I can't find any information on how to root this device at all...
I did notice in the developer options there is a "allow bootloader to be unlocked" option. Is there anything we can do with that?

i am also interested in rooting this phone, i have the firmware if anyone can make a custom recovery in order to root it.
i have tried every rooting tool without success.
I'm also looking for a root method for the v3.
It's an inexpensive, neat, non bloatware phone which is really underrated and unappreciated by the rooting community. I also have the firmware and I'm willing to donate the cost of the phone to whomever can post a successful root method?
I have heard that framaroot 1.9.1 would root this phone.
I found this solution in China web site.

Right from irulu.

Can anyone help verify the serial for the V3 2gb/16gb?
I can't find the firmware on Irulu's website
Hi
I believe that this is firmware:x1067wf1601073e.
Confirm if this is correct.
When searching for this use PC or desktop mode.

how did you flash it (using what)?
In the zip are the instructions, and the tools required (qpst or some). My device no longer works, cause i flashed by mistake another firmware from another device, it boots but the touch is totally messed up.

I downloaded the above V3 high configuration and all the tools and instructions are there in the zip file. Here is the problem though with rooting the device. The device needs to have the bootloader unlocked prior to rooting and if you check your device you'll find that the bootloader is locked on it. I've tried all the oem unlock options and none of it works because it appears that irulu has the fastboot commands turn off for the most part on our device. What we need to do now is to figure out how to edit the bootloader files, ie aboot.c specifically, to allow for bootloader unlocking, then after we do that and flash that bootloader to the device we'll be able to install a custom recovery and root it probably pretty easily. Anyways, if anyone that knows a little bit more about how to edit those files and stuff would like to get involved in this I can confirm that the above link to the V3 firmware is legit and contains the correct files and firmware.
Actually I take that back. I was able to unlock the bootloader with the command 'fastboot oem forceunlock' followed by fastboot oem unlock-go just to be sure and then I checked with fastboot oem device-info and it then stated that the bootloader was indeed unlocked. So that's good news, now we just need to figure out a way to root and install a custom recovery.
I'm pretty satisfied with the V3 2GB phone the way it is coming out of the box.
The only reason I wish to root the device is to get rid of that stupid and annoying bootup music file .
The file on the irulu site is for the 1GB V3 version phone.
I can see that that the link supplied in the past post is for the V3 2GB US LTE device ?
Is that correct?
Thank You
Going to take 2 days to download the V3 High Configuration firmware.
Anyone have a better link so far irulu has not assisted.
Thanks.

How to compile twrp.

Ended up downloading the 1.6GB file using my cell phone using T-mobile.
Centurylink fiber has some kind of blocks against Chinese file sharing .
Finally!
Okay I finally managed to root this god damn phone lol I had to port a twrp recovery.img and after trial and error more times then I can count I finally managed to flash a working twrp recovery on it and then from there flashed the latest SuperSU flashable zip via twrp and now it's rooted and good to go. When I get a chance a little later I'll post the twrp that I made if anyone wants to try out out.

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?

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?

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...
---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
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.
My rooted HTC Inspire broke so I brought an "Att Tribute" phone from walmart as it has decent specs for 100 bucks(as far as I know). The phone, though, doesn't seem to have much support going for it. Huawei's website doesn't even list it(They have a 530 which isn't quite the same). I can't find any info, any way to root it(I did unlock it using the unlock code and adb), but CWM doesn't support it directly, and emotionUI 3.0's site doesn't list it to upgrade.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this phone rooted and mod'ed? (I'd like to install a custom rom on it like I did with my HTC)
I'd imagine this phone would have someone widespread use being a walmart phone?

I got it for free by emailing huawei. There is a site that has a form you have to fill out that you email them with the information. They will send you the code in a few days.
I have not been able to root the phone though. No root software supports the phone. Trying to manually root it but isn't going well. (you can't download the rom off the emu rom site because it's not listed

Flashed but only blue light blinking in recovery mode. Not booting up.
adb reboot recovery
fastboot flash recovery Stock_Recovery
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then black screen with the blue power light blinking.
I can hold both the vol + - and power and get it to auto update the update.zip on the sdcard.
The file you sent is about 8MB. This is about the same size as the boot rom. Is this the recovery(the thing that lets you select different stuff) or the fastboot bootloader thing?
Somehow I think the recovery was restored. when I did the vol + - it updated to stock(or whatever I had on the disk, not sure). Then I used adb to reboot into recovery and was able to get the ability to update(pretty limited choices, I guess it's stock recovery and not twrp).
Anyways, I guess I can now update the os if that works....
It is the stock recovery from my Flashify backup.
Adb reboot recovery don't do first.
Fastboot flash recovery Stock_Recovery
Then reboot into recovery.

