HOW TO ROOT AND INSTALL CWM ON ALCATEL OT 918

I used to have the alcatel ot 918 and i have to admit that the hardest thing i had with it was rooting the phone damn!i searched all over the net and found the method of using the sp flash tool but its a very complicated process and risky since bricking the phone can happen easily.it took me a month to root mine.but recently i found an easier way to root the phone which will only take you 5 mins to root it and the chances of bricking it is very minimal.
ok lets now start the process.first you will need to download some tools needed to root the phone:
ishuaji root tool.download it here
adb drivers installer.download it here
custom recovery.download it here
superuser.zip.download it here
mobile uncle tool app.download here
*first connect your phone with your comp via usb.install the adb drivers installer.open it.it will detect your phone then click on install and it will install the adb drivers.
-next install the ishuaji root tool.after installing,click on the green button.if the software writes the name of your phone on the left i.e alcatel ot 918 then you are good to go.if it doesnt then the drivers were not installed correctly.after detecting your phone,click the green button and wait.your phone will reboot 3 times.dont panic it is okay.wait for abt 4-5 mins and if your phone succesfully gets rooted,the padlock on the software will become unlocked and a smiling face will be shown there.
*on the phone,the software will install the chinese superuser.now lets go to the 2nd step:install the mobile uncle tools apk you had downloaded.after installing it on your phone,it will ask for superuser permission in chinese jst click the left option
-oh without forgetting,make sure the recovery.img and superuser.zip are at the root of your sdcard and not on any folders.
-now back to mobile uncle tools.you will see the option "flash recovery from sdcard" click on it and if you placed your recovery.img correctly on the sdcard,it will find the recovery.click on it and the phone will reboot to your new cwm.it has a htc background but thats nothing to be scared of
-now that you have your cwm,go to "flash zip from sdcard" and flash the superuser 3.0.7.on rebooting your phone,you will now have the english superuser hence you can now enjoy your rooted phone.
