Below you’ll gain access to the steps necessary for a rooting:

  • provide USB drivers for your laptop (download the ones compatible with the phone from here);
  • once they’re downloaded, they must be installed on it as well;
  • take the smartphone and perform a battery recharge if the device is low on battery life;
  • as a way to protect the handset’s data from harm, create a series of backups (or only one);
  • create, afterwards, a full NANDroid backup;
  • the laptop’s security programs should be disabled for the rooting;
  • the security programs used by the smartphone should be disabled, too;
  • enable USB Debugging on the Galaxy Gem SCH-I100;
  • the laptop’s version of an operating system must be Windows.

Step by step instructions

  1. The SRSRoot app has to be downloaded on the laptop used for this guide. Locate the file quickly by clicking on this link. When the page is open in your browser, search for a download button.
  2. When it appears before you, click on it; the download of the app can now begin. Allow this procedure a couple of minutes, then flash the app on your laptop.
  3. After you also open it there, find Settings and activate the option under it; its name is Unknown Sources.
  4. USB Debugging is going to need an activation, too. Only enable it if you failed to do so for our instructions above. The plugging of your Samsung SCH-I100 to your laptop should be your next concern. To connect the two, use your smartphone’s USB cable.
  5. This is the next step: once the connection’s been established, start the phone’s rooting. Make this happen by enabling the appropriate option; in this case, Root Device (All Methods).
  6. [sc name=”banner-jos”]The rooting shall now do its own thing; this is going to take less than 15 minutes. If, on the contrary, the process is lengthier (over 15 minutes), you’ll find that redoing the steps helps.
  7. After getting out of trouble, you’ll have to restart your handset. Look for Reboot System Now to actually help the phone get back to life. After that’s done, the Galaxy Gem SCH-I100 can show you what this dedicated app has brought for it.

The rooting may result in disappointment; or you liked your phone better before. If either of these situations appears, let the SRSRoot revoke the root access for you.
