I've been trying to root my Galaxy S 4g but failed every time... I went through all the appropriate threads evn the "Bible" but the oneclick rage against the cage will not work at all... Lost here...
Sorry, but you clearly didn't search enough. What you needed was on the first page of the development section.
Regardless, here's the stuff you need to root.

Select whichever kernel you prefer. KH2 is supposed to be the most stable. Flash that through CWM or Odin (CSC).
Also, check SamsungGalaxyS4GMods on YouTube if you need a visual guide.
I would imagine since he's trying to root, he's not already running gingerbread. I'm betting he's on KD1, in which case he needs this thread
If you're trying to modify a phone in from-tmobile condition (KD1), that's the guide you want to follow
Edit: Herp Derp.... Didn't see the part where he said SOC didn't work...
Try this
Here, try this version of SOC. Also, you're enabling USB Debugging on your device, have made sure you're using the samsung USB drivers, and have tried more than one USB cable, right?

Rooting Samsung Galaxy S 4G on Gingerbread 2.3.5
Hi All - Can somebody give me a step-by-step instructions to root a Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V running on Gingerbread 2.3.5 T959VUVKI1. I just read a article saying i can root it using dr.honks kernel mod but didn't understand the exact procedure to do it. Appreciate if someone can help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032
Not really related, but you should try using KI3 instead. People have reported more stability from it. Rooting is the same too.
Where's KI3

Just root it and flash serendipity or infused, or dlev, or any other gingerbread rom.

dude, get the drivers from the samsung site, get heimdall 1.1, get visual c++ redistrobutable package and get the comunity kernel.
extract the kernel .zip and find the zimage
install the drivers
open heimdall
put the zimage in the kernel slot
put the phone in download mode and connect to usb
hit the flash button in heimdall
pretty easy

To make things easier on yourself, you should really find a comp, google "Superoneclick Infuse" and it should pop up step by step install instructions. (download link included)
Still, with the root/flash options, I too would like the official release from AT&T...the wait is getting too long.
Question -I assume I'll need to reload apps if I flash a ROM, correct?
I'll just leave this here...

soc is short for superoneclick (or system on a chip or many other things but i was talking about superone click) anyway you need the newwest version of super one click to root android 2.3.3 and up. i believe it is version 2.2
i havent tried it but i hear it takes a while. you could also bypass that and flash a kernel with root through heimdall. it's a bit like odin but doesnt flsh .tar archives. it flashes the raw images (zimage for the kernel) so you have to extract the zimage out of a .zip file. you could also make your own odin package but that means you shoud be doing it in a terminal window(look up cygwin, or install linux or borrow a mac). though archive managers like win rar and 7zip can work i have had issues doing it in windows (as well as success but dont want to risk it)
Where does one find Heimdall?

[AT&T][2.3.6]Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install
I did the first step and sure enough it returned the phone to stock. I've been using Serendipity VII and thought I'd try this return to stock to see if my HDMI would work. It sure has the touch and feel of stock firmware, yet shows it's Android version 2.3.6 I mean it's got all the ATT bloatware, Samsung apps, the works. I go into settings and can't find TV out in the Display settings like Serendipity (could find the button but it didn't work) now that I'm "stock" I can't find the button! LOL
Where I am at this point is reading the stuff about getting root again as I have no superuser icon anymore.
Not sure if I should proceed to step two, looks to be fairly recent material...
Download Defuse 1.5"
Ok I did that but am reluctant to proceed after all the reading I did. I have a usuable handset still but the battery life sucks compared to S7 and still don't have HDMI, anyone have experience on what happens if you do the second step? It says you can get CWM and flash (I'm ready to flash back to Serendipity) but I don't see where it gives you root and I'm chicken to click it thru and try, been reading...
Hello?
Thanks.

Mine did the same thing using "auto" for exploits.
I then tried "psneuter". It warned me that it might not work on my FW version, then worked!
So what is supposed to work doesn't, and what is not supposed to work does, go figure.

Hello I'm new to this hand set, I've been helping a friend with it. He loves it and I was happy to show him the other side of android. But I'm use to HTC phones so this is a hole new ball park I used odin to root and to flash tweaked 2.0. He is on FP1 and he would like to try overclock and WiFi on his phone if someone can please point me in the right direction or explain how to go back a update to EP4 or somethin. To try other roms that would be great. Thank you all in advance for all the help.

I wouldn't flash back to ep4 if I were you... fp1 radios take a **** all over ep4. I suggest tweaked 2.1, best ROM for this phone... hands down... but, to get back to ep4, use Odin... download the.

There's no reason to downgrade to EP4...all the updated ROM's are based on FP1, and the PBJ kernel is updated to FP1. I don't understand the reasoning behind downgrading.
Stock FP1 is seriously better. I'd never go back ...
Ok. I understand the FP1 better then the others but will the custom kernel let him overclock and WiFi? Sorry guys I'm a noob with this phone I feel like a retart asking? But thank you again for all the help. I only was going back to EP4 or another previous update because I can't understand this one. Can someone point me to a cool Rom.

Make sure you have the battery in when you flash in Odin.
If you've taken the OTA to the FP1 version, then you already have the latest modems and don't an update for them. If not, we don't have a complete image of the FP1 modems. The easiest way to get them is to flash to stock EP4 and take the OTA. Failing that, there is a CWM compatible update that will flash you from EP4 to FP1 modems. I don't have the link handy, but I can try to dig it up for you if need it.
I did do the ota to fp1. To put it in download mode I power off pull battery connect to the data cable while holding down, wait for the download screen to appear then insert battery back in. I opened pda and found tweaked 2.1 with pbj kernel I click on it and it tried to start but then popped error on md5 mismatch.

Sent from my vivow using xda premium
Voltage Control is a free overclocking/undervolting app that works quite well with the PBJ kernel. I find running the smartassV2 governor makes the biggest difference in performance for me. Overclocking makes a small improvement in performance, and undervolting makes a small improvement in battery life. Some safe starting values to try for undervolting are 100/-100, 200/-100, 400/-75, 800/-50, 1000/-50, 1200/-25. Most processors can go lower voltages than that, but that's a good start.

Well s voice probably requires some of the sgs3 framework so it wouldn't work here. Also it is built on ics so it probably wouldn't work on gb. Finally to install a system app you can't use package installer. You just place the apk in /system/app.
