given the fact that all the other galaxy phones are rooted, whats your opinion on this one?
think it will take long?
i tether, so its a must for me
it will b rooted the very same day it comes out. All the galaxy phones require is I think just a root kernel and done.

any updates on this topic? very eager to see a rooting solution for this beauty.
i believe all galaxy s phones have the same rooting process like stated above, they the easiest phones to root.
my friend she has the fascinate and has had it since June. her brother works for verizon and gave her that phone cuz its a test version. it is the samsung galaxy s SCH-i500 (verizon fascinate). is there anything i can do to help the situation? i would like to root her phone for her but would need the ground work. any help would be appreciated...thanks!

There is an app for the gsm versions but the app did NOT mention the epic or fascinate, unless there was an update I misses out on but check out ny friends captivate quadrant score after the lag fix, we did it three time just to double check, though linpack was pretty much the same

We are supposed to get about 15 fascinates at the store I work at and my boss said I could have one to try to root and mod but if I break it I buy it lol but if I get it rooted I'll post how and pics of it working and all that jazz

press the home key 3 or 4 times to bypass activation screen...
Pressing home did not work, we just simply activated it then cleared it out, but no word on root, it was 2.1 and it has a task manager app built in and it says it only has 325 mb of RAM but some ppl say that the other 187 mb of RAM is for graphics

The one click root app might work, I'm too scarred to try it cuz its not my phone

all galaxy s has 512mb of ram but the OS cannot recognize all of the 512mb UNTIL froyo update
I'm sure you all know this but its highly likely that when 2.2 comes to the fascinate that the root hack won't work. So if you're already on the fence about rooting decide quick, personally I love root but some ppl don't use the benefits of root

My wife has a Atrix 4g that i have to send back to att. She is not into flashing roms, etc but i am so i know what I'm doing just not with this phone. I'm wanting to root it, tbu all her apps and then unroot it to send it back. Is their such a tool for this phone? I've searched the threads and did not find anything. I do not want to have to flash sbf files. I have a one click root and unroot tool for my Atrix 2 but I'm sceptical of using it on her phone. She is on the 2.3.6 update- 4.5.141. If someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Bump.

There is a file that enables one click root/unlock.
But to get back to full stock and locked you would have to use the sbf's.
Ya i seen that. I don't think I'm going to find what i am looking for. Iv read about this phone all morning and the phone itself is a hell of a lot different than my A2. She doesn't care for a rooted phone so I'm just going make her reinstall all her apps and data herself. Thanks for the help though.

If that's even available.. haha
I'm a bit of a noob I suppose. I have no pc and want to get root access by flashing cmw in stock recovery. But I get signature verification error. Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks

You need a computer the first time you root your device. There's no way around it.
I did it on the s2 first time.
Ah well. Guess il have to wait...

Can't you use a friend's PC ?
It's somehow hard to imagine that you got a 600$ smartphone but have no access to a device running Windows, Linux or MacOs and which got a USB-Host.
Note that PC doesn't have to equal Windows, even tough it makes life easier.
The screen on my laptop is smashed.

So, I've rooted my SGS3 using the excellent toolkit, and installed CWM Touch recovery. However, when the newest OTA update appeared, I decided in my wisdom to install it, and reflashed the Stock recovery and then the update. All seemed fine, until I realised that my root was gone. In hindsight, I kind of knew this would happen, but a sleepless night must have clouded my judgement.
My question: is it possible to re-root the phone with the toolkit, or any other method? I think I remember seeing somewhere that this is not recommended, but wanted to see if anyone has any tips.
Thanks,
Erik N

Where you get the info that is not recommended to reroot after OTA updates?
Just root it again using cf-root.

Normal for users to root again.

Thank you both, I'll try re-rooting. I'm not sure where I saw that advice, pretty sure it wasn't in this forum, though. XDA trumps rumours any day!

Check the supported device list in that app. Last I checked our note isn't supported yet.
