The Star S9500 is a mid-range Android smartphone released back in June last year. The device comes with a 5 inches display, running on a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. The design of the Star S9500 looks quite like the Galaxy S4 if you actually noticed. If you happen to own this device and wants to root it, then you’re at the right place! In the following tutorial, I will be showing you guys how to root Star S9500 using a one-click-root app called Framaroot.
Disclaimer : During the process of rooting, there is always a risk for you to brick your Android device. So if you choose to root your device, you are doing it at your own risk!

- Connect the Star S9500 to your PC.
- Copy and paste the Framaroot apk (which you have downloaded earlier) from your PC over to the root of your device’s SD card.
