Alcatel Fierce is a low budget decent phone for $150 from Tmobile. Checkout gsmarena or phonearena for specs. I just got one rooted using Motochopper.
Phone : Alcatel Fierce
Driver: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/faq/usbdriver.html
Root tool: motochopper - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
requirement; must have drivers and adb working. also enable developer mode by going into settings >about phone and click 7 times on build number. then when developer mode is enabled, select usb debugging. you can verify by connecting phone and run "adb devices" command.
once u have all the tools, unzip motochopper file and use run.bat file. you will get an install prompt on the phone. make sure to proceed with that otherwise run.bat file will stay still in the middle of the process.
hope it helps. motochopper confirmed working on this phone.
You are the man!
Thank you!!!

Sorry...I can't answer your unlocking question. However, did you use the OP's method for rooting or did you use the E root method mentioned by darkmash?
Thanks,
darkmash, thanks for your tip. I didn't know about the other tool. if you have a link to the tool, please share.

glad motochopper worked for you. all credits go to the developer.
regarding unlocking, i have no answer. this phone just came out. so you will probably find the unlock code on ebay in a while. or if you have tmobile service or if your friend has tmobile service, you can have them call tmobile and request a code.
So I just picked this phone up on prepay and I must say, for $149.99 you cannot really get much better. Rooting was easy and quick, thanks OP. Anyone know if there is a recovery or custom ROM in the works anywhere? I'm thinking this phone will not get any development but, one can hope.
rooting the fierce
I rooted mine with( framaroot) ...oneclick root for the fierce...download to phone and click on it..simple...make sure to use the "borimir" exploit for the fierce..you can download straight to phone, no need of a pc...do a google search on framaroot for download links.
Pre-pay to regular service
This may not be the right place to ask this, but I'm thinking about getting this phone for my parents. We have regular t-mobile service but I don't want to go through the hassle of changing my plans so I was thinking about picking it up as a pre-pay phone. If I get that, will I be able to insert a normal t-mobile sim into it or will I have to root/unlock the phone? Thanks!

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?

WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS​
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.​
How to check if you tripped the root counter
Once your device is rooted via either method - the device secret service menu will show that you are rooted.
To check:
1. Go to dialer
2. enter 3845#*850#
3. Scroll to and click on LG RCT
4. click Display Results
Here you will see that it shows the device is rooted
Once the device is unrooted - the setting will be reset to No Root

How to unroot your LG G3 and return back to stock
My G3 from AT&T is on order and should be in my hands in a week or so. What firmware version comes with the phone out of the box? Should I root immediately to avoid any patches from being installed?
My reason for asking is based on my experience with the Moto X. I realized too late that accepting the standard upgrade to 4.4.2 via OTA would eliminate any chance of rooting. I want to make sure that I don't fall into that trap again.

According to a friend of mine, towelroot will not trip the QFuse, only the root counter. If you read post #2 on this thread that issue is addressed.

QFuse will only be tripped if the recovery or rom is changed... The root counter will reset to No Root if you use the unroot method I posted
Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
Does it also remove the line about the first time you rooted? Also, when you say Rom is changed does that mean debloating/removing carrieriq/using xposed will trip it?

I rooted the phone using towel root - used Root Explorer to uninstall Bloat - installed Xposed and G3 TweakBox... then I checked to root checker in the hidden menu and it showed that it was rooted but the QFUSE was intact... then I unrooted using the method i posted.. Not only was the phone unrooted, traces of xposed installation were removed, and the root check in the hidden menu showed No Root with no additional information - also the QFUSE was still intact.
This is my experience and I have tested it twice. However... as always... Your mileage may vary...
Many thanks. I hate to sound like anoob, but this lg is new to me (coming from a gs3 where I avoided Knox counters until I sold the phone).
Working here. Thanks!
So let me ask you guys/gals is the bootloader locked than? Just need to find out before I go purchasing this phone through AT&T, thanks.

The bootloader is locked... Although you can root and install xposed, run root apps, and Debloat it's not likely that the bootloader will be unlocked anytime soon... So no custom recovery and no rooms.

If you replace the KingRoot with super su and up date the binaries after restart you will be bricked on the Cricket Wireless LG G Stylo (H634).

I dont seem to have the same issue. Rooted with Kingroot, supersu me to supersu, and working like a charm. I posted the DLL and TOT files for lgflashtool in another thread as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/help/h634-cricket-stylo-img-kdz-t3344896
So I used a 5.1 root method on this forum but can seem to undo it. I was waiting on updating to 6.0 but it seems I won't be able to unless I remove the root. Im stuck .
Did you root it manually yourself or just flash the rooted system img from 6th_Hokage? If you flashed the rooted system image, you should be able to flash the stock system img right back to the device and be 'stock' once more but I could be wrong on that.
If you manually rooted it with some other method I can't say for sure about an unroot - I just got one of these Boost Stylos yesterday so my experience with this model is limited. I had the MetroPCS model a few weeks ago and was able to do a bit more with that one I suppose.

