  1. I want to say first, Thank-you, for this simple root and one click method for this phone, but second I feel as though I’m doing it incorrectly because i tried to use this on my girlfriends laptop which is windows 8 or 7 and when i “rooted” it, it didn’t do anything but add the super-user app which was useless because it said i was not rooted and i downloaded root explorer to double check and went to go into the “root” folder on my phone and it showed no files or folders and said “it seems the device is not rooted, this is required to view secured files and folders. so i am a bit confused on this but i will try again on a different computer.

      The procedure’s been confirmed to be working and make sure that you’ve followed all the steps properly in order to root your device.

      Sometimes, just missing a step or doing it incorrectly may lead to an unsuccessful root. So, give it a try on another PC and see if it works then.

      Thanks!
