Rooting IDEA ID-918 Dual Sim 3g mobile(Similar to Alcatel 918N)

[Kiranlondhe]

Guys I have Successfully Rooted this phone

So I am posting a tutorial for you all. Because you will need a lot of researching for rooting this phone as there is no tutorial available with the name of this device. You'll say that there are many tutorials available to Root Alcatel 918 N but According to me they will not work on this phone.

I first tried using SuperOneClick but no help. Then Unlock Root and DoomLordz Root and even no help from it.

So here is the tutorial:

Required Things and Apps being talked in the tutorial are in the attatched package.

01) Copy the file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the root of your SD card.

02) Make sure your battery is fully charged and turn off your phone.

03) Head to the directory SP_Flash_Tool_v2.1134.00 and start FlashTool.exe.

04) Make sure the menu Options->USB Mode is checked.

05) Select Scatter-loading and select Android_2.3.6_MT6573_Android_scatter_918.txt.

Warnings/Errors like this can be safely ignored:

[Warning Hint] Get BMT block count fail, default BMT block count is used!

[Hint] Bootloader files are lost when automatically loading by scatter file.

Please make sure you want to go through anyway.

DSP_BL is unchecked, which may result in a boot failure

06) Check the entry with name "RECOVERY" and double click it.

07) Select the recovery.img file and again make sure ONLY one entry is checked.

08) Click the Download button and plugin your phone with the USB cable.

* Wait some time (untill the recovery file is loaded to your phone) *

09) Unplug your phone and press the volume and power button at once

10) Select "Flash Zip from SDCard" and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

11) Confirm the update and reboot your phone. Everything should be done.

Hi, Before i root my Idea 918, i would like to know if you are able to delete the bloatware, and also let me know what was the free internal memory you got after removing the bloatware.
