Root How to root

I'm having issues rooting. I got the phone in USB Developer mode and on charing only. With drivers I presume are current... It detects the phone, reboots then nothing. no root :( no superuser..

[*] Device found.

After fiddling with the script.. I was able to get Root! :) for some reason when I removed the line "Adb restart" it was able to root perfectly.. it installed superuser and root explorer works in r/w mode :)
 
I've made a simple bash script for Linux users. Please let me know if it works for you. You'll need the adb binary for linux. (Rename it to adb-linux to match the script).

If you'd like, I can package everything up together.

Haha... You beat me to it. Awesome glad you did it. LOL

I packaged it up. Someone should check it and make sure I didn't mess up somewhere.

Can't Enable usb debugging in developer options (greyed out)
 
Ok so it says the exploit was successful, yet I get the errors listed in the attachment. Any ideas? Yes my drivers are up to date and yes adb is installed. And yes I ran the batch file from the unzipped folder.
Oh and when I attempt to install an apk requiring root it tells root can not be accessed.

I had that happen. That means it didn't root successfully. Disconnect the phone and reconnect and try again. It may take a couple shots to get it to work.

I had the same issue.. what I did was drop down to command prompt and goto the directory where the files are located and do the command one by one leaving out the "adb reboot" and I got it to work.. Experience may vary :)
