[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeGuy2008:
How does one Obtain a Stock unrooted ROM for the Alcatel 4060A that can be flashed with stock android recovery as it was from AT&T on day 1? The reason I ask is because my 4060A will not boot into android at all. I can however get into the stock recovery and I think even download mode. In the end I was hoping to end up with a Rooted and TWRP enabled v5, v6, or v7 android rom.

Also, Is the Ideal 4060A the same as the OneTouch 4060A? The reason I ask is the battery is the only thing that says OneTouch. The model only says 4060A. So im not sure which one I have.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
To answer this question, we know the version of KingRoot5 I linked to works, so if you tried a different version then it may not work, but linked to KingRoot5 does.

Yes but did you check and verify that you are still rooted?

After we run the script on Alcatel Ideal 4060a, we are bombarded with repeated messages:

Unfortunately,

com.kingroot.kinguser has

stopped.

Rebooting gets rid of the message and KingRoot apparently is removed too but it also gets rid of Root, Alcatel Ideal 4060a is NO LONGER ROOTED because we didn't swicth to SuperSU.

So how can we switch to SuperSU after rebooting because we are no longer rooted after we run the script and reboot?

How exactly did you use link2sd, how did you switch to SuperSU to remain rooted after running the script?

Are you sure you are rooted after running the script, did you tun Root Checker to confirm?

By the way, I tried running Super-Sume 6.4 and nothing happened.

It updated itself to Super-Sume 6.7 and I ran it again and nothing happened.

Did you use Super-Sume. What is the download location of Super-Sume?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arolust:
yes i still have root, i used link2sd to do alot after kingroot was removed, also supersu works fine and shows link2sd in its logs, i also use some other apps that use root.

when you have that message popping up, it means the script was partially finished, it just couldnt remove kingroot completely, at this point do not reboot yet, first go to link2sd and remove kingroot, while constantly saying ok to the popup, once kingroot is removed try running supersu again, still without rebooting yet.

EDIT: ran root checker to appease curiosities, says i have root, also... says ease of install rank 457, difficulty easy, and manufacturer ease of root install rank 8.

and yes it says for tcl alcatel_4060a
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgottenhacker:
Hey i have rerun root checker again and it turned out negative...? But I can still run Kingo root and remove system APPS, very interesting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
I feel like I am so very close. *How* in link2sd do you remove KingRoot? What do you tap on inside link2sd to remove KingRooot?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arolust:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I don't have this phone I have a Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL and went through a similar process to root and go from KR to SU. I found that installing SuperSU before running that root.sh works. Also if you want to do it with Super-SUME you need the pro version cause they stopped updating the free version.

This is the one and only Alcatel Ideal 4060a thread.

Your TWRP post is confusing, can TWRP be installed on Alcatel Ideal 4060a? That would be a big deal so linkage please whoever has it.

Maybe you are talking about TWRP on a different phone?

Great. Did you happen to install SupeSu manually at all or use Super-sume at all? Or did you just do the script, then link2sd? That clarification might help people.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zswielder:
I installed supersu from the playstore after rooting with kingroot. Like you suggested, I didn't run it. I didn't bother with super-sume at all. I didn't even download it. I then ran the script and did the link2sd.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
okay.

Thank you for confirming super-sume is absolutely not needed.

Anyone with a new Alcatel Ideal 4060a should try everything you did, except reboot before using link2sd. Maybe KingRoot would be gone like mine was without link2sd but with everything else as posted in the guide.

I don't know if AT&T has an update you can download, try in Settings and see if there are available updates, maybe the update resets all that?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meet2x4:
Thanks c627627. Got it working here as well. I too have the problem with SuperSU not picking up a superuser request but they may just be a service or listener not running in the background with this app until it's launched but it's not a huge deal. Mainly just did this to debloat all the useless AT&T garbage. Here's my experience.

Installed necessary apks(including SuperSU), ran Kingroot, confirmed successful root. Once I ran the script Kingroot was completely uninstalled so no need for link2SD(hence the kingroot has stopped alerts). I also noticed SuperSU was uninstalled and I had to install it again manually as the script didn't reinstall it. I battled through the kingroot stopped alerts and ran SuperSU and updated the binaries, confirmed successful root and rebooted. Good to go. Any new root permissions requires SuperSU to be opened to pickup the request but that's a VERY SMALL price to pay for root IMO.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Very interesting. So this problem is not unique, thanks for confirming.

So yes the way you and I handle it is after an app does not request SuperSU, we manually open SuperSU and somehow it asks then and after we permanently allow it root access in SuperSU - problem solved.

I wonder if we can find out which service or listener is not running...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenium1024:
I've noticed that this phone by default sets all newly installed apps as "restricted", so they can not run in the background. I believe this may be what's preventing it from popping up. Go into Settings -> Apps -> Restricted and uncheck SuperSU. I've done this and on my phone SuperSU pops up and prompts for permission when a new app requests root permissions as it should. I have not ever had to manually start SuperSU, even after a reboot.

Note: This is just a theory. I unrestricted SuperSU as soon as I installed it, and I've already bricked one of these phones (before finding this thread) so I don't really want to mess with it to test/confirm. :)

Thanks for the great rooting instruction btw c627627! As I said , if I had found this thread first... I'd be $40 richer now. :D

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

I have two ideas/theories about why some people are getting this...

(1) Before running the root.sh script included in Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip I took a look at it and noticed a potential bug in the script: Line 17 looks like this:

cat sdcard/mrw/busybox > /system/bin/busybox

It should however look like this (note the extra "/"):

cat /sdcard/mrw/busybox > /system/bin/busybox

It's a subtle difference, but what this means is that if you run the script while your current working directory is set to anything other than the root dir of the phone ("/"), busybox won't get installed. There are many lines further down in the script that rely on busybox, and I think KingRoot installs its own version of busybox (which would likely have a dependency on KingRoot itself), so this could cause problems. I added the missing slash before I ran it, and I didn't get the warnings/popups, and I made sure I ran it from the root directory anyway, so I can't confirm what will happen if someone runs it from a different directory.

(2) I noticed when I ran the script that it failed to uninstall KingRoot. I should have written down the exact error it gave (sorry, it's late :eek:), but it was something like "denied by policy". So as you and others have done, I used link2sd to uninstall it. When I did, I got a similar error (something about not being able to uninstall because of policy), but it gave me a little more info; it told me that it was because KingRoot had been set as an administrator of the phone. Going into Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators and unchecking KingRoot allowed me to get past this and link2sd was then able to uninstall it. It's just a guess, but I suspect if this were done first, before running the root.sh script, the script would be able to uninstall KingRoot and then link2sd would not be needed.

I've already bricked one of these phones though, so I don't dare try to unroot my phone and do it again to test my theories. :D
