I have Alcatel OT-910, but i cant find anything about root & rom for this model here on xda-developers forum. I found threads for other Alcatel models (OT-908, OT-980, OT-990) and i was wondering is anyone working on this particular model? Is it possibile to have root access? stock ROM for OT-910? Thanks.

root
i have tried to root my OT-910 with SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't work.
Keeps stuck at Step #7 Waiting for Device.
also tried to unplug and replug it at this part, but no chance.
any other ideas how to get root? Some of the installed apps are useless for me and eat up my memory, want to get rid of them
rooting problem
I've got OT910 too, tried several ways to root with steps, provided for other Alcatel android phones - no luck.
Try with different versions os superoneclick. Aso you should install Pdanet on your phone and your computer to and try again with superoneclick.
Sent from my ALCATEL one touch 990
No luck still
I tried all SuperOneClick releases, z4root, GingerBreak - nothing really works. The phone is hardly operable without root - too much garbage preinstalled.
Hey, i have an Alcatel OT-909a (which is the same as Alcatel OT-910 but with a lower px camera) and i also am unable to get root access, i already know that there is a stock busybox, and have seen some files of the internal memory but still not having luck, i also flashed some CWM and RA recoveries but i just got stuck while trying to access recovery, so i have to get back to stock recovery, i think there must be a way to do at least a nandroid backup and try to root the backup and flash again, but i dont know, the CWM recovery just boot the android logo, after there is nothing in the screen, but the QWERTY keys are on like if the phone was in recovery, i had tried Super One Click 1.9.2 and 2.3.3 and got stuck in step #7 too, zergRush and GingerBreak doesnt work also, something extrange for me is that the last time i try CWM, it didnt boot into recovery but into fastboot, as far as i know internal memory is read-only except for the installation of apps and some folders (or somehow i push GingerBreak and zergRush to the internal memory isn't?), i can't push su to the xbin or bin folders, but i already saw what is inside xbin an bin (as i said memory is read-only and there are some folders that requires permissions to access), there must be a way to push su to xbin folder (or at least maybe access su in another location?) but i still seeing how?
PD: sorry for my possible bad english speaking
PD2: yes i'm a noob and i hate myself but please some of you that know of this, help us?
Edit: just curious i just push su to "/data/local/tmp" then i just tipe ./su and it appeared on the phone "shell has been granted superuser permissions"

Here an idea: Custom Rom
hey guys, if some of you (someone, anyone who might wanna help?) are still maybe reading this thread, i wonder, i have played with the phone a little (unluckly i really messed up breaking the cellphone and luckily for me, the motherboard was replaced at service center), and i have been able to pull out most of the system partition, custpack and others, (except for the recovery partition) and i was wondering if maybe there is a way to create a custom rom with those files?, maybe we could create our custom rom and flash it, after seeing around the files, i got that 909a it's using what it's looks like at least the same kernel than ot910, (actually some information is from the ot910, in the manual it refers to ot909a-s ot910 as same cellphone but with different px in camera), so maybe we could create a custom GB rom based on the files from the stock system partition, and as alcatel has relased the kernel sourcecode maybe we could even do a custom kernel?, i was just wondering if someone can try to do a custom rom with those files, as i have tried flashing some GB roms replacing files and the phone doesn't boot up to android, but in recovery you get su access and pull the other files, but when replacing files, there is a moment when the system lose adb shell access, so maybe someone with more knowleadge (as i'm new to both android and linux) can help?
Rooting -- any news?
Has anyone succeeded in rooting the device in the meantime? I had no luck with either psneuter, zergrush, or gingerbreak ...
OT-910 successfully rooted!
Hi,
thank's to the great work of giantpune over at Phandroid, the Alcatel OT-910 has been successfully rooted (see the attached screenshot)!
For instructions, cf. the thread "Optimus Elite root with an apk" at Phandroid's LG Optimus Elite forum. Put in a nutshell, you have to install the following two APK's:
1. the Poot-debug.apk tailor-made for this phone, and
2. Ministro II.apk.
Both files are linked at the end of giantpune's original post at the LG Optimus Elite forum.
Note that Superuser, but not SuperSU, will grant root access on the OT-910.
Have fun!

