Thanks to @Kashamalaga for providing the package file and the easiest tutorial possible :good:
Thanks to @Chainfire for creating such an great app (i.e SuperSU) :good:

Okay, first of all did you downloaded the package given in the guide ?
Once you download it, extract it then you will have two folders, One named as Kingroot and the other named Nokia X USB drivers
and then download the adt bundle from Google
Here's the Link in case you didn't get the adt bundle - DOWNLOAD
Extract it, you will have 2 folders and an Application
Open the Application named SDK Manager
Then from the packages, select and install Platform tools
Once, you installed platform tools, navigate to SDK folder > then Platform-tools folder
Now, in the Platform tools folder, Right click anywhere while holding shift
Click on Open Command Window here
Then run this command : adb devices
See if your device get's listed
If it doesn't get listed, then Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager
Plug-in your Nokia X
With MTP selected in your mobile
Now, you will have Nokia X device listed in the Device Manager
Right Click on it, then click on Update driver
Browse file for USB driver manually
Select ADB driver folder from the package you downloaded from the guide on xdaforums.com (i.e this - NokiaX USB Drivers\nokia\usb_driver and Click OK
Install the drivers
Then again navigate to sdk> platform tools
Then again Open command Window there
Run the command adb devices again
And see if your Nokia X gets listed, the device should be c268 something like that
Once you done this all, Open Kingroot folder
Disconnect and connect your Nokia X
Kingroot app should detect it in few mins
Then follow the on-screen instructions

After the rooting process, your Nokia X re-boots and the SuperSU asks for permission, Grant it. Voila !! You are done now. You may disconnect your Nokia X now and enjoy the Rooted the Nokia X :cowboy:

If your devices is not listed after after step 23 , then do the following -
a) Edit the file C:\Users\<user>\.android\adb_usb.ini and add line
0x0421
b) adb kill-server
c) adb start-server
d) adb devices

Then make sure you have enabled USB Debugging in your Phone. And that the correct ADB drivers are installed on your PC.

Does it just says root failed ? Maybe you should start the rooting process from the beginning of the tutorial (or) maybe your device is still on the previous Software version (i.e v10.0.3), make a check and do update your device if it's the previous update on your device and then try again rooting your device using this tutorial.
