ok i just saw that the offical marshmellow update had been released and wanted to upgrade.
i have the cricket 5.5" idol 3
my phone is rooted and has twrp installed would like info on how to get the update or a stock rom for the phone with marshmellow.
i am new to the upgrading after root and dont know if hiding root is enough or if i need to uninstall the su binary.
also not sure if the updated phone is rooted in the same way if i have to uninstall the su binary.
Hi,
You can reflash stock recovery and unrooot, then upgrade trough the Alcatel Update app.
Or you can flash stock modded rom UE 4 by murigny64. You'll get the mm stock rom without losing recovery. Have a look to it thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3435577
Is there a tutorial link for flashing the stock recovery and unrooting?
If so id be grsteful for the links.
As always thanks for any help provided.

To unroot, check the apps settings to see if there is an option to completely unroot.
If you want to get back to completely stock, you could use the mobile upgrade software to perform a factory restore. Check the official alcatel website for the program and drivers.
ok will be resetting and reverting to stock then will reinstall root and twrp.
running mobile upgrade now.
will update soon
boot is slow as hell.
may have issues
will update in a sec after a second reboot attempt
boot sucessfull.
updated need updated root and twrp guide for the new rom
wow
this is enought to drive me to a custom rom.
So the phone is running mm or lp?
it was runing mm.
discovered that adb is disabled hince no twrp and no trusted root btw kingo did root.
now im back to 5.0.2
looking for the modified update.zip i saw mentioned that doesnt overwrite bootloader.
ok got update.zip
from fotadownload folder need help with the modifier script.
i probably wouldn't go back to stock to then upgrade, as from what i've read getting twrp and root back on after upgrading to mm is not as easy as just keeping twrp and starting from there

there are mm roms in the Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development forum which are already prepped to just flash from twrp.
for example > [ROM/FIRMWARE][6045X] Android 6.0 Marshmallow for Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 5.5<
---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------
or >[6045][6.0.1][Stock-based] Project MATERIAL<
the ota modifier script keeps the bootloader and abd commands.
honestly id be fine with any root other than kingo wich seems to be the only working one
ok need a stable problem free marshmellow rom any recomendations.
im a linux noob and the ota modifier instructions baffle me at best.

Just rooted? No system modifications? Reason I ask is that if you are simply rooted and haven't modified system files AND you have stock recovery installed the update will go through fine...after which you reinstall twrp and flash su.zip

Well, I have Xposed installed and a bunch of modules running so technically I have modified some system files, plus I have Clockwork recovery installed...

I'm still on 4.4.3 with a viper rom. I'll probably have to update to 4.4.4 in order to get to 5.0.1 right? Will updating to 4.4.4 then 5.0 allow me to keep root still? Or can I just easily flash supersu.zip through adb sideload to access root again if lost?
I won't be putting lollipop on my phone until it gets Xposed support.

With custom recovery = no OTA. Anyway, you are on 4.4.4. What do you want to OTA update to?
Just wait a few days after the next OTA release and you'll find the firmware files, RUU and such here on XDA, ready to be flashed in fastboot or via dottat's wonderful .exe's. Wait a few days more and your custom rom will get an update based on the latest release.
I would never chase an OTA......

If you are S-off you can always flash a custom recovery and su in recovery.

I don't necessarily want to update, but HTC/Verizon is starting to push out the OTA for Lollipop. When I had my Incredible 2 (S-OFF/CWM recovery/rooted), VZW constantly nagged me with OTA update prompts until I edited a system (build.prop maybe? I can't remember) file to trick them into thinking I already had the latest. I just don't want a repeat of that, plus I'm really not interested in updating until Lollipop has full Xposed support!

Go to Settings > Apps, swipe to All and disable HTC DM. Or, even better, freeze it in TiBu.
That should take care of any update notification.
I followed this guide to get root on 5.0.1, but I didn't realize it makes updating a pain. I saw that this user's signature says he's running stock root, but I haven't been able to find a guide for doing so on Lollipop, only using towelroot on KitKat. The only thing I use the recovery for is getting root, so I don't care about keeping CWM if there's another way. Is there some way I can keep root and also use OTA updates?
If you are rooted and have a custom recovery, don't download the OTA within the tablet. Follow this thread, download desired FULL OTA Zip (WiFi or LTE) and latest SuperSu.zip. Flash OTA (≈700MB ) and then SuperSu. Won't loose custom recovery or root.

