Just picked up at Best Buy for $39 a Digiland DL718M tablet. It has lillipop 5.1 on it. I read the threads on the 10 inch digiland tablet and tried everything there that seemed relevant. This included iroot, v root, and kingo. None worked and Kingo bricked the thing on a second attempt. Luckily I was with in the 15 days at best buy so I just returned it saying it failed in a software update (which it did....) With the "new" new tablet I did not do the OTA update and tried kingo and iroot out of the box. Both failed. Anyone been able to root this puppy yet? I sure am getting no where fast. (did activate USB debug for all attempts). Tried PC and onboard software. Nothing is working.....

SRSRoot states that it is compatible but I can't get it to recognize my device even though I can see it in CMD... Any luck on your end?
Hi I picked one of these up too, surprising little $40 device.
I dont want to start another thread but would like to add that I too am looking for a capable root
Thanks.
Also looking for root - anyone flash a custom recovery onto this device?
*found this tweet says it works for this device - trying now*

Hi fourtwentybuddy,
Did it work for you ??? The site seems to be suspicious so I can't open it. I'm looking for root for this device too.
It did not work...the site downloaded the app just fine however the biggest issue has been getting the device recognized by adb. I've tried 2 different adb drivers and neither of those made the device not have the exclamation point in Device Manager.
*update*
the latest Kingo Root application for windows had the proper adb drivers for this device. However none of the common rooting apps i tried were successful KingRoot Kingo Root SRSRoot. Ill try iRoot RootGenius & MobileGo this week but im doubtful.

Ahhhhh! Sad to hear that. I guess I will wait until some root comes up, then I will get one of these tablets.
I spent the $50 and for that alone it is not that bad of a tablet...as far as feeding my itch to tinker with things - I should have applied that $50 towards a nexus 7

I've already had an Acer B1-810, which i just sent back to repair the bootloop (sshhhh don't tell anyone), yet I still want to buy this one to tinker and test how long it's gonna last. I just think it's better to wait for a root so i can disable background app and boost it a little bit. Small question: Does it have many bloatwares ?
None at all actually
Any news on people being able to root this? I have had no luck so far.
what I've learned so far
from power off, holding down volume down and power button boot into a menu in Chinese.
the top item is a system test
the second item displays test results
the long item is some sort of debug menu
the item below that clears/wipes personal data to factory reset(useful if you forget your lock code)
the bottom item reboots to normal operation
the volume down button navigates the menu, the power button selects choices, and the volume up button acts as a go back button in sub menus.
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------
the OEM Android version is nearly stock I did the update and am at 5.1
the developer options is missing the unlock rom option, which is the easiest way to get to root.
these universal adb drivers seem to work
github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
as does this fastboot:
code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/detail?name=fastboot-win32.zip&can=2&q=
the fastboot menu is in English, which is nice, but the partitions are write locked, and I haven't figured out how to fix that yet.
and I recommend the ap ' volume in notification ' to solve lolipops refusal to actually change the volume!
So, no one has figured out how to do this root yet? I'm dying to know and I would like it rooted. I've tried every method, even the PC ones. iRoot does not work like I hoped it would :/
getting closer
so it dawned on me i can use adb to reboot into recovery mode, which i did and is in english!
i then tried to sideload, and it told me i had to use adb version 1.0.32 or newer, quick download, and unrar later into the same directory i overwrote my old adb files.
from there i used adb reboot recovery to open the stock android recovery, it provided a dead android robot with his chest open, tapping the power button and volume up at the same time took me into the recovery menu.
i was unable to apply a zip file update superuser.zip either from the adb sideload, or from the sdcard.
it said installation aborted.
got the same response with an .img file with clockwork mod recovery
also same message when trying to use sideload to load superuser apk file
the fastboot that comes with the xda copy of adb 1.0.32 didnt seem to work at all, so went back to previous version of fastboot, mentioned in an earlier post.

tablet on sale again
this tablet is on sale again at best buy online. $36.99 for 2 colors, a really great buy.
I too own this, have tried towel root and kingroot but (of course) no root. This seems to be a "popular" device and for the price is an excellent choice to tinker with. My main reason for needing this root is so i can use my sd card to provide some extra ram. Eventually I plan to use this tablet as an UI for my home automation setup but i need root first.
If someone can figure out how to root a $800 samsung device, surely this $50 china tablet shouldn't be an issue.
Maybe we should all donate $5.00 to a root developer, so they can buy this device and root it for us and him/her self.
We get root, they get a free device. Its a win win.

