Hello there. A long time I have been gone. First, I HOPE this is the right place to ask, if not, please move my question. Okay, long story short. I just got an Alcatel OT 4010a here in Mexico, and it is loaded of bloatware by my carrier. I am looking for a way to root my phone and have seen so far one way and that is by using a chinese app known as Ishuaji Root and by feedback, some have failed to root their device and/or brick it. Here goes the question, is there any other way of rooting this device aside from using the app mentioned before? Is anybody in the process of finding another way to root it? PLEASE ANSWER!!! I have posted like 3 threads here and only one thread got answered.

this is not for only gingerbread 2.3.4 i have tried it on many versions. even some honeycomb tabs worked.
Ok, I am about to try it, but one thing before doing it, what are the possibilities of the app bricking my phone?
P.S: Sorry for the noobish question but, Google Chrome marks it as a posible "dangerous" program. Or is it safe?
ok, I tried the Gingerbreak app, no results, I tried 2 times and followed the instructions, and waited 20 minutes each time, no luck .
Any other possible form?

Maybe this will help.
If you still not rooted.
Try MTK Droid Root and Tools by rua1, I succesfully rooted my phone (OT 5021E). You can find that here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
ishauji root
I used ishauji root to root mine although it did make my phone slow and it is still risky but follow these instructions:
1.download root tool "ishauji root tool" (just google it)
2.install it to computer
3.download the driver for your alcatel or else the root tool wont recognise your phone
4.make sure phone battery is full and you have it in usb debug mode:- to do this go to settings/applications/development
5.connect phone to computer via usb cable
6.When you open root tool a button should turn green thats the button you should click to root
observation: phone restarts a couple of times then its rooted.
hope this helped:angel:

I just got a dopo 7" tablet from a relative and for the life of me cannot get it to root. I have been at it since 3-4pm (its 11:10 now) and no matter what
apk or .bat rootkit, or windows root exe i have tried from old guides and some new ("can root ANY android device 2014!!!") to youtube videos.
Yes I have the correct driver thanks to vroot downloading it.
i have unknown sources checked
debugging checked
tablet never sleeps/screen never shuts off
have it plugged into laptop via the cable the tablet came with usb to micro
root master apk failed
suggested root-rk29 tab rootkit each step it tried it could not find any of the necessary files needed on my tablet
(even after 3 restarts and 3 different methods)
vroot will try to restore data like the programs steps shows but as soon as it says restore started it immediately says restore ended and it gives an X in the circle and wants me to retry (tried 4 times)
tried doomlordz v4 rootkit and same as other rootkit it says the files arnt found and does the alternative methods and SAYS its completed but root checker still says its not
tried key root master mentions something about a cloud program but never roots
superoneclick becomes unresponsive for 20mins and does nothing so i have to end task (some says it freezes their phone/tablet) but my tablet acts like nothing is happening
I have tried googling multiple times only to find results related to 9" version (i assume newer)
So if ANYone knows a 95% guaranteed program/guide or something I would very much like to see it cause I have about reached my limit of patience on this thing
Please keep the guide simple as I have 0 knowledge on rooting other than reading up why I would want it or the common steps which did not work obviously...
What version of android does it have, 4.1.1 or 4.2.2? I have the same tablet and have been trying for about 6 weeks to root it. Mine came with 4.2.2. I have read that the 4.1.1 version has been successfully rooted. First off, you said that root master suggested root-rk29 tab but it wouldn't work. The reason is that rk29 is for a rockchip SoC and the em63 has an amlogic 8726-mx SoC. I have tried just about every root method I can find, both manual, oneclick, apk, and Windows scripts with no luck. I am hesitant to try modifying some of the methods because if something goes wrong chances of recovering aren't good. As far as I know, there's no way to create a backup of the firmware without root. I have talked with tech support at DoPo and to get a copy of the firmware I have to send in a microsd and they will put a copy on it. Of course after rooting the warranty will be void and I will no longer be able to receive support, but I'm not too concerned with that. Anyway, for now it looks like the best shot I have at rooting this thing is to modify the firmware and flash it. When I get a copy of the Rom I'd be happy to give you a copy. If you find a way in the meantime to root it please let me know.
If anyone else has any ideas or if someone with the 4.1.1 firmware could provide a copy I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

yup 4.2.2 so in the end till i see a working method im giving this 1 to my younger sibling and getting the nexus 7... hopefully itll be an easier and less stressful time. hope you get it to work.
I figured it was the updated version. They seem to have patched the updated version so most root methods won't work. It's good from a security standpoint, but I wish they would provide a way to root if that's what you want to do. It's a tablet, not a phone so locking it into one provider isn't an issue. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be happy with the nexus 7. That's what I have and I'm very happy with it. There's tons of support and custom roms. Rooting it is super easy too. I used wug's toolkit and I had it rooted, did a nandroid backup and installed twrp recovery in about 30 min. If you do happen to root the em63, or get a copy of the 4.1.1 Rom, please let me know. If anyone else has any ideas, or anything, please post. Thanks.
Hope this helps! I got it!
I hope this helps the EM63 users!

