Too tell you the truth, I do not know what this error means, but I can tell you another rooting method that is meant for froyo operating systems. It is easier than the method you are currently attempting, and should get the job done. OK, go on Google and look up z4root. Make sure it is the newest version and download it. Install it on your phone, you may have to allow non,market apps in the settings menu. Open the app hit permanent root, wait a little while, your phone should reboot and you are officially rooted. If z4root freezes up, it is OK, this app can not brick your device because it is just a security exploit. Pull the battery and try again. I hope this works for ya.
The antivirus on your desktop might have deleted the actual exploit (psneuter). Try to keep your antivirus disabled while repeating all steps (starting from installing the application, since the previous install might have been corrupted by the antivirus).
Or, better, use the vulnerable recovery method.

Does anyone know how to get around this? I need to change the Location to Read-Write.. no clue how to though.
I joined these forums to learn how to root my admire, and so it seems its not possible yet?
Samsung admire root?
Does anyone have any idea how to root this or when a root will be made for this I can see it becoming a popular phone for the price and features. I can't wait for a root for this anyone have any idea how long it will take before one is released? For the price of the phone it is incredibly nice much nicer and faster than the optimus or huawei M835

To get into Recovery Mode:
1) Turn phone off.
2) Press and hold Back, Volume Down, and Power keys.
3) Continue holding all three keys until device powers on and recovery menu appears.
Navigate using volume up/down keys, and Home key for enter.
Took me a few minutes to figure out how to do it myself last night.
UPDATE: Tested the method you linked to, does NOT work.

I don't think there are kernals compatible with the samsung admire's kernal. There might be, but I'd rather not risk bricking my phone.
I have a feeling that we won't get root for a while, unless someone can find a developer somehow, seeing that all of these new 2.3.4 devices just getting root access.

One-click Root and Gingerbreak don't work.... at all!
So, to help you out here's what you need to do: Re-run Revolutionary!
The reason you THOUGHT the program had hung is because it was downloading the Clockwork Mod Recovery files in the background (you need to be patient).
Once that's done...
Download this ZIP file, and place it on the root of your SD card.
With your phone connected to your PC via USB cable (and command prompt open in the Platform-tools folder of the Android SDK) type "adb reboot recovery"
From recovery, you want to install the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file onto your phone (Install update from Zip, Choose Zip from sdcard).
Bingo.... rooted phone! Enjoy!
I waited for almost 10 minutes on this screen
This program has stopped working
And without doing all this can I install custom ROM sense 3.0 ?
Issue solved. Downloaded img zipped and flashed from hboot
thanks anyways

Confirming to many apps. Keeping Megatron Root from Working.
I upgraded my LG Thrill to Gingerbread 2.3.5, that went pretty well, and it worked perfectly.
My Problem came when I tried to Root the phone once again. I tried Superoneclick, it failed. Gingerbreak "Failed". Z4 "Failed".
Everything I found while searching the web pointed me to Megatron Root. A number of people had good luck and it worked perfectly. Then there were people like me who tried over and over to get the process to work, it continued to Fail as well.
Back to Google searching for more information, I found that many other people were also having the same issue. The Solution Return to Phone to Factory Preset, remove the fmradio, and finally that I had too many apps loaded on to my phone.
I believe that one of the apps loaded on my phone had a hand in blocking the Rooting process. Without knowing which one and with some frustration, I started uninstalling programs. Radios, Police Scanners, QR Readers, Graphics Programs, Skype, ES File, ES Task monitor, and my backup program. In all I got rid of about 20 programs, several which worked at root level. Which I also read could be the cause of the Megatron root Failing.
Once I removed all of the extra programs, plus programs working as Superuser, I ran Megatron again. Well it worked, this time when I ran the program it went through perfectly. No Errors, it performed just as the program was intended. The verified end result was that my LG Thrill 925P V20P Thrill was rooted once again.
My suggestion is to remove some of the programs that you installed. Networking, Picture editors, Scanning, file managers etc. Anything that might have a hand in controlling a input device, or a output device. I didn't worry about games, I even left on the Basic Root Check program.
Try this process, it worked for me, and I hope it will work for you too.

i got the same problem
After i got same problem, I solved with few simple steps :
- turn of device
-boot in recovery
-wipe everything
-restart phone
-now apply Megatron root without any problem.
in my case it didn't work because I had airplane mode on. SuperOneClick failed anyway (first time was caught by antivirus but after I disabled antivirus it failed just the same. Can't tell if antivirus deleted something from SuperOneClick as it sometimes quarantines stuff)
Megatron wrote evil.apk, rebooted, tried something (think it failed), rebooted again, did something else (said it failed the success), rebooted again, said exploit complete then iRoot who I had opened at the same time reported phone already rooted
