Nothing changed.....
Installing Clockworkmod Recovery on your Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D means that you will be able to flash new custom ROMs on it. Without custom recovery you cannot flash new ROMs. Also, it should be installed on rooted devices. Clockworkmod Recovery can also be used to backup your entire ROM.
WARNING: Installing a recovery may brick your phone...Don't Blame Me.. Do at your Own Risk...
Note:- Alcatel OneTouch Flash Recovery Uses a secured boot.img,so a custom recovery will cause boot loop..Please Download and Flash The unsecured boot.img from below link. And flash it with recovery..
You need:
1. A Windows PC
2. CWM recovery (Download)
3. Unsecured Boot.img (Download)
4. SP Flash tools (Download)
5. Driver (Download)
6. Scatter file (Download)
7.Alcatel Onetouch Flash 6042D
Follow these steps to flash custom recovery using sp flash tools:
Step 1: Extract/unzip all downloaded files.
Step 2: Open SP flash tool and load scatter file.
Step 3: Unselect all blocks and select only RECOVERY and BOOT.
Step 4: Click the location column of RECOVERY and BOOT and select downloaded
recovery and boot.
Step 5: Press and Volume Down + Power to Enter in CWM Recovery Mode.

connecting in sp flash & mtk droid tools.
hai there
I have a peculiar problem here. I am not a programmer or some thing like that. But an avid fan of android.
I am not able to get my rooted 6042d detected in SP FT & MTK droid tools to take a back up. My system is Win.XP [SP3]. I even formatted the system twice to remove left overs. Even, I am clue less how to get it done. I installed the drivers provided by you. I think my ignorance of windows is the main hurdle here. Can you please guide me - how to? Sorry for the bother.
I wish to flash the secure CWM made by you and the LP style rom followed by it.
1. spft says 'the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect....reinstall..'
2.mtk droid tools says 'the device is not revealed.. connect or reconnect...' - on the right side -' in system already available android debug bridge 1.0.26'
thanks
PS: I know how to use both the tools, I did it with my previous device, also of MTK-zte.
Solution of your problem....

I recomend u to go to this link to solve your Spft problem...

after this problem solved try to flash unsecured boot.img first..
then u can try flashing My CWM recovery or Philz Recovery
(philz recovery can be found here...)
and got to this link
you can understand what is your problem connecting in mtk driod tool...
I think u must flash it.. because its the problem of your phone...
and if u face any problem contact me or for instant help just take the help of Google BABA!!!...
thanks for the swift reply.
SPFT problem solved as you suggested. But the problem with DT persists.
I do not have the stock rom of onetouch flash 6042d. [ my device is wrongly showing idol3!]
I want to have a SPFT back up in Droid Tools to be on safe side with imie etc. [being able to run Droid tools.]
I highly appreciate what ever the hints/advice I need in this regard, if extended.
When your LP themed rom for our device will be out?

CyanogenMod is not ready for daily use. You don't want to install it on S6.
Conenct your phone to PC in download mode and use "Rescue firmware" option on Smart Switch to reflash latest software.
Then, if you want to install TWRP, flash THIS TWRP via Odin after reflash firmware via Smart Switch;
http://www.arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
After you've flashed, boot into TWRP and install this zip via TWR;
https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip?retrieve_file=1
Then, reboot the system.

As with all Marshmallow ROMs or firmware, rooting is basically via a custom recovery as explained in Chainfire's 'systemless' root.
A good number of InFocus M680 users have been looking to find root solutions for their recent Marshmallow update. I've noticed this in many Android forums.
Follow the guide below to your Marshmallow firmware with ease.
Download and flash TWRP 3.0.2 on your device from Mod edit ppc links removed
Download SuperSu zip package
Power off your phone completely and wait a few seconds
Boot into recovery mode by holding power button + volume up
From TWRP screen, select Install and choose the SuperSu zip file you copied to the root of your sdcard
Swipe to flash the SuperSU package and wait for it finish flashing
Once complete, reboot your phone to system
Done
Unable to boot into recovery mode