If your last hope is xda... then maybe you will not have that much luck, if you're stuck at TCL logo, maybe you could try using the "OTU Upgrade Tool" (by means "OTU = Alcatel/TCL Flasher") and maybe that will do the trick and then you get your phone back to stock, if not (or if you already did that), then you're a little out of luck, as far as I know, there is no stock recovery around, and also as far as I know, there is no CWM recovery, now, in case you did use OTU Tool, and failed flashing the phone, then is almost sure that your nand is bricked, if you used OTU Tool and that didn't get your phone back, then you should see if you can still flash Android Images (more accurately 2.3.3 (since 2.3.4 did brick my phone twice)), at least with a non-functional 2.3.3 image, maybe you could flash from there with OTU again, or try to modify 2.3.3 system to work with your phone, if nothing of that did result for you, then you're out of luck, because I'm almost sure that would mean that you are in a nand brick, and the only way to solve it, is sending it to Service Repair (at least for now)
now, for using OTU Upgrade Tool, you can download it from TCL/Alcatel website ( www2.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/download.html ) in the download section, select your phone model, and from there download the OTU Upgrade Tool, after downloading, install it and follow the instructions for getting the phone in "Download Mode" (in OT910 = (pressing "Q" key with the phone totally off, and after pressing the "Q" key for 30sec. or a minute, then (still pressing the "Q" key) connect it to the pc and follow the onscreen steps (that means, choosing your mobile and getting in to look for the firmware and download it)
I have a kind of "backup" of the system (I mean, every file that is in /system) but sadly, it doesn't have the properly permissions set, and so, it gives also a boot loop (also I bricked my phone once again and for worse, when it was out of warranty), so if you still in warranty maybe you should send it to service :/
that's the sad of life when your mobile is not the one that is being developed by expert developers (not even a beginner one )
Hope you can fix your phone
thanks for help
thanks man you are my captain...
I recheck the upgrade tool it just say that you have latest software.
So if you have 2.3.3 then please give me that i will update it via adb shell as i can still access it as su.

I will, but before, what version of upgrade tool are you using? (mine has a kind of strange bug that the rom is never ever able to get the last update (as always download saying there is a new update (it's a fake but anyway)), that would be kind of a problem since maybe after you flash 2.3.3 the upgrade tool will state that you're still in latest firmware (even through upgrade tool is supposed to be a service tool, funny isn't?), anyway, since you have nothing to lose (since apparently you flashed a custom recovery that didn't work for you), but, there are this two things you should try before, first (and pretty much the must obvious one) if you have warranty (as long as you're in warranty and never tried to see what's inside the phone), and two, there is a little possibility that maybe you can access adb via the recovery you flashed, even, when the tcl logo appears, try to do "adb shell" or "adb devices", so maybe you can recover your phone without the need of flashing android 2.3.3.
now, if nothing of that worked, then there is nothing to loose, if you have the android sdk, from there you can download a 2.3.3 image, that will boot, but display nothing in the screen (still you can do adb shell with su, and try to properly install libraries maybe?), if not, then i'll check if I can do one system image for you, and see what it does
by the way, if somehow you can access adb , try to do "adb pull" and pull the " /system" partition
it's really sad that we can't (at least not me) figure out, how to use the files that the upgrade tool uses ( 570mb of 10 - 520kb files)

Hi,
Today I purchased a new LS990 which was rooted by stump method. Since SuperSU was not installed I installed it and while updating SU binaries it failed and I lost root. When I open StumpRoot it shows rooted but non of the apps have root access.
I am on LS990ZV4. Even did factory reset and then installed Stump root again but still the same problem.
Is there any method by which I can get the root back. The stock tot file is 2.8 GB and I do not have that much data left.
and since I did factory reset I also lost apn settings and to use data I need shortcut master to work which requires root.
Please help.
Make sure the SuperSU you're flashing is at least 2.40. There's a link in the BarRin thread post #2.
If that doesn't work, then you'll need the tot. Stump only works one time.
But if you have recovery, flashing the correct SuperSU should work.

