Welcome EpicFail2017,

Today i checked Magisk on my Archos.. found xposed moduls are working now as well on Nougat SDK 24&25. So no need to stay on marshmallow anymore, only the lockable recovery!-)

edit:

--------------

Now i used TWRP to flash a marshmallow recovery the updated to nougat. Then i flashed only the patched boot image to my device via adb. No data lost.

Flashing boot.img via adb is same command as flash recovery but instead of

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img use fastboot flash boot boot.img

edit:

--------------

attched fastboot flashable patched boot zip.

1. Download zip and save to phone

2. Update to latest firmware (nougat)

3. Power off phone

4. Press and hold volume up while power up phone

5. Select fastboot

6. Install - flash the downloaded patched boot zip

7. Install Magisk manager and v14.2 magisk (or up)

No data lose, no additional pc tools

Excuse maybe additional need of adb or flashfire installed. Flashfire app had shown it works via fastboot.

For recovery it is good to install flashfire (else) and make full backup.

If you come from rooted API23 you can flash a stock recovery via TWRP to get OTA update

If xposed installer is present better uninstall first.

-------------------------------------------------------

Some nougat issues and work around

For me some xposed modul did not work atm some working unoffical versions are avaiable

Alberto96 i am feeling fine here.. in credits to megathebest^^

If you got a request, feel free to ask! Instead of open another thread with a "tutorial" which doesn´t work!

We just get an higher amount of threads related to "our" phone rooting requests / tutorials.

Just link https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74099611&postcount=46 or post #6 from page 1

I´m going to clean it up soon, already spend lot time in adding useful links and updates.

If you discovered something useful why not adding to yourt 1st post?! Do not suggest if you are confused how to... feels like discrediting my work in that thread.

You can hide some pictures to make page 1 scroll better. That would be a great help, my opinion ;o)

Please remove flase tutorial!!!

Thank you!
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
The tutorial is generic for all Mediatek devices, working on all of them, as long as all required files are available (for the Cheetah2 not all files are available, but 1/2 of the tutorial can still be used).

This thread is made for "Information & Reviews", thus "Development & Support" stuff must be posted on the proper thread (don't forget the forum section we are in), so you can now proceed in the proper thread.

If i don't find that a post is clear enough for everyone, or just requires some clean-up before being officially linked, then i don't add it. I'm not discrediting, since your post hasn't been linked neither i gave credits for something to the wrong person.

As soon as you write another post, in the proper thread now, that is more clear, let's say noob-friendly or just less messy, then i will link it. Also, if i see improvements from your side, i may also consider to give you rights to edit the first post directly, since you are the most active user here ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] toBsucht Psp:
Alberto your 50% working generic mtk tutorial leads into semibricks! Guessing you never flashed a rom to this phone, try following:

Alternativ

you can flash EpicFail2017 patched boot.img http://www117.zippyshare.com/v/EiwE8p57/file.html

via adb or other tools

Flashing boot.img via adb is same command as flash recovery but instead of

I used TWRP to flash a marshmallow recovery https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4211559 to updated to nougat. Then i flashed only the patched boot image to my device via adb. No data lost.

To go back to offical firmware maybe use CUBOT CHEETAH 2 STOCK V14 boot.zip

If you want trwp you have to run android 6, at the moment.

Proper requests are welcome
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
I don't know what's wrong with you, but as you can see here, my tutorial works just fine to restore the stock ROM (that's the valid part).

Thus, 1/2 of my tutorial is valid. Only the "Root and install Custom Recovery (TWRP)" paragraph can't be followed because, as already said, there is no proper TWRP available.

This will my last message here, please continue on the Dev. & Support thread. Next posts will be removed directly.

Just one quick question, I'm in a dilemma...

I'm preety familiar with MTK chipsets and flashing, but I need to know this. Planning to root my Cheetah 2 on Nougat using Magisk I patched my boot image, but to flash it via fastboot I need to unlock bootloader so that is a no (don't wanna lose all my data).

So, if I use SP Flashtool to flash the patched boot image is there a possibility to end up in a bootloop, since I didn't unlock bootloader?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

Never mind, tried and succeeded with SP Flashtool, no need to unlock bootloader. I wasn't able to flash boot.img via fastboot, it required unlocked bootloader.

Ok. Thanks for info.

Someone else received international phone call?

