The link in the first post you have to download on a computer.

Then you would follow my previous instructions. I don't believe you can do it all on your phone, but in not 100%. I did mine on the computer and it works fine. No money requested.

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

I would suggest that you take the time to read, read, read, then read some more, then reread before you attempt to root your phone. Everything you need is in the post (step by step instructions). This is as easy as it gets, I would encourage you to REAAAAAAAAAAAD.

Why do you need to root?

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

cause I need room on my cell for work related apps and I have to do a lot of research on my sons ill ness. Im very sorry just tired and have never even herd of root till being on here asking bout up dateing and makeing more room on my phone

For what it's worth, I'd recommend sticking with the recommended method. Also, get Titanium Backup Pro (well worth the couple of bucks for the full build).

Maybe I'm just confused. Rooting isn't really going to give you anymore room or make it faster/more reliable over stock. Did you get the 16 or 32GB version? Also do you have an sdcard? You can already save any files, pictures, etc to the external sd card.

Re: root samsung prevail but not with odin is it possible?

Hi im in desperate need of help I use my phone on a 24/7 basis I cant download the apps I need for me and so I baught a 32GB SD and well I cant store nothing on it.... I need to root my phone but I truly cant afford $25, I have 3 kids on my own to take care of and and for certin health problems with my kids I need something dependable and faster please help....................... I hope someone cant help....

Problem here is she asking asking for root on Samsung Prevail and not the sIII. These instructions to simple root is set up for the Verizon S3.

Maybe if things are really bad for her as she claims , we as a community could do a fundraiser and gather some funds together and get her additional memory cards for her phone.

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

If you have the Prevail, you'll probably want to look at their device specific forum here to see if there's anything. Not really too much here on android central about it but did find another link that discusses the root procedure. Looks like it may work without odin only if you haven't received the latest OTA. Beyond that I have no idea since I don't have a Prevail. Hopefully someone else with the device can be of more help.

As for root, still not 100% it's going to help. The low internal storage is still going to be a major problem. You should be able to move apps to the sd card in Android 2.2 without root but some apps tend to go wonky.

Deadlyangel, the problem is your post is in the wrong section asking for help. Maybe the help & how-to would be a good start to pick up your help needed. :-[

Not that pjNC needs defending from me, but he can be of great help at times. Over on the VZW community boards, he has been a great asset over there as well.

To move files to your sdcard you may need a file manager do so, look in the play store for something like es file manager. If you like some additional help start a new thread in the correct forum and I will or anyone else will gladly help if we can?

I have additional link i can send you via pm if you would like it to help you out some!

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

Definitely wasn't my intention for the post to come across as mean. Was just trying to point you in the right direction. You posted this thread in the hacks section for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3. The first link was to the specific section here for your phone as it's likely that very few if any in this particular thread are familiar with that device and the second was to another forum that seems to have more development geared toward the Prevail.

As mentioned, the problem is lack of internal space on the prevail. No need in rooting and risking the chance of a brick if it isn't going to help. Looking over on androidforums, it isn't as simple as just rooting and moving the apps to the sd card. Here's a thread with someone who had the same issue. I'm fairly comfortable rooting around on my phone and even I got a headache reading that thread so that most likely isn't the trivial solution you're looking for.

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

Angel no one is making you out as dummy so get that thought of your head first.

I should have been a little more clear on posting on the boards. Your in the right section which is Samsung, but wrong sub-forum. For your phone would be in the the Precedent section. It is the sister phone for your phone type.

Re: Simple Root Program. NO ODIN required

everytime I search anywhere bout my phone it brings me back to here....

Did you format the card? This is typically not necessary these days; just sayin'
