I am coming from the Galaxy S Vibrant and so far I am not impressed by the whole rooting process for the Skyrocket. I have tried on 3 different windows computers and every time it says it is unable to recognize device. I installed the drivers but I don't believe they were installed correctly. When I click root in super one click, the application stops responding.
I made sure to select debugging and when I connect the phone to the computer nothing prompts me on the phone. Is there something I am missing in order to get the Skyrocket recognized by Windows?

You need to be patient. the program stopped responding for nearly 5 minutes for me before it started going again and my PC is lightning fast.
Try installing Samsung kies. Should give you all the drivers you need.
If your computer doesn't recognize the phone at all then you most likely dont have the drivers installed correctly or a USB hub driver issue in which case no USB devices would work. Like I said, try installing kies. Once you can get the PC to recognize the phone as a storage device, you should be good to run the root program.

I tried Kies already and it didn't help. I can connect my Vibrant with no problem to my computer as well.

i had somewhat the same problem , I rooted my old vibrant first incase i screwed something up , no big loss , it went smooth as butter , then I hooked the SR up and it took forever , 3 try I unplugged alot of my other usb devices , restarted the pc and tried , it hung for a few minutes and I left it alone , it eventually worked the last time. I also have a pretty solid pc , running win7 64bit , unplugging alot of my usb devices seemed to be the thing that really helped.
hope that helps ya

rooting this device is easier then posting that on the forum =)
1) If you are still 2.3.5 (and didn't do the OTA upgrade) -> use doomlord's script (DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su) or newer if there is one:
-if you did do the OTA upgrade - search the forum for another way to root.
2) install KIES (if its installed, continue to 3)
3) extract the DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip to anywhere (maybe c:\doom )
4) open a command prompt (run as administrator if your not running windows XP)
5) goto c:\doom\files\
6) type "adb devices"
- if it finds your device - just run the script , it will root your phone
- if it does NOT find your device, troubleshot kies (uninstall it, reboot, reinstall, disable anti virus/firewall, etc etc) because if it can't find the device then the problem is someplace on your computer.
good luck!

ok, trying to install one-click root on my Epic, i have up-to-date drivers installed, USB debugging is checked, my computer gives me the option to mount and it reads my device. when I go to the run.bat command screen, I keep getting the message 'cannot locate device, unplug USB, re-plug and press enter.' when I do that I get 'aborting script, phone still not connected' message. can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me what I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to do a battery pull on the phone and try that. If that does not work, do a battery pull and reset your computer and see if that helps.
Not sure what OS you are running but the best thing is to do on Win XP.

Can you tell us the complete verbage of the error? I ran into a problem because I did not LITTERALLY UNZIP the rar file before running it. Kept saying the phone was not connected..but when I looked closer it was failing because the bat file was trying to run a piece of the program and for some reason it was failing on it. COMPLETELY AND LITTERALLY unzipped the rar to my computer and then ran it (making sure the phone was connected and in usb debug mode) and was rooted in a matter of minutes. hope this helped a little... good luck

Your computer gives you an option to mount? If you have ADB debug enabled you should see something pop up in your device manager, but I'm not so sure you should get any kind of mounting pop-up.
Make sure you have all of the correct drivers installed for your OS, and try it again running each command seperately from the batch file. Then post here which command is coming back unsuccsessful so I can pinpoint the problem better.

Look in your device manager on your pc while your phone is connected with usb debugging and make sure there is no question mark next to Android ADB device. It needs to recognize this driver for it to connect.
HI
Hi i had that same issue an i went to the samsung official website becaue my phone can't connect to my pc i couldn't see my sd card pop up so the guy say my phone was defective so im thinking you have the same issue as me but samsung is fixing my phone now for free an free shipping i hope you still have warranty on your epic an they flashing a new rom an software on it for me they say to fix gps an wifi issues i had too
Got it to work, it was a driver issue apparently. Downloaded drivers again, completely removed old drivers. Reboot PC, make sure phone isnt connected yet. After reboot, install drivers, reboot again. I also had my phone turned off this whole time. When PC came back up , turn phone back on, connect using one of the main USB ports, not one in the front or anything. You should see windows detect and install the software. Then I ran the all in one clockwork , and here I am now fully rooted, syndicate rom , so much better than stock...hope you get it working! I definitely almost gave up a few times

