Root Z4Root doesn't work on Sprint Galaxy Tab

I've been unable to go thru the rooting process, or even start it, and I"m sooo frustrated. I can't get a copy of SuperOneClick as the ShortFuse.org website keeps timing out and other sites I've tried are flagged by Firefox as dangerous. Of course, Z4Root doesn't work on my Sprint-branded unit. Is there another link at which I can get SuperOneClick? Thanks in advance for any help. This is a great forum full of wonderfully helpful folks. I've learned so much!

Another problem (I've begun do dispair of ever getting my Tab rooted :eek:):
Downloaded Kies (v 2.0.0.110.33_25.exe), installed, and ran it. Connected my tab. An error window opened: "Unsupported connection mode alert" which said "Reconnect the device using Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies'.

So, what do I need to do to get my Tab and Kies to talk to each other?

I have the Sprint Tab and a PC running Win 7.

Z4 root worked for me. Make sure USB debugging is turned on and do a full root. It may take a few tries.