Well, There is a few things you can do for starters though the root files get installed in the /system/ folder of the phone (the part that a factory reset will not touch). One thing you could do is 100% factory reset here are the steps:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-cTpsDLNF8
or this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zezqSE-uTE
One or the other will work now since you do not have a recovery it will factory reset/hard reset the phone.
If that didn't work you are going to need to use the flash tool and manuly reflash EVERYTHING this should knock out the root. The other method is a little hard please note that I am not responsible if anything happens to the phone by you doing this good luck!!
Heres the link to the other method http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
if you need ANY help just PM me i'll get back to asap also if any of these methods work please donate (as a thank you)

Thanks for the reply. The first method didn't worked. Will flash the stock rom now.
Just a few questions (since I am new to G3):
1. After installing stump root and rooting the device. How can I flash recovery? I mean should I use bump method or directly flash the twrp from flashify?
2. Whats the difference between bump twrp and normal twrp?
3. Are there any special roms for bumped twrp or I can flash any rom for LS990?
4. Any other suggestion.
Thanks a lot.!!
Well, for starters DO NOT UPDATE TO ZV6 VIA OTA IT BREAKS ROOT
You can watch/do everything from this video (the info is a little outdated the root takes less then 10 mins now). Heres the link for the video:http://youtu.be/nmeER5btwDo you can download stump root from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
Next you will need to install a recovery basicly twrp is probaly the best due to its advanced features so you could dowload that from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/ls990/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-ls990.img wait 10 seconds and save it to you phone some where (I recommend the downloads folder)
Next follow this video to install twrp: http://youtu.be/k7a5hnefnnM (you can get flashify for free from the playstore)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well flashing a rom isn't that hard but yes it can ONLY BE FOR THE LS990(SPRINT). You can find a number of roms for this phone under the android develoment and original android develomet pages. You can find the links for these and more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3
See all roms are pre bumped due to the fact our bootloader is locked so don't rebump. Make sure when you get to flashing roms you download it for only the sprint lg g3. Make sure that the kernels you flash are only for the type of rom your on and make sure you install gapps when need to.
HAPPY FLASHING!
There is a difference between bumped and non bumped for starter since our bootloader is locked we need to "Bump" the recovery image so that way it doesn't need the bootloader. The link I provided has a pre bumped twrp image so you just need to flash with flashify.
All problems solved. Can someone delete this thread?

Messi got you covered.
Personally I would recommend against rooting right now. There isn't much to be done with the Aristo at this point in time except to make backups of your system. Most you'll end up doing is learning a few things about why mixing system based and systemless mods can lead to pretty unpredictable results.

This is exactly what I've wanted to do - preferably by having direct rw access to the flash, like I did on my old phone. Unfortunately the only viable custom recovery procedure right now (messi2050's) involves wiping the userdata partition (unless you somehow happen to have an unlocked bootloader). To make matters worse the userdata partition is encrypted AFAIK. Surely the keys are stored on the phone somewhere but there wouldn't be a way to get them without some exploit, and I don't know if this phone is popular enough for someone to bother researching and publishing an exploit.
There was some progress here (github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf) on reversing and exploiting LG's LAF protocol in their recovery OS, but it hasn't been updated for more than a year now. If anyone wants to play around with that code, be sure to read this issue (github.com/Lekensteyn/lglaf/issues/7) which has ongoing attempts at reversing LAF's current auth methods. I don't have the time right now to dive into this unfortunately.

Power your phone off.
Hold VOL DOWN WHILE PLUGGING DEVICE INTO COMPUTER WITH USB - this will bring it to the fastboot screen. If you have all drivers installed then you can simply open a cmd window and type "fastboot oem unlock" - which should unlock the bootloader - if all drivers are installed. Then continue with the tutorial as usual.
Is root worth it
So, I have an LG ms210 (Lg Aristo) that I've own for a little over 3 months now, but i have been experiencing this issue since about 1 week into ownership. The phone seams to have a RAM leak or something similar as about every hour it slows down substantially, usually to the point of freezing, or crashing all together and restarting on its own, even if not being touched since I power it on. Ive been thinking about rooting it to debloat, but im not sure if it will help, or if i should just invest in a new handset. I have since factory reset it, deleting more high-resource apps, and leaving it bare-bones system apps and nothing else, but the problem still persists. The carrier i MetroPCS if thats a factor, but i dont see why it would be. Any thoughts?
Rooted mine! Thanks to the modified twrp. I couldn't get into it for alost a week, then had a system update that rebooted me right to it, still had the super su zip in sd card so i flashed it and the no verity zip THANKS OP!!??

