How To Root Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769

Released earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769 would be rooted. That time has finally come, thanks to the support of the development community. XDA developer k0nane has already released a pre-rooted stock kernel that is tailor-made for the Galaxy S Blaze 4G. You don’t have to go through long confusing instructions to gain root access on your Galaxy S Blaze 4G; you can simply flash the pre-rooted stock kernel using Odin3.

The pre-rooted kernel is perfectly safe to use as it doesn’t make any other changes on your phone other than rooting it. As an added bonus, the kernel already includes a fully-linked copy of BusyBox 1.19.3, BusyBox running parts support, and other various tools.
