Alcatel Hero is a price worthy android smartphone, which comes with a 6.0-inch capacitive touchscreen display powered by 1.5 GHz Quad-core processor along with 2 GB RAM and the device runs on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system. If you own this smartphone and looking for a way to root it, then you are on the right page. I have given a tutorial to root Alcatel Hero smartphone here.
You can be able to root Alcatel Hero smartphone by using the rooting tutorial given here. Once you gain root privileges in your device, you will get the ability to flash custom recoveries, remove pre-installed system applications, install custom ROM firmware’s and do a lot more things.
WARNING: Rooting your Alcatel Hero smartphone will null your device warranty, and you won’t be able to claim it until you unroot your device. So, think well about it before getting started with the rooting procedure.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: First, make sure that your device has at least 50% to 60% of battery backup, as the rooting process is always a time-consuming one and if your device gets switched off in the middle of the rooting process due to lack of battery backup, it will get bricked.
Step 2: Next, take a complete backup of your personal data on your smartphone. This step is for safety purposes.
Step 3: Now download Alcatel Hero USB driver and install it in your computer. By doing this, you will be able to connect your smartphone to the computer.
Step 4: Next, enable the USB Debugging Mode in your smartphone by following this path: Settings ->Developer Options -> USB Debugging. If you can’t see the developer options in Settings, enable it by following this path: Settings -> About Phone (tap on the Build Number for 5-7 times to enable it).
After finishing all these prerequisites, you can move forward to the rooting tutorial given below.
Tutorial To Root Alcatel Hero Android Smartphone:
Step 1: To get started, download kingoroot for windows and install it in your computer. Once the installation is completed, launch its window.
Step 2: Next, connect your smartphone to the computer using the original USB data cable. If you haven’t installed the USB driver for your device in the computer properly, Kingo Root will automatically download the required USB drivers and install them.
Step 3: After the installation of USB driver, you will get the following message: Alcatel Hero Normal Mode. Root Status: No. Now, click on the “Root” button to begin the rooting process.
Step 4: It will take one or two minutes for Kingo Root to finish the rooting process and once it is finished, you will get the message “Root Succeeded.”
That’s it. Now you have successfully finished rooting Alcatel Hero smartphone. For confirmation, install Root Checker for Android in your device and confirm your device’s root privileges.

Hi, I will share the rooting tutorial shortly.
Bruno Louis says
Thanks Sathishkumar. I will stop trying now and wait for your tutorial. My phone is alcatel pixi 4 plus power 5022F. Your site is great and honest not as other site which talks about rooting phone but they have even not tested really if the methods works or not. They only use one rooting tutorial but only change the device name. Thanks for helping me

Sorry its 5023F
