[Jesus Ayala1]

I bought a telephone in mexico, ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 985 android, and I want to install some applications, but I receive a message this application will work only on rooted phones.
what it realy means ROOTED. I also downloaded a popular software to root it and don't work what can I do?
