Before you root your device, make sure you have adb and fastboot set up properly on your computer. You can probably follow steps 1-5 from this guide to set them up: http://androidforums.com/awe-all-th...orkmod-recovery-stock-recovery-root-easy.html
1. Download PhilZ recovery here: Dev-Host - recovery.img - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service
2. Download Superuser from here: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
3. Open up a command prompt where you downloaded the files
4. Type "adb reboot-bootloader without quotes" (At this point, your phone will reboot to a black screen with the red light on)
5. Type "fastboot boot recovery.img" without quotes (If you are using linux, you may need to run the command with sudo) (You are now in PhilZ recovey if successful)
6. On your phone, select "Install Zip"
7. Select "Install from sideload"
8. On your computer, in the command prompt you had open earlier, type "adb sideload Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip" without quotes
9. When it is finished installing, your device should now be rooted!
Note: I prefer to use this method of rooting, because you don't need to install any extra apps on your phone or use any exploits. It also installs just Superuser.apk and the su binary.
