I own an Alcatel 3(5052A) shipped with Android 8.1.0. It has a Mediatek MT6739 chipset. I managed to do fastboot oem unlock to unlock the bootloader and flash the official Resurrection Remix GSI successfully but when I attempt to flash Magisk patched boot image I get a fastboot error.
Code:
FAILED (remote: Only system partition can be flashed)
Does anyone know a method to unlock flashing for the other partitions?
I already tried 'fastboot flashing unlock_critical' to no success.
Thanks.
The same on alcatel 1
Im having the same issue at flashing twrp on alcatel 1 :crying:
Ya, me too, having the same issue. It says " Only system partition can be flashed", what does that even mean??? I've unlocked the bootloader Alcatel 1 & yet I get this error.
Is it something to do with the firmware we're on??

If you have your boot.img file go look up mtk-su (I've used this before it's a really good tool). if you don't already have root access then you can use that and run the following in the root shell:
mtk-su gives you a temp root shell for that session and your free to do as you please with it so hopefully that helps you guys
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img if=/dev/block/<path to boot>
Also if you need to try these both:
fastboot oem unlock_critical
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
And you should be good to go
Ensure you place boot.img under /sdcard or similar to where you'd like to flash

This means even with the bootloader unlocked the OEM has still restricted flashing other partitions. It's a custom implementation they have in place

Yes their Bootloader's are able to be unlocked. If that's the case your able to flash a custom recovery because signature verification is disabled in this state. You'd probably have to build the source code to be able to flash if not already available

Looking at said site it don't seem to be legit
So I found this thread and my long dead hopes of dropping a twrp into my device twitched, I mean after so many road blocks I'm surprised my hopes even budged but anyway here goes.
AOSP v32 android 8.1 installed on my Alcatel 5033A su version so I have root... ish
I can't write anything to the system and it stays there (after moving if it goes it's removed on reboot) and that's if I remount to RW cause otherwise even with root moving anything fails, all along I've been flashing my recovery with flashify and keep breaking recovery only to try fastboot method after realizing I can install a TWRP built for MediaTek MT6739 Chipset but that's how I saw the problem, it seems to be the same I get this error too >only system partition can be flashed<.
fastboot oem unlock_critical
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Tried these codes and yeah I was able to do the unlock but afterwards I typed
Fastboot flash recovery <path> do you see my suffering T_T do you see cause I see no (-u)
rubbed it in my own face to see if I'd laugh too didn't even realize I typed this like three times without -u
So on reboot I see the start button checked logs on my pc I'm back at square 1 this phone is cursed like someone from the dev team just sat chanting for hours just to make my life miserable.

fastboot is not just for unlocking your bootloader. fastboot will allow you to flash almost every partition on your device, especially now that your bootloader is unlocked. Flash CWM with fastboot. Then you can use CWM to install CM, AOKP, AOSP roms that are already rooted. Don't know how many there are for your device tho. There's all kinds of information around here for using fastboot. Search is your friend

Theoretically yes. If you have a Terminal Emulator app on your device, type the following two lines. Each line is a separate command.
Code:
su
reboot fastboot
That should put you in fastboot mode, then allowing the fastboot executable on your system to communicate with the device via the fastboot protocol. The 'su' may not be necessary.
Otherwise you'll have to use adb. Make sure device is booted normally. Doesn't matter what mode it's in, ie; Charge Only, MTP, LG Software, etc... Type the following in a command prompt window...
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
If you don't have ADB installed, you don't need the entire Android SDK, just the platform tools. There are several packages floating around here that contain just the fastboot executable and the adb executable with it's support libraries. Support libraries are for Windows only.
Somehow, trying to install TWRP via fastboot, I've soft bricked myself.
I can boot into fastboot mode and that's about it. My bootloader says it's still locked even though I've attempted to unlock it via the fastboot oem unlock command.
So I'm kinda stuck at the fastboot mode screen or the 1+ screen.
Any idea's?
I'm soft bricked too.
Unrooted using KingRoot and then tried to install the 2.1.3 update.
It failed and now I can't get into the system. What should I do? Can I unlock my bootloader in this state?

