Wait before install a Custom Rom, no stable rom are available yet; and Alcatel doesn't have a big community :)

And shell root is not necessary for a lot of usage of your smartphone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quovadissbg:
Doesn't help at all...

I tried to open the alcapwn file in notepad++ but inside are only symbols? Do I make something wrong? Can somebody upload the file with which has succseeded?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acilsekirlet:
quovadissbg, "alcapwn" is a compiled c program.

source file "alcapwn.c" is included within the same folder. if you want to take a look about the exploit you should check .c file.

IDEA: For those who want to root "automatically" (Confirmed as "working" by quovadissbg)

if you have further problems, try placing "alcapwn" in exploit folder of Superoneclick program and then select this exploit to root.

Google superoneclick and then proceed.

UPDATE: You can now download S1C with "alcapwn" here to easily root your device!

For those who want to root manually

this may come in handy for most users, copied it from my successful try of this very exploit found by our fellow:

Open up terminal or command.

adb devices (enter)

List of devices attached

1234567890ABCDEF device

adb push alcapwn /data/local/tmp/ (enter)

adb shell (enter)

$ cd data/local/tmp (enter)

cd data/local/tmp

$ ls (enter)

ls

alcapwn

$ alcapwn (enter)

alcapwn

(these are just for entertaining myself and confirming push went fine)

C:\ADB>adb shell "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/alcapwn" (enter)

C:\ADB>adb shell (enter)

$ /data/local/tmp/alcapwn (enter)

Yes, that's what I've been reading alot too, yet there appear to be a select few who did manage to update.

Reason I asked is cause the loader uploaded by OTU looks like a NAND loader - plenty of string references to NAND drivers/devices, none to eMMC. I did not investigate further, so I might be wrong, but it looks a little fishy.

When I bought the phone it was with 2.3.6 Android. Searched for upgrades but there weren't any. The rooting process went on like a charm. After using the V6 supercharger the performance is much better. :-))
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quovadissbg:
My situation was slightly different. I had to use Busybox, not Busybox installer. When you install it, check 1.19.4 version and install. Then Script Manager, choose the V6 script file, run as root and config it. After configuration the result based on Quadrant is 2828 pts, and about 3700 on AnTuTu.

I tried to dump recovery.img, boot.img but without any success. That's because the block tables are different and they are not located in /proc/mtd... If somebody can tell me which partition is for the recovery and which for the boot I can try to dump them.

Then it shouldn't be hard for you to pinpoint what the issue is.

Is /data/local/ writable? Create /data/local/tmp if it doesn't exist.

Is /system/bin/jrdebughelper present?

If all else fails find your own writable dir, symlink bugreport to /system/bin/sh then run PATH=current_dir jrdebughelper -b

Edit: alternatively you can modify /system/etc/fbboot.sh, it's 777 and run as root on startup.

I'm from Mexico, who can help me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistercheese:
yesterday i rooted my device perfectly and after that i deleted some bull****...

today i did a factory reset in settings and after it booted as normal...

it opens the jrd setup wizard and then it give me force close all the time and then starts over again

i think cuz i removed the 3d shell apk but not sure...

i also tried the one touch upgrade 1.9.4 but its telling me i already have the latest version...

is there any thing i can do to format internal memory or fool the ot upgrade? or maby bypass the setup wizard?
