Hello XDA, i come here with a doubt about how to root my phone, i found this article about it:
How to Root Alcatel Tetra / TCL 5041C and Install TWRP Recovery
Easy tutorial to Root Alcatel Tetra / TCL 5041C Smartphone in easy steps. For rooting, you have to flash TWRP Recovery first through the guide.
www.androidweblog.com
The article seems to be specific for the model of my phone, but it is legit? It seems to be using a custom TWRP build Link and Magisk, it didn't specify version, but i suppose the latest one (v22) should work?
So rooting this phone it is literally that? Install TWRP then patch Magisk in it? With the instructions given in that article? I though i had to download a custom rom. It will wipe data from the phone? (this is just an incovenience).

Don't download a custom .img file from a nowhere site. Download it from the Official source, since your device is officially supported by TWRP. The rest of the instructions are in that link, but flashing Magisk after TWRP is the correct standard procedure and should suffice your needs. Which Magisk version can be anything from 21.0 up to 22.0, However, please backup these partitions in TWRP before flashing:
Boot
System
Cust (or any name similar to that)
Also, Wiping your data (factory reset) after unlocking the Bootloader is not avoidable, because it's a Requirement to all manufacturers to enforce this rule for security reasons (in case someone wants to steal your data).

Hi guys. Please bear with me - I am a noob to rooting phones and custome recoveries. I haven't had an android device since ~2011, so I need some time to get reacquainted. (Poke fun at me for using iPhones)
Either way, I recently got a 5" Google Pixel and have been looking for a decent guide to root it. I have done research on the topic, but I can't find a straightforward guide or instruction list. I believe I could do it, I just don't want to risk bricking a $700 device.
From my understanding, I need to unlock the boot loader, adb boot some custom recovery image, then install the latest root package. Again, if my jargon is confusing I apologize - I've beeb with the Jailbreaking community for quite a while and haven't tweaked an android device forever.
Could someone link a guide or help me out? Also I have been reading places that you must flash the supersu zip to two different locations for it to work properly.
In the end, I'm hoping to have my Pixel rooted on the most recent firmware and be able to use Adaway and to be able to update with FlashFire (I think that's the name). Also, I'm hoping to keep systemless root to avoid tripping SafetyNet. I would like to be able to easily update.
Thanks in advance guys, sorry for the long post. Hopefully someone more knowledgable can take me under their wing.

That's the procedure. I booted TWRP Alpha 2 for installing SuperSU, so that I didn't need to worry about the popup that sometimes doesn't show up on TWRP RC1. The following seems somewhat verbose to me, but it's the correct procedure and includes videos if you want to watch someone do each step. You don't need to download the TWRP zip, so like noted, you can stop at step 12 on the TWRP instructions and avoid installing TWRP to the phone.

Hi, I got a BLU Studio J1. I am sorry for the newbie question. I am looking to root this device. No intention on installing any custom ROM, I only need root. Can you point me out which files (if available) would I need to do so? Thank you!

You have the BLU Studio J1 - S050Q - MT6570 - Android 6.0 Marshmallow - 512RAM - 8GB ROM.
So my question can be funny. But need.
You searched any custom recovery for your device before asking here?
If yes: So you have 2 ways. 1) Got to link and the guys create one to you => TWRP Builder
Read all thread!!
2) send me 3 files from stock ROM (same build version ROM of your device): recovery.img - boot.img - scatter....txt
If you don't have stock ROM, so I can't help!!
You need know about tool process to flash files.
READ this!!
About TWRP question:
1- is need anyone with experience (or courage to do) to flash stock files with SPFT.
IYou can able to do a backup stock ROM with SPFT if build version ROM is different from firmware. Then you will be able to flash the test file.
2- is need know if need unlock bootloader or not.
The first moment NO UNLOCK! If the file test not boot so is need Unlock to know if work file test.
3- I not need phone in my hands. But is very easy and fast solving issues when have its.
Because is more easy to repair phone if anything wrong happens. So the risk and responsability is of the user!!

Okay. Lets go by part. I have not looked/found any custom recovery for this device yet. If I am correct, getting a custom recovery for my device/build would allow me to initiate or start the process or rooting the phone? right?

I have some experience with flashing devices, and I am aware of some of its basic principles and what It means. I am willing do it myself and take the risk, given I wont need get or purchase extra hardware for it. I assume with SPFT is some sort of tool that I can use to extract my current ROM build and flash?

