* daemon started successfully *
error: unknown host service
"[*] Triggering core dump..."
[1]   Segmentation fault      app_process /dev...
"[*] Rebooting phone. It may buzz a lot and loop on boot. Don't panic."

"[*] Installing Superuser.apk. If this hangs, just cancel it with Ctrl+C after a
 few seconds,"
"[*] and you'll be finished rooting your phone.  Reboot and enjoy."

Error: Could not access the Package Manager.  Is the system running?
"[*] Persistence complete, enjoy your rooted phone!"
Press any key to exit the script.
Press any key to continue . . .

I get an unknown host error.
Any ideas.
Running windows one click root
I installed Samsung drivers.
Downloaded and unpacked admire root
Ran the run file.
Then I get the error.
Yes, the phone is in debug mode.
Thanks for any help guys!

I got this error as well - but then i Installed SuperUser and everything is working fine. I have root access and can remove bloatware and tether the phone.

Download a root checker from the app store to see if you have root access. Thats what I did and it said I had it. Got Titanium Backup running on the phone right now with no issues.

Hi Guys, I'm a noob so I hope you'll bear with me. I ran the run.bat on y'day and it says the phone was rooted. I installed the superuser.apk today and it also says the phone is rooted. I still cannot delete the bloatware using Astro file manager, do I need to run the .bat file again or is there something else I haven't done correctly? Thanks in advance for all help.

It sounds like you are trying to root the phone on a Mac.

I tried rooting via a mac and i had problems. If you have a windows PC, use the windows version.. thats what I did and it rooted the phone no problem.

If my friend refused to let me root the phone on his PC, i was going to attempt to run the windows exploit via play on mac or another win32 emulator.... no idea if that would have worked or not.

I am so happy to have root. Thanks so much BUT I am having a big problem.

I rooted, and then I have tried multiple programs. However they claim I do not have busy box installed. I have attempted to install multiple versions of busybox and all have failed.

I have used root checker and it says it cannot find busybox, yet titanium backup claims I have 1.18.4-tiitanium. Something is wrong. No program that requires busybox will run.