Yesterday I got an LG G3 D850 (AT&T Model), and the first thig I verify was the software version to begin with the rooting, recovery flashing, moding, you know all the cool stuff we found on XDA.
But for my surprise this phone had official Marshmallow (OTA updated) and without root acces or a custom recovery on it, so I said @&%#$ this @&%$# because I knew this wasnt good news.
So after calming down I started looking for a root method but Oneclick Root fail, kingo root fail, King root actually root the phone but after a restart the root acces was gone, I keep looking for a permanent root method but found none, Instead I found some tutorials showing how to make the Kingroot acces permanent but they used their custom recovery to flash an img that do this AAAAND I didnt had nothing.
Then I found this tutorial http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-locked-bootloader-bump-xdatv/ it shows how to flash the TWRP recovery, using flashify and a custom TWRP img for each LG G3 models, the only requirement was HAVE ROOT ACCES.
I had root acces but temporarily and the tutorial didnt mention anything about Marshmallow, sooooo at my own risk I flashed the recovery img with flashify, the app ask me to reboot, I cross my fingers and VUALA! I got a beutiful error message saying "BOOT VERIFICATION FAILED" spiced with blue and red ligths blinking, I grabbed a cigarrete and went outside and thik how to use my new paperweight.
Buut! I took the battery out and turn the phone on and it still boots, but the recovery was ruined, I kept trying flashing the recovery without succes. I was losing hoppe at that moment and as a last resort I thought in downgrading the phone but everywhere I looked at was a warning message saying "Only for D855" "Only for D855" Do not try to downgrade from MM on other models, I saw others used Lollipop AUTOREC on Marshmallow and briked the phone.
I was a horrible view, but after hours looking for the solution I took the risk of downgrading using Lg Flash tool and an old kit kat TOT for the D850 I had. And now I will explain what I did step by step.
First of all you will need:

And you don't need to install kingroot either to install twrp on the d850
So to clarify, can LGUP be used to downgrade the AT&T LG G3 (D850) from marshmallow even though in that original post it says for the D855 only?
Because I tried the other method with no success. I also tried a suggestion someone else has given elsewhere about using kingroot to root, then using a paid playstore app called supersume to overwrite kinguser. It failed because as stated root doesn't survive reboot and the process was dependent on rebooting.
Thanks for all the info guys.

LGUP is the only way you can downgrade or flash firmwares once your MM. I've stated this in my threads tons of times. I really do need to edit that part to take D855 only out lol.
It only said D855 only as the D850 couldn't be detected at that time.

There's never been an issue with hotspot if using the device on AT&T. But if your not on AT&T hotspot won't work correctly unless on a custom rom.

Sorry I did not see that you where on MM. You'd first need to downgrade to root etc to flash a custom rom. Z

Yesterday I got an LG G3 D850 (AT&T Model), and the first thig I verify was the software version to begin with the rooting, recovery flashing, moding, you know all the cool stuff we found on XDA.
But for my surprise this phone had official Marshmallow (OTA updated) and without root acces or a custom recovery on it, so I said @&%#$ this @&%$# because I knew this wasnt good news.
So after calming down I started looking for a root method but Oneclick Root fail, kingo root fail, King root actually root the phone but after a restart the root acces was gone, I keep looking for a permanent root method but found none, Instead I found some tutorials showing how to make the Kingroot acces permanent but they used their custom recovery to flash an img that do this AAAAND I didnt had nothing.
Then I found this tutorial http://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g3-locked-bootloader-bump-xdatv/ it shows how to flash the TWRP recovery, using flashify and a custom TWRP img for each LG G3 models, the only requirement was HAVE ROOT ACCES.
I had root acces but temporarily and the tutorial didnt mention anything about Marshmallow, sooooo at my own risk I flashed the recovery img with flashify, the app ask me to reboot, I cross my fingers and VUALA! I got a beutiful error message saying "BOOT VERIFICATION FAILED" spiced with blue and red ligths blinking, I grabbed a cigarrete and went outside and thik how to use my new paperweight.
Buut! I took the battery out and turn the phone on and it still boots, but the recovery was ruined, I kept trying flashing the recovery without succes. I was losing hoppe at that moment and as a last resort I thought in downgrading the phone but everywhere I looked at was a warning message saying "Only for D855" "Only for D855" Do not try to downgrade from MM on other models, I saw others used Lollipop AUTOREC on Marshmallow and briked the phone.
I was a horrible view, but after hours looking for the solution I took the risk of downgrading using Lg Flash tool and an old kit kat TOT for the D850 I had. And now I will explain what I did step by step.
First of all you will need:
LG flash tool 1.8.6.527: http://download833.mediafire.com/vyey6xwovvpg/dp93tvcbf4kqvup/LGFlashTool_1.8.6.527.rar
LG D850 STOCK KIT KAT: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G3%2FStock%2FAT%26T+D850%2F
LGUP8974.DLL: (Say thank you to him)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63266194&postcount=84
Now fallow this tutorial using the DLL and TOT we downloaded : http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Now you have Kit Kat, and from here you can use kingroot to root the phone and now we can finally intall TWRP using the bump tutorial, this time will work perfectly:

This is my first post, sorry for my bad english lol, I hoppe this help you.

I know this thread is about downgrading but how do you update from 5.0 to 6.0 ?..I'm using an unlocked d850 outside the US .

The same way.. But there is no firmware file due to it being tot only. Only way sadly is to OTA update with an AT&T prepaid or H2O sim card in the device.

I was confused about that D855 line too. Were you able to downgrade your D855 from Marshmallow to KitKat?

Yes. It went without a hitch. Downgraded, rooted, flashed TWRP, and resurrection remix.

Ah, good to hear. I just realized I had a typo in my first comment. You were running a D850, right?