Here are few names which have same cpu as LYF F1 i.e. Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 Processor:
Alcatel Idol 4,Sharp Aquos 507SH,Kyocera DuraForce Pro,Huawei G9 Lite,ZTE ZMax Pro,BlackBerry DTEK50,ZTE Axon Max,HTC One A9,ZTE Axon 7 Mini,Nubia Z11 Mini,Coolpad Max,Samsung Galaxy C5,Moto G4 Plus,Moto G4.
I have found the stock rom at the link "http://www.smartfirmwares.com/forum1/index.php?topic=189.0".
Can anyone help please?
Good news for all the users of LYF F1 who wants to have twrp and root access.
I found the stock rom at link "http://www.smartfirmwares.com/forum1/index.php?topic=189.0"
I extracted the stock rom and got the stock recovery,then I got the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon 7 Mini.
I ported the twrp by replacing only the zImage from the stock to the twrp,and kept the ramdisk the same in twrp.
It booted up well but I got a error that twrp could not mount any partition except the recovery.
I then got the twrp of Moto G4 Plus,but the twrp did not have the ramdisk,it only contains zImage,so I could not port it.
I then got the twrp of Samsung Galaxy C5 and ported it in the same way,but it put the phone into recovery bootloop,phone was booting into twrp,then switching off,then again booting to twrp,at one moment when phone was switched off for one second,I flashed again the previous working recovery.
I then ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Axon Max but it gave the same error that it could not mount any partition except the recovery.
Then I ported the twrp recovery of ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini and this one was successfull without any error,but the recovery was in chinese.I can not remember the whole thing but the first window appeared in front,I touched the lower right conrer and changed the language to english,since then everything is in english.The link of that recovery is "https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iZIwRNj3bpaEl3dWR1eXRsalk" and password is "Created-by-Tarasantan"
Now How did I flashed the twrp,I downloaded and extracted the stock rom,then I found a "_qcMUP.zip" within the zip "LYF F1 LS-5505 TOOL & DRIVERS.zip",then extracted the zip _qcMUP.zip,there in the support folder I found some windows softwares,I ran all of them to install the drivers and neccessary files.
Then in the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder I replaced the stock "recovery.img" with the twrp "recovery.img".And then I ran the "qcMUP.exe" in the _qcMUP folder which I previously extracted.
Now I clicked the do button in the upper right corner of "qcMUP.exe",then clicked upgrade,then I selected the "LYF F1 LS-5505 PC SW VER 01_06 By Gsm_F!rmwares_Tm" folder.
Now I switched off the phone,then I pressed and hold volume up and down at the same time,and pluged the phone into the computer and the flashing started on qcMUP.exe window with a light blue bar filling up with a deep blue colour as the flashing was going on.
This will clear all the apps and data you previously have had in your internal memory.So you can back up all the installed app with es filexplorer,or super backup,and all the contacts and smses with super backup,then you must move all the backed up things and other neccessary things to the sd card.At the end put the latest supersu.zip in your sd card.
The next part is very important,when flashing is passed,you will unplug the phone from the computer,then press and hold the power and the volume up at the same time.You will be booted up into twrp then somehow change the language to english from chinese,then flash the supersu.zip from your sd card,if you do not boot into twrp and flash the supersu.zip then whenever you will boot into the system,the twrp recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery,when you flash the supersu.zip,it patches the boot.img so that it does not replace the twrp recovery with the stock.
Alternatively
you can use the following method.I have not tested this method,but this should work.In this method you just need to download this file "TWRP For LYF F1.7z",from https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2iZIwRNj3bpanRsaUM0OEdYV3c ,password is Created-By-Tarasantan .This recovery is made for exactly LS-5505,that means ro.product.device is LS-5505 ,ro.product.locale is en-IN and other properties are also changed for LS-5505.
Download and Extract the "TWRP For LYF F1.7z" file,then install the given drivers,then run the "qcMUP.exe".
Now Click the do button in the upper right corner of "qcMUP.exe" window,then click upgrade,then select the "LYF F1 LS-5505 TWRP 3.0.2" folder.
Now switch off the phone,then press and hold volume up and down at the same time,and plug the phone into the computer and the flashing should start on qcMUP.exe window with a light blue bar filling up with a deep blue colour as the flashing is going on.
This will not clear any apps and data that you previously have had in your internal memory.So you do not need to back up anything.But you need to put a supersu.zip in your sd card.
The next part is very important,when flashing is passed,unplug the phone from the computer,then press and hold the power and the volume up at the same time.Your phone should be booted up into twrp,then flash the supersu.zip from your sd card,if you do not boot your phone into twrp and flash the supersu.zip then whenever you will boot into the system,the twrp recovery will be replaced with the stock recovery,when you flash the supersu.zip,it patches the boot.img so that the boot.img does not replace the twrp recovery with the stock one.