I have an LG Enlighten (Verizon Wireless), not an LG Optimus Slider (Virgin Mobile), running Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread). I am in desperate need of a root solution. I have searched the online forums to no avail. I have put the phone up for sale for fear that this device may never be rooted. I am calling on XDA Developers to produce a working root before I ultimately rid myself of this thing. To add, I tried running Android SDK (adb). No go. The instructions threw me even after trying them repeatedly on several different occasions. It could be that my laptop
has no internet access, but I'm not entirely sure.
I really enjoy this phone and have customized it to the point of
exhaustion. All I'm waiting for now is ROOT! Please help ASAP...
Have you attempted to root it? Have you tried Superoneclick, z4root, and/or Gingerbreak?
Re: Have you tried to root it?
Yes, I have. Unfortunately, with no success. Results are as follows:
Z4Root - The end result is my phone takes me back to the previous screen (internet, home, games, music, etc.). It begins the rooting process... acquiring shell root. Then it just sticks for approximately 30 seconds and then closes. I have repeated the process on several occasions in the event that something unusual happened the first time around. But the result is always the same.
Gingerbreak - This app just ultimately hangs, endlessly. Approximately two hours worth before I just quit in frustration. But all online forums claim it should take no more than 15 minutes tops. I should also note that I read Z4Root and Gingerbreak will not work on rooting Android 2.3.4 due to the patching of an exploit. However, I did not update my phone to this firmware. It came preinstalled. And I have not found a procedure for downgrading (sbf'ing) an LG Enlighten.
SuperOneClick - This is the one I'm currently trying still. I can't recall the website, but in addition to SOC, it also requires the use of adb from Android SDK. The problem I'm coming across is the laptop I'm using to perform this action is without internet access (which I've tried feverishly to restore to no avail). And I'm thinking this is what the issue may be, but I'm not entirely sure. The only access I have to the internet currently is on my phone. However, I make a weekly trip to the college library (no restrictions on installing, downloading, etc.). So maybe I can try something there.
For the past month, I've been doing extensive research online trying to find any and all information in regards to resolving this matter. A few sites have blamed Verizon for crippling their Android devices from performing certain functions. For instance, this particular device has no "boot into recovery mode" (which I confirmed with a Verizon tech support person). Had it, I easily could've updated with the .zip file from my SD card (which I've now deleted since it's rendered useless).
I did read today that the next version of SuperOneClick v2.3 (to come out at a later date) will include the option for the forced inclusion of adb debugging/android files which could be the solution to my problems. Possibly.
I apologize if this reply post seems a little long-winded. But I wanted to provide you with all the information I have available in order to better recieve instruction as how to proceed forward. I will continue to try the SuperOneClick in hopes that I will acquire root. But if not, I will rely on the expertise of those in the XDA community.
Thanks,
Centim6

Hi, I too have an LG Enlighten from Verizon wireless. I was just wondering how your root process went? Did the phone work well afterwards? Also do you by any chance have a link to or at least remember the name of the video you watched which helped you to get your phone rooted.

seeing as there is no link, I would say no.
secondly, the video posted and my own research indicates that root was possible only if it was v. 2.3.3. There isn't anything available for 2.3.4.
I have rooted my LG Enlighten which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4. I made a tutorial over at phandroids forums since xda does not let me post links to outside sources. Just google Lg Enlighten root and you will find it in the first or second link. Enjoy.
PS: If you do not believe me I made a video of my phone rooted on youtube. My user name there is the same as xda and I posted pictures at the end of my tutorial. Gingerbread 2.3.4 is fully exploitable on the LG Enlighten.

I think it would a great idea to include which firmware you used this on. I kbow for a fact that it fails on v4 and v5.
And its not that I don't believe you (I do btw) its just the lack of specifics are going to excite someone and they'll leave you a nasty message cause they thought it would work. So, just a heads up:
Android version:
Firmware version:
Sent from my LG-VS700 using xda premium
I can confirm that the new VS700ZV5 update crippled the ability of this phone to root. I just tried the gingebreak and it didnt work. Any way around this?
Same here, android 2.3.4; firmware VS700ZV5.
I haven't been able to get root to work with SoC....
Any chance someone will figure a way around this update?
please reply to root on you tube PLEASE!

