Interesting. Someone more qualified can answer this, but I think there is some way to do it.

You should try the one click root method. It worked for me and now I am looking at Settings ---> About phone ---> Baseband xEE14 and I am good; rooted with ShabbyMod 0.9 beta as the build number.

I just can't tell you HOW to do this. I am sure it has something to do with ClockWorkMod, tho. You might have a newer phone where you have to "downgrade" in order to "upgrade."

Do this:
1. Try one click root (again).
If not
2. Use this Windows prog called Odin to pound in an old image to your phone; before the revision.

hroark13's Galaxy Prevail one came highly recommended. I am a total noob here but this is possible.

Bump.

This should set you straight. The directions are clear. Follow 'em strictly. And thank hroark13 for his trouble.

These guys are hookin' us up.

busybox executes some linux commands and apps

i dont know what cydia is

if you have the super user icon in you apps list you should be rooted
