It work on 6045k or not? Thank you for the tutorial

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

Another question we will have problems with a next update?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] deepasadish:
during the root process, does it really "flash" a boot.img?

from the batch file, it appears we are booting a boot.img, from which we [presumably] push supersu to the system. thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
my mistake, of course it only boot to the boot.img
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
I get device not found on adb and the drivers url isn't working i used the phone usb cd... Drivers
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
you have to install the drivers from the phone mounted as Cd and then enable the usb debugging...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
I clicked sevenntimes in debugging mode, I installed thebphone as drivers cd (on pc clicked onbsetup, install) then disconnected and connect again, open prompt in idol3_6045_root folder (shift right click...) wrote adb reboot bootloader. Then appeared not running daemon. Starting it now on pprt 5037 daemon started successfully error:device not found

But the dispositive is connected and can access the files etc... I tried in two diffdifferent pc's. Tank you for your help
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
you have enable usb debbuging in developer settings, then you have to switch the connect mode feom cd to PTP
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
Error: device not found :(

I think the drivers are not installed because when e conect in mtp or ptp it install the drivers again so i unistall the drivers and connect on cd again and install the drivers then i change to mtp and the pc install the drivers automatically if i change to ptp the same thing happens :(
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
reboot computer
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
Iagain the same error :'( i don't know what is going on.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
for me worked to download pdanet software, or try to google adb drivers... will make research when i am at home, now i am drinking beer...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] RodrigoIsaac:
Ok, tank you so much, i will really happy when it's possible to use root apps, sorry my bad english ehehe

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rhcohen:
%frankee207, there is at least one error in your backup script: you create a directory "mybackup" but then you try to write to a directory "mybckup". You will need to change one name or the other.

I will try a corrected version later today on my Mac (in general most stuff for linux should also work on Mac, though you don't need to run as root on the mac to run adb, so "sudo adb" can be replaced by "adb".)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
+1 for using netcat. I hadn't thought about this possibility. Hint: use bs=2048 or bs=4096 or directly cat, the copying should be faster than the plain use of dd.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] guiniol:
I never know which bs to put, which is why I haven't been putting any lately. I haven't seen much difference. If you know of a good value I can change the script again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] guiniol:
Thanks for the benchmarks. 16384 it is then. I'll update the script as soon as I get behind a computer.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] guiniol:
Here is the last version
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bostrot:
I have an error if I type in any adb command:

Do you know why?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
This is a fastboot command, but probably we know ... Your device doesn't recognize the command. Do the boot and flash commands give you the same ? If yes, you have a 6045 device with a firmware from which all fastboot commands are removed. Please share the firmware version and the model of the device in order [MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] or/and [MENTION=320962]famewolf[/MENTION] to include the info in their threads.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bostrot:
My model number: 6039Y

Kernel version: 3.10.49

Build number: 01005

Do you need more?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
as i know 6039y firmware 01005 doesn't include fastboot commands in aboot partition, so you are left without it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] petrov.0:
No this is enough. [MENTION=4487227]DallasCZ[/MENTION] already gave you the explanation. I still have one question though. Why is this in the thread for 6045 ?!?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Bostrot:
Thats a good question. I didnt look at the numbers in Front of the thread...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
that's the point there is 6039 a d 6045 device which they has to have their own threads
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DarkZell666:
Removed my Off-Topic reply about 6039Y. I'll open another thread.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DarkZell666:
Actually (this question is model-independent), would reflashing an aboot image from a pre 01005 FW version reenable fastboot commands ?

Does this theoretically work, and as anyone actually tried it ? If so, I'll provide mine in another thread (raw partition dump from 6039Y at FW 01002).

Some guy has had his phone come back from servicing with FW 01005 AND fastboot commands working, so I guess there is hope !
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
the guy had a 6045Y and yes the 6045Y 01005 and 01006 have fastboot enabled.

how you would flash aboot image when fastboot commnads are missing? you have to remove aboot image and modify the update script from the FW, but then you cannot flash it with stock recovery, because it will be not signed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Miguel.Raizen:
Could someone reupload the 'root.zip' file. The link in OP's post is dead.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
since we have TWRP, this root method is unnecessary.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Step1Mark:
My install isn't going well. I have an Idol 3 (6045L) but my fastboot commands are not working. The ADB commands go through fine. I entered the command "adb reboot-bootloader", it reboots the the bootloader (logo screen) just fine. But fastboot commands won't work. In Windows Device Manager it gets renamed to "Android Bootloader Interface". I installed the drivers for the phone from the CD partition. When I run the fastboot devices command, there are no deivces.

