Root 6045y with android 6.0.1

[Cioscos]

Hi! I want to root this device but I've read that with MM the bootloader is locked... then, how can I root my 6045Y with MM?
Could someone write me a complete guide or link me a well done? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
sorry english is not my native language.
Assuming you have a pc with windows,

1°) install alcatel drivers from your phone.
Download alcatel flasher
Download TWRP 3.1.1
Download SuperSU.
2°)put supersu on the phone sdcard
3°)reboot your phone in download mode (you have to press volUP + volDOWN during boot, it will bring you to the download mode page, press wolUP then). And plug-it to your pc.
4°)launch alcatel flasher

-Select your model (1).
-click on detect (3).
-click on NPRG (4).
-click on Get GPT (5).
-in partition table (10) look for the recovery partition (#27 on my phone).
- double-click on the checkbox (11) to select it.
-double click on the file field of this partition (12) and validate.
-click on read (7). it will make a backup of your recovery.
-double click on the file field of the partition again (12) and select your TWRPxxx.img .
-click on write (8)

5°)reboot on twrp
press volUP while the phone is booting to launch twrp.
6°) install super su
Select "install", select super-su zip, swipe to install and TADA your phone is now rooted

This part didn't work for me.
I still have the same recovery, not TWRP.

[edit] Hm weird... After a few tries, without changing any setting (??!) it finally worked, i am on TWRP recovery now

[edit] Rebooted. And i'm back to normal recovery again. What is happening?

 

[ecozturk]

OK. I was able to install TWRP. It is still there when i reboot in recovery mode.
I then installed superSU from SD card. Wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.
Now i am stuck, the phone won't boot. It is not exactly looping, but it is stuck on the "Alcatel onetouch <-> smart move" white animation... and not going forward at all

Hi
Here my experience with this method : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75479341&postcount=109
I managed to boot again, using Mobile Upgrade Q.

I found this on reddit

Download Decker's Sahara and Firehose (Alcatel Flasher), latest SuperSU and appropriate TWRP for your model (see xda). Follow the instructions on Decker's website to flash TWRP (to be safe backup the stock recovery partition first). Launch TWRP and make sure to mount /system only as read NOT rw. From TWRP's terminal type "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" and then flash SuperSU zip. Reboot and you're rooted. Tested on my 6045Y. If you have questions pm me.

Seems to bring some modifications to the step 6°)

What do u think ?

Those were the instructions I used to get systemless root on the stock Alcatel MM and regain fastboot which enabled me to flash with Lineage.
But this was before the latest "update" from Alcatel that users have been saying has stopped them from rolling back the adware on the system apps.

I'm running Ubuntu. Is there a way that I can do it with adb and fastboot?