Me (v14) and a second user (v02) got calls from USA, Serbia, Kroatia etc. often just a singel call and short ringing times. Irregular about 4 times a year ;)

A while ago i added a second sim to my phone and after a few month SIM2 reveiced such a "spam call" .

Hi,

I'm brand new to this forum and my name is Jessy, and it's my pleasure to be here! :o

I recently bought this AT&T GoPhone (for around $29) at Walmart, and I was following this guide to allow me to use my SD Card as an internal memory storage unit for my phone, but I found out that I need to unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, SuperSU and Link2SD apps to the SD card and my phone. Since this smart phone is similar to the Idol 3, could I use this method to unlock the Bootloader for my phone or do I have to try a different approach? :confused:

I appreciate your time and I look forward to contribute further to these forums! Thanks again! :cowboy:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
I picked one up on Black Friday, and decided to root it. I was only able to install an older version of SuperSU though (v2.46). First I had to install the PC version of KingRoot (It's in Chinese I believe, but middle button is always "next" or "yes"), root the phone, and then replace KingRoot with SuperSU. Took me a few tries.

This is the guide I used from the forum:

SuperSU Me_6.4.apk

KingRootSetup v3.2.0.1129.exe

1. install kingrootsetup on pc(must have internet connection to work)

2. connect ur phone with ADB enabled from developers option

3. root ur phone by following on screen instructions...

4. after rooting,install supersume on phone

5.open the app,click on big blue button and wait...

done,replaced kingroot with supersu..

Hey I used this app to remove king root and my phone bricked do you know how to fix?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
My Alcatel Ideal 4060A froze a few times during the removal of KingRoot, but all I did was: turn off the phone, remove the battery, and finish the procedure once the phone was on. The phone was only $10 on Black Friday, so you could say it was only an experiment on my part. Unless it's a really good phone, where you can go to the manufacture's website and download the original firmware and install it through your PC, there's not much you can do to unbrick a cheap phone that is practically unknown.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shushi_boi:
Thank you Mario for your help! I'm having a little trouble having my phone being recognized by Kingroot, although I have ADB enabled from the developers option, it seems not to pickup my phone still. I'm still trying though and I'll let you know if I get it to work properly, and perhaps document my mistake so others following this post who happen to have the same problem could know what to do.

- Jessy

*UPDATE*

Just wanted to update that I found out what was my mistake, which is a really simple and basic mistake, I apologize!

What I did was that after I had enabled ADB through my phone, it was already connected to my PC right after I had downloaded Kingroot, so my solution here was simple. I turned off my phone first, then I turned it back on while still connected with Kingroot still running then Kingroot finally read my phone and it rooted it as you outlined. Thanks again for your help, it is too valuable for me!

Here's the guide that I'm following so that I could install more apps to the phone through my 64 GB SD card if you guys were interested, to make the phone more useful, and I also installed my obama phone SIM card on it as well (from lifeline wireless, because hey why not? :) )

Here's the link to add more internal memory to this phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merazomo:
No problem. I'm glad you got the phone rooted. I originally picked up the phone to use as an MP3 player, so I removed most of the unnecessary stock apps with "System app remover (ROOT)", but now that I see how good the phone is (at that price), I plan to use it as a backup phone. It even has a notification LED light for unopened messages LOL; anyway, good luck.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwaghani:
Thanks for writing rooting method for Alcatel 4060a Ideal Pop445. Need some help

I've been an iPhone user for many years, I'm almost new to android. I have unlocked the bootloader from the hidden developers options in the settings app. I haven't found any thing useful to root my new Alcatel Ideal 4060a (Pop 445) (at&t unlocked). There are tons of bloatwares and many apps that I can't transfer to sd card. I hope you two can help me out here as I don't want to brick my device.

Question 1: Do jessy did something wrong(regarding your given steps to root) that makes her device rooted OR she has just been lucky? Because someone just posted that he/she has bricked his/her device.

Should I go ahead and try my luck with your method you there would be some advice you would like to give?

Question 2: If I would be able to root this device, would I be able to install Android 6.0 Marshmellow?

I have rooted with Kingroot 5; latest windows version on their website. Now I'm working on replacing it with Supersu or Supersu-me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venryx:
Just a note from another user with an Alcatel Ideal 4060a... (got for $10 from Best Buy on Black Friday)

Don't try using King-O-Root, then proceed to install Super SU from Google Play. It works that first launch, but on rebooting...

It's permanently bricked. And yes, I tried everything, including adb, recovery (doesn't have an option to flash a rom), from-pc flashing (wouldn't connect/wasn't recognized by adb or the other tools), fastboot (wouldn't launch), etc.

