thanks.. I found a thread but its for LOCKED bootloader.. mine is already unlocked... Is there any way to re-lock my bootloader?

The procedure is same for unlocked bootloader (for rooting you don't need to downgrade if unlocked but since you're rooted it matters not).

Install a recovery, flash a pre-rooted lollipop rom.
Find recovery in the dev section (If you already have recovery you are OK)
Find pre-rooted flashable zips in the general section, download it, flash it.

put the zip on your sdcard, enter recovery and choose the option to install a custom update.

[Q] Flash TWRP j5 from odin

Hey friend, im new in this forum. I have a phone Galaxy J500G with build number J500GXXU1A0J1.
I want to flash custom recovery TWRP from @CTXz in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3219901
I folllow instruction, OEM unlocking i set enable in Developer Option.
And i flash via odin and success, but when i get into a Recovery Mode, the Recovery is still in Stock Recovery.
Why?

Try to flash via flashify or dd

Using flashify must be root? My phone its not root, I want rooting my phone after twrp flash to my phone using superuser.zip.
Because i have read if rooted by e53 file from chainfire cannot be flash Exsposed, it's true @CTXz?

Just flash this Supersu

So just to clarify, I have a 6045I factory global unlocked from Amazon, It has never been rooted, bootloader unlocked, nothing. So would I place on SD and apply update through stock recovery, or is there a different method? Really just want root for adaway and xposed. TWRP would be nice, but not necessary. Just don't want a new paperweight. Thanks!

Can i install twrp to flash thid or stock is fine?

You can try windroid toolkit v3.1.
First u have to unlock bootloader then to flash recovery and supersu .
For me it is not recognising my phone hope u will get success.
If try then pls share ur experience.

I downloaded twice, and twice got security that windroid 3.1 has trojan, and was quarantined!?!

For me it got downloaded but showing device either offline or unauthorized

I'd run a full virus /malware scan.... I use 360 Security on mobile devices and PC's. It, along with SUPERAntiSpyware has served me well.

Just install the TWRP 3.0 in android development (it has instructions in the thread) and then you can flash the supersu mentioned.

Well the obvious choices are:
1) Use mobile Q to restore to 5.0.2...unlock bootloader, install twrp....upgrade to marshmallow using the modified update.zip that doesn't wipe recovery and finally root using the file mentioned.
or
2) Live with it as it is until someone figures out how to restore fastboot which will probably still require downgrading.

I am waiting some days otherwise i will downgrade
BTW my device is recognized in fastboot but commands not working. It means fastboot is working but commands have been changed

That's the problem. This phone is totally stock with nothing done but the update. I literally charged it, turned it on and 20 minutes later 6.0.1 was nagging for install, which I did. There is now the OEM unlock switch in developing options, but I don't know where to start, or flash.

You must go back to 5.0 to install and then update it because in 6.0.1 update Removes Fastboot commands so you can't install it twrp....

I have a problem with rooting 6039Y on rom 6.0.1 by persona78. Stock rom 5.0.2 and root working fine. When i flash via TWRP after the update to MM i get this message:
-Cheking patch status
---Already patched, attempting to find stock backup
---Stock restore failed, attempting ramdisk restore
---Ramdisk restore failed, aborting
This solution - echo SYSTEMLESS=true >> /data/.supersu - not working.
Phone was simlock removed via furiousgold, maybe this is a problem?

Alcatel one touch idol 3 (5.5) 6045Y
i have this model Alcatel one touch idol 3 (5.5) 6045Y
full unlocked with unlocked bootloader and sim free (single sim model) with 6.0.1 from alcatel not updated to 6.0.1 already i got with 6.0.1 from alcatel (i know you will say "but that phone has 5.0 and updated to 6.0.1 trough a phone update online" But it is not updated ,phone came directly from factory and how i can root this device if there is any help.

Still no solution to rooting stock MM 6045I?

Hope this helps someone
I know this thread is dead, but replying so people can find the information easier.
I used this guide to flash twrp then used twrp to root on stock 6045O 6.0.1.

You need to install a custom recovery, from the installed custom recovery, you need to flash super su zip.
if your device got no custom recoveries, then you cant.....

Not able to boot into recovery mode

My "Coolpad Note 3" is not booting into recovery mode after Flashing Cool ui 8 V22 Rom & TWRP Recovery. However Normally its booting absolutely fine and its quite stable Rom. But I seriously need to flash TWRP in order to install SuperSU and Xposed Installer. Anyone Please suggest any solution Asap.
(Also My Titanium Backup(Apps+Data) could only be restored after granting root access).

Did you flash the correct recovery for your model number?
Have you tried flashing the recovery again?

Yes I Have flashed the correct recovery with SP FLASH TOOL (Mtk 6753 Scatter file). It shows that it will boot into recovery mode but again screen blanks and same process repeats.

Do you know of your bootloader was unlocked before you flashed the recovery?
If it was locked then that is why it won't boot to recovery.

Yes, it's the same for all android.
adb reboot recovery
This still doesn't work if your bootloader was locked when you flashed your recovery.
If the bootloader was locked, you'll have to flash a copy of your stock recovery.
Then unlock the bootloader, then flash the recovery. It will probably work correctly then.

As I Know, Coolpad Note 3 comes with pre-unlocked bootloader. And Earlier I had TWRP installed in it with the same method. I dont think so The Bootloader was Locked as I Have flashed Cool Ui 8.....nd that was done quite easily.

Ok, if you had TWRP on it before then it isn't locked.
Did you at any point create a nandroid backup while that version of TWRP was installed? Have you tried flashing that same version of TWRP?

Yes, those are nandroid backups.
Can you flash the recovery that you used to create those backups? Or is that the same recovery that you're trying to flash now but can't get it to boot?

I dont remember the exact version of Twrp as its not officially available for my device. But ya..I had tried to flash 2-3 recovery.img 's (including the one which I flashed earlier). But no one worked...it just repeats the same process.

The device may have came with bootloader unlocked when you got it, but you flashed a stock update Cool UI 8, if that stock update came with a locked bootloader as part of the update package then your bootloader is locked now, and that would still explain why you can't flash or boot to TWRP.
Verify whether the Cool UI 8 v22 firmware itself came with an updated and locked bootloader. It has nothing to do with whether your device came with unlocked bootloader.

Ya I Have checked...Coolpad has locked bootloader for this firmvare version. What should I do now....Should I flash the earlier version of cool ui 8 or Is there any method to unlock ot manually?
(Ps: Not able to find Adb & Fastboot drivers for this device)

I'm not sure about the bootloader, I didn't find anything about unlocking bootloader for Cool UI 8 v22. Does it have a "OEM unlock" setting in system settings? If so, enable it and then see if you can flash/boot TWRP. Try fastboot with the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
But I did find something about how to root your device, if the information is correct. You might be able to root what you have then use FireFlash or Flashify to flash the Xposed Framework and get it working. You probably won't have unlocked bootloader or TWRP though.
But, you also might be able to downgrade to your previous firmware but I'm not sure if that will unlock your bootloader or not. The locked bootloader might not allow you to downgrade your firmware.
