Still having trouble rooting. HELP!

[playnwfire13]

I've made a couple of attempts to root my phone but I always run into the same problem. I download all of the drivers and extract files. When I start root I get the same error message; device not found.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've even watched tutorials on youtube but I'm still missing something. Is there a step that I'm overlooking that is keeping my computer from recognizing my phone or could it be something else?

Please help

What build are you two running? If you're on ED01 or 03, all you have to do to root is put the superuser+busybox.zip on the root of your SD card, ODIN CWM 2.5.x (not 3 yet, as stock isn't voodoo), and boot straight into recovery. Once there, apply the superuser zip and reboot. You should then be rooted. However, I would go to DroidXcon's sticky, as he goes through rooting much more in depth (and he's also much more knowledgeable than I).

1. Make sure the drivers are installed on your PC not just extracted on your computer
2. Reboot your PC to make sure the drivers are installed correctly
3. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone

Your computer isn't seeing your phone correctly, one of those should fix your problem

But, more in line with what your screenshot shows, you need to check your USB debugging settings and make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed. If you're running 64-bit Windows, get the drivers for that, same with 32-bit. The device not found error means that according to adb, your phone isn't connected. Make sure that if you're using a desktop, that you plug in the usb cable to a port on the back of the tower, as those are the ones actually attached to the mainboard.

Also make sure you are using the original USB cable. FWIW, my issue was similar to yours and I had to manually push via ADB.

One click root doesn't work with 2.2 for the fascinate. You'll need to root via alternative means. Good luck!

[playnwfire13]

I have updated to 2.2 so maybe thats the issue. I also think that I didn't install the drivers correctly but I don't know how to check them. Can someone tell me how to check if they were installed correctly?

 

[playnwfire13]

My build is ED03. I'll try what you suggest but a step by step description would be nice. I think it's pretty obvious that I'm computer illiterate so the more details the better.

 

[bigjobber69]

There is a step by step in that thread.

If you don't know how to flash files in clockworkmod recovery (CWM) click the link in my signature for the step-by-step instructions on how to use CWM including screenshot visual aids.

OK. So I got to the point where it says "successfully exploited, installing permanent root files and deleting temp files".

Then it says "mount: operation not permitted"
cannot create /system/ xbin/ su: read only file system

and a bunch of other stuff. any ideas? I feel like I'm almost there.

tried one-click root again because the method on post #5 is a little intimidating, especially since I blew it right off the bat.

 

[playnwfire13]

I tried post #4 and this is what happened right off the bat. uugghhhhh

When you downloaded the drivers for your phone, did you double click on the samsung file you downloaded to complete the process of installing the drivers on your computer? If not do that first. On your phone, hit the menu soft key (lower left corner of your phone), go settings=>applications=>development, and make sure there is a check mark next to usb debugging. Plug your phone into the usb cord, your computer should recognize the phone. Pull down the notification bar and click on "usb connected", then click on "connect usb storage", then click "ok." After you do this, and auto play window will pop up on your computer, click on "open folder to view files." The window that opens up is the root of your sd card, drag and drop the su + busybox zip file here. Then click on the link in my signature below for a step by step walk through of how to flash things in CWM.
