OF RESOURCES...
JUST INSTALL THE RCTD REMOVER APP FROM BELOW LINK:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.zacharee1.rctdremoverforlg
GRANT SU PERMISSION AND CHECK THE DESIRED FILES (I CHOSE ALL THREE FILES) AND CLICK ON PATCH, FLASH IMAGE AND REBOOT (THIS WOULD PATCH THE BOOT FILE, SO AGAIN IT IS ADVISABLE TO CREATE A BACKUP OF THE CURRENT BOOT IMAGE USING TWRP OR WITHIN THIS APP ITSELF)
3. SCREEN CALIBRATION:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
INSTALL KERNAL AUDITOR APP FROM PLAY STORE AND GRANT SU ACCESS
CHANGE THE BELOW VALUES WITHIN THIS APP (SCREEN SETTINGS)
Minimum RGB value = 35
Saturation Intensity = 27
Screen Hue = 1520
Screen Value = 112
Screen Contrast = 132
THIS WOULD SOMEWHAT REDUCE THE BLUE TINGE AND GHOST APPEARANCES OF THE SCREEN

I was just about to create a post asking for a step by step for dummies so thank you very much for this! Going to do this sometime tomorrow or Tuesday and will update if I succeed or not. :good:
Got a question. Does this method stop the second screen from working?

this would end up with a stock rooted phone with twrp recovery if all the methods are correctly followed..
......final result would be.... you would end up with a rooted stock rom with a twrp recovery....
your second screen will work perfectly.....
please let me know if you need a different thread for installing custom rom, and to reduce the lag., install sound mod to get maximum sound output and customize second screen... i will create a noob friendly thread for these as well......

Thank you, I've been reading up on the main lafsploit thread for awhile but I was still not sure about the whole flashing KDZ file and stuff so when you posted this thread it was a motivator to try it out. Got a day off from work tomorrow so gonna try it then so I don't got to worry about the time.
I'm interested in the max sound output and second screen customization if you got the time and its not to much to ask. If you want to wait till either someone else comes along thats interested or till I root just so you don't waste your time I shall update hopefully sometime tomorrow. Thanks again.

Abr1 yes I am rooted with twrp.
As I said, the commands to push magisk and twrp to sd did not work. I used usb otg in twrp to push magisk, but forgot to put twrp to flash as well.
I forgot that twrp had replaced download mode, so I was going a bit nuts trying to figure out how to get twrp to recovery. Lolol
Now I'm on latest update with rtcd removed thanks to the op who hosted it on xda as a flashable zip.
Hi guys, sadly I'm at the last step and got stuck.
I did everything, and managed to get to the part where you WIPE de data using TWRP, Mount, but when I go and type
adb push Magisk...
adb push h18...
I get an error saying that Cannot stat : No such file or directory
I'm unable to figure out what I'm doing wrong
Any idea?

Download magisk and twrp here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569963731
While you are in the last step, in mount, select otg USB. You can push it to SD card and manual flash.
If you booted to system without magisk and flashing twrp, power off the phone, hold volume up, put in the USB, connect to PC. This will put you in twrp since download mode is replaced by twrp.
Now you can flash both files.

