If you’ve ever rooted a HTC device before, you should know how cumbersome and tedious the whole process can be. However thanks to the development of the One Click Root tool, we’re now able to root the HTC J Butterfly in less than an hour. So if you’re interested, follow this tutorial closely on how to root the HTC J Butterfly HTL21 in less than an hour! But before we begin, I would like to warn you that during the process of rooting, there is a risk of bricking your own device. So if you still want to proceed, you’ll be doing it at your own risk and we will hold no responsible for any form of damage on your device ( please also note that rooting voids your warranty as well ). Make sure you’ve already backup your device!
