this method and the 993D has stopped working after a kernel upgrade, try this this way, if the last time out, then and now should.
Sorry for translate.google
1. download the utility View attachment unlockbootloader.rar
2. Unzip to your C drive
3. Run and choose unlockbootloader.exe ROOT Your Background
4. Wait for all operations. Console appears that self-close after the completion of the process of obtaining mouth
5. Download and install SuperSU

As I can see from your other posts you rooted the 997D with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 solution. After that you did the system firmware update and you don't have root anymore?
I also updated the firmware of my 997D through my phone settings/about phone/system updates/check for update and after that I first tried to root my phone with the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v15 utility and it didn't work.
Is there any way to rollback our firmware?

Before running unlockbootloader try to disable antivirus, and run as administrator.
root
i'm pretty sure the update is preventing the root. Badluck for us then? i know a bit of android, but i'm no developer so i can't make a rootfix by my own
Anyone here has some knowledge to get our nice device rooted?

The root is not working with that tool
SuperOneClick: Step #7 .. after that, freeze
same here, tried both superoneclick and the binary root, both don't work anymore.
Nice move from alcatel to fix root in an update, if i only knew this before i updated
Also tried Unlockroot 3.0 (which was updated recently) but it doesn't work
ok, found this out, when you shut down the phone, press volume up + power button, phone starts in android recovery mode 3e, any possible chance to get the phone rooted this way?
c'mon guy's i want this phone rooted, getting resolution problems with games (software buttons of ics hide some of the screen) can't start some gps apps because of this stupid software buttons)
anyone dare to try this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ldao6p9eyjuu1f9
I'm prepared to even pay for a working root, so if anyone has found a way, pls contact me at pm
Any news on this subject? I love the phone, but I miss the SetCPU profiles I used on my previous phone, and a battery meter with percentage...
Nothing yet, I have tried every available method soc,unlockroot,bin4ary etc and nothing works after the firmware update.
Is there anyone who hasn't done the firmware update and can root his phone? If yes please do a factory reset and take a backup of his ROM and upload.
I guess our best bet would be a port of CWM recovery. Maybe I'll backup the stock recovery and use the CWM recovery builder this evening if I have the time

I'll reply to myself: no way, since you need to be rooted in order to dump the stock recovery. Maybe if someone could try to extract the OTA update so we could examine the files and look if the recovery.img is there...

Ok, I have managed to get something.
Following this tutorial by Bruno Martins (a well known rom cooker who's also a user here) I've been able to dump recovery.img from my Alcatel OT-997D: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
The tutotial was meant for MT6513 and MT6573 devices, but looks like it works on MT6577 too.
Then, I've used that file with the Clockworkmod recovery builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and now I have another recovery image, which is supposed to be a CWM port for our Alcatel.
I'm still unsure to flash that recovery, since I can't be sure it will work. Mediatek based phones do not have a fastboot mode, so it's impossible to just try a recovery image without actually flashing it. In fastboot mode, you can boot the phone into a custom recovery without actually flashing it, so you risk nothing if it doesn't work
In case someone daring enough wants to try my custom recovery, I've uploaded it to my Mediafire account: http://www.mediafire.com/?7232aj7jhg7l4e5
The idea is that, with a working CWM recovery, it should be possible to flash Chainfire's SuperSU root zip and easily root the phone.
Of course I warn you this could ruin the recovery image on your phone, so don't risk doing it if you're not sure.

Hey dude it didn't work. Motochopper was able to install only superuser but was unable to root. I wasn't able to give root access to root uninstaller so i verified using root verifier and it showed that device is not rooted.
I even tried MTK root toolkit which roots chinese phone of MT series but it also couldn't root my tabet. I have read that this tool kit currently doesn't support anything higher than jellybean 4.1.
Did you try using http://www.unlockroot.com/ ? It says here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43037172#post43037172 .
I can help, you will need to use SP Flash tool to pull your phones stock recovery and copy it to pc. Then you can either use MTK droid tools to unpack the stock recovery and repack it into a custom recovery that will allow you to flash a root.zip OR I can use android kitchen to repack the recovery for you.
Let me know which way you want to proceed, I can either help you do it or I can give you the directions to do it.
You can also try looking at my previous posts, specifically the post about the Z3Z6Z7 phone (MTK6575 processor), I found a Chinese root program that rooted my MTK6575 in like 30 secs, and this was after I ran every root method I could find and they all failed except the Chinese root method.

