root with King userdownload it from here on XDA.then download SuperSU me the free version.it automatically removes all files even those hidden...and automatically installs SuperSU. then go to Google Play and install Flash Fire by Chainfire and flash something small like viper4android,the "LolliViper.zip"in the actions part of flash fire choose to install zip file,choose LolliViper.zip in the actions sectiin of flashfire choose the everroot option,Mount system read write, disable Setup Wizard..then flash onesie reboots you have a solid and SuperSU INSTALL.. I personally am running Xposed Framework nethunter - the boot image patch because our bootloader is locked of course. my phone is running solid , ive bricked it 6 or 7 times...and I have recovered it every time with me programs from this forum rooting is very simple. I found something on Android forumsa super simple command that disables system write protection for good... try it out it really works

download terminal emulator from Google Play Grant Superuser permissions as follows:

su

"reboot diseemcrp"

Once u reboot open up the terminal emulator again and type:

su

mount

and you'll notice everything listed as an RW for read right next to it meaning the command worked that is all for now folks

Hey guys been lurking around this thread and have looked at every reply in depth and have since rooted both my galaxy s5 and now this fierce xl. I have no use for the s5 as it is blacklisted ( I suppose I can go to other networks but not metro ) so I purchased this phone and learned all about rooting recoveries etc. I have twrp on my s5 and all is good on that phone. however I see no one has developed a way to get to bootloader? is there any more progress on this phone or is having xposed and rooting basically an end? just want to make this phone a beast..which apparently after all the tweaks is a pretty good little handset

So... I'm 35 and since I was 12 I have been totally fascinated by the electronics world. Started with computers getting my first real job at 12 years old repairing software and hardware issues for a local shop, and had evolved over the past 5 or 6 years into an android obsession. On top of that I hate.. absolutely despise being told that something isn't possible. Coming from an LG G3 this phone isn't that spectacular but it is a pretty decent device... Good enough to keep for awhile especially since I have a baby due in 3 weeks. So with that said I am officially dedicating my energy into getting to the bootloader of this thing. Its there and is possible just a matter of getting to it. I have spoken to a couple devs who are big on the G3 forums and I have their assistance. I just used a throw away phone to port to metro so I got two 5054's for 9.99 each. Going to send both to the devs who WILL figure this out I'm sure. In the meantime I will continue to hack away at this beast in hopes of making progress. If anyone has any theories please please pm me. Lets get this done! Happy and safe 4th to all.

I have my 5054n tweaked up and I assure you I will pop MM on here the second it is possible. Xposed is 6.0 comparable and 6.0 has many features such as permission settings that make it well worth it. Kingroot should still be able to take care of things on MM.

I have read the NV settings for the LTE bands - my 5054N had enabled only the LTE 2, 4, and 12 (that's all the LTE bands T-Mobile has). That is not what FCC registration for this device shows (2, 4, 5, 12, 17). In order to work well on AT&T (Cricket) it needs bands 2, 4, 5, 17. I decided to try my luck in changing the LTE bands (per this post). On some phones the settings don't remain after reboot (hence the need of a patched system file).

Well... I added the bands 5 and 17 on my 5054N and the settings remained saved after reboot.

I don't have a readily way to verify the actual functionality (I need a Cricket SIM and to drive somewhere where only band 5 is avail - rural areas). Band 17 was not really needed since AT&T turned on compatibility with devices band 12 (and actually sells devices with band 12). BTW my 5054 is SIM-unlocked too.

I think this is a neat and cheap phone.

I did this with the xposed v79 file this morning and am now for the first time seeing the phone still works - now that the sky has just grown dark where I am. It went through a bootloop for awhile. The phone booted into messages that

"android.process.acore has stopped " and showed itself on the screen every three seconds- no lie. Now I see the launcher and allowed me to type. Then when the phone rang ten minutes ago, the phone rebooted ? Weird.

The message isnt showing any more. The white charging light flashes every eight seconds with alot of battery charge.

I really want to be cautious for now. I really want a removable battery.

I flashed with flashfire as suggested in the link.. I had tried flashify a number of times with installation failure messages. The flashfire apparently installed the xposed though with issues...
