  • I tried this back when Gingerbread first come out and gave up. Retried with these links and instructions and was a breeze.

    Worked Great ! Thanks 

  • I restart the phone and now it's root. THANKS!

  • Please help. Two hours later the phone was left on the SAMSUNG logo. What I can do?

  • Thank you man. I ve had my phone for seven months and all the root videos were over my head, but I was able to understand your step by step, and now I am finally rooted. I am 4ever greatful to you for taking the time to help others.

    Peace out

  • @kcb1009 No problem bro, I'm glad everything went smooth for you. . .

  • This was SOO helpful (:

    no other video would work .. thank youu !

  • @ValenzuelaNaye No problem! d:o] 

  • the only thanks I worked thank you very much

  • Hi how do i unroot mu galaxy prevail back to stock if u could please help

  • ok, i'm trying to do the shabbymod .09 and it keeps failing. I've commented on the video for it but it seems to be a dead feed so i'm gonna try here simply because i've seen shabby himself reply. I downloaded the file, extracted with 3 different softwares, followed the prompts to the T.. and still it's failing to recognize the "killing me softly" file. I don't have any idea whats going on. The shabby root was success.. Any idea's??? my brain burns

  • please help me i took me so long to get this phone

  • @enhancedredneck Alright! lol... you ran the root and its at the Samsung logo now?. . .

  • my phone wont turn on

  • @enhancedredneck Ooo I read it wrong... Ummm... What you mean it wont turn on, Ur not getting any power to it at all?. . .

  • I've been trying the steps you provided... and all goes well. Until I get to a screen in the root batch file that says "daemon not running, starting it now... daemon started successfully... Getting temp root. It freezes I guess after saying getting temp root. I let it run last night so it could take as long as it wanted and got up earlier and it still said the same thing. I followed all the steps. Windows wants to get the updates, but I installed the Samsung ones. Please help! Thanks!

  • @williedogster Hmmm... Alright, so after you installed the Samsung drivers you plugged your phone in and it said update drivers?. . .

  • @MrGBGraphics Yes. It ran through and installed drivers for 4 different things. Had check marks by each of them. I plugged in my phone via usb. Ran the program and it stalled out. Not sure what else I can try.

  • @williedogster Hmmm.. Did your phone shut off at all?..

  • @MrGBGraphics No. It just froze during the program like I was saying. No changes were made to the phone. It never reset or nothing.

  • @williedogster Huh! Did you root your phone when it was 2.2?. . And try to run the root a few times.. It might have just glitched is all..

  • @williedogster Huh! Did you root your phone when it was 2.2?. . And try to run the root a few times.. It might have just glitched is all..

  • @MrGBGraphics No. My phone came with gingerbread 2.3.5. If this software won't root that version, is there another way you know of that I can try to root? Thanks.

  • @williedogster This root is for 2.3.5., but ummm... Try running it a few times and see what happens.. It might have just fucked up. . .

  • Where can I find ROMs for this phone?!

  • @x12CHRIS18x Google "android forums" I'm pretty sure its the first link, but you will find a few roms on that website..

  • @TheLatino2000 can you please provide the link were you downloaded cyanogenmod 7.1 for the prevail. I can't seem to find it for this specific phone, but I believe the prevail has the same basic features as any other galaxy s.. just not positive. thanks.

  • @MrGBGraphics... I actually was able to figure out why. I was running the legacy drivers that come with pdanet to connect to my computer. I uninstalled the whole app from the computer and phone- Reinstalled samsung drivers (your link did not work for me. I had to hunt for them. not a biggy ;) and did the root from there. worked great. Thanks for the help and @Shabbypenguin.... Thanks for finally breaking the prevail. you did a great job man. I know this is your work. ;)

  • now running cyanogenmod 7.1 on my prevail ^_^ thank you a lot!

  • Thanks man! That worked great.

  • @atilsonoramexico No problem!

  • I rooted my phone and it worked fine and then I downloaded a rom and it turned my phone off and it wont power back up is there any thing I can do to fix it. PLEASE HELP.

  • @richardboyd24 Ahhhh that's no good!.. Does the screen light up at all?...

