I have a Samsung Admire sch-r720. My carrier is Metro-PCS. I rooted this phone, but something went wrong I think.
I installed the indulge drivers
I put the phone in USB Debugging Mode
I used the Admire Root Windows easy one-click root (run.bat)
But when I try to run apps requiring root, I get "you do not have root permissions".
When attempting to root, I get several "permission denied" and operation not permitted errors.
It appears that I do not have write permissions on the device.
Here is a snapshot of how my root attempts went.
error: unknown host service
"[*] Triggering core dump..."
[1] Segmentation fault app_process /dev...
cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied
"[*] Rebooting phone. It may buzz a lot and loop on boot. Don't panic."

Press any key to exit the script.
If I attempt to use adb.exe to access the phone, I can see the device, I can explore around it (Thus drivers are working fine) but I do not have SU permissions. When I try to SU, it is denied, and NO I don't get any "allow SU" pop up on my phone, it just instantly denies me.

If I try to change any permissions, etc, I get denied with:
C:\Install\Admire Root>adb shell chmod 577 system
Unable to chmod system: Read-only file system
I can not SU on the device:
C:\Install\Admire Root>adb shell su
su: permission denied
I am not a complete Noob, but this is my first and only android device. I am comfortable with Linux command line stuff, and seem to have a pretty good grasp on the adb shell.
I seem to be stuck here though.
Any suggestions?
