Rooting The TCL 10L

Is it possible?

re:
I believe it is possible with the Magisk boot,img patch method for rooting. However, I haven't easily found any stock firmware for it, but I did just get this phone and haven't had time yet to look or to dump the firmware off the device.. I can verify the oneclick root apps like Kingoroot, king root, etc are all a fail.

hey, my friend if you do find a way to get those img files please upload them here ive been going crazy trying to find them and so far absolutely nothing but static, very disappointing i was under the impression that this phone would be customization central any help would be extremely appreciated thank you

i only bought this phone because of a google comparison search i made with XDA search result completely misguided if XDA can plz do what you can to help me with this problem i kinda feel like i got it coming considering

Looking for root too!

So am I. How can I help?

If anyone continue searching I find this https://www.thenextdroid.com/root-tcl-10l-without-pc-via-magisk/ it says the on-click apps do work, I don't try yet but if someone try and it works tell us please

Many have we've all failed

I've been wanting to root my phone for sometime but I also failed so I decided to be proactive and emailed TCL Mobile Care to get the firmware or the kernel sources but they aren't cooperating with me.
You can read more on my Reddit post about it if you want.
I've filed a Violation of GNU License today and I'll figure how to report it to Google, but I doubt a single report will do much.
Hopefully it'll take us a step closer to being able to root it.
Edit: I'm a idiot the source code is at sourceforge

Today found this,
https://romprovider.com/tcl-10l-t770-firmware-support/ maybe that helps for the oem firmware. Bought that phone 5 day ago and try to find a solution to root it to.

It's been mentioned in a post on TCL10 pro, much more active than this one and unfortutantly that flash file tool doesn't have the full firmware in it.

Unfortunately there's none at the moment. TCL is very against it and made it quite difficult to unlock the bootloader.
Since it's so difficult I've been asking daily on their twitter accounts for the past month for a way to unlock it since they just ignore everyone who contacts their mobile support asking for a way do to it.
The best I got from them so far was a "thanks for your suggestion" type of message, 2 TCL accounts blocked me but I've created more accounts to spam them.
They replied to me today but I'm skeptical that they'll do anything.

Question bootloader on android 12

hi. i got interested in this phone and seems to have decent rom support. since the last update i have some doubts with unlocking bootloader:
first, people is panicking this update broke many things, and users are not sure bootloader is unlockable anymore. this is a must for me, please confirm me if that got ruined for this update or still works.
second, people also mentions about a code and i'm confused. the pinned guide says is as simple as one command, but users report they are being requested an special code the phone gives you. chow does this work? if i want to get the phone from a previous owner would it mean i can't access that code? what oneplus asks for exactly?
thanks for your time

I don't know what code you are talking about. Just follow the guide, be sure what you are doing and be sure how to get things right if something is going south.

ok, THIS i want to talk now.
can you please explain under what conditions is won't be unlocable or what oems don't allow it?
this has the upmost importance to me. its super important it being possible to unlock. the phones that dont allow it, is it because updates, fabrication region, time they were made or other factors?

I couldn't tell you all the OEM's that wouldn't allow unlocking, I think T-Mobile in the US is one but mine (from Three UK) isn't limited in that way.
If you reboot to bootloader and run "fastboot oem unlock" after enabling that setting above and it fails then your bootloader is locked by oem

Generally, if the phone is SIM-locked the "OEM Unlocking" will be greyed-out and you can't toggle it until you SIM-unlock your phone.
On T-Mobile, for example, once you SIM-unlock the phone, you run a command in Fastboot to get your phones unlock code.
Once you have your bootloader's unlock code, you submit a request on OnePlus' Unlock Token page.
Devices bought directly from OnePlus should be unlockable out of the box.
Hope this helps!

Thers is no deep testing app released for realme c21
Instead you can use mtkclient.
Steps are explained there as noob friendly, but you can still ask here when you stuck.

There is also a rooting method.
Can I do it without unlocking the bootloader?
if that was a stupid question please forgive me

@Zartazor
One of the steps is erasing the data.
The rooting method is same as general method, but you are going to flash boot image through mtkclient instead of fastboot.
I did process via unlocking bootloader, so i not sure about rooting without unlocked bootloader.

Glad to hear you succeed, enjoy your rooted phone

Further to this, any bootloader unlock will wipe devices. As a new person to rooting and bootloader unlocking, search the forums, but you will always find any process if bootloader, flashing rom, even twrp flash. It is always common sense as well as just good practice to back up your data, because these processes do not always work 100% the same for everyone on everyone with the same deviice.
This is because new people flashing phones don't realise that a small shuttle difference could have different firmware parameters even though both realme c21.

We've been here for a few months, when something new is done, of course the appropriate thread will be opened here and everyone will be able to access it when a new content out.

We have a work in progress recovery. Please read the forums you are posting in an stop doubling up questions on multiple threads, as this is against XDA rules.

Brother, I'm not that old. My dad brought me a phone and this Phone is all I have. If I flash it and something goes wrong I will be screwed.
I'm a new member of XDA family and I don't know how they work exactly.
Please forgive me if I made any mistake.
Sorry...

It's all part of learning. Luckily androids are near impossible to kill.
But as a new member read the XDA rules as well as read the other posts before asking.

If you were backed up(read partition) every partition using mtkclient, than you just can recover your device through backup.

Question LE2127 Bootloader unlock issues and ROM flash

It's been 9 years since I last did anything like this and resources seem a bit scattered so I would like a push in the right direction to get my phone where I want.
My phone is on LE2127_11_f.27 and want to unlock the bootloader, install twrp, and flash Lineage OS but I'm running into an issue with bootloader unlocking.
The device is carrier unlocked and I have a token file provided from oneplus but it doesnt seem to be working.
OEM unlocking is on but I get this error when trying to unlock it.

Im guessing the file they sent me is wrong because I had to communicate with customer support as my serial number was 7 digits long as opposed to 8 digits.
With this in mind, Ive also seen posts saying I don't need to have a token to unlock.
Should I use magisk to unlock it instead? Are there advantages/disadvantages to it? (it being a dependency, adding a safety net, etc.)
Finally, what should I do in what order? I can figure out the details of execution but I want to make sure everything will go smoothly.

How old is the phone? You should not have been able to get an unlock token with only 7 digits in a serial number. Been there and done that. Again how old is the phone?

Also did you buy the phone from T-Mobile, and is TMO your cell carrier? I can get you where you need to be, but need the information.

I can link you to a TMO to GLO MSM Tool, then you can unlock bootloader without a token, then install lineageOS, install TWRP and magisk.

I will give you the link for the MSM Tool to convert you from TMO to GLO Thursday because until then I will be on the road. It will convert your TMO to GLO so you can unlock the bootloader. Patience!

If you don't want root, you don't have to root to install LineageOS.

I will have it for you Wednesday!

In the meantime, disable driver signing on PC, reboot PC, download the latest OnePlus and Qualcomm USB drivers and install them and then reboot PC. Then you will be ready to convert the phone!

Thank you.

My power button is not working. Is there any command to exit from edl mode?

yes there is. but edl itself has a timeout, so it won't accept commands
