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.
Alcatel OT-910
CPU 600 MHz
OS Android OS, v2.2 (Froyo)
Keyboard QWERTY
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"
Alcatel_OT_909a /909s /910
OS: Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 / 6180
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf [email protected] #3
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)

Hello
We recentlly bought THL W100S.
The Phone is not rooted and the android installed suffers from some bugs that is see alerts is chines.
I want to root the device and install a normal ROM.
I tried "Framaroot" - only the third option worked for root, it installed supersu, but the phone doesn't have a root access and when I open the supersu it tells me that the software need to be upgraded and when I approve the upgrade fails.
I tried using Vroot - same.
I tried using the cynagonmod installer - It told me the device is not supported.
Is there any other way I can root my device?
I really don't like the original ROM\
Thanks,
Rotem
Hi
I know that it as passed a month but if you still need help try this:
You can try this method (use google translate if you don't know to read it):http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/root-recovery-thl-w100s.51860/ - I know of many people that have used this and it worked but not for me. So I searched for it and I found this: http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
I managed to make it work and root my THL W100s.
Beware of this:
- The program will recognise your as HTC (for me Dream but there as been reports of other models).
- You have to install the adb drivers: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
- Downloading and navigating from the website was extremely slow for me. I believe it is normal.
- The phone will reboot my itself a couple of times. It is normal and don't touch the phone unless it prompts you something.
After the program does what's suppose to do, download SuperSU from chainfire (here on xda) to give SuperSU options and permissions.
Check if the root is done properly using an app like RootChecker
If you want to, you can also use the CWM custom recovery found in the first link. Install it after you root the phone.
Also you can use MTKDroidTools to root, backup and install a custom recovery. You can find all type of tutorials here: http://www.china-devices.com/
I hope I could help you.
Cheers
Hi people, anyone know how to root leagoo lead 2? This phone uses MTK6582 chipset, rom version is 4.4.2. I tryed root with root genius but it failed, it said that my phone is too tough to root (sorry bad english)
good question
im also looking to root my lead 2 usual tools dont seem to do the trick
Rooting is actually the first and easiest step to begin your journey on android developing, if you can't root, you won't succeed in android development. Don't worry, I will help you with root.
To root your device, I highly recommend Kongo android root(PC), it not only covers a really great amount of device, but is also able to unroot your device, all it takes is just a click after you plugged your device into the PC. Or if you don't want to use the PC, you can install an app that will help. It is called vroot, it is Chinese, so it might be a little hard for you to understand.
Kongo is not working. Stucks at waiting for device. waited about 1 hour and still stucked.
Re
Hi, try KingRoot works for me its chinese app.you can download from website kingroot.net place apk file on your Phone and install then you can root your device very easy
Thanks for the help. APK worked very well .
Is it safe to use this chinese root app
Chrome was warning about a "Possible Dangerous Download File", but I still downloaded it and scanned for viruses.
This is the APK virus scan report : apkscan (dot) nviso (dot) be/report/show/c4340bc2d1322e514e025430dc9c5d7c
I'm not an expert but i recon the antivirus picked it up only because there is lots of low level scripts that root your device i guess (cmdline files?)... and the hard-coded URL's listed in the scan point to few sites: Android.com , QQ.com, kingroot.net, ibutian.com, and non of them seem to be a malware websites.
Anyway let me know if it's all-right to use this APK and root my Leagoo Lead 2
You can use that apk. its safe and worked for me very well.
Tested now with kingroot but unable to root it.
Seems that last OTA update is the problem
Any other suggestion?
EASY DONE
Kingo root - DOESNT WORK forget it!
VROOT dont work - Forget it.
Sat back and had a think and BOOM
went to leagoo website downloaded the new V10 rom listed there.
Unzipped file, Flashed rom to phone first, only cause i wanted to update new device.
After flashing, UNPLUGGED PHONE used MTKDroid tools to flash cmw, (open droidtools, DONT PLUG PHONE IN) and go to root/backup/recovery and choose boot file, it asks to "create cmw automatically" say yes, VIOLA droidtools makes the recovery.
Then used SPFLASHTOOLS to flash cmw recovery - works great.
As i have been playing with MIUI and an Elephone P2000 had the file - UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
cant do links, so search in google "download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" and first link is the winner
booted into recovery, flashed it and have root, easy peasy

