This is a single consolidated posting from my other thread. It has programs and scripts written by others, information provided by others, and solutions I have developed and/or discovered myself.
If you feel like you are far from a novice and believe you already have the proper files or are going to skim to the main parts, the main rooting process will start with So here we go: so you can easily spot it and skip straight to it.
Here it is: WORKING dl09 one click rooting method
The original problem: Our phones take longer to boot up from a restart than they did before; from either (some say) dl09 and/or from apps and mods we have installed.
The solution: Adjusting the amount of pause in the script of the one click root.
The process:
Step 1: Download the one click root software
Right click on the .zip file and extract it to a new folder
Step 2: Set your phone into USB Debugging mode
Step 3: Rooting your phone
Now we actually run the program. I want to point out that I have had numerous others say they had the exact same experience that I did, but a few have told me they didn't. So the steps that I am about to tell you maybe overkill (meaning unnecessary) for some, but regardless, they won't hurt anything if you didn't need to do them otherwise.
So here we go:
And voila... Your OTA dl09 SF is now once again, or for some for the first time, ROOTED with the easiest possible method!!!
A huge thanks goes out to everyone who contributed with information, coding, and sharing knowledge to allow us to hack our phones so easily. The only thing I did was seek out the know how from countless sources, compile, and share the solutions I discovered on my own using other people's software and knowledge. So if you want to thank me for that, please click a thanks for me, but I by no means take credit for anyone else's hardwork.

Here it is: WORKING dl09 one click rooting method
The original problem: Our phones take longer to boot up from a restart than they did before; from either (some say) dl09 and/or from apps and mods we have installed.
The solution: Adjusting the amount of pause in the script of the one click root.
The process:
Step 1: Download the one click root software
- If you don't already have the Samsung Fascinate Drivers for windows, download them here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/RootSF/Generic_CDMA_i500_Showcase_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0.msi
- Download the Dirrk's EZ Root v0.2 software from here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/att...576d1285453266-how-root-fascinateroot_v02.zip
Right click on the .zip file and extract it to a new folder
Step 2: Set your phone into USB Debugging mode
- Go to Main Menu
- Click Settings
- Click Applications
- Click Development
- Make sure that USB Debugging is turned on (Check mark is green to right of it)
- Plug in your USB cord to your phone and other in to PC
Step 3: Rooting your phone
- First, EDIT the START_ROOT.bat file; to do this, simply right click and hit edit
- It should open up a notepad editor
- Now look down the script (meaning all the text you see) and find the second "call PMSLEEP 60" (it won't have the " " around it)
- What this is is the amount of time the program pauses/waits for your phone to reset and then reload all of your programs at start up. Obviously this varies from phone to phone.
- I have a ton of crap on my phone and no mods done to speed it up so I needed to increase the amount of time greatly. The number you put in is the amount of time in seconds, so 60 is one minute, 120, is two minutes, and so on.
- I put in 240 just to be safe, so I would have time to change things if I needed. Worst thing that could happen is that you have to sit there for an extra minute or two.
- Now look down to the next "call PMSLEEP" and change the number to (for example) 180 for three minutes. It should look like "call PMSLEEP 180" without the " " obviously.
- This is the amount of time the program waits before it ACTUALLY DOES THE EXPLOIT.
- Now save the file and close out
Now we actually run the program. I want to point out that I have had numerous others say they had the exact same experience that I did, but a few have told me they didn't. So the steps that I am about to tell you maybe overkill (meaning unnecessary) for some, but regardless, they won't hurt anything if you didn't need to do them otherwise.
So here we go:
- With your phone in Debug mode and attached AND recognized by your computer, right click on "START_ROOT.bat" and click "Run as Administrator"
- It should find and recognize your i500 phone
- Simply click a button to start the process
- Once it pushes (transfers) the necessary files to your phone, it will restart your phone
- Now this is the problematic part that a lot of people were experiencing: After the reboot here, the phone lost its connection with the computer, even though it gave no indication it did. So to fix this, once your phone has fully restarted and loaded up, unplug the usb cable from your phone, go back to the USB Debugging setting, UNCHECK IT, now CHECK IT again. It will pop up with a notice message, click ok. Now plug your phone back in.
- And now if you still have time to spare (which a lot of people will) just sit back a wait for the program to continue. Some people have said that if there phone goes to the lock from inactivity, the root program won't continue and will error out. So if you want to be safe, just push on the screen and move it around every 30 seconds or so to keep it from locking, but don't load up programs or anything else that could interfere. Once it does, IT WILL THEN ROOT YOUR PHONE.
- The program should say it was successful and hit any button to continue (which will just close it out).
- Now open up root explorer (I'm assuming everyone already has this app on there phone, if not get it from the market or "other" places
) and make sure you have access to your root files. If you don't, it will pop up with a message saying so. But, if you did everything correctly, you should have no problem at all!)
And voila... Your OTA dl09 SF is now once again, or for some for the first time, ROOTED with the easiest possible method!!!
