This is going to be pretty long and have had the problem for months so please bear with me, read and see if you could assist.
Borrowed a friends Nexus S a while back. Used it for a few days, turned it on one day and it stays on the black google screen with the open padlock at the bottom
I am able to enter Fastboot mode is shown in image 2; lock state is unlocked.
I followed the instructions as in post 2 on the following thread

Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...e-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/re...0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...68&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.
Someone else wrote down the same instructions if mine are not clear enough: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1785672

This prevented me from putting the stock image on the sdcard for flashing via CWM.
is there another way i can get this working, maybe via fastboot or via ODIN so i can return my friends phone.
Thank you.
Hi I had this problem to, mine was from a bad flash / bad firmware.
First I suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284670 better recovery.
After from recovery
select factory reset, wipe cache, and from advance wipe dalvic cache.
then select mount usb, copy to card slim bean 3.1.0 http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/465-crespo/2505-slim-ns-3-1-0-official plus gaps http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/461-addonsfullpackages-412/2501-aio-addons, flash them in this order.
After first boot and config u can use http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ to write the OEM firmware.
Sorry this didn't work because nothing can be written to system and the sdcard is still not able to mount

I'm not tech savvy when it comes to Android and I need some help to root my teen's Motorola Moto E 2015, preferably today.
I need to root it to then disable the guest account, so that when I install the ScreenTime app my son can't bypass it by using the guest account. That's a shortcoming of ScreenTime.
I read a bit about ROMs and would like to use CyanogenMod.
But other than my choice of ROM, I haven't found what I believe to be reliable instructions on what to do now step by step. I really do need idiot-proof step by step instructions.
Is there a super Android geek here who has time to take me through the process or offer advice and links to such sources?
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Try the thread linked below, there is a YouTube video in the first post that walks you through rooting your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/root-moto-e-2015-t3086819
If you have further questions about your device, try posting your questions in the forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help
The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.
Got this far
Found instructions on CyanogenMod Wiki - wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_surnia[/url
but only got as far as step 5. What terminal on my computer? Command Prompt? I typed adb reboot bootloader into Command Prompt but it said adb command is not recognized.
Unlocking the device
1. Make sure your computer has working fastboot and adb.
2. Enable USB debugging on the device.
3. Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options settings on the device. (Note: Not all devices have this setting, so continue with next step if yours does not.)
4. Connect the device to the computer through USB.
5. From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
6. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
* If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
* If you see "no permissions fastboot", try running fastboot as root.
7. From the same terminal, type the following command to obtain your bootloader unlock code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
8. Visit the Motorola Bootloader Unlock website and follow the instructions there to obtain your unlock key and unlock your bootloader.
9. If the device doesn't automatically reboot, reboot it from the menu. It should now be unlocked.
10. Since the device resets completely, you will need to re-enable USB debugging on the device to continue.
Installing recovery using fastboot
See All About Recovery Images for more information about custom recoveries and their capabilities.
1. Make sure your computer has working fastboot and adb.
2. Download recovery -- you can directly download a recovery image using the link below, or visit twrp.me to obtain the latest version of TeamWin Recovery Project for your device.
Recovery: Downloadmd5: 5fdfe1871589c0a152f3f7e541b6c892
3. Connect the Moto E 2015 LTE to the computer via USB.
4. Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot.
5. Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing
adb reboot bootloaderor by using the hardware key combination for your device while it is powered off.
6. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing
fastboot devices
* If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
* If you see "no permissions fastboot", make sure your UDEV rules are setup correctly.
7. Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.imgwhere the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.
8. Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. Boot to recovery instructions: Hold Volume Down & Power simultaneously. On the next screen use Volume Down to scroll to recovery and then use Volume Up to select.
* Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.
Installing CyanogenMod from recovery
1. Make sure your computer has working adb.
2. Download the CyanogenMod package for your device that you'd like to install to your computer.
Optional: Download 3rd party applications packages, like Google Apps which are necessary to download apps from Google Play.
3. Place the CyanogenMod .zip package, as well as any optional .zip packages, on the root of /sdcard:
* Using adb: adb push filename.zip /sdcard/
Note: You can copy the .zip packages to your device using any method you are familiar with. The adb method is used here because it is universal across all devices and works in both Android and recovery mode. If you are in recovery mode, you may need to ensure /sdcard (sometimes called Internal Storage) is mounted by checking its status in the Mounts menu. If you have booted regularly, USB debugging must be enabled.
4. If you are not already in recovery, boot to recovery mode now.
* Hold Volume Down & Power simultaneously. On the next screen use Volume Down to scroll to recovery and then use Volume Up to select.
5. In Team Win Recovery Project, select menu choices by tapping on the appropriately labelled button.
6. Optional (Recommended): Select the Backup button to create a backup.
7. Select Wipe and then Factory Reset.
8. Select Install (if you're running Cyanogen recovery this is Apply Update).
9. Navigate to /sdcard and select the CyanogenMod .zip package.
10. Follow the on-screen notices to install the package.
11. Optional: Install any additional packages you wish using the same method (if you are installing multiple packages, install CyanogenMod the first and then install any subsequent packages on top of it).
12. Once installation has finished, return to the main menu and select Reboot, then System. The device will now boot into CyanogenMod.