***FIRST*** Very Important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use MTK Droid Tools to make a backup of your stock rom, some of these MTK devices are very hard to find stock firmware for floating around on the net so it is better to be safe rather than sorry later, I would suggest making at least 3 back ups just to be sure you have them and BEFORE you start modifying the recovery or any other part of the system now that you are rooted. This back up made by MTK Droid Tools saved my butt on that Z3Z6Z7, if not for a back up I would have a soft bricked phone with no way to recover!
Ok, so the chinese root program worked for you? You will need to go back and download SuperSU from the Play Store to replace the chinese superuser app the program installs preferably.
Then for SP flash tool, what processor does your device have? The directions for pulling files from a MTK device varies with each platform, I.E. MT6515, MT6573, MT6575, MT6577, and MT6589 so I would need to know which processor you have to give you correct directions. Now that you are rooted you may not need the recovery unless you want it to perform a back up of your stock system, which you can also do with MTK DroidTools
Hope this helps, if so hit my thanks button please!

Yes, I will make the backups, only problem being i would need to read a lot more about it before i implement anything (now that i am root).
Yes, the chinese program worked. How do i replace the chinese app with supersu ? Just double tap supersu in that chinese menu ?
I have MT6577 as my processor..I think I will take the recovery I want to perform a backup of the stock system as well. Just in case..
You are too kind. thanks!

Making a back up with MTK Droid Tools backs up all parts of your stock system, it can also be flashed back to the phone with Sp Flashtool if ever need be.
If you need a hand making back ups I can help you either by giving directions or by having you download and install Teamviewer on your Pc, this will allow me to connect to your Pc and show you how to make back ups. It is pretty simple though, you would just need to connect phone to PC then run the MTK Droid Tools program, then the left side of programs box will populate with info about your phone and you will see at top of screen 2 tabs, one (Current tab) say Phone information, then the second says Root, backup, recovery. Select the second tab then click the big back up button, if the button is not lit up then you will need to click the root button at bottom right side of box to allow ADB shell su permissions to it can pull system files in the back up. (which also happens to contain your stock recovery so no need to use SP flash tool to get it :good: )
Also, have a look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825722
The great Master Shifu Yuweng has taught me very very much about these MT65XX devices and most of what I learned about MTK devices came from this thread, the rest from Master Yuweng directly! (Thanks again Yuweng!)
To change to SuperSU just go to Play Store (or Market depending on which is on the device, my MT6575 had Market then I opened it first time and it changed to Play) and search for and download SuperSU, then when it asks to install binary when you open SuperSU just say yes, then normal install, when the chinese superuser prompt up comes up hit the right button and you will then get prompts from the english SuperSU any future root requests from apps after that.
Hope this helps!

Okay! so a few doubts,
1. I have a tablet which I can't really open. So yeah. removing the battery is out.
2. My android recovery (factory-builtin) comes up when i press power+volume buttons and shows the option of updating from the sdcard. Can I use that for flashing instead of SP Flash ? (just copy contents to the SD card and update from there?)

No need to doubt me, I wont steer you wrong mate!
1) Lol, yes then in your case it is kind of hard to remove battery so skip that part.
2) as far as I know, you can not use stock recovery to flash the firmware file, you will need to use SP FlashTool or a custom recovery. Here are directions on how to use SP Flash Tool:
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
Then to get the SP Flash tool go here:
http://www.4shared.com/folder/Q_MYd0k_/MT65xx_Tools.html
If you need a password to access these files, The password to login is "bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com" (No quotes). Have fun.
However when you make the back up with MTK Droid Tools it also makes a backup in zip format that is able to be flashed through recovery once you make your stock recovery into a custom one that will allow you to flash zip files that are not "officially" signed, the stock recovery will only allow signed zips to be flashed so you need to a custom recovery to flash your back up files to phone via recovery.
Good luck!

