Root Samsung Galaxy Precedent In One Click [How To]
For those of you who are new to the concept, rooting your Android device allows you to do all sorts of advanced stuff with it that is otherwise not possible. You can install and use apps that require root access, install a custom recovery using ROM Manager, get access to the internal storage of the device and add/remove system apps, edit system configuration files to customize your device, and a lot more. To learn more about why to root your device, see our post here.
Convinced and ready to root your Samsung Glaaxy Precedent? Just follow the following instructions and you’ll have it rooted in no time.
Disclaimer: Please follow this guide at your own risk. AddictiveTips will not be liable if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process.
Requirements:
- Samsung USB drivers installed. Download USB drivers for 32bit Windows | 64bit.
- (https://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/stuff/Root/Prevail-Replenish-NEW-OCR.zip) One Click Root.
Instructions:
- To begin, download the root package from the link above and extract the contents.
- Make sure USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development.
- Connect the device to the computer via USB. If the drivers aren’t already installed and your device isn’t being recognized properly, download them from the appropriate link for your version of Windows and instal them.
- If you are on Windows, simply run the .bat file to begin the rooting process. Those of you using Linux or Mac, run the .sh file from the terminal instead.
- Once the script has finished executing, you may disconnect your device from the computer. Restart the device in case it doesn’t restart automatically by the script.
There you go – your Galaxy Precedent should now be rooted, ready and waiting for you to unleash its full potential. Credit goes to Shabbypenguin at Android Forums for bringing this method to us.

This didn’t do anything on my phone….

Followed all the steps but when the phone reboots the second time it does not have time to turn back on before it tried to load the software in … keeps saying failed.. please help ?
trying to download the one click zip but its saying nothing is in the compressed folder
Followed the directions step by step and it keeps saying, “failed.” any suggestions?
which bat file – where is it located
Another comment: This also straightened out the issue I had with Google Music. Hitting “Pause” wouldn’t do anything, I used to have to switch songs and mash the pause button until it stopped, but now it pauses perfectly! This rooting made my phone so much better! :DD (I’m on Straight talk also)
A quick restart after rooting restored the vibration and missing sound. Awesome job!
Worked perfectly! The only issue I’m having is that now my phone doesn’t vibrate when I hit the home key or any other buttons, nor when I hold to move an app. Help?
OK, Now thats its rooted….What can i do with it?