Have you installed the adb/fastboot program? Do a Google search for adb/fastboot for windows. Then verify that you have your moto E USB drivers downloaded and installed. You should be able to enter adb commands when that is set up. To verify that adb is working and that your device is recognized you type: adb devices
That should give you a set of numbers and letters, if so then your device is recognized, continue with the commands from your guide.
The YouTube video will walk you through step by step with a visual guide instead of trying to make sense of written instructions, just emulate the operators' actions following the video and you can't go wrong.

Disclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Warning: Rooting does not void Yutopia’s warranty, though damaging your hardware (i.e., burning up your CPU/Motherboard by overclocking, hardbricking the device) will. You proceed at your own risk! I accept no responsibility for what you do with your phone. Follow the directions closely, and the odds are you will succeed without any trouble. If you are not sure what you are doing, do some more research before you try.
Lets begin
Index:
A. Drivers Installation
B. Unlock Bootloader
C. Install & Boot into Custom Recovery (TWRP) on Yutopia
D. Make A Nandroid Backup With TWRP Recovery
E. Root Your Stock Rom
F. Backup EFS and Other Partitions
A. Drivers Installation:
In order to Unlock, Root or Install Custom Recovery, you need to have the right set of Drivers to help your computer recognize your device. I used Windows 7 for this and it worked fine so should work for other windows as well.
Download and install Yutopia Drivers
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0pr-ZA5b-1pWFAwMmI4dWRGM3M/view?usp=sharing
Go through the setup, and when done, restart your PC. Connect your device to your windows and is shall recognize it
B. Unlock Bootloader:
Backup important files stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, as unlocking the Bootloader will completely wipe/delete all files on the device.
After the installation of drivers follow the below to proceed with Unlocking the Bootloader of your Yutopia:
1. Enable USB Debugging, Uncheck Update Cyanogen Recovery & Activate OEM Unlock:
* Go to Settings > About phone, and then tap ‘Build number’ 7 times or until you get the message ‘You’re now a developer!’.
* Go back to Settings, choose ‘Developer options’. Find the ‘USB debugging’ option and use this toggle button to enable it. Accept warning by tapping on OK button.
In the ‘Developer options’. Find the ‘OEM Unlocking’ option and use its toggle button to enable it. It asks for your PIN/Screen unlock code, type it. Then accept the warning by tapping on OK button.
Also Uncheck Update Cyanogen recovery in developer options.
2. Boot your Yutopia into Bootloader/Fastboot mode. (Make sure you have backed up all important data as you’ll lose everything on phone in the steps below.)
3. Connect your Yutopia — in Bootloader mode — to PC. Let the driver install.
4. Open a command window on your PC. For this:
5. Open any folder on PC. Now, left click on empty white space inside the folder.
6. Hold shift key, right click on empty white space to get a pop-up and Choose Open command window here option from that. You will see a command window open up, with location directed to unlock folder.
7. Power off your phone then boot into fastboot mode (power + volume up).
8. Connect your phone to your windows via usb cable.
9. Confirm whether fastboot is working. With Yutopia connected to PC, run the following command in command window.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 devices
10. If device is connected you will get following kind of output:
86fsdy85 fastboot
11. If you dont get similar output it means that the drivers are not correctly installed or the device wasnt connected properly.
12. If the output is similar to above then run the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 oem unlock
13. Now reboot from fastboot mode and thats it
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 reboot
To confirm unlock status, reboot into bootloader/fastboot mode and you shall see the text unlocked now.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 device-info
C. Install & Boot into Custom Recovery (TWRP) on Yutopia
1. Download Modified TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0pr-ZA5b-1pd2Z2YVR1cVZaeVE/view?usp=sharing
2. Enable USB debugging & Uncheck update Cyanogen Recovery from developer options once again.
3. Boot your Yutopia into bootloader mode.
4. Connect your Yutopia — in bootloader mode — to PC. Let the driver install.
Open a command window on your PC in the folder where you have the recovery.img file.
You will see a command window open up, with location directed to folder where you have the recovery.img file.
Let’s confirm whether fastboot is working. With Yutopia connected to PC, run the following command in command window. You should get a serial no. with fastboot written after it. If not, you need to reinstall the fastboot drivers from above.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 devices
(if the drivers are installed and device connected you would get the device serial number)
Flash TWRP recovery on your Yutopia by running the following command.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 flash recovery recovery.img
After that run this command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2A96 boot recovery.img
This will boot your device directly to TWRP
Or you can manually boot in recovery by unplugging the usb cable and then pressin POWER + VOL down until the device boots. When the YU logo shows up, relese the POWER and keep holding down VOL DOWN until TWRP boots up:
First boot into TWRP directly after flash is very important, Don't boot the OS on the phone as it may overwrite the recovery.
D. Make A Nandroid Backup With TWRP Recovery
Nandroid backup is a very important thing to have before installing any custom software on your device. It's basically a backup of your stock system that you can fall back on if anything goes wrong or if you just want your stock ROM back. You can also use the backup tool to create a backup of your favourite ROM set up exactly the way you like it. The backup you create can be easily restored using the restore tool in TWRP recovery.
All you need to do is enter TWRP recovery, select the backup option from the TWRP home screen, check the system/data/boot boxes, and swipe to backup. The process will take a few minutes.
Please make this backup before you root, so that you possess unrooted system backup at all times which would come handy at the time of OTA updates.
E. Root Your Stock Rom
Download: The latest SuperSU on your device.
https://download.chainfire.eu/896/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip
Reboot to recovery
Tap on Install > Browse and Select SuperSU > Swipe to Confirm the Flash
Once Done > Wipe Dalvik & Cache > Reboot System To Restart
To Confirm the root status use a root checker app from play.
F. Backup EFS and Other Partitions
1. Download Partitions Backup And Restore App from Here
2. Open the app and grant it root access.
3. Click on the Settings icon above and select preference to .img
4. Select the partitions marked in yellow and backup them by clicking on the download like button at the bottom right.
5. Go to the storage and search for the Partitions Backup folder there you will three .img files (modem,modemst1,modemst2) . Save them to your cloud and as many places as you want as they are very important files.
This way you can back up all other partitions too. (I recommend backing up all those that are not found in a factory image.
Now you possess an Unlocked YU - Yutopia with a Custom Recovery and Root Privileges

