Kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance

I am following this thread before you even suggested me, but its very confusing. I have made my TA Partition Backup. Now there are few steps which are totally out of sync by the writer of this thread himself. For example.
7.Unlock your bootloader now.request keys from here.follow the guide
http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlo...r-boot-loader/
He did not even mention how to unlock the bootloader, but nontheless I found out the steps to unlock my bootloader. But there is one problem with me. When I run that fastbood unlocker command, my pc gives error. I am pasting a screenshot of that error. Kindly follow it up and suggest me the fix for it.

you have to go into your developer settings of the device and click "enable oem unlock" (an odd decision to have this if you ask me)
i tried this and had to enable that open aswell for me to unlock my bootloader

Thanks buddy. It worked like charm :good: . But you know with greater possibilities comes greater mysteries. Now since I am rooted with my phone, there are strange things happening. For example Greenify is now acting like that it doesnt have full root access even though I have allowed it through SU and it will show Greenify - No Auto Hibernation, then it mentions Pending Manual Hibernation, when I click on manual hibernation it starts to Force Stop the apps using the Apps Module of the Android OS, a thing which never happened with me on any of my rooted android phones. :silly::crying:
Second problem is that the guide which made me root the one which you also suggested me, installed TWRP recovery on my device. :crying:For some funny reasons I never liked TWRP Recoveries and wouldn't stand a chance to use it. I tried to flash XZDual Recovery, but to of no avail. Is there any workaround to remove TWRP or Flash XZDual Recovery on top of TWRP and make XZ Dual Recovery as Default Recovery.?:silly::silly:

Not that I know of and given the support and useful things in twrp i'd suggest you use it although you may not like it
Reinstalling apps usually works for me half the time if they are acting odd.

Buddy I think through this tutorial either root access is not properly allowed or maybe this whole tutorial had some kind of step which made partial rooting. Strange things are happeing with some applications. For example SD MAID PRO and ROOT UNINSTALLER PRO are working with root access without any problems. But GREENIFY and now CLEAN MASTER's AUTO START UP feature (requires root access) is not working even it says CLEAN MASTER has been given root access on my device. But then it fails to toggle enable/disable STARTUP ADDS which are around 34+. Second this Greenify is not even AUTO HIBERNATING the apps which are user apps. If I run it on NON ROOT MODE it says MANUAL HIBERNATION PENDING. If I run it on ROOT MODE it says on the top "No Auto-Hibernation" and down again written "Pending Manual Hibernation".
I have tried multiple SU packages like 2.71 Beta 2.65 but same ****s going on again and again. Can you figure it out :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

not sure, it doesnt make Any sense that some apps work and some dont because i followed the same tutorial and ive not had any root related issues so im out of ideas really
but first make sure that if you flash a stock kernel then use the rootkernel tool to drm patch and well obviously allow root.

Greenify latest version is 2.8.1 . I removed it and installed an older version 2.7.1 and it is now working automatically hibernating the unncessary apps. Now remains only CLEAN MASTER. Its working with root only I cant use toggle enabling/disabling startup adds.:silly::silly::cyclops:

If you are following the thread. In the android folder of the downloaded folder there are folders of twrp recovery. Replace them with your desired recovery and then make rooted kernel with rootkernel oldkernel.img newkernel.img
And then flash it

Does rooting void the warranty of the device? And if yes, can we get the warranty back somehow?

Yes it will surely void the warranty
You can get back only if you unroot, re flash original Rom and update via OTA

Alcatel Onetouch Flint Root

Hey, guys. I found a way to root Alcatel Onetouch Flint by Cricket Wireless. First, you have to enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources. Then, download the kingroot app from kingroot.net After rooting is complete, reboot your phone. When it boots back up, download SuperSU from google play. It will ask to update binary click normal. It will ask you to remove other superuser apps (kingroot and purify) click ok andit will do it for you. If it says binary update failed just click reboot and superSU works fine ater reboot.
If you want to install Xposed, check out my other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/xposed-alcatel-onetouch-flint-t3440789/page1

You find any twrp yet?

No custom recovery yet cuz we can't unlock the bootloader yet

So I found an option to "allow OEM bootloader unlock" in developer options but still no way to actually unlock it yet

I know I'm late to the party, but wanted to say good work and I got one myself after they lowered the price at Target to $50. Purchased an unlock code for $6 and will be using the root method you lined out after I get and use my sim unlock code. Thanks again!!!

Can someone plz try this method to flash twrp and see if it works

It worked for me! Guys just follow his guide and u should be good. Thanks @jsowen321

Getting SuperSu to replace Kingroot was super annoying and frustrating.
SuperSu Me just hangs cause KingUser doesn't like to be replaced and it makes sure you know that by installing itself as a system app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/replace-kingroot-supersu-t3339950
That did for me effortlessly and SuperSu updated the binary after soooo many failed attempts.
"sh switch_armv7.sh"
You'll understand after you read the last step.
SuperSu Me should be ran after switching to remove KingRoot files from phone.
Root, Xposed and TWRP is easily achieved as long as you know how to follow directions.
Thank you @Casey Campanile & @jsowen321

lost root
I rooted my device using KingRoot , but I never could get SuperSU to install binary codes. I had read how to replace it so I download the zip file and the only thing it didwas send me error that KingRoot has stopped working. No root access. Question is do can I just start over using the instructions u gave. As u can probable tell this is my first time rooting a phone..

