Should be able to port but what do you mean the Pixi 4 (6) has MT6582? I thought it was MT6580. You tried to install this ROM? Post a screenshot of the error in TWRP. Press power + volume up.
[Android General] kevios12:
ohyes the 4 6 is mtk 6580 but i think your rom from 4 4 CM13 doenst work on 4 6 really? another drivers??
[Android General] kirito9:
Same chipset, crossport is possible so it will work on both Pixi 4 (5) and (6) versions 3G ONLY! You can attempt to port it.
[Android General] Paxile2k:
Dont think it will work on the pixi4_7. As much as love cm :) which i have on my s3, s5, and hopefully soon my s7e edge once the root is a little more stable
[Android General] kirito9:
Nah, won't work on the Pixi 4 (7), different chipset.
[Android General] kevios12:
i think it doesnt work other screen resoulution etc. :D why is on 4 7 not working?
[Android General] kirito9:
Screen size isn't the problem, the 4 (7) model uses a different chipset than the others.

Yeh, fastboot doesnt work either way

from adb, phone reboots, then reboots again, then boots up into os

from hardware buttons it just reboots normally

can access recovery from vol+/Power but no fastbook from vol-/power
[Android General] mattwhite7102:
I don't wanna go through all that trouble, the person doesn't probably use AFH anymore

Also I came across this russian forum 4pda that has roms made for the 4034 varients of the pixi 4 and they have managed to port miui 8 for the phone and resurrection remix nougat for the phone, I will probably make my own android file host account and upload the roms on my account, I will do it tomorrow because it 11 o clock in the night for me

[Android General] DragonFire1024:
I have the A571VL Net10. I've tried everything to root it from Kingroot to Towelroot. All of them fail. This device does NOT appear to have fastboot at all. All attempts to get to it have failed. However, Using Activity Manager I've found an app/activity that's really surprise and I've never seen it on a device unless it's a custom ROM. The activity is called SecProtect, com.qapp.secprotect and when launched, open SuperUser apps.
[Android General] playa75:
Hello y'all.,i want to share what i discover with my pixi 4 5045t.,thanks to kirito9 for the root and custom rom . At first i success on rooting the device but when flash it with custom rom its baseband is uknown same like everybody else that i noticed on this threads. Frustrated cause already had the rom from here but still had to use the unpractical stock rom provide by alcatel. But 2 days ago when tried to flash it again with cm13 motivated by disappointed with battery waste n slow charging i deleted the nvram folder after i finished flash it with TWRP file manager after it boot its seem it had write the file back and both sim card is detected. Baseband and imei is ok. So for whom that had not found the solution for the baseband unknown try to delete the nvram folder after flash our pixi4 5045 in twrp before first boot. Good day..
[Android General] CVAngelo:
How about RENAME the nvram folder instead of deleting it? It is never a good idea to delete system files in case you might need them later. Better to rename them.
[Android General] playa75:
Yes correct., i would not dare to just delete it like that.,of course i had backup the nvram folder before i proceed to it.,As far i know the nvram folder will not tp make our device to not to boot.,any how I'd did it already and now I'm very grateful it work cause it a lot different when u still using stock rom compare now i used CM13 thanks to kirito9. I can no w playing a battery killer game without exhaust my battery.,but before even i plug in the charger and only browsing internet the battery will go drain quickly. Anyway most important backup ur device before do anything at all.,cheers[emoji41]

So i need help rooting a A570BL (Alcatel Pixi Avion lte), ive tried all the common one click root methods and none of them worked, also i haven't found any ways to get into fastboot (not even adb commands get it to go to fast boot, so im kinda lost on that)

[Android General] CVAngelo:
The absolute worst thing you can do with an Alcatel is flash the wrong preloader! Some Alcatels will even brick if you flash the right preloader. You're never supposed to flash a preloader on ANY device (it's extremely dangerous). Always uncheck the preloader box when you flash.

Having jumped off my soapbox, let me ask you this: is your device even being detected by your computer/laptop? If not, your device is likely hardbricked.

