[GUIDE] Rooting ALCATEL OT-918 (v2.3.6)

Hello everybody,
This is just a small guide I made for rooting ALCATEL OT-918 (Maybe also 918D or M) devices on which SuperOneClick fails. Most of the files are not by me so all credit goes to the original author...
Tutorial:
01) Unzip usb_driver.zip and install the drivers. (phone shall not be off an plugged in, thx dbask)
02) Copy the file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the root of your SD card.
03) Make sure your battery is fully charged and turn off your phone.
04) Head to the directory SP_Flash_Tool_v2.1134.00 and start FlashTool.exe.
05) Make sure the menu Options->USB Mode is checked.
06) Use attached scatter file creator to make scatter. (or use Android_2.3.6_MT6573_Android_scatter_918.txt)
Warnings/Errors like this can be safely ignored:
Code:
[Warning Hint] Get BMT block count fail, default BMT block count is used!
Code:
[Hint] Bootloader files are lost when automatically loading by scatter file.
Code:
Please make sure you want to go through anyway.
Code:
DSP_BL is unchecked, which may result in a boot failure
07) Check the entry with name "RECOVERY" and double click it.
08) Select the recovery.img file and again make sure ONLY one entry is checked.
09) Click the Download button and plugin your phone with the USB cable.
* Wait some time (untill the recovery file is loaded to your phone) *
10) Unplug your phone and press the volume up and power button at once
11) Select "Flash Zip from SDCard" and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
12) Confirm the update and reboot your phone. Everything should be done, phone is rooted!
Actual tutorial made by others. I only try to make it a bit more clear.

ALCATEL Scatter Retriever v0.1
Just to make this thread a little development related: I coded a tool that should be able to automatically create scatter files for your (ALCATEL) device. It is only tested on my own device but it should work for other (ALCATEL) devices too (Sources can be posted if needed).
Screenshot:
Last words
The tools and files used to make this tutorial are not created by me. The FlashTool is made by MediaTek (the company that makes the ALCATEL devices), the recovery.img is made by somebody at 592zn, the USB Drivers are made by MediaTek/Alcatel (unsure).
I wish you all a very plesant day,

download the One Touch Upgrade software from here: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/ph/products/andorid_smartphones/ot-918.html to reinstall your OS
to root, use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27178532&postcount=16

Device is upto date and exits
I did that and it says there is no other later version than the one already install on your device and it exits.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks

@kippsoft: Sorry, but I cannot give my data and cache... it contains private stuff such as contacts, emails, password and all stuff like that... nothing more to do I guess

@ mr.expdia: I am very very grateful
I am very gratefull for all that you have one to me.Your time spend and assistance is highly appreciated.
Thanks alot.
But said those images were for Alcatel OT-918?Please confirm that?
I thought those were images before you used your phone...it is okay.
And do you have any working custom rom for 2.3.6? Most of the available are for 2.3.5.
Though my problem is not solved...I have learn alot and that is exactly what I wanted when I joined xda.
Thanks to all.:good:

They are captured while rooting my phone, so yes. And I do not have a custom rom, I think you need to wait for one to be created.

Same problem was with me too. But my phone was in warranty so I got it to service center and now it will be replaced with a new one. Hey XDA Guys is there anyway we can prevent this thing? Even I did wipe all data and the phone just booted till screen where Android image comes and then restart.

Just use One Touch for alcatel users to fix it. It takes much time anyway.

Before we proceed, let me remind you guys, that you are doing this at your own risk and no one is to be held responsible!!!
This ROOTing procedures and installing of CWM works perfectly on my device, so read and follow all the instructions carefully!!!:fingers-crossed:
We can install CWM without rooting this phone, so feel free to choose where do you want to start...:highfive:
Part 1
Rooting Your Phone
Download files below and do the following procedures.
MT65xx_USB_Driver
RootFiles
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.Download RootFiles and MT65xx_USB Driver from the links above and extract on your desktop.
2. Enable USB Debbuging Mode and Unknown Sources of your phone.
3. Connect your phone into your computer and wait until successfully recognized.
You may also want to check on your computers Device Manager if the driver is properly installed.
4. Open the RootFiles that you extracted on your desktop, right click on "run.bat" and run as administrator.
5. Follow on screen instructions...
6. Go to your phone and allow to complete rooting process.
7. Your phone will automatically reboot after rooting, check your apps and there should be SU (superuser apps) installed. Done! You have succesfully rooted your phone.
Part 2
Installing Custom Recovery (CWM)
Download files below and again follow the steps...
ScatterFile
RecoveryImageOnly for Starmobile D7!!!
SP FlashTool
Preloader.bin file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By the way I use MTKDroid Tools to create the Scatter File and the Recovery Image. Just head on the LINK, if you want to know more about MTKdRoid Tool thanks to rua1:good:
Moving on...
1. Extract all the files you downloaded from the links above on your desktop, and it's better to put them on same folder.
2. Right cllick on SP Flashtool and run as administrator.
3. Click on Scatter-Loading and look for the "ScatterFile".
4. Uncheck everything except for the recovery and look for "recovery.img" and hit enter, F9, or download button.
5. Click yes then turn off your phone, remove and put back the battery.
6. SP FlashTool will start downloading the custom recovery image.
7. Wait until finish downloading...the next screen will appear and hit enter.
Congratulations!!! You have now a Custom Recovery installed. Turn your phone off, and just press VOL UP + POWER BUTTON to enter into your new recovery.
NOW your phone is ready for customization, but before doing that...SECURE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!
I dont have customROM available for this device yet, but thanks to rovo89 for his great Xposed Framework
With this great application, you can now modify your ROM without modifying any APK's or flashing from recovery!!!
Some customization done on my phone is the APM (advance Power Menu)
Volume option to set independently
I also managed to backup the stock ROM of this device, that can be easily download back to your phone by means of SP FlashTool. (assuming you have messed up your phone system and failed to work properly)
Other purpose of the full backup is for the customROM, (wish that some of our good devs here might find time to take a look and help us make a customROM out of it)
I'm not good of creating customROM, but I'm hoping that I could build one...regards to all!!!:fingers-crossed:
This is my first thread so please consider this , just post any comment if i missed anything...thanks!!!

