Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Saferoot for F3 after update

dschach · Dec 17, 2013

For those who prefer not using kingo, Saferoot successfully rooted my t-mobile F3 after the recent "b" update.

[ROOT] Saferoot: Root for VRUEMJ7, MK2, and Android 4.3 - xda-developers

It works on any phone with a linux kernel before 3.5.5

Not sure, why, but it just hanged for me ... it said "connect device and press any key" Connected (MTP + USB debugging) and pressed a space bar. Cursor moved ot the next line and that's it.

Trying Cydia Impactor now.

EDIT: N/M Worked the second time.

JJ, I think the guide is self explanatory. Getting the drivers sorted is the big pain. Then the package from xda contains everything you need.

THANKS!!! THIS WORKED!!!, Now to free up some memory! The phone is basically worthless to me with such little memory.

I have been unsuccessful with motochopper, and didn't want to use the one possibly going to CHINA. just think about all the stuff they could access!!!

Keep up the great work guys!