I was able to root my Gigabyte em63 with Root Genius with no problems.
I'm trying to find if anyone has a rom or if someone has gotten twrp for this model. My internal memory became unmounted or something because my total space is 0bytes making it impossible to do anything. Boots up in factory everytime and I can't install any apps.
Anyone have any luck?

Envizen has the stock firmware for the EM63 posted on there site. I don't know if it will work on the Gigabyte branded tablet but it does work for the Apex branded one without a problem. Just Google search for the Envision website and look for the EM63.
Recently I got my hands on this Android device but for some reason I can't root it using any of the currently available methods. I've enabled USB debugging, enabled installation of APKs from unknown sources, and tried many tools such as Framaroot, Shuame, RootGenius, vRoot, MTK Tools, even the latest update of Towelroot. I've even tried manually rooting using the psneuter method, but none of them worked, either the tool would say that the exploit was not effective on my device, or the procedure would progress as usual but after the final reboot, my device still doesn't have root permissions (checked via Root Checker app). Does anyone know why this happens or any method to gain root privileges on my device? Here are some of its specs:
CPU: MTK6592 Octa core @ 1.7 GHz
Android: 4.4.2 KitKat
Baseband: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V34 (2014/05/06)
Kernel: 3.4.67 [email protected] #3 (2014/05/28)
Build Number: KOT49H.G9006VSKSU1ANCE
Custom Built Version: 1401178095
(Please see attachment for more details via MTK Droid Tool)
The device is a Chinese clone device so some model numbers may be spoofed but I can confirm at least that it is running the real 4.4.2 KitKat. I'm not too experienced with Android though, so sorry if I've missed anything important.

Please try the VRoot

I consulted XDA user S7yler and he sent me this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401
I followed it and managed to gain root privileges on the device. (The tutorial forgot to mention that you need MTK drivers installed beforehand)
The specific device model is MAC A215, and the tutorial guides you through reading back the ROM image, patching the boot and recovery images, flashing them back onto your device, and then installing superuser binaries.
He also has a detailed post about the HDC MTK6592 family of Galaxy S5 clone devices here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761971
Although a pre-rooted ROM is provided there, I strongly suggest making your own patched ROM using images extracted from your device as I have noticed that even though our device hardwares are the same, they may be running different ROMs so any provided pre-patched images may not be fully compatible.
Be sure to thank him if this works for you.

Thank you very much.
Download drivers for mtk preloader (you can find it on the forum).
Link your phone with usb cable without battery and open the latest FlashTools.
Download this rom:
needrom . com/mobile/rooted-s5-hdc-from-ibaby888-mtk6592/
Open it with FlashTools (and with the phone linked via usb without battery) click on download button and put the battery in your phone.
Wait for driver installation and wait for flashing.
Remove usb cable, the battery and after 5/10 secs reput battery in.
Power On and wait for the first startup (a few of mins).
Flash SuperSu Zip installer from recovery (you can find it on the forum).
Install a root explorer.
Delete nvram folder in /data and wait about 30 seconds. Reboot and rewrite imei with mtkdroid tools (If you don't have one steel it from and old phone and after destroy it because if your carrier find two identical imei on the network put they in blacklist).
Reboot and check the network and the right imei change with *#06#
Same problem with my G9006V phone. None of the tools posted above are working.
I don't need so badly to root my device, since we have no CM 11.0 ROMs for our device (I had CM ROMs on all my old phones and I actually love it).
The only fact that is annoying me is that I cannot edit the build.prop file, in order to get rid of that stupid 320 dpi. I need 240 dpi on my device. VRoot says that my phone is rooted but I cannot access any files and Root Checker is actually telling me that my phone isn't rooted lol. Root Explorer and File Explorer are telling me that my device isn't rooted so I cannot browse system files.
Anyway, I'll wait for an "one click root" app for this model too ... I'm sure that sooner or later this year we'll have a proper ROM too.
If you find anything new, please let us all know. I already subscribed to this topic.
Best wishes to you all and thank you in advance !

