taken from here http://www.samsungmomentforum.com/rooting/root-access-(finally-achieved!)/
1) Partition your SD Card to have first partition as fat16 and second ext3 [this tutorial assumes you have this setup exactly as stated]
2) Boot in Test Mode with Call+Center+Power
3) copy root into your tools directory of the sdk
4) adb push root /system
5) adb shell chmod 0755 /system/root
6) adb shell /system/root
7) unplug usb, remove battery, reboot into test mode when instructed
8) adb shell
9) /system/bin/btld_testmode
10) /system/root
Excellent. It work!. Just do exatly the steps above. Thanks for putting all this info together.
FYI... Samsung post the source code of the samsung moment.
Is this temp or persistent root? For temp root I don't think partitioning the sd card is necessary or at least I didn't partition it when I temp rooted my Moment.
Was a long time WinMo user, I was stuck with a Moto Q9c on sprint for way to long. I'm still stuck with sprint, but got the Moment in hopes of having a badass Android to start with.
Night and Day compared to my Q, the root is key though, custom rom's were so easy on the Q.
soooo im a newb to android, same question as johnbarry3434.
does it stick?
I've got two Moment's(thanks sprint for shipping me 2 and charging me for neither) ?maybe one for test purposes?
Anything I can do to help the rooting process, please let me know
Sorry guys but I'm very new to this android. Only had my phone for a week now. Is rooting like flashing a custom ROM for the Touch Pro?
Does this require seperate adb drivers for the Samsung phone?? If so where can I get them and are there any avaliable for Ubuntu???
Hi guys,
I have just gotten myself a Samsung Spica. Can I use this guide as well? Is there a ROM-update tool for the Spica?
I'm really n00b, so any help is appreciated
I need someone with this rooted phone to contact me, I need to get some data from it so I can work on something for it.
Please contact me at [email protected]
Thanks
hey look i am brand new to this whole root thing i just got my moment two days ago i am used to the simple jailbreak iphone stuff but this is a whole new level
i am on windows vista and i do not understand any of this at all please someone email me some simpler instructions or make a video or something just to help me out in some way please and thank you
my email: [email protected]
use the search Service people
Now that moment is rooted?
Will there be any chance of us getting a custom rom of andorid using sense ui?
i dont really see any point in rooting my phone if there is no MAJOR thing you can do with it..
I cannot get my samsung to root
I have the updated cupcake cl14 and when I boot my phone with talk+center+power, I boot into a test mode that lets me test the screen, keyboard, and so on. I did copy the root file (supplied from the instructions ) to the main part of my card on both partitions, and partitioned it just as it stated in the 1st step. I don't understand what the "adb" is and how to use it. Can this only be down with windows because I'm am using Ubuntu. I know adb is advance debugging bridge but after some google searches I still don't know how to use it. I now a little about chmod 0755 because of Ubuntu but any "hand-holding" instructions would be great thankyou to everyone who is willing to help me and others out with this problem.
Is there still no "real" benefit for root access for the Moment? As in no good reason to root the phone? My girlfriend has one and I was hoping that it was at least close behind my Hero by now in terms of root access benefits....TIA

just got my phone and can't increase the size of the fonts was told rooting is the only way even with using spare parts.
first of what program can I use to partition the sd card I am running windows XP. and everything I have downloaded today would only see the internal drive.
For those of you still looking for how to root your Samsung Moment (you don't have to use your SDCard either) there are two HOW TOs posted at PPCGeeks under the NON-WM DEVICES>ANDRIOD>SAMSUNG MOMENT
One explains how to root phone with CJ05
The other explains how to root phones that have CL14 out-the-box or officially updated to CL14
I would post a link except I'm not permitted to post an outside link... just go to PPCGeeks(dot)com and click on their forum
So what Now!!!!
Okay I see you have this placed here.. I like... I have a Nexus and 2 Droids, wife and mine.. Nexus ALL mine.. HAHAHA..
My sister, wifes sister, she has the Moment.. I have always wanted to root this just cause of the 800mhz processor... This was the first device to almost meet up with the Nexus before it was even thought up..
Is there Roms, Themes, Kernels, etc.. I see nothing, but a root, useless, without an accommodation, thanks anyway, always good to have the key to the door first..
Somebody, PM me if not on, or reply here, I'll come back around...
cool that i made the front page but the info is out dated now.
yes this info is way outdated. just flash the kernel with speedyrabbit's or joeykrim's kernel and you'll have persistent root, plus a much faster phone.
also, speedyrabbit's kernel has wifi tether and flash_image support. you can download from www(dot)sdx-developers(dot)com.
Will there be a forum for the samsung intercept?
Forum for samsung intercept
I can deal with the un-rooted version, because it's still a great phone for what you pay. However, I have the sprint version of the samsung intercept (assuming there's more than one carrier for this one), and I H-A-T-E all the crap that it comes preinstalled with. I hear people saying that these apps don't take any active RAM, but sysinfo and advanced task manager say otherwise..."sprint zone" is the most nefarious offender...if anyone would develop the root, I would L-O-V-E (guess I'm into spelling to-day) to donate to your efforts.
-Lukewarm Samsung Intercept user/loser.
I really hope we can get a forum for the intercept soon. I know the phone was cheap on contract but its not going to be worth it to me if no one works on a root! Maybe our prayers will be answered soon! *fingers crossed*

