i didnt find any rom for this device, if someone could help us here! please
not sure if this is legit or not. https://romprovider.com/2018/06/root-twrp-alcatel-a5-max-led-5085n/ If not, send me a pm and we can try 2 more ideas I have. I have an Alcatel 5041C I was able to get twrp ported for. MT6739 SOC.
I downloaded this and it's legit: https://www.gizrom.com/alcatel-a5-led-stock-firmware/
If your phone works with this and there isn't already TWRP for your device, I can help you out with a ported TWRP and Root.
wow dude my bad! i just saw this post better
i want to update my android, its totally different from what he wants

You should be able to update to the newest software using SUGAR MTK_SP_Gotu2.

Hiya, I have exactly the same problem. I want to root the device but I haven't been able to complete the first step, unlock bootloader. For the record I also tried KingRoot and KingoRoot to no avail.
I've tried power off with usb cable attached to pc (once charging the Device Manager recognizes as MTP USB device under mobile devices, no fastboot or ADB access); volume up+power (gets to recovery), volume down+power (restarts, no fastboot), volume up+down+power (restarts, no fastboot).
Therefore to be able to unlock the bootloader I need to access fastboot, but there seems to be no way to enter that mode.
I'm in the process of downloading firmware from https://www.gizrom.com/alcatel-a5-led-stock-firmware/ which should obviously help me if I manage to fubar the phone.
But now what? Any suggestions?
EDIT 2019_0326
Read in a post that the encryption keys would e erased when unlocking the bootloader. Since I have the external SD card mapped as internal storage (system setting available from 6.0) maybe that is what is keeping me from entering the fastboot?
The xploit i have works on this model. It grants temp root from a shell. The bootloader may or not be unlocked, depends on if any updates were ever released, etc.... My idol 4 was unlocked from the factory so i got lucky there. Once you have temp root, you may be able to push perm root, depends on how tight the phone is locked down. Ill pm you the file with commands and you can test from that point

@PizzaG, i have an Alcatel A5 Led too, and I'm looking for a way to root...anyone can help if possible? I know we have to unlock the bootloader before, but how to access the fastboot mode?
Estou com os mesmos problemas, o celular não entra em fastboot por nada!

Hi folks,
unfortunately I somehow bricked my ZTE Open. I flashed cwm (worked fine) but after flashing both system AND userdata via flash_image, the phone won't boot and what is much worse it won't boot into cwm anymore as it hangs there with just showing the logo and the cwm version. The menus are missing, it does not react buttons and does not show up in adb. FTM mode is also non-functional, holding volup gets you also into broken recovery.
For earlier ZTE devices like the ZTE Blade it seems to be possible to low level flash them in diagnostics mode. Diagnostics mode is working fine on the ZTE Open (it shows up with the diagnostics port on USB. Luckily I also have all the 20 partitions backed up, but I don't know how to flash them in this diagnostics mode. I tried putting the files into the root of the SD card and including sha1/256/512 plus md5sum files, but it was not impressed by that. Not sure if this only works in FTM mode, though.
Any help would be highly appreciated! I highly assume that the procedure is the same as for the ZTE Blade.
This may help. http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
At least there is more going on for Firefox Open over there.
Thanks but as you might have noticed I posted several comments there already, but I thought XDA would be the right place for unbricking devices.

Are there any updates on this one?
I have bricked Open too, I'm attaching the PCB picture, if it is any help to maybe find UART or JTAG pins?
Can someone be really nice and please dump the bootloader from working ZTE Open in send it to me?
I've found some guy, who maybe can help me write bootloder with JTAG.
I think this should work, but no promises: https://sites.google.com/site/zteopenfirmware/download-mode

tpt files for the zte open
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rnj3rja7gd54s98/_twgXEkMFH/P752D04_DEV_EU_20131212_v1.2.7z
Thank you for the link. But what tool is supposed to be used to flash the files? And is there a way I can use my backup as well? In this case: how can I transform it to TPT files?
Update: I tried flashing it by following the instructions of the link posted by psywolf, but unfortunately I am getting the same error as aversario. I tried also flashing just recovery, but it seems like no single partition is flashed successfully.
So, I've ordered jtagulator and it showed the pins. Now I need jtag programmer, which one do you guys recommend?
And I am still looking for some great guy to share with me his bootloader of a functional zte open.

