Hi guys! Remember the DTC GT3 Astroid I got few weeks back? I already mentioned that I had successfully rooted the Php4,990 worth, Android 2.3 smartphone using SuperOneClick and been enjoying having the root access permission. So here I will share again the very easy method on how to root the DTC GT3 Astroid in case you already got one.

• Short story: I just used SuperOneClick as how we did it on the Alcatel 918N.

you know your droid is rooted when the SuperUser app is installed.

The process is very simple, first off; you need to download these files:

1. SuperOneClick – the main app used for rooting, very straightforward GUI. {LINK}
2. PDAnet.exe – we need this to easily get the Android drivers installed on your PC. {LINK}

Just a note, temporarily disable your AV as it may delete the PDAnet.exe file and some other files inside the SuperOneClick archive. My AV, which is Norton 2012, deleted the PDAnet.exe right after I had downloaded it. But I assure you that these files are safe and wont harm your machine.

1. Before we proceed, be sure to enable USB debugging on your DTC GT3 Astroid. If you aren’t that familiar well with your android smartphone, you can do it by putting a check from this settings page: Settings > Applications > Development.
2. Connect your device on your PC, it will try to install some drivers but the installation for ADB drivers will fail. So from here, we need now to install the PDAnet.exe
3. Install PDAnet.exe like a normal windows app installation process. When prompted for a device selection, choose Others.
4. After that, open SuperOneClick. Your device will be detected and hit that ROOT button.
5. Wait for the process to complete, and viola! Enjoy your rooted DTC GT3 Astroid phone!
