Cross-post ko lang po doon sa mga interested saka sa mga ayaw gumamit ng Kingroot. ;)

Been scratching my head on this one for a day or two, as while Kinguser/Kingroot works on my phone, it just doesn't cut it in my case and I wouldn't want to put my trust on something that's of dubious repute. Not that I am laying smack on the Kinguser team though, it's that I'm more confident with something the Android community is vouching on for years.

Things needed:

So what I did was this: Fire up MTK Droid Tools, and click on the Root/Backup/Recovery tab. Click on the Recovery and Boot button, and it'll ask you for a boot image from the stock ROM. Click Yes on the message box that shows up, and if done correctly you'll end up with a fresh recovery image on the recovery folder. Open SP Flash Tool, load up the scatter file from the ROM you just downloaded (or backed up), then load the recovery image you made earlier. You can either flash the whole ROM along with the CWM you did, or just the latter:

Once all that's done, boot to recovery by holding Volume+ and Power. Select the SuperSU package from your SD card, then let it do its thing. If done correctly, SuperSU should work properly on your device. Make sure to untick Mount namespace separation on the SuperSU settings menu for Titanium Backup to work correctly (c.f. djranoia).

You can try this image I made just in case; I can't guarantee that it works on any Alcatel OT-5038A out there though.

I don't take credit for all of this, but I'd just like to share this tip in case you feel like doing things the hard way.
