I have an alcatel one touch fire e (FFOS version 2.0), and I am trying to root it. I successfully flashed an CWM recovery image to recovery, and attempted to sideload a SuperSu binary (I was following this guide: http://blog.vosnax.ru/2015/04/27/Rooting-an-Alcatel-Fire-E-6015x/ ) After I did that, i still didn't have root access (which according to that guide I should have after running su) I proceeded with pulling the boot.img (and some other img files) from my device, and unpacked the boot.img, changed the default.prop and repacked it, I tested it, and it worked (as in the phone booted normally, but no root access), I flashed it. And now I still don't get root access, not from using su (it doesn't say command not found or anything, it just doesn't seem to do anything at all), or adb root. My default.prop file shows the following: andrew@Andrew-Gentoo ~/Downloads $ adb shell busybox cat default.prop # # ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES # ro.secure=0 ro.allow.mock.location=0 ro.debuggable=1 persist.sys.strict_op_enable=false persist.sys.whitelist=/system/etc/whitelist_appops.xml persist.sys.usb.config=none andrew@Andrew-Gentoo ~/Downloads $ adb shell shell@msm8610:/ $ su 1|shell@msm8610:/ $ What did I miss, I thought the only thing I had to do was change ro.secure? EDIT: I do have root access in recovery mode