Ok so I am here today to give you a TWRP recovery and A Liniage OS 16 Rom ported from a GSI.
And a quick how to on setting it all up..
DISCLAIMER:
I Am In No WAY responsible for ANYTHING YOU choose to do to your phone.
If you use this and your Dog eats your Cat, Your phone catches fire and burns down your house, or you loose all your game-saves pictures and other files it's NOT MY FAULT.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA AND FORMAT YOUR PHONE!!!
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
MY FASTBOOT DOESN"T WORK !
See-This:
Just grab this package I made for @Sloogle_Flugelmann
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CiGKCPGBJAPvl8R3_24kvdvrQB5V3abI
So requirements are :
#1: Willingness to format your phone and loose all apps and data.{MAKE A BACK-UP}
#2: ADB and Fastboot working on your PC.
#3: The Files I Will Link to or attach .
# Some Time to work on it, and half a Brain
There will be Two methods to accomplish basically the same thing,
Method 1 gives you the long way and it leaves you with the bare basic LOS 16 installed no root no gapps...
on the other hand Method 2 will leave you with LOS 16 and My favorite version of the pixil launcher and stock Gapps included and basically everything working.
METHOD 1-THE LONG ROAD:
STEP 1:
download the package that I will upload for everyone...
STEP 2:
Unlock your bootloader.... there may be multiple ways to do so but for me I enabled usb debugging and OEM unlocking in developers options {if you don't know how to do that you should run far away now !} then I gave the command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and this takes you to fastboot mode...
once there issue the following command to unlock your bootloader AND factory-reset the phone
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
then
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now your bootloader is unlocked and your device has been wiped in the process...
so let it boot up then go through the setup wizard and I just skip through everything as we will be wiping it once again in a minute... and just need to get to developer options and re-enable adb...
so do that...
STEP 3: Now that your bootloader is unlocked comes the fun stuff...
Firstly you need an SD-card with at least 4-6 GB free space and before continuing we want to move our LOS-16 System.img to our sd-card so we can install it from TWRP so once that's on the root of Sd-card's storage continue with this guide....
we need to disable DM-Varity to use twrp so we flash a magisk-patched-boot.img
so move the files Patched_boot.img AND twrp_alcatel_5059r_v3-2-3.img to a folder on desktop and open a command prompt /terminal/powershell-window at the file's location.. then issue this command to the phone .
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and once again we are in fastboot mode.
now we want to use fastboot to replace the stock boot image and stock recovery with our patched boot image and twrp recovery image..
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp_alcatel_5059r_v3-2-3.img
after this we want to reboot to recovery using the hardware keys. because if we don't the stock system will erase our twrp and replace it with stock recovery on boot.
so we do
Code:
fastboot reboot
and soon as you press enter on your keyboard grab the phone and continually hold down the volume-up key and hold the power key .
once you see the alcatel logo and message about unlocked bootloader, you quickly release ONLY the power key for a second then repress and hold it for a count of 5 seconds. then release the power key again and quickly repress it for another 5 seconds and keep doing that for a moment until the screen flashes white then displays the TWRP splash screen.
once we are in twrp it'll ask for the encryption password...
WE DONT HAVE ONE , So just hit Cancel
then it'll ask about system modifications and whatnot,
just swipe to allow modifications.
now we want to head to Wipe > Advanced-Wipe > Format Data
you'll have to type in
Code:
yes
and let it do it's thing.
once done with that we need to reboot to recovery so click the back arrow several times until you are back at twrp's min screen.
head over to Reboot>Recovery
the phone should reboot right back to twrp, you shouldn't see the encryption password screen this time as we formatted DATA.
so now swipe to allow modifications and head back to
Wipe>Advanced-Wipe and check the boxes for system,dalvik-cache,cache,data....
then swipe to wipe them.
then you want to hit the back arrow again till at the main twrp screen again.
Head to Install click on select storage, choose your Sd-card
Click on install zip to change it to install image.
select the LOS image we moved to the Sd-card prieviously,
click on System as the install location.
and finally swipe to flash it.
let it do it's thing.
once completed you will want to click the back arrow again until main twrp screen and reboot to recovery once more....
now once in recovery again you swipe to allow modifications and need to replace the GSI's build.prop file with the one I am including in the zip.
I used adb to accomplish this...
on your PC move the included build.prop file to your working directory{folder your working out of}
and use the terminal/command prompt/powershell to give the following commands
Code:
adb devices
you should see the device identified by serial number and the word recovery next to it
then
Code:
adb shell
you should have a root shell on the device,
Code:
rm -rf /system/build.prop
then
Code:
exit
now your back to pc terminal so type:
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
Code:
adb shell
back to root shell
Code:
chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
and then
Code:
reboot now
at this point your phone should reboot and everything was done correctly it'll go past the alcatel logo and bootlock message and then display the LOS 16 boot animation then it'll show a funny looking screen that has an android guy and the message " Please wait while your device is being encrypted"
it'll have a progress counter and when the count-down reacheds zero it'll just hang there....
that's ok, hold the power key until the phone reboots and you should get the los bootanimation followed by the LOS setup wizard start screen.
and you go through the set-up wizard and you'll be in LOS 16 PIE
Now if you want google apps to work there's a few more steps and they will be the same for both method 1 and method 2
if you flash gapps after rebooting from that you'll get a million messages about google play services and google apps crashing ... it's ok
you need to enable usb debugging in the LOS 16 and then sideload the apk ( Device+ID.apk )
Code:
adb sideload "Device+ID.apk"
once installed
open it to get the GSF registration number for your device.
then if you open the play store you'll be greeted by the google DEVICE UNCERTIFIED page...
Don't fret , this is why we fixed the build.prop to reflect our devices orig. build fingerprint...
So scroll down to the bottom of that page and see the last option about Custom Roms
there is a link there... long press that link and choose open in browser
you'll be greeted by the registration page for google...
make sure you are signed into google through your browser...( <---VERY IMPORTANT ) by opening another page to google gmail or the like and signing in with your google account.
then go back to the registration page and hit refresh ...
now it should recognize you by your gmail account in the top right corner i think.
anyhow... go to that ( Device+ID.apk ) that we sideloaded and click on the second set of numbers down the list it should mention (GSF) and choose copy . it'll copy the numbers to your clipboard.
now go back to the browser page from google about registration and paste the copied number into the place next to the (Register) button and then click the register button
it should then list your id converted to decimal on the page...
I did this several times from my PC and got no where but after doing it from the phone it's self a couple minutes later i clicked on one of the error messages about google play services and wholy-krap it finnally let me open google-play-store.
at this point your ready to go....

