I got this rooted on my first try and wanted to first say thanks to those who have worked on this. I just bought the Idol 4 6055u today. The above steps helped so much. I've rooted devices before, usually using adb, but this was strange territory for me. Hopefully this will help someone else:

Before Step One.

Find and download the files necessary, Sugar QCT, Modified TWRP from TheCapesCrew (originally Deckersu), and SuperSu v2.78. The files are available below.

I also played around with Sugar QCT before trying this root. I was completely unfamiliar with it and in the end it paid off. I found out that I needed to do an update to my phone that had not been offered yet OTA. I updated it first, and it downloaded all the stuff I needed into the "bin" folder mentioned in the above steps.

Step 3 +4. On my phone with the updated Sugar QCT, I just plugged it in, Clicked on Upgrade, and it automatically put it in download mode.

Step 5. Prepare for this step in advance, before step 1 if possible. Check the bin folder as explained elsewhere, and rename the TWRP***.img file to match the R*******.mbn file. For me, I renamed recovery-twrp.img to R3CCJ0J0BX00.mbn (yours may be different) and copied and pasted to the "bin" folder. That way I could just keep pasting as necessary during download.

Step 7. At the bottom of Sugar QCT, during the download part, it shows XXX files of XXX written. I watched that closely, and as soon as that was done, I immediately booted into recovery mode (Power + Volume up). Sugar QCT threw an error #40022 and showed failed, however my phone went right into the TWRP boot screen.

Step 10. I think mine actually rebooted at least twice, and using the modified TWRP I mentioned, it said to expect that, just be patient.

I hope that helps, if more clarity is needed or if you have questions please ask, I'll try to answer as best I can.

Here are the files I used:

Okay I've been trying for a few hours to crack this phone, more hours than I care to admit.

I am following all the steps. I am replacing my file in the temporary folder with the TWRP file.

When I copy and paste the TWRP img file into the temporary folder it doens't overwrite the other file, even though they have the same names, because they are different file types.

So I've been deleting the file type and replacing it with the renamed TWRP img file... any advice? I keep bricking my phone =[

Thanks for your time.

Pls link me the right version of twrp

I have searched the internet and cannt find a twrp version 3.0.0 for 6055 pls help!
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] rayrob:
Sorry to take so long, and I hope you got it figured out. If not, I will take a few guesses as to why this isn't working for you.

1. Your using an Alcatel Idol 4 that is not a model number 6055u <- the "u" is very important. Basically its the Cricket Wireless version, but not the Idol 4s.

or

2. I'm assuming you're using windows. If you can't see the file extensions in explorer, you might want to make them visible. The file to rename is described as follows.

The **** should be whatever is in your bin folder, mine just happened to be 3CCJ0J0BX00 (those are zeros btw).

or

3. You really have to use good timing to get the reboot to recovery right. It has to be done before Sugar QCT completes the process. You have to interrupt it but you want the R********.mbn file to be moved to your phone. You have to watch closely and get the timing right.

Without more information about your phone (model number), and what files you are using, I can't speculate on any other reasons you keep bricking your phone.

Here are the files I used: 1drv.ms/f/s!Arbm5An1iD5wjr0eJd3eqCpV3r3tbw <--copy and paste to your browser, sorry

I can't help you there. The version I used was a modified version 3.0.2.0 found in another thread linked in my post above.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Has someone started a Lineage development thread? I own one of these bad boys with a cracked screen which I will replace soon. So far I am working with a friend to distribute a tool that can flash recovery on the 3 major O.S. in one command for all variants (Yes, cricket variant is a bit different). I already have the kernel source and a dump of the system not the latest 2017 security patch but that is fine I need to get something booting first. I'm pretty much familiar with the idol devices already. Also anyone from other idol 4 variants don't worry just like my idol 3 builds these will be universal as possible.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] dbgr:
As far as I know nobody has started doing anything with lineage yet
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
I should have something booting tonight hopefully or the device portion of the tree near complete. I wish there were more people this seems like a small community. What kills me is this customer tag alcatel chose for the kernel. They did the same for the idol 3 when porting it into qualcomm reference kernel. Those customer tags for vendors get left behind the rest of the branches. I'm directly adapting the customer tag to the latest 7.1.2 because O is an entirely different ball game. We will probably already have enough problems with shims and getting radio/audio working in Lineage. Camera no doubt can be shimmed to work with the new api changes in N.

[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] TorqueEffect:
I did exactly this, but while tethering now works, it constantly is giving me the "Unfortunately com.tctApp.serviceEntitlement has stopped."