Well, I don't know the partition names by heart, but as I remember the bootloader is one of the small partitions (so definitely not system or boot or userdata or recovery).
The way to get that small partitions would be installing CWM recovery first -> http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/
then enter adb shell on computer
su # to get root privileges
then it should be something like explained here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3GOzUURSgM&feature=player_detailpage#t=153
And thank you very much for your time
If i figure out how to do that without CWM i'll upload it for you. Cannot install CWM because i need to be on stock recovery for development of update packages, sorry

OK, I get that. I'm sure there exists a way to do it without changing recovery also. I just can't figure it out because that's the only Firefox OS phone I've had.
try to reinstall
Hi, I bricked my ZTE Open (EU version) too. Had bought it from a German Ebay seller and tried to flash FirefoxOS 2.0 on my device. I don't have the CWM recovery installed, only the "Firefox OS System Recovery" Big mistake, I know . When I switch on the device, the Firefox OS logo appears, then disappeas after a few seconds, and so on, the perfect bootloop
I can't access the device via ADB or fastboot.
When I ty to install any downloaded zip (even from ZTE's homepage) from the SD card, I get following messages:
Code:
--Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
So there is no valid signature.
Can you help me please? Thank you!

Found a solution by myself!:victory:
I downloaded the update.zip file from firefox.ztems.com (Update package of Android GB for OPEN device) and installed it.
After that I could flash the CWM recovery. It seems to work...
Hi peeps,
I have brand new D625 latest variant and i was trying to root it. To my surprise, none of the towelroot works (V1 gets stuck and V3 says not supported) also tried Stump Root which also says unsupported device.
So i figured out i had to downgrade it to a lower version so i would be able to root it. But guess what? My recovery is only the android with exclamation mark and there's no option to flash the update.zip (the ext2 trick). No luck.
Then i tried the LG Flash Tool. When it starts, the phone first reboot at about 9% i think to get into download mode, but it simply reboot. Tryied it with DIAG/EMERGENCY/CS_EMERGENCY. No luck.
The Vol + and plug USB also does not work.
Please, if anyone has succeed on this matter, PLEASE SHARE!!
Thanks

hey, check this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/general/desbloquear-bootloader-e-modo-donwload-t3009229 , maybe this will help you out.
I have the same trouble. This motherf*cker phone won't boot into download or emergency mode because it has its bootloader locked. I hate LG! Do you know any solution for this? I have my brain burned
From my experience, towelroot always dissapointed me.
Just download Kingo Root APK to your phone, activate your mobile data and have fun.
If it fails, just click root again and it`ll work for sure.
As an alternative you can try Kingo Root for PC/APK or iRoot for PC/APK(former vRoot)
The sad part is that D625 uses a Tegra Chipset by nVidia and untill now, there is no confirmation of D625 unlocked bootloader.

You can access recovery?
Usually when you see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" it is because the phone can't load the bootloader (bios), so I am a bit confused about the state of your phone.
You likely need more files than the OTA has.

That's a good question ; yes i can access to QDloader HS-USB 9008 with qualcomm drivers ; I CAN ONLY acces to
recovery holding VOL+ then plugin in USB. Phone off then : POWER + VOL+ doesnt boot recovery.
Wipe Data/factory seems to work, adb sideload; device is regognized in adb shell but most of commands answer are: "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" when i choose reboot in bootloader it's the boot screen with 'DC CHECK MODE' left corner..
Is there someone reading me who has the same phone?
Is there someone able to upload me .img (system, boot ...) that i can flash with QPST Tools? Stock Firmware? Nandroid Backup?
Is there someone who can guide me to repair that phone stuck in bootscreen? I think the problem come from my stupidity fogetting to unroot (Kingoroot apk replaced by SuperSU) before OTA update.
How extract my proper firmware
Hello
How extract the om from the device
Help Me
Same problem...
I have the same problem too... Please help
sharing my experience in a similar quest
Hello ! You probably must have resolved the issue by now. Like you, I too had a similar issue ( Reliance Jio Lyf Wind4 - Haier L51)
In my nooby quest for a solution have made some progress. The learning is:
One needs : Mprg8909.hex, 8909_msimage.mbn, rawprogram0.xml, patch0,xml to recover.
If you can get hold of a phone similar to yours, you can dump all the partitions. That can then be used to get the required information to make your unique rawprogram0.xml. The process of dumping becomes very easy if the phone is root and you are running an insecure boot. Using basing Linux commands like fdisk,gparted,proc you can get and idea of your partition details. The dd command will help you dump the partitions.
Yes the tools to use is from the QPST suite or look for the stand alone emmcdl.exe
As your phone is showing the QUSB 9008 mode you need to be able to switch the phone to Emergency Download Mode after which you can use MIflash or similar tool to flash the ROm from the dumped images. Thats where the rawprogram0.xml comes in. It details partition information required to revive the phone.
Havent succeeded yet, but am feeling encouraged. Probably need to resolve syntax errors creating the rawprogram0.xml and figure out if just this much is enough to switch the phone to EDL.
After lurking here for months, this is my first post, therefore I request indulgence in case I have inadvertently erred

