FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.016s

so been looking around and seem to have lost fastboot commands with the update and as far as i know no work around for the 6045Y :crying:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
i am have tried latest 6045y firmware and fastboot is working for me. i think its the drivers.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
sorry its the "allow usb debugging" in settings and confirm the usb debugging conect to your pc.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
still no joy every fastboot command seems to be working just not the fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

if fastboot wasnt working would that mean i wouldnt be able to use this command because i can fastboot -i 0x1bbb reboot

just wont let me unlock bootloader im on 010 02
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
it is possible that alcatel with the latest updates in your country removed fastboot command oem u lock from aboot partition.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
Oh no what does that mean i cannot unlock bootloader is it not possible to flash another stock rom or do i need bootloader unlocked to do that
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
to flash another firmware you need custom recovety to have custom recovery you have to unlock bootloader. As fat as i know. You can try to flash twrp recovery and root your phone without unlocking your bootloader, but i think it shouldn't work.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
Ah looks like I'm stuck for now then :(

If I get another update from OTA then hopefully I'll be able to root ect

Gutted main thing I do with a phone is root ect hate having loads of stock apps installed

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Is they a alcatel pc suite or something I'll try a reinstall that way see if it works
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
there is mobile upgrade q app for pc, but the app just restore your device to latest firmware, which is, in your case, the one without fastboot unlock command.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
Ah right ok looks like im stuck theb for now what would be the worse that would happen if i tried flashing TWRP would it just fail to install
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
yes, fail to install nothing more.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
maybe they just release this update to be able to release the Marshmallow update and to be sure the devices are locked, but on other side it would have no impact on allready unlocked owners. really dont get this. If it is true or you just made something wrong.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
Well i believe im doing everything right ive tried loads of different fastboot files ect the worry i have is what if future updates they dont return the fastboot commands then im stuck not been able to root forever
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
not right. There is a thread here how to restore fastboot commands on alcatel idol3 6039. The procedure should be the same but you need some specific files for 6045 version. Since i don't have this issue and i dont have so much time i cant investigate the files and make the procedure for 6045 users, sorry.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] brockyneo:
ok thanks for your help hopefully there will be something soon ill give TWRP a try now anyways seen as tho it carnt do no damage to the phone hopefully

Issue with 6045b

Hey people,

First time poster, just got the Idol 3 - 6045B build. Coming from a Oneplus so bit of a Cyanogen fan.

ADB/fast boot finds the phone ok, but none of the commands work, it just hangs on....

The device should reboot to the screen showing "alcatel onetouch...powered by android". This is bootloader mod

I can see others had issues a while back, any fixes since?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] merikgvr4:
Hi fellas, have a cricket idol 3 and trying to unlock bootloader. My laptop can't find device, tried all USB ports and still the same. Will try my desktop tomorrow but I'd like to ask for some suggestions on how to get my computer to find the device. Thanks in advance.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] masterdex:
I restored my phone with the Alcatel version 5.0 program and everything went well but I still like I can relock the bootloader unlocked? what are the ADB commands?

Hi, Just got my new Idol 3 and I upgraded to MM now trying to unlock the boot loader but its failing on each command except fastboot devices. can someone help me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Unjustified Dev:
Use mobile q to downgrade back to L before they no longer allow downgrading. It will wipe you clean so backup your internal storage. Once your on L install twrp and hold for a day or two I'll have something for M so you can get root. We have guides here on XDA for both. I recommend the latest mobile q upgrade software from Alcatel's website.

Unable to Unlock bootloader

Hello,

I've tried tried to unlock the bootloader of my Idol 3 with your tutorial but I launch the OEM unlock command it tell me that the OEM unlock isn't available.

Could someone help me there ?

Thanks in advance
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
No help yet for 6045x version (until you have 6039x model).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keviiin38:
It didn't work with 6045Y ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
6039 model can be modified to have bootloader which can be unlocked.

I didn not heard about this aplied to 6045 model.

Only way is to download and flash "panasonic eluga switch" firmware, install it, then unlock bootloader and then use mobile upgrade q to go back to stock (the bootloader will stay unlocked).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keviiin38:
So I download the File from your Kernel folder in the drive

I flash it with fastboot ?

Then I try again to unlock bootloader with your tutorial, and then I can flash a rom directly or I must flash a stock version before ?

Thanks
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
KERNEL FOLDER?

You have to download this

then after the flash process is done, you have to unlock bootloade rand then root, custom recovery and then you can flash whatever you want :)

you dont need to go to stock.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] keviiin38:
Thanks, see the screen below, is it the same thing ?

