How to Root Tecno N3: The new Tecno N3 is quite a beauty and it’s one of the cheapest Android phones in Nigeria today, for just N13,000 (Thirteen Thousand Naira) you can acquire it. The Tecno N3 is a cheap dual SIM phone with a lot of awesome features. Rooting Tecno N3 will give you a super user privilege that can allow you to do anything at all you want with your phone, you can even run a custom ROM on the Tecno N3, and so many more.
But my main aim of rooting Tecno N3 is to be able to use DroidVPN on it since it requires only rooted Androids to be able to work. So let’s see how you can easily root your Tecno N3 using Poot and Ministro II. So let’s start by downloading these apps…
How to Root Tecno N3: Requirements
Click here to download Poot.apk
Click here to download Ministro II from Google play Store
Now let’s get started with rooting your Tecno N3 Android phone:
1. Shut down your Tecno N3 Android phone and remove your memory card
2. Switch on your Tecno N3 Android phone, transfer the Poot.apk and install it on your phone’s internal memory. Remember to enable install apps from unknown sources (Menu > Settings > Application > Unknown Sources), simply tick the check button that says “Allow installation of non-market applicatios”.

3. Go to your phone menu and launch the Poot app, it will require you to install Ministro II, Simply follow the link to Google play store or install the one your downloaded from this post.
4. You will be required to update ministro library, update it through from the Google Play Store. On completion of this update your phone will reboot.
5. You will be faced with two options;
- “Press here to Poot”
- “Built in root check”
6. Click on the first option which is “Press here to Poot” and after a while, three options will be listed thus;
- Get Superuser
- Get root-checker
- In-built rootchecker
7. When you see these options it simply means your Tecno N3 has been rooted successfully. Then visit Google Play Store and download Superuser app. Click here to download the Superuser app.

Check to see if you have a Super User installed because you are getting such error because SU binary was not written, simply restart your phone and try once more till you get it right.

Yes you can use any BIS provided their apn allows you to connect with your Android device. Maybe i should write a comprehensive post on the procedure.
i did the rooting of my tecno N3, but in the proceess, it wrote insufficient memory while ministro II was being installed after it was downloaded. it took me to running services frm where i had to uninstall some of my apps, then i continued the process of which it installed but didn’t do anything. how do i update the library…..?
You should be online to update the library and you need memory space for the apps to run while rooting. Uninstall or move some apps to memory card using AppMgr III and restart the rooting process again.

While rooting remove the memory card from your phone entirely.

Check to see if you have a Super User installed because you are getting such error because SU binary was not written, simply restart your phone and try once more till you get it right.

The link was provided in the article. Here http://rghost.net/44299625 is the link to the app once more.
I’d successfully rooted my phone so when I was downloadind the superuser apk, the poot apk repeated “SU binary…” after I had passed through it in the first place. The superuser apk was also not downloading. Please Your reply would be of help.
My phone keeps shutting down whenever I click on”press to poot”. Please I need a solution to this.
Repeat the process to be sure you didn’t leave anything behind.
After rooting do I still need all the programs i
download?
no you do not need them…except the superuser
Hello Mr Nwosu, Thank you for your tireless effort in assisting us via your blog. I have tried all the steps you listed above (have been restarting for the past 2hr) but to no avail. Sometimes when i Press “Press here to poot” it goes off but never restart by itself.Quick note, i currently use WIFI does this affect the process? Please kindly help me through with this, i would appreciate your priceless support.
Sometimes the kernal version of your OS may make it difficult for this to work all the same keep trying.
when i click “press here to poot” it swutches off.. and i ave to remove my battery and put it back for it to on…what is the solution please
