Good day guys.
I need help in rooting this phone.
I've been trying to do that three-button combo to get in to recovery, but every time I do, the phone just boots straight to Android.
Is there any other way to get to the recovery menu?
By the way, the Vol_Down button is damaged, it cannot be used.
Unfortunately, the phone isn't rooted yet so I think the terminal app is a no-go.It should be possible to reboot into recovery via adb or in a terminal app.. But I would advice against it as there is no way to navigate in the recovery menu with a broken volume button.
Nevermind, all three of 'em are buggy still @.@
