NOTE: FILE LINKS ATTACHED

Many users of MyPhone A618 are ruined their phone because they can't root their phone...it's because the process of rooting their phone are depending to what OS of computer they are using like XP,Mac,7 etc. I think this guide is already used by other sites but in this guide..i will make it easier to understand for the users who are new to android world..

First...What is Rooting/Root access?

Root is used to gained access to your system..and do what you can't do when your phone is not rooted

Disadvantage

-it will void your warranty and high risk of bricking your phone.(usually bootloop)

Advantage

-you can do the impossible things that you cannot do before you were not rooted

-you can removed built in apps like Click and other bloatwares that eats your phone memory.

-if your phone crashed, you can fix it at your own without going to customer service and other phone store(depends on your experience..but commonly the most good thing to fix your phone is to restore your backup using custom recovery)

-can use applications that need root access like root explorer and many more.

-etc..
