It's a very straightforward and easy affair.
  • Install the USB drivers for your phone from Samsung.
  • Download SuperOneClick from shortfuse.org
  • Extract the the SuperOneClick program on your computer
  • On your phone, enable USB debugging (settings>applications>development)
  • Plug your phone into a full speed and powered USB port on your computer (not on a hub)
  • Follow the directions and run SuperOneClick.

Good luck, and enjoy the root!

Thanks! Nice to see one of the big dogs slumming it in the low level phone forums. Just because we made a bad choice in phones doesn't mean we are bad people.
There are quite a few custom roms floating around for the intercept. I am currently rocking Ubuntdroid v4.5. It will be nice to get some action in the intercept forums.

VM Intercept. SuperOneClick gives only temp root. Haven't found anything permanent that keeps full phone function. :-(

Every time I attempt to install the samsung drivers it says "I have incompatible processor type". I have attempted on numerious PCs with the same result. Are the windows drivers that it gives the phone the same as the Samsung drivers?

What do you mean by "temp root"? I just want to be clear.

Also: Why is the VM branded Intercept so different when it comes to rooting and getting ROMs on to it? Is it simply because it's pre-paid?

The software files for rooting VM Samsung Intercept are different than Sprint Samsung Intercept - probably because of the carrier specific radio, configurations, settings, features. Other than different software files the process/steps is same.

More at sdx-developers.com under Samsung Intercept section.
