I might need some! The last phone I had that was successfully rooted was a Samsung Admire.
Anyway, no problems until trying to flash TWRP. 'Waiting for device' is all I can get. Trying to figure out why will be the challenge!
edit: I've got TWRP flashed. I decided to risk using my Linux Mint machine to get me over the hump. The only things I can think of that may have hindered my progress on my W7 machine were the USB cable (maybe it didn't like it), or maybe not elevating my command prompt with admin privileges. Who knows...
I'm currently running a backup, and I will attempt to write down more Linux-specific instructions to post here after I get some sleep.
I'll be running the stock ROM (unless something doesn't behave the way it should).