PLEASE!!
I just got the samsung intercept and I want to root it.
It would be nice for the Samsung Intercept to have its on forum. The Kernel for it is already out. I don't see why we can't get a little section of our own too. :\
granted i know that this is the bottom of the line android phone but why is it no one will actually root it ? they have already rooted the evo,epic,droid,galaxy s ect..
why is it no one will actually take the time to root the intercept or the moment.
i'm sure it cant be too much different than rooting the epic.
people claim they are going to root it but no one follows through
i dont want to flash the rom
If there won't be a forum for it here, would it be okay for users to post links to sites that have a forum for interecept. I have many questions but no place to ask them and I don't want to fill this thread with them since they don't belong here.
The phone has been rooted now actually. If you go to the sdx developer site you'll see it.
I went there and read the instructions. I am going to try rooting it tonight. Do you know if the amon ra recovery image will work with it? If not, is there an alternative recovery image with similar functionality/options?
I have a friend who has the samsung intercept, and I rooted it using the new one click universal rooter, but it was only a partial root.. The phone is still virtually not rooted... (no Titanium, market access, busybox, tether, etc.) Please help me get this thing fully rooted. He is willing to donate 10 bucks or so.
Why are there no XDA Devs responding?
Weird, its like the twilight zone or something. No support for a newish device. There are far worse phones on here, so not sure what the deal is. Maybe they're all too busy with their sweet new Evo's and the like. I wouldn't want to spend too much time on this one either (I have an Evo), but given people are willing to donate, and aren't asking for anything more than [complete] root, I don't see why not.
I'd like to get this phone for my wife. She won't spend any money and I can get this one for free. I want her on an Android phone to facilitate some mobile functions between the two of us. I see no better way to do it (while staying with Sprint) than with the Instinct. Seems nice enough in the video reviews. She's still using her Instinct! ;-P
All I want is a working recovery. One where I can wipe and not brick this phone. It is possibly the worst piece of junk I've ever layed my hands on. I figured stock would be great for my fiancee, she knows nothing of rooting and wouldn't care if she did. However, the stock ROM that came with this was MISERABLE! (Virgin Mobile, btw, not sure if they did anything different from sprint other than differing bloatware.) That being said, I decided to root the thing for her and see if I would help with the lag issues and other things. Nothing did. All the custom ROMs had an issue where the phone would be so slow I had to pull the battery out to even use it again. It was as if the processor was running at 60MHz and wouldn't get any faster. Superuser would not request permissions for anything except root explorer - everything else automatically were granted access and did not show up in superuser's app list which can be VERY dangerous. Superuser also keept saying it needed to be updated no matter how many times I updated it. Andora ROM wouldn't allow the holding of the power button or it would freeze up. As a final issue, ADB wouldn't recognize it at all. I use ADB for my G2 all the time so I know what I'm doing and I know it's not my PC. It would recognize it in recovery but any command would fail and the device would become unrecognizable again until i issued "adb kill-server." Again, though, any command make the phone unrecognizable.
Now I like the phone for the budget qualities and virgin mobile's plans (great when you're super short on money) and the fact that they have an Android phone so you can still enjoy the greatness of Android on a budget, and I don't even want anything extreme out of this phone other than for it to just work like Android should.
Thank you to all the devs who have devved for this phone so far, and they've came a looooong way and I agree it's better than when I opened the box, but we need a working recovery at least. Yes, the recovery gets the job done but it needs some serious work and at least a working recovery. I think a lot of ROM issues come from not being able to wipe.
I'm not blaming any one for all my issues, I know the devs work hard for nothing but donations and I thank them greatly for that. Its not even really the custom ROMs as it is just the phone. I read up on it before purchasing and saw it had a good amount of RAM and a 800MHz processor and thought this phone was actually going to be able to compare to a G2 (speed-wise) but boy was I wrong. I'm feeling extreme buyers remorse and everything said above was just me getting it off my chest. I actually didn't plan to root it at all. My fiancee doesn't do anything really other than text, play some games, get on facebook, and occasionally look up things on google. The phone does all these extremely well but has so much instability in between doing these things that every time she picks it up it is unknown if she's going to be able to do any of them without the phone crashing or lagging so bad she has to pull the battery.
If we can get this phone running and VANILLA Android, such as cyanogenmod or just a goold-ol-fashioned AOSP build, I think it would be a great phone with much more potential is has now.
wait, so the intersept now has a forum, but not the TRANSFORM? messed up...
the intercept also has 2.2 as of today!!!!!!