I Have Found Many Users Searching For Root For Auxus Linea Li Root
Today I am going to provide you the process for rooting the phone. After rooting you can do a lot more in it. You can install custom ROMs, you can update the phone firmware, you can remove pre-installed application from the same, etc. Adding custom rom is the best thing you can do on it. So let’s move ahead with rooting. Remember that it is a one way proceed. That means once rooted you won’t restore things back. Also you will lose the phone warranty.​
Requirements:
Rooting means simply messing with phone permission. Sometime if you go with wrong stuff your phone will brick or wont boot. At that point resorting factory settings will only work. It is good if you can backup your phone first. And then only went ahead with the process.
Charge the device to maximum. Never attempt to root or make any changes if the battery is low. This can cause serious issue.
You have to update your system with latest usb drivers that will help your windows pc to communicate with the mobile phone. Install that.
Go in the settings and tap on developer options. There you can find usb debugging. Turn that thing on.
Download SP FLASH TOOL and keep it in a folder on your desktop.
Download the original iBerry Auxus Linea L1 USB Drivers and install them.
Download the Boot Recovery & Scatter files for iBerry Auxus Linea L1.
The last thing you will need is MTK Droid Root 2.5.3 root tool.
Rooting Process:
1.Extract the content of Sp Flash zip file in a folder. There will be a flash tool.
2.Extract the content of boot recovery and scatter in the same folder.
3.Run the sp flash took in the admin mode. In that you have to click on scatter loading. Choose the scatter file. This file will be available in the boot recovery folder.
4.The next thing you have to do is select the boot image file. You can do that by clicking on the left side of the Flash Tool.(just Click check box & click in blank space next to bootimg. and select Linea-L1_140626__boot_patched_140719-173447.img only)
5.Once done just check once again that the files are properly selected.
6.Now you have to extract the content of drivers that you had downloaded. Switch off your phone and connect it to your pc. Your pc will ask for the drivers. You have to provide the folder location.
7.When you are done with driver installation disconnect the phone and remove the phone battery.
8.Connect the phone just like that in switch off mode. After few seconds insert the battery back and then connect the phone to pc. Now in sp flash tool click on the download button.(FOR DRIVER HELP http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180436)
9.Flashing will start and you will get a completed process at the end.
10.After that you have to run the droid root software. For that first turn on your phone and from settings enable usb debugging. If you are unable to find the same then go in about and tap on build 5 times to turn on developer options.
Just connect the phone and then going Droid Root software. There you can find Backup recovery tab. Click on that and then click on super su. This will install super su user on the phone. You can then update the app from Google Play store.
U can ask a question if any of my wording is not understandable.
SP Flash Tool 3.1352.01 (5.1352.01).rar

I have this tab as above, it is locked(programmed) using an administrative app named Cellwe EMM. Basically i cannot download anything on this tab with neither usb nor sdcard including the internet. All i have to do to get rid of this security is wipe using custom recovery. When i get the tab in download mode it has this MDM DOWNLOAD BLOCK which block me from flashing and installing custom recovery in this tab. My only hope is if i can create an update.zip for twrp or cwm to be installed in this tab using stock recovery. This is where i need help,can someone create this for me or help me with a guide to do this

Hahaha not possible... the update.zip need to be signed by Samsung specifically...
Unless you get a modified stock recovery which needs to be flashed via Odin...

