Nokia X was the Nokia’s first ever Android phone, but its UI is very strange from Android. It doesn’t have essential Google services installed, but rather it has Nokia Store. I once posted a tutorial about How to Root and Install Google Play Store on Nokia X, X+ and XL but we noticed that previous method work fine with Nokia X only, now I’ve come with a new tutorial to root Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL running on v1.1.2.2 and also v11.1.1.
