Intercept Root Apk and Recovery flasher

:-D
Finally, there is an App that can Get you permanent root on Samsung Intercept (Both Virgin Mobile and Sprint versions). It does not need PC, USB cable or USB Drivers. You can get Root as well as install CM01 Custom Recovery using this App.
Thanks to spaztecho from SDX Developers.

Epic.
Many thanks for the link! I had rooted my Intercept via the Samsung driver method and a windows PC - for the life of me my girlfriend's identical Intercept would not root using that method.
This worked like a charm. Easy as hell. One click, you got root - no external PC, no issues.
Thank you so much for posting this!

thanks
all good for me. Me funsiono todo a la perfeccion. por finnnnnnnnnnn.

Still using stock VM 2.2 rom after rooting - used root toolbox to kill a lot of the annoying apps that are included with the rom, installed a decent ad blocker - worries about trying a custom ROM - I rely on being able to tether my Intercept via wifi and don't want to risk messing up my 3g signal.
Give me a shout if you find a good ROM?

This apk is the bomb. It works! A good one to keep on the SD card just in case.

Unrooting?
Is there a way to unroot after this process, in case of damage?

Yes there is. I use my intercept for fun and development, and i have tried and successfully UN-rooted the device.
Search unroot Samsung intercept on Google. I remember the sdx forums had a tutorial.

[Q] How to Root

I just used the "SuperOneClick root" to root my phone, but the application did not respond and just didn't work. And i also tried downloading Z4root but it says my phone is not compatible. So can anyone tell me an easy way on how to root this phone safely.?

for EI22 Gingerbread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwFRzzIqouE
Thanks to qbking77.

Im really new to all of this so..... is there any easier way to just root my phone?

One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. You have to use Odin or Heimdall.

What part do you not understand? I could help t walk you through it I just rooted my epic a few nights back and have had almost every samsung android phone.

Samsung, u need odin to root the epic. No other way around it. When they released 2.3.5, they added a patch in the script so rooting would not stick. In qbkings video, he shows u and gives u the files to help the rooting stick. Z4root are for lower end phones.

I'm confused as to which rooting method to use with the new ota upgrade

A little confused as to which rooting method i need to use can someone please advise thanks
I've attached a pic of my system settings/build etc.
I'm getting diff answers frm diff pple
help
Thank you!

If you have access to Odin i'd recommend flashing over one of the pre-rooted packages.

You can use the ie22 GB rooting method according to Qbking77, and that way you won't need to ODIN or flash anything and lose your data.
Also next time post in Q & A so you don't get flamed

This is all I've been able to figure out. If you go to the one click root stickied post it links to a gingerbreak post that has a bunch of people posting that the gingerbreak method doesn't work for OTA upgrades.

The odin method does work... you have to odin a custom kernel to make cwm stick... then flash cwm with odin... then flash su.zip via cwm...

Honestly, since Rodderik responded to you in the one click root method thread, I would use the thread he linked you. You can't go wrong with anything he says, and Qbking's videos are always spot on as well. To be safe, I would do one of those. Back up all your apps and your homescreens and go from there.

The ei22 method is the same method for el30 and it most defenitely requires odin... but you don't lose any data...

Read the Auto Root thread, it will give you pointers to get EL29 rooted.
Basically just flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature to get root. If you want CWM, use the Auto Root package, Option C, to install EL29+CWM-Rogue.

well for some urge, i just want newest bootloaders, official untouched software loaded onto my phone. I'm finding these ROMs to be not as good as stock. For example dialer codes on deodexed ROMS can't do "*#0*#". I just want temp root to gett rid of bloat, apply the tethering mod, and then remove root. I just dont want my files to be pre modified or touched by someone.

There is no root exploit available in the way you want at the moment. However, I can assure you that if you flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click, then do whatever cleanup you want, then use Auto Root Option B to unroot, you will be at 100% stock Modem, Kernel, and ROM (except for the changes YOU made)
I'm not sure the distinction you are making is really significant, as adding 3 files to the ROM, doing your thing, then removing them isn't going to result in any "changes" in behavior, certainly not the ones you listed above.
The packages I put together are not custom ROMs. They are the minimum needed to get root. Nothing else is changed. The changes made to add root are completely reversible by running Option B in Auto Root.

How come people installing AIO over your EL29 are having issues compared to those who put AIO on Calk's pulled odex stock EL29? Those type of discrepancies get me frustrated. I'm not saying anything is wrong, but idk :/
the issues on the pre-rooted EL29 can be pointed out in the AIO thread

I think i found a way to try out tomorrow.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
I can use that to keep root after taking an OTA. so i can use auto root from EG30 stock and use that app to preserve root with the OTA
A review from the app:
"Kept Root After Upgrade to Sprint Epic 4G
Epic 4g is the Sprint version of the Galaxy II. I installed the app before doing an OTA upgrade today. I backed up root. I did the over the air upgrade, no more root access. I opened OTA RootKeeper, pressed the button for restore, and I have root again. AMAZING!"

I don't know what the issue is, but I run MD5 checksums against the product of the EL29 OTA updates against the pre-rooted EL29 and it is a 100% match.

HAHA exactly how I felt. Because of Sfhub's work, I was able to easily root, install CWM + EL13 and finally the Unamed ROM.
I could not in a million years imagine having to write the code or issue the commands to make all that happen.

I agree with you completely 80% of threads on xda are usally user error. Do you know how much actual reading you would have to do the skim through the nonsense people do. If you are running Blazer and flash and AIO for Calks - guess what you may have issues. These are the people posting that nonsense...sfhub dont drive yourself crazy since if he temp roots or regular root he is still changing files ......**smdh**

a lot of XDA links are down so i suggest using the stuff on theunlockr.com it's pretty direct
dl kies or drivers (personally i just dl drivers)
run odin and flash CWM
you can then flash a rom to get root or flash superuser to get root.

I did the 'unlockr' method but it took me like 6 tries to get su installed through CWM.
Keep trying if it fails. It will eventually work.
It isn't too much different from the other methods floating around the forums. Links work which is always a plus as someone else has mentioned.

No it looks like he loaded an old sgs4g file on his microsd or something because he use to own one..
anyways.. it looks like your phone is just doing a bootloop. if you have a backup just nandroid restore.
Not sure what this sgs4g file is? is it a ROM/Kernel? or some backup data?
if you flashed a ROM/Kernel.. and you're only getting boot loops you're fking lucky. Flash a t989 ROM/kernel and it should fix it
if you just restored some data. just wipe your data and caches/dalvik cache

Easiest method, which I just used myself today, is the ZergRush Exploit.
You won't be able to install custom ROM's because this method does not install a new Kernel with Recovery. But it is the easiest method I have found and gives you ROOT if that is all you are looking for. It can be found through the stickies, but here is the link.

From 1st hand experience on a T-MO GS2 (and also what others have posted), the ZergRush has fewer successes on the T-Mo units. I tried ran it last night on a new phone and didn't do anything. I ended up using one of the other rooting methods. Not sure if it's hit or miss, or what the issue may be.

This method doesn't work for rooting the new 2.3.6 any more. Apparently they fixed the ZergRush exploit. I have the T989D Telus version of the phone. I believe it was running 2.3.5 and it work beautifully.