I had my phone rooted, then verizon put out an update, and now I can't root it. I think we're screwed until sombody figures out a new method.
Model: LGVS700
Firmware: VS700ZV5
im not sure if this will help but here, i found this claiming to be able to root the phone.
First, you need the file hboot_2.xx_soff-V8.9.zip, download it.
Unzip it into c:evoroot on your pc.
Second, put your LG Enlighten into development mode by
going to Settings->Applications->Development and turn USB
debugging on.
Third, connect your LG Enlighten to your computer and set
your USB to Just charge.
Fourth, if you get errors with drivers, install their HTC drivers.
(You can also install HTC Sync, but it is bulky!)
Fifth, open up a command prompt by typing cmd.
Sixth, type the following commands: (Or copy and paste,
easier!)
Code:
cd evoroot
adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/
adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip
adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip
adb push root/flash_image /data/local/
adb -d install -r root/z4root.apk
Seventh, go to your phone and launch Z4Root app. Then select
temp root and wait until its done.
Eighth,go back to command prompt and type:
Code:
adb shell
su
If you get a pound(#) sign, that means you have temp root,
which just gives you temporary root so we can now install
permanent root.
ninth, go back to command prompt and type the following:
Code:
chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image
./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
sync
And reboot to bootloader mode by typing:
Code:
reboot bootloader
When bootloader mode starts up, it will look for PC36IMG.zip
and after about 3 minutes ask you if you want to install
PC36IMG.zip.
Say Yes by hitting the volume up button, it should now install
the new zip file, should take about 10 minutes. Go grabs some
coffee and come back.
Eleventh, reboot when its done by hitting the volume up
button.
It will reboot into the OS and we dont want that so takes the
battery out and puts it back in it. Then go back to the
bootloader by hitting the power button while holding down
the volume down button.
Choose Bootloader and wait until you get the triangle sign and
type:
Code:
adb push recovery /
adb shell busybox Cinstall /sbin
adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery
&
Go back to your LG Enlighten and you should see green
menus.
Choose install zip from sd card and choose unrevoked-
forever.zip
After that installs, Choose MS-USB
Go to your computer and delete PC36IMG.zip, then rename
PC36IMG-MR.zip to PC36IMG.zip.
Then power off your LG Enlighten, power back on by pressing
Power Button while holding down the Volume Down button,
this should get you back into bootloader mode.
Simply wait and when it asks to install the update, hit the
Volume Up button.
then reboot your LG Enlighten, your device should now be
rooted with Recovery menu then you can flash new ROMs for
LG Enlighten.

Hello, i just recently purchased an Allview P5 smartphone, it's really cost efficient but recently i started getting some problems because the phone is not rooted and i was wondering how to root the android 4.04. i tried the superoneclick 2.3.3 and installed adb and something from java, bu when i rung the program superoneclick the program just freezes and it's not responding. any suggestions or guides that i should follow?

Try root for HaiPai I9220. For me it works.
Having the same problem here, Superoneclick freezes on step 7 iirc.
HaiPai didn't work for me either

There you will find this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?othd1gf76pa97zg
It is 100% functional, but need more knowledge and skill.
Ok, I came a lot further this time, but still stuck.
As soon as I let Cygwin `patch` the recovery.img, it does the patching and stuff, but it doesn´t create a new recovery.img for some reason..
If you check page 13 of that PDF manual: I get all the same messages in Cygwin, except for that "Repacking" bit.
Any Idea why it isn't repacking?
Losing my nerves a bit because of Cygwin, what a horrible program to get to work properly. Installation went on beyond 100%, till about 2000% and then just started to count further in negatives >____<
You must have installed 7-zip archive program.
SuperOneClick should work for this device. You may try this:
1) unmount the sd-card, turn ON usb-debugging
2) turn OFF usb-debugging
3) connect device to PC
4) click "Root"
5) when "Waiting for Device" appear turn ON usb-debugging
6) when "Starting ADB Server..." turn OFF usb-debugging
7) then turn it back ON
8) and back OFF
9) repeat this while "Waiting for Device" appears again.
@Stovka: I have 7zip installed, the unpacking/extracting of the recovery.img goes fine in Cygwin, but for some reason it just skips the repack part.
@AndreyETO: As soon as I disable debugging mode, superoneclick stops the procedure, so I didn't get far with that
So sorry, I don't really know what is the problem...
It was all ok for me - the one problem was that I had not installed 7-zip, but after installing it worked exactly according to instructions.
If it were successful: after recording recovery.img to the phone is first necessary to go into CWM mode (no run phone) and install the root file attached. End CWM recovery mode is classically done by clicking on "reboot system now", but after the first time there appears one more option (just I don't know what name), which must be confirmed! Otherwise, when you restart the phone again, then will be loaded the original file and the recovery process must be repeated - upload modified recovery.img and then root file via CWM.

