which drivers? i downloaded the file you posted im donating if i figure this out i know im a pain sorry this is my first android phone
I seem to be having some problems getting this to work. I first installed the USB drivers mentioned in this thread. The phone is then able to connect to Windows Vista without issue in debug mode. However when attempting to run the batch file in either zip KMS or the ShabbyPrevailRoot it appears to fail. I have tried both with the SD card completely out of the device and also with the SD card in but unmounted. Output from the KMS zip batch file: Code (Text): E:\My Dropbox\Private\Samsung Galaxy Prevail Root\KMS\KMS>echo "PLEASE UNMOUNT O R REMOVE SD CARD PRIOR TO USE" "PLEASE UNMOUNT OR REMOVE SD CARD PRIOR TO USE" E:\My Dropbox\Private\Samsung Galaxy Prevail Root\KMS\KMS>echo "PRESS ENTER WHEN DONE" "PRESS ENTER WHEN DONE" E:\My Dropbox\Private\Samsung Galaxy Prevail Root\KMS\KMS>pause Press any key to continue . . .

I think when I did my dad's droid 2 I had to set it to PC mode somewhere but haven't seen that on this device.
I'm having similar issues i manualy ran the commands in the batch file in command prompt and i'm getting C:\USERS\PUGS\DOWNLO~1\KMS\KMS>adb wait-for-device C:\USERS\PUGS\DOWNLO~1\KMS\KMS>adb push KillingMeSoftly /data/local/tmp 204 KB/s (6143 bytes in 0.029s) C:\USERS\PUGS\DOWNLO~1\KMS\KMS>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/KillingMeSoftly C:\USERS\PUGS\DOWNLO~1\KMS\KMS>adb shell cd /data/local/tmp; ./KillingMeSoftly [*] CVE-2010-743C Android local root exploit (C) 2010 743C [*] The Android Exploid Crew Gentlemens club - dominating robots since 2008.

I had an issue at first. I rebooted my phone and killed all unnecessary apps and it went fine. Be patient and don't give the phone any input.
killingmesoftly will not work 100% of the time, this was put out so that people could have root while interdpth tweaks it more to perfect it, hence the
I had to try it around 10 times before my phone got rooted. My phone was in airplane mode and selected the option to keep the phone awake. I selected batch file at different times right after the the phone booted up. It failed a number of times before i got it working. Just keep trying.
Is the source for KillingMeSoftly available? I understand that KMS is based of KillingInTheNameOf, but I would like to see what was changed to make this work.
there is a mac/linux version now run.sh needs to be made executable then you can run it gu1dry :O what brings you to this neck of the woods???
I will be releasing the source, I want to make a few more modifications, and get this working for as many as possible before I release it. KMS is just a few bug fixes, and a weird timing issue fix. And of course the one click roots. So gimme about a week at most to release it(probably this sunday) It's also still 80% KITNO
An acquaintance of mine was asking about rooting the Prevail. Still currently rocking my (old) HeroC, not sure when & to what I'll upgrade this bad boy next though. What phone you using these days?
im on the nexus s 4g, after the epic this phone is amazing. still trying to convince decad3nce to switch over