You will need to make your own recovery, if you want to upload your stock recovery on here, I can unpack and repack for you to make it into a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP based. If you are thinking of using Rom Manager to install a custom recovery I would not suggest doing that unless it specifically shows your devices model number in the list of devices before you try to flash it through Rom Manager...
Sure Man if i will need to make recovery/custom rom i would definitely give you trouble. Can you tell me
1. how can i upgrade to 4.2 jellybean as i don't see anything like windows cd or online update for android OS ? Even in 'about' info there is no option to update and on iball website no updates are available for jellybean 4.1.2 for my tablet ?
2. where are the wallpapers stored in tablet ?

** Why to create backup **
So the main reason I am making this tread is that there are soo many phones out there with MediaTek chips and a very few of these phones maybe just 5% of them have a STOCK ROM uploaded somewhere online for you guys to download and unbrick your soft bricked phone, after trying to do God knows what with it.. Also there is a lot of confusion between models on the market, since there are many of these Chinese phones with the same model name, maybe they even look the same but they do have different hardware inside. So when you install ROM "for your model" you can get soprised that the phone just won't start.. you might even hard-brick it, and then you can safelly throw your phone in garbage..
And since even rooting your phone can get it bricked also, the safest way to go is to backup your STOCK ROM before trying to do anything..
** How to create backup **
Here is detailed explanation on how to create STOCK backup for ANY MediaTek phone or tablet: http://blog.morrison.nl/how-to-backup-and-install-cwm-on-your-no-1-mini-pad-rom/
P.S. I suggest using "MTK Droid Root and Tools" version 2.4.3 becouse that version worked just fine for my MT6589 device with Android 4.2.1, probably it will work for other chip versions too..
You can see in that tutorial that they have said that you should copy the hex code after the cache image ( http://blog.morrison.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Capture9.png ), but on that way you will not get userdata and chace from your phone, and it is recomended that you get that too.. Soo take the code after "NODL_EMTPOOL" or if that can't go, use the code after "NODL_FAT"..
After you are done with that tutorial you will have STOCK backup of your ROM, and you will have ClockWorkMod recovery installed on your phone..
But even after that, I recomend you that you create backup with "MTK Droid Root and Tools" as well as with the CWM Recovery...just in case..
** Rooting process **
Well, I am sure that you will all easily find one click solution for rooting your phones as soon as you google it with your Android version and chip model.. But still, here are some suggestions:
* MT6575/MT6577 devices with ICS
Just use MTK Droid Root and Tools that you have used for backing up your ROM.
* MT6575/MT6577 devices with Jelly Bean
These phones used to be tricky to root since you used to port CWM recovery for your ROM, but now after you backup your rom and install automated ClockWorkMod recovery created by "MTK Droid Root and Tools", all you need to do is copy this file: Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip on your SD card, get into CWM Recovery and install the ZIP.. Rooting Done!
* MT6589 devices with Jelly Bean

Maybe yes if someone has created ROM specificlly for your model.. but very often if you are beginer things might get complicated, so first backup your cellphone in the way I have described in this thread, and onlly then you can go arround and try out some custom made stuff..
After you back up your phone, there is this cool thing called GravityBox developed only for MT6589 Android 4.2.1 users, but I think that new releases are compatible with Android 4.1 too.. I honestly think that is better then any custom ROM..

Emrah.

