I have just purchased this phone from straight talk cannot find anything on it alcatel onetouch pixi glory. Any kind of assistance would be nice thank you.
looking in to device now. I have it as well and most searches regardless of using "Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glory A621BL" or any other search variant on name and model usually point to other pixi or Alcatel variants. King Root does not work. Nor does a number of other methods I have tried. Wait and see game at this point
Great. Thats what i have spent the last hour trying to do. UGH
boot loader not only locked but inaccessible via fastboot. all fastboot attempts to enter fastboot mode just reboots the device. some research in to qualcomm msm8909 means this turd has locked the boot loader down simply by crippling it to standard command set that fastboot uses. button combos to enter fastboot just reboot the device. It is highly unlikely this device will ever even see root must less an unlocked boot loader. avoid future alcatel devices as even older devices that had a working boot loader are now getting updates which kick it down. tcl/alcatel is a **** company for going this route.
Same thing with Pixi 4(5) I've tried every methods out there. bootloader doesn't work
Is there any update on rooting these yet? I have tried kingo, srs, oneclick, framaroot, and none of them yet. Hoping this happens soon, thanks.
bootloafer unlocked. still need rooting app that works
If you guys haven't figured it out by now you can access the bootloader by unlocking developer options in your settings. I've had this phone for a year now and I'm still trying to find a way to root it. Is there a rooting app out there that works on this type of phone it's an Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glory A621BL from TracFone
I too have experienced the exact same things none of the rooting software seems to work. I'm now looking for a replacement phone that has 7 and can run apps from sd card

Okay, so, it turns out that I'm the last person in the world to find out that Verizon decided to make the point of owning an Android null and keep the bootloader on the HTCD530 lock fiveever. The very important OEM unlocking option doesn't appear under developer options. After talking to both Verizon AND HTC, I got a bunch of people who a.) barely spoke English coherently, and b.) had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. So I got no help there. Is it even POSSIBLE to somehow reveal the OEM unlocking option on this device, or has Verizon disappointed me after not even being with them for 24 hours?
Same way as I wrote here.
Only problem is that you need a temporary root to write to the FRP partition.
If someone can figure out how to write to the frp partition then follow my thread here.

Well please let me know if someone figures something out.

I wish I'd seen this before I went out and just bought one.
This is not ok.
#VerizonSucks
So still no root possible for vzw version?
Yeah, I escalated this quite high within HTC - and they told me it's not possible. Reading between the lines, Verizon have contractually enforced clauses to remove this option.
anyone tried doing it with fastboot?
Same as other things install the correct driver on the PC and then install the SDK tools with ABD and Fastboot. Within the SDK tools is the ABD and Fastboot exe. Open a Command Prompt within that folder and run fastboot exe and then connect the phone to the PC via the cable and then on the command prompt type fastboot devices and make sure it shows up. once it does type fastboot oem unlock. It will erase all data on the phone. Select Fastboot reboot and then test to see if bootloader is unlocked.
Yeah tbh I'm never using Verizon again, I don't care how much money I'm saving. Their reps are trash, either that, or they're flat out liars. First they told me I could use a GSM unlocked phone with their service (Can't, didn't find that out until I drove to the store to get a SIM, had to get this replacement piece of trash instead, which is the entire reason I have it and not my good rooted BLU phone) Then they said I'd be able to root it quite easily as it's an HTC device (an obvious lie now that I know better.) As soon as my contract is over, I'm switching back to AT&T and telling them exactly why. Disabling rooting on an Android is like putting handcuffs on every person who isn't going to jail. Kind of defeats the purpose of having an Android in the first place.
Like I said before, It is able to be rooted unlocked and S-off. Even Verizon.
I have done this to a few HTC Desire 526. The unlock option in developer options is missing but its only a matter of changing the very last 00 in the FRP partition to a 01. After that your still stuck because even though you will be able to generate the unlock token the HTC DEV Site will reject the Verizon CID.
I have analyzed all of the usual HTC Partitions and can tell you the difference in being Unlocked + S-off is the data that is on the pg2fs , sec, and maybe 1 other partition. I made a image of my s-off 526 and burned it to a SD Card. When put into another device it boots off the sd card and keeps s-off permissions. It's basically running the S-off as the partitions are being read from the sd.
I still need to do some work on this. But i believe I am on to something. To see a totally locked down verizon phone boot and show s-off with the right sd card in it is a promising prospect.
Any updates on this? I bought this device when I was on USA for summer trip, then I came to Mexico and find out that I can only use voice & text but no data because the APN's configurations don't accept other than Verizon's... In order to change that I need to be rooted, but can't root because of Verizon being restrictive with all this things... Any ideas on how can I use my phone completely here in Mexico?
Same here!
I am in the same boat! i hope someone will find something out
So basically, I have a Verizon note 4 with permanent root. I bought it second hand and it came with permanent root, but the problem is that I have no idea if it has an unlocked bootloader or not . It doesn't have any custom recovery on it aswell. But then it gets me to question how the heck did it get a Permanent ROOT without getting an unlocked bootloader. Oh and i also don't get shown a verizon logo when i reboot my device, only a samsung logo. And i live in South Asia btw, and can run a local
sim with 3g on it no problem as well....
Also worth mentioning is that on "About Device" in "Settings", it says SM-910F...but when i go to fastboot mode, it says SM-910V, and when i connect it to computer, it also says verizon model. Anyways, the real problem is finding out if my phone has bootloader or not. (READ BELOW ASWELL)
Any suggestions plez
PS: I tried to put a code in the dialer, something like *#*#7432XXXX*#*# (tried a lot of diff. codes in dialers aswell). PLUS, I also tried finding if i had an unlocked bootloader from adb and fast boot where u put this command in; "fastboot oem device-info" something like that, but I cant get "fastboot devices" to work (it doesn't give any result even with proper usb drivers and while in fastboot menu from phone) :crying: plez halp me....

