Hi all,
I'm new here and was wondering if I could get some help.
I recently purchased an Oukitel C15 Pro, which I am now trying to root but without any success.
From my own research, there are 2 versions of the Oukitel C15 Pro, one that is 2 gb ram and another one which is 3gb ram. Mine is the updated version 3gb with V14 build number.
Here is some info:
Build number - OUKITEL_C15 Pro_V14.0_20191121
Baseband - E557_61_P0_LWTG_V0.3.0_S191028
OS - Android 9.0
Processor - MT6761V/WBB - ARMv7 Processor rev 4, 4 cores at 2ghz arm cortex a53
So far I have managed to find the stock rom file and twrp recovery file for Oukitel C15 Pro.
I seem to be having issues with booting into recovery. I have literally tried everything.
I've tried flashing it via adb, trying to boot from adb into recovery etc. I've also tried using the SP flash tool. It does the flashing perfectly fine without any errors as I have already unlocked the bootloader and debugging is on, but the phone just seems to always load into its stock recovery and not twrp.
I've also tried patching the boot file with majisk, again no errors whatsoever, however when trying to boot, it boots into the normal system without any changes being made. I have all drivers installed etc and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
I know that on some phones you have to boot directly into recovery after flashing otherwise the stock recovery will overwrite the twrp but again no luck, it just boots into the stock file.
I have also tried booting it via adb directly into recovery once flashed but no luck, normal recovery loads. When I try to do adb sideload I get error E 21 verification failed.
Does anybody have any advice on what I need to do to root my device? Maybe the files I have downloaded are wrong? I have no idea. I'd literally appreciate any help/links etc.
Thank you
You are not alone

Hi there,
I have one of these phones too and am going to start hacking it shortly. Did you make any further progress in the last few weeks? My phone is virgin at this stage. I will report back if I get anywhere.

Disable dm-verity/AVB if it's enabled, otherwise you wont have any luck flashing a Custom Recovery, a Custom ROM or patched boot
Code:
adb devices
adb disable dm-verity
adb reboot

Hi everybody!
On our 4pda.ru forum we are struggling with this phone in two ways- rootin it and unlocking in order to update manually to 2.0 and even 2.2; and other way- working android (already have beta rom which is exact copy of rom from another alcatel 6014x which runs android and similar to our Fire E 6015x).
if there are any enthusiasts about android, i can translate the guide for you and share the needed files and programs. Almost everything works except sim-card(when there is no one- phone asks to insert it, when there is one- phone says its not registered) but we are working on it
i came over a https://www.soeren-hentzschel.at/mo...ch-verteilt-firefox-os-2-0-und-firefox-hello/ that states that in Germany some people already received 2.0 update on their Fire E. Here arises my question- are here people who own updated Fire E? I mean update to 2.0.
If there are ones, would you be so kind to make a copy of your rom for our little development? I can provide you with guides and software on how to do it.
I can post guides for making this an android phone.
Hi my dear russian brother - greetings from Germany.
I do have an updated 6015x device to FFOS2.0 and I could dump the rom for U. Just gimme links to the needed info. My russian is not one of my strength, but I think I can manage it - I'm a bulgarian after all.
hej, i also have a 6015X (fire e) with firefox os 2.0 running
tell me how to make a rom which i can send to you
root
After few months of waiting my phone get the forefoxos2.0 update
01008d yes it is fine but how to root it?

Look, please, do you have in System settings parameters of russian language on your FFOS 2.0.
HOWTO ROOT ALCATEL OT 6015X:
1. Download CWM recovery image made for 6014x.
https:// yadi.sk/d/BIdXndcbfR2Gm
2. Download Install-SuperSU.
download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
3. Turn your phone to bootloader mode anyway.
4. Run modrecovery:
Code:
fastboot boot my_recovery.img
5. In CWM menu follow "install zip" -> "install zip from sideload"
6. On pc:
Code:
adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7. reboot phone
I am sure lowlevel utilities from android's SuperSU are working fine on any FFOS (because FFOS based on Android now).

I wonder how do you use it though, can you build it on its own? The B2G by Mozilla still hasn't got an option for this device.

I tried your recovery image but it doesn't seem to work. There is no error but after booting the image, the device isn't visible in fastboot or adb. For that reason, I'm unable to sideload the Su zip update.

