Yep, of course. Here is the "success story", user [MENTION=4042654]sebbync[/MENTION] already was tested this with his 6055P.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
1. It is not in "conceptual test stage", it is working tool.

2. It supports Idol 3 6045. About 6045L - test it and post the report in tool thread.

3. Yes, it works with the device without fastboot, it's a low-level flasher. Read the following topic to learn what is it.

4. There is only one limitation - you can read/write only boot and recovery partitions.

5. Yes, you can make backup of your boot or recovery partition.

6. If you like this tool - you can donate, otherwise - no actions required. I don't promise anything ... i don't know will i return to that project or not.

7. Read first item of this list ... this is not "theory", this is working tool that supports 3 phone models at current release (6039, 6045, 6055).

p.s. You shouldn't ask any questions about Sahara & Firehose Test tool here, better to follow the tool thread and ask them there if have.

[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] :
I've had several people complain about root not working correctly on 6055K and I'm not sure why. Are you using SuperSU 2.82? is SuperSU installing itself in systemless mode or installing itself into system? I tried multiple times installing in system to no avail. It works flawless for me in systemless mode though.

Is of Claro compani rom and this limit al the phone for this i want the root

thankyou
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Perdigon55:
Hello, you can install the recovery and then do root (it does not write the system partition) and make it possible to uninstall the app or use link2sd to put them on the sd. It's easy and if you have any problems and want the original rom, you restore it with sugar QCT selecting the 6055 model.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Hm..:
Hello,

i have a 6055k here.

The 6055K hangs in the bootloop.

The device is in the original state.

Unfortunately, this cannot be flashed.

Because the Alcatel Flasher and Sugar QCT always display the NPRG error.

I've already tried everything with new drivers, usb ports and other usb cables.

Then I tried to flash an update file from the internet via adb sideload, but error 7 occurs here.

I got a complete backup of a 6055P from a helpful juser.

And would try to flash it via fastboot.

In the hope that it will start again.

Are there any other options?

Hello everyone, I was testing LineageOS_pie_idol4 for 6055K on my 6055P at first I had a lot of problems with google services

but after uploading the whole system a few times suddenly the services worked , I tested and it is cool this LineageOS but I had to give up because of the lack of application support I mean the banking application does not like custom roms and does not want to turn on :/.

ps. wifi was disconnecting every 4 minutes or so ... when I buy new another smartphone I will still come back to it :)

[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
If application hangs in some reasons during reading (backup) recovery partition - try to due backup once again, if still no success - try to use other USB-port or other PC.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] AAlphaDev:
I have the same problem on 6055K, looks like backup doesn't work. But write function work fine for me, I have successfully rooted my device.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] tonydd:
Looks like I lost recovery, won't boot into twrp, stock recovery
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
If you still get a stock recovery after TWRP flashing - flash it once again, then you should get a first boot into TWRP (if don't, ie. after flashing TWRP phone boots into Android - TWRP recovery will be replaced by stock recovery, this is standart Android feature, that restores stock recovery from boot) and next in TWRP allow system modifications (do not press at "Keep read only system").

Bootloop after twrp...ugh. First for everything. Any ideas

BtW, I missed where twrp required a password because my phone had one.

READ and pay attention!!!!! Just because I rooted tons of phones I kept my eye off the ball and it took me longer than needed.

Thanks deckersu
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
How should i understand "Bootloop after twrp"? After flashing TWRP, after entering TWRP and reboot, after some actions in TWRP? Restore your device to a factory state with Mobile Upgrade Q application and try again.

p.s. If u are have password protected device (i.e. digital pin or password) to install SuperSU.zip you must input a correct password for data partition decrypt. Also, if u have old version of SuperSU that can't be installed in systemless mode - you are 99.9% able to get a bootloop. For Idol 4 6055 and Android 6.0 SuperSU must be installed only in systemless mode.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] inku:
Idol 4 6055U from Cricket, i followed the instructions installing the Mobile Upgrade Q utility from alcatel, and ran the flash tool but it just hangs. tried all ports, 3 different PCs.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] tonydd:
Read hangs but write was not an issue. So I just wrote the image.