  • @MrGBGraphics No it does nothing is there any way to fix it or have it fixed

  • @richardboyd24 Hmmm... I don't really know what to say about that, that's real weird that the screens not lighting up at all, its like your phones not getting any power.. I was thinking that it might not be booting right, but I don't even think you can flash on the prevail, but google "android forums" and see if you can find an answer..

  • Did I root my phone? I did all the steps and didnt get the yellow icon, but instead I got a gray icon that says "superuser"

  • @SuppaTrix Yes, you are 100% rooted! =]

  • wont even let me download drivers. my desktop already recognizes my phone so i assumed i had the go. followed the instructions and still no root.. any ideas?

  • @dbaker1009 Hmmmm, that's weird, whats it say when you go to download the drivers?...

  • Worked for me :D

  • its vibrating its ass off.....should i turn it off???,......HELP..

  • @tressieeaster Lol yes you can turn it off now..

  • was wondering about roms... i have seen a few but nothing to great. about to root my phone crossing fingers it works! peace

  • @t3al3afz did it work??

  • great video, i really need to update the script :/. just to clear it up tho, you cannot overclock the prevail

  • @Shabbypenguin Yea I actually figured out that I can't overclock it after I made this video lol.. I thought when I installed the app one of the presets put it to the max automatically, but then I googled what the phone runs at stock then realized it didn't do shit lol, but do you have a website bro I can direct people to in the description so that you can get the credit and shit?.. Im pretty sure I got the root from android forums, but im not sure if yous own the site or not..

  • @MrGBGraphics i have it posted on androidforums but no i dont own the site, just a regular guy who posts there, and yes if youve rooted your prevail (froyo or gingerbread) youve used my work :)

  • @Shabbypenguin Lol I appreciate it bro.. I looked everywhere, and yours is the only one that worked.. I'm thinking about getting the new LG Marquee.. I was wondering if you are gonna be making a root for it?..

  • @MrGBGraphics @Shabbypenguin That would be awesome because I'm also thinking of upgrading to the Marquee

  • hell yeah this shit worked and it was easy. u are the man

  • i downloaded samsung drivers but what do i do after that because i plug in my phone and it still says it dont reconize

    

  • Yeah man. Great work. Looked everywhere and nothing worked. Till I tried your method. Thanks alot

  • @nightdragon1168 No problem bro!

  • @nightdragon1168 Lol naaa it was just a joke card, but glad it worked for you bro!

  • you are the man..... I thought it was a virus at first when it said all your shit is being deleted

  • @fford2k :) glad you liked it and yea gutta have fun when you make this kinda stuff XD

  • Haha worked perfect. Thanks bro.

  • @SwizzBull No problem!

  • The phone vibrated for an hour and a half, I had to disconnect the usbe from phone took the battery out and turn the phone back on and it worked. Super user was on apps. Works great. Thanks

  • @wolfs2424 No problem G!

  • I turned my phone off and then it wouldn't go back on!

  • @supersaber101 Hmmm. . . That shouldn't have anything to do with this, all a root does is unlock your sims card and makes you admin of your phone basically.. Did you get it to turn back on?

  • vinny from jersey shore

  • I figured it out. Cool shit I'm rooted. As far as moving apps and making more space should I get the force2sd app or is there a better way?

  • question. i did everything step by step. my phone reseted then did the vibrate thing. so i went to my app screen and didnt have the yellow icon but i had one called superuser. did i do it right?

  • OK I download and my phone is rooted but how do I delete the pre installed apps

  • how do i delete pre installed apps

  • I have boost transform 2.3.4 any help with rooting?

  • i installed the samsung drivers to root my samsung galaxy prevail with gingerbread 2.3.5 and my computer is not recognizing my phone why is that?

  • so i just did the root and my phone is on the samsung logo and that shit is vibing like every 2 seconds how long do i wait shit its been like 10 mins already lol shit i hope i didnt fuck my shit up lol

  • @evananthonybaez pull out your battery, restart your phone go to apps LOOK REALLY SLOWLY THRU THEM and you should find the SUPER USER ICON

  • I have a question maybe someone on here can help with, Does anyone know how to change the prl on this phone. Im new and just rooted so I need it explained in the simplest way possibe, Like as simple as this video and explanation made it to root the phone. Since I changed phones (Not carriers) I have no signal now and Im told the prl needs changed its actualy a BIG Issue on this phone, next to the stupid overload of usless apps! thanks.

