Oh, I am very sorry for the late replies. Yes, I can help you with this. First download the "Shuame", it is in Chinese version but don't worry. Install it, once installed plug your phone to the computer and let the software install the hardware required first, then you will see three options, Click on the root and let it work for a while. My phone switched off itself after a while and it showed successful with a right mark on the computer. Now take off the battery and put it back again, then turn it on. You can see a "kinguser" in your applications. There, it is rooted. To unroot it later, you will need the same software so do not uninstall it yet.[Ed. note: Be aware that the site mentioned above has a poor WOT trustworthiness rating and the registrant owns over 6100 other domains which is sometimes a sign it is used to spread malware.]

That link to androidforum, I tried it but didn't work with my phone. But I had a luck with the shuame one, It was hard to understand and work with it but it was totally worth it. Thank you very much.