FYI - You need to be rooted to use back up option in MTK Droid Tools unless your device has an insecure kernel by default. Otherwise the back up button will be greyed out in root, backup, & recovery tab
Also, you might to give credit for MTK droid tools to @rua1 in your first post, he is guy that made MTK Droid Tools and he also gave a full set of instructions on how to use his tool here:

Before using MTK root and tools backup it is required to have rooted phone and it is possible to be done using the smart phone flash tool for getting the image out of phone, after that load the image into mtk droid root and tools and "extract it" during "extraction" mtk droid root and tools will ask you if you would like to create CWM recovery image.. click YES, after that using CWM recovery you can root your phone in no time.

Lol, I am very familiar with using MTK, I was taught by the great Rua1 himself and Master Yuweng . I know full well how to use SPFT to pull images from device as well as how to use MTK. I was pointing out that you stated numerous times that you should make a back up before trying a root method. This is simply not possible without root or an insecure kernel. :good:
Also - I did not say you were taking credit for Rua1's tool, I was just pointing out that is is pretty standard practice on XDA to give credit to the proper person when you post their tools.

I am sorry, but I might have miss understood you.. Are you trying to say that it is impossible to get image out of the phone with SPFT without the root? Because by "creating a backup" I meant on that. And that is possible, at least it worked for me on 3 phones so far.
About the credit thing, noted, I'll edit my first post.

Hi,
Sorry for any confusion on that part, Yes you can pull files from phone using SPFT without being rooted. But in order to use MTK DT to make a back up the device needs to either be rooted or at least have an insecure kernel to use the back up function in MTK DT.
By following your directions above to pull the stock recovery img with SPFT then use MTK DT to port a CWM based recovery that is compatible with your specific device and flashing it to your device first then allows you to root very easily by flashing a superuser.zip (or superSU.zip). I remember the days of having to use unpack and repack scripts with plug ins in the android kitchen to port CWM or TWRP to these MTK devices but Rua1 made it quite simple by adding these functions into MTK so it does all the work for you on the most part now. Or were you meaning pull the stock boot.img and have MTK use it to make an insecure boot.img and flash that to phone, as it allows you to use back up function?
Thanks!
*EDIT* You were perhaps meaning use SPFT to pull a complete back up from phone first, before rooting? That is possible without root, you just cant use back up function in MTK DT without root

This thread can help you to backup your current firmware or root the same, also to restore the firmware you have backed up using methods described in this thread.. I can't help you if you do not have original firmware mate. Sorry.
Now you should remember to always use this thread to back up your stuff before updating.. but then again you said ht desire, if you meant htc desire 310, then htc should have original firmware all arround the net.. hah
If no success try this:
Step 1. To exclude the possibility of conflicts from 3rd party applications, please try restarting your phone by press and hold the "POWER" button > choose "Restart" in Phone options pop up window.
Step 2. Try stopping any newly installed applications that might be running on the device.
If no success try this: http://www.htc.com/hk-en/contact/email/

Don't know about your specific device and the rooting.. this is pretty much old thread, but give it a shot with backuping first.. I bet this method should work. After that you can try rooting in any way you find online without bricking your device.

Will there be any custom Rom for Alcatel One Touch Fierce? Just curious...planning to buy that
How did you get recovery for the phone??? I've been looking everywhere for one!!
Sent from my rooted ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Fierce running stock Kernel and ROM. Android version 2.2.2.
Step 1: Turn off your Android phone, and boot it into bootloader or fastboot mode.
Step 2: when in bootloader or fastboot mode, scrolling down to "Recovery" option using volume keys, trackball or optical sensor. Done. Your device will enter Clockwork recovery mode then.
help?
Im actually wondering that myself. i want to install a custom rom, i recently bought the phone and i dont like the default one
pretty sure he's referring to the stock recovery. I am working on hijacking the init and booting to a 2nd init recovery. Keep holding out guys, we'll be running all kinds of sweetness on this phone soon enough.
edit - Aaaand, there's my third "brick"
fixed my brick
Even tho it says not to remove the battery i did. I had no other choice, i tried just about everything. only way i was able to get a sign of life from the phone was by plugging it into a usb. then the led at the top left of the screen would turn on and nothing more. i bricked mine by using motochopper somehow, first it would say the root failed then i tried changing some things and eventually i got a device not found error. i gave up on that method of rooting but the phone was still working. then i found framaroot. i think i used the first exploit and it bricked. i took out the battery VERY carefully, waited 10 seconds(cant be too safe), reinserted the battery, and it rebooted and was rooted. now im just worried it might have not fully rooted. going to do some tinkering and if it bricks ill let you all know.
goodluck
Yeah the battery is super easy to take out without it looking like you messed with it. I have used both bohomir and faramir with no problems. If you're worried about partial root; do a full unroot with superSu, reboot, unroot with framaroot using the original exploit you chose, reboot then reroot.

