How to root MT6572, ZTE/Telstra Tempo T815?

Could you please help my journey for rooting my ZTE?
Background story:
I bought this cheap phone on a whim when my Nokia Lumia 520's ear speaker stopped working. It's a great phone, but due to its small 4GB storage (even less user available), I can't store all the apps n stuff I need on it, so I'm carrying around two phones everywhere. I mainly want root so I can store apps on my SD card.
I can't find any root guides, and I've tried most common one click root solutions, and apk solutions.
I'm new to non one click root, but want to learn more about development, and have to start somewhere! There is basically nil development for this phone, and that's why I need your help.
From all the research I've done, it looks like I need to somehow get the stock rom or boot image, to modify the kernel to allow easy root access.
Actual issue:
However here is where i get stuck in chicken-egg situation where I need root to install CWM, and I need CWM to get a boot image, and I need the boot image to get root. I believe ZTE already has unlocked bootloaders on all their phones, can anyone confirm? Otherwise I'll have to call their support (I'm dreading this). Before you suggest anything, there is no stock images online that I can find.
TL;DR: Can you please give assistance on how to root MT6572?

I also believe its called the ZTE V815 on some other countries
Thank you very much. I will be extremely grateful if I am able to root this phone, but I know I won't be able to do it without help.

Search if there are custom recoveries available for ur MT6572 phone (use Google and XDA to search).
If any one of these seem to boot up, just install Super Su zip from that recovery.
As far as I have searched, It seems no one created a custom recovery for your phone

Thanks, but CWM seems to be the only recovery compatible, unless I've missed something.

If CWM is working, download this to your SD card: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
Boot info CWM recovery.
Then choose 'Install Zip' option. Then select 'From SD Card '
Browse and select the SuperSu zip file which you downloaded.
That's all!!

Yeah, don't seem to be able install CWM without root. All the guides I've found are kinda contradictory, saying install CWM to get root, and the say you need stock rom backup or root to install, of which I can't get either.
If you can find a way to install CWM without root I'd be extremely grateful

Enable USB debugging in phone.
Install your phone drivers and ADB drivers in your computer.
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot software in your PC (Google it)
Connect phone to PC, open Minimal ADB shortcut in desktop, type this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now flash or boot up the CWM recovery.img for your phone from here by using command like:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Now just install SuperSu from there in recovery.

Someone got Cyanogen 12 running on this phone...
https://mobile.twitter.com/uberlaggydarwin/status/552059487272448000
I would think Cyanogen would be the best way to root your phone. Inuse to use it when I have my Droid Razr but I dont like them as much on my Note.
Check out this site I have not read too much on it but their might be someone there that can help.
https://cmotc.github.io
And if you figure it out you should make a walkthrough on how you did it for others with that phone

sorry for taing time my internet got down.
without adb it,s really hard to root.
first of all wile powering up your phone press vol down or up one of them will take you to fastboot mode then in pc instad of adb device,s type fastboot devices if it wotks then we can proceed.
if not then try rooting apps like framaroot or z4root

Adb was working, but not now.
Framaroot and z4root both don't with, haven't tried every modstring combo on towelroot, recommend ones haven't worked.
Anyway, doing something else for now, will come back to it later.

reboot into recovery dosen,t matter if it,s stock.
select clear data or factory reset or clear cache and data like thing.
if did,t found then go to setting find factory reset. it might also do the job if zte set it to use recovery.

Renewing an old thread
I'm not sure if anyone has had any success rooting the ZTE T815 Tempo at all, but I am on a mission. If and when I find a way to root this phone so that I can make sure apps install to an SD card and not internal or 'phone' memory, I will post a walkthrough. I've had this phone for a week (as I inadvertently destroyed access to Google apps ; mail etc etc on my other cheapie) and discovered that with its limited storage and ignorance of installed D cards, that I can't install the most basic of apps that I use all the time because the Google bloatware and install restrictions on other apps chew up ALL of the internal storage. I've managed to do a basic hack through ADM to allow some apps to be moved to the 'phone' storage, but still, the majority of apps require root access to move them. I am angry, and motivated. Watch this space. If I brick it, I'll let you know.
Cheers

Locked peloader for one, no flashing via SPFT. I heard someone say to get to stock recovery you need to use the button combination same as Samsung phones. Volume up + home button + power. Try this and let me know if it works.
To unlock bootloader, use fastboot to do so. Do some research before unlocking. I made a custom recovery for this device but I couldn't test it.

