Hi, i have a problem with unlocking the bootloader of Alcatel 1B. I was able to get the official firehose (programmer) for this model which i linked below. It says it has connected to the phone but when i try to read some partition or unlock bootloader with edl client/ qfil / miraclebox it always says "trying to read first sector" and it stuck there for a long time and doesnt do anything. I tried different memory types etc... Any help would be appreciated

Do you have an engineer (unlocked) bootloader file you intend to flash or what?

I intended to unlock bootloader with generic unlock option in edl client (there isnt any unlock file for this phone). After searching online i found that alcatel/tcl phones need to use --skipresponse to connect properly. Now i can read the memory but flashing anything (or patching bootloader) always fails (edl client shows that it wrote something but when i boot the phone everything is still same) and its very slow. If any files are needed to be patched or something i can provide them. Help would be appreciated

So, i was able to dump the entire storage of the phone and found the aboot (bootloader) file. I saw many things related to fastboot but i dont understand it. It mentions secret key many times but when i searched for it i didnt find anything. I attached the files below
If anyone can look at it or patch it i would appreciate it.

Unless you're flashing a signed magisk image, you'll surely have trouble on a locked bootloader

By a long shot... https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32674.html . Maybe the Qualcomm models use the same key as some Unisoc