Hi
I have a similar issue with a different phone (Reliance LYF LS 5014 - a.k.a. Haier HL-L51) Service centres will claim that the motherboard needs to be changed (and charge you an arm and a leg ;p) Even if you get the firmware image it wont help. Thats becuase if you are bricked and in the QLoader 9008 , you first have to get the phone in EDL (emergency download mode) only then can you use MI Flash et al to flash your ROM.
The route I am taking is as follows: got hold of a similar phone and dumped all the partitions using the dd command. Then getting hold of all partition information using gdisk/parted/df et al This is so that I can create a partition.xml. From this I could run a Python script ( PartitionTool.py) to get rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml. Using emmcldl and partiton.xml I can create the 8909_msimage.mbn . Hopefully, armed with these and QPST /Miflash I should be able to revive my phone. I have read that one needs the mprg8909.hex to kick the phone into EDL but am not convinced that without it I will remain stuck. That file seems to be guarded like a state secret by phone manufacturers.
ALl this I have learnt the hard way over almost a fortnight. I confess that I do fall into the "noob" category and cant program/develop to save my life. Therefore it should be easy for anyone with the right amount of enthu

on continuing my quest for a solution
Havent given up yet.
Discovered two really useful utilities: emmcdl and fh_loader both work from the DOS command prompt and are useful to download images and partitions to the phone.
Managed to create a rawpartition0.xml which I think is for my phone ( LYF Wind 4 a.k.a Haier HL L51 and LS5014) For this I used a similar phone and after rooting it managed to extract start sector and size in kilobytes info for each of the partitions.
Also used EFS Professional to get a backup of emcc firmware.
Have successfully downloaded all the partitions but am failing at the bootloader (emmc firmware) part. Continuing my quest for a solution and will share whatever I figure.

1. Why can't you go to the Rjio service center and get it flashed? Just tell them it got screwed after an update.
2. How did you manage to root the phone? Mine is Flame1 which has same MSM8909 chipset.
I am very not happy with the stock ROM but I don't think anyone has come up with a custom ROM for this cheap chipset.
I have bricked my CAT S30 too. Is there someone who have a solution? Or can somehow make a ROM copy so I can somehow flash it to the phone? I made a lot of searching and can not figure out how to make the phone work again.
hello I need firmware for S30 because I lightened too much after the root and I deleted something I should not, is now locked in the home screen CAT, but I can get into fastboot and bootloader.
thank you guys
file for CAT S30
Hello
I purchased another CAT S30 which has just lit downloaded a system update and I extracted from the cache, now the load so you can work on it.
if you need other things tell me how can I copy them from working phone.
my I crashed after I canceled the DownloadProviderUi.apk files and perhaps I put not compatible. now I can only access the fastboot or DC CHECK mode.
I tried to flash the .zip program but by mistake, I tried to flash the update and installs it by error although it says it has been installed, and still does not start, remains in the white screen CAT

Hi got this same phone only two weeks ago, and broke it trying to root it, got stuck on Bootscreen, however I found an unofficial rom for the device, loaded into an SD card and applied via recovery and boom, its a working phone again.

