I’d tried several method on rooting my Galaxy W 8150i using SuperOneClick, ZergRush, DoomLord and Manual Procedure but none of them works 🙁 I’m desperately wants to root my phone. ..
If you think the procedure went well but you don’t have Superuser app on your App Drawer, then head onto Google Play and install it manually. Here’s the link for your convenience – https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&hl=en
