How to Root Karbonn Smart A111
Smart A111 is a creation of Indian manufacturer Karbonn Mobiles. They are known for making smartphones that run Android. They are not as widely recognized as, say, Samsung or HTC, but they are quite successful in their homeland.
This time they are offering this handset that we mentioned; its target is made of people who cannot afford other (more expensive) phones. The specifications and features that the Karbonn Smart A111 sports are not that impressive, but they aren’t bad either. Here are the most important ones: a 5″ touchscreen, 512 MB of RAM and a 1.2 GHz CPU.
However, you will soon find out that this kind of processor is not that great, in the sense that you won’t be able to multitask or play more demanding game titles. That’s why a developer created a root method that applies only to this smartphone.
We tested it ourselves and concluded that it was just what this handset needed. After you root the Karbonn Smart A111, you will see great improvement in the performance.

Important instructions

After checking that, do as follows: go to the phone’s Menu, opt for Settings, choose Developer options and check a box sitting close to an option called USB Debugging.
- For step number two you should, after enabling the previous option, turn on a second one; its name: Unknown sources; to do that, you need to go to Menu, select Settings, opt for Security and check Unknown sources. After you’re done with this, grab the USB cable of the Karbonn Smart A111 and use it to allow the two devices to be connected to each other.