Also I had to hold the volume up button, after download mode, until the LED started flashing white. Otherwise if I just pressed volume up it would just reboot.

Trwp was power + volume up and then release power and only hold volume up when twrp icon.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
Seems that's why you have a problem. Keyword is "from Cricket". Apparently Cricket devices is differs from common 6055, like 6055K or 6055P. Let's wait for another users replies to make any conclusions.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] Brian9285:

HiDeckerSU,

Thanks for your great job.

Do you confirm we can't use your app under virtualized Windows (host is a linux machine) ?

Flat6-44
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
Yes, you are right. You can't use app under any virtual environment, like VMWare, VirtualPC, Virtual Box, etc. To use you'll need a "native Windows PC".
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] xanau:

Does anyone have the original firmware to make a full reinstall?
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:

Hello,

Here is my feedback :

Idol 4 6055K, laptop with WIN 7 Home Premium, Mobile upgrade Q installed.

- Phone found on COM11 : Android HS USB QD loader 9008.

- NPRG : OK

- GET GPT : OK

- "recovery" : checked, path to save recovery image set.

Process hangs, recovery.img file has been partially (!) created ; size is 16 Kb

Any idea ?

For my information, how much time is needed to get the recovery.img (~64Mb) ?

Thanks for your help,

I tried 3 times , every time the same , when I flash twrp and enter in it , allow modification without installing super su i get bootloop??
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
Read FAQ in the first post please:

Q. I have a bootloop after exit from TWRP, what should i do?

A. This is known problem, boot in TWRP and wipe cache and dalvik cache from it. Also, make sure that you used latests SuperSU.zip from chainfire.eu ... Current latest version is a SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] savinjo22:
I'll try , thanks
[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] DeckerSU:
Try to use other PC or other USB controller (for example, USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.0 or vice versa). Reading process should take 30-60 seconds (not more). If u are have problems with reading / make a backup of stock recovery - you can try to flash TWRP and skip this step. In any ways, even if flashing failed by some reasons, stock recovery will be recovered after you boot into a system. Also, you can use Mobile Upgrade Q in every time to restore your device to a factory state.

p.s. 2All: Seems we need some statistics to determine the problem with reading partitions. Small report like below seems to be enought:

1. Phone model (6055K / 6055P / ... )

2. OS (Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10) version ... x86 or x64

3. Name and model of motherboard and USB controller

p.p.s. I was tried my own app on three different PC's and two different phones (6055K and 6039Y). There is no any problem with reading partitions. But according to some user's replies here - problem with reading sometimes appears. Currently there is no idea why it can happens, because of phone, or because of PC hardware configuration. Need more reports (success or fail).

How do you mount system writable? I tried to use AdAway app but always getting the same message that I can't write to system. Creating symlinks in recovery doesn't help either. ln -s /data/hosts /system/etc/hosts gives error that file exists already. rm /system/etc/hosts deleted the file, but symlink creation saying file exists. :eek: bit confused about it. System was mounted r/w btw. Non of my root programs (rom toolbox, c3 toolbox) can't restore backuped system apps.

I don't know what's the problem, AdAway said the hosts file was installed successfully the first time. Then when I tried to update the file it failed, then it said it was success, then failed again... I checked in /system/etc and there was no hosts file in there.

I uninstalled AdAway, and downloaded MoaAB Ad Blocking (from XDA), flashed it in TWRP and this solution worked, now I have a hosts file in /system/etc.

Hey DeckerSU , I very appriciate your work, everything went great and i succesfully rooted my phone so it allows me to use some of the Root-need apps. Great job!

I just have a question for you and all XDA members here. Is there any possibility to do a system root instead of systemless root?

I don't know where exactly is the problem but I can't mount my /system folder as R/W.

The main reason to mount my /system as R/W this is to setup Viper4Android driver which is really enhancing the Audio quality from the phone and it was the main reason why I want to have a root.

Is there anybody who can install the Viper4Android? I tried all the variants on the internet and none of them work.
