(iii). Go to the device manager and there you will find and unknown device. Right click on it and click on Update driver link.

(iv). Then click the browse my computer link and navigate to the ADB folder link on the Desktop. Inside the ADB folder you will find two folders 32Bit drivers and 64Bit drivers. Select your computer specific and select ok.

The method contains all the necessary steps top bne taken and are well ordered and placed. If there is any mistake menting them in the posts below and i will correct them.

If you want any other guide then also post below i will try and help as much as i can.

This method is preffered by me and is proven better then the superuser app. This method is followed by me always for this device.

There are other methods as running a script will give you superuser but the method followed above is a better and a persistent one.

Trust me you wont regret.

Disclaimer: All the above steps are really safe to attempt but in any case if your device wont work after all these then i am not responsible in any way.

You accept and agree that all the risks and rewards incidental to this act will be yours.