[C2304] Installing TWRP or CWM recovery in the Xperia C

Well, I just purchased this device and came here after that to look at what we had and I'm disgusted.
And there are several reasons for that, being:
1 - Locked Bootloader...
2 - This forum seems somewhat abandoned, which leads it to be somewhat disorganized.
EdiT:
Thanks to our friend repey6 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5704037
TWRP 2.8.7.0 is now included, and it works just ok, with all functionality.
I strongly recommend you to use it instead of any other recovery. Just make sure to backup your ROM again after installing it, as CWM or Carliv backups won't work in TWRP.
I replaced the old TWRP included in the attachments with the new one provided by repey6, but the installation process remains the same.
Plus, this was not created by me and it's mad old (2014). But still it works better than the Carliv Recovery we have available here...
So Let's go. The proccess is the same for both, just choose the recovery image you want in the end of the topic.
(almost forgot to say that if your phone bricks it's you responsibility, I tested it in mine and it is working fine)
STEPS:
STEP1- Root your phone (if it's not rooted yet).
To root your phone you'll need to:
a-Download the framaroot APK provided in the attachments
b-Install it then click in the Boromir option and the su binary will be installed.
c-Download SuperSU from google play store.
That's all, simple like that.
STEP2- Check your bootloader's S1 Version
a-Open your dialer and input *#*#7378423#*#* , then go to Service Info>Software Info> S1 Boot Version.
b- Check if yours is 2.14.J.2.6 or 2.14.J.2.13 or 2.14.J.2.16 . If yours is one of these go ahead, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
If yours is 2.14.J.0.68 do not proceed, as it will 100% brick your phone.
c- My phone has S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.1.15 and in spite of the developer having not mentioned anything about it, I risked it all and my phone flashed the recovery normally, so if your version is also 2.14.J.1.15, it should work just fine and you can proceed.
STEP3 - Install the recovery
NOW, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL HERE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE:
a-Download the mobileuncle.apk file provided in the attachments and install it.
b-Download the twrp_xperia_C.img file provided below and put it in your internal memory (not on the external). Rename it to recovery.img, otherwise mobile uncle won't see it.
Now, here's the part you have to mind, so you won't brick your phone.
Mobile uncle can install a recovery using one of two methods. One is by installing the image from your internal memory (which we'll be doing). Other is installing it from the internet.
Now, YOU DON'T WANT to install a recovery from the internet, as mobile uncle doesn't provide any image for your device. So if you flash any of these recoveries, you'll never be able to make your phone boot again.
See in the image below and you'll get what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
c - So, before proceeding TURN OFF YOUR WIFI AND DATA CONNECTIONS so that mobile uncle won't show any recovery from internet
d-Open mobile uncle.
e-Grant Super User
f-Press "Recovery Update"
g- With wifi turned off, you'll see only your recovery in the screen
h- Click it, the file size of the file I'm posting must be around 6MB ( 6210KB for CWM), if it's different cancel and download file again.
i- press ok and restart.
DONE
:good:
EDIT:
I just noticed that after flashing the recovery you might get your phone stuck in the SONY logo after it.
In fact it happened to me, but just once.
If that happens don't panick. Recove the cover of your phone and besides the SIM-2 slot you'll see a tiny role with the word "reset". Insert a needle in there and your phone will restart normally.

It should work in both, I'm using a recovery for C2305 in my C2304.
Just don't try flashing a C2305 ROM on your C2304. It will not hardbrick your phonw, but the SIM cards will not work and you will get a mad functioning phones.
Some custom ROM's based on stock firmware work in both though.

Hey anyone tried for xc 2305???

So my S1 bootloader version is: 2.14.J.0.68. Is it for sure there is nothing that can be done?

Sorry for the late reply! Haven't been able to test this until recently due to an issue getting my PC to work properly with my phone. Anyway, I would like to confirm that I was able to flash this on my Xperia C2305 that had S1 Boot Version 2.14.J.0.68. The photo below is proof of CWM running on my Xperia C2305:
Things you will need:
WMShua SuperFlash: http://soft.flushrom.com/WMShuaSetup.exe (after installing, you can change the language to English by renaming Program Files/wmshua/language to Program Files/wmshua/language_x)
Xperia C 16.0.B.2.16 FTF: C2305_16.0.B.2.16_TacoNikky.ftf or C2305_16.0.B.2.16_Congngheviet.ftf (pick one; I used TacoNikky's version)
Procedure:
1. Open WMShua, then click on Flash (not Super Flash). Browse to the FTF file you downloaded. You can choose to backup system before flash (I unchecked it on mine). Follow the screenshot below for guidance:
2. Turn off your phone. Next, hold down the Vol- (volume down) button on your phone. While holding down, plug in the micro USB cable. The LED will flash red. When it changes to green, release the Vol- button. WMShua should automatically try to install the needed drivers. After installing drivers, it will begin the flashing process. If your phone turns on instead, simply unplug it from the USB, turn it off, then try again.
The flash process may take a long time (it took 30+ minutes for me), and sometimes it may look like it hanged, but it's actually working. Just be patient. Once it reaches 100%, your phone will automatically boot up. Check your S1 Boot Version—it should now be 2.14.J.2.16. You may find that you've lost root, so you will need to root it again (I use KingoRoot). After rooting, follow the instructions on the first post to install CWM or TWRP. Good luck!