Okay, i'll try and if something goes wrong i'll ask you again, thanks a lot for your help :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
you have to unlock bootloader. It has nothing to do with kernel.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tomgv:
Hello, i have this problem and i just ignore this message and try to flash or boot twrp image. Im now on DCZ 1.4 rom, i have TWRP recovery and still on bootloader status im locked and Device unlocked: false.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] sikita:
Where can I find instructions for modifying 6039 to unlock bootloader? I am getting "Unknown command" on "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock" command. Thank you.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
Thanks for pointing that. I correct that right now

[EDIT] Script is now working.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
Backup doesn't work on dual sim 32g version because dual sim version doesn't have external sdcard so to edit the bat file e need to chand sdcard1 to what? Sdcard? Sdcard2? Xd tank you
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
Usually, it's sdcard. ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
just change to "/sdcard/" from "/storage/sdcard1/"
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Apologies if this has been answered already - - Considering that rooting voids the warranty, if I do root the device - and then later for some reason need to return the device to Alcatel ( for a warranty situation for example ) , what is the 'undo' procedure ? Would a simple factory reset take the device back to its original configuration ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
in supersu app is a unroot menu, which uninstall the root.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
Thank you I will do the backup
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
but i dont know if the partitions are the same as in single sim version
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
Is the sdcard i'm backuping right now. The folder is to big to be maintained on the internal storage :/ what are the pros of keep the backup on the phone? If you want i can upload the . BAT EDITED
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
its to keep it on your computer...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Great job on the scripts/thread! Linux doesn't require sudo for the adb commands but it does require it to start the adb server and for fastboot at least on my linux mint system.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
On my Ubuntu, sudo must be invoked for each adb command. Otherwise command may not work. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. So I am used to call sudo each time!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rhcohen:
%frankee207, another small point with your backup script is that the "press any key to continue" and "press any key to exit" echoes should probably be deleted or modified -- it isn't the pressing of any key that makes the script continue, it is the pressing of "enter" or "return".

More general questions, to the community at large: should we generate "restore" scripts (.sh, .bat) to go along with the backup scripts? Pretty straightforward; I could take a stab at this. But: how confident are we that these scripts actually back up/restore everything needed to restore the state of the phone? (It would be rather scary to test by wiping then restoring).
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
:)

I was editing it too

[EDIT] Now, I do think it's OK !
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] dngen:
My phone has been stuck on the reboot screen for several minutes now after running root.bat. Is this normal?

Is the bootloader supposed to be unlocked before rooting?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maigre:
Will relocking the bootloader work with

fastboot oem lock

If I end up returning this phone, I want to make sure it's as stock as possible so that I don't risk losing my refund.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] SkandaH:
You need to change the URL to the proper one.

BTW, thanks for this beautiful compilation.

:)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
I am noticing that -- >> fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices << is NOT showing any devices - it simply shows fastboot command line help

fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info << this does show bootloader status - but that is pretty much it.

fastboot -i 0x1bbb reboot << this does reboot normally

..so what am I doing wrong? I have tried this twice with the same result. Thankfully not bricked yet - but not attempted root either. Want to make sure I do not ignore any obvious problem signs .

Also that entire set of steps (to unlock bootloader) is optional - correct ? And probably not recommended if you do not want to void your warranty ?

thanks for any pointers
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Just do "fastboot devices"...you don't specify the 0x1bbb till you are sending commands directly to the idol 3.

[MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] Here's a fix for the guide.

If you plan to use a replacement recovery like TWRP then you will need your bootloader unlocked.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] zerog2:
If I just want to be rooted, do I need to unlock bootloader as well?

Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] persona78:
That is weird...

you can try this ( need windows ) ...

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] lakker:
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my 6045B. It reboots into the bootloader, but the next command doesn't do anything. and if I ask for the device info it just says waiting for device

"fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" this doesn't do anything
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] XEng1neeRx:
Same thing here. If i skip to "oem unlock" it says <waiting for device>. Unpluginng the cable results in FAILED:

<remote: oem unlock is not allowed>

Any solution to this?

Using 6045Y
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] lakker:
Did you instal the drivers correctly?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] XEng1neeRx:
Actually i just checked device manager after "adb reboot-bootloader" and it shows Code 10 (could not start this device) on Android Bootloader Interface. I have no idea how to solve this...

P.S. Had alot of problems installing drivers from "CD-ROM". It kept hangin on 10%. I dumped the drivers from phone to pc and then installed them but not sure if thats a correct way to do this.

