How to Root

[Chris3D]

Hi, I took a closer look at the installation and the root installation has failed, (see below) the cleanup operation fails after running 'rage.bin'.

Recommendations?

Make sure USB debugging is turned on and run adb to see what's going on:

In a command prompt, navigate to the folder holding all the root files and type: "adb shell" (no quotes).

Next, type "su" to see if su is installed. Check your phone to see if a message pops up asking for you to allow superuser.

If that doesn't work, type "cd data/local/tmp" That'll put you in the directory were the root script initially copied files to.

Now, type "ls" to get a file listing. Do you see files like com.sh, su, busybox and Superuser.apk?

Let me know the results of that...

Hello. I am a noob to the fascinate root but I rooted my Droid1 and loved it. I am now attempting to root my fascinate and here is the issue I'm having:

I D/L'd the 64 bit driver for Samsung and then tried to d/l the FascinateRoov_v2.zip file and it won't d/l. It just sends me to a new page. I am assuming that the file is gone. If someone has already posted the new d/l in one of the 59 pages of replies, I am sorry. I am simply too tired to go through all of them tonight. Thank you and have a good night.

EDIT: NVM. I just d/l'd to my phone and transferred it over. It's weird that the PC wouldn't d/l the file and my phone would. 1pt for fascinate!

I just clicked on the link in Dirrk's first post and it re-downloaded the .zip for me. So try again. And check your downloads it might be there.

Hi,

I tried the Z4root approach (see this link Z4Root Is One Click Root App For Samsung Galaxy S / Android Phones) along with adb shell and this has worked for me!

Many thanks for the assistance.

does not work

I dont know then, both links in Dirrk's post worked for me on my win7 64 bit laptop. I now have 3 .zips in my downloads. So maybe you guys aren't putting it in the right spot. But it's stilling working for me.

If you want help, you'll have to be a little more descriptive of the problem you're having.

Worked perfectly. Thanks

I've had something similar happen a few times too. For some reason, after the initial reboot, Windows wouldn't see the phone - it wouldn't show up in the device manager and the root script couldn't finish the last few steps.

All you need to do is manually execute the last few commands that the script couldn't. So, reboot your phone normally, connect it to your computer, open a Command prompt (start>run>cmd). Navigate to wherever you unzipped the root files and type the following, one at a time:

adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/com.sh

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/su

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/rage.bin

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/com.sh

The first one runs a shell script to set file permissions, the others just remove the root files from the temporary spot they were being stored.

Then just reboot your phone. Try that and let me know if it works.

Ok.. so i used this. now i have superuser on my phone.. however when i open it it shows no apps.. also i dont see busy box in my app list. is this how it should be? I am new to this. where do i go from here if i want to install voodoo?

 

[Fappy Jones]

Yes this is normal, if you haven't installed any apps that use root, you won't see anything in the superuser list. And as far as Voodoo I would just wait until the newer Voodoo gets released after the new update. The newer ver. is supposed to be less buggy.

I know its off topic but did Dirrk really go to iPhone? Or is that just all hearsay...

I have just been hogged down with work and school that I have had 0 time to work on coding. Plus any time i have had in the last week I have spent playing cod. Christmas time is a busy time for my job and there are only two weeks until finals. But I promise I will never go to an iphone even if I do have to sell them next year. Plus the only reason I rooted my phone and made a kernel for it was to make it work perfectly for me. Since it is working and I have had 0 problems in almost 2 months of using it I dont really see room for much improvement until 2.2 comes out.

first off, i'm a total noob at this rooting stuff, but i did follow instructions and this is the screen i get:

immediately after the "Start time: 18:02:56.98" line appears, the phone shuts off to reset, and i'm assuming that why the "error: device not found" is showing up.

the whole process finishes, from top to bottom in maybe 10-15 sec and if i press a key at the end, it just closes the cmd prompt window.

can anyone help? many thanks in advance

Follow the instructions in post 572 on page 58 of this thread. Your computer isn't recognizing your phone after it reboots in time for the script to finish the last few steps. You just have to manually execute a few commands.

 

[schroeder]

When i enter the first command, this is what i'm getting:

And just so that i'm clear on this, i'm NOT supposed to mount, just have debugging enabled, right?

 

[schroeder]

it's cool, i just rooted the old fashion way, manually. barnacle works, so i guess i'm good. Thanks for the help, chris3d!
