Need help with rooting a phone. (ALCATEL 3L MODEL: 5029Y) - General Questions and Answers

Please do move this to the correct thread, as I am new here.
So, as I stated in the title, I need help rooting this phone. I am familiar with rooting, flashing and all of that. But there is a huge problem with this phone, as I am unable to find the stock rom of it anywhere on the internet. There are no guides, either. It's like this phone doesn't even exist.
Another thing is, that this phone was modified in my country to be called "A1 Alpha 20", it's the basic version, not the Plus one. I'm pretty sure there are guides for the Plus one... But the name/model is Alcatel 3L (2020) 5029Y. The phones are the same, I'm pretty sure the Alcatel 3L rom would work fine on it, too. They have the same specs as well.
It's a pretty solid phone, with good specs, not sure why nobody is talking about it. Even my older phone, Samsung J5, has a ton of guides, and of course, I installed TWRP on it and rooted it a year ago. It's working good, even to this day.
So, I'm asking for your help here, I need tips on how to root this phone. I want to know if it's possible pulling the stock firmware out of it, or just rooting it without TWRP? I can't find TWRP for it either, I'm afraid there is nothing I will be able to do for now. I have access to ADB tools and a PC, if I can maybe do something with these. I enabled OEM unlocking without having to format which means that my bootloader was unlocked? If so, could that make pulling stock images easier???
Please help me out. Thank you. For any additional information (model, build number, all info that I can pull out using applications and such) just let me know and I will tell you.

To add root functionality to Android all you have to do is to replace existing ( restricted ) Toybox binary by an unrestricted version, like Toybox 0.8.5.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (G360T)

Hey everyone,
So this is pretty straight foreward, I'm attempting to root my Galaxy Core Prime (G360T, from T-Mobile in US) and I have had absolutely zero luck finding ANYTHING related that model number.
I've found plenty of stuff here, but it is all related to the G360H, G, and even the T1 (i think?) I've tried Kingo, Odin, and a few other things and I'm getting absolutely no where.
I'm wondering if anyone out here has had any luck with rooting this device in particular, or if maybe there is something I'm missing? I'm pretty new to the idea of rooting devices but I'm a proficient technically so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Is it T-Mobile software or something blocking the ability to root? I can't believe there is that much of a difference between my phone and say the G360H.
Thanks in advanced for the help, as I'm totally clueless at this point.

There are many of us using the MetroPCS version G360T1 that will gladly try any root method you get going. Feel free to contact directly if you need some testing help. While waiting for root, I tried Package Disabler Pro 3.7 that was released September 15. It works fine on the G360T1, although it says "Custom" under "Device status" in "About Device -> Status." Haven't gone to Download Mode to see if the triangle is set or not, but I'm guessing the flash counter has been tripped. I'm not worried about it too much, and it may have been tripped with some other attempt to root the device. Still, this app was just what I needed to disable all the junkware and still have a smooth working Lollipop 5.1.1 while waiting for the real goodies.

The thing is i got g3601 and its running kitkat and no update availble on it ??? so i am porting 5.1 for it.Recovery has been patched up and working kinda fine but need to fix alot of issues.normally i dont develop for mid range mobiles but my brother got one so that is why i started with this one.my first projects are z3 + and xperia lines.I will let you know when it is completed for testing.
Hmm, I thought this was for SM-G360T and the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime that is out for T-Mobile and running Lollipop 5.x. Is the G3601 a typo or different model? The MetroPCS G360T1 will work fine with the firmware and files from T-Mobile G360T because they are the same device and even same network provider. Anyway, it looks like someone was kind enough to modify the kernel source code the Samsung posted just a week or two ago. Here is the news, but be warned that it will trip the KNOX flag:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g360t1-5-1-1-t3203522
I put my G360T1 in download mode and it still says official and no warning triangle. I mentioned that it said custom in the About Phone page after doing other terminal entries and running Package Disabler Pro 3.7. Some may want to wait to root the device until there is a deodex'd rom out there to run xposed framework. I like the slimed down stock 5.1.1 and there are a bunch of garbage programs hogging the decent entry level device resources. More news to come...

My specs:
Model #: SM-360T
Android Version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G360TUVU1AOF9
I migrated from Nokia 521 - Windows 8.1 phone to this Android device because of the litany of apps I could use for productivity. I am highly disappointed that I am unable to revoke permissions of applications to resources I think they don't need. So, I basically use phone to make calls and text. If someone has successfully rooted THIS smartphone version, please advise. I'm a little technical, too.
Try this: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu. find your model and download the file you need, unzip it then put your phone in download mode and use odin 3.7 to send it to the phone. That outta be enough. I have not rooted this particular device in a while but I have rooted plenty of others using that method and it works like a charm every time. I just did a quick look up and your model is listed there. Give it a try and post your results.
Thank you so much, Geevil!!!
Appreciate your response.

Hello how would one root the sm-g360t and get custom recovery on it ?
Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk
I have the sm g360t1, though no computer to connect the phone to. I see this phone listed in the cf-auto root repository linked above- not sure if that method needs a computer. King root may have worked, though the root gone by when using w0lfdroid's
Kingroot removal/supersu installer. It worked on orher phones.
King root is such spyware. I really want to try something else...

