Connect your phone to PC
Unzip the root tool you downloaded above.
Change the mode of your device from USB Storage to Media Device and proceed further. This change can be done only when you have connected your device to the PC, so don't go mad searching for this option before you have even connected your device. (Thanks RajivMishra13 for the update).
Run the runme.bat file. (Clever naming, eh?)
Click the Runme.bat file
A command prompt with weird green letters will pop-up on your screen.
Follow the onscreen instructions carefully. To start off, you willl need to type in a "1" and press enter.
Note: If you ever want to Unroot your B66, follow the above steps till you reach this one and then, instead of typing "1", type "x" and hit enter. Follow the instructions that appear on the command prompt after that.
The command prompt window with weird green letters: Root by Bin4ry tool
Your device will reboot during the process after which Bin4ry will copy some files to your device.
When the green letters in the command prompt says Have Fun!, then... Have fun.
That means, your device is rooted now and you can enjoy Superuser permissions!
