SDX-Developers Member kuroyoma has posted a very good link for - One Click Root And Unroot For Froyo Samsung Intercept from your Windows:

One Click Root And Unroot For Froyo Intercept For Windows (Updated)

This uses ADB, rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin exploit and su binary, and Busybox App.

Please read the above thread completely to understand and get answers for any questions that you have.


Easy Instructions:

Download the zip file from the above link to C:\ on your Windows PC

Unzip the file using Winzip or similar tool (Search on Google for Winzip downlaod)

It will extract in folder - InterceptFroyoRoot v0.2

Using Windows Explorer open C:\InterceptFroyoRoot v0.2 folder.

Do not click or double click on any of the .bat files yet.

Open all .sh files (one at a time in notepad ) and replace /dev/block/stl9 with /dev/block/stl5 and save .sh files. This is needed because to correct the mount path in Samsung Intercept is /dev/block/stl5 for /system.


To Root:


Turn on USB Debugging on your Samsung Intercept phone.
(Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging Check this option)

Connect your Samsung Intercept to USB port on your Windows PC.

From Windows Explorer, go to C:\InterceptFroyoRoot v0.2

double click on START_ROOT.bat

Wait and check the output on PC screen...


To Unroot:


Turn on USB Debugging on your Samsung Intercept phone.
(Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging Check this option)

Connect your Samsung Intercept to USB port on your Windows PC.

From Windows Explorer, go to C:\InterceptFroyoRoot v0.2

double click on START_UNROOT.bat

Wait and check the output on PC screen...

hello
therefore does this mean that the root for wireless tethering for 2.2 Virgin Mobile is possible?
Im just looking to make wifi tethering work
 
I keep getting a "error: device cannot be found" message. I think this is due to my lack of drivers. However, I cannot find any drivers online, and when I plug in my intercept, it does not install any drivers. What do I do?

I am not an intercept owner, but am poking around here trying to decide if I should start convincing my wife to let me root her intercept. However, I believe this link will get you to the driver you need to download if you are running windows:

Samsung

Go to that site on your computer and download it and follow instructions. That should get you past the error you mention above.

Edit: For a little added clarification, when you go to that site I link above, you still must click "software" a little more than halfway down the page. Then click on the little picture below the "file" column. That should start the download.

Edit2: I just saw your other thread mentioning you are having issues with the download of these drivers so I decided to try it myself. That is when I noticed that this driver is only for "Win XP/Vista." I have windows 7 so it did not work. I am assuming you have the same? Upon further reading there are a lot of people having this issue...some say it is the USB cord and others say the SD card. Do you have usb debugging on or off?