Yep, can get into fastboot. Should I first just boot TWRP using fastboot boot, and then
1. Wipe system, 2. Install OTAs?
Edit: Unable to fastboot boot, says Device not unlocked
Edit 2: fastboot oem unlock works! Let's try flashing recovery.
The following procedure will only work if you have a microSD card with adapter for a computer. You need to download the stock rom and save it to the microSD card then place it back into the X.
Ok guys, you should still have stock recovery if twrp didn't flash. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3244996
Click the link to download otas, only download the one with this file name ( OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_003_all_201510241934 ). You can flash this file through stock recovery. It should preserve your data. I personally did this while I still had a locked bootloader.
If you can't do this now, just turn the phone off and leave it charging for a while. Then just try to turn it on, or try to get into recovery.

Bad news. You'll need to do a remote support session with OnePlus to have your phone reflashed with their Qualcomm tool.
Sorry for OT, didn't want to create another thread!
Here's what I did
1. Unlocked the bootloader
2. Flashed eng.stk TWRP recovery
3. Flashed OxygenOS 2.1 OTA 003
4. Flashed OxygenOS 2.1.3 OTA 004 + OTA 005
5. Rooted using SuperSU
6. Installed eng.stk blu_spark kernel
SOMEHOW, I still have my modem and IMEI partitions!
Does that mean I just need to
1. Flash stock ROM
2. Relock bootloader
To reclaim warranty?
Edit: I wiped /system before flashing OxygenOS

So what does?
Usually when installing a ROM, /system needs to be wiped.
If /system wipe does not lose my IMEI partitions, I could just reflash stock ROM and my warranty is back?

It was true for OPO, same goes for OPX?

You can't flash stock from TWRP.
You will need to flash the latest factory image for your device.

How the hell are you locked, if you have TWRP recovery on the Device?
Have you tried a factory reset?
How did the device get into this state? After OTA process?
Doubt if it will work but you could try sideloading the Android N OTA.

My brother try to root the device.
During flashing something go wrong.
So now
I tryed Factory Reset - it shows This is development device not intended for production use, hten TWRP start, shows errors "Unable to mount data.." and return to fastboot screen
Maybe some hope for you .........
If indeed you have TWRP recovery installed, and your system + data partition are not corrupted/deleted.
You maybe able to set OEM Unlock flag with a flash able script.
Get Nexus BootUnlocker script
Nexus BootUnlocker script (GN, N4, N5, N6, N7 '13, N9, N10)
I don't know about everyone else but sometimes I find I've rebooted into the bootloader only to realize I've forgotten to unlock it in segv11's excellent BootUnlocker App beforehand. Well, I decided to make a BootUnlocker Script for my Galaxy Nexus so I could just boot to recovery quickly, unlock, then adb reboot-bootloader (or use my Reboot To Bootloader script below) to get back without having to fully boot the OS to make the change. Also extremely useful in the case you aren't able to boot. As with the app there is no data loss like there would be with fastboot, allowing you to relock for safety. Originally posted in the GN EDIFY Scripting thread. Modified for the newer Nexus devices and combined into a single Nexus BootUnlocker zip with tamperbit reset support added using information from the BootUnlocker App Dev thread. For newer devices using Factory Reset Protection (N6+N9), the BootUnlocker Script can't directly toggle the lockstate due to new security tokens, but it does now toggle the ability to use "fastboot oem unlock" without needing a booted device.

If the script works, issue "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode.
Note: The above script will only work from a custom recovery such as TWRP.
when you update to 3.1.0 twrp recovery is not compactible with the new recovery partition so you need to flash opxstock 3.1.0 recovery so that you will be able to flash android lollipop version of the opx and reroot and install twrp.
the proccess is really simple
1)go to settings about phone and enable developer options by tapping build number 10 times.
2)enable adb and oem unlocking
3)go to the folder you have adb and fastboot installed
4)Place the downloaded recovery file there(the one FROM THIS THREAD!)
5)type 'adb reboot bootloader'
Phone will reboot to bootloader
6)type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'(or the name you gave for the recovery with '.img' at the end)
7)type 'fastboot boot recovery.img'
8)flash update.zip (the 2.1.1 version)If you cannot find the link to the file comment bellow
9)flash the update.zip via stock recovery.
10)your phone is back to stock now and you are able to flash twrp recovery and root your phone now.