Alternate Link for Yutopia Drivers
Hi,
Can you please share an updated link for the yutopia drivers? This link seems to be broken.
Thanks a lot!
Hi there!!
Well I was trying to root this phone since a month but due to lack of developers, it wasn't possible. So I tried and at last succeeded in rooting and porting TWRP recovery for Intex Aqua Music.
I tried to elaborate every step as much as I can so the tutorial becomes user friendly for everyone.
Disclaimer: Rooting immediately voids your phone's warranty, you should consider very carefully whether you need to gain root privileges. And this tutorial will format your phone. So backup you important files at the very first.
Tutorial
First download all the files which i left and the end of the thread and proceed with the tutorial.
First of all you need to install ADB Drivers.
Once drivers are installed, you need to enable USB Debugging in your phone.
(goto phone settings->About phone->scroll down and you’ll see an entry labelled ‘Build number.’ Keep on tapping till you see a prompt that says ‘You are now a developer)
Now in phone settings you will see a new option called Developer Options.
Now goto Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking(for unlocking the bootloader so you can flash the TWRP recovery) and USB Debugging.
Now connect you phone with usb cable to computer and open the adb and fastboot folder which you downloaded.
Then open command prompt there(shift+right click) and type:

Hey
I have found a way to finally root the Android alcatel pixi 4_5 5010
Without further ado let's get to the thing..
NOTES
This will work for all 5010 models
I am not responsible for bricking / ruining your phone,
Most of the time this will work without brick but still be careful.
REQUIREMENTS
Alcatel pixi 4_5 5010 (obviously)
A Windows computer
Usb cable
Fastboot drivers (if your device isn't detected in Fastboot mode | I won't be providing a tutorial on how to install them)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Download adb/Fastboot and extract it on an easily accessible place eg: desktop (https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip)
Step 2:
Go into settings > about phone
Then tap build number about 7 times until it says 'you are now a developer' Then go into the dev settings at bottom of settings and enable usb debugging
Step 3: (optional)
Take a full backup of your device via adb
Type in Google 'how to backup android using adb'
And follow the steps
Step 4:
Download twrp.img and move it inside the platform-tools folder mega.nz/fm/NMkD1DwJ
Step 5:
(if your bootloader is already unlocked skip this)
WARNING! ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE ERASED FOLLOW STEP 3!
Connect your device to your pc then open platform-tools folder you extracted then shift + right click and click 'open command prompt here'
Once again go into dev settings and enable 'oem unlocking'
Type: adb reboot bootloader (your device will boot into fastboot mode)
Then type : fastboot devices
Something like this should appear:
Devices
ABCDEFG2855568
Then type : fastboot oem unlock and press volume up on your device (read the warning I have written on top)
Then setup your device like you did when you got it out of the box
Step 6:
Once again type adb devices and then adb reboot bootloader
Then once its booted into fastboot mode
Type : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
When it's indicated that its finished unplug the device from the pc and pull out the battery.
Then hold power + volume up until the alcatel logo shows up
You should now be booting into twrp. Restart your phone and boot it normally.
Step 7:
Download the latest supersu package to root the device
http://www.supersu.com/download then move it onto the storage of your device
Step 8:
Turn your phone off and hold power + volume up again and you should boot into twrp
Press 'install' and select the supersu file (where you have put it)
Then swipe yes and wait for the process to finish.
After it finishes press reboot.
Restore data (type 'how to restore data using adb')
And congratulations you are now rooted
If you have questions ask away
Also if you think a step could be written easier tell me via comments.
Poof ('_')
