I hope these links are still valid, all is good and working October 5th, 2014, if any links die, please

contact me

and i'll see if i still have a copy of the files in a backup. :)

Device was rooted using the following software, from tutorial with these listed steps (below, cannot post links yet sorry) :

Software: Vroot App – VRoot_1.4.2.3195_Setup_95.exe @ a

TinyURL

Tutorial: the root-alcatel-one-touch-pixi from

ninjaromeo

Steps:

Make sure you have downloaded the above file.

Install it on your PC or Laptop.

Make sure that you have installed USB Drivers on your PC.

Then Open the installed program.

Now connect the phone to Computer using Original USB data cable that you got it when you bought the phone. Because using other kind of cables may not be detected by the computer. So only we are recommending to use the original.

Make sure that USB debugging is enabled on your phone.

Then wait for the Vroot to detect the device.

After that click the green button.

Then in a few seconds your mobile will be rebooted.

When it reboots your device must be rooted.

Then go to the Google Play store and download the SuperUser app or update it.

Now your mobile has been rooted successfully.

Then you can remove the phone from the Computer.

Normally first boot take some long time to complete. It will install the updates on the first boot. So, wait un till it finishes the booting process.

If your phone has stuck on the welcome screen or boot screen, just remove the battery and re insert it and do the above steps again.

Additional (important) software installed:

Terminal Emulator for Android

Phone is rooted without issue :) all software installed fine but bcmon.apk (for wireless monitor mode) is not functioning by out of box root but i am working on it, arghum... aircrack-ng also does not function out of the box, titanium backup functions correctly and phone appears to operate perfect after Gmail.apk (

bloatware

) was

removed

(after many

super stressful hours

of directory scanning and OS information gathering :( but not bad for $99 and some mind numbing research lol!).

Argh... will keep posted on bcmon

Current issue (October 06th, 2014 12:48AM EST +10) = <message>command: 'cp' failed with exitValue = 127</message>

so...

install the following BusyBox to help get bcmon to work on this device:

BusyBox X

and now bcmon records are as follows:

"<record>

<date>Oct 6, 2014 2:16:47 AM</date>

<millis>1412522207853</millis>

<sequence>9</sequence>

<level>FINE</level>

<class>com.bcmon.bcmon.chipsets.Chipset</class>

<method>detect</method>

<thread>0</thread>

<message>return false</message>

</record>"

then... now... i have arghum... downloaded the entire

bcm4330/

directory from

bcmon googlecode /svn/trunk/

and simply copied to the phone's sdcard via usb mode.

opened terminal (on phone) in su mode, navigated to bcm4330/driver/src/bcmdhd/ and attempted to launch sh build.sh but now have the following error:

"can't cd to /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/app_HOME/android/system/kernel/samsung/smdk4210

make: command not found"

must say...

i dig this QR --> http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1164149

:)

and have concluded the following results.

bcmon is useless!, wifilog does not work on Alcatel one touch pixi 4007e but does on ZTE Telstra UNO T12, WiFiReaver, Wifi Analyzer and Wi-Fi Direct are all that is needed, in fact i have uninstalled bcmon and BusyBox.

Use mobiles to locate networks and normal means for wireless traversal, why else do people buy mobile phones?.