Am I using the wrong fastboot driver? I really want to install TWRP but I am stuck at the fastboot stage.

I don't know if anybody has already said it but this DOES work on the cricket wireless Idol 3,
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] fubugang:
was wondering what is the cricket variants model number
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] willcaff:
6045O
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:
So the cricket idol runs at 1.7ghz?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] willcaff:
according to the alcatel web site its a 1.5Ghz snapdragon 615

(*edit*- Cricket does list it @ 1.7Ghz)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] techware7:
Yes, cricket has it as 1.7ghz. Do you own a cricket Alcatel? if so, can you tell us if it does run at 1.7Ghz? Or anyone?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] willcaff:
Yes i have one and just going by a cpu control app the max frequency is 1.498Ghz
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Tsjarliefoks:
I bought this phone 2 days ago and like to root it like i did with my other phones. Due to warranty void:

In post #26 i read that it is possible to unroot it again with the menu in Superuser.

But is it possible as well, before rooting the phone, to make a total image of the stock rom of the phone and to flash that back if necessary?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
unlock your bootloader, then you can boot to custom recovery (look to right thread i dont know if oyu have 6045 or 6039 version). In custom recovery you can make full image backup and also flash supersu.zip. Full unroot via supersu inapp is working well.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Tsjarliefoks:
Thank you, DallasCZ. I've the 6045Y. Okay, i gonna read it all over before i will start with any software changes on my new phone. I really want to be sure that i can use the warranty period in the case i will have hardware

problems for example. Additional question:

Sometimes i read that certain manufacturers hace build in codes in their phones, so that they can see the phone has been rooted. Kind of 'spy'. Do you know if that is the case with my 6045Y?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
read the thread first post about how to make a full backup using adb commands, then how to boot (not flash) custom recovery (look into the 6045 twrp thread).

If you will be rooted, the update úprocess will not go on, so before every update you have to unroot (not only disable root but full unroot your device).

unlock command doesn't work

Hi,

oem unlock doesn't work for me ): Any idea ?

$ sudo fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock

...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.004s

ps: fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info also doesn't work ):
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
if you are on 01005 firmware on 6039 then you have disablet fastboot commands... first try to search and then ask. and if you ask tell the device/firmware... info.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] iamslyper:
Thanks. yes my firmware is 6039Y. I couldn't guess that... (I already spend 3h searching so..)

how to unlock bootloader on Alcatel One Touch pop3 ?

hello sir, do you know an instruction on how to unlock bootloader on Alcatel One Touch pop3? and also the instructions on how to root it. thank you. hope to hear from you soon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] oscar786:
I have weird problem, I have Cricket wireless Idol 3, firmware 5.0.0-01003, model number 6045O, I installed drivers, when I sent this command,

adb reboot-bootloader

My phone reboots and stuck on "Alcatel" screen and nothing happens, it does not boot into bootloader, I have to press and hold power button to restart phone, Please help.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
the screen that shows up after the coomand is the bootloader mode :D
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rlugo29:
When I type fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info into the command it tells me it's waiting for the device but nothing ever happens after that and It wont let me type further commands. I have the 6045O from Cricket. After reading other posts I think something is wrong starting at the first command adb reboot-bootloader as my phone is not rebooting and the command box reads device not found.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] illek46:
I have the same problem. I suspect fastboot has been disabled on the Cricket model. Typical AT&T nonsense.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rlugo29:
Hopefully someone's gotta fix
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
i think if no fastboot commands were present then it would bot write waiting for device.

But when you are right there is thread for 6039 which has also fastboot commands disabled.Look there.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rlugo29:
I'm not sure if I missed this in the instructions, but I got the commands to work by going into the developer settings on my 6045O with Cricket and turning on the USB Debugging setting. Worked like a charm and my bootloader is now unlocked.

Now I'm stuck on the second step:

ROOT USING CUSTOM RECOVERY:

as we have now the custom recovery (TWRP)

-So download supersu.zip from HERE

-Put it on your SD card (or internal memory)

-Flash (or just boot) the custom recovery and in recovery install the superSU.zip

-Reboot

I've downloaded the the superSU.zip to my SDcard but I'm not sure what the OP means by "flash (or just boot) the custom recovery and in recovery install the superSU.zip".

