So I have been trying to root my infuse for several weeks now and I have come up with the same two issues quite frequently now.
1. I get stuck right when it says waiting for device the first time, I plug in my phone and if I havent already tried rooting it, it will work, if not it says "failed automatic version check"
and if it passes that then...
2. It will get to step #6 where it will proceed to stall on the portion that says "getting mount path". It doesnt freeze just stalls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[How To] Root the Samsung Infuse 4G
Thanks but no thanks man it didnt work I had to manually root the phone myself.
I was able to root my Infuse using the ODIN method. It worked like a charm. Only thing is I'm running Windows 7 64-bit system so I had to get the Samsung driver installed beforehand.

Hello All,
I picked up a Samsung Galaxy S 4g yesterday and I have had the intention of rooting it and installing a custom Rom from the get go. Unfortunately I am having problems getting rooted.
I have tried to use the One Click Root, but without much luck. I get the update.zip installed and it reboots into recovery mode, but on 'reinstall packages' it fails with a signature warning. I supect this is because I have the 3e recovery. I have seen some suggestions for other methods but they seem to but somewhat old or unsupported. I would love to get some advice on this.
Details are as follows
Model: SGH-T959V
Firmware: 2.2.1
Basband: T959VUVKB5
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: Froyo.VUVKB5
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be very helpful.
*sigh* How many times are we going to see this?

I am not terribly sure what you mean by linking. I did actually read this thread along with a ton of others. It seems that it was successful for someone, thats great, but it wasn't for me.
I have followed the instructions, drivers are installed, sd card unmounted, usb debug mode etc. If there is something in that thread that is helpful please point it out. I would love to get this phone rooted.
Happened to me before with rage option on Super One Click Root, what I done was to unroot using same method and restart then use the first option on Super one click and not the rage one then reboot, everything is ok at present with no problem. Hope this help?
It can't hurt to try. I will give it a shot tonight.
Just for other folks I have confirmed that the z4root option does not work on this model. You get through acquiring shell, get a couple of random vibrations and then z4root fails with no root actually happening. There are a couple of other reports of the same result out.
I will try the option the post above suggests and I will see if there are some other approaches to try.

Just for posterity. One click root 1.7 works just fine as long as you are not trying to do it from a vmware vm.
I just got my infuse yesterday, i tried using the rage against the cage root program(infuserootunlock), but even after installing kies and my drivers. it still says error: device not found. But, i can adb to the device.. So, after trying that a couple times(none being successful). I decided to use superoneclick, which has now frozen pushing su-v2... Im hoping it will work, but i dont see anything happening on the phone...
What can i do to root? Can i push an update.zip? Ive had a captivate and it was reletively easy to do.

When you root the Infuse you will not see anything happening on the phone screen itself.
If you cannot root and all else fails, here is a way you can over come the problem: You can put your phone into "download" mode and flash this froyo 2.2.1 odin flash rom from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251&highlight=unbrick
I know your phone is NOT bricked but if you read all the information in the link above you will see that if all else fails and you cannot root, just follow the step by step guide in the link using Odin3 (tar file rom flasher).
After you flashed the phone you can simply use the superoneclick to root it.
I have done this several times already. After you root it and install Rom Manager you will be able to install/flash custom roms the zip file method which all the devs here use for their custom roms.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
I had that same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Tried bout everything I could think of even different usb port. It took alot of trial and error to be honest I dont even know what I did. Just that I finally got it to work. Both the one click and the unlook/root.
It took me 4 tries with super one click. I unplugged - remounted then unmounted SD card - switched USB ports and it finally took.

Alright so I've been on the computer for 2 straight days trying to root, I've downloaded drivers downloaded Google addons, when I try and update driver it says none are found yet I do everything correctly, also I flashed ClockWorkMod on but it can't find the SD card (maybe because it's not rooted?) Also I've tried using the superoneclick flash or whatever its called and gets stuck on waiting for device. I read that maybe CWM didn't work properly is because I installed it incorrectly, so when I go to reinstall using NVFlash it noe says USB device not found. I have flashed cyanogen on my hd2 with much ease but tthis is apparently rocket science, well anyways I need all the help I can get from you experts so PLEASE any advice or assistance is much appreciated. Thanks

Follow the link in my signature that says "rooted". Are those the instructions you followed? Or did you do something else? And yes, the superoneclick method no longer works. It generally worked on 2.2 devices, but after the 2.3 update, it rarely worked.

Yeah I followed a lot of rooted instructions and those are one of them, but it says can't mount SD card and even if it doesn't need the SD card it says installation aborted.
I don't know if you still need help, but I will try nonetheless. No matter what your phone came with, nv flash cwm 5020 then flash any rooted rom you want. You need to remove your battery then hold down both volume buttons, then plug your usb cord in. Your looking for new apex device in device manager. If you are successful, the next time you do this, you will see your device as a nvidia bootloader device in usb connections in device manager.

So, here's my story. I am trying to gain root access to my Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I see a lot of posts/replies of other people having success with SuperOneClick 2.2 using the zerg exploit but for some reason mine just hangs and doesn't go any further. To kind of backtrack, I was able to root my first Galaxy S II Skyrocket, but then I had charging issues so I exchanged it for a replacement. Now, the replacement will not root. And even with the first one I had a hard time gaining root. It took me several, several attempts to get it working. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Few things...
- Samsung Galaxy S II is currently on stock 2.3.5 with firmware UCKJ2
- USB debugging has been turned on
- Samsung USB drivers have been successfully installed on PC
- Using Windows XP
- Using SuperOneClick 2.2 with zerg exploit
- Tried uninstalling USB drivers and reinstalling
The status one the SuperOneClick is as follows...
Killing ADB server
Starting ADB server
Waiting for device...
That's it. Nothing else beyond that. And on the right hand side it indicates this...
It's keep stating that 'daemon not running... starting in now on port 5037' and it keeps looping and eventually does not move.
I've tried using different methods of rooting this such as Skyrocket-Easy-Root and Doom's EasyRoot 1.0 and the 'daemon not running... starting it now on port 5037' message occurs on those as well.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because the regular Samsung Galaxy S II and other devices go through just fine. I know it can be done because obviously other users are successful with root and I was too with my first Skyrocket.
The only advice that "I" can give you is to post in the correct forum. You'll likely get a much quicker response than posting in the development section. I'm sure there's someone over there willing to help you. Good luck my friend.

Use this method ..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
You use odin to flash cwm recovery tar......then flash the super user zip in cwm.....
The files needed and instructions are in that thread....read them carefully, and follow them exactly ....its really very easy
Try to do factory wipe again. I was having problem rooting after Odin. I did a factory wipe and www tried it and it worked.

Do THIS. I'm not sure why you were even trying all that other stuff, but this is the proper root and CWM installation method.
I tried rooting this phone with SuperOneClick, and it didn't work. So then I tried Kingo and it said it worked and I could use the phone right afterwards but I could not see the superuser icon, so I tried resetting it and from then on it's been flashing at the samsung screen. I have been trying to root the phone to unlock it as IMEI was all scrambled on the About Phone screen for some reason and none of the ATT codes would work. I really need to get info off of the phone.
The phone was upgraded via Kies to Gingerbread.
I've been trying to read about this a lot lately, but I am a novice and I am in over my head for my free time right now. In desperate thanks to any help.
**** Also, I have a second Infuse and I rooted it just fine with SuperOneClick and so I just don't know what the **** is wrong with this other phone....it would always get to the mounting stage and become unresponsive.
Also, I upgraded the other phone to gingerbread via keys update and now it won't root either. I guess I have to remove the upgrade? Not sure how to do that without root.
