So I had a lg g Stylo and it got broken over the weekend so I had to do a quick buy and didn't have a lot of cash. Walmart had a couple unlocked phones within my price range and without being able to do much research I picked up a Alcatel one touch allura I believe it's called......well I can't find hardly anything on this phone. When you google it the fierce and fierce xl pop up. I downloaded the XDA app for easier responses and it has the device recognition and when it does its thing it's showing up as the idol 3 but the only 2 Alcatel phones on it are the idol 3 and 4. Now to the reason I'm here. I would like to root this phone which I've done and then when I start looking into Roms I can't find any which I find a little hard to believe because for the $90 I paid for this phone I'm a little upset I didn't buy this or one similar 7-8 months ago when i paid over $100 for my lg so am I able to use the idol 3 Roms? Or the fierce? Without running into problems? Also this would be my first experience with the whole rooting an Android any help will be greatly appreciated
PS. I'm not sure if it's 50560 or 5056o.

Stock firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-alcatel-one-touch-fierce-xl-5054-t3385169
Once you get root on this phone (using KingRoot) it is important to immediately download and install Super-Sume Pro from the play store, then you can get the damn KingRoot spyware off of the phone!

Me, too. If anyone downloaded and hung onto a copy of any of the ROMs listed in the linked thread (I'm really looking for the 5056O for myself, but hope to include all of the Alcatel ROMs in that shared space), please PM me for an upload link.
My 5056O is in soft brick, please it is necessary to get the factory rom to be able to fix it since I try to connect it by adb to install a backup that I have in my pc but it tells me that my computer is not authorized and I can not access the recovery. :crying:
A quick bump to remind folks we're still looking for this ROM...
Hi everyone I've been trying to check out some Samsung Galaxy Centura ROMs and I know there are some cool ones on Android Area 51 but this whole week it the site seems to have been down. Does anyone know whats going one?
Same story here. Been trying to get on since December. I've been looking for that ARC1.3.zip - if anyone has it I'd appreciate it. That's all I need.
edit: I just got it through a direct link in the Idiot's Guide to rooting centura PDF
So...does anyone actually know what has become of Androidarea51 ??
I've been trying to access that site for some time now and it always fails to load.
Not sure what happened at AA51. They are the reason I got into Android and modding. They covered a lot of the lower-end devices.
In any event, if anyone needs files for the devices I worked on or kept for one reason or another I have files for Lg Optimus Fuel L34C, Lg Optimus Q/Net, ZTE Roamer/Merrit, Samsung Galaxy Proclaim/Illusion, Samsung Galaxy Core Prime/Prevail LTE, and I may still have some files for ST Galaxy S3. (which uses Verizon ROMs and recoveries)
Hit me up if you need anything for these devices.

Thanks for replying RealWelder.
For me AA51 -and- the LG L34C together were what made for a great turning point in my own Android adventures.
I needed a decent low-end device for wifi uses only - and the L34C went on sales for $5 & $10 & I was lucky enough to grab a couple.
If I'd known how good those little phones really were, I'd have gotten 1/2 dozen of them while they were so cheap & still wish I could find a few more to buy cheaply someplace, really !!
Best Wishes.

I still have a fuel, but my daughter plays her games on it. Lol. If you are interested in modding your fuels out I got some cool stuff I could share. I've been modding my Tab3, I've went through it and made all the text appearances and icons colorable via color pickers and a RomControl app.
Check out tdunham's Unified TouchWiz mods thread. It is mostly for Samsung's but a lot of the mods are "self-sufficient" so they should work on any device.

My couple of those were slightly modded with the AA51 ROM so as to be rooted & de-krapified.
They get used as terrific MP3 players & GPS units.
If I ever come across a couple more I'll look into making more mods.
For actual cellular uses my favourites are the Kyocera Hydro Icon & the LG Volt - both of which cost around $20 & really satisfy all my phone type needs - also rooted & de-krapified, of course.
There's Android stuff I want to use on the bigger screen - that is my present desire, and I'm hoping for that purpose that Anbox matures quickly.
I know there are other ways to do this, but that one looks most promising for Linux users right now.
Thanks and Best Wishes.
End of the golden age of Android
So sad. First Cyanogenmod site gone, now this. Android hobbyists were edged out by the new compiling method of LP (among other things) and seemed to be a slippery slope of grass-roots support for the platform. Large swaths of the xda forums have become ghost towns.
Not sure if your still trying to find arc1.3 but if my mind serves me correctly I may have it saved to either my laptop or one of my flash drives. I will have to look for it because I had all the aa51 roms for the galaxy Centura as I still have one floating around somewhere with a busted outer glass running arc.

Uploading you a zip right now, I'll post when finished.
It has cwm, twrp, root, return to stock, meid fix, and cwm loop fix. [DO NOT factory reset from Settings, or you'll have to flash loop fix(stock recovery) and then reflash your custom recovery.]
Here you go.

Is there any way you could uploaded me a copy of TWRP or whatever custom recovery you have for the Centura? I have a buddy needing the recovery.
Update: I got ahold of a cwm for it. It works but doesn't mount all partitions correctly...is this what you have also?

Yep, type this in your browser ftp://asburycctv.mooo.com/
These are all the area51 centura files i have ever downloaded.... not sure how long i will have these shared publicly, so download and repost (say from google drive, or something), as soon as you get to it.
Thanks and good luck!
Was hoping there would be some more recent Centura development myself, bummer all online sources seem to be gone :/

I have stuff for the fuel, but not sure about the zone 2. Is it l40c? I've read before that they were the same device, but just on a different carrier (Verizon instead of ST) but idk if they have same bootloader signature. The images had to be "bumped" in order to pass bootloader. You could try, but it would be at your own risk. If you do, share the results so I'll know if they work on it.