Now for Method 2
method two involves all the same steps as method 1 up until you get to TWRP... except that instead of moving the LOS16 system.img to your Sdcard before begining you'll want to extract the alcatel-idelXTRA-5059r-LOS16-modded-2019-05-23.zip I've included and move that whole folder to the sdcard...then
go back and read method 1 and once you are booted into twrp for the first time STOP and come back here to Method 2
Now once you get to twrp the first time the first thing to do is click cancel on the encryption screen then swipe to allow modifications on the next screen. then once at the main twrp screen we need to make a back-up that we will likely never use...
so go to Backup>choose storage (micro sd-card) and then make a back-up, Name the back-up My-Backup so that you can easily find it later. to save space and time I'd recommend backing up just the boot partition.
that'll complete quickly...
now for the weird work-around/Dirty-Hack stuff
you should have the contents of alcatel-idelXTRA-5059r-LOS16-modded-2019-05-23.zip a folder called (alcatel-idelXTRA-5059r-LOS16-modded-2019-05-23) on the root of your sd-card's storage...
and we just made our first back-up from twrp of our boot partition.
so from the main twrp screen we go to Advanced>File-manageer>external_sd we should find a folder labeled(TWRP)
inside that should be a folder labled (BACKUPS) and inside that should be yet one more folder with your device's serial or android ID as the label mine is (49NJ6TORP****VRG) your's may read differently. and finally inside That folder you should find the back-up you previously made (My-Backup) if you followed my instructions.
now we need to go back to the root of our sd-card's storage by clicking (up a level) several times and then click on the folder i had you move there earlier (alcatel-idelXTRA-5059r-LOS16-modded-2019-05-23) and once you click it you'll see files inside look down to the right hand corner in twrp
you should see a little blue folder button with a check-mark , Click that button
then it'll show you options....
click (Move) button then click (up a level) it'll look like it took you all the way back to the beginning top level of file manager, now we navigate to where we want the folder Moved to, so click external_sd > TWRP>BACKUPS>49NJ6TORP****VRG"or what-ever it named your device" > and when you see your (My-Backup) folder STOP... now click the folder button bottom right again, and you're presented with a screen saying moving blah blah blah : to : blah blah blah...
just swipe to move it there.
once you've done that click the back arrow to leave file manager and back out to the main twrp screen again...
Now click Restore>select storage> Micro Sdcard >ok and you should see two things to choose from...
(My-Backup) " the one you created earlier "
and
(alcatel-idelXTRA-5059r-LOS16-modded-2019-05-23)
obviously choose the second one (alcatel-idelXTRA-5059r-LOS16-modded-2019-05-23)
it'll ask you which partitons to restore
make sure ALL of the available boxes are checked should be boot, recovery, cache, and system
then swipe to restore...
after that's done we want to make sure we don't have any issues so back out to the main twrp screen
go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe and choose Dalvik/art Cache and also Cache and Data
swipe to wipe.
then back out once more and goto Wipe>Format Data and type yes and click the blue check mark on the keyboard to continue
after formating data
back out to main twrp screen and go to Reboot>System and if prompted choose NOT to install TWRP app
it wont work for you any way.
it should now reboot and do the please wait while encrypting your device thing again ...
after it counts down to zero it'll hang so just hold down the power button until it reboots and you'll get los boot animation followed by Los setup wizard.
go ahead and setup your device once completed the setup wizard you'll want to follow the part at the end of Method 1 above to get google apps and playstore working.....
then you're Done.
enjoy
NOTE with method two you'll also have a modified /system/etc/hosts file so you'll basically have ad malware and porn protection too. if you don't want that you can replace the content of your hosts file with
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
from twrp etc.