Flashing the recovery image works though, then sideloading the SU image works from clock work mode recovery.
Ok, here's some news. I built a boot image that enables adb as root. All you need is to flash it on the boot partition and reboot the phone. I made a few changes to the boot image.
default.prop
Code:
ro.secure = 0
ro.debuggable = 1
To flash:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot3.img
and replaced /sbin/adbd by an adbd built with "ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT". (I used the sources fetched using b2g repo).
Cool thing..wish I am able

As far as i know even Firefox OS 2.2 is not officially released yet.
There are only pre Versions.
Has anybody else troubles with FFOS 2.0 on the Alcatel Fire E?
The phone sometimes hangs completely while it was sleeping. (Can´t wake up or even call the phone)
Only if i press the start button for some seconds the phone starts again.
I hope someone builds a FFOS 2.2 Rom for the Fire E --> Copy and paste :good:
How can I switch this piece of **** called smartphone to bootloader mode?
Softbricked 6015x
Hey guys,
I got stuck with creating the boot.img and figured out that the backed up one doesn't work.
Does anybody have a working boot.img for the 6015x, NOT the 6014x?
I tried also getting the venezuelian one, but those TLDs are not reachable anymore - all gone.
The custom boot images from the russian 4pda forum are also not working.
I currently have only access to ADB, the TWRP recovery mod (temporarily) and fastboot, so I need a fastboot working image.
The Mobile Upgrade Q / TCL Updater / QDST distribution updater is Windows only - and crawling the binaries for URLs is a dead-end. The tool also requires
a fully booted OS, so it's pretty much the dumbest update tool out there and not practical to use. As I don't have Windows, the imgc files for the eMMC flashing tool are also a dead-end.
I really need only the boot.img file.

Yes, my device constantly reboots and fails to initialize the display (seems like an Xorg alike error to me) when trying to figure out what logcat shows.
Due to the constant reboots I can't debug it using adb, because of constantly lost connections. That's why I'm asking for an OEM boot.img file.
I started to collect the working stuff over at github.com/martensms/alcatel-6015x (cant post links -_-)

Did you try to boot with fastboot or did you flash it to the boot partition. I had no success booting with fastboot but flashing works. That said, you have to install a custom recovery image.
Also, I'm working on building FFOS from sources but as won't be home for a month, it's kind of slow.

Both. Didn't work. As I said, I have no functioning boot image available. All boot images, from everywhere including your one, don't work.
I don't know what's so hard to understand. NO custom boot.img works. Seriously. None. Simple as that. I tried 9 different boot.img out, I even tried extracting the eMMC boot.img which obviously failed.
Again, third time, I just need an OEM boot.img in order to get further debugging my device because I can't debug my device in 3 second disconnect intervals from ADB.
edit: I unbricked my device now and made backup images of all OEM partitions - github.com/martensms/alcatel-6015x

That's weird, my custom boot works on my own phone. 6015x, it's a russian phone. Firmware revision: 01005, hardware revision 01, platform version: 28. Firefox OS 1.3.0.0 .
I guess, if you had a newer version of Firefox, there could be something wrong with the boot image.
Hello XDA!
I am writing this thread to ask for help rooting my Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro.
I attempted to use apps such as: Framaroot, Kingroot, etc.. but so far none of them have worked and I have not been able to find a working guide on the internet of how to root my phone.
I also tried installing an unofficial version of TWRP for my phone but everytime I tried to boot into the recovery it would say "No Command" and then boot into the original recovery.
Is anyone able to help me root my phone? Can it even be done?
Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!

Try this at your own risk
Make a backup before trying
I got root access with this method
Download stock Rom from sammobile extract and there should be 5 MD5 files extract the AP file with 7z and copied boot.img on to sdcard
Installed MagicalMmanager-7 used it to patch the boot.img to a tar file
Copied the boot image to my pc desktop then flashed the boot with odin
When I booted it back up magisk manager kept crashing so I uninstalled it and installed magiskmanager-5.23 rebooted it opened magisk and followed the prompts to update it

Hello there.
I have tried to patch my boot.img but when I put into a .tar and flash it, it doesn't flash, it's just stuck on file analysis despite being able to flash other files. Would you be able to send me a copy of your boot.img, thanks.

