Hey guys, I'm new to actually rooting, but have read through a lot of the help and information sections about it. My device is the Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro (TCL 5042D). I've used many one click root apps, including KingRoot, and they all have failed. Kingroot has worked for some people with the same phone as me, but it does not for me. I am wondering if its because I'm on android version 4.4.4.
How would I be able to root this phone? Do I have to downgrade and then try KingRoot.. if so how do I downgrade?
I don't want to brick my phone so if anyone can help me with this, I would greatly greatly appreciate it.
(FYI this has NOT worked

I am very hesitant to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/tutorial-root-alcatel-one-touch-pop-s3-t3060092
as it could brick my phone, it is not the same exact model as my phone.
Any help greatly appreciated and thanked
Bump
Any help appreciated

Hello all! I'm brand new to XDA and have been here all day trying to learn to root my Motorola Atrix running 2.3.6. Unfortunately, there's not much help for those of us trying to root from a mac. I'm a total n00b at rooting entirely, so I really need a basic, detailed guide on what I need to do. I managed to find the one thread on here about rooting for mac, but even those steps weren't clear enough apparently because I couldn't get it to work. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
I am currently trying to root my phone and I am looking for older versions of kingo. I can't find it on their website or anywhere. Help would be much appreciated!
Hey guys, I posted a little while back about rooting my new ZTE Allstar and was pointed in the direction of several general one-click rooting apps (Framaroot, CF-auto-root, Kingroot, Kingoroot, and towelroot). I was pretty let down to find that literally none of them worked. The phone is relatively new, it came out in August I believe and I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas as to how I could root this monster. All I ned the root for is zANTI2 im not looking for any custom recoveries or Rom's just yet (because I know there's no way there is any).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Join us over here for now. Spread the word if you can. SRS is the first step. Only temp root though so far. Prolonged by soft rebooting instead of rebooting.

Have you tried kingoroot?
http://d.kingoapp.com/website/KingoRoot.apk
Download this apk.. Check unknown sources in settings and install..
with single tap you can root.. I hope it supports your device :fingers-crossed:
i installed and ran kingo and the process seemed to have worked successfully. i appreciate the help!

Yeah I'm trying to root this phone too...It's the sane make and model#, but I don't know if it's on virgin mobile's network or not because it's one of those q link lifeline phones that I got in the mail....I guess all I have to do is make sure I make a call at least once a month and I'll have free texting and 250 minutes a month...forever...anyways I don't know off maybe they did something to the phone to make it unrootable...I've searched a bit and found a thread on here saying that king root will do it but I've bricked 2 Alcatel phones with that app already, and I'm afraid to try it on this one. Also, king user doesn't work with titanium backup, and that is a must have app for me....