EDIT Somehow forgot to add the magisk patched boot.img to the file
will upload separately later
EDIT: 2
here's the zip with patched_boot.img
UNZIP IT

Edit 3:
Alternate "Better" recovery. !
there are two other recovery ports and I'd recommend either of them over this TWRP.
That being said, if you use method 2 to restore my back-up above...
Please do so with the twrp linked here as thats what made the back-up.
Here's The link to other better recoverys...
keep digging for it
almost there..

EDIT 4:
Making Magisk Just WORK Dammit!
So here is something Nice, We now can have Magisk root on any Pie GSI's by flashing this zip-file .
NOTE TO THREAD HOPPERZ:
THIS IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THIS DEVICE.
IT WILL LIKELY WORK ALSO ON THE ALCATEL TETRA SINCE THE FILES AND PATH ARE THE SAME
DO NOT FLASH THIS TO ANYTHING ELSE!!!
Credit for this go's to a guy who figured out the lib file was missing in most gsi images,
My-self for putting it all together in a flashable zip.
and to @TheExploitedOne for his help fixing error 6 on my updater script and blindly flashing it first

@Sloogle_Flugelmann and @riskybusiness
for the thread located:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/alcatel-idealxtra-5059r-root-t3885536
Which got me thinking....
also
@Andy Yan for building the GSI that I used to port this
@phhusson for all the work on treble and GSI'S that made this possible
@topjohnwu for magisk
and Alcatel / TCL for making it easy this time.
Ok so I found a way to disable forced encryption.
allowing TWRP to use our /Data partition again Yeay!!!
So here's how to do it...
Download the attached file from this post....
put it on your desktop or what ever folder your working out of...
Extract IT and find fstab.mt6739
open your terminal/CMD window and then boot to TWRP.
once in TWRP go ahead and go to Mounts>vendor
and make sure /vendor partition is mounted...
then go back to the pc and type...
Code:
adb shell rm -rf /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6739
Code:
adb push fstab.mt6739 /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6739
Code:
adb shell chmod 0644 /vendor/etc/fstab.mt6739
now go back over to fone, and in twrp back out to main screen and then go to wipe>format Data >type yes
let it do that....
once finished go ahead and reboot to android system
It'll boot up and takes a few minutes to go through the whole set-up wizard again.
but this time you will NOT see the darn little Encrypting the Krap out of android screen...
PROFIT !!!!!
Method 2:
NO PC NEEDED
Download attached file , EXTRACT IT , move fstab.mt6739 to your external sd card....
reboot to twrp,
in twrp at main screen go to
Mount>vendor and make sure /vendor is mounted, and mount> Micro SD Card make sure you have sdcard mounted...
then hit back arrow.
from main screen go to Advanced > File Manager > vendor > etc > fstab.mt6739
click the file and then click Delete
now scroll back to top (Up A Level) > (Up A Level) > external_sd
now look for the file you downloaded with the name fstab.mt6739
click on it then click Move
then once again vendor > etc
now click the little blue folder icon bottom right corner
It'll say,
Moving
Blahblahblah
to
Blahblahblah
just swipe to confirm
after that hit Back
now to fix the permissions
(up a level) > vendor > etc > click on fstab.mt6739
click on chmod
it'll show
Permissions
0000
go ahead and delete the zeros and then type 0644
then hit the checkmark to complete action (bottom right corner)
once done just hit back back back...
till main twrp screen
now to format data to remove the encryption...
back out to main screen and then go to wipe>format Data >type yes
let it do that....
once finished go ahead and reboot to android system
It'll boot up and takes a few minutes to go through the whole set-up wizard again.
but this time you will NOT see the darn little Encrypting the Krap out of android screen...