Yea just restart ur phone. If KingRoot is still installed, remove it, and then reinstall KingRoot again. If it's already removed just reinstall it. After rooting with KingRoot, download SuperSU from Google play and update binary using the "normal" method. Then it will ask to remove other superuser apps click OK or yes so it will remove KingRoot for u

Thank you for taking the time to deal with my issues. I did as u instructed, uninstalled and reinstalled then installed SuperSU. Unfortunately it says install failed,. Now what I'm afraid of messing things up thank u

Seems like this thread is alive, and the phone is still available in retail stores in the US.
You can root this phone without having to go through the kingroot app. See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/alcatel-users-t3488125
Hope this helps anyone who recently purchased this phone!

So what can I do with this now that I've rooted it? Is there some new rom I can install to run the latest Android? This is my first Alcatel...I've been a Samsung Galaxy S person for a bit. Looking for some fun with the Alcaltel.

Is there a way to bypass cricket hotspot lock. My phone is rooted and I installed Xposed but I can't find a way to bypass wifi tethering lock.

Follow this Guide!!

I did this to both of my flints. Rooted by kingo. Installed build.prop. Changed fm transmit from false to true. Net used ex file explorer. Show hidden files. Delete power roll back app. I’m on $100 for 5 lines plan. I use over 300 GB per line. Hope that helps.

I've been running a hotspot on my flint for over a year…
1. root (i used kingo)
2. install "DisableService"
3. disable system service "com.tctApp.serviceEntitlement
4. reboot and setup hotspot
5. I uninstalled kingo and rebooted and the "disable" stuck and still works.

Xposed?

Has anyone attempted to install xposed on the honor 8?

Yes, works. Arm64.

I can confirm, XPosed can be installed...
Albeit it seems to have a "small" bug - for me the dialer did stop working when xposed was installed (could not make any call)
V86 ARM64 xposed by rovio...
will need to investigate further.
Can anyone confirm/deny/did find a workaround?

I have xposed and dialer is working fine. Maybe it's some particular mod you've installed.

I tried installing xposed from this link http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/ but I'm always getting a bootloop. Did you use another zip file?

For me, xposed did work using magisk + systemless xposed (material xposed intaller + v86.5); as well as using v86 - i think the version you posted.
I could revert my previous dialer problem by rebooting several times till all files have been treated by xposed as they should have been...

I confirm the 'Dialer' bug you're facing. I have faced the same bug on all of the Honor devices I have owned. Whenever I hit the 'Call' button, the app crashes. A simple reboot does fixes the problem but it soon re-appears. No fix for it though.

so how did you do this? i only read quick on the magisk thread but it said to flash magisk on a unrooted newly wiped phone.

About magisk,
you have to unroot your device from SuperSU. After that flash the stock boot image if available (unrooting from SuperSU usually suffices but if it doesn't works, it better to flash stock boot image)
About Xposed dialer bug (on EMUI only), yes as far as I know, I never experienced any crashes while accepting calls.

i feel extremely stupid here. i'm reading on the magisk thread and i don't understand at all.
i got a honor 8 (FRD-L09) and i've rooted it, like i mentioned earlier.
can you please help me with the steps i need to take to unroot and whatever else i need to do to flash magisk?
i can't find stock rom for my FRD-L09, so what do you suggest? just doing a full factory reset, flashing twrp, flashing magisk, rooting, restoring to the backup i create before doing the factory reset.
what do you think about those steps and in that order? if you think i need to change something or add another step please let me know.
not sure if that's enough to unroot the device, i'm also really uncertain about the correct magisk version/file i need to flash for my device. other xposed versions have different files for arm, arm64 and x86, but here there's only one file. am i missing something or does this work on all versions? or have i misunderstood how it works?
sorry about throwing so many questions at you but i'm really confused about this.

Take a complete backup just in case.
Perform a full unroot via SuperSU (find it in Settings). It will restore the modded files with the original ones hence reverting your boot image to the stock one.
Perform a full Factory reset. (remember to backup crucial data before attempting it)
Download B101 FRD-L09 stock ROM from here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=dload-honor-8-frdl09-frd-b101.zip
Extract the downloaded zip. There will be two folders, 'Part 1' and Part 2'. On your external SD card, create a folder 'dload'. Copy 'Update.APP' from 'Part 1' to the dload folder in your SD card. Power down the device. Hold Power Button + Volume Up + Volume Down buttons until you see the Honor logo. Your device will now automatically start installing the complete stock ROM. If in case your device boots to TWRP, then follow the below steps:
Download Huawei Update Extractor from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Use Huawei Update Extractor to extract RECOVERY from the Update.APP inside 'Part 1'.
Use 'fastboot' to flash the stock recovery.
Now try installing the Update.APP. This time it will work. Repeat the steps for Update.APP inside 'Part 2'
You're now on fresh stock ROM.
Download magisk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19960&task=get and flash it via TWRP.

thnx. i followed your steps, with a few added ones. i didn't realize that my bootloader would lock up again after flashing stock so i had to unlock it and reflash twrp.
i did wonder about the root since all phones have different root versions and he's offering a one for all version, but i flashed it and i now got working root.
still not done tho, still got to install the magisk manager and xposed
but thank you so much for you help, really felt like i was fumbling in the dark there for a moment before asking you lol
EDIT:
that it let's you turn the root on and off with a switch is ingenious. but what does it mean that google pay is not working while root is on?

