By following the instructions given here, you will be able to root Alcatel A3 successfully. Once you have gained root privileges in your device, you will be able to install custom recovery images, flash custom ROM firmware files, etc.
WARNING: Rooting your Alcatel A3 device will void its warranty, and you won’t be able to claim it unless you unroot your device. So think well about it before rooting your device.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: Before getting started with the procedure, make sure that you take a complete backup of personal data on your device using appropriate apps. If something goes wrong during the rooting process, you can use this backup to restore your personal information.
Step 2: Ensure that your device has at least 50-60% battery backup in it before getting started with the rooting process.

Hi there,
I’ve tried at least 10 different rooting methods, this one included, but nothing seems to work for this phone. Did you notice a significant slowdown on your computer after downloading srs? I’m going to try again using the saferoot option soon but I’m not hopeful.