I couldn't unroot my motorola mb526 with android 2.3.6 too. I struggled 3 evenings till late in the night to try different unroot software, and guess what! I tried FRAMA root and that was working!!! I downloaded the APK file somewhere with the laptop and then I put it on the sd card and then installed it on my phone. With rootchecker I checked if it was unrooted or not and i simply couldn't believe my eyes, UNROOTED with such a simple app within a few seconds! Upgrade was going smooth and now I have Jelly Bean on my phone ( Wanted actually Kitkat but the installation was aborted the whole time)
Kind regards, Evelyn from the Netherlands
Cherry Mobile Pulse Kitkat Interface MT6592 4.4.2
Hi,
Same here, been trying to root my Cherry Mobile Pulse KitKat MT6592 4.4.2 since i bought it 1 month ago. Tried towelrootv1,root genius, framaroot, Vroot, SRS, Zroot, Kingo, mtkdroid tools but none of them worked. Developers, please help.
I am going to try the rom posted in the post the ibaby one.. i have the g9006v hdc.. any tips?
Im finally going to have rooted rom. Ive tried endlessly to get the imei from my other phone onto this one so itll register on at&t and now itll be possible after i delete the nvram and use mtk droid tools to enter it it been a nightmare but you get what you pay for I guess lol
Ok got the rom installed(s5 rom ibaby888) on my hdc g9006v. It is rooted and I deleted the fefault apns and entered the straight talk one put my sim in and wont register on att network. I even tried to make the imei the one from my existing phone and still no luck. Everything else works flawless Im sure I am just missing something. I deleted the nvram folder with root explorer also and redid imei. What else can I try to get it to register on network? Any way to manually add fields to the apn? Its checkboxes instead of writig apn type.. i juat check dwfault, mms, and suppl.... any ideas?
Hello everyone. I wondered if anyone could give me some help with updating my Ascend Mate 2 model MT2-L05 to 4.4 KitKat?
I received the phone on Thursday and it came with 4.2.2 installed.
It shows build number as : MT2-L05V100R001C17B912
From my searching, this appears to be the China Unicom version. I have been to updates on the phone and searched OTA and i'm told that the device is up to date. I have no option on the phone to update from SD card.
I have downloaded the 4.4 update ROM from the official Huawei site for the MT2-L05 and have tried flashing it with the 3 Button bootup method and I receive this message when the autoflasher starts :
checking Module MD5RSA...OK
checking Module CRC...OK
checking Module...CURVER...OK
checking Module VERLIST...
sd_update_func.....fail
then above this recovery gives me 4 options :
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I then choose reboot system and the phone starts up no problem.
I have tried putting the dload folder on a 16gb Lexar sd card, a brand new class 10 Sandisk ultra sd card, and i have also tried putting the dload folder on the phone's internal storage and i get the same error message every time i try to update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

KK is not available for the phone in the US... yet. Apparently, it is coming but for now, you are stuck with JB.
Thank you for the reply zzEvilGeniuszz, but I am in the UK, and I own the Hisilicon powered Ascend Mate 2 from China.
I do not own the US model, which i believe off the top of my head is Model no : MT2-L03.
I have the correct 4.4 rom downloaded from the official Huawei chinese site and i have also tried the needrom version ( which i think is exactly the same as the official one ), I just cannot get it to flash correctly.
Best Regards !

