There is only one version that i'm aware of..but u must use the "boromir" exploit to root the fierce..i have had no problems whatsoever with mine..just make sure you follow guide/instructions.

Motochopper Works

The Motochopper app worked great. I was able to root my phone. I have tried to get WiFi tether by Treve to wok but keep getting MSS error. I have tried all the suggestions, but to no avail. I have been using PDANet, and am able to hard tether, but not WiFi...which is fine by me, I am still able to use the internet connection. I have also tried to find custom roms, but no one seem to have them. I have checked clockwork, TWRP, and CyanogenMod, and a few others I cannot think of, but no custom roms seem to be available yet. Motochopper comes with superuser.apk. I was able to switch to SuperSU but had to leave superuser.apk installed until after I gave superuser permission, then SuperSU asked me to uninstall. It worked. It still did not help with the WiFi though. Any ideas?

Firmware update

I have the Alcatel One Touch Fierce. I rooted it with ease using motochopper a couple months ago. I just got a notification for a firmware update from tmobile that wouldnt go away. So I did it, thinking I would just root it again after. It said "update failed" and now I cant even get into settings. It just says "settings has stopped working" any advice? Factory reset is last resort.
[Android General] lucifersocom:
Get framaroot. Unroot your device with it. Install the update. Reroot with framaroot. That should fix the issue.

Hi.. I have the same issue after the update except I did factory reset and now I can't do ANYTHING on the phone. meaning how can I unroot via Framaroot (which is the method I used to root).. Please help.... I'm starting to panic!
[Android General] lucifersocom:
Whenever you do an OTA update always unroot first. You may have soft bricked your phone. Which would mean that you would have to install the original software the phone came with. No one has that yet, that I know. I am working on a fix for this if even possible.

rooting one touch fierce

What is the reason to root? My previous phone was Samsung infuse and I rooted to unlock so I could use another carrier. The charging port broke so I got the fierce and do not need another carrier as I have T-Mobile. Just wondering the benefits of rooting since there are no ROMs.

[Android General] lucifersocom:
Well you can still mess with settings and such with a rooted Fierce with ROM toolkit. But the custom user built ROMs will come when we find a way around the locked bootloader. If all ya want to do is root to install ROMs then wait I guess until all this gets figured out

there is this for you who haven't seen it.xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2379412
[Android General] iolpiolp8:
Just a heads up, I was able to get a recovery installed on my OT Fierce. Didnt even need a computer lol.

Note* Make sure you are rooted BEFORE you attempt

First, download this file:http://www.4shared.com/zip/3HRtqraE/TCL_P600_Root.html

Extract the zip and in it you will find a recovery.img move that to your sd card, not in a folder

Next, in the file you extracted, you will see Mtkdroidtools. Open it, then open files. Install mobileuncle.apk

Finally, open MobileUncle Tool and click Flash recovery from SD card.

Your phone should reboot into recovery (not the most up to date, but a recovery none the less). This worked for me, I'm not guarenteeing this will work for you.

wont power on

hi guys passing by to see if this has happened to anybody else. so i updated to L2RUMR0 build on the t-mobile version , i was rooted before and after updating the phone kept root which was awesome but strange , on Sunday night the phone is connected to the computer and i couldn't find some files so i rebooted the phone while it was connected (i have a 32 gb sd card installed which the phone reads as sdcard 0) and afterwords it wouldn't power on, the led light turns on but pressing the power button wouldn't do anything . still had some warranty left on the phone (t-Mobile charged me $20.00 and gave me a new phone) so when i got home started to root the new phone with motochopper and when it finished it says to press any key to reboot, and guess what happened phone powered off but wouldn't turn back on, so went back to t-mobile and they gave me another but now i'm afraid to root it. so if this has happened to anybody else or if you guys think that Framaroot is safer or think of any reason this might be happening it will be appreciated. also have to say the phone is pretty awesome runs every app i throw at it without problems and my previous phone was a galaxy s3 from sprint.

thanks in advance

Letting you guys know my experience, I rooted with both motochopper and framroot, they both work great, but it was super easy with framroot. So for anyone trying to root this phone I suggest framroot it's an app you install on the phone and root from there.

Hope it helps anyone trying to decide with which one to root. :)

I just got this phone in tonight(woot!), T-Mobile version. Thanks to all on here for the easy unlock instructions, it really helped :good: I will be doing a video review on this that includes as many fixes as I can find for the Fierce, including the root formula used here. This is a decent phone for the money, and that's something that we need more of in the T-Mobile off contract phone space.
[Android General] stunts513:
Thought i would post in place of my friend, i helped him root his first ot fierce with motochopper and it worked great, then recently they updated and long story short he had the backlight issue and because i couldnt find much info on this particular phone and i tried to restore it with a system image i dd'd only to find out that running "adb reboot bootloader" was a bad idea as the device shut off, wouldnt come on and windows detected it as a malfunctioning device, same in linux as well. So he got a replacement phone, i tryd to root it using same method, instant hard brick on reboot. He got his second phone and it had a bad charge port(love refurbished phones...).Finally he got his 3rd just now and i ran the framaroot faramir exploit and it had the same result, i'm thinking the latest update must have patched something. Hopefully he doesnt have to pay for the next one, but even if he doesnt have to i would personally love to pull the internal battery out to try to see if its fixable by putting it into a mode where you can flash the preloader and such, but that would void the warranty.
[Android General] dragon2knight:
Wow, your friend has more patience than I'll ever have,lol. I tried to do an update from the second I turned it on, and none were available. Can you post what info your friends phone has(if you still have it that is) so no one else on here bricks with this root program? Thanks.
[Android General] stunts513:
Well we tried motochopper and framaroot, heres the kicker, he still had the original phone because they have been sending replacements, and after a few weeks of his original phone not being on the battery died, and he plugged it in just now and it booted up just fine minus the backlight issue. Here's what i think is going on, i think fastboot was not included but yet the if statements that allow it to be booted into were left on, thus causing the device to enter a hard freezeup we couldn't get out of even from holding the power buttons down(though this would seem unlikely which is why i find it odd), or possibly the nvram got cleared by the battery dying causing the bootmode to reset to system, which is annoying since they internalized the battery so we cant remove it without voiding our warranty.

As i'm typing this i'm talking to him on xbox live, but he says now the stupid thing is bootlooping on alcatels logo???? sounds like it didnt handle the update too well with it rooted. His phone still says it has 4.2.2 i dont know the specific tmobile update because i need adb access i think in order to look at that, working with im right now, it might just need alot of charging, i mean it has been like 2 weeks.
[Android General] dragon2knight:
Jeez, I really hope you guys get this sorted out, sounds like a real headache! So far so good with mine...but then it's only been rooted for a day. Everything seems to be working, though, so my fingers are staying crossed. I'm rooting for ya(no pun intended ;) )

Reading every post in this entire thread (including the fake looking people randomly suggesting fishy websites for carrier unlocks) I assume we still don't have a solution for the bootloader. I would really love to see CM on this thing. I'm not too fond of the whole UI overlays on any Android. Besides some phones unleash a hidden "potential" when the ROM is changed to a more raw version of Android.

This is my side device, I got one new as a gift and I don't want to see it go down like Boost Mobile's LG Venice.
