How to root Samsung Galaxy 4g

Pretty simple root method.
1. Download SuperOneClick found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Once installed click rage option then Root.
The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. If you don't see it either upgrade or using just the root button should work.
If it is frozen at waiting for device you will need to install the samsung drivers found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
If all goes well you should be rooted. Pretty simple wasn't?
At this time ClockworkMod nor RecoveryManager work so please don't ask about them. When they get updated we will post it.

true, however that thread doesn't have the links needed to do the root in the OP, so actually this thread is better for those looking to root without the need to go searching throughout the thread.
also when i rooted my device there wasn't a "rage" option for me to choose. i just clicked on root and everything went fine.

They can delete my thread if they want, it's not that big of a deal.

INCORRECT!!!
I did not have to use rage against the cage, i just did default exploit in superoneclick and everything went perfectly!

I also don't know what this Rage option is. I did shell root for temp root and then perm root via the root button on SuperOneClick 1.6.5

The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. Will update main post.

Open super one click, make sure your phone is in debugging. Connect it to the computer. Select rageagainstthecage and click unroot.
It will unroot the phone.

I get an error message saying that it can't find the file specified. This is my first time rooting a phone and i have no idea what i am doing. I looked at the other thread and tried using the rage thing. Nothing is working.
I connected my phone via usb. Put it in mass storage, as opposed to Media Player or the Kies option.
Not sure where to even begin.

Dont put mass storage. Just leave it charging while having usb debugging.

Just tried that. Saying the same thing. I turn on debugging, connect the device via USB, open SuperOneClick, hit root, and it bring up the same thing.
Saying the system cannot find the file specified.
I just got the phone today and haven't done anything else to it, or added any apps to it or anything. Is there something i need to put on the phone or no?

all right thanks man ill try it out see if it works

yep, superoneclick works. i think you have to use the psneuter exploit though. i read somewhere the rageinthecage doesn't work

Does the infuse have a locked bootloader?

Actually RageInTheCage works fine. I used it to create a Root/Unlock pack that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Howto Root and Unlock Infuse 4g
Just unpack and run the shell script or batch file.

I used Superoneclick yesterday worked like a charm. Just make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed and its a cake walk.

does anyone have a link for the correct drivers? I can't seem to find them.

I think it pretty much does. You'd want to unroot your phone if needed to take it back to the retailer for whatever reason.

And its probably safe to assume to "unroot" has been found. The phone is brand new so that would explain a great deal of it! Keep up the great work!

[Q] How to root TB on version 1.13.605.7?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I updated my phone to the latest OTA fw that was just released by VZ, Software version says 1.13.605.7 and kernel is 2.6.32.21-gb05544a [email protected] #1 (whatever that is)
Andriod version is at 2.2.1 and I would love to be able to root my phone and install one of the gingerbread ROMs but have not seen any ways to do this...... please advise. Thanks!

Search here or Google it. Instructions everywhere. One piece of advice: stay away from the "one click" method. The best way isn't as easy if you are new, but read up and you'll learn.

Yea I've been searching and all I've found is for the previous software version, not the new OTA version....
I used to have a droid inc and it was super easy to root... without the need for ADB. It just seems like a PITA to setup ADB and risk bricking the phone... and I'm on win7 x64 to further complicate things. I'm not new to this but I just want to find a simple way to load a different ROM on my phone to get rid of the bloatware and to help save battery life.

Using adb is actually quite easy. And the whole process is less than an hour. I know its usually Google but this time youtube is your friend. Just look up how to set up adb and then you are just some copy and pastes away from a rooted thunderbolt.
As far as trying to root the new version, just backup and downgrade since the process wipes data anyway.

I'm on x64 win7 too. Just download HTC sync, install the drivers with it and quit the install before you install the app (drivers install first, then you are prompted to install sync). No easy button with this phone IMO, but if you take the time, its worth it. No risk on bricking it if you've done it before. Just cut and paste the commands and go slow. No unrevoked for this baby yet.

Well the phone never showed up in the device list in the GUI - it would only show up in the command line... I had to install the correct USB driver and rebooted several times... And be sure the phone is in charge only mode instead of disk drive mode... and make sure there are no devices that dont have the drivers installed in device manager.. After all that, i was able to follow the step by step guide linked above. Which took a while and there are many steps so be careful! when you do the "dd" command thats where you can really brick your phone. Good luck!
What problem are you having exactly?

before you did the OTA where you already rooted?
did you end up getting it rooted?

users only and they have already rooted,deodexed

Super one click no longer works on the G2X GB rom. The exploit was patched. Google purposely left the exploit in the Nexus One GB rom since it is a developer phone and they expect it to be rooted. Right now the only way is to flash CWM recovery with NVFlash and then install a pre-rooted rom.

I've been lurking for a while, and I saw others complaining about the camera after updating. Is there a pre-rooted rom with the LG camera on it, and where would I find it?

did u install the adb drivers also?

