do you want temporary root or persistent root?

For Temporary:

Step 1.

To get root privileges you need to have the Samsung Drivers for Windows installed, as well as the Android SDK with the Android SDK Tools component installed. If you navigate to your /tools/ folder in your SDK folder at the command line, and type "ADB DEVICES" and see your phone, your golden. Don't proceed till you can.


Step 2.

- Make sure Setting > Applications > Development > "USB debugging" is checked!

- Turn your phone OFF by holding the red end button until the popup appears and selecting 'Power Off'.

- Press and HOLD the CALL, TRACKPAD, and END buttons all at once. Sitting it on a table and using three fingers works well. Continue to hold ALL THREE buttons as the status bar fills, then flashes green. Now you are in "Test Mode"

- Connect your USB cable, and type "ADB SHELL" in a command line window to connect to your phones command line.

- Follow the commands below.

cd /system/bin
cat btld_testmode > ../btld_testmode
cat sh >> btld_testmode
cat sh > btld_testmode

- UNPLUG THE USB CABLE

- PULL THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE.

- Reinsert the battery and quickly press ALL THREE buttons again, as we did before to re-enter Test Mode.

- Plug in USB cable.

- "ADB SHELL" in again.

- Type the following command.

/system/bin/btld_testmode

- You will see the "$" command prompt turn into "#".

You are now root
