Note: Before you get started, make sure that your phone is fully charged, you back up all data on your Android device and you have a strong and stable internet connection to maximise the chances of a successful root first time around.
Step 1. Install and launch the Android Root toolkit.
Step 2. Once the toolkit screen is available, simply select “Root” feature from the dashboard.
Step 3. Use a USB cable to connect the phone to your PC and the Root toolkit software will automatically recognize your phone and prompt you to connect.
Step 4. Click start to continue and the Root toolkit will detect the phone and prompt you to click “Root Now” once the software is ready to work.
Step 5. Wait patiently as the Android Root toolkit does its magic and after a few minutes, your device will have been successfully rooted and you are ready to experience the sheer power of root access.
Step 1. Download the free KingoRoot software which can be easily found here. Once the software is downloaded, install and launch KingoRoot for PC.
Step 2. Connect your Android device to your PC through the USB cable and the KingoRoot software will scan and detect your device.
If you haven’t already installed the driver, the program will automatically install the driver for you. When all the above is finished, the program will make a connection with your device and prepare for rooting.
Step 3. Enable “USB Debugging” through the main screen of KingoRoot and follow the instructions laid out by KingoRoot. The device model name and root status will appear on the program and you are almost ready to go at this point.
Step 4. Simply click “Root” to get the party started and sit back for a few minutes while everything starts working. Rooting times will vary depending on connection and model of Android phone so don’t lose your patience.
