How to Root Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300

 Before you begin:

• Rooting the phone will void its warranty.  So you may have to install the stock firmware to get back your warranty.
• Make a backup of all the important data in your phone including contacts, messages and important applications.
• Make sure that your phone has more than 50% of battery.
• Install all the required Samsung USB drivers required to connect your mobile with PC.  I would suggest you to install KIES 2.0 in your PC which will automatically install all the required drivers.
• Lastly don’t forget to enable USB debugging option in your phone. For enabling it, go to:

Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
