    2. Hi Ann, yes you need to install the custom recovery first, as original custom recovery won't properly read the superuser root file in the zip. Kindly refer above link to install a custom recovery for your phone.

    1. Hi Eli, you can always unroot your phone, though if you will have issues like your phone won't turn on properly in the future, or just keep on rebooting, just declare that your phone mess up after a software update as they wont know if its rooted or not.

    1. Hi, sorry for terrible delay here - got internet problem recently, btw you can redo the process to unroot, whilst unrooting doesn't mean its a new version it gives you admin access and probably you can install link2sd or chainfire 3d to make your phone more interactive, gives more space, and able to play more games. Basically rooting your phone gives you more flexibility than standard access. If you need a guide how to unroot on a different way, check this link - http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/11/how-to-root-and-unroot-the-alcatel-one-touch-918n-blaze-glory/