But you suggested your device is possibly softbricked. Thus, I'm assuming your computer detects the device when connected to the USB? If that's the case, try using Alcatel's Mobile S Upgrade to flash your device back to bone stock state.
[Android General] PrzemoKos:
Yes has detect, soft brick

there is hope:)

We have also a dirty cow method that might work on the Alcatel PiXi 4(5) 4060W. Maybe we can swap.. Havent found anything anywhere else.

Right now were having problems changing our context to init to kill selinux and mount rw so we can then install supersu.

[Android General] Drunkpilot:
NET10? Is that a TracFone? If you got it from NET10, Safe Link, TracFone, etc., then that thing is probably as locked up as the Pixi Unite (A466BG) that I have and it won't root or even be network unlocked from a service that you pay. Total bummer, I know. I hate using anything that isn't rooted, hence, the reason I don't use the Unite except for wifi stuff. I'm guessing that's the issue since I'm not familiar with the model.

[Android General] Charles IV:
I see you've had another reply saying your phone may be too locked down to root.

As to people not replying that's probably because people don't know, so they say nothing rather than saying something useless and flooding the thread.

If you've tried tools like framaroot, kingroot, cf-autoroot, and you can't unlock the bootloader, it looks like it's impossible.

I did read a guide that claimed to work 100% of the time that used adb, so if I find that I'll link it.
[Android General] DragonFire1024:
Wasn't aware there was a CF auto root for this device. Even then there's no way to flash it.
[Android General] DragonFire1024:
I bought it as a Net10, but the logos on it and while booting say it's a TracFone. A571VL (I don't have it in front of me). I set it up without a SIM card. I never intended on using it aside from rooting and what not. I bought it as it was laying around the office at my store for a few years.

I can confirm it's vulnerable to dirty cow. I use the cowroot APK, press test perm, all checks out as being 'ok' after mounting/unmounting sd card. When I tap root, I can unmount the card, but when remounting, it stays on 'checking SD card for errors.' The kernel is pre October 2016, so isn't patched.
[Android General] Charles IV:
It's probably not - correction - almost definitely not, but hey, I was just talking about those options.

Here's teh adb method I was talking about, but I don't think adb push works unless to the sd card when not rooted. maybe /data/local/tmp does.

[Android General] s_coy2005:
Has anyone found root on the alcatel dawn?
[Android General] DragonFire1024:
I can push using adb yes. I haven't tried psneuter though. Forgot about that one. But I am able to push files to /data/local/tmp. I know I can because i pushed the files for dirty cow
[Android General] Charles IV:
Have you tried the method I linked then? The first method should probably work for you. If it doesn't you can try the others, and down the bottom there's a method for mtk devices only, so that might work.

I have an Alcatel PIXI 4 5010e model (Brazil) and after flashing a custom rom I can't get my 3G to work, only 2G. Even going back to the stock rom didn't solve it. I'm from Brazil and so is my carrier. I've flashed alot of different roms (stock and custom), but 3G refuses to work.

[Android General] paktam13:
Simcard Not Detect

Is there a way to fix this?.

Right now i change back to old rom..
[Android General] kirito9:
Try any of those methods.

1. Backup your firmware folder from your stock ROM using adb (e.g adb pull /system/etc/firmware firmware). Extract the ROM and replace the contents of the firmware folder in /system/etc with that of the stock ROM files.

2. Make a backup of your nvram partition in SPFT from the stock ROM, switch to the new ROM and flash the backed up nvram.

3. Make a backup of your nvram partition with TWRP and restore it while on the new ROM.
[Android General] kirito9:
Can you boot to recovery mode? If you can, try factory resetting the device. If that doesn't work try using mobile upgrade tool.
[Android General] kirito9:
Go back to stock using the mobile upgrade tool from Alcatel.
[Android General] kirito9:
What guide are you following in terms of rooting with dirty cow?
[Android General] kirito9:
The only way for now might be using the dirtycow exploit. I haven't proof of it actually working on these Alcatel devices though. The other thing to be mindful of is bricking the device while trying to root. Not many persons would want to brick a brand new device.
[Android General] paktam13:
Thanks

Im dont know how to use with adb..