I don't know about the alternate Kingroot app, though. That probably works as some people have said it does for this model.

I was stupid and assumed King-O-Root would work as well, since it seems pretty generic and worked for another phone. I've learned my lesson and will now only follow guides for the specific phone model I have.

Why am I even writing this if it's a different rooting app? Cause I spent 6 hours just to end up killing one of my phones, and this is my best attempt at feeling like there was some worth to the waste. (the chance of preventing someone else the misfortunate, and just ranting)

Anyway, I'm going to bed. (So annoying because I only barely was brash enough to go ahead without a phone-specific guide--was on the fence, but landed on the unfortunate side) Argh! Argh! Argh!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Handsome Jack:
Any solution for this? I want to replace King-O-Root with Super SU.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venryx:
None that I know of.

I have another Android phone that I was also trying to get root on, and that one gets it temporarily using King-O-Root as well, but I'm too paranoid to try to make it permanent on that second one. Losing both my Android phones would be too painful.

If anything, I guess try the KingRoot program, from the pc, and then use the "SuperSU Me" app, as the person on the first page of this thread described. That way worked for at least one person apparently. (though the poster just after said it bricked theirs, so beware)

By the way, is your root from King-O-Root temporary (till restart) or permanent? I installed Super SU during the same launch I used King-O-Root, so I never got to see whether King-O-Root itself would have worked as a permanent (though non-ideal) solution. (I know that on my other Android phone it's temporary)

I got this phone on black friday, shortly after I got root with kingroot 5 pc and it was all great, however I got greedy and replaced kingoroot with supersu :silly:. First reboot and it goes into boot loop:(. Now its been sitting in a drawer. I think that purify deleted some app it looks at boot.

It looks like the simplest way to get a restore is 'IF' TCL/Alcatel does an update, someone intercepts the signed zip file, then that zip file could be distributed and used with the stock restore.

I have this same phone. However I was able to successfully and permanently root using KingO App. When I ran the KingO app, I deselected the box that says " to install all recommended apps" so as s not to install their version of Super User. Instead i downloaded and installed Chainfires SuperSu.

I used this method more out of reflex then anything. I have used this method for several devices and have only had problems on one device.

Thank you for the heads up! I had completely forgotten about this phone. I bricked the phone by corrupting various partitions some time ago; I was trying to unlock the bootloader. Thanks to TWRP, I was able to create a backup from my friend's 4060A and restore it onto mine.

I like this phone because it's unlocked. I found out AT&T no longer allows people to unlock pay as you go phones for free. You have to use the phone for a few months first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeonFlux1603:
I realize this thread has been inactive for some time, but I just purchased a few older Alcatel devices, including.an Alcatel STREAK, Alcatel IDEAL, and Alcatel CameoX. The Alcatel IDEAL ships with a fully unlocked bootloader. To enable this feature simply go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE and tap Build No. 7 or 8 times until a toast indicates Developer Options is enabled, wherein you need to tick the OEM unlock option. The bootloader will now be unlocked and custom recovery.can be installed to the /recovery partition by using the Official TWRP App, Flashify, or Rashr. Be sure to back up a stock recovery.img before installing TWRP.

As to carrier unlocking, I have a dump of my phone's /simlock partition, which is configured for full GSM unlock. The simlock.img can be flashed to an AT&T locked device via the Partitions Backup & Restore app (by [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION] via the Play Store), after which the device will be fully GSM unlocked for any.U.S. domestic GSM SIM card.

If anybody needs the simlock.img post in comments and I'll post a download link.

Hi guys

LG G3 looping on boot screen every time,

I had TWRP with fulmics rom installed and one day it just shut down, i tried turning the phone on but it shows the lg booting screen and then reboot, and it goes on like that, I tried installing different roms but always the same problem, i

should mention that i tried cloudy rom and i did actually work but when booting the phone it had this problem that the wifi and bluetooth won't activate, i searched on the Web and a lot suggested that is a battery problem,

so i thought the previous rom worked well so let's change this rom,I installed a lot of roms and the boot looping problem shows up every time, so i thought **** it let's get the stock firmware,

and when resetting the phone to stock firmware it's stuck in the rebooting phase at the end, boot loop again, and now that I've lost TWRP i only have the firmware solution that is not working, this too was mentioned to be a battery problem,

and i bought a new battery and nothing have changed,
