- Connect your phone to the computer.
- Start install.bat
- If until that moment you have never connected you phone to this PC via adb you will get a popup message on you phone to authorize this computer. Do it.
- The procedure will start. After a while your phone should restart by itself.
- After the phone boots up wait until a popup from SuperSu appears asking for adb shell root rights. Do it.
- When you give the permission you have to see on the computer the sign "Device rooted".
- If it says Device not rooted repeat all the steps running install.bat again.
