i am aware of allow oem unlock, this does not however help me in the process of unlocking and installing custom recovery.
TWRP doesn't appear to be available for the 4060A Ideal yet, if anyone notices they made one in the future please post in this thread.
Did you try the very latest version of KingRoot from Nov 23, 2016: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21707
Please post if you did and if it worked.
EDIT: Yes. KingRoot5 does work but DO NOT USE King-O-Root. King-O-Root will permanently BRICK this phone. But KingRoot5 works.
EDIT2: See this post
I rooted this phone yesterday with the latest KingRoot. I I installed my backup from an LG K7 which I had fully rooted by using an older version of Super su me. Unfortunately I lost that phone. I found this phone on closeout at Kmart and Im trying to get something going on it. It's strange that busybox will install with the new version of KingRoot still installed. Everytime I run super su me (I have tried several different versions) it either crashes or just doesn't do anything. I'm working on it now. Any of you funny guys been able to remove KingRoot and keep root.
Screenshot from this phone. I once rooted an elevate and it came back as a pixi.
The reason why your post is important is people don't want to run KingRoot and find out the hard way it doesn't work, so thanks for posting that.
Yes, removing KingRoot and keeping root would be the golden grail, I'll post here as soon as I come across anyone who's done that. I can't find anyone yet with TWRP or FlashFire-equivalent, let alone root with KingRoot removed...
I read on another thread for this device that they successfully did it with the PC version of KingRoot. I'm leary about putting it on my laptop. I'm hard on phone's and have been messing with them for about a year now so far I haven't bricked a device. I've unlocked a couple of bootloader's. Seems I have the best luck with metro/lg. But I like a challenge and couldn't pass up this phone for the price. First time I got an at&t phone to achieve any kind of root.
I rooted this phone using kingroot then used this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989 to switch out kingroot for SuperSU. But you should read the comments in the thread as well for helpful hints, I used link2sd to fully remove kingroot after the script finished.
Bottom line is root and supersu can be achieved fairly easily.
I will give it a try. Ty

Thank you.

Did it work for you? I don't see Alcatel mentioned in that thread. I'm curious.
He says it worked for him using link2sd. The original method without link2sd used in the linked thread does not work on Alcatel Ideal 4060a, I tried it.
But his method of using link2sd may work - he says it does.
But how do you exactly do that method? What lines of code do you use, what exactly is the process with link2sd?
That's what we are after, how do you use link2sd with Alcatel Ideal 4060a. I hope he comes back and posts. Otherwise one of us will hopefully figure it out eventually on here...

In the post I linked theres a person who (on the first page) added a code to the script for link2sd.
However, im a bit to lazy to do the research into editing the script, so I think I just ran the script then used link2sd to remove kingroot, then reboot.
Though I had to do this while enduring a constant popup requiring me to press ok over and over.
To be honest though Im a bit fuzzy on the full process because I to had trouble getting the script to work. I might have run the script then rebooted then tried removing kingroot.
I will do this then post full instructions.
I actually know exactly what you are talking about.
But what exactly did you do inside link2sd, can you just post that?

Low-end phones don't have their own sections in xda. I doubt there is one for this phone.

Right, I have attempted to use Kingo root and I was able to remove att crap but I can't grant any other su permissions as I don't get that pop-up box with allow root permissions. I'm not sure how Kingo works but I'm pretty sure there should be some way to grant permissions.

Are you mad? This thread is as old as your account is, about 2 years. After such a long time it is unlikely that this request is still up to date. No one uses the Archos Tablets anymore, including me. So better watch out what you write before pressing the submit reply button.
Dont tell me after nearly 10 years of being here how I have to post something

I don't get the point of your rude answer, you asked 6 days ago if someone is still interested in knowing a root method for this specific device, but if the op hadn't had an answer for his request in a long time, maybe he (or someone who reads like me) could be interested in knowing it anyway!
And just so you know, I bought this device right today, who cares if you are not using it anymore? If you still know a root method of it, "Please" post it, I didn't imagine how rude can be the people everyday.. keep calm
Well ok maybe I was too rude. Had a bad day at the office. Took your answer too offensive. Sorry man.
I 'just' didnt post a 'how to root' as I needed to look into my archives first on how I did it back years ago, took me some time.
I created and uploaded a package for you (and anyone else interested) to dropbox with all files needed.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tc8vcutkk4i95ho/Root.zip?dl=0
There are special adb drivers for the tablet, I think they were needed. As I said it has been some time I did it myself but they were necessary I think.
Well and afterwards just run the .exe file. Should root it then. (Kingo Root?)
Anleitung.txt was my translation from the original french tutorial.
Good luck

Thank you for your time, as soon as I get my hands on it (I bought it online, it will take some time once I receive it) I will try it and update the thread with the results.
Maybe, since some years are passed, KingoRoot could make root easier to do; I will try it first and in negative case I will try to follow your suggestions.
I'll keep you posted =)