r3s-rt - the biggest issue is samsung and their RFS filesystem and their proprietary drivers; which is a huge fail to porting over to AOSP or cyanogenmod... plus, there aren't that many devs (they're all working on the higher tiered phones...)
What file system would need to be used for it to be easiest?

Froyo Update
My Samsung Intercept updated to Froyo 2.2 this morning.
I got pushed the 2.2 update but it failed due to my custom inxane recovery, going to revert it to stock and try it again my brothers is on 2.2 and it pushes the stock android theme as well so no more crappy customized theme!
Not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but I will go ahead. 2 Months ago I got the intercept with a new sprint contract. I instantly wanted to root it, but decided to wait for the froyo update. Well, now I have the official froyo update up and running (SOOOO much better!!!!) so I decided to work on rooting it. First problem I had was the USB drivers. over the course of about a week, I discovered that the drivers work fine so long as you don't plug it into your PC through a USB hub (internal OR external). I followed the instructions in sprintdroids. (I read the entire thread several times hoping to learn from other people's experience). I tried both the official samsung drivers and the ones posted with PDAnet. I also tried both the one click root listed elsewhere on this site as well as SuperOneClick. The one click root gave me the following output:
exploit and busybox made by joeykrim and one click installer made by noobnl

Yes, USB debugging was ON and my screen was not locked.
SuperOneClick did nothing and said my phone was rooted. I am unable to perform any root functions (one touch reboot, delete bloatware, overclock, etc.) therefore I do not believe I am rooted.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition. I get the same results no matter which driver I use. Any suggestions?
The easiest way to get root right now would be to either use the one click that's available for the intercept over on sdx-developers.com or to flash a rooted kernel like slapkernel v1.1.

So is there a single WORKING root method for this phone? I have read the wiki, the first method is not even up to date...
Second one does not include all the needed drivers...
Digging I found a hacked one click root.apk... it fails
I have had 6800, 6850, Omnia, Eris, all with custom roms, yet I can not for the life of me root this PoS. Look I understand no one here gets paid, but would someone here PLEASE take pity on a soul that wants nothing more than to put his phone through a wall?
I've used this one many times http://destdroid.com/showthread.php?11-Droid-X-2.2-Root-Manual-Method
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
OMG i think I finally got it. I had to install Motoconnect, not just drivers, and I had to use a link on one of the other pages down the thread, I will post it later...
The one click in the Wiki worked fine for me. Then search out for bootstrap to get clockwork on there.
The doroot method for D2 works flawlessly
I cant get the instructions linked on post 1 to work. i prefer to do it myself in linux rather than use a script or a oneclick root. i tried the instructions on linux and adb never dies on the linux shell, so do these instrucitons not work on linux or need to be changed perhaps?
after 10 minutes i manually killed the adb shell pid in linux. then did a adb shell again, its slow as hell and as i figured there are thousands of rageagainst.bin's running (i renamed to shorten it, maybe that is the issue?) as i beleive this is how the exploit works, but it doesnt appear to be working on the 2.2 full sbf?
Check my site for step-by-step tutorials with links to all necessary files/programs. It's a new site but so far I have guides for installing ADB drivers, Rooting/UnRooting, and increasing the screen resolution for the DX.
www.TweakMyDevice.com
I'm adding more and more tutorials as I have time. Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns.
I have made a script of the most popular guide for rooting the Thunderbolt right now.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...he-htc-thunderbolt-and-unlock-its-bootloader/
Long story short, I have not tested this enough to guarantee it will work for everyone. It can run on both Mac and Linux, and only requires that curl is installed (by default on Mac, and most Linux distros). I have made absolutely sure that the script did not run anything what-so-ever that is damaging without letting you verify that you want to continue several times.
Please only test at this time if you know your way around adb, and are willing to run into non-damaging issues (it may fail, but I assure you, no damage is done)
usage
Make sure the phone is plugged in and adb is installed and working, and device is showing. Start a terminal IN the adb directory and put this script in there. Start it as usual in a terminal? (rename oneClick.txt to oneClick.sh)
Both AndroidPolice & AndIRC are nor affiliated with this root process or responsible for it.
has anyone tested this? i have a mac but am not experienced in adb...was going to give it a shot when i got off work today.
@kdb424, is there some way you could provide more detailed instructions for adb noobs? if not, i'll try dbzfanatic's easy root or attempt this after learning adb myself first.
First off, thanks andrew8806 for doing that edit. I knew I had missed something.
Second, the only thing you should have to do on a mac to verify this is going to work is make sure adb is installed, and make sure your device comes up in adb devices.
If that's good, all you need to do is open a terminal and type "cd " and drag and drop the folder that adb is installed into (depending on where you installed it, it could be different or I'd just type it) then put the script in there and run
sh ./oneClick.sh
and follow the instructions in the script.
will this still wipe data?
Yes, absolutely. Long story short is that it requires that an old build be flashed on your phone so that can be hacked. It's the only know method of rooting now. All one clicks are just abusing that and simplifying as much as possible.
just got done rooting with my macbook pro. the script kdb424 wrote worked really well. there were a few hiccups along the way, not sure if they were from my terminal glitching or the script or my phone or whatever, but it worked, flashing clockworkmod right now to change the ROM.
for anyone curious, sometimes the script would just stop because some command missed or something. i would just edit kdb424's script to remove the portion that i already completed and rerun the script essentially starting it up again wherever it messed up. at the end i ran the last few lines myself but overall it was quite helpful to root, especially for someone new to ADB like me.

