Rooting Guide​

OVERVIEW:

This guide outlines simplified instructions for rooting the Assurance Wireless Moxee MH-T6000 4G-LTE smartphone. To cater this guide to new and inexperienced members, I have provided a stock boot image pre-patched with the Magisk v26.1 systemless root solution.

PREREQUISITES:

First and foremost, you need an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is not yet unlocked, complete that task and then return here. XDA hosts a plethora of how-to guides on standard bootloader unlocking. You will also need a Windows PC or laptop running the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tools (link provided below). It should be noted that this guide can be carried out on a Mac or Linux computer as well; however, for purposes of this guide, I am focusing solely on a Windows setup. It is highly recommended that your device be running firmware build number MH-T6000V1.0.OB011, with the June 5, 2023 security patch level. As OTA updates are rolled out for this device, I will try to keep this guide updated with a patched boot image that corresponds with the latest firmware build.

Finally, you will need the factory supplied, or a quality equivalent USB-A to USB-C charging/syncing cable.

DISCLAIMER:

By proceeding further, you are assuming sole responsibility for the integrity and operability of your smartphone. Rooting your device is a task that carries with it the inherent risk of bricking or otherwise rendering your phone inoperable. While this guide has been thoroughly tested on my own device, you have been warned. Proceed at your own risk.

INSTRUCTIONS:​

Download the ADB & Fastboot tools from the link below and install the program on your PC or laptop;​

Open your Windows File Explorer, navigate to your C: drive, Program Files x86, and locate the Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder. Copy this folder and paste it to your desktop. (This step is not required, but is recommended for easier access of the ADB & Fastboot path);​

Download the patched boot image from the below link and save the image in your ADB & Fastboot folder. Note: the filename for the patched boot image is patched_boot.img. The flashing commands assume that you leave the filename unchanged;​

Boot your phone into fastboot mode by first powering your device off, and then holding the power and volume down keys simultaneously until fastboot mode appears on your device display;​

Connect your smartphone to your Windows computer using the factory supplied or a quality equivalent USB-A to USB-C charging/syncing cable;​

Open your ADB & Fastboot folder and double click cmd-here.exe to open a command window. Execute this command to verify a proper fastboot connection:

fastboot devices

If properly connected, the command window will return an alphanumeric string consistent with your device serial number;​

Once a proper connection has been verified, execute this command:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

Now execute:

fastboot reboot

Upon reboot, open your app drawer and tap on the Magisk app or its placeholder stub. Ensure you are connected to the internet, grant any permissions, and follow any prompts given by Magisk to update to the full version in order to complete the root environment setup. Magisk may reboot your device during this process.​

That's it. You're now rooted via the Magisk v26.1 systemless root solution.​

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In the unfortunate event that you get stuck in a boot loop or brick your device using this guide, my guide on unbricking this smartphone will get you back up and running fairly quickly. This guide can be used to restore both soft bricked and hard bricked devices. You can then return here and give rooting another go.
