Dude my son is with my wife. I will get her to send me a photo if possible. I have been a member of the XDA developer Community for years since the HTC Evo 4G. Trust me when I say my son's phone has the update to marshmallow it has. I did the update for him myself it has Android 6.0.1. The service provided for his phone is T-Mobile. Remember Alcatel sells this phone through AT&T Cricket line so I'm quite sure they have a real serious reason to update this model especially since it is now sold by a nationwide service provider.

You actually don't need root to install TWRP.
In order to root the Idol 3 we had to unlock the bootloader,install TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

So, to get back to stock I only have to restore one of the stock backups in this thread through TWRP. Is it that simple or am I missing something?

Cool. Can you please kindly link me to the boot loader unlock?
Also, hopefully this new 6.0.1 didn't prevent the existing bootloader method from working!

sweet now we need a TWRP backup and bam!

Here is the link for everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-alcatel-t3161878 about unlocking bootloader

Was shocked when I saw it pop up on my phone around noon.

Any possibility of you getting the ROM backed up so we can try to flash it?

5.5 or 4.7 version of the phone??

encrypted device, any ideas?
So the update.zip gets downloaded fine, but since my device is encrypted, it winds up unable to be seen by the automatic updater or in recovery mode as the various drives are not visible.
Any ideas (other than a factory reset) on how to solve this?
Thanks,

Boo I have cricket so I guess I have to wait

Idol 3 Update MTP issues
I updated my phone earlier today and now it won't connect to my Windows 10 computer thru the MTP option. I even with thru the Developer and selected/unselected/reselected it and my laptop still won't see it. All I see is a file with drivers. I haven't rooted, and won't, my phone. Any suggestions out there on how to fix this? BTW when updating to Android 6.0.1 it made me format my SD card, so I lost all my music but thought it wasn't a big deal since I'd upload it back to my phone, but now I can't. I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks!

my first impression of the le pro 3(us version)

So I've been using this phone so far since Tuesday and while it's not as smooth as the pixel imo, it still runs pretty smooth. Even more so after the update i just got today. I did an unboxing & first impression video with my thoughts on it here:

Thank you for sharing. Someone said he could unlock his bootloader after the update. Can you please verify if that's true?

It's temporary and after a reboot unlocks. I believe they are trying to gain root still by flashing SuperSU before it relocks

OnePlus 3T slow start!

wasn't root and bootloader unlocked done by now when the OP3 was released, seems like dev is slow on this product, yeah its only been a couple days, but it was already done for the OP3 before i even got mine

Nobody has to get that done. It's already done. Fastboot OEM unlock unlocks the bootloader. And root with SuperSu or phh superuser. All we really need is TWRP.

lol u r correct, i forgot about that, i guess just have to wait on a TWRP then.

TWRP is actually waiting on you.
Join #twrp and you'll have it. (see signature for link, or click here)
Basically, we don't have the crypto libraries needed for decrypt because OnePlus hasn't made 3T firmware available yet.
I want you to install a half-working build of TWRP and guide you through making a full firmware flashing backup so I can use that to complete support.
Hop, skip, get to it!
(and no, you will get nothing good out of waiting for someone else to step up)
PS. if you post here saying you will come if no one else does, all you're doing is stopping other people from assisting
Update 1:42 AM EST: no one's showed up yet so I can only assume not many people have received their device yet. i'm gonna take a nap now and i'll be back on in ~10 hours... so about 12 PM EST maybe later. you won't find me online before then. (that's 5 PM UTC+0)

If he doesn't get on there soon and I have my device, I will help you out.

I would love the opportunity to help. Just waiting on the damn delivery....Tuesday. :crying:

I can help assuming I don't bootloop my device or brick it. It's my daily.
Already unlocked the bootloader so PM me if you need help
Edit: I'm having issues joining the channel hence why I am posting here

You need to be registered, you can join #jcadduonoisawesome or just /msg jcadduono hi I'll be awake for the next 20 minutes I guess.
You could also just choose a name you want, type /ns register <password> <email address>, then click link in email and be able to join any channel on IRC you like.
No risk.
Update: aaand 20 minutes is up, g'night.

nope, you can probably also just make a rooted boot.img to flash with fastboot but why bother when twrp is much easier?

I was thinking, is it possible to do 'fastboot update supersu.zip' first, then backup all the partition first before doing anything. At a minimum you should be able to backup the recovery and rom partition so you can't screw up too bad, since there is no ROM image and official TWRP at the moment.

I'm about 100% percent sure that won't work. I would wait for TWRP.

thanks to @dustin_b twrp is almost complete, I have backup images stored at https://build.nethunter.com/misc/oneplus3T/partitions/ for now which should work through fastboot flash (100% stock, untouched, all dd copies)
should have a public TWRP image up in an hour or 2

I hope that we will see CM14.1 in a week or two. Oxygen OS is a mess full of security bugs.

Cool so root and twrp tonight

New-Phone Some Assistance please?

Well hello good sir or mam!
I seem to be in quite the pickle, but i hope you can help
You see, i just bought this phone on amazon and will be arriving in two days. I read the review and the hardware is amazing but the software makes you want to question why haven't murdered a tub of puppies.
The cute kind. :angel:
Well I want to put Lineage OS 15.1 on there. But i haven't the faintest idea how...
WAIT! Hold that mouse! I know what your about to do.
I have searched the forums and watched tons of you-tube videos but none say how to do it properly or the guy talks with such a accent i cant understand him.
So can someone post like a super noob guide for me.
All i know is that i want a new OS but no idea on how to get it.
:highfive:I look forward to your assistance. :highfive:
Please and thank you!

If you have no clue about ROM management, better read instructions on our forum 2-3 times! You can soft brick it really easy, if you dont know what to do..
For LOS you need:
Custom Recovery (TWRP)
Unlocked bootloader
LOS ROM

Their are forms on this already.
What pro3 are you getting?

That's for the x722. Just don't flash stock 26s through TWRP. Not difficult to understand. Doesn't apply to other versions of the Pro3 like the x720 or x727.

OK, so, how do i tell if mine is a x722 or not. i looked on the amazon page and it didnt give the info.
Also what is "Stock 26" and how do i avoid it?

I do, i got the abd and fastboot files needed, and i also changed the address on the advanced setting option on my computer

I always put the files like twrp on my desktop.then before I flash the file I will change directory to Desktop then flash it.

Look on the box, in the manual, at the back of the phone. The easiest way to tell is if you've got a Snapdragon 821 or not. If you do, you have an x720 (or x727, which is the U.S. version).

has anybody that's rooted gotten Viper4android working?

Has anybody that's rooted gotten Viper4android working?
I'm using the T-Mobile edition and applied for my unlock bin yesterday but plan on rooting once I unlock the bootloader, I read that some people were having issues and I wanted to see if somebody was able to successfully install it and possibly the steps they used in order to install it. I'm tired if carrying around 3 phones everyday (personal,work,rooted ZTE Zmax that's seen better days)
