So i still cant get my phone rooted.
I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.
Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.
I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again Any Mod suggestion would be great to.
Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?
Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...
If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.
I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.
So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead???
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.
Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?
By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.
Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.
Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.
Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.
To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.
I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this.
Are you on XP?
if yes,
Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.
It will install the drivers.
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.
I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?

That was my plan too as i have done the same on my tab. Place cwm and rom on phone and then boot in recoverymode to install rom.. But for some reason my phone wont go in any kind of boot mode.. Tried all the buttons and nothing works.. Any ideas?
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.

This is only a factory rom.
But the recovery I made would let you recovery from a brick.

What kernel and what firmware/ROM are you on and do you have a unlocked bootlooder?
Turn off with volume up +power button try stock kernel if you are on stock firmware also did you wipe cache and dalvik
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Free mobile app
stay calm its not that easy to completly brick your z ultra
search for fastboot and a guide for flashing kernel.
use e.g. the boot.img from your current rom.
enter recovery and flash a rom again!
there are a lot of good step by step guides so its easy.
more infoand another question.
The power button plus volume up trick didnt work, had to let the battery drain out. and i am currently running running pacman 4.4.2. rom and the kernel i flashed was revolutionkernel. after some more reading which i should have done earlier im pretty sure that that kernel was meant for aosp and c11 based roms. i have a different kernel, slimkat this time, i want to flash it and give it a shot but this downloaded as a .zip. how do i do this? the other one was just a .img and that was it. im sorry if these are dumb questions. ive been rooting and putting custom roms on phones for a while but im new to kernels.
red button to power off
you also have a tiny red button to power off the device if you open the lash for the sd card.
flash the same way as you flash a rom.
edit:
i dont think slimkat kernel will work but you never try you never know

where do i find the boot.img of the current rom. ?
so far ive tried two other roms, slimkat, and codename lungo. with three different kernels, revolution, pimped kernel, and slimkat kernel. the farthest i got was to get my phone to boot up but it keeps showing an error msg saying android system has stopped, and i cant get past that. I want the codename lungo rom to work so what kernel do i need to run with that? or is there a way to find the boot.img of that rom?

You need to extract the boot.img that's in the Lungo Rom zip file. Fastboot it using Flashtool or adb push it. Flashtool will be the easiest way. Once you get that on there try to enter recovery BEFORE the Rom boots from power on. If you can't enter recovery then that Rom doesn't have recovery built in. In that case you'll need to get it from somewhere. The Carbon Rom has a boot.img with working dual recovery and you should be able to use that one to boot Lungo as they are all CM based Roms.
Also when stuck with the PHONE ON and need it turned OFF. Press and Hold Volume Up + Power Button until the phone vibrates 3 times. Make sure it's not plugged in or it'll boot again. If holding those buttons doesn't turn it off, you're doing it wrong because it works without fail. Little something Sony put in there. If all else fails, open the cover of the SDCARD/SIMCARD sport and there should be a small Red Button.
Good luck.
Also note that all the roms flash their own kernel when you 9nstall them, use that first, then play when you knpw that thingsmwork. It sounds like you are trying to do too much for your current understanding.

Thanks for the help.
I managed to get it working again. albeit on the original pacman rom and kernel. I tried to do a restore back to stock and it cant restore data it says, i also cant do a backup it says the same thing. no matter. its working again and thats all i needed. thank you guys for the help.
I just had a similar problem,,,I tried to restore to the first nandroid (after rooting 757) but it stops at the Sony logo. If I do 2 restores in a row it than works....weird?

Sooo.. i understand that you have allready root rights.
Iff you do... here is an ideea:
1. go to android market and download RebootManager
2. install.
3. this app has the power to make you happy .
4. press rebootmanager > press reboot to recovery... give app root right...
5. and... voila you are in recovery. Custom recovery(if and only if you installed the right and good recovery for your phone)
hope this helps you.
Ohh.. one more think: TWRP is way better then CWM. My opinion.

Hi. I am sory that is not working.
I have thinked about what you sad. Try this:
1. Load the scatter file that is in the firmware: MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
2. Try to flash without the accumulator pluged off.
3. Plug the cable after you pressed firmware upgrade button.
If this is not working, i will try to find something that is working, when i will have some time. From time to time check this post maybe i will find something and i will upload here.
Good luck.

Seems like you need to install a new rom on your phone. Do you have a custom recovery? If yes, what recovery do you have?
I can give you a new rom and instructions on how to install it, but you will need CWM or TWRP for that.

You need to do some research before you make things worse. You will have to have a pc. Then it is a simple matter of flashing the device which will wipe it completely.

Watch these YouTube video. You get flashing procedure in SP flash tool and download link of stock rom in video description.
You need SP flash tool to flash your android.
Download from here
Sorry for saying this , but you should be aware that Rooting a device has its own ups and down/
You should have researched more and must have had a custom recovery incase things go awry.
Now that things have gone bad , the only option you have is flash a rom for your device using SP Flash Tool.
Google for your phone model and download firmware and flash the rom
If you have any trouble finding a rom or flashing it , please feel to contact me.

Guys Thanks a lot. I have successfully flashed my phone with SP tools. It has been a great experience for me as I did it for the first time even I was really excited. I really knew it that u guys help will really work. Thanks once again and love u all. Now I wont dare to flash my phone with custom rom well I will install CMW first haha