With Custom recovery you can flash SuperSu or Magisk to have Root. Marshmallow ROM has the part that no good to Root with apps (in first released. But can have modified.).
So You can try some apps or software to have Root like kingroot (I don't like that but...). Search in xda!
Stock ROM: click in the link first post have Source Code going to thread with firmware and SEARCH if exist.
On that can have recovery.img file.
If not: send me PM and I show for you.
Your MT6570 can have difficulty or easy. All depend of your knowledge, courage and attempts!
Obviously, with security is better!!

i Have a Blu S1 (Blu R1 HD 2018) rooted with magisk and i did a working TWPR ported from Doogee Y6, but my problem is that when i boot in TWPR it ask for a patron to decrypt data. I draw the patron but it fail to decrypt (can use normaly) and internal storage shows 0MB.
Recovery shows a partition called /System Image" with 2650Mb and /Data with around 12Gb
Any way to fix this issue?
Edit: I did a factory reset. Now the internal storage is fixed and TWPR dont ask for decryp data. But the Wipe Data delete the files in internal storage

You have the BLU S1 - S0320WW - MT6750 - Android 7.0 Nougat - 2 GB RAM - 16GB ROM.
For TWRP 3.2.x (either the kernel with Marshmallow or Nougat) it is necessary to perform a data reset (WIPE - FORMAT DATA) part so that the TWRP recognizes the data structure in the phone. This is required for TWRP to also see internal storage.
For people who do not know, there is currently a patch.zip called disable_encryption (forceencrypt=> encryptable). But it should be done particularly for an MT6750 with Android 7 or someone else making one for /or you do yourself.
With the option made in FORMAT DATA the device will start the ROM as factory.
That's why I always write something that people should know about like the attacked image.
Obviously, after installing TWRP you could use a MicroSD to back up your data. But, since you have already reset ....
Regarding partitions do you need to know, compare and confirm if the TWRP coming from the donor has the same partitioning structure as your phone.
If everything works out well, congratulations and good luck! :fingers-crossed:
@lopestom intentionally i reset factory to remove the data encryption and it worked. TWRP shows all the partitions with the available space.
What I want is to be able to do in the future, to clean Data without removing files from internal storage (music, pics)
Could that be possible?
I compared the partition table of both and they are the same.
The difference between the devices more than everything, is in ram and storage.
Hace the same mt6750

Well. If you or other user installing TWRP in first time so yes, need FORMAT Data. But installing universal disable encrypt patch and Root so I think the users no lost internal storage. Obviously if TWRP look internal storage after install that files....
If no, so need FORMAT Data. In this case that's need only in first install TWRP. After that no need same process....
Two ways for no lost files: 1) put files in the Microsd. 2) in each period you can copy files to your PC or host/server like google photos, drive, etc...

You can try the KingRoot option from here. It worked on my Blu Studio One Plus. It says 2018 but its updated 2019 in the actual post. But in reality, nothing probably changed from the previous year to this year

Hello lopestom, thank you for the TWRP for the Blu Studio One Plus. I tried getting the file from Android File Host but it kept telling me that access was denied to me there. Luckily I found it here.
I am hoping you can help me as I now want to use TWRP and magisk to root my device instead of the kingroot that I used previously.
Can you upload the stock boot.img for the Blu Studio One Plus? I'm trying to flash the stock firmware once more onto the device so It can hopefully fix some problems I'm having. After removing kingroot, it's being pesky and not letting me fully remove root and is at times stuck in a bootloop or not wanting to boot properly at all.
I'm able to access factory mode, standard recovery mode, and go into fastboot. But I'm afraid to create my own boot.img from it's current state, fearing the current problems will persist. The latest firmware I have is BLU_S0130UU_V14_GENERIC
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hello again!
I found the TWRP from your downloads link in you= first post and then with even more searching I found a stock image here on XDA for the phone. Thank you for your help!
I need a little direction on what my next step should be for obtaining root and twrp on my device.
As it states in the title, I just unlocked bootloader on my Sprint\Tmo OnePlus 8 5G.
I want to root and install TWRP, ultimately.
What I THINK I know so far in what I need to do next:
Obtain root (I need a good walkthrough on this as well)
Back up persist.img
Back up boot.img
Install magisk?
Patch boot.img with magisk?
Install TWRP via magisk?
Flash rom via twrp or magisk depending on rom requirements?
As you might see, I'm a little confused.
Can someone clarify the process for my specific adventure? Again, it's and freshly BL Unlocked Spront\Tmo OnePlus 8 5G on 10.5.21.IN55CB software.

