will this procedure work with a SM-G386T1 phone? its a metropcs phone. thank you!
Yes, really simple. afterwards go to settings/ about device / scroll to build, tap 7 times. you just enabled developer mode, go back you will see it, you enable usb debugging in these options .

Does the build number matter on this procedure for rooting? Or is it just the Model number of the Avant that is necessary to match up? I only ask because I was reading another tutorial (which is almost word for word the same as this one) and they specified that their build number had to match up or else you’d brick your phone. Just want to ensure I don’t end up ruining my brand new phone!
Thanks
