I'm using the "Saferoot: Root for VRUEMJ7, MK2, and Android 4.3" xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 root method detailed, and it is taking a VERY long time (IMO) to transfer the files to the phone. This is a Verizon SCH-i545 on MK2. Kies sees the phone just fine, so I'm not concerned about drivers at all. One oddity that the cmd window shows was two lines of "error: more than one device and emulator", but that is followed by "[*] Sending files to your device..." And it's been sitting there for 30+ minutes. How long should this take, anyway? I'd ask in the original thread, but I guess I haven't posted enough on XDA to be able to do that.
[Q] Trying to root, taking a LONG time

Enabled and allowed.
I'm hesitant to unplug the USB, just on the off chance that something really is happening here, and I hose up a file.

It's not messing with any system files that would brick your device if the transfer was interrupted. You would restart the root process and whatever was there would get overwritten if anything at all.

OK, that's good to know.
Wish there was some kind of visual indicator that something was happening. Though, maybe I just need to be more patient. 45 minutes instead of just 30, maybe.
OK, got it, finally. Apparently, all I needed was a computer reboot. Once i did that, the root access completed right away. Maybe 10 minutes, total?
Go to www.unlockroot.com download freeware of unlockroot application install it. Connect ur phone via USB bt before connecting make sure that USB debugging is "on" let the drivers install then follow the application rules and ur phone is rooted successfully & it doesnt take more than 5 min

Haven't tried the root method you linked... But I can say it really doesn't get any easier than SafeRoot. Plus any questions anyone has during that process K1mu will gladly help anyone.

Ew. Looks like another vroot/kingo root renaming. Still closed source, I assume.

That download should be very quick, less than a minute. If it takes longer, somethings hosed. Looks like you fixed it with the reboot.
Yep, reboot of the laptop, and all is well with the world again. Root access gained, and thus the ability to restore app data in the transfer from old to new phone via TitaniumBackup.