Hello all,
I'm a long date not registered user but after tryIng root my Blu Vivo 5 MINI a whole week I've come to the conclusion to ask for your help!
I'll try put all the things and methods I tried to achieve this, but not succeeded.
Device info:
BLU Vivo 5 Mini
Android version 6.0;
Build number: MRA58k
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1499.MD.WG.MP.V57.P14
Chipset: MT6580
What I've tried so far:
After enable USB debugging and unlock oem. I uninstalled my antivirus too.
- Tried root with one click programs like Kingroot, genius root, etc. The programs can verify the model vivo 5 mini but can't complete the process.
- Tried root with SP Flash Tool taking the stock rom and replacing the recovery.img by a twrp-recovery.img for chipset MT6580. After sucessfuly flashed and turn device on with power button + volume up button the system displays that's entering Recovery Mode but reset automatically doing a reboot. When I gave up of repeating this and let the device reboot I comes as a reseted stockrom or it soft bricks looping the boot screen until battery end.
- Tried flash recovery.img for mt6580 chipset by fastboot. Made device listed from adb devices, then entered fastbook mode by adb reboot bootloader and flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. At the phone screen displays data transfer status Ok and then when rebooted I get the same flooping error, cant enter twrp because I don't know why and when I let it go I get a reseted stockrom again or soft bricked.
I tried made this last step too doing the adb erase recovery.img and trying again. Tried made before it all some adb kill-server and adb start-serve and also kill the adb.exe process from task manager processes.
Can anyone please, help me? What should I do? Anyone already rooted sucessfuly a Vivo 5 MINI?
Hope you can help me and made me able to use the full potential of my phone.

Don't have a MINI. I found a twrp that was close to my XL2, used Carliv Image Kitchen to unpack it and the stock recovery. Had to redo some files, TWRP building thread shows correct formats and info needed, so read that and adjust for your MINI. Repacked using Carliv then flashed using SPF Tools. Once it worked, I backed up all my partitions then flashed SuperSU.
Once I realized I had all the info I needed to build TWRP, that is what I did.

Blu Vivo 5 Mini
For full disclosure I am not a developer so my anticipated apologies for any comments that sound weird.
I got a Blu Vivo 5 Mini for using as a data collection on a field project, expecting it would be OTG compatible. It happens that it is not from out-of-the-box.
I've been trying all sorts of suggestions to root it available on this and other threads but nothing works.
I spoke to Blu this morning and they told me that the hardware in this phone is not compatible with OTG. I am trying to understand what that means. Using OTG checker it only says I am missing the USB Host file.
Appreciate any light on this.

Hello everyone,
I have an LG k4 2017 (X230H)
I have searched for a infinity of methods for root, but I have not found anything to help with this.
If someone has an idea of what to do, I can be their tester.

I just got this terminal (LG-X230H-MM6.0-kernel-3.18.19+) and im looking actively for a way to root it, theres a metod to root MM 6.0 but we can't use it unless we have temporal root, i've ported a TWRP versión with a metod from here (XDA) using a MT6737M TWRP ported to our terminal, found an OEM rom w/o bloatware full LG, flashed it with SP Tools and works like a charm, trying to start from there.
Tryed to run the twrp w/o flashing it from the bootloader (fastboot boot <img file name>), I got a message that the transfer was ok but didn't start, just stays there, tryed to flash it and nothing.
Tryed to unlock the bootloader, it gives me the warning bla bla bla waranty, then the option volume up, to unlock and volume down to cancel, when I press volume up does nothing, no warning no select, nothing, but with volume down cancels it and resets it. ("OEM unlock" developer options is already active)
Until now I think the best way to install the custom TRWP is by SP tools, already tryed from SP tools, then when it tryes to flash it i got the error: "BROM ERROR, s_security_secure_usb_dl_image_sign_header_not_found (6045), MSP ERROE CODE : 0x00" So I need a way to sign my recovery.img as an LG OEM file, or a way to skip the sign check.
Still working on it.

I'm pleased with the progress you're making!

Don't worry sir!
Thanks for u help!
I'll try it in the weekend
Hello, I know this post is from more than a month ago but I have a question, that clean lg rom, can I use it on a k4 model x230z? Would be my first time trying this and don't know the meaning of those letters at the end yet and I really hate the bloatware and personalized boot animation that my company installed on it
Yes, you can do it without problem
I have found the fastboot and I launched fastboot OEM unlock and it got confirmation page I can't press yes on it, so I'm stuck on unlocking the bootloader

Yes is "protected" i've read that using a dongle miniUSB to USB (https : //brain-images-ssl.cdn.dixons.com/1/6/10166261/u_10166261.jpg) you can connect a mouse/keyboard to do the job, didn't tried it yet cuz didn't wanted to avoid warranty but im past half way warranty so im going to try it soon.
Was messing around the x230h and by mistake did a full format so my nvram got erased, not a big deal is already fixed full working but still I want to fix it right, it would be helpful if someone can help me here, I just need the nvram.bin extracted with flashtools. ^^

You can try, they are mostly the same terminal, the last letters are generally regional settings the rom for the x230 is the neutral/original and then the company do the customs and the last letters are added, just remember to do a full flashtools backup including your nvram so you can recover it anytime, and if you could share the nvram.bin with me will be appreciated.