Not at all. The point is to flash an old offcieal recovery, then OOS 3 to update bootloader.
If you already are on the new bootloader no need to do that.
if you're not, BLupdater.
If already try to flash something not compatible, you may haave to run the Mega unbrick Guide.
Same isse with E1001
I had the same issue "remote: dtb not found" when trying to use recent (3+) versions of TWRP on my E1001 One Plus X. I ended up discovering that only an old version of TWRP (2.8.7) would boot on the device. Here is the version I used successfully on One Plus X E1001 (white): twrp-2.8.7.0-6.0-onyx.img. I cannot post a link to it as the forum is preventing new users to publish external links but I have it if needed.
Here is a patched MSM download tool for TMobile OP7T Pro 5G McLaren.
It will bypass the need to sim unlock before unlocking the bootloader, and will also bypass the need of an unlock token file from OnePlus (hence skip the wait period of 1 week to get the privilege to unlock). It will NOT sim unlock the phone.
1) Download the patched MSM download tool: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6r6vn...04+patched+for+easy+bootloader+unlock.7z/file
EDIT: 10.0.39 version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vdphi4ncs9alxv6/hotdogg_13_A.01_200915_patched_10.0.39.7z/file
2) Run the tool, select "other" in "Login type", click Next, connect your phone in EDL mode, ensure the "sha256 check" is NOT checked, select "TMO" in the Target dropdown, click the Start button and wait until it's completed.
3) The phone will show a red warning saying "device is corrupt", just ignore that and wait some time. It will fallback in fastboot because it's not able to boot. Update your fastboot executable, otherwise fastboot might not recognise the following command. Download it here: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip. Now run the following fastboot command, and follow the instructions on the screen of the phone:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
4) Bootloader is now unlocked.
5) If you want to be able to boot, you'll probably need to flash again the boot.img of the rom. Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/37rl13s60rsqy5m/boot.img/file
EDIT: 10.0.39 boot.img : http://www.mediafire.com/file/tt6c58u519d8ktc/boot.img_10.0.39.7z/file
And run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
6) Run "fastboot reboot".
Thread re opened by moderators.
The placeholder for the link has now been replaced by the actual link to download the tool.
Could you use this tool to flash mclaren 7t pro Global to tmo version? Even if it means giving up 5g?
So with this you would not need to contact TMobile to permanent unlock and the OEM unlock the phone? And you would also not need to get the unlock code from OnePlus for the bootloader?

It doesn't work like that.
And this thread is not about converting the phone to international.

Just click on Login type and select "Other" in the dropdown.
The tool will open without credentials.

If you don't know how to install a ROM you should not be using this tool.
Go in this forum section and read the posts, choose one of the available ROMs and install it.

you never mention that you have to install a rom I tought I was going to unlock the phone but my os was going to stay ok!
you should post that in the thread because I didnt want to install any third party roms
Ok, I understand what happened.
I talked with the person who proposed to test the tool, @omariscal1019 , and we think you can't boot because you were for example on the rom 10.0.30 but you flashed this MSM which is based on 10.0.36 rom.
You might need to flash back only the boot.img of the 10.0.30 ROM.
I will extract boot and recovery partitions of each rom versions and post them on the first post of this thread.
Now that you are unlocked you only need to run
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" (not exactly sure of the syntax but it's close)
That will flash your boot partition

Good suggestion, i think it should work.
If you're still stuck in fastboot, try the "fastboot continue" command.
Please share the results,
Thanks

You say "after trying to unlock bootloader" which suggest the bootloader unlock failed ?
Does the fastboot mode shows unlocked bootloader ? If it's locked, that's normal that the phone is stuck in fastboot.
Have you tried to flash the original T-Mobile 10.0.36 MSM, then the patched 10.0.36 MSM?
