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

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!!

thank you this is the fist time i have releced my of work due to not being able to read and wright

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.

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

Xperfix

Hi Friends
My wife by mistake deleted important files. Tried Dr. Fone and others but need to root before doing deepscan to recover. I spend hours and but error all the time at 80% because no root access.
I have no choice but to unlock bootloader without backing up TA neither I know how to do it.
Due to late night no time to manually sideloads, but bought Xperfix to do the job to TWRP/ROOT/DRM
So far twrp installed successfully but not rooted nor installed magisk . Let me pull the usb at 20% and wait twrp to reload after 100% nothing done. Maybe twrp not mounted system properly?
I am also worry now after seeing others saying that unlocking bootloader will effect the camera functions?
But as per xperfix 3.0 it says the problem been solved.
How is this Xperfix does it really work ?

try flashing magisk 16 in recovery and see if you get root.

When you bought Xperiafix you also bought support from the developer. Go back to sToRm//'s website and raise a support ticket.
If you include the txt logs found in c:\xperiafix that would be helpful
I have used his tool on my XZ1 compact, so I know it works, but getting the right drivers installed on your Windows machine is a real minefield. Windows chooses the wrong drivers by default when you connect the phone with TWRP running. This sounds like your problem to me. You have to manually add them with the phone connected TWRP on.
Also, you can't just install the drivers in Windows 10 (Windows doesn't tell you it failed to install the drivers, you just can't connect.), you have to go into safe mode and install the drivers with 'driver signing disabled',
There is a lot of helpful advice in the original Xperiafix thread, along with the links to drivers required.
Edit: you have to pull the USB at 20%, go into TWRP yourself (from powered off, hold volume down & power, wait until phone starts, keep volume down for a few more seconds) and swipe to make system partion writeable, then reconnect phone and Xperiafix will do the rest.

appreciate your reply , I have tried many times reflashing with xperifix when twrp reach 20% to restart it wont restart auto I need follow on screen instructions to do and mounted the system untic the and finished to 100% but again no magis and no drm . I copied the magis file from xperifix folder and flashed directly now have rooted already. Only thing why I have been using xperfix because of camera issue and is green. Support no reply yet since yesterday.
Can I manually flash the drm and fix the camera issue ? Please guide me my wife is so sad about this incident.

Hi Raven I can see the DRM Folder with files but which files to flash or if have any instructions somewhere to follow to avoid error.
DRM >
Lib folder
Lib64 folder
sfk application
Or I just need to run sfk app in twrp that's it?

Can you post the logs from the C:\Xperiafix folder?
Once you have reached the 20% step and gone into TWRP to enable system file write and plug the phone back in, Xperiafix continues if it does nothing then the drivers are wrong.
You will know when the drivers are right as the phone restarts itself once it's been reconnected to Xperiafix.
Read this thread on the original app, everything is explained and the drivers linked

Explanation from sToRm//, help is on the way!

I got it fixed by reinstalling and use WIN10 . Now all set. Appreciate to all my friends on XDA for assisting me.
I want to now after this will I be still getting OTA from Sony can update or need manually update?
How is the battery life after using xperfix?

Android pay will work if you follow Xperiafix. Magisk will install and if you select 'magisk hide' in the settings you will be able to use android pay. It's ok, you don't have to pretend it's your wife's phone

Hi Mate
Thats what we did but failed with Android Pay at counter.
Also bank applications refuse to install because phone was rooted.
Do banking applications works on rooted phone?

Have you tried to run Safteynet after you have installed Magisk? (on the Magisk start page)
Do you have Xposed installed?
There is no way to hide Xposed and it will fail Safteynet
I have several banking apps that work and one that refuses to install

Nope I did not install xposed.
Here is the problem after clicked start safety net the status all are failed.

Now we have received notifications of OTA Updates I want update her phone . Do I need to follow exactly as per below link ?
How about settings and data will that remain? Because I use TWRP on my other phones to flash roms which is fast and safe.
Why we dont have same solution for Sony but need use newflasher tools?

Root access

hello to all of you,
So i know there are probably many threads about this, but i just cant get my xz premium rooted. i've been trying for a while now.
Last time i rooted a phone was in the windows mobile 6 time lol.
So i tried to unlock the bootloader with the official sony guide on their site bit it didnt work.
i tried some apps like kingroot and oneclickroot but i quickly found that kingroot only gets adware on my phone and oneclickroot is payed and hell i aint paying for nothing.
I tried some manual methods but also these i cant get to work.
So is there any simple thread on how to root my xz premium ?
side note:
my volume up button is broken but i still got it into fastboot so i got this far.
thanks in advantage.