Put it into download mode and see if it says, mode: Developer. If it does your bootloader is unlocked

Well it doesn't say so ... sadly.
Anyways, I'm still wondering how the heck did someone install permanent root without unlocking this Verizon??? Like you have to do temporary root and then you unlock bootloader, and then you do perm root... how does one bypass that?
Need help here!
Bought an XL via eBay. Found that it's been flashed anyhow. And I can't root/flash ROM or even unlock the bootloader.
Now below is the situation:
1. It's a Verizon, XL, 128GB.
2. It's locked. And OEM unlocking in developer options is GREY.
3. It's stuck in Android O (Opp3.170518.006).
4. dePixel8 doesn't work. Every time I entered the commands "adb shell /data/local/tmp/dePixel8", it ended up with an error.
5. Because of 1., I can't flash TWRP or any bootloader.
I've heard of so-called "FRP Unlock Tool". But it seemed only working on 7.1.2 below and is considered risky for 8.0.
Though 8.0_DP3 is 90% perfect for daily use, I still want to take a chance. But the question is HOW?

The only time you could unlock the bootloader on a Verizon Pixel XL was before the operating system updated to Android 7.1.1. Android 7.1.1 was patched so the dePixel8 exploit would no longer work and nobody has found a new way to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon models since then. If you want to downgrade from Android O I think your only option is to deregister your phone from the Android Beta Program. Eventually you will get an OTA that will downgrade your phone back to Nougat but it will also completely wipe your phone including the user data and stored files. You will be starting over from scratch and have to download your user apps again. Unless someone comes up with a new exploit you will not be able to unlock the bootloader or custom flash anything on that phone.
If you wanted to unlock bootloader/flash roms/root etc... you should've come here first to check, then checked with the seller on ebay.
however, your options are:
1) put up with phone in stock (it's really not that bad - which is why development isn't into multiple pages of current roms)
2) sell it and get a google version rather than Verizon
Is this phone impossible to root or is there just a lack of interest in figuring out a way to unlock the bootloader? I love this phone but really miss the freedom I had on previous devices to install certain apps and run different roms. I've never had a device that has been out this long without a root available.
I guess what I'm asking is if I should consider going to a different device if there isn't a way to unlock the bootloader in sight or stick it out because it'll happen in the near future.

So far, no way to root it yet, I am stuck on the Sprint G7 myself and currently fighting with Sprint to allow me to swap to another device. I know it wont work but at least I am voicing my dissatisfaction of this device with the lack of timely updates (still on November security). If I had known now when I went to Sprint back then, I would have never chosen the LG G7. The phone itself is decent, hardware is good but lack of root, lack of bootloader unlock, and lack of timely updates make the device unusable in my opinion.
I personally am hoping I or someone else can find an exploit for ROOT and eventually bootloader but so far, not much traction has been made in that department.
I have a g710pm, running Android 8.0.0
I see in developer options there is a selection that says, "Enable OEM Unlock" wouldn't that unlock the bootloader?

Nope it will not limited fast boot won't let you run the command its basically useless
You can take a look at my post, there are all the models in my country to unlock BL and ROOT, but only in the hands of a few people, they do not intend to share this, and through this to get benefits, they provide remote unlocking and ROOT services , but need to pay, which is expensive for me, I don't know English, sorry, the reply is translated by Google...
Hey everyone! As I had said earlier, the rumors are true, most G7 variants can be bootloader unlocked. I searched many Chinese websites that had already shown rooted G7 phones but showed no clear methods besides "remote unlock services". Now the method is known! The engineering bootloader from a very unique AT&T V35 V35AWM model (abl_a and abl_b) is flashed via an Octoplus box on the G7 when in QDLoader 9008 mode. This guy from Ukraine motogvasyag posted his methods on 4pda.ru and are now on XDA here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/to-unlock-bootloader-root-models-t3928505
Please check out the thread, and do donate if you can. He is doing these Octoplus flashes for free.
**This method won't work on T-Mobile model (G710TM and others). I'll still be on the lookout for any T-Mobile methods.**
Hello everyone thank you for your time it's been a couple days i'm doing reasearch on how to root my galaxy S9 (canadian) and i'm hitting a wall everytime and some post a far too old to be considered.
So my question is without the OEM unlock option in developper options am i doomed to not being able to root my phone ?
And yes i tried the trick with setting the date manually one month earlier but anyway my phone is more than 1 year old so i'm way past the 7 days delay.
Isn't there a way to unlock it with a computer via USB debugging mode ? ( juste an idea like that i know pretty much nothing)
Any clear answer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time
OEM Unlock option is pretty much like the gate to unlock your boot loader
if your phone doesn't have the option then that could be cause by some factors like,
- either you can't unlock (I believe there are few versions that factory lock which mean cant be unlocked)
- or you have faied to modify your phone, which you have to wait like 7 days to be able to modify again
That all I know, maybe anyone can correct me if I'm wrong

okay i understand more what OEM does thank so as long as i can't unlock it from the inside no modification can come from the outside
You should read through this thread. It has some options that may interest you. The Canadian SM-G960W S9 is definitely boot loader locked that makes it "normally" not able too install any custom ROMs or boot loaders. The good thing with it is that it doesn't trip KNOX!