As you can see it's read through a number of them but it all feels jumbled.
There's not one coherent guide that I could find. Could someone link me a complete guide to rooting this device?
So far I have transferred the backup of one Samsung phone to several new phones via TWRP backup. How could I currently transfer a full backup to more phones? Used an unlocked LineageOS with the Lineage recovery. Of course the transfer should be done offline and best scripted. What are your approaches?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm posting this guide for those (like me) who can't do without TWRP on their device. I'm providing only a step-by-step explanation. Credits to @nikamura for his kernel and TWRP...
forum.xda-developers.com
Thanks for the suggested way, it does not look very robust. Is there any other way to distribute the image? I am not limited to TWRP!
I have been reading more articles about getting root access on an Android device and am finding the information to be contradictary. It might be the way I am reading it but when it says
"How To Install TWRP Custom Recovery On Any Android Phone (Without Root)"
I assume it actually means any Android, but it requires a custom recovery image for a particular phone so therefore it can only be for an android device where a custom image is available.
When I was running android 5.1 I installed TWRP so as to backup and restore my phone in case things went wrong, now I am running Android 7 it seems I cannot get a version of TWRP.
Can anyone assist as to what recovery tools I could install on a Ruggex 2 phone running android 7 please
thanks Roy
recovery is "independent" from main android OS. if you already have custom recovery installed on your device, it will even work without any OS installed, so it doesn't care if your phone is running Lollipop or Nougat. you can however check download source for newer version
If that is the case then why does the forum state
How to install TWRP on any Android device
but then goes on to say
Downloading TWRP for your device
which implies it is device dependant and not generic?
thanks Roy
Thx, I got it first time. of course custom recovery is device dependant. but that's not what I said. I said recovery mode is independent from android version. (at least till < 11)
btw it's not contradictory to say the Installation is generic for "any" android device (despites the difference device has recovery in partition or in ramdisk) while the Download is device dependant.
also take note that installing custom recovery and rooting android are two different tasks that do not depend on each other.
I think I am just getting more confused the deeper I go, it was fairly easy on my Android 5.1 device but with Android 7 it just seems to fight at every corner. I just cannot install and access TWRP on my device which is important for so many task.
what exactly is the problem?
I am trying to get root access on my Ruggex Rhino device, I had it all working when it was running Android 5.1 but the OS had to be upgraded to Android 6 or above for the new program to work, it is now on Android 7 .
I tryed the original method using King root but that fails to root and having read these forums it appears the way forward is to use Magisk rather than super user but that is another issue. This device on Android 7 does not have any recovery mode, power button and volume up just states no command and not sure if this is anything to do with my problems.
My ideal end goal would be a device running just the one navigation program and all the rest gone including phone module but have been told that is not possible so have to live with the bloated.
Roy
So you are the one who is confusing different things.
King root is so called one-click rooting app that tries to find exploit in its online database and provides root. This method is outdated, you can read more about here
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/205706
the only one-click rooting app still working I am aware of is mtk-easy-su based on mtk-su exploit and magisk.
the "no command" screen is part of your stock recovery. this indicates your custom recovery has been replaced by stock recovery. read about "no command" screen here
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/155705
installing custom recovery on android devices will break boot chain of trust. device will boot-loop and deny booting. therefore android will restore stock recovery on each boot, unless you disabled that feature.
read about dm-verity and stock recovery failsafe here
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/214902
systemless-root is the root method available with SuperSU or Magisk, where system partition no longer is modified (to keep it healthy for updates). instead, the boot partition is modified, that requires bootloader to be unlocked (most devices).
bootloader unlocking will factory reset your device. some older devices allow installing custom recovery on locked bootloader, but you need to find a way to flash it.
Thats good information, move on away from Kingroot due to obsolescence and look into systemless root which from what I have gathered so far is not detected by the system. I will initially look into SuperSu as that was running on Android 5.1, I remember it used to ask for permision to access root and so far Magisk has just taken me round in circles. But first I will look at those articles and see what I can learn.
thanks Roy
actually, rooting with SuperSU is done by flashing SuperSU zip from TWRP. I couldn't find TWRP for your device, but we can help you porting generic TWRP for your device.
rooting with Magisk is done without TWRP
- unlock bootloader (+ factory reset)
- install Magisk apk
- patch boot.img with Magisk app
- flash patched boot.img
(see Installation Instructions)
