[XDA Assist] shelton90:
Hi guys

I bought a vodacom power tab 10 which has absoutly no suport online(absolutly nothing) doesnt even have a desktop software option .

I need to root this device to be able to wirelessly stream sound and controll my home entertainment system .

As far as i can see this is a re-branded Alcatel one touch Pixi3 (10) which also has no support online..

So I have found a few recovery/rooting options which i would like to try but i am scared to start tinkering without having any back-ups of the firmware , boot.img and standared recovery . I have tried all the desktop rooting options non work i have even tried all the full chinese options and had to translate every button :rolleyes:

So i need a way to back up all the .img files with an un-rooted phone so that i can start safely flashing custom recoveries / roms on the phone .

when i boot the phone into recovery it shows a green android with no options

when i try fastboot the phone just reboots into system but i have heard of people getting into fast boot mode but still no options on screen ..

Their is an Option in developer tools to allow 'Oem unlocking' which alows the boot loader to be unlocked ...

Please help me find a safe way to root this device.

And keep in mind if something goes wrong there is no origional firmware available online

I have spent 3 days online searching almost every Forum i can find about rooting and backups and recoveries related to this device / hadware /and similar devices and no safe options are aviable . I even created rooted firmware for my z3 compact in the prosess to practice but that device has alot of support online ..

There are a few people in my country looking for an option for this device .. and i have been in contact with them so you wont only be helping me ..

i pulled this info off my phone by mistake haha maybe it will help :
