Cydia Impactor rules!
After getting my ZTE AWE, I’ve been looking for a way to use the tethering feature that can be useful where I am currently located at! The only problem is that Virgin Mobile (VM) does not let me pay the 15 dollar tethering charge for using it has a wifi hotspotl According to them, there is no way to enable this. So I went searching for ways to enable it. I have gotten closer to making that happen by BREAKING MY WARRANTY. According to VM, if I root the device, it voids the warranty of the device. I kind of think this a small ridiculous rule so it is up to you!
The way I did it was a very easy way to download Cydia Impactor to root your device! It puts the Super USER binaries on your device and allows them to have any thing on it that you want.
Steps to root phone:
- Install the ZTE AWE software from phone! You can do this simply by System Settings —> Connect to PC and selecting Install driver! (Only needs to be done on Windows or Mac OS!)
- Put the Phone on USB Debug : System Settings —> Developer Options — > USB Debugging
- You will need to click on the USB menu on Cydia Impactor and select the N800 driver.
- Once your do that you can simply drop the SuperSU Binaries
- Install the SuperSU from ChainFire
Once your have done all this you will have ROOT access. It is up to you what you want to do but I have found that you have several things that can help monitor your phone and speed it up. In the coming weeks I will tell you about a few of my favorite apps that work to help keep your phone running smooth!