Sometime it works but when I'm trying "oem unlock" command it says "OEM unlock is not allowed"

Windows 8.1 btw
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Lollipop (5.0.2) or Marshmallow (6.0.1)?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] XEng1neeRx:
5.0.2
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Are you on cricket in USA by any chance? If possible you should really try it on a win 7 machine to see if win 8.1 is the issue. I know that's not always possible. What model phone?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] XEng1neeRx:
Nope, Austria :) 6045Y. Thought about win 7 too but have no access to it.

Was thinking about setting up virtual machine with win 7 but not sure if that's gonna work...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xiiflowx:
They removed those command with the latest update I had the same issue. But I flashed the Panasonic firmware and unlocked bootloader after that and the used Mobile Upgrade Q to get back, now I have unlocked bootloader on 5.0.2.

Did it with a windows 7 virtual machine on parallels software and worked.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] XEng1neeRx:

Well my fault. I bought the phone couple days ago and updated it. Will try this and letbyou know how it went. Thanks.

Lollipop or Marshmallow?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gm2racer:
Lollipop, I just restored my TWRP backup in order to get LTE again and would like to root the phone until somebody figures out how to get LTE to properly work with the Cricket 6045O and MM.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jeik:
Try going completely to stock with Mobile Upgrade Q,then install TWRP and flash the SuperSU which is said to work for Lollipop in any root guide for the Idol 3.

What version of TWRP should I be using? I currently have 3.0.0.1 installed.

OTA Updates

hello,

im running SPB 1.5 Marshmallow on my Idol 3 5.5 (6045Y Germany).

When i unlocked bootloader i made a backup of my rom by just booting into TWRP and not installing. But i´m not sure if i checked system image and boot or not.

Now i want to sell this phone, what is the safest way to revert back to stock rom and be able to get OTA updates again??

Any help would be highly appriciated.

thanks

I tried the Panasonic program but when it launches and I click download, it says that the device is not connected when I have my phone plugged in and usb debugging enabled
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
you need to go to download mode on device and then connect with usb

Edit:Helped HIM WITH Teamviewer to restore to LOLLIPOP
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] kingoftheafro:
Do you have USB debugging enabled? Also when you first type in cmd prompt type adb devices and a popup should come up on the phone. Make sure to click yes and the box so the phone is always recognized by adb. I forgot about that step on this phone when I first went to root and it was hell figuring it out. If this isn't your issue the only other thing I can think of is you are on mm which you can't unlock boot loader.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Jansonnrolle101:
Much, much, and more thanks to Alek Dev, it worked thanks to your help! :)

This is probably a very stupid question but I could not find the answer by searching posts within this thread, so please excuse me for that. However, will unlocking the bootloader and rooting wipe my phone's memory/data?

Able to unlock bootloader with MM?

So my question is, can you unlock the bootloader with MM because I've been trying to unlock it for about an hour with windows 10 with drivers and linux but with no luck. I do see though that in the Developer Options there is an option to enable the switch OEM unlocking which gives a description of Allow the boot loader to be unlocked.

EDIT: When I try to unlock the bootloader I get the error FAILED (remote:unknown command)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] :
After update to MM bootloader is locked you can't unlock it ..
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] chewyboy0:
Then why is there an option in developer options to be able to unlock bootloader that seems very confusing...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ewokmojo:
No one Alcatel one touch fierce xl 5054N thread has been able to unlock or find the bootloader. Are any of the instructions for the Idol 3 portable to the other device?

Reroot after MM Update

Hey Guys,

So I unrooted my phone in order to do the OTA update and now I cannot root it again and it seems like this has to do with fastboot being unavailable in MM.

I have been reading everything, but cannot figure out if there is a way to currently root the phone with MM.

If not can someone give me a step by step direction(don't need explanations as I understand this stuff, more like a 1. Do this, 2. Do that) in order to get to a place where I can do custom recoveries again. I will likely just go back to CM 12
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
If you were reading this section on xda properly (or be not so lazy to use search) you should allready know:

1-fastboot commands are excluded from 6045I bootloader partition

2-as for 1 there is no way so far to root the device after OTA update (there are allready at least 2 threads about MM OTA and root)

3-as for 1 and 2 there is no way to get the Custom recovery to MM OTA firmware.

You can go back to 5.0.2 by using mobile upgrade Q, root, load custom recovery, and from custom recovery flash a third party MM custom rom from Marionette. Then you will be on MM with root and woth custom recovery.
