Rooted my phone exactly as this video suggests, now i need access to my data folder. can you advise on how to view these files?

Its probably something simple but ive been looking for hours on forums.

Thanks

Hmmm.... focus the camera on the EASIEST part of the process, holding down some buttons. Why the hell wouldn't you point it at the computer screen you fucking retard!
