STEP TWO: DOWNLOAD ADB DRIVERS
**To those who already Rooted their Cherry Mobile Ultra before may skip this STEP**
- To do this we must obtain UNIVERSAL ADB DRIVERS
- Go to the Universal ADB Driver site for the latest executable
- Then Download the ADB Driver Installer (9.0 MB) in the DOWNLOADS SECTION
- Run the application as ADMIN and press allow/unblock if your firewall asks about the app connecting to the internet.
- **You'll see a window Like this: View attachment 192130
- PLUG-IN your phone to the Computer IF UNPLUGGED
- You'll now see a New Device with an EXCLAMATION POINT (!) : View attachment 192132
- *NOTE: If you press install. You'll see that it would say [ERROR] Incompatible with OS WHEN USING WINDOWS Vista/7/8/8.1.*
- If it FAILS then you have to DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE. You may want to use Google for that.
- After DISABLING DRIVER SIGNATURE you'll now be brought to your desktop.
- NOTE: IT MAY SEEM LIKE IT DID NOTHING ONCE YOU DISABLED DRIVER SIGNATURE SO DON'T RESTART YET
- Open ADBDriverInstaller again as ADMIN
- Press Install and you might get a window saying "WINDOWS CAN'T VERIFY PUBLISHER..."
- Press Install Driver Anyway once you get that Window
- A CHECK mark beside your Device Manufacturer: K-Touch Will appear in green color meaning it has succeeded driver installation
- If it SUCCEEDS then Proceed to STEP THREE.
STEP THREE: Download XMAX'S ROOT TOOL for MSM8926
- Download XMAX'S ROOT TOOL HERE
- EXTRACT the contents to your Desktop
- Make sure your phone is plugged to the Computer
- Open the contents and RUN the Batch file named XMAX_VEC4G_SPAIN_ROOT
- YOUR PHONE MAY RESTART TWICE OR THRICE SO DONT TOUCH IT YET
- Wait for the Batch File to FINISH Operations until you see PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE View attachment 193384
