How to Root

[Alatus185]

trying to push files: Permission denied

ok I can get temp root on my phone (the #) and then when I try doing the push su /sdcard/su I get "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su'ermission denied

any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry for the noob question, but how can one "unroot" the phone so I can receive an OTA update when it becomes available, are there instructions on doing this? Thanks!

The real question is how the you got root without pushing the files first. If your following my manual method and not my easy click method then you are reading it in the wrong order. First you should push all files then run rage.bin to get the temp root and then you just make it permanent. So assuming you did follow the directions correctly the files should already be on your sdcard. Then just follow these next commands to finish the process then reboot your phone.

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox

Yes, but this is not a noob question this is a failing to look question.
When you clicked on this post in the forum, you should have seen another one that is talking about that. Or you can look in my sig

How long should the rage.bin section of Part2 take? Does this matter what launcher we are using? Just trying to troubleshoot...

Doesn't look like I am getting past the rage.bin section. I am killing launcherpro to see if that makes a difference.

hey dirk, or cory, i'm rooted and i have a quick question. if i haven't doen anything to my phone with root except install the lag fix using the app and make a titanium backup, would an OTA go through on it since i really haven't changed anything??

No way to tell, I would assume not though. Plus you should never do an ota because you would loose root if it did go through. You should just give us some time to develop a working clockwork recovery and then when an ota comes out we can just root the ota and release the ota with root usual turn around is a day. Now if we can only figure out why samsung's source wont work.

Ok i try part 1 on my fascinate, it doesn't work, i try part 2, still doesn't work...i get the sam ADB messeage. What do i do? I'm new to this, so i'm trying to figure it out. Please help

I let it sit for a bit, then it finally got past the rage.bin section, restarted, now I'm with root!

 

[yevgenchy]

so run part 1, if it doesn't work, immideatly run part 2 and when it says adb desktop error, just let it sit...and not press any key?

 

[yevgenchy]

I'm not going to lie, i'm extremly lost on what i need to do, because the 1 click root doesn't work...i'm so lost! Sorry im a noob!

Where did you extract the Fascinate folder to? Is it C:/fascinate/fascinateroot? The files should be located in the fascinateroot folder.

I had problems with part 1 last night but never got an error. It just kept stalling.

you dont have your drivers in or you have the sd card mounted or you dont have debugging on.

You should start on a freshly restarted phone for best results, I will add that into the tutorial.