Can someone please explain this?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rlugo29:
Never mind my last post. I figured it out and have successfully unlocked the bootloader, made a raw system image backup of my 6045O from Cricket, and achieved ROOT. :D:D:D

LMK if you need a copy of the backup.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] adeptustech:
Ditto ???
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] rlugo29:
That's awesome. Glad to here.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] MyNameIsJace:
same problem

I'm currently having the same problem, only the reboot and boot work for me. Has anyone found a solution?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
what problem exactly do you have? And why someone uses this root method when we have custom recovery?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] qwe109238:
All wrong instruction. It does NOT work. For 6039 it says "unknown command". May be you used some unofficial early version. Just buy this phone now and see - your instructions do NOT work. It seems there is no rooting for Idol 3 at all. It is pity that you do NOT understand or do NOT know this and provide such a WRONG info on this thread.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
because you cannot read.. this is for 6045 idol3 not 6039 and if you are on latest firmware that means you dont have fastboot commands enabled, so first read and then complain. Anyway why would someone use this type of root if we have custom recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] FamousACE:
I am still having trouble with rooting my Cricket variant. I am currently running firmware version 5.0.2-010 03. I think because I updated the firmware I lost fastboot commands, I have looked where you told me but didnt find anything. Please somebody help!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] CornelisJ:
For instructions on how to get fastboot commands working on Idol 3 6039 model look in this thread. Once fastboot is working you can boot into TWRP recovery as explained here. When booted in TWRP you can install the supersu.zip and your 6039 is rooted.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JupoozunEd3:
[MENTION=2106386]Webgaffeur[/MENTION] were you able to solve the issue?

I am now getting the same errors, and unable to flash any zips from the twrp recovery
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
so you try to install 32bit version supersu? what does this have something to do with pre twrp root method?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JupoozunEd3:
It is exactly the same version that was working before on the same phone, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

I did not see multiple downloads for the supersu. If you unzip the supersu file, there are multiple versions for all architectures, I do not think that's the issue.

Found another reference to the same issue: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64607564&postcount=145

Brick -> Mobile Upgrade Q -> TWRP restore backup -> inability to flash zips
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
anywai it still doesnt have nothing to do with this thread.

for me its workig good. I made on my 6045Y 3times mobile upgrade q trestore, dozen times twrp restore and backup and maybe 50times i flashed some zips and roms from TWRP recovery (i use always the unjustified dev version). And of course i use supersu 2.52
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] JupoozunEd3:
Can you please post a link to the twrp version that you use? Is that the one, on your gdrive: https://drive.google.com/folderview...&usp=sharing&tid=0B1T7tp6tJ_3kX3p6SUxWb2NfWTQ

Ok. Found it. That's the same version of twrp I've got, twrp-2.8.7.0-idol3.img

Found the Beta SuperSU 2.52

btw, did Mobile Upgrade Q and twrp recovery now, but ONLY for the /data partition. All good now.

Before, I restored all partitions in twrp, system, system image, efs, data. Which seems to break the /system and also my IMEI was blank after that, and SIM was not recognized. After, restoring only /data, all is good now.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
of yourse it will brek the data.. you have to restore only system, efs, data. NOT THE SYSTEM IMAGE. I really dont know what the "system image" backup/restore stand for and i dont use it. so thats the problem.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] CornelisJ:
As far as I understand and in my own words the following is the difference between TWRP "System Image" and "System" backup:

- A "System Image" backup is a 1:1 binary copy of the /system partition on the phone, including empty space. After restore the physical addresses of all files inside the system partition will be the same as before the backup. If you make a backup of the Stock Firmware to be able to do an OTA (over the air) firmware update you should use "system image" backup.

- A "System" backup is a copy of all the files in the /system partition on the phone, excluding empty space. After restore the physical addresses of the files inside the system partition can be different than the original addresses. When you make a backup of a customized (rooted) system partition, using "system" backup is fine. The size of the backup will be smaller than a "system image" backup since no empty space is included.

It makes no sense in my opinion to make a "system" and a "system image" backup. You should select one of the two.

If anyone thinks that my understanding is wrong please let me know.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
it make sense. but restoring system only also works whe it comes to ota updates, so i personally think "system image" is useless on our device.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] CornelisJ:
In post #2 of thread [6045] If you want to be able to install OTA updates after root READ THIS!, user framewolf says:

So it is suggested that a TWRP "system image" backup must be made of the original stock firmware to enable ota updates. But in the PS dated 20150810 framewolf says "Turns out all thats required to get updates at least for now is doing a FULL unroot", which suggests that a normal "system" backup of the stock firmware is good enough.

