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:

Is there something I am overlooking outside of the steps detailed in this thread or readme file? 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

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

 

Why dont you make a video of how to do it?:d

 

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.

 

When everything is complete will their be a mac version of it? Please don't forget us

 

Worked first time with no issues for me...

 

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???

 

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
