I'm really wanting to root my Alcatel 4015T phone, I've done many hours of searching around and have tried dozens of options.
The phone is obviously a no-name phone and a uncommon low-end model so it appears few people have heard of it meaning there practically no support for rooting it. To give more information its AT&T Prepaid Go Phone. I don't see OneTouch anywhere on the phone but the battery does have OneTouch printed on it so I don't know if they're connected just because its on the battery.
Its an adroid phone, meaning it has to be able to be rooted, even if there's no support there has to be a way to, and I'm passionately determined to find out how. I've been at this for a long time, many days, and have tried lots of options.
The closest I ever got to rooting it was telling it to reboot into recovery mode via adb which took it to a special fastboot screen, but from there the phone froze up and the battery had to be removed and re-inserted. fastboot utility acted like it was talking to it and working with it just fine, but the actual phone just sat there with FastBoot at the bottom doing nothing.
So that was the closest I could get to unlocking the bootloader and rooting it out of all the methods I tried. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kingo Root didn't work, it said rooting failed. Are there any other ideas?
Hi there,
You can try one of the generic root methods at the top of the list here:

Please be patient,& Gentle with me, I'm new here,,, (TY) Hi, I have a Pantech P9060 (old I know ) Android 2.3.4 , Gingerbread( Stock Rom). It's rooted. It will turn on, load in the boot screen- and stop there, and if I touch the power/menu keys, it will start the loop acting boot process, without re-starting the phone , just continuous boot screen. I have changed the boot screen probably 3/4 times from the original AT&T screen using Jimmy Rummel apps, Rom Installer . I've tried returning back from backup, Titanium Pro, I backed up to google drive as well, but regardless I can't seem to reset to factory( which I've done before), or even update, Nothing.. It's so frustrating. I've searched these forums inside out for a solution as to not bother you guys with my old phone issues, but I have to admit, I need help with this. I don't think it's hard bricked, I'm thinking I may have flashed the wrong Rom( im not sure though) trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 .. Not positive though. I sure hope there's someone to help me here, It wont connect to the PC syncing, Pantech PC Suite, yet my pc shows the phone in Device Manager and Computer. So I'm hoping I've done something simple, :/ stupid,,but simple. Anyone help me out ? Thanks in advance.......

Hello everyone I'm new to XDA, and a total noobie when it comes to tablets and computers. I have a tablet which was purchased over 1 year ago from one of the shopping on the internet sites, it was supposed to be a Wondermedia WM8850. 7" tablet.
But it turns out to be a Eken Mid 7 W70 GSL.1680.Z7Z67 030A. It is showing just a blank screen you can see that the light is on in the back ground but it doesn't respond to anything. I have tried all the button pressing, run battery till empty, and then recharged, but it won't respond. I did get it to go into recovery mode once but it wouldn't go any further. I thought I would ask if anyone had had the same problem and was able to solve it. Thanks for any information, its much appreciated. pin62.:fingers-crossed:
Hi,
You likely need to try flashing the stock firmware again. But I can't find anything relevant on XDA for that. You can ask in the following section about it, or you can try contacting the manufacturer about firmware and flashing instructions.

My problem started with changing my Screen DPI using an app, I accidentally set the dpi to a low number . that made my screen smaller and the icons to get bigger, in short I can click on anything. Phone is practically unusable now. My phone is Rooted but I don't remember if I had USB debugging on. My PC Can't detect my phone on ADB Tried installing and uninstalling with no luck. I can connect using Fastboot Mode though. and for the recovery method, My phone only displays an Android with his Belly open and a big red exclamation mark on top of it. I desperately need help. I know I can fix this by just flashing a stock rom but I can't find any online, theres also no Custom Rom that supports my phone model. so Please help, I tried everything I could.

I've been trying to get SuperSU on my new phone for hours yesterday and hours today and it seems that absolutely every method I try has some kind of error somewhere and it's getting extremely frustrating. The only actual root I've been able to accomplish is with Kingroot, but I only wanted to use that to install SuperSU and then uninstall Kingroot with it, but it refused to install so I just uninstalled Kingroot and am back at square one.
After literally hours I finally managed to get ADB to see my LG Pheonix 2 so that I could boot in to recovery mode. That is seemingly the only way to do it (besides Kingroot) because I've found absolutely nothing anywhere specifying how to do this with the buttons on the phone and no known methods for other phone models have worked on mine. Well, I'm finally into it, but to no surprise there's another problem--the dead Android icon is displayed over a black background without the recovery menu. I have some hope left that if I can access the recovery menu I'll be able to root my device with SuperSU. So, with that said, how can I make the recovery menu come up when I'm on the screen with the dead Android logo?
Also, my phone doesn't seem to have any fastboot or bootloader page either. All it does is reboot the device like normal
Any help would be extremely appreciated :crying:
