Default [How To] Root Milestone 2

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH


Here is a tutorial made by me. Try to be as clear as possible to no have doubts.

First of all, gives root access permissions and capabilities of advanced settings changes that normal users can not. This expands the use of some applications that only work if the unit is rooted.


*** IMPORTANT ***

Make every procedure at your own risk. Doing it wrong can brick your phone and turn it into a very stylish paper weight. I´m not responsible for possible damage.


PROGRAMMES REQUIRED

Z4root-1.3.0


FOOTSTEPS

1 - Download z4root.apk, transfer it to a folder on the SD card;

2 - Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB Debugging;

3 - Go to File -> Files from the SD card and locate the "z4root.apk";

4 - Select and install "z4root.apk";

5 - Go back to menu and select z4root;

6 - When the application open, select "Root";

7 - After the process of Root and the unit will restart when you return he will be rooted;


The whole process takes no more than 5 minutes. With the unit rooted will show a new icon, "Superuser" menu, there you can manage the applications that will be allowed access.


The whole process was done by me using Windows 7 Ultimate x32.
It took about 3 minutes. I am available for questions.

My one is UK version and please install > Temp root > Permanant root (if you want)

Else you may get a hang of system. It took me about less than 1 minute for whole process. Thank you.

Thanks brenopapito. But I already have my phone rooted. As I said it just took me longer coz probably I missed enabling debugging.
