One Click Root for SCH-R720

About

Welcome, Admirers! Without the headaches of the package blocking that got in the way on the Samsung Galaxy Indulge, the crew over at the #admire channel have successfully rooted your device. :)

Actually, @djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg, bliss in #admire) did. Almost all of the credit belongs to him - he discovered the exploit that gives us root, and wrote the Linux/Mac one-click script. Technical info on the exploit can be found here. Enjoy the fruits of his hard work!

How to Install

Your device must be in USB Debugging mode. To turn it on, go to Settings > Applications > Development and check the box.

Linux/Mac: Connect your device to your PC, unpack the archive, and run run.sh. You may need to chmod 755 run.sh.

Windows: Install the Samsung USB drivers (download), unpack the archive, and open run.bat.

I got the same error when I ran this on win7 laptop. All I did was download/install SuperUser from Android Market and everything works just as root should. Give it a try.

This script has worked for thousands. If you want to make it a bit easier for those learning, just modify script to push the superuser.apk onto the phone.

oh by the way you do not need to download superuser from the market you can use the one that comes with the one click root all you need to do is transfer it to your phones sd card and install it the version that comes with the exploit works fine on the admire
 
THis is a replacement phone w/sd card from old phone, I can't get root I keep getting this message. "adb not recognized as internal or external command. This repeats several times before the press any key prompt comes up. Pressing the key exits the command prompt window but am not rooted.

Never mind got it.
 
Just wanna say BIG UP's 2 everyone who was involed with the 1Click Root Movement. W
I wish y'all good fuirtune and great health... Peace.. B-)

The rooting has to be done through your cpu..spl chk messed up the file name you listed..LOL
Trying to root your phone correct:confused:
 
yes...so i need to install the zip file on the pc and run it?

Unpack it(unzip it) and run(open) the run.bat file if on windows with your phone plugged into the computer . Phone must be in usb debugging mode-settings..applications..development..usb debugging
 
:D

I voided my warranty! Do I care? No! Am I rooted? You bet!

The hardest part now will be what to replace the dreaded 'PowerOn.wav' with!
 
i rooted my android and deleted a system but made a back up but now when a try to restore it says it can install the app or my phone just reboots any help.. its starting to frustrate me because it wont work and it has no reason no to.

i also move the .apk and .odex file to the system and tried to install it that way but it say it cant install.