Hi there. I know this is quite late, but, I have the phone, and rooted it today. You can root it with this application called KingoROOT. You need to plug in your phone before you start the application.

Yeah...., I could go with this too, actually. I had pretty much everything from the board loaded. Including @Chainfire 's recov. I then later attempted to update the *poluza rom parts. It was failing any which way I tried in or out of twrp. Unfortunately, I am not much of a fastboot user, nor twrp.
I thought that maybe it had something to do with this updated vendor img. By the time I was done I had reformatted several times and started from scratch not leaving out steps. As far as I know. With just these images and no device trees nor a proper updater script, there is no way to tell really.
Currently and for a few days, it's been down to bare metal, and only a fastboot to look at. lol
I can't even seem to make a new factory image flash.
Never since my first android have I been this lost frankly.....
Maybe they have them now, I will look but it would also be helpful if the guys used a bit of ......'if.....then......' in their 'OP's'
"If you are using the included recovery, then......"
"If you are using this recovery then do......."
"If you wanted to use @Chainfire s recovery, then simply paste it......."

I would like to know how to upgrade to a new ROM (Lollipop or better) on my Verizon HTC One Max with the option to return to stock. Software Information: 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, 3.09.605.3, 6.20, 4.60_002, 15432, 5
I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other (common/normal?)).
My phone is now UNLOCK and S-OFF as well as Rooted (but I'm having a lot of problems with blank screens, etc. and even had the black screen with the red ! in a red triangle (and I don’t know how I got it to boot up again (pushed pwr buttons, vol +/-, etc.)). However, that is as far as I’ve gotten. Confused am I.
I don’t know how to flash; however, I’ve been trying to figure it out, but I’m lost.
I’ve downloaded a lot of files from other threads, but the instructions, while detailed, didn’t say HOW to flash or add TWRP where I (a NEWBORN NEWBIE/NOOBIE) could understand, etc. Is there a place where all this is together?
Am I out of luck or would someone PLEASE help me fix and upgrade it with the option to return to stock if needed? I would love to have Sense 7.0, if possible. I apologize for such a long post/thread.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
P. S. My phone is now Prepaid Verizon (was Postpaid). Don't know if that matters. I have pics of the files I downloaded from one of your great guys, but they are on my computer. Not sure how to upload. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR SITE!!!!!
@LoveSpock I am going to make this short and simple...
First off the Verizon Max software only goes up to 4.4.2. If you want to upgrade you'll need a custom rom which is why you S-OFF and unlocked...
You will need to get familiar with fastboot commands. Google is your friend on how to use if you don't know how to. Here is the link to the TWRP image for your device. http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Once you get fastboot setup you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command.
From there you are free to wipe then flash anything you would like. Wiping will delete your data so text, contacts that are stored on local phone(not sim or google) will be deleted.
@Flyhalf205
Thank you for your response and instructions. Does this mean I don't need to do anything to the SUPERSU that is already on the phone (and what it did)?.... Following your instructions will wipe everything?
I'll definitely need to take out my sd card. I've saved a ton of stuff on it. ...and backup my contacts and text messages.
I have some more googling and try to learn what you wrote for me to learn. I'll also have to find out what ROM to use....
Your Padawan thanks you.

Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.
If you use twrp no need to take your SD card out just go to setting and unchecked SD card and like lovespoke said make sure to dl the right file you can dl right fastboot files here on xda just search it
Hey! Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat. I've never rooted and I'm looking to root my Verizon HTC one max. I'd also like to maybe install a custom Rom but I'm a noob so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Ok so it's my understanding that sunshine will root, s-off, AND unlock my boot loader? Btw I have no idea what those terms mean. Anyway, if someone could please confirm that about sunshine, it would really help me out. I've already downloaded and installed sunshine on my phone but I haven't paid the $25 yet.
Xx Moe, I strongly suggest you READ the various threads on XDA about unlocking bootloaders, gaining S-OFF and rooting. You can easily brick a device and there's much less support for the Max now than there was when it came out more than two years ago.
I don't believe Verizon HTC One Max's can be rooted without unlocking bootloader/gaining S-OFF and the exclusive method for that is Sunshine (unless you know someone with a Java card). Once you're bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you can then "flash" any partition on the device and that's how to brick the device.
Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you start by flashing a 'recovery', which is usually the latest version of TWRP for the HTC One Max. Don't flash a recovery for a different device. (Google "Team Win Recovery Project"). Once you have a custom recovery you can "wipe" your device and flash a new ROM.
Wiping deletes all data, or some data, depending upon how you wipe, and there are not very many Verizon HTC One Max ROMs out there that are fully functional. Check the threads, one sticky thread has a listing of ROMs.
Finally, I don't believe anyone has gotten Marshmallow going on a Max, so expect the "best" you'll be able to do is a Lollipop ROM or a Cyanogen Mod equivalent.
Awesome! Thanks for the super quick reply. So yes, sunshine will s-off and unlock boot loader. That seemed to be the million dollar question since (like you said) the one max doesn't have very much support anymore. I'm definitely going to keep reading the forums because I don't want to brick my phone. I've also been watching some tutorials on YouTube. Everything (so far) seems pretty straight forward now, but you can never be too careful. Thanks for your help hgoldner!

