Rage against the cage seemed to hang on me too when I first rooted my sgs4g. I just stopped it after it ran for a while and switched to psneuter method. Psneuter worked for me--and quickly. Good luck.

Either options work, I've tried both ways and they work, not always the first run but it's all trial and error =)

My problem is "+++ LOG: write failed (errno=14)" and "df: /mnt/.lfs: Function not implemented" does all these errors means the script partially failed? My other error is in Root Check it says "ADB Shell Default User:
ADB shell setting for standard access, stored in default.prop, is configured as: shell (non root) user - ro.secure=1" besides a few other minor things. If you want i can post the root check log as well. I loved doomlord script. went smoothly except for those small minor bugs. Can that all be fixed or should i run SuperOneClick? Thanks for any help.

Do you have Superuser on your phone?

Yes superuser is there. Here's a Root Check log. As you can see there seems like a few errors including "ADB shell setting for standard access, stored in default.prop, is configured as: shell (non root) user - ro.secure=1" so i am trying to figure out if i need to rerun the batch file, try superoneclick or if its fine left alone. I have superuser cause i opened it. But its 3.06, i used Doomlord's root v4, which uses superuser 3.06 and busybox 1.18.4. SuperOneClick uses more recent one. Thats why im not sure if it's ok or not. Thanks for the response
Congratulations! You have root access!

You're good to go.

What about all those errors and the ro.secure=1? Do i have a lower access root or just normal to get errors? Cause i was thinking of trying superoneclick but if it seems fine i can leave it alone. Thanks for the very quick response.

What is your ultimate goal? Do you want a custom ROM or Kernel? If so, none of this matters as it will be overwritten when you flash.

I just wanted to be sure i got full root access, ATM i just want stock firmware with full root. But i did want to upgrade to a custom rom. Preferably CM9 if it ever shows up for the SGS4G. I have cyanogen on my tablet. Do you know if they will release that to this phone? Since i doubt samsung will ever release Ice Cream Sandwich for this. Thanks

CM7 will come first and we have some intelligent dedicated devs working on it for all of us. But our current custom ROM's are awesome and beat the hell out of stock I must say!

Silly, goose.
SOC cannot root UCLB3.
There is already rooter version and a working kernel by Entropy. look in the dev section
If you like stock uclb3, try vagabond
If you still cant get it to work then backup all your apps and data with titanium backup and restore with odin. Wich can be found in the development section and its GTGs ultimate unbrick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

by the time if anyone can help me to root my current UCLB3 i would really appreciate.
and yes i just want install Zeus v6 so please don't ask me to install other ROM/ Kernel.

Any idea?
Did you see this on that thread?
"KINDLY NOTE: LATEST .62 FW CANNOT BE ROOTED"
If you want to root, you must flash your phone with a rootable firmware. Anything post 62 are rootable. This tutorial explains how to downgrade and root your phone http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty/

I have managed to root my Xperia Ray ST18i while I had .62 version of gingerbread installed but it requires an unlocked bootloader.
mahmood.n if you are not concerned with your warranty and just want to root the phone then you can follow the previous link or search the Sony Support forum for a post titled:

[Q] Huawei m650 rooting / aka sprint express m650

Hello all,
If I have posted this in the wrong place please lmk and I will be happy to delete this thread and post a new one. My questions have to do with the Huawei M650. The actual model is the Sprint Express PCDM650KT. It was actually an Obama phone issued by i-wireless. This phone is a strange cat to say the least. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find any info. at all re: rooting and finally stumbled upon DooMLoRD's easy root in a post about the unpopular M650 by Jerdog. The phone did not even come with enough room on the hard drive to update the bloatware that came with the phone.
Here is the error message I get when trying to install DL''s easy root toolkit. Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Ryan C.
