Interesting. Someone more qualified can answer this, but I think there is some way to do it.

You should try the one click root method. It worked for me and now I am looking at Settings ---> About phone ---> Baseband xEE14 and I am good; rooted with ShabbyMod 0.9 beta as the build number.

I just can't tell you HOW to do this. I am sure it has something to do with ClockWorkMod, tho. You might have a newer phone where you have to "downgrade" in order to "upgrade."

Do this:
1. Try one click root (again).
If not
2. Use this Windows prog called Odin to pound in an old image to your phone; before the revision.

hroark13's Galaxy Prevail one came highly recommended. I am a total noob here but this is possible.

Bump.
 
Thanks hroark13 I did as instructed and pretty sure i am rooted now but i have a few questions like i installed busy box but what is it? I thought it was like a installer like cydia on the iphone but i dont think it is now? Is there a cydia like program on the android?

busybox executes some linux commands and apps

if you have the super user icon in you apps list you should be rooted
