The Cubot One was released back in July last year, spotting a 4.7-inch HD display powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Mediatek chipset. As the name already suggested, the Cubot One is an exact clone for the HTC One flagship – although its slightly smaller as compared to the latter. What’s great is that this device comes with a price of just $180 – more than 3 times cheaper than the HTC One. Like any other Android smartphones, you can also root Cubot One if you wish to install custom ROMs or other root-only apps on the device. In this tutorial, we will show you exactly how to root Cubot One using Framaroot.
