Also, don't be a moron. I have only tested this on the Alcatel. This can brick your phone! Backup your data if this is a phone you have been using for a bit. Antutu should not be on the SD card. It takes a bit to initialize.

 

1] In​stall Kingroot 4.0 and AnTuTu Benchmark on your phone and put them both on the desktop. Make sure you install the android download and allow unknown developers. Also turn off lockscreen in the security settings.

2] Run Antutu and when it hits 10% click the home button and open and run Kingroot and execute while Antutu continues to run in the background. Don't touch the screen when Kingroot is doing it's thing.

 

3] After Kingroot hits about 20% give or take the phone will restart

 

4] Soon as phone boots back into desktop it will be laggy, quickly open Antutu and run it and immediately hit home button

 

5] While Antutu is running in background go into phones settings>apps>find Kingroot and "clear data" and hit home button

 

6] Open kingroot and execute (antutu should still be running in the background)

 

7] It could work right away, or take a few tries. If not, repeat steps 3-6 again. For me, it took me 3 tries. But, it took one try for my sister. Xposed framework works well on this. (Some modules can softbrick your phone. You may be able to fix this by going into the boot loader and resetting there. Happy rooting

That is such an odd way to root a phone haha. I wonder how it works.

I legitimately have know idea how this works. Someone must have had too much time on their hands. But, it works!

I think this is one of those "who got the idea to eat cheese" things.