Care to share said custom recovery? might help get it tested if people could get hands on it.
would also help if you shared what tools would be needed to flash it, and what tools are needed to back up beforehand,
possibly even a small step by step guide like you did for the other alcatel phones?

The recovery.img I compiled was a bit lacking, I'll have to fix build and probably make a guide, if I do have time that it.

Yea, I have been trying to root this phone for a while. I have probably tried everything besides Saferoot and nothing has worked.

Hi AdamOutler,
Beginners Clarification: your post 15th October 2016, 05:51 AM |#6 "Lol! Flash with Odin on Windows, Linux and Mac. Use JOdin3," Googled and found your "[Release] JOdin3 CASUAL Cross Platform and Web-Based Flashing For Samsung Phones" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598203
Does this mean you were able to root the Alcatel OneTouch A462C using JOdin3? (Also please do no Flame as had wanted to ask this by PM but was unable)
Thanks
Ken

I know this is a pretty big bump but I to need help with this phone any updates?
This Phone is a Qualcom Technologies, Inc "Proccessor MSM8609" Model TCL A462C Acatel Onetouch runing Android version 4.4.4 and Yes I have tried King root It reports Rooted but only temporarly and I cant even remove system apps with the temp root and yes I have tried third party apps for this process they claim root granted and even claimed they removed said apps but as soon as reboot root is gone and the apps are back please help.
Further more I havent been able to find a reliable way to transfer my root over to super su eaither
By the way I can go into factory recovery but cannot go into fastboot or download mode the only other mod I can go into is Safemode.
Also It Takes A while of running with the temp root but eventually although it takes a while kingroot will also eventually tell me that this phone restricts root authorization and by the time this happens Apps also start reporting that the su binary is not installed with the exception of super su which tells me su binary ocuipied This happens later after those same apps previously told me root granted. And yes I have checked and made sure there is not kingroot imposed restrictions. I dont know why this happens.

Bricked MT6577 SoSoon/Senq X8 Elite 3, NO USB Debug/ADB, Stock Recovry No Roms to D/L

I've had an MT6577 phone sitting around for a few years now that's been stuck in a boot loop. My phone karked it today and this is the only device lying around, hoping it can be revived some how to save a few dollars.
It all happened one time when I tried to use an app to install a new font just to see what it looks like.
Seems to be the most obscure thing ever made as it has many names and models all with 0 firmware available. Typically SoSoon X8 Elite 3 shows up as the most common make but I recall the original box having Senq X8 Elite on it.
The bad?:
USB Debugging is almost certainly off because ADB can't find a device no matter if I just plug it in off, in bootloop (shows 2 drives on my PC that are not ready to be used in this stage), fastboot mode, recovery (install update from ADB)
Questionable root, one of those generic one click apps.
No stock or custom roms available any where that I have found from searches here and there over the last few years
I tried to follow a tutorial to port an MT6577 rom but I would need the kernel off the phone, which can't be done to my limited knowledge.
No custom recoveries available, running Android System Recovery 3e. Can't use TWRP MTK 1 click install on my PC because the device needs to be fully booted to work.
The good?:
Fastboot seems to work as it does show the device in the command prompt "fastboot devices"
I think the bootloader was unlocked at some point, no idea on the relevance of that.
Any information on if/how to sort it out is greatly appreciated.
Last ditch effort to try revive it because it was decently usable for what it is, hoping that someone on here has one lying around somewhere.
Will add more information as I remember and reply to any responses asap
Thanks for your time

can you get the model it would be easier to look up for the rom
try fastboot oem device-info that will input some useful informations

