First root with CWM [Help]

[nastarseven]

Hey all!

I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Star, bottom-end 4.1.2 phone.
I looked in a guide which told me to:

A) Flash cwm recovery---done
B) Select Install zip from SD card
C) Select update supersu.zip

What zip file is it talking about? Do I have to download something else?
I'd like to know what to do after installing CWM please.

Thanks!

Hello there nastarseven
It appears that you need the supersu.zip file.

What guide are you following? do you have a link to it so we can check it out?

Hi!
Thanks for replying.

I was using method 3 in this guide: [GUIDE] All in one guide for Galaxy Star Duos S5282 - XDA Forum
and it did not mention the filename or give any links.

Even after extensive Googling I was unsure of the fact that SuperSu is used in rooting every phone, so I needed to confirm this.
I've succeeded in rooting my phone now!

Thanks!
