Yup...exactly what mine does. I'm going to try this root app that was mentioned and see how it goes. Will post results.
 
Help!

Just got my Fascinate and i am desperate to root. I downloaded both the samsung stuff and the fascinate root program. I hit start root and get this error message. I went and changed the options under the apps and my usb cord is hooked up. So what's the problem?

Same issue after flashing DL09 with ODIN. Trying Z4Root now.


EDIT - Looks like z4root is not working either. Great, went from having root to just wanting to try the new DL09 to not having root...

This^^on my part as well.
 
make sure device is in USB debugging mode, if its not then the BAT file will not find the device and it will not work
 
Settings...applications...development....

Thats where it is also check box to stay awake when charging. Mine failed first time i rooted because of that
 
This will probably help no one but this was my experience rooting with the one click method.
I had numerous:
error: device not found
For days I tried everything...use diff usb ports, debugging on/off, tried editing bat file to give more wait time between pauses, you name it I tried. I finally gave up. Maybe 5 days later with no apparent changes that I'm aware of, cmd just went through. No idea why
 
Ok got mine working just a second ago. I was at work all day and could not get it to work.

Came home and decided to use the same port I was using last night to flash the ROM. Worked like a charm.

Im not sure if that has anything to do with it but thought I would share.
 
I downloaded everything, started the root...
and its been sitting here for a while now doing nothing....

For those having trouble rooting after DI09

If you're having trouble rooting after upgrading to DI09, try these steps:

1. Download Samsung Drivers and FascinateRoot_v02.zip (in the very first post in this forum)

2. Install the Samsung Driver exe file (if you haven't already)

3. Next, unzip the FascinateRoot_v02.zip file.

4. Make sure ADB Debug mode is turned on and that your phone is plugged into the USB port on your computer.

5. Open up a DOS command prompt and navigate to the directory you just unzipped by typing the following in the DOS command prompt:

cd C:\path\to\unzipped\directory\FascinateRoot_v02\

6: Next, copy the following into the DOS command prompt (the following IS CASE SENSITIVE):

adb devices
<hit the enter key> (this is to verify that your phone is properly connected)

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
<hit the enter key>

adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
<hit the enter key>

adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
<hit the enter key>

adb push rage.bin /data/local/tmp/rage.bin
<hit the enter key>

adb push com.sh /data/local/tmp/com.sh
<hit the enter key>

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage.bin
<hit the enter key>

adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/com.sh
<hit the enter key>

adb reboot
<hit the enter key>

----------------------------------

That should be all there is to it, you should now now have root access and see the superuser app installed. If it doesn't work, restart your phone and try once more. :D
 
Got it to work on second try. Thanks

Had to restart root 2 different times but it did end up going through. Thanks for all yunz do!
 
What am i missing here ?

Hmmm, type:

adb reboot

after:

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage.bin

After your phone boots back up, move forward with:

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



See if that helps, I had to run the steps in my previous post twice before they worked.

Same exact result :confused::(
 
How i Rooted DL09

Ok so i have spent 5 hours trying to achieve root with i ended up having to mix and match methods. i can't say this will work for you and dont ask me what any of it means it works and thats all i care about.

As always do this at your own risk i am not responsible for anything you do to your device

1. From OP of this thread download and install the the appropriate Samsung Fascinate drivers:

Download and Install Samsung Drivers

64bit:
http://www.wikifilez.com/root%20files/epic4g/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
or
32bit:
http://www.wikifilez.com/root files/epic4g/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe


2. Plug in your Device, put it in debug mode and stay awake

3. From OP of this thread download the FascinateRoot_v02.zip http://forum.androidcentral.com/att...576d1285453266-how-root-fascinateroot_v02.zip FascinateRoot_v2.zip file and extract it to the root of your C:\ drive So the path should look like this: C:\FascinateRoot_v02

4. Now go to your start button on your menu bar,in the run field or search field depending on your version of windows, type CMD and hit enter. The command box will present itself. From here on out just copy and paste the commands i will provide below. To paste in the command box you must right click on the mouse and select paste. Do not paste BOLD text below those are just for info.

Commands are as follows:

cd C:\FascinateRoot_v02

adb devices

It will state
"List of devices attached
I500******* device"
If you dont see this you are not connected


adb push rage.bin /data/local/tmp/rage.bin

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

chmod 0755 rage.bin

This step is important. After you type the next command there will be a pause and you will have to wait until you are kicked out of adb shell. It is important you do not touch your phone or type anything in the command window. If you do don't worry, nothing bad will happen you will most likely have to pull your battery and try to run the command again. If your phone doesn't lock up you can probably unplug it and plug it back in and start back at "adb shell"

./rage.bin

After several seconds the $ prompt will come back
After another 20 seconds or so you will be kicked back to the C:\FascinateRoot_v02 prompt.


adb devices

If your device is still connected proceed,if not give it a min or to and type adb devices again. if the phone is locked up after a couple mins battery pull and start over.


adb shell

You should now be at a # prompt
This mean you have achieved temporary root on the device.


exit

You should now be at the C:\rootfiles prompt again
Type the following commands:


adb push su /sdcard/su

adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox

adb shell

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

cd /system/xbin

cat /sdcard/su > ./su

cat /sdcard/busybox > ./busybox

chmod 4755 su

chmod 4755 busybox

exit

You should be back at the C:\FascinateRoot_v02 prompt

adb install Superuser.apk

It will now install the Superuser.apk this may take some time while it installs when it is over it will say:

Success-after you see Success hit Ctrl-C Then reset your device


5. You have now achieved Root, congrats. If this didnt work for you well then :confused: time for a different approach.

Here is a screen shot of what i did, you will see some mistakes i made... and at the end it says failure but i had already manually installed the Superuser.apk so thats the reason for that. this is just to give you an Idea of what you are getting yourself involved with.