If you still have trouble reaching recovery after this, either download an advanced shutdown prompt from the market. (There's one literally called advanced reboot) or you can download a terminal emulator app and use the reboot recovery command with root.

I did that already, im trying to get xposed up and running but my model #lvl3 doesnt match what is in the terminal in twrp. I still get a weird error ph4u
Most likely shows as the lg stylo 2 plus as I guess your using the lineage backup. So just use the model of the lg stylo 2 in terminal? Guessing as I don't use xposed. What do you use xposed for?
To get it running on the aristo is to either edit build prop values to match the ms210 model, or remove the device requirements from xposed's update binary.
failed remote cannot flash this partition in unlocked state.
Anyone?
can some walk me thru this idk what im doing wrong but i go into adb i reboot bootloader and when i try to fastboot oem unlock it says device not found what am i doing wrong?
question
does this root works for lg ms210 security patch level jan 1 2018?
I believe the root is just twrp so it should work fine. Just update first then follow the steps for flashing twrp and the most recent magisk and probably dm verity thing. If something fails it can be eaily reflashed with the original firmware with correct software and the firmware image/kdz.
Edit: try to reinstall the lg drivers? Also a try a tool called minimal adb and fastboot here
Help. It just staus on "" waiting for device " with oem unlock step
Before rooting your phone , it is necessary to backup data for your phone .
Hi, everyone. I've successfully rooted several Android phones in the past, but this one's got me stumped. Has anyone successfully rooted this specific model, and if so, how?
I have a J1 mini prime, specifically a J106M. It is running Marshmallow 6.0.1 with a pending update that I've paused. I was under the impression the bootloader would be unlocked since it's not tied to a carrier. I now assume it isn't because I've tried:
kingoroot, kingroot, iRoot, towelroot (doesn't work with modstring codes either), latest framaroot (device not vulnerable to exploits error), framaroot 1.5.3 (same error), chainfire (causes soft brick bootloop, but has since been restored).
I can't even figure out how to verify if the bootloader is unlocked for sure. I tried using ADB. cd fastboot command simplay restarts the phone, and fastboot oem unlock command my phone or just sits there saying "waiting for device."
When I boot the phone holding down the volume, home, and power buttons, it brings me to a blue screen that I believe is Odin mode. Others seem to get a different screen that has the bootloader info right there.
It's been a few weeks since I've had time to mess with this. I'm pretty sure that's everything I attempted.
To verify, I have developer mode on, OEM unlocking on, debugging on, allow unknown sources on.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist a semi-noob. I've never posted on a forum before, and I'm not usually one to ask for help, but I'm out of ideas here lol.
Hello Bahamut,
Are you familar with the Odin tool flashing Samsung firmware? If yes, there is a universal root method Magisk root. There are two ways to root using Magisk:
1. install a TWRP recovery (flash by Odin) & install Magisk Root using TWRP recovery
2. Extract boot.img from the firmware; modify it by Magisk apk; flash the modified img by Odin.
Both ways successfully rooted my Samsung J3 Pro. I've google search for a while & see firmware/TWRP are available for your device J106M.
You should study Odin, Magisk before you go ahead.
Thanks. Somewhat familiar, I was saving that as a last resort out of apprehension that I completely brick the device lol I used Odin when attempting the chainfire files.
I forgot I had downloaded TWRP at one point, but I must be missing something because it appears to be a catch 22 as TWRP was asking for root access in the first place to perform this function. Is there a work around such as using a PC version instead of the app or am I just way off base here?
If TWRP recovery has a problem, you could try method 2 which involve Odin flashing only.

Unfortunately, the Odin flashing is how I wound up soft-bricking it twice and decided I'd need assistance on this model. I was hoping someone could walk me through it with the specifics, but I guess this isn't a very popular phone.:
