Hi everyone I'm a noob with the whole rooting of phones. I've got a couple of root Questions. I have an Alcatel One Touch Fierce through T-Mobile. Here are my phone specs. Just in-case they're needed.

Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Been)-pretty sure it's Jelly Been
Firmware Ver. 4.2.2
Kernel Ver. 3.4.5
Build Number L2RUMR0 (Hope This info helps)

First thing my main reason for root is to get rid of blot ware, Wi-Fi Tethering is something I
 
First of all, use the newest version; second: use Boromir; third: this will not affect your ability to use anything, except OTA updates will not be available after rooting (which you wanna avoid anyway due to some people having issues); fourth, I an say Google play books, newstand, music, polaris office, some live wallpapers (not Android Live wallpapers or live wallpaper picker, you'll need those) you can even freeze the launcher with Titanium Backup after installing some other alternate launcher you'd like to use, you can also freeze the mobile hotspot tool thing, cause you won't use it, you can also freeze radio, setup, the system manager application/notification/toggle apps, and the world clock since it's a widget. Oh yeah, you can also remove anything inside (you need ES file explorer or any other file explorer) /custpack/app/removeable[with or w/olibs] without issues happening.

P.S.: I will not be responsible if you do something wrong and the whole world collapses and turns into a black hole while absorbing everything in it's way... Though nothing bad is supposed to happen, since I did all this.

P.P.S.: Oh and fifth, once you root, you can try to take it off, but it is pointless, since you'll want to keep it there :) App updates will not affect anything, since they don't touch root, but system updates do, so avoid to update at all costs (which you can't do since you have an error as I do, so cheers)
 
Thank you so much this should really help.. Like I said I'm a noob at all this so a gain thank.

Ps. I would blame no one but my self if my phone fell to the path of the Dark Side. You've both been very helpful.
 
To be honest some of these things you listed to uninstall/freeze I'm not quite sure what they are, and how to do it.like I said I'm new and slow. I copied some of the things you listed in your post to this one. (you can even freeze the launcher with Titanium Backup after installing some other alternate launcher you'd like to use, you can also freeze the mobile hotspot tool thing, cause you won't use it, you can also freeze setup, the system manager application/notification/toggle apps, and the world clock since it's a widget. Oh yeah, you can also remove anything inside (you need ES file explorer or any other file explorer) /custpack/app/removeable[with or w/olibs] without issues happening.) Do you need an app to freeze? Also I have developer privileges is that going to be a problem? Sorry to be so much trouble. Thank you for your help.
 
Developer options are not a problem at all! It's okay to have them visible. And you're not a problem sir, it's okay to be new and ask questions! :D You can use Titanium backup with a mod from lucky patcher, and it's pretty easy (sorry for making things complicated anyway)
 
Thanks you're not complicated I'm just unsure of these things been keeping up with computers and stuff scince vista. I'm thinking of taking the plunge and rooting my phone just afraid of.bricking it w framaroot and any other trouble I get into :-) Is there some guide too help make me better.

I'm not sure but I think there is a policy against helping people steal software and get things illegally.. Not trying to be dick, just trying to keep you from getting banned.
 
Thanks for your help with my questions. Didn't realize that I was asking questions pertaining to piracy, that was not my intention. I'm afraid of bricking my phone, and was just trying to get as much info about root and what I could do with it and how. Thanks again you've all been helpful and very kind to answer my questions.

Thanks fives
 
Fives here again.
Just had the guts to root my phone. Used framaroot 1.9.2 using Boromir. Seems all is still working good. Haven't altered it yet no blot ware removal yet or anything else for that matter. The only hic up if you can call it that was root checker said no root, that was until I opened SU, and made sure it was listed, it was, used root checker again, it said phone had root access. :-) Any suggestions?