Unfortunately I have not found a solution. Please notify me if you find one.
here is a copy of my boot.img after flashing this you will get a verification problem and you will have to reset your phone if it bootloops into recovery or starts to update and says no command take battery out put it back in and boot it again or boot in to odin mode and push down and boot it eventually it will boot in to recovery then factory reset it. first boot may take 5-10 minutes
my software version is J250GDXU2ARD3_J250GXSA2ARD3_XSA

Hey, sorry for the late response. Everything is working fine! I now have superuser abilities but everytime I try to flash my recovery with TWRP it just loads the stock recovery. I even tried removing certain files from the root folder to avoid the stock recovery being flashed but it hasn't worked.
Any idea? Ps. You are a life saver my man.

glad i could help and i don't think there is an official twrp for this device here is one i ported a couple things still don't work mtp and sideload but it's not really usable until someone ports a rom due to the data encryption which you have to format to be able to flash anything

Would anyone help me get root on doogee bl 12000? This is a version without a pro so this is a different topic than this one.
No kingoroot or framaroot programs work.

I also tried to upload files via flashtoola and recovery. However, without success.
Root Doogee BL12000
Hallo there. I'm trying to root my Bl12000. I've got a TWRP from twrp builder. It works, but whatever zip file I'm trying to install I always get "failed to mount data", invalid argument. The twrp also tells me, that there's bo OS installed, but there is. Phone is working fine after reboot. SuperSu can't be installed. Full wipe is not possible, also "failed to mount" and so on.
any help ?

I think it's the encryption. Any ideas how to remove it?
Installed twrp via fastboot and sp flash tool, but I can't boot phone into it. Searched dozens of sites, no success. Flashed the twrp again with sp flash tool and according to sp it was successful. I tried several ways to boot the phone into it afterwards, no luck
My goal is to root this phone only. I'm not very experienced so if anyone could please give me a hand here and tell me where or what I'm doing wrong, that'd would be great and much appreciated. Thanks.
Ok. If I flash the twrp with Sp flash tool and type "fastboot reboot" on the adb console, sending the command while I hold vol+ and power-, the phone boots into the twrp. Next time it will be gone, so I have to flash it again. Noticed that, done.
But all this is taking me nowhere, because the encryption still prevents me from installing any zip file or format a partition. Yuck ?
Root Bl12000
Since the SuperSu method took me nowhere I decided to try Magisk. And.......HURRAY !!!!!!.......it worked.....for a moment. Booted the patched boot.img and got superuser. But with the first reboot I got stuck in bootloop. Tried again, in case I missed something, but same ****.
IT WORKS !!!!! My mistake was to assume, that Magisk works the same way as rooting with SuperSu does. So after rooting with Magisk I tried to install root apps as I was used to, but Magisk does not work that way.
Well, it'll take me awhile to figure this out ?
Why does an app keep coming back on my phone after I have done factory reset?

This Recovery is only supported for Doogee BL12000
You should have either PC or Laptop.
Make sure to charge your phone for at least 50%.
Download and install latest Doogee USB Drivers on your PC/Laptop [All Android USB Drivers]
Download the SP Flash Tool Software
VCOM driver: Download – Instal the VCOM Driver on your computer (still compatible with MT67xx phones)
Before flashing a custom recovery, you need to unlock the bootloader on Doogee BL12000
Take a full backup just in case if you need it later

Hello,
A long time ago my brother has done something more stupid – had made root in Sony Xperia Z2 with TWRP, using the latest version of Sirius. As he has bought his new mobile phone, he has given me his old mobile phone, but he was not interested in formatting, de-rooting or fixing the bug of AudioFX, then I decided to work on my own. I made a lot of researches about how to fix the bug of AudioFX, so no luck.
As I wanted to de-root, I had to use my friend and sister's computers with Windows, using Kingo Root, because I am a Linux user, but no luck.
Then I downloaded the original and de-rooted image from TWRP, booted into TWRP mode, and flashed that image into Recovery. After, I could not boot any more. I tried to press power and Volume - and Volume +, but I could not boot either. I plugged the mobile phone into my laptop with Linux, but it was not recognised.
I read the following topics of XDA Developers, trying to train myself, but no luck:
1. Problem with TWRP 3.0.2 and encryption to solve boot loop
2.. [Q] Flashtool tool failed after amss_fsg.sin, can't flash phone
3. Downgrade to KitKat?
4. Unknown firmware, no boot, I can't flash
5. I can not flash!
6. Boot loop after flashing any ROM
7. To flash the recover Rebooting into TWRP recovery ... adb is not recognized

Sounds like you just soft bricked your device. ?
As far as i know it's easily fixable.
I might be able to help you out with few more info. ✌
Was it a 3G one or a LTE one ?
What rom were you on ?
A custom one or stock one ?
And what exactly do you want to achieve ? A stock rom with no root ? ?