Hey flyhalf, is there a thread on here on how to learn about adb fastboot, and flash the custom recovery for noobs? I cant seem to find it. I'm trying to install a custom rom on my htc one max but this is my first time ever rooting/unlocking an android. Ive searched the site but i cant find a tutorial on how to install the custom recovery or learn about adb yet. I have sunshine already on my phone but i havent used it yet because i want to know exactly what im doing before i pay the $25. Any help is appreciated. I already know how to get into the bootloader by pressing the power and volume down buttom at the same time while the phone is turned off.

I'm heading to bed now. If I get time tomorrow I'll try to explain. If not we can setup team viewer and I can just set your computer up for you.

That would be awesome, but i think i found something from google. https://twrp.me/devices/htconemaxverizon.html
I downloaded the sdk and corresponding java that the site recommended. I attached a screenshot of my pc to show where im at in that process.

Download the platform tools and the android usb driver. Don't need anything else.
But basically if your s-off yet. Boot into HBOOT. Power off phone and hold down both power button and the volume down button. Select fastboot using the power button. Your computer should hopefully automatically pick up drivers and call the device "My HTC" in the device manager. If not you'll need to go in and manually assign the downloaded driver using the link above to the Android device in device manager.
Download twrp image file into the same directory as the platform tools downloaded to. In windows, right click while holding down shift anywhere on the white blank area in platform tools and click on "open command window here".. From there you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img
If it says waiting for device. Check device manager and make sure the driver is installed right.

Ok, so if im doing this correctly, the twrp img should be in the platform tools folder and my computer should recognize my phone as "my htc" as shown in my attached screenshot...

Perfect! Thank you so much! now all i have to do is use sunshine to s-off/unlock bootloader and follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498746 to install custom recovery and i should now be able to flash custom roms! Thanks for your help! A donation will be coming your way soon! :good::good::good::highfive:
Almost Ready....

Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.

I've been out of commission... Sorry about the long wait.
I'm sure you've been very busy.
I found the fastboot.exe file and placed it and your twrp file into a folder on my desktop. Before I run fastboot and add your twrp img file, what would the next step be? .... I don't have have a ROM yet to add to the phone. Should I have that first? Would you please direct me to the right one for me? I noted in one of your replies to another member that there isn't a Marshmallow one, yet.
Do I need the ADB file?
Thank you,
Your Padawan.

Would you recommend uninstalling the HTC program that automatically picks up the phone?

I forget if you were s-off or s-on but you will need to be s-off or your bootloader will need to be unlocked.. You don't need a rom just yet. You could flash recovery and flash root for starters. But once you get it flashed we can start on what to do next.
Update...

Sorry... I started the thread back in January. I've been out of commission and starting over.
I had used Sunshine to S-off and Unlock. I used SU to root. I knew nothing about flashing or fastboot and am still learning. One of your original responses to my original post said that google was my friend, so I googled per your advice and found some information on fastboot.
I don't know what flash root means in your response above.
You had also gave me the link to the TWRP image for my phone. You also wrote "Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command." I've added 2 of the pics again as well as one of your img file in the directory I created when I loaded Android Studio.
The Android Studio I downloaded is the latest. Does that make a difference? I did find info on this site about a minimal adb and fastboot. Would that have been better?
I'm imagining my phone will be out of commission until the new ROM is installed, right? (See how I'm still such a Newbie/Noobie!)
Thank you!

Hey,
so does anyone know how to root this device? Received it yesterday and am waiting for root since most of the Apps I am using require it.
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Try the Kingroot tool.
Worked for me.

Well it didn't work for me. Tried both the APK and Windows version. Meh.
Ok, then I suggest you try Megthebest's TWRP method from here:
http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-2-8-7-3-megthebest-6/
Ah, I'd have to reset my whole settings, widgets, etc., then. Don't feel like it. I think I'll wait for Kingroot to update. Thanks anyways!

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 !