Hi guys. Im not going to lie, im a noob when it comes to rooting, so I turned here to ask for help. Now, let me explain my whole issue. Lets start with, i cant unlock my bootloader. I also cant get into flash mode on flashtool which would allow me to downgrade, and and then root my phone from there. So yeah, I cant do anything honestly. I would love it if someone would be kind enough to help me with a step by step instruction guide, or even live assistance?. I already google'd for about 2-3 hours now, and can't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mention 'EveryThing' about your phone. You can Take a screenshot of 'About Phone' and post it here.
Thanks for the reply!
I have attached a screenshot of what the window looks like.
"prntscr DOT com/8ffqdz" Sorry for the link, but I wasnt able to post it through the img tag.
Oh I also forgot to mention, just this morning I could root my phone with Kingo Root, but reading some negative stuff about it, I would still like to root it with the standard, old method of flashing etc, and I can't do some things I could on standard root.

Well, it's Xperia M2.
Let me clear that,
There are two types of Rooting methods available.
1. Permanent root
(Root access is available for ever, untill you unroot manually)
2. Temporary root
(Root access is gone, when you restart phone)
So, if you have successfully rooted your phone with Kingo Root, you no need to flash rooted kernel or firmware (its same with already root access available).
After rooting, you must have seen a app SuperSU or SuperUser or anyother that manages root permissions requested by apps that needs root (you need to grant permissions to let app work). If you do not see such any app, download it from play store.
I usually suggest Xperia users to root their devices with TowelRoot app. It is smart and simple and it does not contain any preloaded app for permissions (that means you can switch with SuperSU or Superuser)
Also, what things you could not do? let me know. I'll help you out

Again, thanks for the reply. Yup, I saw the SuperUser app, and the problems I have might not be phone breaking and such, but I would like to be able to do things like, change permissions of certain folders, which i cant do with the Kingo root, as it somehow denies the access to the folder, even tho I allowed root browser/es file manager root access. Overall, i think the problem is with the permission system Kingo has. I'd also like to mention that i would love to install Cyanogenmod on my device, but I will look into that myself @edit: Also, I would prefer to have a premanent root, instead of the towelroot and such.

You could just press the 'thumbs up' instead writing 'thanks' everytime.
Well, why do you want to change the permissions of the folders? You could mess-up your device if you change permissions for the root folders.
The problem looks strange. If you have rooted successfully and GRANTED permissions for ES file explorer through SuperUser, you should not get any problem changing permissions. Check in SuperUser app that you see ES file explorer.
Also try using other explorer app. I use 'Solid Explorer' and its great.
If you have temporarily rooted your device as I mentioned in above post, try using TowelRoot app for rooting your device permanently and manually download SuperSU.
If you want to use CyanogenMod (it'll be pre-rooted) you need to carry below steps;
1. Unlock your Bootloader
(Wipes everything)
2. Install recovery.
3. Take stock ROM backup.
4. Flash ROM.zip
5. Flash GApps (optional)
6. Wipe cache+dalvic+factory reset
7. Reboot

Problem is that my bootloader can't be unlocked. I guess there is literally no way in which i can unlock it then?

If your bootloader status says
'unlock bootloader allowed = NO'
Then you can't flash anything on your phone. Almost every ROM needs an unlocked bootloader. There will be some ROMs that can be flashed over locked bootloader but they will be stock based.
EDIT: You have a good Luck, you can flash recovery on Locked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/development/d2303-clockworkmod-6-0-4-6-t3011821
If you flash recovery successfully, that means you can flash ROM

Yup, my bootloader says it can't be unlocked. Anyways, i tried the link yo usent me, but it comes up with an error, saying "device not found". I went into recovery mode on my phone, but i assume it might be the adb driver issue? I will try to reinstall it, and get back to you.
@edit: I reinstalled the ADB drivers, and now CWM is stuck on "daemon succesfully started", but it will not do anything else. Any clue as to what could I do to fix this? @edit2: Actually, disregard what i said. It still comes up as" Device not found"

It can be a drivers issue. Install PC companion and connect your phone, let PCC install essential drivers and after that follow the same steps for installing recovery.
If you post any screenshot, that would be better.
Mkay, it worked now after i reinstalled the device in Sony PC companion. Heres a screenshot of what the CWM cmd window looks like: "prntscr DOT com/8fth1u". I assume this is good? So, all i have to do now is just download Cyanogen Mod and flash it, right?

