Could you please provide links to the software of possible? I've been reading threads allot, any one successfully unlock the boot as of yet? I know we can recover a soft bricked 5054n, the boot lock is what I need to get past... Any help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
What software are you referring to, the Sense 7 port or xposed? As for the bootloader, it's encrypted/hidden and presumably not possible to even find, so unlocking it is impossible for now. But to be honest with you, now when we can flash stock ROM we dare to experiment with things like xposed and we can strip the system down to minimum by deleting unwanted apps. And if you just find your favorite launcher, you have a perfect phone here. No need to unlock the bootloader, except for the missing feature to backup (and flash) ROM.

Which version of Kingroot is safe to use?

Longtime lurker, first time poster!

I am on the MetroPCP version (5054N) and have read here that Kingroot version 4.6.2 has been used to successfully root my device.

However, I have also read that I should use the newest version of Kingroot (currently 4.93.......).

Forgive me if this has been stated already but after reading through 80 pages (and countless pop ups! :( ) all of the numbers and letters and periods have started to run together in my simple musician head. Plus there's no way to get a printable version of the useful context here without printing all of the ads, etc....

So my question is:

SHOULD I ROOT WITH VERSION 4.6.2 OR ANOTHER/NEWER/NEWEST VERSION OF KINGROOT?

An added bonus would be a link to said version! :)

(As I have began to form a distrust with many google links)

Thank you all for the valuable information you have given me over the years in countless phones! (The good ones as well as the ones who made far better bricks than phones! LOL)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodEe23:
ok dude...read carefully

Being is this phone is foreign to us with no optional bootloader unlock and obviously no one interested in it it's far as development purposes no devs yet.. anything you do from this moment on is going to be a Gamble that's the whole purpose of Android.. experimentation, trial and error it's definitely not for scared people...just google"Kingroot/XDA" thats what I did and then as soon as you finish rooting with kingroot get "SuperSU me.apk it will remove kingroot and then install and activate SuperSu.. I have had to recover my phone 4 times now using the provided software for this phone a few pages back... just always remember research device specific searches never ever try to implement something from a different device that's the key to successful Android hacking that is all for now..

Thanks for no help whatsoever. Please re-read my post carefully and you'll discover that I've already done that as well as read this entire thread. Simple question: Should I use Kingroot 4.6.2 (as recommended in this thread) or use the latest version? (as also recommended in this thread)

And unlike you, this phone is my ONLY source for the internet, so I cannot use any software for bricking unless I download it to my computer (which my phone also serves as it's only source for the internet....meaning there is no internet at my home or work or friends that I may use). I have rooted every android I've ever owned (10+) and bricked none. I didn't do that by being "scared" but by being smart and asking for clarification on issues I was unsure of as I am doing here and now.

Save the smart*** remarks for someone who needs it.

Latest king root will work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clark71822:
It doesn't matter which version of kingroot you use, both of them use the same method to root. I used the latest version myself, then used the guide posted earlier in this thread to switch to SuperSU

I didn't see any smart remarks? He was just clear and precise... I would have said the same thing to help... Kingroot will not brick your phone, no matter version... If it doesn't work try another version, simple as that... All this info is in the thread that you claim you've read??? We've shared what versions we used to root, so you're ready to go...

Bootloader first

Okay guys I had a discussion with Binky bear who is a recognized developer at the net Hunter for Android forum and he said that we have to get the bootloader on this thing on lock first and he will help you devise TWRP for our phone but we have to get the bootloader unlocked first how are we going to do that one no one's interested in this phone

Well boys I bought a nexus 5 on eBay today and will have it in less than a week. At least winblow users can unbrick their phones nao. I'll sell my used 5054 for dirt cheap if someone wants one for dev purposes or whatever. Message me if interested.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Almost all of this thread is filled with that discussion and if you dig through it you will find out that this bootloader is not only locked, it's hidden/encrypted, so there's nothing we can do about that. But we have root, we have a flash tool for stock rom , so we can experiment quite a bit anyway. I mean, xposed works :)

It's a darn good phone still if the bootloader is out of reach...

Another thought, is it possible that those stock rooms we now can flash, are more stable? I mean, what I do now wasn't possible before without softbrick?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodEe23:
Download an app that mounts your system read write make sure your SuperSU was updated make sure you have an updated BusyBox installed take care of all these little details but first thing you do with the flash fire is before you flash anything choose the everoot option and disable Setup Wizard and inject SuperSU flash that let it reboot normally I think has something to do wi although I have hard bricked it 4 times now but it's this is the lobgest run yet. I have SuperSU version 274 install Xposed Framework Kali Linux nethunter except for our bootloader is locked so you can't patch the kernel boot image for USB Wi-Fi dongle support I've spoken to Binky bear as I mentioned before at the Kali Lin he said that if we come up with a way to unlock my bootloader Hill right at twWR P4 are phone also to download terminal emulator and run his root and set your SE Linux to permissive with command =setenforce 0

We've tried all the possible ways to get the bootloader unlocked already. But as we've mentioned over and over again, the fastboot/bootloader is hidden/encrypted on this handset, so it won't work with any traditional methods...

Unlocking what?

I assume you're talking about unlocking the carrier/sim, not the bootloader. This bootloader is not available for unlocking (yet)...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] void513:
No the boot loader maybe a alcatel app that unlocks the boot loader or put in right mode to unlock it third party app that might put in right mode to unlock it just listing possibility. Or might give someone an idea. key could be in carrier as how they Change boot animation might need be able to unlock the boot loader to make the changes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyttliv7:
Don't think so...

If I remember right, someone has already been in contact with alcatel and got confirmation that the bootloader is hidden and no plans to change this. It's probably part of qualcomms new security thinking with all pay funktions and so on...

just rooted- problem...

Rooted the other day, phone gets stuck on

opening metropcs animation. I hold powerkey

twice and reboot into "app optimization" (safe

mode?) It takes awhile.

Is this the "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" file that I didnt

give root access to? Should system files be given

root access?

Or, Is this maybe a conflict between kingroot (4.8.5)

and the SuperSU withou binary I have installed?

Will the "supersume" package work? It costs some

thing like 4 dollars. I have reservations on using

something pronounced "super sue me". (I posted all

this before ten minutes ago, didnt seem to work-

Not sure what the bootanimation.conf file does, all it has in it is the number 10 (animation speed maybe?). Might be a good idea to leave that file as it is. Just renaming the custom boot ani to bootanimation.zip should be sufficient. If it doesn't work chances are the desc.txt file in the zip could be setup incorrectly.

A thought I had earlier...has anyone attempted to wipe (or zero out) the boot partition to try to force the phone to boot into the bootloader? I remember there were some older devices you had to do that with in order to access fastboot, so kinda wondering if it's still possible with these newer devices.
