yesterday I Tried for 4 hours to Root my Samsung Precedent from Straight with one click I was using Windows 7 64 bit comp. to run one click and had no luck at all. Today I tried with my mother's laptop it has 32 bit vista. I restarted my phone and waited till the model number came on the screen and then ran one click as administrator 15 to 20 seconds I had rooted my phone

Thank you, been working all night, ran this program once, now rooted, 1:45AM time for bed. I will start removing some of the crap off the phone that I will never use to free up some memory. Thanks again :-)

I dont have your phone but here are things you can try safely.
  1. Turn anti virus off.
  2. Make sure you have USB debugging checked.
  3. Have you installed the Samsung Drivers?
  4. Try a different USB cable.
Good Luck...

Hey thats great news. Its tough to have a phone down for a few days. Happy Routing!:)
 
I figured out the problem. The KillingMeSoftly file in version 4.0 is corrupt.
I sat down, stocked my phone, then steped through the batch file manually and here is what I found:

$ ./KillingMeSoftly
./KillingMeSoftly

notice that after running KMS, the prompt remains a "$"

whereas, with an older version of OCR:

KMS completed and restarted ADB on the phone's side. When reconnecting, we get the fabulous "#" root prompt. Everything works from there on out when done manually. The PrevailToxistence.bat still fails though, but that's an easy fix as well. I added "adb.exe wait-for-device" right after the reboot line that is between setting the permissions for KillingMeSoftly and executing the command. When executing the commands manually, I didn't need to reboot there, so it may be ok to omit it, but without the wait, ADB throws a device not found error for me.

I hope this helps
 
Windows 7, 64bit


Ok, here is what I did.
* I downloaded and installed the prevail drivers
* I downloaded one click root (KMS) and shabbymod.
* I unziped KMS to its own directory.
* I renamed KillingMeSoftly
* I opened the shabbymod zip and placed the KillingMeSoftly in KMS with the one from ShabbyMod
* I edited the PrevailToExistance.bat file
* I added the line "adb.exe wait-for-device" after
adb.exe shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/KillingMeSoftly
adb.exe reboot
* I replaced the line "adb.exe -d shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system" with
adb.exe shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system

apparently the -d might cause problems, atleast on Win7 64bit because it apparently wants
there to be no other USB devices plugged in.Did not test without it though so can't be sure,
all I know is this worked

* I used the menu system to to activate the USB debug mode
* I used the menu system on the phone to eject my MicroSDCard and then physicly removed it.
* I switched to airplane mode
* I shut down every program I could on my PC except the screens I was using to do this, and
disabled my firewall, antivirus, etc etc, including taskbar items
* I shut the phone down and started it up again.

In my case, I was working though the script by copy/pasting the lines into a Dos Window that
was in the KMS directory instead of running the script, but the script has every line I
used, just the way I used it

* In your case, run the script.

One problem seems that KillingMeSoftly that comes with one click root (KMS) has extra
whitespace in it vs the shabbymod version. While KillingMeSoftly shows it succeded,
the line remounting things,
"adb.exe -d shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system" would come back
saying I couldn't use the mount command. This went away with just replaceing
killingmesoftly.

Oh, I should also say I got the info from a variety of sources. The instructions in the first post of the thread and two posts Koumajutsu provided, the one above and another one.
 
Hi im new to this whole rooting thing and before i screw up my phone i was hoping to talk to somebody that is knowledgeable in this area. I believe my windows 7 is 64 bit. my prevail is through boost mobile. if i could facebook someone or something that would be awesome!
 
I couldn't make root work until I followed the file modification instructions in TNightshade's post above. I've attached a new KMS folder zipped up with the files already modified to work on the newer Prevail.

When I tried before (like 20 times), nothing would make it root the phone. The attached version worked the first time for me.

I just bought my Prevail about 2-3 weeks ago, perhaps why root was being stubborn.

Thanks to all for sharing.

[edit] Forgot to mention I'm using Windows 7 (x64).

Why didn't I started from here? it would have saved me 3 hours of frustration, the "-d " did the trick for me, thanks TNightshade. Awesome work all of you.
 
Just to confirm, after reading 471 posts, this method will root the Samsung Precedent just like the Prevail, right?

And am I better off with odin vs one click?

Thanks,

G

This edited system worked on the first shot. Thank you.
