I hope this is ok to post here, if not please let me know. Has anyone had any recent success rooting their phone through SOC? I've used it in the past to root my SD4G using the guide, but for some reason every time I try now I make it to "waiting for device" and it stops responding. I've tried using the different versions of it, different USB cables, different computers, different driver downloads, and I'm stuck. I've searched high and low the past 4 days trying to find an answer that works for me from all the posts with the same problem, but haven't had any luck. Thanks in advance
i sure did now i use unlock root works perfectly

Ok so I recently tried to flash a rom, can't remember which one but it was CWM flashable. I followed the instructions to flash it to the t. Something went wrong and wouldn't let me restore my backup so I just wiped everything hoping that would clear the issue but it didn't. Now the phone WILL NOT boot. It is stuck on the Galaxy S 4G (exclusively from t-mobile) Splash screen and won't budge. Won't go to recovery mode, download mode (tried several ways), nothing...please give me advice. I tried making a jig but it didn't work...I think I may have gotten the wrong resistors though. Tutorials say 301kohm and i picked up a five pack of 100kohm and twisted three together, cut open and old usb cable, etc; and it won't work....please please please help. This is my gf's phone. Please don't tell me i have to send it in for repair. FYI I'm no noob, I've flashed plenty of roms to her phone and such before and never had this problem.
Look at raverx3x's how to debrick without a jig thread

If you are still in the Galaxy S/T mobile splash screen then you ARE IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
Find an Odin ROM in the SGS4G Bible to flash and you should be good. If you still have problems with setup connection it might be a problem with your drivers.
I had an issue with drivers before and just downloaded Kies Mini off of Samsungs website. Kies will install the drivers for your phone
Yeah I think that may be the problem cause I read in another post that you can flash with Odin from that screen but couldn't get the comp to recognize the phone. Downloading kies mini now. Hopefully it will work.
Thank you so much for your help. I can't believe I didn't realize the driver thing...its always the little things you forget that matter the most. Lol. Thanks a lot man. Now successfully flashed with odin and booted up.

From what I have read (and my experience) on our forum these few+ months is that our original stock usb cable is DEPENDABLE and that aftermarket ones can cause problems for people. Just saying.
Your fancy one might have been enough to get the job done. But our stock usb cable is Proven. If you have it use it. I can say this with certainty.
EDIT**
Unless yours is defective our broken of course.

Just root it and flash serendipity or infused, or dlev, or any other gingerbread rom.
It's very simple.

+1 All you need to root is a comp,usb cable and your phone, rooting is quite literally one click (superoneclick)...unless you use HDMI religiously, the roms here are awesome gingerbread goodness even if unofficial.

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...

Hey all. Ive been trying to root my samsung infuse for the past several hours with no success. I followed this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-02NrvxDZYA&feature=channel_video_title. When I run superoneclick i receive the waiting for device message at step #7.
So because SuperOneClick did not work i tried other methods. I tried this root method from DooMLoRD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
can also be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18615502
I copied the console text. Maybe it can help solve the problem. I've been looking to find a solution but have not found a fix, so I do apologize if its out there. Can you guys please offer some help. thank you
If you're running stock Froyo, SuperOneClick 1.9.1 will root it. Just make sure that you check the Debug mode box first.
Thanks. I tried it, but i still receive a waiting for device.
I.7 superoneclick will root it without fail....I use it EVERYTIME I go back to froyo

Am I missing something??? I tried superoneclick 1.7 and it still stopped responding and said waiting for device... ahhhhhhhhhh
I don't remember, since I haven't done this in a long while, but I believe you need to have the drivers installed first. Download samsung Kies. Then try it again.

Don't say z4root won't work, it never works unless you're on eclair. I'm saying you can't make a post simply stating something doesn't install on this forum, you gotta at least say "when I try to install it says 'application not installed'" or the like.
Like I said before, you shouldn't expect it to work anyways, so why make a post saying it won't work? Don't tell me how was I supposed to know that, because googling z4root will yield you some results from 2 or 3 years ago.
I also suggested you try unlock root and superoneclick, because the poster before you said to try superoneclick as well and my translation of your post was that you chose to ignore that suggestion.

Ick sorry I didn't mean to be rude the first time and I get pissed easily thanks to my hot head. Let's make up and forget I ever acted like an ass.
I did forget SoC and unlock root require drivers (Duh, it needs to connect to the computer :banghead: ) but either one should definitely work.

thanks for replaying
btw i was almost sure z4 wont work
cuz when i first bought my htc evo 3d
i started to search for easy ways to do and failed
so boom went to hard ways
and then i become an expert in evo 3d
first thing was hard to me l0l unlocking the bootloader hehe
then i moved on
it was hard as hell
and some times i get errors and stay hourse on google trying to figure out how to fix them
so then i started my channel to let the people know what i know
some day i flashed a kernal for cdma on a gsm phone
phone won,t boot and i kep trying and trying but i finaly i found and created a video about how to fix it(how to flash boot img)
And finaly guys i knew that easy ways are bad
they are easy cuz the don,t do well
Hard work always give results
easy ways don,t
every time you wan,t to post a question make sure to have full details
like we all do in xda(iam new)
paste your full details please :laugh:

I've been working on rooting my phone 4 a couple of days, thought I had accomplished all I needed and then realized that I was still s-off. my ultimate goal is to downgrade to froyo and then upgrade with unrEVOked to Jellybean. The biggest problem I have is that my windows pc is flipping out on me and all I have is a mac. I also have a newborn and can't even begin to try and figure out vmware or dualbooting or anything. My wife's already having a hard time with me trying 2 finish rooting my droid. I've spent hours reading everything I can (still very much a noob, don't understand terminal, c prompt, or flashing) and have probably been just really lucky getting to where I'm at. Other posts I've read are wither windows only, s-on, or not 2.3.5. Help, I'm desperate!! I really don't want 2 have 2 pay the guy on FB either. Any help at all is greatly appreciated since I know how valuable time is 4 everyone.
Thanks in advance!

Why do you want to lose S-Off? You should probably wait for some time until you can donate some time to this, distractions can be extremely annoying on OSes like Android.
Mostly because I've been having issues with a couple of apps not being able to work because of s-on. Maybe you're right though, I need to take some time with it. Got my Windows back up but it still doesn't help since my usb connection with my phone's not working. Tried multiple cables, renamed usb slot, downloaded most recent drivers, but nada.

If your USB slot(on the phone) is broken,you're pretty much screwed. Try posting in the evo 4g forums,they might help. And I don't understand what you mean by loading a cyanogenmod. Do you mean from the recovery?