Also tried "getvar all" which according to a post on a xiaomi forum, is an MTK specific command, returned nothing anyway.
Just showed the "..." until I pulled the USB cable out.
Thanks for the suggestion, guess that's a pretty significant strike against any kind of fix for it.

the battery is removable ? maybe you can find the model in the box if you have it , dont lose hope

The battery is soldered in but the back panel pops off easily, no information at all besides "X8" written on the battery.
I've found what I'm sure is the exact same model phone on GearBest and I've asked the seller if there's a chance of them providing the stock firmware.
This is the only form of model number I've found, but it's generic and shows up more Sony Xperia posts than anything else through google.

You don't need a whole firmware, all you need is a good copy of system.img from a device like yours or from a similar device that uses the same kernel, trying to find a whole firmware that will flash without issues will be kinda difficult because there are things in a whole firmware that might not work on your device, a system.img on the other hand doesnt have all the extras in a firmware that could cause issues. Use fastboot to flash the .img with this command.
fasboot flash system system.img
From what you described causing the issue, technically, all you "need" is a copy of the stock font to replace the font that you tried and screwed it up with, but getting just the font back on without doing anything else isn't as easy as flashing the whole system.img unless you have TWRP or can sideload apps in the recovery that you have.

Thank you for finding this, much closer than anything I've ever found. From what I can see on it, it's really close spec wise. I'll download it and have a look through the files before trying it.

I did try that. I have all kinds of zips that could supposedly be flashed with the stock roboto font as well as the file itself ofcourse but I could never get fast boot to so anything with it. Based solely off the assumption that all android devices use it as the default, and assuming that the app was just renaming custom fonts to Roboto or something along those lines.

flashed wrong bootloader

Idk what to do I flashed the wrong bootloader on my S7 (snapdragon) through flashfire and now I get a black screen with a blue LED with a green LED slowly blinking behind it. How to recover? Right now I'm just letting it die. Can't hard reset either.

Probably gonna have to take it somewhere for repair unless there is a program similar to SP Flash Tool (Smart Phone Flash Tool) which can flash a seemingly dead device, for the S7

Even a completely dead one? I don't want to have to buy a replacement motherboard, but it looks like i HAVE to. I was counting on the usb jig working, but i guess not. Not even my PC can recognize it. When i plug it it, nothing happens. Do you know of anyway i can revive it?

It's not dead, you just can't boot it because of whatever you did to it, hardware is still OK more than likely
That flash tool I was talking about just needs the device to have power, not sure exactly how it works but it can flash without being in any download mode for the devices it was designed for
If I knew of a way for you to revive it I would have suggested it in my first reply
Possibly a Linux machine and some shell commands could push a new BL to it, but that's above my knowledge
Basically you managed to kill it with software, so in theory it should be repairable without replacing hardware, but you're gonna need the right tools, and likely only a repair shop would have them
EDIT - And I just realised it's the Snapdragon S7, so the bootloader is locked, making it even more difficult

I am open to suggestions on what tools i may use. Im trying the flash tool as soon as i get home.
I tried to downgrade using flashfire after rooting the device but it failed and thats why it's dead.
At first it was just a blue light with a green one blinking behind it, but i let it die over night in hopes of being able to recover it in the morning. Now, there isnt even the light.
The battery isnt dead according to my multimeter.
While the bootloader is locked, it HAD engineerboot so maybe that allows something. :/
I would have taken it to a repair shop but the closest one knows nothing about software issues and only suggest hardware repairs, hence me wanting to replace the motherboard.
I'm going to search how to fix it with linux since i have a linux machine, i just have no experience with it at all. At least pushing the bootloader will help an awful lot. If you have any knowledge on any of these, even the slightest, do share. Ill do some research meanwhile and if i find a fix, I'll post it. This phone was so good and i miss it dearly, which is why i need all the help and research i can get.
Apparently no one has ever bricked the snapdragon version of this phone, given the lack of any google results similar to this situation on this phone. ;-;