So, here I am again..
I used latest kingo root apk to root my gamepad 2 and if I try to replace kingoroot with supersu (using the sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh command in terminal emulator) it deleted the kingoroot app and set the superSu app as system app but then when I try to open up SuperSu, it tells me that the su binary are not installed and that it's a problem..
I even tried to root with kingoroot app and installing the superSu app, while opening, it asks me to update Su binary but if I try to do so then the "operation failed" is shown as consequence...
I really need to get rid of Kingoroot and install the SuperSu and su binaries because if not, the foldermount app will keep telling me there is some write error by using it..
I tried searching on the web to find if there is some CWM or TWRP recovery available and I found only the RK30GENERIC_CWM.zip file (here).
Anyone has tested it yet? If I successfully flash the CWM I would be able to flash the superuser through recovery and so to update the su binaries..
The question is: is there any other methods to try before trying to flash a recovery that God only knows if it work or if it bricks my tablet?
I was wondering if I can manually insert those binaries into something /system folder...
Please, any help would be very appreciated!

fixed by using kingo root PC version; this version is different from the one for android because it installs the SuperSU instead of the kingoroot app.. =)
Any news related Custom roms and Kitkat 4.4.4?
Congrats on rooting. I have no info or news about a 4.4.4 ROM or anything newer. This device is 'dead' for devs And I guess Ill sell mine soon. Still, have fun with it
I have a question why did this device never got any support from devs? it is a pretty cool device, great for emulators, you can even install the ouya store on it.
Anyway I am hiring a dev for a specific mod for this device, I can pay using paypal please pm if you are interested.
Hi Guys
I'm trying to root this phone so after a bit of looking around I have vroot and all the drivers for the phone.
I have the English version of the software but half way through the root, it ask for something to be done in Chinese which I'm not sure what it needs.
On screen I get the options to hit next and on the phone its enable restore or not.
Anyone have any clues as to what needs to be done to stop the root failing ?
Thanks
Richie

I Did, just install Vroot or RootGenius they should do the trick.
i went for RootGenius
i suggest u to install CWM recovery after rooting and keeping a copy of the original rom
Sorry i cannot post link since i registered only to answer
Thanks, Trabacchin.luigi - most helpful Just got my S208 today and XDA first place to come for helpful info
RootGenius did not work, but then again, I am running it in Paralells desktop on MAC which may be the issue. Awaiting for a Windows machine to be free to try it on that.
Thanks again,
Jeff
---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
Update - Vroot worked first time.
Couple of pointers for others:
RootGenius loads LOTS of junk stuff to your PC unless you custom install and be VERY CAREFUL to deny loading of "apps". Lots of double-negative options, looks like you are saying "no" but you are really saying "yes". Be careful.
Vroot worked straight away - BUT loads some Chinese options on your phone and all of a sudden your call logs, contacts, SMS etc are being accessed. All text in Chinese characters so do not know what exactly the apps are. Deleted.
Jeff
Well, I had LOTS of problems subsequently with Vroot (now iRoot). In the end, I unrooted and used KINGO ROOT and it worked first time, with no extra odd apps loaded, doing who-knows-what (iRoot add-ons!).
Anyway, have now rooted the S208 and I hope to be able to update the firmware, resizing the partitions at the same time.
Look here http://www.android-hilfe.de/8390125-post4.html
Install mentioned recovery using flash tool, boot into recovery, leave recovery and answer question to install SU by swiping slider. After reboot into ROM, let SU do update (it will ask you) and voilá phone is rooted

None of those methods say they are compatible with this phone... please help. Been reading for days... last thing I want to do is brick my phone.... I was directed here by XDA assist
I concur, I can not afford to brick this beautiful phone. I saw a twitter post claiming that some guys root app can do it for our phones if they're 5.0.2 Android like oohokay they come with 5.1 mister click bait scammer... Tho getting into recovery and activating developers settings is easy enough on the warp elite.

Run kingoroot, then uninstall the kingoroot superuser apk then you will have temp root until you reboot. I have made a little progress over at the Android forums. I have got boot and recovery images using Flashify.apk and got the /system though I think it is not a flashable image. I can't get nandroid online backups to work though. I'm still a boob at this.
I would be willing to put $10 towards paying the developer who can come up with a root for the warp elite 9518.
I know its pocket change but I'm hoping I can start a list of people who are willing to pledge some money, 5$-10$, I would keep a forum post with the user names of the people willing to donate, and the total amount available for payment upon a successful root. Offline I will keep that same list but include their first name and amount they would be able to pitch in. All money will stay in the donators possesion, until an agreement is made regarding dev payment
Hopefully a capable dev sees this as something they could do if they were compensated for their time. I just need to run this by the admin here to see if this is something I can do that wouldn't violate any rules.

