is there anyway to root and/or unlock the bootloader for the cricket phone?


i need root so i can tweak some things to fix an overheating issues ive always had with this.

i turned on OEM unlocking in dev options and i switched on "Allow root access" in the engineering menu...

any thoughts?

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding. I've done a ton of searching and am still unable to figure it out.
Is it possible to root this device? (6055U)? I'm not concerned w/ the bootloader, just simply want to root. I have not yet tried any of the one-click's (kingroot, kingoroot, etc)
I would really appreciate it if someone would please explain to me. All of these sites/threads make it seem simple, just unsure of the U device.
I just got it today from Cricket and am considering returning it if I am unable to get root.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

There is currently no root for the cricket variant of the device, I believe it's mainly because the fastboot OEM unlock command is disabled, so we can't get permissive selinux. I've been able to get semi root with dirty cow but it's basically useless, unless someone knows how to use that to turn off selinux, or get a real root shell running, neither of which I have been able to accomplish so far. If anyone has any ideas shoot them my way.