Same experience on Allview P6 Stony (P6_0201_V1179 software build). This method works for me - similarly I had to run the script (and the reboot cycle) 2x before it had an effect.
As pointers for others, before you try this method you need to make sure you have ADB drivers installed. Trying to install stock google drivers didn't work at all for me, what worked for me was installing latest PdaNet drivers (pdanetZ350.exe) from here: junefabrics.com/android/download.php *
Don't forget to install OTA Rootkeeper app afterwards and run it once - hopefully saves you the hassle of rooting again if the P6 should receive an incremental update.
Enjoy, thanks Flapperbol!

I bought a Coolpad Arise (edit: Model 5560S) today at Kroger for $10 (and got 500 fuel points doing so). This phone blew me away. The proc, and gpu are better than I expected, it runs 4.4.2, and it has an SD card slot. Now to the issue:
I've been trying to get root on the device but haven't had any luck. Towel(with multiple modstrings) and Kingo didn't do anything. I'm ready to take the next step. I'm an Android developer and feel like I should help get root on this phone. I've tried to emulate the asec venerabilities to no avail. Is anyone else interested in rooting the arise? I'm not sure where to go from here but would like to have root since the stock os seams to be 99% aosp.
Pointers would also be greatly appreciated.
I'm no Dev but would love root as well. Bought 2 last night for stocking suffers for my kids. As you said you can't beat this for 10 bucks. And BTW I got 1000 points which surprised me figured I'd only get 500 for the initial, and considering I usually fill up with 20 plus gallons this phone literally was free with the discount I'll get! Thinking of going to get a third now!
Root would be great
There must be a LOT of these out there with the recent sale(s) on this model.
I'm impatiently waiting for this thread to get some action. I've tried everything. Even some Chinese program called permroot.apk that apparently works with coolpads, but I had no idea what I was doing since I can't read Chinese.

Do you have the drivers yet? Couldn't you just unlock the bootloader and load TWRP and an AOKP image that's rooted already?
Just got the arise to play around with. Still can't root device.

CoolPad Arise Needs Root Quick
I have recently recieved the coolpad arise and really want to figure out a way to root it. So thats why i have joined this forum thread. XD
Found this by accident, maybe it'll help get root... if you remove the coolpad battery, and plug in a usb data cable from your computer to the phone, the coolpad screen lights up and says "fastboot mode". I tried some of the usual fastboot commands, ie, oem unlock, but nothing happened, it says "waiting for device".
I bought two more of these the other day (today might be the last day for the sale so stock up).
Also found this thread: [Q] Coolpad 5560s - MegaThread: Info/Rooting??
I bought 4 of them, if I wanted there is 1 more there at the store still, lol

Someone made a root toolkit for the coolpad arise, but it failed.
I tried exploit apps to try to get root privs. They didn't work.
I then used Root Genius on a computer and successfully got root.
Do not take any updates before or after you root, because you might not be able to root.

Run root genius, and plug in the phone. Click the root button. If phone prompts to allow the pc access, allow it. It will root the device. You must have a good oem cable and good usb port when rooting. If root fails try again on a different pc or with a different cable. Also while rooting you need internet.
I would recommend deleting the touchpal keyboard and freezing log2file and system updates.

:laugh: I successfully rooted my coolpad arise after multiple attempts with different software. iRoot, Towelroot, vRoot, OneClickRoot, Chainfire's Root App, and Kingoroot all failed.
Someone made a root toolkit for the coolpad arise, but it failed.
I tried exploit apps to try to get root privs. They didn't work.
I then used Root Genius on a computer and successfully got root.
Do not take any updates before or after you root, because you might not be able to root.