Yup! That's how I plan to do it for this update, but that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid doing in the future.

You won't be able to successfully flash the UPDATE .zip file (~94MB) on a rooted (read: modified) Lollipop version.
Recovery version is irrelevant.
You need the FULL 2.2 rom (already found above , ~731MB), flash it in your current custom recovery and re-root by flashing SuperSU again.

From that, I understand that even if you have stock recovery, by being rooted, OTA wont work on you.
Just for the fact of being rooted.
Again this is an SM-G920i.
Some things that I wold like to do with this phone, and it looks like I can with th 5.02.
Root
TWRP
Custon ROMS
Should I just ignore this update 5.1.1 update and work with the 5.02? I know that I can root using ping pong on the 5.02 as well as flash ROMS using FlashFire. I did this with no issues with my AT&T 920a.

If you want root just root then freeze the SDM using titanium backup. If you don't care about root take the update. It you want root then later want to unroot, first root, then, when you no longer want root, use Odin to install the latest stock firmware

I understand all of that completely. I tried to root via pingpong, but I was not able to install the apk. Message said App not Installed. I'll fuss some more about why the pingpong apk won't install.

Since you got root, Freeze or uninstall the SDM (System Updater).
That way you will no longer receive notifications to update!
Hello I have a question.. I have the LG G3 VS98524B stock rom with root permission and twrp auto recovery installed and my current rom and data completely backed up. My question: is it possible to update from 5.0 to 5.1 without looking root and twrp ? The reason I'm asking is because I keep recieving notifications indicating that there is a new update available ota , I really would like to accept the update as it addresses a few bugs the G3 is having,as a result of the 5.0 update, but I'm concerned about looking root and twrp. Can someone maybe explain how to do this? And also is if I will loose root and twrp either way can someone just explain how I would want to go about unrooting then updating to 5.1 and rerooting and installing twrp if that's possible? Simply put I just want the update without loosing root and twrp but if that can't be done than what ways are available for unrooting,Then update and root again and is rooting the same way I had originally even possible on new 5.1. If not what tools would do that ?. Or can I just unroot then update and then boot into twrp and restore root somehow ? Just not sure what to do and any help would be great thank you..
Updating should be fine. If not just re-root. Or just update it via a sideload on ADB or some****.
Ok thank you. Do you think there is a root solution available for 5.1 currently ? Also if I'm unable to update ota style and do need to un root will updating cause me to loose twrp cuz I thought it wipes your everthing as well as the boot loader? And if I recall there is no twrp available yet for lg g3 vs98535b witch is what it would be after the update ? One more thing sorry but if I recall correctly an OTA update won't install anyway if the stock rom has root right ? Cuz technically it's been modified right ?
Side loading via ADB style
Sorry everyone I meant to ask this in previous post how do you sideload and install an update through ADB does it involve a PC? And if so is there a way to accomplish that task without a PC unfortunately I don't have one at the moment.. Thanks!
You need a PC to force (sideload) anything to your phone.

You should be able to just push the new firmware onto the device and use the bootloader to flash it.
Hi guys, any idea why im being unable to root my device??
Ive tried with a normal process and also with kingo root
Its a one+ 1 with os 5.1.1 and CM 12.1 but the CM its also not properly installed, I downloaded the root checker app abd it says my device is not rooted.
Please help!!
Only there are 3 steps for rooting
1) unlock bootloader,
2) flash latest twrp recovery
3) then root with supersu .
After lollipop the apk roots are not working, but they show fake adds, don't believe them.
In Settings- Developpers options - remove Update Cyanogen recovery
And in SuperSU - remove Respect CM root settings
I rooted mine half an hour ago with king root. Had the January patch on

King root works. I have full SU and BB . Adaway, etc working,reason for doing it. I spend a fortune on paid apps and I'm sick of the intrusive ads on ones that won't charge
Unable to do it
Thanks guys I've tried all these options you are sharing, but had no success
By default my one+ should be rooted with cianogen right?
But the root checker app shows that it's not properly rooted
Tried with kingo root and didn't work.
Also from developer options unchecked the update cm option and flashes the recovery and erased it and nothing
