i did some research and found the right stuff to root this phone
i do not take credit for this at all only for bringing it here to the forums for us here

1. Download the file below
2. extract to desktop
3. run the file that says "run" let it boot
(u may not have installed superuser during the rooting process so i recomend doing so manually by placing it on the root of the sd card and installing it from there)
4. download "Terminal Emulator" from the market
open
type "su" it will ask u to allow it
then type "reboot"


if ur phone reboots then u have root acess

I tried the steps above and when i type su it says permission denied, I dont know what iam doing wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated
 
You should just be able to select the desktop as the download location on your PC?

You'll then need a program like Winrar or Winzip to extract the files to your desktop.
 
So, just got my Transfix, grabbed this rootkit, got my phone hooked up, installed superuser, extracted the kit to my desktop, ran, run.bat...

and nothing.

printout:
error: unknown host service
"
[*] Triggering core dump..."
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
"Rebooting phone. It may buzz a lot and loop on boot. Don't panic."

And does nothing.
Tried it with USB storage both enabled and disabled. Also, compatibility mode for vista and xp did nothing.
no root wat do?


EDIT: You forgot to add the step to enable USB debugging mode through Settings::Applications::Development::USB DEbugging.

im having the same problem, i have super user installed along with terminal emulator. I have debugging on, and have tried running run.bat only to get the same message shown above. Still without root. What do i do now?
 
alight extract the first file that says run then open the file that was extracted then hit the one that says run then it should reboot your phone!
 
How is it that you run the "run" script from the phone? I've tried running the script from a terminal emulator with no success, and even opened the file in a text editor to see if my programming knowledge might help.

1. Download to Desktop
2. Move to SDCard
3. Install Superuser on root of SDCard
4. Run script how?

Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated for this noob.

P.S. When I try and open the run.bat file, I receive the following message: "File type bat not recognized"
 
NIXNAX You aren't using a Windows system are you? .bat is windows specific.
My problems were solved by downloading and installing the Transfix drivers (it took an extremely long time for them to install from my phone, there were about 5 more drivers when debugging is active)
Let it sit for a while and everything install, then run "run.bat" mine worked flawlessly after i waited for everything to install.
All of this needed to be done on windows. i tried Mac, and linux XD
 
I rooted but ran into some problems. I just took my time and tried a few things and it worked. This is what I did...

Pre-rooting steps.
1. Plug in your Samsung Transfix to your pc. Make sure drivers load.
2. Go to Settings>Applications>Development> and check USB Debugging

1. Download the file above
2. Extract to desktop or in the folder of your choice.
3. Run the file that says "run". It will load a screen and run through the process and reboot your phone. It said on my pc to enjoy my rooted phone.
4. Download "Superuser" from the market. Install and run.
5. Download "Terminal Emulator" from the market
open
type "su" it will ask u to allow it
then type "reboot" if it doesn't reboot, type it again. I had to do it twice for some reason. I think because of the $ and # signs....$ is normal and #is SU.

Should look like this
Code: 
$ export PATH=data/local/bin:$path
$_
After you type in SU it should show the # sign. This will let you know if you are rooted and have SU access.

I am a total newb to rooting(my first root) and with little troubleshooting and not the best guide in the world to follow off of I think it went pretty smooth.
Hope this helps.
 
now how do i get free apps and customize my phone the way i want it?


p.s. thanks to everyone, i used a little from each and got it

This may or may not help, but when I was rooting a different phone and kept running into this problem, it turned out that I had NOT selected the option to mount the phone as a "Disk Drive" in Android Settings on the phone. The option to charge only (as in charge the battery) was selected.

Once I went into Settings > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type _or_ selected the USB option in the notifications tray and changed from Charge to 'Disk Drive', I was able to get past this error.

One other possible source of problems: If you have a "Charge Only" cable that doesn't have the wiring to sync, you'll get the same type of error. Believe it or not, some cheap cables lack the wiring for data sync (mount as Disk Drive) but do charge... I know, I have one. So make sure that you use a USB Cable that is known to have the complete wiring for data...

Hope that helps someone...
