Hi All,
I'm new to the forum(what a great please btw) and am looking for help on how to flash/root the 101b Neon, I had a 101 Neon which I managed to root with VROOT, however it had a power issue(no charge) so returned it for a 101b, which runs KitKat(required for some of the apps I want|)
However for the life of me I can't root it, I've tired VROOT, KINGROOT, a couple of chinese apps to root it, all fail(reboots, screen goes grey, tried it a few times to no avail) . I also want to flash the CWM (tried it with Arctools) but nothing. I've found a few posts where people have recommened downgrading to 4.2, however I need 4.4 for several reasons....(remoteplay app port on XDA-developers being one!)
Really looking for some help as I'm totally lost, I know it has a RK 3188T CPU similar to the 101 XS and apparently runs a " pure Android 4.4 ‘KitKat operating system without any skins or overlays."
. Is the 101b actually a Gen10 system?
Hope someone can help.
I was thinking that would it be possible to extract the update.img file(found a tool that did it) and then manually inject full root privileges(not sure if the correct term) into the boot.img? then repack back together and then reflash onto the tablet?
Or alternatively extract all the relevant drivers out of the extracted kernal/system img and add then to a generic 4.4.2 rooted rom?
The parameter file in the unpacked firmware has the following info
FIRMWARE_VER:4.4.2
MACHINE_MODEL:rk30sdk
MACHINE_ID:007
MANUFACTURER:RK30SDK
MACHINE: 3066
Am I right in thinking that it looks like the 101b Neon uses a rk3066 CPU rather than the stated RK 3188T ??
Sorry If the above doesn't make sense as I'm only about a week or so into owning an android device....
...
Anyone help?
Any luck with that?

I have recently got one of these archos tablets but this has 4.4.4 and i cant find anything to root it either. pulling my hair out and theres not much left lol
Yes! Finally did it with Kingo ROOT, it took a few attempts but eventually "fetched" the right scripts(I'm assuming it tries several), it finally rebooted, check it with root-check tool and it's all done!
Let me know if it works, or if your stuck

Hi! Can anyone please help me root Alcatel 916D (FB Spark)? A real nice low budget qwerty dual-sim phone running Android GB. I've tried all rooting tools i can find on the web like: SuperOneClick, Unlocker,Doomlord, z4root etc... but nothing seems to work. Lately, i tried flashing a new boot.img based on what i read from a post using a scatter text file, unfortunately now, my phone is bricked and stuck on a bootloop. I brought it to Alcatel Service Center for the reinstallation of its fresh OS coz OneTouch Software Uprade won't allow me to install it on my own. As soon as my 916D is fixed i'll try again to root it and i hope that someone in our community could provide me with a good tutorial and rooting files particularly usuable with 916D.
Likewise, i would also appreciate if someone could provide me a tutorial and files necessary on Increasing the Internal Storage of Alcatel 916D coz its merely 150MB.. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi,
I have an OT-916 and I need to be root, this phone has an storage problem, only 90Mb internal free, and I need to be root for erase some applications.
I try too with SuperOneClick, Unlocker, z4root, DooMLoRD, SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse_ALCAPWN.... but dont work...
Please, help us!!

Alcatel has open source code for OT-916D - so what we need, that somebody with C++, Java knowledge for Root and CWM, I think.
Source Files
The source files for Alcatel OT-916 (and many other models) can be downloaded here: sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/
As for rooting, I tried every available method, including MTKdroidTools, but none of them work.
I found a guide to root but i haven't teste yet !

Thanks for the feedback. I am about to try it as soon as I find alcatel OT-916 driver for windows 8.
By the way, how did you enter in DOWNLOAD mode on your Alcatel OT-916? I can't figure out how to do it.

That did the trick, thanks mate! I tested it and it works.
BTW, do you have the stock ROM? I accidentally deleted some system files and need to flash the stock ROM back.
Need Back up from CWM
Hey guys, the guide worked very well. Thanks
Need your help, I'm kinda stuck on bootloop and I haven't made any backup with the cwm.
Can anyone be kind enough to have their back up uploaded so I can restore my phone please?
TIA.

I second this motion If anybody has a whole ROM that can be flashed with SP Flash Tool, please help us les miserables. :angel:
I formatted the phone, now it doesn't even turn on. I wrote Alcatel and asked them for assistance, but still waiting for their reply. I hope they can provide me with the stock ROM. If they don't, I'm afraid I'll have to take it to a repair center.
My Rom for sharing to help

Fortunately, I got a friend with the same phone as mine and I got mine working again. Now I made a back up of my ROM.
Will upload the file later for sharing and help those who messed up their rom.

nice to know that this work! actually i haven't have this phone yet but really wanna have one and root it because of memory issues, however the link given is not understandable because its of different language..yes i can translate the page to english but not the video in there... so im worried that if i tried to, i am at risk of bricking it since i don't fully understand it and i see this rooting procedure is more complicated than JB on ios... it will be my first root if ever...yes im a newbie(noob) to android, so i hope you can help me and if its ok can you make a video if it does not bother you... i'd look forward to this... thank you very much
I have Alcatel OT-916, not OT-916D which is dual sim, and I tried to follow the procedure in the link but when I tried to flash the phone it just didn't want to connect although I was able to read the ram and all the time I was getting error USB not found.
Now the phone is soft-bricked. I'm able to communicate with it but it just won't turn on, like it's hard bricked.
P.S: I think 916 and 916D have different scatter files, that might be the problem. Still I want to hear second opinion.
__________
I forgot to mention something very important. The phone wasn't bricked 'till I tried flashing with option DA Download All checked, which kind of worked, the progress bar went to 100% but I got error BROM ERROR:S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL(5054).

