2. Install BusyBox Pro v9.7.3 , if busybox ask for backup, select yes, then busyboz will loading, after 100%, MAKE SURE BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM/XBIN select install, select normal install, after success,reboot your XM
up here, Your phone was half rooted (what is half rooted? its mean that your phone can not edit system file, if you try to edit your system file your XM will sudden reboot) (THIS STEP IS SO YOU CAN CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM SETTINGS BEFORE BUSYBOX IS INSTALLED BUT IF YOUR NOT BOTHERED ABOUT A BACKUP THEN YOU CAN SKIP INSTALLING THIS BUSYBOX VERSION AND DOWNLOAD THE BUSYBOX FREE AND USE THAT ONE TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION STRAIGHT AWAY)

3. eat your snack and drink your soda, stay relax 

4. Extact Tool by Anto Kus to your pc (you will get superuser.bat and supersu.bat), then connect your XM (connect by msc and you must have install pcc on your pc), then run supersu.bat when prompted grant root access on phone
your xm will reboot
Once phone reboots wait for pc to detect phone again then finish supersu.bat then unplug device, MAKE SURE TO RERUN THE. bat FILE AGAIN AFTER FIRST REBOOT TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE REBOOT FIX HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY, BEFORE RUNNING THE SCRIPT AGAIN AFTER PHONE HAS BEEN DETECTED BY THE PC UNPLUG THE PHONE THEN RERUN THE .bat FILE.


5. DOWNLOAD THE LATEST BUSYBOX FREE FROM PLAY MARKET AND LET SMART INSTALL FINISH LOADING, ONCE LOADED SELECT LATEST BUSYBOX VERSION (CURRENTLY AT V1.22.1-stericson) AND MAKE SURE ITS INSTALLED IN SYSTEM/XBIN. ONCE INSTALLED REBOOT PHONE THEN YOUR DONE

3: USB DEBUGGING AND MSC MUST BE SELECTED AND TURNED ON



HOW TO UNROOT LONG VERSION:

*only if you used busybox pro*

2. Go into supersu>settings and scroll down to unroot, click it and let it finish
3. Reboot device (NOTE IF YOU'VE RESTORED VIA BUSYBOX THEN SYSTEM WILL BE VERY LAGGY)
4. Go into settings and carry out a factory reset to clear the device fully.

Found it usb debugging needs to be enabled for root fix so enable it

I'll upload the tool when I get in from work I have it on my laptop

Make sure USB debugging is enabled and that PCC has installed the drivers. It didn't work for me either but after PCC installed the drivers it found my device.

    Right everyone with problems trying to root give FULL derails of steps you have done and which app you selected to install and did it show up in app drawer after phone booted back up

    Too many saying it doesn't work and give no details to exactly what isn't working.

    Once replies come in ill see if there's a common fault and try my best to help as I personally use this method myself over 10 times with no problems so there's something that's being done wrong
