Thanks it worked
Hi there, I see you rooted it 2 months ago. One question: can I root mine withouht worries about the kernel version?
Hi Atilius,
I had the stock version before rooting thereforeI am not exactly sure whether it supports all kernel versions or not. Sorry
Ok, thanks anyway. It’s just that I’m not skilled at this, and though it may work with a newer version, if it doesn’t, I’d have to fix it and it might get tricky.
Thanks again!