Man, I thought I've already answered your comment, but now I'm seeing the answer it's not here
Well here we go...
While I'm willing to help all the poor x230ds community with this (and help myself too, lol) I think I need more detailed information on how to do it. Wish you could help!
Actually I've got root access on android before, It was 2015 and that didn't seem any hard at all. I remember I had just to put some files in SD card and restart phone in an unusual mode (by pressing some combination of keys), and from that state it could ran these SD card files. Also I remember something like clearing caches before installing custom ROMs and giving SuperSU access. It worked fine, but now I've got this x230ds and suddendly no one can do it :>
So let's get to work...
Just to show you the state I'm in when It comes to rooting-android-knowledge, for example when you've said you "got a terminal (LG-X230H-MM6.0-kernel-3.18.19+)", I was like "what on earth is a terminal, Is he talking about a cellphone?", lmao
As for the TWRP you've mentioned here, is this thing a "file" you put on SDCard too?

I suppose I have to download this clean LG rom and do something with this TWRP, but not sure what it is

Don't know how to do this backup, willing to study if you give me something about
and if you could share the nvram.bin

Greetings, first of all yes thats how you root most phones then we have the LG ones that have the bootloader locked so you can't do that, the bootloader locked in the LG phones protects the write of the boot.img and recovery.img so you can't write a custom recovery, most LG phones are like this, some can be rooted by other process as my LG L50, this one can be rotted using purpledrake, this program injects the root using the meta but this works only for 4.4.2-.
Can't post links yet so just remove the spaces in the links
Now, to backup your phone you need the scatter file that comes with the rom and the rom is on my others post is a clean LG rom no bloatware so even if you can't root it we can have a more clean one, is marked as a x230 it works really nice, you will need the SPFlashTools too. Too connect the phone to SPFlashTools; phone power off, press volume+ connect the USB and release volume+.
Clean X230 rom and Flashtools:
h tt ps : // drive.google. com/open?id=1VtnN14eRElO0LKo9bpo1k94rTPHSM215
h tt ps : // spflashtool. com/
And this video show you how to do it:
h tt ps : / / w w w . youtube. com/watch?v=UFiwuaxzhxM
Then you will need to check if you can unlock the bootloader, for that you will need to have the LG drivers installed and adb, check the next link there you have everything you need to do that, just follow the instructions:
h tt ps : / / w w w .skyneel. com/unlock-bootloader-lg-devices
Tell us if it works or are you stuck with the locked bootloader with the rest of us, gl.
Edit: In case you have the bootloader locked and can't unlock it (the volume+ key didn't work only the volume-)
and you want to install the clean rom, first of all backup your nvram as the video show you so even if you make a mistake you can recover it, this video show you how to:
h tt ps : / / www .youtube. com/watch?v=pOXS8yUlKig
Drivers:
h tt ps : / / drive.google. com/open?id=1p770FY4XZ2YwdMo49a8D54_P81HedKKo
The first time you connect the cellphone in download mode it can be a pain, the modem only connects for a few seconds so is hard to manually install the driver, luckily it will work just trying to connect it twice and will work.
Use only "Download Only" or "Firmware Upgrade" don't use "Format all + Download" the last one will erase the nvram too and if you don't have it and you have a locked bootloader it will be a pain to full fix it, that was my mistake still not sure how and why I select it, it was late and I was sleepy but erased my nvram. XD
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to make a backup before proceeding to install this twrp since I am afraid that something will happen

sorry but I can not unlock the bootloader
LGs suck! I have 7.0 & will be stuck with it until I get new phone..
This terminal is very difficult to control, the bootloader can not be unlocked, it can not be rooted using kingroot or some other method, it is required that the roms are "signed" for the sp flash tool so nothing can be done. even the download mode does not work ...
I have a doubt why I can not update using fota with the rom x230 clean?
I remember that I recently received an update and now with this rom it does not detect any update

For the type of rom, this rom is the LG stock rom and is the last from LG, mostly the last update that you got is from your custom dealer rom (I have too one a lot more modern from Telcel México 06/2018) but for me I prefer a cleaner rom that is stable than a modern one, I have no problems with the clean one everything works great and the last update from Telcel just added more bloatware and more adds.