  • Thanks for the vid man! Root was easy. I have the same exact problem you are having with the ridiculous apps on this phone taking up all the damn space. What do you recommend I do to move the apps to my sd card and delete the ones I don't want after the root? This is my first time rooting so I'm a newb.

  • @itstheKT Lol nothing wrong with being a noob bro everybody starts somewhere, but to remove apps you have to download a free app off the android market called "titanium backup" just make sure you don't uninstall anything to do with you're operating systems

  • just wanted to say that this is a very good working root ! Out of all people you were the one who helped me get it done, works great and I am very HAPPY

    So a BIG FAT (Thank You!)

  • @brookfish3 No problem! Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it..

  • computer isnt detecting my phone when i plug it in, anyone know why?

  • You F-ing rock, 2nd time worked like a charm, Guess I just pulled the battery to soon the 1st time. ( Let me just say Im a dummy when it comes to phones) And if I can do it anyone can. This was soooo easy. Thank you so much! Now to go get rid of these unwanted apps!

  • did not work the first time im doing it again now. Anyone maybe know why and wanna help?

  • did it take anyone else 2 hrs to extract the drivers after downloading them?

  • Dude omg it worked and it was hella easy.!!!!:D

  • OMFGGGGGG YOU ARE THE DAMN MAN !!! THANKS BRO! subed n liked

  • @anifini Lol no problem! Thanks for the feedback means alot!

  • I dont think it worked!.>.< & I'm scared to try it again...help!

  • @Trigg562 it didnt work the first time i did it either so here is what i did different the 2nd time. (Im not sure what one if any made the difference, but hey its worth a shot and didnt mess up my cell) I took my SD card out the first time b4 I rooted it because I read somewhere else to do that, but I put it back in b4 the 2nd root attempt. (THIS WAS WHEN THE ROOT TOOK) also the 1st root I pulled the battery out 2mins after root was done not sure if it was maybe too soon, so the 2nd x I waited

  • for about 5mins (AGAIN THE TIME ROOT TOOK) {Just a little side note to anyone who maybe didnt see the super user icon , TAKE YOUR TIME LOOKING AT YOUR APPS PAGE IT IS SOOOOOO EASY TO MISS THE ICON AND THINK YOUR PHONE IS NOT ROOTED}

  • My computer isn't detecting my Samsung when I connect it with the USB. I have the up-to-date drivers for 2.3.5 from your link. How long is the wait until my computer detects it? Or am I missing a step?

  • @Prochopmeister having the same problem did you ever figure it out?

  • @punkrawkemotweak did you download the drivers first? then extract the file and run it so your computer knows that its there?

  • @punkrawkemotweak Step #1 Click link to download Samsung drivers,

    Step #2 Install your Samsung drivers to your computer so your computer will recognize your phone. {He has the link for that abouve in step one click on it download it then open it and follow the directions. Its super self explanitory and easy.

  • @KAMARO5883 I downloaded everything fine, i figured out the problem though, it was my USB cable, data wire inside is broken so it wouldnt transmit data to and from the computer, it used my pc as a charger basically, Tried my cousins cable and everything worked. thank you for the help though! i didnt think i was gonna get any responses!

  • @punkrawkemotweak Lol I haven't tested this theory out yet, but I think I know the source of the problem. The USB cord that I am currently using to charge my battery is from my old phone (Verison LG). So... I believe I need to get the cord that is made for the Samsung phone itself. If you're in the same situation, check that out for me! :P

  • @Prochopmeister I actually did figure it out, the Data part of my usb cable is Fd so i need a new cable. I used my cousins cable and the computer detected my phone. I downloaded everything alright and used like 2 diff computers so when nothing was working I used her cable and that seemed to be the problem.

  • This is for a prevail that already has 2.3.5 right?