The only problem is that most of us have the US variant. I personally can't give any advice as to what to do and I'm pretty sure most of the active members on this mate 2 forum will be the same. :/
I am curious, if @4L0M uploaded the KK update to one of us, couldn't altering the build.prop to the same specifications as the US version make a difference? Meaning, if altering the build.prop to US version, then installing, would that work???
I don't think that would work.
There are currently 5 different official 4.4 roms for download from the official Huawei Chinese support site :
MT2_C00 : China Telecom
MT2-L05 : China Unicom ( My Ascend Mate 2 i think, although i see a lot of references to C00 too, so I am a bit confused.)
MT2-L05 : China Unicom Channel
MT2-L02 : Mobile Channels
MT2-L01 : China Mobile
I just extracted my build prop file and it says I am running version : MT2-L05V00R001C17B107SP1.
I have found out there are updated versions B109, B110, B111 and B115 of 4.2.2, so i will see if I can hunt them down and flash them in sequence, then try to flash 4.4
I don't know enough about reading my build prop to work out if it's any good to you, but i can upload it somewhere if you would like to have a look, bearing in mind, at the moment it's only 4.2.2
Ok, so I found all 4 update files and downloaded them. They are about 900 mb each.
I put the first update B109SP5 on my memory card, did the 3 button fastflash startup, and IT WORKED ! ! ! It flashed no problem, then rebooted.
Update Successful. The mate 2 had been on for about 2 mins, then a notification came up telling me that an update was available for the device.
Update was called B110.
I downloaded this ( was about 45mb, it rebooted. SUCCESS !
I then went to settings, Updates, and I now had more options in the menu !
I chose Update online, it downloaded and flashed another small update called B111.
Reboot Success !
Yet another online update , ownloaded, Flashed success This Update was B112.
I then went to online update again, and it said B408 update is available. This one is 4.4 KiKat !
Before i downloaded the 4.4 update, I installed Play Store from .apk i downloaded using the stock browser as none of these updates include the Play Store. I then downloaded Root Checker, as i had rooted the Mate 2 last night. I had lost root annoyingly, as I was going to try to use OTA rootkeeper to try and keep my root, before flashing 4.4
I tried downloading KingRoot apk from playstore, as this is the root manager I had installed yesterday, but I couldn't root with KingRoot.
4.4 is downloading as we speak...............or as I type, to be precise.
Hello again.
I successfully flashed my MT2-L05 to 4.4.2 KitKat at the weekend. Initial impressions are very good.
It seems to have freed up about 400mb of more RAM compared to 4.2.2
4.2.2 free ram at boot up 800mb
4.4.2 free ram at boot up 1245mb
I now have emotion UI 2.3, but haven't used it as i always use Nova Launcher Prime. The phone is miles snappier on 4.4.2, it's a noticeable improvement in speed around the UI and general app opening and viewing of websites etc. The pulldown toggle menu now has a nice transparency to it.
The lockscreen now has a pullup menu at the bottom in the dead centre for a pullup instant access menu to Calendar, Calculator, Torch and mirror apps. There is now a camera icon on the bottom right to instantly bring up a camera from your lockscreen.
4.4.2 on Ascend Mate 2 doesn't appear to support Album artwork on Lockscreen like my Note 2 4.4.2 did.
I also consistently have 1000 less points on Antutu benchmark ( 27,000 ) on 4.4.2 compared to 4.2.2 ( 28,324 )
I also have one more question if anyone can help me. My IMIE number on my box is the same as the one listed in status on the phone, yet the serial number on my box is now different from the serial number my phone shows in phone status. I don't know if this was always the case, or it changed when I flashed 4.4.2
Which one do you think i should Email to Huawei to see if they will send me an unlock code for bootloader?
I have tried for the hell of it Towelroot, Framaroot, Vroot, Kingo, Kingroot, SRS root, and Root Genius to try and root 4.4.2 to now avail. Root Genius told me it was successful, but no root on reboot.....which sucks.

I can't get antutu to work on mine. Also on stock 4.4.2. Not really an issue thought. There's a thread on rooting ham2 here that seems to work without the need to unlock bootloader.
Hi scpion. Thanks for the reply.
Antutu works perfectly for me, so not sure what the problem could be mate.
I managed to Root 4.4.2 in the end using Root Genius 2.0.1.3
Regards !

"then above this recovery gives me 4 options :
reboot system now

I then choose reboot system and the phone starts up no problem."

I'm in the process of making cm11 and cm12 for the US version of the MT2. It would help greatly if I had a dump of the 4.4 system files for this phone. Unfortunately I don't know how to extract them from the proprietary format. Would anyone be willing to help me out with a system dump from their 4.4 phone? Please PM me and I can provide detailed instructions. You will need to be rooted.
All the US owners would be hugely grateful.
Thanks!

I uploaded a decrypted update image from the MT2-L05 in this forum months ago.

Hello,
i know there is plenty of this kind of threads. But i really need simple guideline , already tested way to root this device. I have rooted couple phones, (note3, sonyz3, galaxy s4, etc), but never this model before, or any model where i have to touch the bootlocker.
So, this is now new to me and looks like there is too many way to do that, and it´s confusing. This girls is on fire, at least my brain are
The phone is my 12 years daughters phone, and my son has also this phone, and the internal memory is straight from a...
So i assume, only way to solve this is root the phone and use the external memory as internal memory, right?
And what about this, have you tried this, is it valid way ?
(Tried to put url, but i am newbie, so i can´t, but what i ment is one click root, is it even possible)?
Anyway, can someone please give me a hand and tell me easiest way. The way which working and tested
I´ll appreciate this very much.
Have a nice monday all of you.
Br,
Satu form Finland
this is a good tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-touch-t3247939 for unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery
but rooting with an old version of su, you need to search for the newer su version, and beware, do not update su from Play Store
one more thing, you didn't mention Android version of your devices, settings-> about phone
for root you need a specific way for Android version Lollipop or Marshmallow
