[HOW TO] Gain Permanent Root on CL14 Out-The-Box and Backup/Restore Customizations

[Brock1909]

good write up. my only problem is that nothing is updating. the SWupdater is stuck at the "UPDATING DO NOT DISCONNECT!"
and the update box says Ready.. but nothing is happening, been about 20 minutes...

yeah nothing happens for me. even unplugging and restarting phone has no trace of anything happening...damn this is a PITA to root for me for some reason, the Hero was so easy.

I was having the same issue but mine wasnt working because of other samsung drivers that was installed. I suggest going to add/remove programs and uninstall anything samsung including the update utility, restart pc then reinstall the utility and try again. mine worked instantly after i did that. hope that helps...an yess tryin to root this has been a real PITA

I have used the swu upgrade before and it worked fine in the past. Now it will not open the bin file? As many custom roms and cool kernels that Ive added to it, this just puts a wrench in my clock. Is this a common problem? because it just started when I had to redownload the ODIN or swu upgrade file???