  • fuuuuuck yeah! 2 thumbs up

  • it dosent work for me can someone help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here is my error message: rm failed for /data/local/zergRush, No such file or directory

  • @Hackepro2012 Hmmm... Did your phone shut off?

  • YOU THE MOTHA FUCKIN MAN 

  • fuck thank god for you and this video got my ROOT YOU DA MAN

  • ah nevermind I took the battery out and it worked. thank you soooo much!!!!!!! Ive been trying to figure this out for months and this root worked!

  • @littleBlondeRaver44 Sorry for the late reply I was out of town for a bit, but no problem hun glad you figured it out :)

  • yeah my phones on the samsung screen and its vibrating randomly....so I just leave it like this for awhile or do I shut it off?

  • When I try to download the driver it says unsuccessful

  • Rom manager*

  • Thanks 10000% :D LOL but I dnt recommend Tom manager for this phn cuz mine got fucked up wen backed it up n I had to get a nw phn...luckily I kept my receipt n i put warranty n paid 30$ for a new phn :) ima root dis one soon

  • @xgamerx93 Haha no problem bro! Yea I was reading up on rom manager like 2 weeks ago it was saying that it could brick ur phone thats probably what happened to your phone. .

  • If we root our phones, and there is an update available, do we have to unroot to get it??

  • Worked bangin for me ^_____^

  • He said mah phone was vibrating WHAT THE FUCK...lol xD I said the same just now it sounds like a vibrator and shyt lol

  • @datbrklynkid718 Lmao!

  • FUCKING AMAZING *SAID FAILED TO LOCATED BUT WORKS 100%

    

  • worked great, thank you. One question, how do I delete the apps that came factory installed now that I have rooted my phone?

  • @nurseu84---Theres a app in the market not sure off the top off my head what its called tho just google it!!

  • @nurseu84 Awesome! sorry for the late reply been out of town for the last week but you have to download a app from the market called " Titanium Backup " just make sure you don't uninstall anything to do with your droid operating system

  • rm failed for data/local/zergrush/,no such file or directory

  • and then also my system updates want go threw i think its because my phones rooted idk if i do this mod u got will i be able to get the updates hit me

  • yes its already rooted idk too much bout the kernal thats wat i have and shabby mod.09 but i did it plenty times i also inboxed you

  • @pwilliams82390 Sorry for the late reply I was out of town for the last week, but the shabby mod09 should come rooted already..

  • @MrGBGraphics its all good i got the ct2.3 mod i got more space with that 115mb thanks though

  • DO U GT MORE MEMORY AND DO I HAVE TO UN ROOT MY PHONE TO DO THIS IF ITS ALREADY ROOTED

  • @pwilliams82390 It will allow you to make more space space on ur phone by removing unwanted apps that were pre installed.. You rooted ur phone when you had 2.2?

  • @pwilliams82390 Sorry for the late reply I was out of town for a bit, but It wont create more room in your phone.. The only way to get more room on ur phone is to buy a new phone with more hard drive space thats the only thing that sucks about the privail theres not alot of room on it, but you can uninstall pre-installed apps that came with your phone that you don't need to make more room

  • I GOT A ?

    

  • Rooted my prevail a couple weeks ago and Just rooted my girls phone today. Again no issues just follow the directions. Now to clean all the crap off of her phone too.

  • Cool story bro..

  • It all ran though right and at the end says "you should have root" but it doesn't reset my phone and I don't have superuser

  • ok so I took the battery out and manually restarted it. It's all good (at the moment). I greatly appreciate your work!! I have wifi at my house now lol 

  • @h3llzFa1ry how do you get wifi hotspot on the prevail

  • @marcolandeos at first I only had PDANET [from Market] on my phone which I used to connect to my laptop or desktop to get internet (doesn't require root) but for wifi I looked around and I found this one called "Barnacle Wifi Tether" [also on Market] which was the reason why I had to 'root' my phone so that it could work "wirelessly" [= I now have 3 Laptops, 1 Desktop, and a XBOX 360 connected to it. It may not be the fastest but it gets 'the job' done! Hope that helped!!! ~Violet