Hello again, guys. I had just sold my ZTE Majesty for a tablet. It's brand new that I got off of Amazon. It was only like 100 dollars or so. But here is my problem... I can't get this to root at all. Every application acts as if it isn't an Android device. I can't connect it to my PC because there isn't a way to view the files from the Tablet to the PC.
I've tried zRoot, Poot, Spaarkyroot, Framaroot, but I couldn't get any of those to work. And like I said, I can't do PC to Tablet connection (or at least I don't know how, there might be a way.)
Thanks for the help, guys! And good luck trying to root the ZTE Majesty!
Android 4.1.1
Model Number R7
try motochopper

Hi I have a Dragon Touch DTR97 tablet, I as you tried everything I could find to root my tablet, nothing worked. Then I came across motochopper, it worked and my DTR97 is now rooted. Next step is to find a cwm_recovery.img for it. Have not had any luck in flashing a custom recovery image, yet, still trying.
I also have the same model and am looking for a similar solution.
The driver installs correctly and connects without problem, but when USB debugging is enabled and it tries to install the debug driver, it will not install correctly. This causes me to not be able to use it with any rooting programs. Is there anywhere I can get a compatible driver?
I have an Azpen A1040, I am fairly new to tablets altogether.
I was trying to use the complete linux installer app to see if I could run Ubuntu on my tablet.
Well, that requires root. I have tried a few things with no success.
But the last one I tried was Vroot, it did NOT root the tablet, but yet, now Vroot is on there and I can not remove it even after doing a Facotry Reset.
I uninstalled Vroot when it didnt work, but then I did a factory reset and noticed there is an icon that looks like the vroot icon but all the text is in chinese.
I dont really need to run linux or root priveleges that bad, but now it bugs me that the vroot app is still there. What is it doing. Is it hurting anything?
Is there an easy way to get rid of it?
The specs of the tablet from the side of the box are
Azpen A1040 10.1" Quad Core Tablet
CPU MT8127 Quad Core Cortex A7
Running Android KitKat 4.4.2
You can find web specs for it at azpenpc.com
I can go in to running apps and do a force stop and disable on the chinese vroot, but I just dont want it to cause spyware or anything else.
Not even sure this is the right forum to post in, but I figure someone will point me in the right direction I hope.
Thanks
Rick (A total tablet newbie) haha

Hi Rick, did you figure out how to root this device? I have been struggling for days trying to find a root utility. Thanks!
I'm not doing what you are attempting but.
I found a couple of potential options. That worked for the limited things I was doing.
Cyanogen rooting appeared to work, though it won't allow installation of custom roms since there currently is no support.
Kingoapp I found on CNet, though I don't have any experience with it, it appeared to successfully root the device.
I would have added links but currenlty it appears I'm not allowed to. Google is your friend.

[Q] [P780] KingUser factory "rooted" (partially) 4GB JB phone looking for full root
Hi all,
I tried the rooting process described here but just bricked my phone because it wouldn't start or my computer wouldn't even detect it anymore. Fortunately, I was able to un-brick it with the files I had from the seller.
This phone came with KingUser, multi-language and has Google Play pre-installed. Unfortunately, even with KingUser saying the phone has root, it doesn't. I can't use Titanium backup for instance. Root Checker reports also that it's not rooted. The seller assured me that flashing with them will give me full root privileges but all it does it return it to the state it came to me a week ago:
SP_Drivers_v1.4
ROM Lenovo P780 MTK6589 163733 multi language firmware - 2014111\1P780_20130723 (v3.1324.0.177)
(I'm still grateful for those files because they saved the day as I was able to get my phone to a working state again.)
Would someone has some advice on a rooting process that could work for this phone and these specs?
Lenovo P780
Android 4.2.1
Build P780_S136_140306
MTK Quad-core 1.2GHz
RAM 1GB
Memory 2.4GB
Total Memory 4GB
Kind Regards

Hey guys and gals, this may sound like an eye rollingly noobish post but honestly ive never had more trouble rooting an android device in my life! so I just got one of these:
https://www.shopandsmile.com.au/collections/android-tablets/products/10-inch-octa-core-3g-tablet
youve probably seen them floating around Aliexpress and the like, not a bad tablet but should go for less than $100 due to build quality, but moving on,
so its a Mediatek MT6580 chipset and the model is BXMC-K107
ive been trying to root this thing all day, I managed to unlock the bootloader with adb, however any attempt to root with any of the programs like kingroot, root genius, iroot etc have all failed, absolutely no luck with any of them, i tried the manual root method but couldnt get nautilus to work with my VM ubuntu install through virtual box, I will try again with a proper installed linux distro rather than vm but I cant see it making much difference.
I also used the main program people use for Mediatek devices (MTK droid tool) however when I open it, I get this error after it reads the tablet:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdis1ilv8qxccrm/Cap.........................ture.PNG?dl=0
trying to root gives me this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpvdexxswwyeh33/Capturascsxze.PNG?dl=0
cant create any backups, cant use any program to root, and cannot figure out where to go from here,
any help would be much appreciated!
THANKS!