Will this Root Genius work with Scratch Wireless ROM? After I root, can I make a ROM dump and backup the Scratch Wireless ROM?
Oh Crap! Now I'm sort of bricked!
I was starting to get some instability (probably due to many device tweaks and the device being almost full, not from Root Genius) on my phone and I went to flash it back to stock for a re-root. This time I gave the root package another try (it didn't work for me the first time perhaps because of maybe some .net framework issues). This time it worked after powering on I followed the instructions and I went through and checked if every app worked. The browser and camera default apps did not work at all. They would open and force close. So, I decided to retry to root toolkit and my device never got pass the "Powered By Android" screen and it wouldn't boot into stock recovery. So I used the Coolpad Official Flash Tools (YGDP) and flash it back to stock. The device didn't work either. I would get the same screen and I was unable to boot into stock recovery.
Please help as I use this device as my everyday device, app dev device, and at my college classes. It is also my primary source for accessing the internet (I use the hotspot often).
Phew, got it fixed by flashing the original stock rom with the company tools.
Hey guys,
So my LG G3 finally took a dump on me and I decided I'm done spending 600+ dollars USD on cell phones , so I picked up this Alcatel One-Touch Allura for around 120$.
There doesn't seem to really be any information about the device online, or even any reviews. I've been trying to root it on my own but am having no luck.
None of the "one-click-roots" work that I tried (surprise surprise). ADB doesn't run as root. For some reason ADB only works while the phone is on, and not in recovery, for the most part... I've installed the USB drivers that you can find on the phone under the CD USB option, I've tried universal Android USB drivers, I've tried updating my Intel USB drivers, but still nothing. ADB will not work while in recovery. The phone goes --start adb-- and then nothing, it just sits there. I AM able to use ADB when I hit "apply update from ADB" so I can kind of get ADB to work in recovery, just not where it says --start adb--, that still doesn't work even after I come out of the adb update menu. I tried to load a few things through sideloading but they all fail because of failing signature verifications.
Anyway, I can get it into recovery but I can't get into the bootloader, and the "allow oem unlock" option doesn't seem to really do much from what I can tell, since I can't even get into fastboot. This seems like a pretty solid device and I like the specs/aesthetics, but I would really love it rooted. I've never really done much with android before so please excuse any terms I may have used incorrectly.
Of course I will be more than happy to try any suggestions/answer any questions I can about the device. I would post a pic of the recovery screen but I need to boost my post count first..
Turns out kingo root works.

Have you been able to find a working recovery for this phone? I picked up one tonight for $89 after shattering the screen on my Nexus. I'd appreciate your input.
Yes Kingo Root works, and I used supersume to use supersu instead of kingos superuser. Now does anyone know if there is a custom recovery or custom rom for Marshmallow?
Hi,
I'm brand new to this forum and my name is Jessy, and it's my pleasure to be here!
I recently bought this AT&T GoPhone (for around $29) at Walmart, and I was following this guide to allow me to use my SD Card as an internal memory storage unit for my phone, but I found out that I need to unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, SuperSU and Link2SD apps to the SD card and my phone. Since this smart phone is similar to the Idol 3, could I use this method to unlock the Bootloader for my phone or do I have to try a different approach?
I appreciate your time and I look forward to contribute further to these forums! Thanks again!

I picked one up on Black Friday, and decided to root it. I was only able to install an older version of SuperSU though (v2.46). First I had to install the PC version of KingRoot (It's in Chinese I believe, but middle button is always "next" or "yes"), root the phone, and then replace KingRoot with SuperSU. Took me a few tries.
This is the guide I used from the forum:
SuperSU Me_6.4.apk
KingRootSetup v3.2.0.1129.exe
1. install kingrootsetup on pc(must have internet connection to work)
2. connect ur phone with ADB enabled from developers option
3. root ur phone by following on screen instructions...
4. after rooting,install supersume on phone
5.open the app,click on big blue button and wait...
done,replaced kingroot with supersu..

My Alcatel Ideal 4060A froze a few times during the removal of KingRoot, but all I did was: turn off the phone, remove the battery, and finish the procedure once the phone was on. The phone was only $10 on Black Friday, so you could say it was only an experiment on my part. Unless it's a really good phone, where you can go to the manufacture's website and download the original firmware and install it through your PC, there's not much you can do to unbrick a cheap phone that is practically unknown.

Thank you Mario for your help! I'm having a little trouble having my phone being recognized by Kingroot, although I have ADB enabled from the developers option, it seems not to pickup my phone still. I'm still trying though and I'll let you know if I get it to work properly, and perhaps document my mistake so others following this post who happen to have the same problem could know what to do.
- Jessy
*UPDATE*
Just wanted to update that I found out what was my mistake, which is a really simple and basic mistake, I apologize!
What I did was that after I had enabled ADB through my phone, it was already connected to my PC right after I had downloaded Kingroot, so my solution here was simple. I turned off my phone first, then I turned it back on while still connected with Kingroot still running then Kingroot finally read my phone and it rooted it as you outlined. Thanks again for your help, it is too valuable for me!
Here's the guide that I'm following so that I could install more apps to the phone through my 64 GB SD card if you guys were interested, to make the phone more useful, and I also installed my obama phone SIM card on it as well (from lifeline wireless, because hey why not? )
Here's the link to add more internal memory to this phone

