With the master unlock code, you maintain the phone personal data, while resetting it you erase all data from device.

Go to "Menu" > "Settings" > "Connectivity" > Streaming" > "Add" > Create a profile named Youtube > Connection "Wifi Only" > Lowest UDP port 2000 > Highest UDP port 64000 > Activate this profile.
Open Opera mini. Go to Youtube and it should work.
Funny I m writing all this stuff in 2016. Although my device has some problems now. Can' t use it as a phone anymore.

Managed to watch youtube videos on the phone.
All I had to do is tweak the "Streaming" settings. Then when you click a youtube video, opera triggers the media player. Just specify the (one thousand something to 66666) ports and choose "only WiFi".
I now that every other phone in the market does that by default. But the 838 needs tweaking by hand.
So yeah. It can actually play youtube videos.

Lucky that I found the last 838 mobile in a shop, in my home town. Bought it for 54 euros.
Never used an Alcatel device before. And I have to say that I'm totally satisfied with the built quality and the overall functionality of the phone.
Using it for 2 days now. So I m not an experienced user. Till now no issues. Basic phone with wifi that surfs the internet.
Only downsides it doesn't play youtube videos. The video recorder exports only 3gp files which means crappy video quality.
BUT has built in facebook, twitter, e-mail, bbc news, weather, opera apps.
Do I recommend it? Definitely. For that price. One of the best phones you can get. If not the best phone.

It's a OT-813 with another external apperance, and less memory. If the price is about 80USD, a great phone, as I have a OT-813 and it's worth the price. A great mobile phone.