I have successfully rooted the N9518. i used the kingo root for windows. I did a hard reset of the phone and after the reset went into settings where it said pc connections i the enabled the debugging and had the connection setting on the one that said install drivers. It says that setting is used when first connected to a computer or when the drivers were unavailable. I ran the kingo root, connected the device, waited for it to show the model then clicked the root. Somewhere between five to ten minutes later it said root succeeded. I verified the root using two different root checkers and i have pictures of the verified root. I will do another post with the pictures as soon as i figure out how to post them on here.

Hello I need to correct the post I made. The root access that I had for the N9518 was just a temporary root access. still figuring out how to make it permanent.
I just ordered the phone it will be here Saturday, if I can get temp root I think I have a pretty good idea how to make it permanent, I was the first and only one to find permanent root on the LG Stylo 2 and my method is pretty universal.

Im not a dev either just a dude who loves messing with android. As soon as I get it Saturday I'll start messing with it and if my technique works I'll post a guide. Also all I can say is never update until you get root most of the time security patches are patches for root vulnerabilities and we want those root vulnerabilities, so if you havent updated good, if you have well try not to update any more if it pops up.
the method does not work

So the method that you recommended did not work for me the only way I had gotten the temp root was the kingo root over usb connection it gave me a temporary root then I tried to follow the guide that you sent me the link to when I did that and rebooted the system the root was removed. So I went and removed the kingo root and went and installed the king root tried to root it that way it failed twice and then on the third attempt to root it soft bricked my phone and I had to factory reset my phone. So no root yet, maybe you will have better luck. I shall continue to look for a way to make the root permanent, and will post anything I find. There has to be a way, there just has to. Good luck

I know what might of went wrong I just did my technique on my 3rd completely different device today, ran to a little problem and fixed it I'm going to wait until I get my phone Saturday so I can physically do it then I'll re write a tutorial on how I did it if I succeed I'm very confident it will work
i just got the phone, been messing around with it didnt realize it was so locked down I only have been able to get temp root once then lost it from a mandatory reboot, gonna keep at it hopefully soon anyone will find root.
Tried KingRoot, made it to 27% on 2nd try but had to factory reset twice.

hey guys this is my first post so if a break any rules please let me know, decided to try rooting my phone but it seems either they patched it or im doing something wrong. i have tried everything from rooting conected to the computer (one click roots, root genie and one that made me think i was doing it well until it told me i had to pay) to computerless root apps Kingroot framaroot etc king root just stops and says root failed and frama says phone is not vulnerable. i really wish to learn how towork my phone and do cools stuff so if anyone would like to take me under their wing i will be forever grateful.
Most of those one click roots don't work on this device. Kingroot is the only one that has any reports of working on the M8, and reports are mixed.
In short, the way to root this phone is unlock the bootloader by HTCDev.com, install custom recovery TWRP, then flash SuperSU to obtain root.
Good detailed guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799796
Although its pretty outdated, so some updates and comments:
- If you have HTC Sync installed on your computer (and you probably do since you connected your phone to your computer), you already have HTC drivers installed, so no need to do that.
- Use a newer version TWRP (recommend 3.0.0.0): https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

Just finished fighting same battle. Mine was a little more difficult as my phone screen was blacked out and I was working blind. However, I finally made it work using adb and fastboot from command prompt. If you follow the directions exactly, it works and is not all that hard. Hang in there. If you have specific questions, let me know and I will be happy to see if I can help.
Is SRSRoot feasible?
I saw it's twitter feed say that my phone model was rooted. I tested it and it said it worked but it just rebooted. If it did work I suspect it's work was rewritten upon reboot.

did you try with KingoRoot? or IRoot?
latest update for it was on 2015, it might be Old.
VWell, KingoRoot fails and then crashes. IRoot loaded my phone with Chinese apps and then failed. KingRoot says the device isn't supported. I'm kind of at a loss of what to try next, if there is anything.
Also, yeah, thanks for pointing out it was old. I actually didn't realize that.
My device is a TracFone ZTE Majesty Pro LTE [Z799VL][Android 6.0.1]

OK, now we're talking, you can't root android 6.0+ with any one click root app, as far as i know, the device is new, you will have to wait till a custom Recovery is built for the phone, or you can build it your self, there are tutorials to build TWRP for general and also for MTK phones (In case your phone have one).

Alright, I'll look into it and see if I can accomplish anything. Thank you!

King root will root MANY phones with 6.0+and it's one click, but the older one clicks will not root 6.0+ however kingroot will NOT root this phone. This phone has a boot loader. And before anyone says anything, TRUE some phones, DONT have to have unlocked boot loaders to be rooted, but some do. As far as a custom recovery, exactly how you'd flash it to the device without root access I'm not sure. I even tried the old old zte merrit process for ginger bread, but you need to be really familiar with adb etc to use it. It's possible, just have to wait for some one that is a little better than me.. lol I noticed something in the build.prop that may be it, not sure. But it's no way to change that for sure without root. So not worth mentioning.