No problem. I'm glad you got the phone rooted. I originally picked up the phone to use as an MP3 player, so I removed most of the unnecessary stock apps with "System app remover (ROOT)", but now that I see how good the phone is (at that price), I plan to use it as a backup phone. It even has a notification LED light for unopened messages LOL; anyway, good luck.
My Alcatel bricked too using this method stuck at boot logo and does nothing... Any fix?
Thanks for writing rooting method for Alcatel 4060a Ideal Pop445. Need some help

I've been an iPhone user for many years, I'm almost new to android. I have unlocked the bootloader from the hidden developers options in the settings app. I haven't found any thing useful to root my new Alcatel Ideal 4060a (Pop 445) (at&t unlocked). There are tons of bloatwares and many apps that I can't transfer to sd card. I hope you two can help me out here as I don't want to brick my device.
Question 1: Do jessy did something wrong(regarding your given steps to root) that makes her device rooted OR she has just been lucky? Because someone just posted that he/she has bricked his/her device.
Should I go ahead and try my luck with your method you there would be some advice you would like to give?
Question 2: If I would be able to root this device, would I be able to install Android 6.0 Marshmellow?
Don't root this yet

I have rooted with Kingroot 5; latest windows version on their website. Now I'm working on replacing it with Supersu or Supersu-me.
I think there always be some solution as far as you are seeing something on your phone's screen.
Just a note from another user with an Alcatel Ideal 4060a... (got for $10 from Best Buy on Black Friday)
Don't try using King-O-Root, then proceed to install Super SU from Google Play. It works that first launch, but on rebooting...
It's permanently bricked. And yes, I tried everything, including adb, recovery (doesn't have an option to flash a rom), from-pc flashing (wouldn't connect/wasn't recognized by adb or the other tools), fastboot (wouldn't launch), etc.
I don't know about the alternate Kingroot app, though. That probably works as some people have said it does for this model.
I was stupid and assumed King-O-Root would work as well, since it seems pretty generic and worked for another phone. I've learned my lesson and will now only follow guides for the specific phone model I have.
Why am I even writing this if it's a different rooting app? Cause I spent 6 hours just to end up killing one of my phones, and this is my best attempt at feeling like there was some worth to the waste. (the chance of preventing someone else the misfortunate, and just ranting)
Anyway, I'm going to bed. (So annoying because I only barely was brash enough to go ahead without a phone-specific guide--was on the fence, but landed on the unfortunate side) Argh! Argh! Argh!

Any solution for this? I want to replace King-O-Root with Super SU.
None that I know of.
I have another Android phone that I was also trying to get root on, and that one gets it temporarily using King-O-Root as well, but I'm too paranoid to try to make it permanent on that second one. Losing both my Android phones would be too painful.
If anything, I guess try the KingRoot program, from the pc, and then use the "SuperSU Me" app, as the person on the first page of this thread described. That way worked for at least one person apparently. (though the poster just after said it bricked theirs, so beware)
By the way, is your root from King-O-Root temporary (till restart) or permanent? I installed Super SU during the same launch I used King-O-Root, so I never got to see whether King-O-Root itself would have worked as a permanent (though non-ideal) solution. (I know that on my other Android phone it's temporary)
King-O-Root = Bricked Phone
KingRoot5 = Root Successful + it is possible to replace with SuperSU

Did you manage to unlock the bootloader? If not then you cant flash anything and building twrp would be useless.

I pulled the boot file. Could someone maybe look at that? I cannot boot to the bootloader.
I could try to flash_image twrp to the recovery and try that.
I got this phone on black friday, shortly after I got root with kingroot 5 pc and it was all great, however I got greedy and replaced kingoroot with supersu :silly:. First reboot and it goes into boot loop. Now its been sitting in a drawer. I think that purify deleted some app it looks at boot.
It looks like the simplest way to get a restore is 'IF' TCL/Alcatel does an update, someone intercepts the signed zip file, then that zip file could be distributed and used with the stock restore.
Hopeful everyone here can work a better solution... thanks for all your hard work everyone.
yes u r right
many time happen with me, Happen with me on asus KA10, But i got fastboot update img lucky. hope that u will get Fast boot image some day or we may able to get recovery for this device . in that case your your phone may start working