I suppose that you (DallasCZ) are right, and that it is indeed not really needed to do a "system image" backup. If framewolf happens to read this he may give his comment.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] VollNoob:
I am not able to achieve root. I tried both methods: via recovery or with the .bat file, but both did not work for me.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
and what do you want to say with this absolutely useless post?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] VollNoob:
Wow seriously, you are rude!

I just wanted some help and I'm totally clueless as to what I could have done wrong...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
rude? If you want hel you have to say what model do you have, what firmware, if you have drivers installed, if you have neabled usb debbuging on the phone and then autorized it on first connect to Pc, if you have bootloader unlocked, what exactly have you done step by step...

How do you expect someone should help you if you post "for me it doesnt work"? Have you used search button?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] VollNoob:
I'm sorry... you're right. I guess I was a bit frustrated, when I read your answer... I'm honestly sorry. And I totally appreciate your work, I don't want to be unthankful.

So, I have the model 6045K, the bootloader is unlocked, I used the twrp recovery by UnjustifiedDev, the drivers were installed before and I have usb debugging enabled but it didn't ask for authorization.

I tried to flash the zip file from recovery and it went well through the installation process, but my phone was still not rooted. Afterwards I tried running the .bat file and it also went smooth and without any error message. But again, the phone was not rooted.

I used search, but it looked like most people that did not achieve root, were using the 6039 model. So that wasn't my case anyway.

Many thanks in advance and sorry again.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
ok so, you can boot into twrp recovery. So you have the first steps done (unlocked, bootloader, enabled usb debbuging). Now chcek in twrp if system is mounted as read-write and not read-only (in twrp under "mount" uncheck "mount system partition read-only").

Normally when you first boot into twrp it should ask you if you want to mount system as read only and you should hit "no". And if you hit reboot and TWRP tells you that it looks that you dont have root and offers you to root the system by TWRP hit always "no".
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] VollNoob:
Ok, "mount system partition read-only" is not checked.

But when I boot to recovery, I realize that but "Data" and "Cache" are checked but "System" is not checked. I then check "System" and reboot recovery, but then it is unchecked again.

Does this mean anything?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
What supersu do you flash 2.46 or 2.52?

try to ask in 6045* TWRP 2.8.7.0 thread . I think similar problem was there talked about.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] VollNoob:
I tried both versions, did not make a difference.

Ok thanks, I will have a look there
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] AndrewKM210:
Okay I'm going slightly crazy since I've done all of this before on my Nexus 5. All of my drivers are installed (ADB and the Idol 3 drivers) and up to date and I have debugging enabled. When my phone is on and on sideload, adb recognizes my device (with the "adb devices" command). However when I'm in the stock recovery mode, it doesn't detect it, only when on sideload. Am I doing something wrong?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
to use fastboot commands on idol3 6045 you have to be in bootloader mode or in a running system.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] AndrewKM210:
But in bootloader mode my phone isn't recognized by ADB, don't know if i'm making an sense, my English isn't that good. I appreciate your help :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
do you have 6045 version? what region and what firmware? and after turning usb debbuging on, and connect running phone to computer have you confirmed the debuging on your phone on a popup window?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] AndrewKM210:
Yeah sorry I didnt mention it, I have the 6045Y version and the firmware version is 5.0.2-010 08. Yes it does pop up and as I say, ADB recognizes it when my phone is on and on sideload, but not in the recovery mode, and thats where I need for it to be recognized to flash custom recovery and unlock bootloader no?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
no, you have to reboot to bootloader. and from bootloader you have to flash the recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] AndrewKM210:
Ah...I'm getting my words mixed up, what I mean is my phone isnt recognized in bootloader, so I cant flash recovery.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] anarchyken:
uhhh... first time for me trying anything like this on y phone and i'm stuck with the "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" giving me "unknown command"... Same for "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock"... What could be wrong ? I need help on this, please :D
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
and you go to bootloader from running phone by typing from cmd "adb reboot bootloader"?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] AndrewKM210:
It gets stuck on the black ALCATEL onetouch screen :S
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
this should be the bootloader mode, have you tried to run the fastboot commands from there?

when you boot into twrp you have to enable to write to system. its somewhere in advanced settings or mount settings in twrp.
