I was hoping for some simple instructions.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have only had my samsung for a few days so I am a complete noob, but whats the advantage of rooting? Aren't these platforms pretty open already? I jailbroke my iphone because it was locked down tighter than a nun but don't understand why you would need to do it for an android phone. I am also in the market for wi-fi tethering as so far that's the only think this phone can't yet do that my iphone could.
@ phidelt82... I notice you are using the stock wireless modem feature on the phone. I would be interesting to see if us cellular charges you that extra $25-$30 a month for use of that feature. I have a work around if they do... I didn't really want to chance the extra charges, so I am using the wireless tether for root users that is in the market... Flawlessly. Look at my post on the main page to see. AndroidPhil's Mesmerize Thread. Anyway, let us know if you have any surprises on your bill. Hopefully not...
100% WRONG - Just ask a Verizon customer if they dare to use the built in "hot spot" feature on some of there phones.I won't have any surprises on my bill for two reasons. First, USCC isn't going to charge you for using an app that is on the phone from the factory.
I'm sure it is... Think you may be the only one on here who's phone bill is paid for by USCC. Therefore, why would you tell people that they won't be charged???I'm a field tech for USCC so my bill is quite a bit different than a regular customer's bill. Since mine is mainly for business use, it's subsidized.

Look... All I'm saying is... Built in wireless tether is 100000000% NOT A FREE SERVICE. So, don't pretend it is. And, just because your phone has a feature "built-in"... Doesn't mean it's "free"...user beware.
Ok I got a phone replacement today and I can't find z4root in the market now. It was there yesterday aaaahhhh someone help. The only one in there has crazy asian symbols
Z4Root Is One Click Root App For Samsung Galaxy S / Android Phones
I just did mine with instructions from this site.
Gave me a little scare it did as I installed and ran it, it seemed to have hung and thought the worst for a minute. Could not turn phone off so did a battery pull and it booted back fine.
Ran again and
I can now has RooT. (Sorry for the lolcat reference just seemed appropriate.)
Will be installing a BACKUP TOOL immediately and getting a image.. BRING ON THE ROMS ..
