Finally it's possible to root Alcatel OT-908 with Windows7
After much research I discovered little information about rooting the phone,
seemed like It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
It had led me trying al kinds of Apps supposedly for rooting, I tried
and tried but none seemed to work.
- tried Z4root did not root
- tried lots of others like Universal AndRoot, but the result ... no root
- tried the latest Gingerbreak v.1.2 , This will work on OT-908 with old Firmware (FRG83G.v61S-0)
However it did not root my Alcatel OT-908 from the store because it had the latest Firmware (FRG83G.v63N-0)
To make it work you must use SuperOneClick, read below on how-to.
STEP 1 :
Turn on USB DEBUGGING op your phone :
(in the menu, then settings, then applications, then development, and then making sure USB debugging is on).
STEP 2 :
You must have ADB DRIVERS installed.
See download links below
STEP 3 :
You must have ALCATEL QUALCOMM USB DRIVERS installed.
See download links below
STEP 4 :
Download and extract the latest version of SuperOneClick.
The version that I used was SuperOneClick v2.2 ,
See download links below
FINAL STEP :
Once the ADB Drivers and QUALCOMM USB Drivers are installed, you can simply rightclick SuperOneClick.exe as administrator
(Important , run as Administrator!)
And when SuperOneClick opens , simply press the Root button, and the rooting process should start automatically
and just wait until everything finishes you will get a message if it's been successfull.
It will ask to install busybox. (This is optional)
Congratulations, you are now equipped with a rooted phone, and you should have superuser access on your android phone´s program list.
If it fails ......
ALTERNATIVE STEP :
Bring your phone into recovery mode ;
You will have to shut down the phone make sure it's off,
then turn it on holding the POWER + VOLUME DOWN buttons and holding them until the screen goes on
As soon as the screen goes on and you see lights, press the HOME button and you are in recovery mode,
quickly plug in the phone on your computers USB port.
This is where the drivers must be installed.
If you have not installed the ADB and ALCATEL drivers windows will at this time ask for drivers and you should just let windows try and find the driver online, let it search and in most cases that is all you need. If it still doesn't recognize all the drivers you should point to the ADB folder in SuperOneClick or in the extracted ADB Driver folder and the ALCATEL QUALCOMM USB DRIVERS folder.
Once the ADB Drivers and QUALCOMM USB Drivers are installed, you can simply rightclick SuperOneClick.exe as administrator
(Important , run as Administrator!)
It's important you do this right after you booted, or the superoneclick program might freeze i've tried it many times and I'm sure this is when it worked, so right after you turned it on through recovery.
(power on + volume down until screen goes on, release and press HOME)
Right after you have done this little procedure correctly you hook it up to USB on your PC and quickly open superoneclick (rightclick administrator open)
and quickly press the ROOT button. (Do this very fast as waiting too long will not work)
You will see it run multiple tasks and when completed it will tell you it's completed and your phone is rooted.
It might ask you if you want busybox to be installed, you can choose
yes or no, but i recommend to just have it installed it may make things easier for you in the future if you plan to do more then just rooting your phone.
That's it.
Once it's completed, you should have the superuser application in your menu.
You can test to see if you have rooted successfull with root checker from the Android Market (a Freeware APP which lets you test if you've got a successfully rooted android phone).
If you have succeeded I recommend rebooting.
You should be having the pleasure of having a rooted Alcatel OT-908
If there are any questions, problems please reply and i will be back from time to time to answer questions.
Good luck to you all !

Can't seem to get your steps to work..
Update: It is all in the timing - for me (after making sure antivirus wasn't clearing out the exploits folder) I had to start superoneclick while it was booting, say during the "WIND" animation screen.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Trying to follow your steps to root my alcatel ot-908
The first method doesn't work for me - the superoneclick log stops at step #5.
Every other attempt I've made results in superoneclick simply freezing after clicking 'root'.
Can you clarify your 2nd method?
1) How long are you holding the power+volume combo?
2) When you say "screen comes on", what do you see on the screen? If I hold for 30 seconds, I continue to see a dead black screen, with lights ON. Home button has no apparent effect. I have to remove the battery to reset.)
3) Are you connecting the USB and starting superoneclick with the android screen blank? Once I got a screen that had a graphic with an android character and a box with a green arrow flowing into the box.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
Maybe I don't know much, but I can't find any executable file in the ADB drivers.
Thank you for sharing with us!
I have a alcatel 906, this method will work on it?
Hi, I'm on froyo 2.2.2 with kernel frg83g.w635-0 (I updated with the build q 1.9.4, downloaded from alcatel site) This firmware cannot be rooted?
I have the version 2.3.4, and tried all disponeble the net and could not and would need to downgrade to a previous order to rooting the terminal

Just download the newest version of Unlockroot. Then plug your phone in to your USB port without debugging mode on. Wait for the phone to be recognised and turn on file sharing on the phone. Open unlockroot. Then finnaly turn on USB debugging mode on the phone (it will let you at this point. Click on root in unlockroot. (make sure you have internet connection on pc). Wait a minute or two, unlock root will ask you if you want to intall some software on the phone, answer "no", when it asks you to reboot the phone click "yes". Your phone will shut off but not reboot. Just unplug it from the USB, and manually turn it on. You are rooted. Have it on my Hisense U2 working like a charm. Now just need a digital signature to install updates from SD card. Any help?