PROFIT !!!!!
If this helped you, please consider the thanks button....
If this saved your day maybe you'd like to buy me a cup of coffee?
ENJOY
Network unlock package available now
Ok so I have found a way to network unlock the fone but developing it has cost me nearly $80
I am considering sharing a restore package that you can use to restore a back-up from twrp to get your fone Unlocked for any GSM carrier...
But as I have seen NO ONE post in this thread yet, I'll save it...
I may even make it a gift for anyone who donates anything more than $3 to me for my time effort and expenses in developing all this stuff.
if anyone's interested either hit thanks and post about your interest here...
or shoot me a private message...
Got it fully rooted
I got the los 16 pie gsi rooted through a long combination of dirty hacks that in the end allows the official los 16 addonsu to work correctly.
Don't know if ill ever get around to sharing exact details but I will upload a rooted los 16 rom here very soon
will work on that getting that rooted system.img uploaded sometime this week hopefully
Alcatel Da And Auth Files
I scoured the net and finally took apart another program to get these but here's the AUTH & DA files for this device....
also going to add an archive containing all ALCATEL DA and AUTH files I have now....
of course it seems I'm the only one interested in this device...
so probably no one will ever think to look here for them...
but if you do , And if this helps in any way....
Don't forget to click thanks button
Come a long way on this device...
Too bad no one else seems interested ?
Fastboot mode is disabled on mine. adb reboot bootloader just restarts mine.
I have a fix for you

I'll load up a lk.bin that you can flash using root and DD.
I'll include a ReadMe with exact instructions.
For temp root to flash the lk.bin you're gonna want to use mtk-su
I'll include everything needed in a zip and load it up here.
May take me a little bit since I'm hanging with the family for 4th.
Happy 4th of July

Thanks for bringing that to my attention,
I been so busy developing for the tetra lately because no one seemed interested here.
If you go back and re-read OP,
I've added a fastboot fix zip with everything needed and instructions
the zip is for a windows user ,
for linux just replace the ./adb.exe with adb
in the commands issued to pc
Let me know if you need help.

Awesome! Thank you. Yeah I just got this phone as a secondary/backup phone and assumed nobody would even be interested in doing anything with this phone. Was kinda surprised to see any progress.
Also, I recommend using Wordpad because Notepad made it one long line of text
Regardless of what or how many times I try, I always end up on a stuck boot screen with circle crossing the screen on the LOS16 rom.

The issue will be this:
If I modify that in any way and you flash it
You will have a brick .
You can only flash modded images after you unlock the bootloader.
Best advice is to look for older or other copies of firmware from the manufacturer and hopefully one of those will allow you to get fastboot.
Anything not signed by manufacturer will brick u .

Ugh, so it will enter in a red state and it will refuse to boot...
So there's no any way?
PS: I can't find stock FW in any site...

Ive got several other recoveries for it.
Going to start work on several other device specific
System images for it.
Open for suggestions
I've been intrested a while now!
NOTE: I do have fastboot now from your package
Are you able to upload a copy of the unlocked bootloader images? I currently can't use fastboot because it requires USB 2.0 rather than 3.0 (which is bs in my opinion). I just plan to flash the images and unlock without the data wipe. Thank you again for your work sir!!!!
You'll have to use fastboot to unlock bootloader.
