How to root Samsung Galaxy 4g

darkspadez · Feb 26, 2011

Pretty simple root method.

1. Download SuperOneClick found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

2. Once installed click rage option then Root.
The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. If you don't see it either upgrade or using just the root button should work.

If it is frozen at waiting for device you will need to install the samsung drivers found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

If all goes well you should be rooted. Pretty simple wasn't?

At this time ClockworkMod nor RecoveryManager work so please don't ask about them. When they get updated we will post it.

true, however that thread doesn't have the links needed to do the root in the OP, so actually this thread is better for those looking to root without the need to go searching throughout the thread.

also when i rooted my device there wasn't a "rage" option for me to choose. i just clicked on root and everything went fine.

They can delete my thread if they want, it's not that big of a deal.

INCORRECT!!!

I did not have to use rage against the cage, i just did default exploit in superoneclick and everything went perfectly!

I also don't know what this Rage option is. I did shell root for temp root and then perm root via the root button on SuperOneClick 1.6.5

The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. Will update main post.

This is the option i used as well. It did take a long time. Also did it on a macbook through parallels.

UnRoot Help

I am pretty sure that SuperOneClick has an unroot option.

Open super one click, make sure your phone is in debugging. Connect it to the computer. Select rageagainstthecage and click unroot.

It will unroot the phone.

I get an error message saying that it can't find the file specified. This is my first time rooting a phone and i have no idea what i am doing. I looked at the other thread and tried using the rage thing. Nothing is working.

I connected my phone via usb. Put it in mass storage, as opposed to Media Player or the Kies option.

Not sure where to even begin.

Eric-1987 · Jun 16, 2011

Dont put mass storage. Just leave it charging while having usb debugging.

Sherms24 · Jun 16, 2011

Just tried that. Saying the same thing. I turn on debugging, connect the device via USB, open SuperOneClick, hit root, and it bring up the same thing.

Saying the system cannot find the file specified.

I just got the phone today and haven't done anything else to it, or added any apps to it or anything. Is there something i need to put on the phone or no?

jzero805 · Jul 5, 2011

all right thanks man ill try it out see if it works
