How To Root Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660
The Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 is a smartphone that lets you experience Android without having to spend much from your pocket. This phone is ideal for first-time Android users, teenagers, and those who want to experiment and play with their phones. But, unbenknownst to most newcomers to Android, there is more to play and experiment with than just the apps and features that your phone comes with from the factory. If you root your phone, you can open it to countless opportunities and possibilities for customizing, tweaking, and modding.
But, to reach farther from the shore, you need to start from the beginning: rooting your Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn to do just that. You’ll also find instructions for installing ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone.
Caution
Rooting your phone is a risky endeavor (apart from breaking your phone’s warranty). Although most folks succeed with it, a few others fail.

Do not hold us responsible for whatever happens to your phone or to you because of your use of these instructions.
