How to Root:

1. Copy both the files to the root of your SD card. Now what is Root , root layer is the top most layer. That is just open the SD card and place it there itself do not place it inside a folder or sub folder.

2. Now again restart the phone to recovery mode by pressing Power Key + Volume UP + Volume Down Key.

3. You will see an Android icon with warning/error on the screen, press the power button.

4. You will see the recovery mode menus in the screen. Now this is tricky, to select any option from the screen you have to press two touch buttons simultaneously on your phone’s bottom, left one which is for the menu and right one which is for going to the previous screen. You have to keep pressing it for 5-6 seconds.

5. From the recovery screen select “wipe data/factory reset” and then “wipe cache partition”

6. Once it’s done, select “apply update from sd card” option and choose the file “Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip” from the SD card.

7. Repeat the above step and choose the file “su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip”.

Once you flash both the files select the option “reboot system now” from the recovery screen.

Verification:

Now you'll most probably see an app super user which almost confirms you've successfully rooted

but still if you have doubt download some app like root checker(free in playstore) to confirm whether you've successfully rooted or not.

Now how to install CWM recovery?

1) Place the CWM image in the root of your sd card. Now what is Root , root layer is the top most layer. That is just open the SD card and place it there itself do not place it inside a folder or sub folder only then mobile uncle tool can recognize it.

2) Install mobile uncle tools.

3) Open Mobile uncle tools and select the option Recovery update.

Now you'll see the file you placed in your sd card ,now click it and then click ok. Now it will ask "boot into recovery mode" click yes and now you are in CWM recovery!

Note: If you have connected to internet while doing this you may get loads of other options after clicking recovery update don't worry just click the one you placed in sd card. verify the name twice.
