Have you ever try to root Galaxy S Advance (I9070) using SuperOneClick tool? I bet it didn’t work. Unlike its brothers “Galaxy S, S2 and S3″ the stripped down Galaxy S variant need a little bit more effort to get root access on it. However it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy its full speed processor, decent RAM amount, and of course its nice Samsung UI. Anyway, if you insist to gain root access in it, try following steps carefully.
