Well, out of paranoia I ran the individual commands by hand. It assumes you have your drivers installed (Samsung Kies), running in USB debug mode, and so forth. Since mostly I did a cut and paste of the commands I'd think they should work tho ... others used the method.
Where did it give you the error?

If you cd to the unzipped folder "files", is there an adb.exe? What happens if you cd into that directory from a DOS prompt and type
Code:
.\adb.exe shell
$ exit
C:\Development\Galaxy S II Skyrocket\root
If you just get a "$ " prompt, it worked correctly. Type exit to get you back to DOS.
(If you aren't running it from a DOS prompt, cd into the directory where you unzipped it and run the file from there.)
Okay i d/l the file and unzipped it, ran the bat file and i did everything in the on screen instructions, i get "waiting for device" then *daemon not running. starting it now*, *daemon started successfully* and thats is...have been waiting for more then 5 mins and nothing else happens...i did not install any adb drivers for the skyrocket...help please...need root badly...thanks in advanced

if you put the device in debugging mode and plug into the comp without the bat file running the comp should pull the drivers from the web for you. you should do this first.....when it says the device is ready to use, run the .bat file and it should start saying things like sending zerlings......and sleeping and sending more zerlings which will cause a crash and let it run the scripts it needs to root your phone.
sounds like you just need to get your drivers loaded up bruh

It's got the best of both worlds! Stock AT&T ROM for good sound quality, but it's also rooted!
But does rooting the stock rom enable hsupa upload speeds? If not, we need s combo rom with a desire and am inspire, sound issue fixed, hsupa enabled.
Is this perma-root? If so how did you do it or can you provide a cwm zip file?

If he simply roots the stock AT&T ROM, it still will not have the Settings Checkbox for allowing non-market apps to be installed, thus he must still use a sideloading app or use "adb install".

This.
The problem is, the way I rooted, ro.secure is still set to 1 (adb sees the phone as a non-rooted phone) which means I can't use "adb remount".
If I could use adb remount, it's a really simple script to update the settings.db file to allow for sideloading

Couldnt you use the method described here to do the "temproot" in order to get the adb root prompt and change it that way?
I also meant to ask if this has wifi tether enabled. I'm assuming it doesn't.

First off thank you for the easy root But now I have an issue, the SD card wont work, looks like it wont find the extension anyone know how to fix this? Ive used many different card and none read but I know all work. Without this I cant do a ROM
Try reformatting the card? Did they work before you rooted? do they work again if you unroot?
They worked before the root, I didn't unroot yet. When you out then in the phone and go to the SD card setting it shows nothing. Just says unavailable. So I can't even format it on the phone. I've formatted them in many ways on the pc too
HTC EVO = my best friend
did you try pulling out the sdcard and putting it back in? does it show a blank sdcard, or no sdcard at all?

What will this do?This will root your One X, install Busybox, and install the SuperSU application for rights management.Instructions
Download and install the HTC mobile phone drivers. [Windows]
Download the mod edit: link removed
Extract root.zip into a directory on your computer.
Plug your HTC One X into your computer via USB. Recommended: Plug your device’s USB cable into the back of your computer if you’re using a desktop PC.
Enable USB Debugging on your HTC One X. Settings >> Developer Options >>USB debugging (checked)
Double click root.bat/root-linux.sh/root-mac.sh to run the script.
Congratulations! Your device will reboot a number of times and then you will have full root access.
Who do I thank?Don't thank me. Thank sparkym3 for this exploit. Thank crisis187 for testing it out first! Thanks viperboy for the primetime tool!Linux/Mac untested. Should be working now. Let me know if there are problems.
Thanks Kpenn!
You are a gentleman and a scholar
Inside root.zip there's only "root.img"
Now it should work. File host problem. My bad guys!
Restored with my retail RUU and ran this, worked perfectly!
Tips:
-Disable HTC Sync when you do this
-Make sure the port is open
-kill existing ADB.exe processes
otherwise you can get adb server out of date messages and a few other errors
If your adb is giving errors try to disable firewall - that happened to me
So this method is anonymous? As in htc wouldnt know?
Can anyone confirm this is a working root for at&t X ?

Kingo Android Root is a well-designed, aesthetically pleasing application for Windows based computers that forgoes the device specific route, and offers rooting for a lot of Android devices from a variety of manufacturers. Supported phones include the likes of Google Nexus lineup, several HTC devices including HTC One, One X, One V, Droid Eris, Motorola Defy, a number of Samsung phones, popular LG devices and some smartphones from Sony. It offers a true one-click root experience, where you have to just download the application, install it, connect your device and click Root.
There are a few things that you need to be mindful of. When connecting your device, you need to have USB Debugging enabled in Android settings. There’s no requirement for pre-installed device drivers, as the software will take care of that for you. In fact, it will give you the Root option only after the drivers have been properly configured. Past that, all you have to do is hit the Root button, and let the application work its magic.
The app pushes SuperSU binaries which are slightly outdated, but get instantly updated to the new version thanks to Google Play. However, it won’t install a custom recovery, so that part you’ll have to take care of manually. Kingo Android Root supports Android versions up to 4.3.

How to Use the Kingo Android Root One-Click Tool
Step 1. Download the Kingo Android Root windows application and install it on your Windows desktop.
Step 2. Once the installation is finished, run the application and connect the device to the computer with USB cable to start the process. Now the application will install the latest drivers on your PC.
Step 3. This will take some time to install the drivers. Once the drivers are installed on your PC, you will see a new screen on your desktop with your device name and "ROOT" button. See the screenshot below:
Step 4. Hit the ROOT Button from the app screen to begin the root process on your device.
Step 5. Be patient. It will take some time to finish the process. Once the operation is completed, you will see the “Root Succeeded” message on your screen.
Your device should now be rooted. With the help of this application you can unroot your device as well. All you have to do is select the Unroot button and follow the onscreen instructions. For more help, check the application FAQ section Mod Edit here too..

Everything is taking forever.. It's still Connecting from when it told me to Grant Super User permissions when the screen pops up on my phone. Any ideas why?

It's unclear what was causing the slowness, but after a while it finally all went through and my phone is now rooted. Thanks!
I did have to restart the App several times while it was downloading the update. That also seemed to be going very slowly. My download speeds wouldn't go above 100kb/s (consistently) and after a while the download will stop at a certain percentage. I would then have to restart the app, and then it would continue from the percentage but then stop at another percentage.
I have 25+ MBps connection, so I don't think it was my internet. It could have been the laptop though for slowness on both ends, downloading and communicating with the phone. I would have to look into it further though.
Anyways, thanks for responding to me!
Did you use any other devices via USB port? I know when I did mine I had to delete my USB drivers that way it would go faster and not unmount my gs4 all the time.