I rooted my g2x 2 days ago and I didn't have to install any roms. Just stock 2.3.3. rooted now. Then again, I'm a noob at this though. I installed your zip file and skipped all the command prompt stuff. I don't know what I could have messed up but I couldn't post of the dev forum because I'm a noob still.

I am totally lost. I rooted 2.2 and ran with Weapon. But now I have new g2x and cant handle the rooting process. Read everything I can and still I can't figure it out. I am going nuts with stock. It keeps eating by batter up. Help!!!!!!! I need it spoon fed.

All you have to do is install Clockworkmod with the One-Click Flasher (search for it) and then install my root zip in Clockworkmod (search for it also). It is very easy and simple to do.

I beg to differ. Ever since I got my 2.3.3 preloaded G2x from T-mobile, my computer does not even recognize a new APX device was connected. I've ran the procedure following step by step to the T several times, and it never pops any "S/W Upgrade" on my phone's screen anymore and does not show windows finding any new APX device. Can someone please tell me how I can make windows force install the APX driver without recognizing that the device is there? Is that even possible?

[Q] I need some Help Please!

UPDATE: I decided to get another phone through my insurance and received the same phone as of today (3-11-13) so thanks to everyone that helped me it was a greatly appreciated! Thank you very much next time I root I'll make sure to backup everything and pay really close to everything. Thank you all for helping.
Okay long story short my phone (Galaxy S 4G) is stuck on the screen where it shows a Phone, !, and a Computer. I did some research on the Internet and read something saying that this is an alternative Download Mode. Basically, what I am trying to do is Unroot my phone / revering back to stock, but did some dumb things to the point where I am stuck on this screen. I am currently using Odin to do all of this, but Odin doesn't recognize my phone for some odd reason because its been read before. So I did some research and read that I had to uninstall then reinstall some drivers then reboot my computer then do everything again. I did that, but Odin is still not recognizing my phone. I tried plugging my phone in all USB ports of my computer and its still not recognizing my phone. What do you think I should be doing? I definitely need some help and it would be greatly appreciated if any of you can help me.

Tried a different cable? Wiped data/factory reset?
It's in download mode, that's a good thing.
Which Odin version are you using? Samsung kies installed? You could try uninstalling kies/drivers & go heimdall one click.. search for lumin30's guide (it's sticked in forum). Mash thanks in his thread if it helps

Well, yes it's in Download mode, but the alternative one with the phone, !, and computer. Also I can't wipe/data factory reset unless theirs a way to get that if so let me know. The version of Odin I am using 1.7, so I tried v1.80 and the latest version which is 3.07. Yes, I have Kies installed with the drivers as well. I also looked into that heimdall one click, but there is too much stuff to do and download that my computer cant handle because it is really old so maybe if there is another way around this that would be helpful other than that I don't know what else to do.

Whatever you did that got it there... was perfect. If you had just flashed it once more when you got to that screen, your phone would have been working ever since.
Now? No clue what you've done with drivers and the like since back then. Try a one-click in a new USB port without installing any drivers?

Does the computer see the device and not Odin or do both see nothing (any beeps ?).
Are you doing the battery drop in while it's connected to the usb? Or booting it (into download mode) then plugging it into computer?
Which Rom are you trying to flash?
Windows should be able to do the one click. Which version (of Windows) are you using?

I know. Uninstall it then download fresh ones. Or just plug your phone in again and let it download new drivers.

Odin only recognizes your port only if you actually in the download mode; the one with the picture of the android robot and the word 'downloading.' Here is what you need to do:
1) open Odin program;
2) remove battery from your phone;
3) plug USB cable into computer and your phone;
4) press the up and down volume keys at the same time;
5) As you hold down the volume keys, put the battery back on the phone, and wait for about 3 seconds. You should be able to see the download robot. If it doesn't work, try it again.

Well, if you plan to root your new phone in future, you are going to run into this issue again. Backing up the data won't help you get out of this jam. My advice to you is to use your new phone as is; don't try to root or install customize roms <<<---that was a painful experience, but I've mastered the timing to the point it takes only one try now.
If you are a first timer, it is not easy to get into download mode. You have to do a couple of times to get a hang of it. It becomes an art form - just like getting into DFU mode on an iPhone for first time.

I'm wondering why no one told OP to use Heimdall One Click back to stock KJ6...

Its really not that difficult dude! Its scarier than it really is . Trust when we tell you. Its gonna be more time consuming than anything else bout 2 maybe 3 hours ...this includes downloading, deleting, re downloading, connecting, disconnecting, "If u can get Odin to open and running on your old computer.You should be able to get Java, Bhundvens 1 click ..and Or Gremlin remover".!!! Kies is only good if you want the Samsung drivers once you've got your phone back to full fledge stock. If you want to save the $130 its gonna cost you for a phone through (Assurion)that in reality isn't worth buying again your better off using that towards a New phone trust me bro I'm no dev and don't speak they're language Lol (I wish) I personally know from frustrating trial and error! Believe that u can do it and when you do it you'll be like wow that's it!!! Just try being more cautious homez.