Yup! Everything looks good. Just try to enter into recovery before downloading CM.
1.Switch off your phone and wait for 10 sec
2. switch on
3. When you see LED, try pressing either of vol buttons.
Hate to rain on the parade, but CM and CM based roms don't work with locked bootloaders for that phone, despite having CWM. It should say in the title of the thread whether it'll work with locked bootloaders.

Yeah you are right! Purely CM doesn't work on locked bootloader. But there must be any ROM available that is based on CM or even other ROMs that has some CM features.
I went through a few threads in that forum, Omni, CM, PAC, etc and all mentioned needing unlocked bootloader. Best bet is a good stock rom and Xposed to enable other features.

The precious thing is a cheap 7" allwinner a33 tablet. By apps its recognized as Astar y33.
It is a 16Gb Storage Tablet with 1 gb ram. I bought ist for 42€. :cyclops:
Unluckily i only can install apps on a 1 gb internal storage and the 16gb are only for media or movable apps. It should have 1gb ram but Aida64 said it has 512 installed.
I urgently need to give root to it, to make it work -and enjoyable. I allready tried out:
-Kingoroot (also via PC)
-Kingroot
-Iroot
-Towelroot
-SuperOneClick.exe
-and various desktop based one click rooters
and all failed.
I dont know what i can try next.
I have the ADB driver, but not a certain fastboot interface driver, which i could not find in the internet at all. I have a 64 system.
Many people with similar tablets could root them with Kingo root or Iroot, but it worked not for me and my tablet must be somehow different, it also did not had any bloat or malware on it.
Please, please, give me a hint what i could try next. :silly:
These are the specifications of the tablet:

Root method for recovery
Good afternoon!
To apply the patch-and for rooting you device, it is necessary to get into Recovery.
So try to load into recovery by this way: "Settings-> Recovery and reset-> Recovery Mode".
After rebooting, you see some menu where you should select drive(sd card) on which the pre-recorded file "Update.zip"
After finishing, restart your device use first point of menu.
Now you have a root, it is necessary to update the SuperSu by selecting "OK".
P.S.
I didn't test it but find it on some good forums. Send privet massage to me if you have some questions.

Good evening!
I tried it out right now.
It was flashable but the su binary wont let me update. How should i update the su binary? Do i need another flashable zip?
Unluckily the root checker says that root permission is not granted yet.
Update: I flashed a current Supersu update.zip with my stock recovery mode.
It says "installtion abortet".
I dunno. I ll have to use the tablet to cut vegetables. *joke
Wow, seems like suddenly root was granted.
Last thing was: I tried to root it with Iroot via PC.
It installed some adware on the tablet but the root checker still said no.
Then Kinguser detected some malware in the notification are. I fixed this and noticed that i also could remove system apps with Kinguser.
Then i retried apps that recommed root like rashr and to my surprise - root was granted suddenly!!!
:laugh:
Woah! Somehow im not so sure what rooted it now, because i already tried everything five times before already and it didnt work ^^
I think, it could be this:
Kingroot has shown me before, that my device is not supported. I could kinda request compatibility, which i did.
Maybe this magic happend unnoticed and suddenly it was rooted.
Oh ****.
Afterwards i flashed some recovery.img someone told me its for TWRP for the tablet.
Since then, its in a bootloop.
How to fix this? For now, i will just wait until the battery has run empty. (That fixed beeing stuck in fastboot mode before)
THANKS!!!

Hey dude, you are awesome! I could not find anywhere this file. At last my tablet is rooted. I have been looking for firmwares for these tablets everywhere and, as they are really old and chinese crap now, all mirrors I find are down. Where did you find this zip? maybe I can find a firmware there. I need to flash it from 0 because I did a mess with adb and deleted every system app
Hello everyone
do you have an update.zip SuperSU-v2.82
Best Regards
Great !

That's work fine.
My Tv Box is Q Plus Android 9.
Maybe it can help : You can use the rom of Vorkez 7 in Q Plus, because they have same hardware.

Hi, I have a Q Plus box too and have managed to root it but I need to bypass google play device check. I have edited build.prop successfully but can't find the global settings database to complete this. Are you able to help... does the Vorkez 7 rom allow for this? Thanks
