Dude.. You're awesome.. You've got the guts for rooting your KitKat device so early. That's amazing.!
Prerequisite:
1. Unlocking Bootloader
Switch the phone off. Then boot it into the bootloader/fastboot mode by holding volume down + power. Plug the phone into your PC with a USB cable, then open a command prompt window window in your platform-tools folder in adb in your SDK and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phones serial number shows up you are good to go. Next type this to unlock your bootloader.
Code: fastboot oem unlock
On your phone a screen should pop up asking whether or not you would like to unlock the bootloader. Use the volume rockers to highlight "Yes" then press power to confirm the action.
2. Installing a Custom Recovery
Turn the phone off. Then boot it into the bootloader by holding volume down + power. Rename the recovery file (CWM or TWRP) that you downloaded above to recovery.img. Remember that you should place it in the platform-tools folder.
Open command prompt and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Rooting
Since, now your phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed you have a two options to gain root (Pick one or the other. You don't need to do both)
Option A) Flash SuperSU binaries which will give you root with the stock rom
Copy SuperSU v1.65 onto your phone. (remember the location where you copy it to)
Turn the phone off then boot into the bootloader. (volume down + power). Once in the bootloader use the volume rockers to scroll onto Recovery Mode, then press power to select it. This should bring you into your newly installed custom recovery. Go to the folder using CWM/TWRP and install the zip.
Thats it. You're done. Enjoy.!
Happy Modding!
