Nokia X Manager

AngSanley’s Nokia X Manager can be used to root Nokia smartphones. The software provides support for Nokia X and Nokia XL smartphones. The X family is Nokia’s first range of Android-powered smartphones. As a little side note, I just have to bring up the fact that I presented the Nokia X family of affordable smartphones back in February 2014. And then in June 2014, I presented the Nokia X2.

A standard installation process goes something like this: download an installer, run it, go through the instructions presented by a setup wizard. To get Nokia X Manager up and running on your Windows-powered PC (support is provided for 32- and 64-bit editions or Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP), you must go through such a standard installation process. As a matter of fact, the steps you must go through to install Nokia X Manager are presented in the Quick Look video that accompanies this article.

Nokia X Manager has a simple interface that conveniently presents all the functionality you can expect to get from this tool. Said functionality is grouped into several categories:
Commands – detect Nokia device manually; reboot device; reboot to bootloader; reboot to recovery.
Recoveries – install TWRP; install CWM, install Stock Recovery.
ADB – ADB Shell; install APK; ADB Pus; ADB Pull.
Root – root device; unroot device.
GApps – install GApps; remove GApps.
Misc – install insecured kernel; install ADB driver.

Nokia X Manager is free software. Or as AngSanley put it, “I share this for free because I'm good.”

If you have a Nokia X smartphone and you want to root it, then go get Nokia X Manager. This free tool will help you root your device and more.
