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!

Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!

And when I tried to use GingerBreak, the program just freezed after complaining that I do not have /usr/local/tmp/boomsh and sh.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Go here. It's for windows and Mac http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340710 no it is not locked its closed. and here is what it says. linux users i know youve got it handled but for you mac users that dont understand how to do anything more then dump money in apples pockets there is a readme in there
DOWNLOAD http://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/st...-Easy-Root.zip. download the zip there's a readme in there. Did u follow the instructions exactly as directed in the readme?

I am having the same issue as the OP on my Mac. Help please?

Have you found a way for this root method to work.
I am having the exact same results. It appears that everything went correctly, but there is no Superuser app on my phone after it reboots, and the phone is not actually rooted.
---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------
I wanted to post a follow up.
I ended up using the instructions from 2b from here on my linux box.
It worked perfectly.

I personally just used the latest version of Parallels and used SuperOneClick to root. No issues what-so-ever.

Same problem here on my mac. OSX 10.7. About to try my other USB port and if that doesn't work I dunno what to do.

Hi Everyone,
I was having the exact same issues as everyone else, so I decided to look inside the Linux-Mac.sh shell script.
Turns out the problem was that after the zergrush, it wasn't actually waiting for your device to reconnect before trying to remount the filesystem.
I modified the script by adding the following line:
Code:
$adb wait-for-device
It goes right after the "wait for phone to reconnect" message, and right before the "$adb remount" so that in the script it looks something like:
Code:
echo "Wait for phone to reconnect..."
$adb wait-for-device
$adb remount
Worked fine for me, although I take no responsibility for it.

This also worked like a charm for me. Took less the 2 min. Already hit the thanks button already.

HELP. Stuck with to stock rom

Hello everyone,I am new to flashing and stuff.
I am trying to install a custom rom. So I unlocked my bootloaded by htcdev.
it's Hboot 1.09.0099 now.
I'm following this Tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538035
so then I tried UnLockroot,It failed rooting. I read on their dev website, it may be due to firmware differences.
then I tried HTC Supertool v3
Here's the log

[Q] Rooting my android device.

Hey, so I got my first android phone the other day. On the box it's called a; "Telstra Encore".
So I want to root it, and I have no clue how as I'm new to the android system.
Here are my phone's settings;