EDIT: NVM got wireless tethering working 100%, though I didn't have the serviceentitlement.apk in the system/app folder, I only had a systementitlement folder in system/app with the .apk inside that. But once I used Titanium to delete that folder, and after I rebooted the phone, the serviceentitlement.apk appeared in system/app, then after I renamed that to serviceentitlement.oat and rebooted again, no more "has stopped" messages appeared, and wireless tether continued to work uninterrupted.

Just grabbed this phone today and i Am having no luck getting twrp to boot. I used the Modified twrp for the 6055u, renamed it and copied over the stock one in the sugar folder. i tried rebooting a bunch just as it was finishing the whole process, i tried rebooting to recovery as soon as it said downloading the r file and still no go. I'm not understanding how anybody is getting this to work. when exactly do i want to be rebooting to recovery?

using sugar 11.3.0 and my phone is updated to 3CCJUCJ0

Frustrated with 6055U

This basically sums up my issues perfectly.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] rayrob:
Sorry you all are having problems. It really is all about the timing. You have to wait until it finishes downloading, it will go to reboot, but before it does, that's when you manually reboot it with [power] and [vol.up] at the same time. I'm about to flash an update I just received from CCJUCJ0 to CCMUCM1. I'll try to be more exact about the timing if I can.

UPDATE So I attempted to update to the latest OTA CCMUCM1. First of all, Sugar noted that:

I followed through anyway. It took a while, a total of 18 minutes. Watch the bottom of the Sugar program window. It will show "writing xxxxM of 4095M". When it reaches 4095M, your phone will vibrate and attempt to restart. Since I have already done this, I had to use a different key combo to enter Recovery Mode. It booted to TWRP and I flashed SuperSU. No Problems... The timing is easy, when your phone vibrates, press [power] and [vol.up] to boot into TWRP.

I'll retry the update tomorrow and report back.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] Phenomenal_Phenom:
It would be nice to see if the process still works on a 100% stock unrooted device. I also got that update last night. Cricket kept pushing it in my face every 4 hours while I was working.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] :
thank you so much for the response on the timing. i will give it a go and try rooting this bad boy again now that im more confident on the timing and I will report back.

Update 1- 15 minutes for the process to finish, vibrated, i immediatly held vol+ and power at same time. Booted to stock recovery:(

Update 2- I tried just holding vol+ when it vibrated and it only booted once and to stock recovery

Tried again to no avail. Im starting to think the july 2017 update isnt working with this method? we need somebody who has done this and got it working to go back to stock and try it with the july 2017 update. I'm frustrated. I got this phone just because of this xda forum and the fact i saw it could be rooted. does anybody have the older sugar update for the 6055U? im wondering if maybe the july 2017 update changed something stock and that way wont work. I'm lost at this point. tried 5 different times tonight

So when it vibrates, i can see the alcatel logo come up and while i'm holding vol+ and power it reboots a second time, again showing the alcatel log and boots to stock recovery. My question is, do i want it to boot once or twice like it is?

I have a couple of questions. I have never used Sugar before. I am in file: SUGAR QCT_SP_Gotu2/bin/6055U-2ARKUSC. my next folder is labeled 3CCJUCJ0, then a zip folder named y3ccucj0bx10.mbn (with the corresponding file name inside.)

Alcatel idol 4 rooting help please

I tried to find the the right SuperSU sugar and trwp for my Alcatel idol 4 6055U.... Can anyone send me link for all three so I can try my hand at rooting mine
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] dheir:
I have infact got this to work after the july update. Looking at my freshly rooted phone now.

I didn't realize there was even an update for the phone and SUGAR took care of that for me.

The trick was, to wait for the entire flash process to finish. At the very end a popup telling you flashing is done will show, if you waited that long you need to try again.

I kept trying to reset before the flash even finished, tried this for hours, the progress bar will be at or near the end when you need to reboot.

Remember when doing this, there are two stages where SUGAR says downloading. After the first stage, it will upload a 4gb partition to the phone for userspace I assume, after that it will download another file. Right after that is complete, reboot to recovery. Hope that helps.

