|
|
|
||

2. Downgrade the software to OB6 using Odin (you don't need to do anything fancy to downgrade; just flash the image)
|
||
|
|
3. Enable ADB in developer settings
|
||
|
|
4. Get root using ArabicToolApp.exe
|
||
|
|
5. Follow the instructions on the bootloader unlock page to push the "unlock_n3" binary to the device and run it
