After tinkering with your Cherry Mobile Flare, sooner or later you'll be needing to root your phone for whatever reason. And whether this is your first time or nth time to this process, you wanna make sure that it will not make your phone unusable.




This tutorial in rooting your Cherry Mobile Flare is meant to make the steps as simple and easy as possible that's why I also included a video showing you how I rooted my own unit. As always, make sure that you follow steps carefully and don't rush.

DISCLAIMER: Rooting can brick your phone and will also void its warranty. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm not responsible for any possible damage that may happen to your device.




I basically used the same procedures from my previous article on How to Root MyPhone A919 Duo.

Don't connect your phone to the computer until you're told to do so. Rooting your Cherry Mobile Flare:

On your phone, tap “Restore my data”, this will reboot your phone, wait for your phone to be fully ready.
On your computer, the command prompt will require you to press any key to continue.
