The Acer Liquid Z6 (T09) is powered by the MT6737 SoC and runs on Android 6 (Marshmallow).

How can I root my Acer Liquid Z6 (T09)?


There are two main steps:
  • Unlocking the Bootloader of the Acer Liquid Z6 (T09)
  • Flashing the Hovatek Philz recovery.img and SuperSU.zip

Procedure


  1. Download Philz for Acer Liquid Z6 (T09) ported by Team Hovatek @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...UySlE/view
  2. Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
  3. Extract and copy the Philz recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
  4. Unlock the Bootloader of the Acer Liquid Z6 (T09) using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17659.html
  5. Download SuperSU 2.78.zip at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457084094631642692
  6. Copy SuperSU.zip to both the phone’s internal storage
  7. Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide; don't forget to re-enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging)
  8. When the phone enters Fastboot, load the Philz recovery to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter

    Code:

    fastboot boot recovery.img

  9. The phone should automatically boot into Philz recovery mode
  10. In Philz recovery, you use the Volume buttons to navigate and Power button to select
  11. Select Install Zip
  12. Navigate to the location of the SuperSU2.78.zip on the SD Card and select it
  13. Wait till flashing is complete
  14. If you are prompted to fix root, select No
  15. Reboot the phone normally
  16. Confirm Root by installing and running Root Checker

In my case (Particular?) I had to mount the folders /system /cache and /data for to access the SuperSu archive ...
Integration of TWRP or CWM for the next tutorial?

Encore merci Hovatek Smile

Just for info : Update OS : Acer.T09.AV0M0.1.034.00.EMEA.GEN1

Can you fix the scatter you put in the "recovery.img". To use this scatter to install TWRP, I bricked my phone today. (for info, i unbrick my phone)

In fact, I think the size of the partition needs to be recalculated. Am I mistaken?
If so, can you give me the values that I correct my file?

Scatter from Acer' update :
Code:

cache 0xcb000000
userdata 0xe4000000

Scatter from you
Code:

- partition_index: SYS22
  partition_name: cache
  file_name: cache.img
  is_download: true
  type: EXT4_IMG
  linear_start_addr: 0xab000000 <-------------
  physical_start_addr: 0xab000000 <-------------
  partition_size: 0x19000000
  region: EMMC_USER
  storage: HW_STORAGE_EMMC
  boundary_check: true
  is_reserved: false
  operation_type: UPDATE
  empty_boot_needed: false
  reserve: 0x00

- partition_index: SYS23
  partition_name: userdata
  file_name: userdata.img
  is_download: true
  type: EXT4_IMG
  linear_start_addr: 0xc4000000 <-------------
  physical_start_addr: 0xc4000000 <-------------
  partition_size: 0xc0000000
  region: EMMC_USER
  storage: HW_STORAGE_EMMC
  boundary_check: true
  is_reserved: false
  operation_type: UPDATE
  empty_boot_needed: false
  reserve: 0x00

The scatter file isn't for your exact Model. Its for a phone with the same chipset as yours. It should therefore only be used to flash recovery.
Recall you were unable to provide a scatter file and stock recovery @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17581.html so we had to use a scatter file (for your chipset) to extract your recovery.
That's why the rooting guide doesn't use a scatter file and even if it did, it would deal with only recovery

That is true ! I had forgotten...
But compared with the file provided in the update, it is okay except these two values that I corrected on my side. I lack one thing, it is the size of the partition ...

What I know :
The value "physical_start_addr: 0xc4000000" is set to "rtition_size: 0xc0000000".

So if the value "" physical_start_addr: 0xe4000000 "and so the value becomes: partition_size: 0xe0000000".

I am wrong ?

As far as the partition size of the cache, I'm in the full blur


Below, the scatter file of the update
Code:

preloader 0x0
pgpt 0x0
proinfo 0x80000
nvram 0x380000
protect1 0x880000
protect2 0x1280000
lk 0x1c80000
para 0x1d00000
boot 0x1d80000
recovery 0x2d80000
logo 0x3d80000
expdb 0x4580000
seccfg 0x4f80000
oemkeystore 0x5000000
secro 0x5200000
keystore 0x5800000
tee1 0x6000000
tee2 0x6500000
frp 0x6a00000
nvdata 0x6b00000
metadata 0x8b00000
system 0xb000000
cache 0xcb000000
userdata 0xe4000000
flashinfo 0xFFFF0084
sgpt 0xFFFF0004

I'll need you to create a new thread so this very one focuses on rooting

Divides this one [Image: blush.gif]

You want the recovery, the boot and the scatter again?

EDIT : But why ? The root of the Z6 is something acquired for me ... The bottom of the problem is that now I want to install TWRP or Philz and if I go on a "scatter" erroneous, I will again brick my phone.

So my questions to be able to correct the sizes of partitions

I can't go into modifying a scatter file in this thread. That isn't directly related to rooting this phone (rooting has already been achieved above without a scatter file).
As I'd reminded you, the scatter file included with the custom recovery isn't for your model. Its for a phone with your phone's chip. We have a separate guide for modifying a scatter file (to work with your phone in such a case) and that's beyond the scope of this very guide
