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.

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).

How to root RCT6378W2? I am noob so plzz tell me step by step Ty
The first step would be to acquire a stock firmware version from RCA. If you can't find one on the internet, you could try calling their customer support, indicating your tablet type (RCA 7" Dual-Core), and telling them you would like a copy of the stock firmware update image.
Also. Always search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518795
