Im attempting to root my Galaxy S4 using saferoot as detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758&page=172

Android Version is 4.3
Build Version: VRUEMK2
Kernel Version 3.4.0


Here is the output I get:

Code: 
./install.sh
---           Samsung i545 VRUEMJ7 Root               ---
--- Based on the CVE-2013-6282 exploit by cubeundcube ---

Plug in your phone and press ENTER to continue ..../install.sh: 67: read: arg count

Watch your phone. If you see the "Allow USB debugging" prompt,
tap on the "Always allow from this computer" checkbox,
then tap OK.

If this script appears to be stuck at "Waiting for your phone to appear",
then you should try unplugging and re-plugging it to get the
permission prompt for USB debugging to appear.
If you've already done that, you should tap on the USB icon
in the notifications area that says "Connected as a media device".
On the "USB computer connection" page, switch between
"Camera" and "Media Device" to see if the device appears.

I set permissions to 777 for all files and subdirectories. files/adb.linux is where it should be.

Can anybody help?

He assumed you had pushed the saferoot files directly to your phone and attempted to run them on it.

If you are using an actual computer, then the problem is your shell/interpreter. Try running the script by opening a terminal, cd to the extracted directory, and then "bash install.sh".

Ah, that makes sense, thanks a ton. Maybe this is a noobish question, but why doesn't the install.sh file just contain the hashbang line at the beginning?

Tried running the install script with "bash install.sh", and it works a but better, but I'm still getting the same file not found error.

What do you get if you run, from the saferoot directory "files/adb.linux"?

It looks like the rest of the script is working now, so you might just try downloading adb from the sdk and replacing files/adb.linux with a symlink to it.
