METHOD 1: MOTOCHOPPER ROOT TOOL

4. With phone duly connected, now double click on the “run.bat” file in the extracted folder. It will open up a command prompt.
   
5. Now press any key to root your phone. Let the magic happen! The Motochopper will do its job, that is, exploit will run and will install the root package automatically.

7. After the reboot, you will find the SuperSU app in the app drawer. Congrats your device is rooted!