Thank you so much. I'm glad to hear success. I know ADB has some issues that I can not resolve. It's the same no matter how you root. Do you remember what portions gave you trouble specifically? I could take a closer look at it and iron hose things out. Once again, thanks again, and glad I could help!
Willing to try this once things get ironed out.

all of the md5 sums and outputs were correct so there were no brick possibility i think. if i recall correctly, sometimes pushing the PS05IMG.zip would not execute properly and the script would not continue until i reran it. i think that might've happened with both the downgrade and the s-off one, can't say for certain. some parts that hiccuped may have just been my tbolt needing extra reboots so i don't think that was the script's fault. towards the end i would just run the lines myself, i think i had to redo the ./adb shell /data/local/psneuter line the most before it took properly. i believe that was it, like i had said it was quite helpful and greatly expedited the rooting process.
Im expierienced with ADB and I have a mac. Will be trying this out now. Reporting back soon.....
Edit (after using scipt)
While the script is great, the end just turns into a #failfest. It refuses to the final file to my SD card and sites that its read only. The end I am doing manually. The rest of the script is amzing and gets a A+
Thank you so much for your feedback. I'll be looking into that. If I come up with any typos in the script, I'll update and let you know. ADB is known to act odd at times, so it may be pure ADB's fault. Definitely taking a look into though,. Enjoy your root!
I just got root using the OG method on my mac and it was a PITA. I think the big thing to know is you can use every step listed by jcase, but you need to use ./adb instead of JUST adb.
After completing root the long way, I imagine this would expedite things exponentially.
Hi folks,
Has anybody actually tried running Ubuntu Desktop on Note 3 either through "Linux on Android" or dual booting?
If so, were you able to run Unity or any other desktop environment?
And finally performace, is it good enough to work in say LibreOffice without much pain?
still not for note 3 yet
This is what I found on Linux on Android site, regarding Note 3 9005:
Mknod permission denied
Had to gut the bootscript and recreate without all the checks
Essentially the new bootscript contains no checks just the commands and is around 35 lines long.
Running the new bootscript still causes mknod permission denied, however, if you open the bootscript in a text editor copy all and paste into the terminal and execute line by line, you get into the chrooted environment.
Tested : ubuntu 13.04 , 13.10 large
What works:
Ssh server
Apt-get
Nano
Ping
Traceroute
And a lot of terminal stuff
What does not:
Mc : garbled
Vnc : dbus error
Aircrack-ng : no monitoring mode
Installing another graphical environment: install fails , due to 2 package errors
Ultimately moderately useful but mc is a real loss.

According to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48265575&postcount=1887
Ubuntu should work on Note 3 without the problems described above.
I wonder about performance though, does this solution allow Ubuntu to utilize all four cores and available RAM or run it as a single process under Android.

I would do it like I did with the tf101 and the tf201 but honestly I am not keen on triggering knox
As for capability, when booted natively there will be some things that won't work right at first due to qDSP signed binaries needing to be uploaded to hexagon. Capability wise though it should be fine, with 3GB ram and an S800 it should outperform the TF201 at pretty much every task under linux.

If we manage to root without triggering knox, I guess we can also run "Linux on Android" without triggering it. Though installing natively is out of question in this case.
