Hello everyone, Im making a new rooting tutorial for the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G as the last tutorial [root]\{cm9} samsung galaxy relay 4g (updated 11/19) wasn't working for me. This tutorial will also have more details so will be easier to follow for the less technical.
BEFORE I START I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE. ROOTING YOUR PHONE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY..