Yes King Root is bad. Pretty much like malware for your device. Don't use cf-auto-root either, as it's kind of a generic root and doesn't really function properly. I'm helping people constantly fix their devices after either tryung King or CF. Use Trapkernel to root the SM-G360T1 & SM-G360T. It's quick and easy and roots the device with no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013 Here is the recovery you should use too in case anyone's wondering. You flash it the same way as root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
I recommend using version 3.0.1-0 though, as version 3.0.2-0 has had problem flashing certain roms for some reason.
Thanks bogarty, I was able to root and flash custom recovery on my phone with both links you provided here.. I have the T-Mobile version (SM-G360T) but everything went well
Dont know if ppl still trying to root this device but I just found out that you can download the rooting file trough chainfire for this model. HereĀ“s the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/767/C...to-Root-cprimeltetmo-cprimeltetmo-smg360t.zip
Why do that when there is a root method for this device.
Follow this thread here for all your root needs for this device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...should work just fine for the tmobile version
will this allow me to use a at&t sim card in my SM-G360T phone instead of T-Mobile

[Q] Finding a way to root from rooted devices?

Hi,
Is it possible to find a way to root from already rooted devices? It may sound weird, but I got a rooted device from one who did not provide how to do it. Since I have another device which I want to root, I hope there is any way to extract some pieces of information.
It is not a typical device with customized bootloader. I can extract some files like hacked system apps but it should be not enough. Any suggestion or advice?
Best,

Are the two devices the same? If not then, no, the other rooted device won't help you.
To find how to root the device you want to root, do a Google search for:
"How to root (your model number)"

Yes, they are exactly the same. And obviously the reason why I'm asking here is there is no information on Google.
After researching, I'm pretty sure that eMMC hacking is the only probable way that does not depend on a specific/unknown device. As it's been done with Amazon TV here (http://solderwiresandplastic.com/20...the-amazon-firetv-to-achieve-root-privileges/).

Careful, the android on TVs and TV sticks/boxes isn't quite the same as android on phones and tablets.
If the other device is rooted and is identical you can try using adb to pull a copy of the system.img from the rooted device. Then use adb to push the rooted system.img to the non rooted device. Or use fastboot to flash the rooted system.img onto the non rooted device.
What is the model number of your non rooted device? Is the rooted device the exact same model number? Or does it have the same device name but different model number? I'll make sure there are no device specific things that you need yo know about that might cause issues.
Rooting by directly interfacing with eMMC is a very extreme method that is very rarely used.

Thanks for the reply. But I'm not that ignorant to try exactly the same method for TV to other devices or to be confused with model numbers or so. Usual rooting methods are not applicable in this case, for even USB communication is blocked intentionally for security reasons. If I could use adb to connect to the device, I would not ask this kind of question.
I know hardware hacking is very extreme, and devices whose rooting method is unknown usually require such extreme methods. Of course, I won't try to modify eMMC myself because it's too risky. On the other hand, it looks quite easy and promising compared to unusual rooting methods, e. g. hacking firmware update routine to penetrate system files.

Rooting a Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T)

Hi. I'm new here as a member, but I've found this site from my interest in rooting earlier this year. I'm aware of losing data and accidental bricking, and I've been searching for quite a while. I'm mostly interested to get rid of "bloatware" and remove ads. I currently don't know where or how to start, but I did start backing up files and data to keep. I also got SuperSU and Titanium Backup (and ADB installed on my computer).
I came across several pages of stuff, but I couldn't find anything recent/relevant. Links:

This would be a thread you'd want to take a look at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616. Unfortunately, you are on binary #11/B, and there is no root for that. There is no eng.boot for that, and that's what you need in order to root. The last eng.boot was for #10/A.

Not until there is the correct eng.boot for the current binary. Our bootloader's are locked, so no way to downgrade.

Root method for Samsung Galaxy Xcover Fieldpro? (SM-G889A)

Anyone know of a working method to root this phone?
I have a few on the AT&T network. I couldn't find a sub-forum here for this specific device.
I am also looking for pointers. Trying to edit my build.prop, but if I can get full on root and recovery, I'd be elated.
it's currently not possible to root xcover fieldpro since rom from this model are unvailable on public, even tools like friya can't download it. original rom are needed to make twrp or patch boot.img wirh magisk

I have the BL5 stock roms and combination files. Had to pay for them. Would love to share them with developers who can cook something up like the cool people did for my S8 Active with that SamFail V2 ROM or whatever. As it stands, even with flashing the combination file that has a passive state on the kernel, still can't get it running for user ways. It's set up for purely development. If you could get me the build number info, I'll try to track down your ROM for ya, found a bunch of them, but only downloaded my own bootloader version so that way, I didn't update bootloader and screw myself.
Only thing I can think of in my mind, is unzipping the ROM and putting in the SU files in all the proper places, zipping it back up, and then flashing it, but unsure if that would even work.
Has anything changed on root options for this device?
There's an XDA thread out for a paid service that was supposed good for up to certain versions of firmware on several Galaxy devices (up to early 2020 and earlier security patches I think).
The guy had listed an Xcover Pro as one of the successes of his patch, so I had hopes.
Since this FieldPro is not even a Snapdragon chipset, but an Exynos, I figured it was less restricted and someone might have heard of an exploit by now.

ATOTO Radios

Hey ya'll , I have not been here since the days of my Samsung galaxy Tab 1 and 2 so it's been quite a while however after perusing thru something else way over on the other side of this thing they call the internet I saw a tidbit about flashing ATOTO's , so I was curious since I have a shop here in Ontario and we sell and install Android Radios. ATOTO and JMANCE being a couple of our top sellers. Simply because they Carry AM radio which many android radios don't. Now here is my question?
What is the purpose of this Flash and Root and what can it do for me or what extra could it potentially offer a customer for me ? Please explain ? I'm sorry but I was reading thru the posts and I could not find out exactly what can be done or changed when doing this ... like what I'd like to know is ? Are we giving it more features ? Or ? Better apps or ? Sorry im just not following here ? In layman's terms .. I'd be very happy to get a good answer here ? Thanks in advance

In simplified terms:
1.
