How come I can update android 1.0 driver I installed the Samsung drivers
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I was able to unlock, root using this method and install superuser but none of the recoveries will stick. I have tried TWRP, Clockwork regular and touch and they will work once and then if I try to go back I just get the dead android guy? Is this a 4.0.4 problem?
Edit- I found the solution. I renamed the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak with root explorer and it fixed it.

I had the same problem and open the one click root script and found this line
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.k-lined.sh
It worked for me.

Terminal Emulator: Trying to PermRoot

After typing "su" and super user access being granted I get stuck. After the command it says not found. If I type "cd" I get the message "cd: HOME not set" can anyone help me to figure out what I need to do to direct this?

What, exactly, is the command? Copy/paste it if you can.

That worked. Thank you, but now on the next step I input "chmod 777 gfree" and get back "unable to chmod gfree: no such file or directory" which doesn't make sense to me, because when I look in my files the file named gfree is in sdcard/data/local

It needs to be /data local, not sdcard/data/local. Sounds like you messed up a step.
Get ES File Explorer and enable root browsing.