Once again

[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How I finally got my TWRP to boot, I think, was by doing a factory reset, which I think wipes the phone encryption. To the people who got this working, did TWRP stick for you or do you have to repeat the process every time you want to boot TWRP? I got my TWRP to stick after reboots and power off. I made backups straight away after getting TWRP to boot. My plan is to start working on Bliss rom and CM13 but I'm not sure what all can be done with the locked bootloader. If anyone knows the limitations of custom rom making with a locked bootloader, please enlighten me. I also am able to use my hotspot and USB tether on my unlimited plan without having to modify any files. Simply install titanium backup and delete the app entitlement file. I was also able to edit my build.prop file and disable the stupid cricket boot sound and disabled the USB debugging notify message that wouldn't go away. I now love my Cricket Idol4 6055U.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] rayrob:
Hmmm

I question if I should answer this one or not, because if someone can't read and follow directions exactly, then they will likely brick their phone and possibly try placing blame on other people. I will not take responsibility for anyone bricking or damaging their phone by their own actions or by not following ==exactly== someone else's instructions.

That said. I will answer it like this. All the instructions and files needed, including passwords and usernames, are in and linked to in one of my posts. To open the link, you must copy and paste it to your browser.

I have gotten notifications about a new update for this phone, and I have not had the chance to see if this method will continue to work. If it does, I will post it here.

So I still can't figure out how to root. Tried sugar qct but it's telling me after downloading that fileset is bad and it has to redownload. Any ideas
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Ok, if your sugar qct updated Alcatel knows we've been replacing recovery instead I need you to do this. Make a copy of the B... File that is your boot.img. Now take the idol 4 recovery.img and rename it to the B... File and once the program succeeds at downloading and before it flashes you can go ahead and overwrite the file only in the 6055 folder. The program now checks if recovery has been modified and will refuse to flash it and skip on to the next file. This way we flash recovery to boot and users won't miss their chance to get in recovery before it's patched. Once the program finishes and your device reboots you should be in recovery. I need you to do two more things. Copy the backup B.. File to your internal storage rename it boot.img and copy the TWRP recovery as it's default name as long as it's .img it can be named anything. In TWRP go to install choose "install image" and flash boot.img to boot and recovery.img to recovery then reboot -> recovery. Now that recovery is actually on the recovery partitions we can go ahead and install magisk zip and you're now rooted.

[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] bobtsunam:
Just letting anybody who is wondering if this works on the Cricket variant, the answer is yes. Rename the file ahead of time and as soon as it starts the write process, boot into recovery via the hardware keys (hold vol- & power) if you wait too long it won't work. I just kept spamming Ctrl+v after copying the renamed TWRP image right up until the write process. Took me a few tries but it does work. :highfive:

Relevant info:

*Sugar QCT and other files needed all came from this thread

*Windows 10 x64

* 6055U variant fully updated

Now all I need is a good version lineage for a daily driver and I'll be more than satisfied with this budget phone (even a stock rom that's been stripped will do).:fingers-crossed:

help plz 6055u

hi, i have tried everything suggested in this thread and cant get my 6055u to root. No matter what it always boots to stock recovery mode. I tried replacing the file R at every point i can image and still no luck. Process goes. I run sugar it downloads the files to /bin/downloads then compresses and creates a folder in /bin that i go into and replace the R file. Then i reboot into recovery mode at writing 4095/4095 and no luck. Must have done it 30 times or so with no luck. what could i be missing sugar settings? need to unlock the phone? plz help
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] Unjustified Dev:
Let all files download first. Once they download copy the 6055u folder from bin to your desktop. Once that's done replace the recovery on the desktop. By the time you exit SugarQCT it should have removed the downloaded files already that's why we had to make a copy to desktop. Reboot your PC now all temporary files of the program are cleared. Put the files back inside bin same way you found them and start the program. It should no longer check validity of the files inside and everything will flash correctly. The issue is there was an update that checked if recovery matched the md5sum if not it would skip flashing it. Just make sure to press recovery combo as soon as phone reaches bootlogo if you allow it to reach the animation recovery from boot script will run and patch the recovery back to stock.
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] :
[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION], I found a line of code in the Kernel having to do with re-flashing the stock recovery and I removed that line. I'm under the impression that I was able to remove that from the kernel and now if I have to redo the phone with Sugar not only do I replace the stock recovery with TWRP but I also replace the boot file in sugar with my modified kernel and I don't appear to have the issue anymore where it boots into stock recovery after a fresh flash. It boots to TWRP every time now. Even if i Flash stock and let it fully boot, it still goes right back to TWRP. I think replacing the recovery and kernel during the flashing process will yield a much higher success rate. It originally took me 2 months to get TWRP on my phone using this rooting process. Oddly enough, it wasn't until I started using an older computer that I was finally able to get this process to work.

If a few people would be willing to test this with me, I'd put together a newer root package containing TWRP 3.2.1.0, and Modified boot.img all properly renamed so everyone could just drop those files in their sugar folder and hopefully all will be good. Let me know people