Yes, while the root is on, all applications that include the 'SafetyNet' check will refuse to work (such as Android Pay, Pokemon Go). When you switch it off, everything will start to work again.

There is a rule to check if modules will work flawlessly on your device or not. It's simple. All modules that were designed keeping AOSP in mind will not work. EMUI is a completely different iteration if Android and hence many of the options in Gravity Box will not work on EMUI.

Got it working on the note 7 port Rom

I'm on a Note 5 and going to give this a try using my version of TWRP. Will edit this post and report findings!
Able to boot after flashing the first .zip. Always got boot loop previous after flashing TWRP but not flashing root! Thanks for the solution!
Basically the minimum I want is the ability to remove my boot sound and update my hosts file. This lets me do that but otherwise be stock. Good enough. Wish I had xposed, root, but still Android Pay and PGO without reboots but that's ok.

Can anybody confirm that this is true for me? I haven't seen anyone else mention this.

Hello, I would like your help.
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I installed the Root Switch to use Pokemon Go, but my phone crashed and rebooted while I played. After that, I was not able to activate root again, including the SuperSU app says my cell does not have Root.
Does anyone know how I should proceed? Would redoing root solve my case?
Thank you.

Thanks mattzeller! It worked!

Just to clarify, this requires an unlocked bootloader correct? I am on the g930v with is locked.

Yes that's correct

It looks like the Root Switch has stopped working, at least here on my S4 I9505 with Android 5.0.1.
Anyone else going through this?

Root Switch never work on my G900T S5 with Lollipop 5.1.1

There was a safetynet update last week that breaks RootSwitch. Had to go the Magisk route but now can use Android Pay along with PoGo

[HELP?] Factory Reset on nougat now no keyboard

So, i got accepted to the nougat beta but i decided to hold off until later to install it. I finally decided to take the plunge and just to be sure i wiped my device and then installed it just to be sure that no problems arose.
After it installed i was greeted with the usual startup procedure but when it came to signing in there was no keyboard, only google voice typing which doesn't work for passwords. As a result i am now left with a phone with an unlocked bootloader and factory reset protection on without any way to get past setup (unless anyone knows a glitch/bug)
Any advice on the situation??

That is strange. I wonder if this is due to a software issue.

Isn't it easier to just download an APK for a keyboard (E. g. Google keyboard, Swiftkey) and install that via ADB or push it to the phone and install it?

I just installed a keyboard apk and it fixed that issue for me.

Similar issue
Just encountered a very similar problem, (sorry if I don't explain well enough, I'm a newbie with this stuff) with a uk L09 model.
I recently had to reinstall an app using adb due to compatibility issues preventing me from using it. due to a misunderstanding on my part, I believed I needed to install it to an external sd card, rather than the /sdcard/ directory, this came up with some errors that I'm still unsure of, specifically it claimed the sd card was read-only despite me still being able to conventionally copy a file onto it and then play it back, so I went about looking for how to make it writeable, all solutions to this pointed to rooting the phone, so I decided to try that, I got as far as unlocking the bootloader, and failed to flash, after much frustration, I re-read the original advice for the app and managed to install it successfully. because the original issue was resolved, I decided not to finish rooting as It turns out, I didn't need it.
The next day I went about trying to re-lock the bootloader, this worked, but when I hard reset it, it directs me through the login process, at which point, I cannot proceed because there is no keyboard available. I still have the default recovery, I can use fastboot but not regular adb, and I cannot get to settings. I tried unlocking again through fastboot, but it returned command not allowed, reading other guides, it seems my only option involves the rollback, but I don't currently have a microsd adapter to put files directly onto it without using the phone, I've ordered one, but I'm unsure if it will allow me to considering even fastboot continue returned (Remote: Command not allowed). so far I've had no luck in flashing anything, so I'm incredibly nervous that my phone's effectively bricked.
Thank you for reading

If you have relocked bootloader can't fastboot and adb. Try download this zip. Make dload folder in root of your internal storage. Unzip files and pu to dload. Turn phone off and turn on with holding vol+/vol-/on,off buttons, this can may help

I can't access my phone's internal storage because it defaults to charge only, and does not allow me to change the access to enable file transfer because I cannot get past the login due to the lack of keyboard.

Rommco05 said:
So, anyway you will need sdcard
edit: u can't skip all settings?

No, it requires a google account which was previously synced, which I can't input, sadly. microsd reader has been ordered, will have to wait a little while though.