Has anyone made any kind of progress with the Kyocera Hydro Icon?
A few things id like to note.
1.I have rooted my icon via Bin4rys root with restore v35.
After rooting,my root apps seem to function to their fullest potential.
2.i was able to get into stock recovery via terminal,im unsure of the button combo if there is one.
"su reboot recovery" gives me that android recovery 3e.also there is am option,"apply update from sdcard".maybe thats a way custom recovery can be loaded?
Im not a pro at all this,i just know some basic info about bash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:i was able to dump stock recovery,but i have no idea how to build on windows.
heres a link to my dropbox with the "recovery.img" file & also the recovery.fstab file as well.
if someone can build thisinto TWRP/CWM that'd be amazing,

after reading thru the script, and several other tools that use this exploit, i have noticed that my phone doesn't have /system/app/Backup-restore.apk (best i can tell thats a xperia app) or /system/bin/ric. it seems the exploit works via some bug in these two files. could you look and see if your phone has these files? and if so, what version of the system software are you running?
System software version is 1.003BT,& i have a backuprestore apk & odex file in my /system/app directory.
The /system/bin/ric file is not present also.

Hi i read your help request in twrp thread and i can try to help you.is there any source about your device?
you will need to provide more than these 2 files for twrp to be compiled...
kernel would be needed but also device information...and some others file(s) like init.rc
can you provide kernel, stock boot.img(or working custom boot.img) ...might be needed some part of official recovery .
What is device resolution?
you can pm me if you want, i can try to compile Twrp for you...
i don't own the device so you will be on your own to push recovery in device and test it.
I can get you the stock boot img,im not sure about the kernel id have to be near a pc to split it to get the kernel.as far as i know there is no source.
EDIT:I found a guide to dump & split the boot image on my phonr,and succeeded.i will upload the boot.img,kernel & anything else you need t my dropbox folder ive shared.

Lost root numerous times trying different things aka rom toolkit and safestrap just trying out a few things but was able to recover root very easily again. In it.d support working for me as well as a few scripts. Thanks for the help. Let me know if I can help.

I don't think so... (Or am I missing something???)
All you need to do is install PC drivers, flash TWRP as your recovery.img (=system, data and other user images are unaffected) and then just flash root using SuperSU .zip.
Can't see that there is a need to do any resets or wipes to get it working, nor should you flash over any of your personal settings.
Recommend you check with Megthebest, he's a user and has another thread on the Ulefone Power here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/ulefone-power-real-reviews-discussion-t3300315
There might be other rooting tips there too.

Has anyone tried using fastboot on this device?
You can boot into fastboot by holding volume up and power. Then volume up to select fastboot and volume down to select the option (weir but it works).
I was able to use "fastboot flashing unlock" to successfully unlock the device. You can also see what is available by using "fastboot OEM?" command.
I did not want to flash anything on the phone and wanted to just boot TWRP for the device using "fastboot boot <image file name>" but it failed to boot. I think the boot command has been changed since and now needs memory locations.
I have tried "fastboot flash recovery <file name>" and it flashed successfully but trying to go into recovery still gives the stock recovery. I'm not sure what really flashed and where.
This is a great phone ! Just hope to find root !
