Having root-access on your device opens many doors for custom development to creep in your device. Here’s how:

I. Before You Begin:

1. Place the z4Root APK on your Desktop.

2. Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.

3. Copy the z4Root APK over to the root of your SD card.

4. Once it’s been copied, disconnect your device from your PC.

5. On your device, head to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and turn ON the USB debugging option.

6. Enable the Unknown sources option as well by heading to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Unknown sources.

7. Open the File Manager app on your device and install the APK you copied earlier.

8. Once it’s been installed, launch it from your App Drawer.

9. Hit Permanent Root button in the app and it’ll root your device.