i have tried all possible rooting apps and methods, nothing works... my only option is to flash another rom in recovery mode but I can't go into recovery mode... Is there a way to force a china mobile into recovery mode?
This is a Root Tool for Android 4.0/4.1 devices.
How to use it:
1. Download and install ADB Driver.
2.Restart your computer once adb driver is successfully installed.
3.Have your device charged to at least 50% to ensure no power interruptions.
4.Backup your device to your computer or external sdcard (I like My Backup app from the Play Store).
5.Download and extract Bin4ary Root Tool to a new folder on your computer.
6.Power on your device and enable USB debugging (Settings>Developer Options>USB debugging>OK).
7.Connect your device to your computer via MicroUSB to USB cable in MTP mode (option will appear in notification bar when you plug your device into your computer).
9.Your computer should automatically install drivers using the previously downloaded and installed adb driver. It may popup a install wizard; follow the wizards prompts. Let Windows update search for it. The computer may say it can't install MTP device; that's ok, click finish or cancel. Then another wizard will popup to install ADB device and will sucessfully install.
10.Double-click "RunMe.bat" (it may just say "RunMe") in the downloaded Root Tool you extracted to a new folder and follow all instructions you see on the application (for SoftwinerEvb tablet choose option 1 by pressing 1 key and then enter/return key on your keyboard).
I've succesfully rooted my SoftwinerEvb (4.1.1 JB) Tablet with it. I haven't flashed any custom recovery, rom, or kernel yet.
HAVE FUN!!
I'll try and answer any questions if I can.

So many people around here are having issues with KDZ, errors such as:
--Connections problem between PC and Phone
-Drivers problem.
-Cannot find the phone.
-Bricked too hard.
-Random chinese info stuff...How did i find this solution ?
After i copied the wrong aboot.bin to my device KDZ stopped working even after i repaired it.Why did i try to use KDZ after i repaired it?Well because i bricked it again by installing some modules that weren't compatible and it ended by deleting some of my system apps and also my navigation bar.So, i thought myself why LG designed an program for software update and why don't we use it?So i used B2CAppSetup, and not only that it fixed my device but also it reverted the firmware that i lost when i bricked my phone first time, because when i bricked it the first time i couldn't find the same KDZ i just flashed one that seemed compatible.I have to say it was way more faster and easier.

Let's get to the guide shall we?
Step 1 : Download B2CAppSetup( i attached it for ya )
Step 2a : Install it !
Warning Step 2 : If you already have KDZ installed using @hyelton method DON'T INSTALL IT!, you should already have it in your KDZ folder .
Step 2b (If you already have KDZ installed using @hyelton method and can't find B2CAppSetup) : Just delete it and install the program from here .
Step 3 : Open the program and plug your phone into the PC/Laptop whatever.
Step 3.1a: If you can boot up your phone( i mean if it's not bricked ) just select Software LG mode and in the B2CAppSetup window there should appear something like "Your phone has been discovered, do you want to install the driver?", you would say Yes and wait until the driver is installed.
Additional Info for Step 3.1a : For B2CAppSetup to find your phone you don't need only to have the Software LG mode enabled, you will also need the driver that should automatically install by itself.
Step 3.1b:If your device is bricked and can't boot you'll have to enter the Download Mode, to do that just keep holding the Vol. Up button while inserting the USB cable in the phone( The USB cable must be already plugged into the PC while doing that), and you keep it until you go into the Download Mode.
Step 4 : Now let's get the upgrade done. So basically since our phone has no firmware updates we have to trick the program. In the upper right corner you should see two options available, you are going to click on the one that says "Additional Functions"( the one in the left) and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".
Step 5 : Now if you've followed as i've said it should be very easy from now on.The program will connect to the device and start downloading the right Firmware Update that you had when your phone first came.
WARING !!! : DURING THE INSTALLATION THE PROGRAM MAY GIVE YOU THIS ERROR " The device has been disconnected from the PC, do you want to abort the update" , you just let it that way because it will still be installing even if that error pops-up.
Step 5.1 : When the installation reaches like 80% your phone should boot up, but don't disconnect it yet, just wait until the program crashed itself,it should crash when it's 99%, after that you can unplug it.
Errors after installing:
1 )com.android.phone has stopped responding
2 )acore has stopped...
3 )contacts has stopped...
n )......
( and it keeps saying that without stopping and letting you do anything )
To fix it just, do a hard reset by using the stock recovery. Hope this method helped you in any way since the links where we could download the KDZ files are mostly down and since the KDZ works when it want and how it want.Feel free to ask question.This method was tested on the D620.
... and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".

Well, this is a guide on how to reflash the stock version in case KDZ is not working, i guess if the USB still recognizes the phone it may be a chance to work, just attempt to use the software and see if it works (after all this is another method beside KDZ)

Same happend to me but I downloaded and installed driver from LG .
If my phone has a cab file will it convert it to kdz for me
I'm having the same issues. My LG G2 Mini D618 is stuck in the LG logo
I can't seem to enter Download mode even though I follow the instruction (press volume up button as I plug the USB cable) and installed USB drivers. Please help!
Hi guys,
Sorry to revive the old post, but I haven't been able to find me a solution after many days searching... A customer came to me with an LG G2 Mini D625 (located in Chile), for what i've been investigating the phone is stuck in APX mode, I got to install the "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", and now I'm trying this method to attempt to revive the phone... however it has come to my attention that after:
1. Removing the battery
2. Keeping pressed vol+
3. Connecting the usb cable to phone & pc while doing step 2
I can't get the phone to boot in Download mode... Could it be it's a different method for D625? Is it plain dead & hard-bricked without any options left? Can something be done with some sort of box? I don't have any type of box myself, but if needed be, I can advise my customer to go with another technician who owns a box...
EDIT: I have the phone with me... just FYI
