Here’s the instructions on how to root MyPhone A818 Duo:

Disclaimer: I am not responsible on whatever damage may happen on your device. Do this at your own risk. :P

First off, you need to install the Google USB Drivers. You can get that by installing Android SDK on your machine and browsing on the Extras section, from there you can install the needed drivers.

After that, disable your Anti-virus on your machine or other similar programs. This will mess up the rooting process as it deletes or blocks some files and processes of what we are trying to do.

Download and install SuperOneClick.

Before you connect your A818 device on your PC, be sure to enable USB Debugging. You can check how it was done from my last post: Rooting LG Optimus L3. Or just refer to the image below:

Enabling USB Debugging

^it may not be the same but that is the settings we are talking about here.

Then connect your device on your PC. Run the SuperOneClick app then click on the ROOT button that you can see.

Problems? Errors? Failed Root? Stucked?

• Be sure you had disabled your anti-virus. Re-extract the SOC files to make sure there arent any deleted files that is vital on the rooting process.
• Be sure you had installed the Google USB Drivers. You can seek help from Google if you are lost on this process. Well, its almost all common sense.
• Be sure you had enable USB debugging.
• Try the other method.