An original ROM without root. I know a de-rooted and rooted Android 7 and 8 cause AudioFX bugs.
Can You still boot into twrp ?
If so did you try flashing a stock rom via a zip ?
Or you can use the fastboot but i won't be much of a help unless you have a windows pc ,i'm not familiar with Linux ?

Did you install the fastboot unsigned drivers as + ADB ?
Whole process should be something like this
Disable windows driver signature enforcement.
[URL="https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...igned-drivers/"][/URL]
Restart your pc or laptop.
Install ADB.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE&authuser=0
Install flashtool-0.9.18.6 with all the drivers.
(For some reason this is the most compatible one for Xperia Z2)
Then try flash twrp recovery using the flashtool. ✌
I just bought a Nuu R1 Rugged Phone. It has Oreo 8.1.0 on it.
It is an "unlocked" phone. But I don't know if unlocked refers to the phone carrier or to the boot loader. (I'm thinking phone carrier.)
The last I rooted my tablets was Android 5, which required using a custom script that a dev here wrote that temporarily ran CW via fast boot.
I would like to root my R1. I hear now that Magisk is the way to go. (Instead of SU.)
Most every Guide says that I have to have TWRP installed before installing Magisk. But there's no TWRP for the R1. And I am incapable of compiling my own.
I learned, from Nuu Tech Support, that I can get into the phone's Recovery mode with some hidden button pushes. Here's a screen shot:
My first question is, could I simply install Magisk by selecting "Update from SD card"?
If it's not that easy, then, second: I can also get to a fastboot screen. (Not shown here.) Could I install Magisk from ADB on my computer?
I suppose a third question: Is there a version of TWRP that's compatible with this phone? And if so, how do I find it? It would be nice to have a Nandroid backup.
I am willing to show various screens that come up from various button pushes if that would help a dev here.
More data for TWRP'ing
So, I see that one needs an image of the OEM ROM to compile TWRP. I found two sites on the web that claim to have the ROM. (Before the R1 was officially released.) Sounds sketchy. Will try to get an image from Tech Support.
In the meantime, I found that the bootloader can be unlocked (or allowed to be unlocked) via a setting under Developer Options.
I contacted Nuu Mobile Support and they were kind to send me the MediaTek USB drivers for the R1.
It was a two step process to get the driver installed for ADB. But now I have access to the R1 via ADB.
I read here on the forums that I can boot TWRP via fastboot, and not risk ruining/corrupting the R1's Recovery Partition.
Anyone know of a TWRP model version that's close enough to work on the R1? (I presume a TWRP for another MediaTek device might work?)
I would hate to try KingRoot to get root.
I found a website called unofficialtwrp.com. It has a TWRP for the MediaTek 6739, running Oreo 8.1, with 16/2 GB. That's exactly what the Nuu Mobile R1 has.
So, hopeful that this would allow me to root my R1, I tried it. (Short version: Didn't work.)
I already had ADB installed and could talk to my R1 via ADB.
But once the R1 had booted into fastboot mode via ADB, I got a message from fastbood devices that it was "waiting."
I learned that that message means that I didn't have drivers for fastboot.
I ended up installing a fresh version of Win8.1 and using the Windows' updater to find the needed drivers. I had to have the R1 plugged in to the USB in fastboot mode for this to work. After that, I could talk to the device via the fastboot command.
So I unlocked the boot loader (which wiped my data - not every Guide warns you about that) and I did "fastboot boot recovery.img."
I got the message that the recovery file had transferred. After abotu 15 seconds, the phone rebooted. But no TWRP.
Rats.
I didn't want to try the fastboot flash command in case this unoffiical twrp from an unofficial site bricked my phone. If I understand things correctly, booting in fastboot to the recovery.img should give me a temporary instance of TWRP.
Presumably, after copying Magisk into memory, I would be able to get root that way.

Whoa you have been busy you must've heard XDA helps those who help themselves.. :highfive:
I just dropped by to say, 1st rule of modding is taking a pristine stock backup..
For MTK devices, there is a tool called SP Flash Tools, a quick search will help you take a full backup using this tool.
Afterward, you can even try using SP Flash Tools to flash a Magisk patched boot image to your device for ROOT!
Hope this helps!
Thanks. I did see SP Flash Tools mentioned and I did take a look at it. While I've rooted before, I'm trying to get my head around a Scatter File.
Everything I've read so far - well, almost everything - says that I need TWRP to get Magisk installed. But if you think it can be done via SP Flash Tools, I'll start playing with it.
Root nuu r1
Did u ever manage to figure out how to do this & get TWRP to install? :fingers-crossed:
