How to Root the Huawei Ascend P1
The Huawei Ascend P1 was launched back in May, 2012 and it featured a 1.5GHz Dual-Core processor along with a 1GB of RAM. Specifications of the device are quite good and if you just bough this device, you’d be interested in rooting it. Rooting is a process to gain access to system-level files on your device and once it’s done, you will be able to modify the system-level files. To put it into simple words, you’ll have access to hundreds of apps that require rooted devices. If this sounds good to you, here’s how you can root your Huawei Ascend P1:
I. Before You Begin:
1. This will void the warranty of your device. However, you can reinstate the warranty by unrooting your device if there’s any unrooting procedure available.
2. This works on Windows based PCs only.
II. Downloading Required Files:
1. Root Package (Download link’s given in the first step)
