How to Root the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus

Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus was released back in 2012 and is one of the Android phones running Android 4.0 ICS at that time. Being an Android device, it can be rooted so you can then tinker around with it, install some mods and maybe change your entire firmware by replacing it with a custom ROM.

So follow it and get your device rooted, then do what you want  with your device:

  1. What’s the pre-rooted system partition files? Because when you say “the last link on the first post”, there’s a list in the beginning that has 4 links, the last of which is the samsung drivers (which you have already given a link to), and then, at the end, there’s a link to a stock recovery image. Maybe you meant the 3rd link on the list that I’ve already mentioned? This link takes you to the superuser root zip file. Please, I’d like some answers.