(I posted this in the guide to installing s-off etc etc but yeah I don't know if anyone's going to pay it any mind there :S If I was wrong to create this, I'm sorry ><)
Hi,
I keep getting a Communication interrupted error. I don't know if anyone else had this problem and can help me? I'm a n00b with this s-off thing and I triple checked with like 4 different websites to make sure I'm going the right way with this.
Doing this on Windows, I got the HTC driver, removed anything that would sync the phone to the computer, everything going well up until this point:
Zerging Root... this may take a minute or so..
Sending in Caroline...
Cleaning up...
Rebooting to fastboot...
Whien life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons
Waiting for fastboot...
Rebooting to fastboot (again)...
Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try Again.
Press (almost) any key to exit.
What's wrong with it?
also:
I put on the USB Debugging, I turned off Fastboot, and yes, I checked - it is still S-ON *sad*
HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid-1.17.0008, Android: 2.3.3, ROM version: 1.29.531.2)
I have tried with the fastboot on as well
As for these troubleshooting methods, I've been through it over and over:
Revolutionary Hanging on "Method 3"
1. Make sure you have installed all the drivers from above.
2. Please Make Sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled and Droid Explorer uninstalled.
3. Install These Drivers HERE:
4. Basically anything and everything that will allow your phone or other phones to automatically connect or sync to your computer has to be uninstalled
5. Try another Computer or Factory Reset your device as a last resort.
I've tried 3 different computers (I have no access to anyone who has a Linux computer) I've factory resetted my phone twice + my SD card. I really don't know what else to do
I've tried it in Charge Mode, and HTC sync mode as well.
Can anyone help me? :S
you have to do it in charge mode, make sure fast boot is off, and here is the tricky part, ANY app that could sync with the fone, needs to be uninstalled.
for me Zune kept messing with the install cuz it kept trying to sync...
Also, make sure your HBOOT is compatible with the version of revo you are using
so try this:
1) uninstall itunes (and other apple device software), zune, and any htc software (plus the stock drivers)
2) reboot
3) clean the registry (regclean or something similar)
4) reboot
5) reinstall stock drivers then plug in the phone (charge only) and let the pc detect the hardware.
6) unplug the fone and reboot the pc
7) NOW try to S-OFF, should work, this is the process i had to take
Thanks, i tried everything you told me and it still won't work. I'm running out of ideas. Isn't there another method I could go through so I can just flash a custom rom. Lol...
if its unbranded, you can try the HTC method, but im not a fan of their approach to it...revo is much more user friendly in the long run...
also have you tried disconnecting all usb devices other than the keyboard, mouse and phone? also try doing a battery pull and leave it out for 10-15 seconds, and give it another shot
also, what ver of revo u using? the latest? and whats your hboot?
EDIT nm, saw your hboot etc in your first post long night at work
also, this may be a super stab in the dark, try another cable if you have one, just try to eliminate any possible issue
This exactly what I had with my Win7 tappy lappy. Its the "sucky usb stack".

yeah, apparently win7 is giving different users this problem, i used WinXP SP2 32bit with no issues
Yup. Definitely related to Win7 64 bit version for me. Although the user didn't report what version they were using.
It's also worth remembering that all USB ports aren't all the same.
I have to use the ports on the front of this particular 32 bit XP workstation for some operations and the ports on the back for other. Magldr for my HD2 never works on the front.....
Like Rev say in their FAQ... there's something about the USB stack on windows that sucks. Not surprising really when we're talking about interop between such dissimilar operating systems (Android vs MS Win). Its gonna be a headache sometimes.
I'm on Win 7 32 bit, when I tested Revolutionary my device wasn't detected at all.
Rebooted many times, installed drivers and did lots of things and still nothing.
I changed USB port, and it worked xD
Try different USB ports and another USB Cable in-case
Gd luck
Edit: Just found out that you tried 3 different computers... Sorry then, if I come up with anything I'll tell you
Edit 2: Can't he try it on Safe Mode? Maybe it would help?
safe mose wont work, the usb stack works even less at that point :/ go windows!
worst case scenario, get a liveCD of ubuntu and boot it from BIOS, thats the easiest alternative to trying on windows

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

I was trying to install Cyanogen 7 and my first step was a one-click return to stock that seemed to complete fine.

