1. Nice tutorial. Is there any custom firmware already available for the Glory?

   1. i’m not sure mate, but i think in other forums (maybe they have), so keep in mind the requirements and also speficications on custom roms and also the risk factor of doing it. 😀

2. is this really safe?

   1. yep 😀 i already done this on my friends alcatel phones.

      1. anu puede gawin kun sastranded sa step 7? tnx for the help

         1. if still problem persist, try the third method.

         2. if problem still persist, try the third method.

      2. Sir, ano po ba makukuha natin out from rooting? Sounds new kasi sa akin yan ehh and i’m kinda naive when it comes to techy stuff. hehe. I appreciate if you could respond to my inquiry. Have a good day!

         1. there many things you can do with root permissons. try titanium backup, gamecih, there apps/tools require such root.

3. thanks for the clear tutorial bro. got mine Alcatel One Touch Glory OT-918N rooted using the 1st step on 1st try.

   do you have some tips on upgrading this to android ICS?.

   2. how did you do it sir? I have the same model like your phone but Im always stuck at number 7!

      1. try the other method, there are cases it didn’t workout on that method.

   2. i got the same phone i tried rooted and i got it right for the 1st time by following bluerains steps but after that i got problems with my phone. i lost my play store and my phone start acting strange. It reboot repeatedly and it stuck in android logo.i think i wipe all custom recovery. I brought my phone back to sun and they endorse my phone into a service center. The service tried to save and recover my custom recovery but they were not able to recover. The technician whos incharge said that their going to return it in the main office of alcatel in manila. Right now i’m still waiting for the result of my phone coz the main office is going to diagnose it. Hope it wont gonna void my warranty. A piece of advice for those who want to root their phone it is good to root your phone but as what the author said in this blog take it as in your own risk. You may brick your phone just like mine. Make up your mind read the instructions carefully.

    Thanks in advance!

    1. 1 – 3 methods are root for the phone. you can used the superoneclick and unlock root to unroot the phone.

17. i’m having problems doing the hard root I’ve already download all the necessary drivers and extracted them in one folder . My phone is fully charged and I turned it off , but when I connect it to my laptop no icons or pop-ups appear for me to manually update the driver . How can this be fixed ? Is it okay to proceed with the steps and just ignore my phone being unnoticed by my laptop or are there any other ways ? Furthermore , when I tried launching the flash_tool.exe I’m getting an error that EBOOT.DLL IS NOT INSTALLED IN MY COMPUTER ? tried to reinstall the program and open it again but still the problem persists.. What shall I do ? I’ve already tried the first and second method of rooting to no avail .. Thanks

    1. try the third method. if you already tried it send us some sample screenshots of how you handle each steps for further help your concern.

       1. hi! i have the same problem.. when i plug in my phone, nothing pops up to enable me update the driver manually.. what to do? i’ve already tried superoneclick and unlockroot, and both failed.. the “hard way” is my last option but im stuck on the first procedure.. 🙁
          help! 🙁

18. stuck at step no. 7 🙁

    1. try the hard way 😀

19. Hi.. I tried following the First and Second Steps..
    First Step: SuperOneClick stops at ‘Shell rooting device… Step#7’, and says that it is not responding.
    Second Step: Unlock Root shows “failed to get shell root”

    Is there any way that I could follow the first and second step WITHOUT following the Hard Way (Third Step)?

    Thanks in Advance.

    1. try the hard way, thats the possible answer we can offer you. we also experience the same thing and the only thing we can do is try the hard way.

20. Sir why do we need to root thw phone? Whats thw use of it?

23. rooted my alcatel 918n.. thanks for this post.. help me a lot.. 🙂

    1. your welcome

24. is rooting the solution to my problem?kasi i want to uninstall some unnecessary phone apps kasi bumabagal phone ko dahil almost 10mb nlng ntitira kong memory s phone bcoz some apps can’t be installed on my microsd memcard. pls help me. thanks

    1. there are apps would still retain on the system/internal memory of the phone even you transfer it on the sd memory. the only thing you can do is to minimize the usage of memory apps. that is the downside of the alcatel glory 918n.

25. what po password to unlock the sysem.img?!! tenks

    1. system.img? i dont know about the password. did you go to the forums and ask about it…

    2. it was written there : breakk.movilesdualsim.com

26. is there any differences for alcatel blaze duo ot-918n and alcatel glory 918n because i have a alcatel that is blaze duo but the package box is glory

    1. by the way my phone is similar to blaze duo but the system is similar to glory

    2. blaze duo ot-918n is same as glory 918n. i think glory 918n is a asian version.

27. Hi, what should i do if super one click is NOT RESPONDING? Thanks

    1. try the other method.

28. Hello,
    Thanks for the tutorial, my phone is idea 3g smartfone, model is alcatel one touch 918N, tried all the 3 methods and here are the results :
    superoneclick doesn’t respond at step 7 if I wait for some time it says END2736 blah blah
    unlock root says that it failed to get shell root
    I even tried hard way, at last when it gives me 15 sec to attach phone to pc via usb cable, it starts and says phone not found.
    Please tell me what should I do, I want to root my phone asap!

    1. Also my phone version is 2.3.6

29. Does the phone need to be turned on or need the phone to be on the recovery mode ‘Hold power and volume up before proceeding?

    1. I dunno, tried it while it was on, I also tried some rooting apps like zroot, universal androot. Are there any other rooting apps

30. I followed all steps to a T. none of them worked. Another friend who has the same phone said when he got his alcatel the 1st time Sun released it, he rooted it no problems, he had to return it i think last month or 2 since it got broken but after he got it back, he couldn’t root it like before.

    I just got this phone this month and was wondering if Sun did any updates to prevent it from being rooted.

31. is this for alcatel onetouch 918n glory x or for alcatel onetouch 918n glory?

    1. ot- glory 918n

32. may rooting process na bah sa alcatel glory x 918n? tnx

    1. we don’t any advise yet on that particular model.

33. if i failed on both first 2 steps then decided not to root it anyways (tired of reading opt.3) does it damages my phone?

    1. it is safe to proceed method 3, just follow the method 3 carefully.

34. man how long did you wait for that step 7 to respond? how will i now if its stocked i there or its just reading and i should wait a bit more….

    1. probably some drivers may conflict or applications. you can proceed to method 3 if still persist.

       1. i tried opt 3 but in intalling the devices software it says unplugged device.. then the installation fails. what should i do?

35. do i need to turn off my cp??

    1. no need to turn off.

36. Hi. Whenever I install PdaNet, I get an Error 5. I don’t know what’s wrong.

    1. Actually it says, “ShellExecuteEx failed; code 5. Access is denied.” I wonder what’s wrong. Can anyone help?

37. still having problems.. got stuck on step 7…

    what should i do?

    i also try it to another computer 64bit/win7 and 32bit/xp

    but the result was the same.

38. mine got stuck on step 5..grrhh! help pls!

39. master pwede ba iroot kahit locked from Sun Cellular?

    1. possible…