It seem complicated..

Btw i'll try with 3rd method..

Right now im using ctr, to install twrp by using SPFT method, am i right?
[Android General] kirito9:
You can backup the nvram partition with CTR as well. No need to switch to twrp.

[Android General] kirito9:
Boot to twrp, perform a factory reset again and wipe system after doing the factory reset, then install again.
[Android General] kirito9:
Try these steps:

1. Download everything in this folder and copy to your MicroSD.

2. Reboot to recovery, make necessary wipes (optional wiping system) and install the ROM again.

3. After installing the ROM, without booting the phone install the patch.zip file.

4. Allow the ROM to boot up, go through the setup guide, then reboot to recovery.

5. Install SuperSU_PRO_v2.79SR3_patched_Cobra1111[1].zip and reboot.

6. Install the toolhero_216_ru.apk file and open it. Allow root then go to the IMEI tab.

7. Enter the IMEI of your device in both tabs and click on modify. Note, you need an internet connection for this to work!

8. Reboot your device and test.
[Android General] kirito9:
Root should cause your device to become laggy, however reboot to your custom recovery and wipe cache/dalvik and boot to the system again.

Hi there [MENTION=5515628]kirito9[/MENTION]

I was wondering if anyone ever found any way to root the Pixi4 Model 4060W

it's the Qualcomm msm8909 device.

It seems susceptible to dirty-cow and the old L2p Linux socket bug.

but I can't seem to get root via either. the Dirtycow gives a selinux-crippled root shell, in the context of shell, the only other context I've been able to attain is the context of untrusted apps or radio

I've been scouring the net looking for answers and found your thread.

was wondering if anyone else had any luck?

it doesn't go to boot-loader or fastboot mode

any help will be greatly appreciated.

i'm in the mindset that I may try compiling my own exploitable binaries and dirty-cow them into the phone to replace the present bin.s.

but that approach is not practical

Hi guys,

I've been trying to follow the guides here to root my Pixi 4 (5), but I'm a bit stuck at the moment... I'm following the adb route, but it seems it can't find my device. Any ideas on how to proceed? Do I need any drivers maybe? Is there an alternative way to root the phone?

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: Ok, the problem was the drivers. I managed to get everything up and running. But I'm still stuck in the procedure... It seems the TWRP isn't flashing properly. There's no error or anything like that, but when I try to boot into recovery to apply the root patch, it just goes to what looks like the stock recovery. Any ideas?

Why does this have the on screen nav bar when the pixi 4 has hardware buttons?
[Android General] kam187:
So I have 2 4034X-2AOBGB2 models.

The first one, i unlocked the bootloader, flashed 4034-2XALGB1_Original_SPFT_ROM_by_bRkA from the internet, then installed recovery and all is fine.

The second one I did as above, but when I flash any custom recovery it won't boot into recovery. Even fastboot boot <recovery> does the same thing. I wondered if the bootloader was not properly unlocked so I tried to unlock it again. As usual I get a bootloop of it wiping the partitions after doing it, but I still can't flash the recovery.

Any ideas?
[Android General] kam187:
Hmm so this is really strange.

1) I flashed Twrp recovery, it fails to boot into it (it tries then restarts the phone into normal mode)

2) I ran the alcatel upgrade tool to upgrade it. It restore the recovery although it says 4034D instead of 4034X now.

3) I tried to unlock the bootloader - it succeeds, returns to fastboot and is stuck there (as the first phone). I reboot and it boot loops showing android green robot then reboot.

4a) I tried to flash twrp, still same issue won't boot.

4b) I repeated 1 to 3 but this time I tried to fastboot boot the recovery - same issue

4c) I repeated 1, 2, and tried to flash and boot the recovery - same issue.

Any idea what's going on here? I just picked up 2 more phones, and they both do the same thing :/