Install default apk-files. please wait
Install default apk-files. finished
The phone is no longer recognized by windows even though I've tried several different versions of the Samsung drivers. (also tried different USB ports, different cables and different computers per my search results in here)
I can get into Download mode but the device is not recognized so its not recognized by any of the ODIN utilities to repair or restore...
Any idea what is going on - or more importantly what can I do to recover this thing?
Help?
Thanks!
First of all, I would try Heimdall One-Click instead of Odin. It's more reliable, and uses better drivers. Will it not reboot into Froyo? And which one-click package did you use?
I used the Heimdall One-Click and it seemed to complete okay. Trouble started when I rebooted. I can't seem to redo it because the the One click utilities don't recognize the phone as connected.
I always get the Windows message "USB Device is not recognized" and when I go into my Device Manager the phone is listed as an "Unknown Device"
I would strongly advise against flashing back to froyo or eclair as the bootloaders are out dated.. As.for.your phone not being recognized it could be a number of issues from anywhere to ypur pc.needs a reboot to your usb cable is bad. I once had the same issue and i reinstalled the samsung drivers a few times with no reults. Believe it or not what fixed my problem was a fresh install of kies (a program i never use)

Try rebooting the computer. Use a USB port in the back of the computer. Try a different cable. Open Odin before connecting phone to computer.

<smack> good job Judy.
Edit:
This problem has been solved. For any of you that are having issues with ADB recognizing your phone, even after you have uninstalled and reinstalled the correct drivers (As I had done several times on 2 computers), a factory reset might be your answer. So, if you are on ICS leak, and the last thing you want to do is try to FXZ back to 2.3.6...Try wiping data/factory reset first. It solved my problem once and for all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, I must say that I have already found similar threads of this type, and some even with solutions, but I still cannot fix this problem.
I am on ICS Leak on my AT&T Atrix 2 and everything is running great, aside from one thing. I cannot get my computer to recognize my device. When I plug it in, it will charge, but I get no USB options in my notification bar on my phone. I have tried other solutions, and I have installed the necessary drivers, (Windows 7), I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and rebooted with no luck. If anyone could help me, that would be great! Let me know if any more details are needed...
Recognition problem solved. Root script still hanging at *daemon started successfully*
Debugging is on, Stay awake on, Install from unknown sources on, drivers installed, what else could be the problem?
I had to uninstall drivers and all moto services. Then plug in phone let it look for install drivers. It failed on one of them. I then installed the moto portal disconnected my phone, rebooted computer and phone, plugged it back in and it worked. Good luck.

adb devices command showing your device? If so, try again.. and wait, like drgravy said.
Or do what leif said and switch between the 3 different usb connection types and wait for the drivers to install.. and try putting it in mtp or ptp mode to run the root batch file..

Sorry about the new thread. Blame it on the n00b status. I have rooted with this method before on the same model phone with ICS leak and it worked after a few unsuccessful tries. It usually shows some activity in the command prompt, but this time it is hanging at *daemon started successfully*

I've tried in every connection mode, and I have the drivers installed. I've been trying every way possible. Also, for simplicity sake, could you tell me how to use the adb devices command? I'm tech savvy but pretty green to the development/programming side of things.

Also, once i uninstall Motorola Device Manager, do I have to manually uninstall more drivers, or does that get them all? If not, how do I manually uninstall the drivers?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29609879
I was having the exact same issue where it was hanging at daemon started successfully. Was totally a driver issue. Follow the link in my link...
I would suggest completely uninstalling everything Moto from your PC, rebooting and then follow the steps again, being sure to install those new drivers that are linked in that post.
Edit: I'm trying to remember when I did it....but I seem to recall having a bit of weirdness when I installed the new drivers. I had the install driver wizard pop up while I was installing the drivers from the moto driver executable. I just let the wizard sit there and wait while the moto driver installer did its thing.
So, instead of uninstalling all that is Moto on my laptop, I moved the Moto Device Driver executable and the batch files (with Su and Superuser.apk and all the extras to my desktop. Ran the moto executable and plugged my phone in to install the drivers and rebooted the computer. Still nothing. Do i need adb on my desktop to root my phone? I'm getting flustered with this. It really should be working one way or the other....

I tried and tried to reinstall the drivers, and even installing them on a different PC didn't work. Finally, I did a factory reset, and the phone was recognized by ADB. Thankfully, I am now rooted and on SCv7!! (Thanks to Jimbridgman, Ikrasner, and a couple other devs.) Thank you all.
