Here is everything you need to know to root Samsung Galaxy Ace 4.

REQUIREMENTS

• The guide is only made for the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4. Do not try this guide on the Ace 3 or any other devices. It won’t work and you can brick down your device. Should you get stuck in a soft-brick, head to Sam Mobile and download the right official firmware build for your model number and flash that with Odin.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Download the Samsung USB Drivers for mobile phones.
• You must use a Windows PC to follow this guide. You cannot use this guide if you are working from a Mac or a computer running Linux.
• You are voiding any warranty that you might have remaining by completing the guide. If your device has Knox security, you can expect it tripped.
• Check that the USB Debugging Mode is already enabled from the Developer Options menu. You can find it from the Apps > Settings App > Developer Options. If you do not see any Developer Options there, it’s probably because the hidden menu needs unlocking.
• Go to the Settings > About Device and tap over the build number seven times. Now when you go back to the Settings you should see the Developer Options menu there.
