waste of time. who in their right mind would try to root closed source Touch Whiz? Made to not be rooted, it's about impossible to properly port any custom ROM and the files in the post will always result in a boot loop due to a mismatched security key that Samsung installs on every device to perevent root access. So, why would you want to try this I have no idea. Get a Nexus if you want to root. Skip this closed source junk Touch whiz.