I have one on the same condition. There's no fix unfortunately. The bootloader has been tripped.
I tried wondershare, tunes go, I root, but they did not match my phone. Any other options?
Kingoroot apk or pc, kingroot, one click root apk or PC.
I will be getting this device either tomorrow evening or the next day and will try rooting it.
Decided to switch to metropcs, major mistake, and switched back to cricket but had to buy a device so I just picked this one up for free

I've decided to make the LG fortune my daily driver as my ZTE Grand X Max 2 just has too many system glitches and issues to even run properly, I did the google recover thing when doing a factory reset and it got extremely hot to the point I could barely hold it so it'll just be my hotspot device until I get root on this phone or finally pick up an AT&T Hotspot

Anyone have any luck yet? Would be a good rooted phone
I know this thread is a zombie, but I would love to be able root my Fortune. I got it as a cheap temporary phone when my Nexus 5 power button died and I needed a phone for a few days, but this is actually a very good phone for the cheap price I paid. I still use it as my main device. If I could get root, that would be amazing since a lot of stuff I do on my Nexus 4, 5, and 7 often times require root and I'd love to be able to do this stuff on my Fortune.
I heard there was some LG unlock .apk they released mainly for their more popular phones but could work on the Fortune, is this a possibility?
No luck with rooting LG Fortune sold by Cricket. However, if you just want to allow tethering, there is a simple solution.
1. Download "Settings Database Editor" APP
2. Under "system Table", change the value of "tether_entitlement_check_state" from "5" to "0".
Cricket put up minimal road block on this phone.
Is it possible to root stock nougat that I updated from LG bridge with Magisk13.3? Im just discovering Magisk and obviously I dont want to get ahead of myself but I really need root at the moment. any ideas?
Not yet.

No. Does not appear so.
Only if u were already rooted/unlocked/ with TWRP and flashed the Update.zip stock rom already posted. Then u can flash Magisk and root works fine.
Upgrading via OTA or LG Official restore tool (Bridge) re-locks down everything as its reflashing it to pure stock.
I would assume that current means/exploits have not worked on this new version.
The V10 is largely abandoned...(cause V20 been out a while now and soon to the come the V30.
Far as I can tell, only 1 maybe 2 people working on this phone in their spare time....soo....Don't hold your breath.
If a rooted device is very important to you, other than waiting, one could buy a used V10 (or V20) that hasn't been updated off Swappa for pretty cheap. Or, sometimes folks sell already modded/rooted devices. (thats how i got both my V10's).

That's disappointing. I love this phone but don't feel the need to upgrade to v20. Maybe the v30 when it comes out. Thanks for taking the time to respond to me. I've never seen a phone abandoned so quickly ?? now I'm thinking I should go back to Samsung maybe note 8

Hi,
I lost my Samsung S9, so my parents gave me a new LG G5 phone as a replacement. Still in box with all the screen protector, wrappers, etc. because they already had a phone at the time and never ended up using it. So it's basically a brand new phone, with an ancient Oreo Android 8.0 OS. It's a zippy phone, and it's lovely to have a battery sit at 100% for hours on standby (whereas my daily-use Samsung S9 would drop to 99% after a 15 minutes of standby)
All would be fine, except there's two apps I use that need Android 10 - DUO authenticator (which I need for work) and Lastpass.
So I started looking into upgrading the OS, and found these forums. I'd be fine with switching to a custom ROM, but have a few questions:
What custom mod would you recommend for someone merely looking for Android 10 compatibility? I've read that one can lose hardware functionality with custom roms...what are the "known issues"?
Does anyone know whether Lastpass or DUO install on these custom roms?
I'm also happy for someone to just send me a link somewhere that can answer these questions!
Thanks!

Which G5 are you talking about?
If it's a new H850 the bootloader is not any longer unlockable as LG ceased that service.
My unlocked H850 did loose only FM (didn't find any app working with it) and is working fine with lineage-18.1-20220320-nightly-h850-signed.
Don't know about DUO but Lastpass shouldn't care about a non-stock ROM.
Btw did you hear/read about the Lastpass security breach? Wouldn't trust them any longer.
Agree with that last statement. They have been caught lying and half-truths since the hack/breach so I would ditch them to another service and now change your passwords.
Hi, thanks for the replies. But I've solved the problem by getting a used Samsung S20.
But I'm still curious about updating my LG-G5 phone (H831) to make it somewhat software-compatible. I guess my question was more about what Android version is equivalent to Lineage-18.1 . DUO and Lastpass needed Android 10, and I don't know what version of Android Lineage-18.1 (or any of the other custom roms) are branched from.
As for choice of password manager, what are y'all using? I need an Android, iPhone, and web client.
Looks like I can't even consider a modded rom .
I found a post that says:
H831 = Canadian market. Bootlocked. Can't be rooted.

I'm using Keepass and used to have the database on my AVM attached NAS (accessible from via mobile as well).
Now I've switched to store that on an online-storage of my mail provider where I have read/write access as well.
Using either Keepass2android on my android devices and Keepass2 on my Linux Mint 21 system.
Quite easy to configure and always working.
There should be an app for Iphone available which can work with kdbx files.