Yea seems to be as suspected, here is a different device with same QUSB ID, and the fix is as I suggested using adb and different flash tools to push the correct files to the device

This is not for the S7 though, so don't copy it or use their tools, but it will give you a general idea of what the process would be if you had the correct files and flash tools available

Not sure how to enable the bootloader update function, if it will enable once you load firmware into the sections on the right, but try ODIN 3.12.10

Yea seems to be as suspected, here is a different device with same QUSB ID, and the fix is as I suggested using adb and different flash tools to push the correct files to the device

This is not for the S7 though, so don't copy it or use their tools, but it will give you a general idea of what the process would be if you had the correct files and flash tools available

Thanks for researching this. It did give me an idea, but it sucks that there is no tools for samsung devices stuck in QHSUSB_BULK mode. I found a guide that allows me to flash a PIT file and the bootloader file onto an SD card, and then insert it into the bricked S7, but that process requires a second S7 to flash the files onto. I tried flashing the boot.img and recovery.img onto the SD and hoping for the best, but still no luck. I'm looking for other methods. I saw on youtube that some guy used a program to flash an unbrick.img onto an SD, and that got it to go into download mode, but the tool he used was S5 specific and the video was a guide for the S5

Probably when you flashed the firmware through fastboot you have overwritten the files in there. As your bootloader is unlocked the better would be to flash a custom recovery on it and then pull all the files you want.

Hi SubwayChamp,
Good Day. Yea - i do agree your point of view, First of all thanks for your reply.
I flash my ROM previously on this device too , after complete the flash it working well.
Before i flash the ROM , the device perform auto upgrade but half way no battery & it force to shut down , after reopen it stuck at MI logo so without any choice i only choose to flash the ROM.
Actually i am not so expert on android ROM, by the way what is different between custom recovery vs those i got from XiaoMi official ROM ?
Mind tell me more on how to fix it please ?
Thank you

To know which direction to take, first we have to know how exactly you flashed the ROM you mentioned, which ROM was and through which tool.

Hi SubwayChamp,
Good Day. thanks for your reply.
I using official xiaomi - MiFlash as the tools to reflash the ROM.
ROM that i use - ferrari_global_images_6.7.5_20160523.0000.23_5.0_global
You may find attached Flash Log as reference.
Hope you can give me some good idea to resolve this issue.
Thank you

I saw in your other thread flashing process took only 94s, if it is the case then it's not flashing properly.
From the three options that's above on the tool, don't remember to use only the option format data, not relock bootloader or try to keep your data. (picture of reference)

And also in case you used fastboot to flash your device, I recommend you try through EDL mode

Hi SubwayChamp,
Thanks for prompt reply.
I think what you mentioned make sense - it's not flashing properly.
My Question
================
1) Related with Option to Flash
I am using save user data option at this moment.
But the option you suggest clean all & Lock will clear all my existing Picture or File from this mobile right?
2) Related your recommendation EDL mode
I don't think i able go others mode except Fastboot now because whenever my mobile open it's in Fastboot only.
Sorry to say actually study computing but i am newbie in all these , i don't even know what's EDL mode.
Thanks for your input.

Not the option Clean all & Lock because this will lead your hopes even far distant, a locked device with Qualcomm only can be flashed through EDL mode, fastboot mode will be impossible if you relock bootloader. I suggested using the option Format data because WHEN the flashing is successful one of the things that avoid the device to boot normally is the old data that it is still there. Anyway, this won't make difference while you don't get the tool to flash properly.

Some Xiaomi devices, while bootloader is unlocked can be sent to EDL mode using hardware buttons, with device off pressing the both volume buttons at exactly the same time you connect your device to PC, in case this method doesn't work you should need to use "the test point method" is a way slightly difficult to get it but... to flash through EDL mode you need to install the Qualcomm 9008 USB drivers https://www.thecustomdroid.com/qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-drivers/
And if you want to keep trying in fastboot mode, you could switch to other Mi Flash tool versions if it makes difference. Always is better to move all your firmware to the same directory where Mi Flash tool is, also avoid all the spaces in the path/name.
