Alcatel Idol 4 is a price worthy android smartphone which comes with 5.2 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display powered by 1.7 GHz Octa-core processor along with 3 GB RAM and the device runs on Android V 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) operating system. If you own this smartphone and looking for a way to root it, then you are in the right place. I have given a tutorial to root Alcatel Idol 4 smartphone here.
You can be able to root Alcatel Idol 4 smartphone by following the rooting tutorial given here and get the ability to install custom ROM firmware’s, custom recoveries, remove pre-installed system applications and do a lot more things.
WARNING: Rooting your Alcatel Idol 4 smartphone will void 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, take a complete backup of your personal data on your smartphone. This step is for safety purpose.
Step 2: Then, 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 3: 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 your device Settings, then enable it by following this path: Settings -> About Phone (tap on the Build Number for 5-7 times to enable it).
Step 4: Now, download Alcatel Idol 4 USB driver and install it on your computer. By doing this, you will be able to connect your smartphone to the computer.
After finishing all these prerequisites, you can move forward to the rooting tutorial given below.
Tutorial To Root Alcatel Idol 4 Android Smartphone:
Step 1: To get started, download kingoroot for windows and install it on 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 the USB driver, you will get the following message: Alcatel Idol 4 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”.
