WARNING! Rooting your device could easily and permanently screw up your phone, or in other words it will not be usable for anything other than a paper weight. And rooting your device may also void your warranty and may also be illegal where you live. Below if a video of how to root and unroot a Samsung Vibrant is located here. I rooted my Vibrant so I could test a bunch of apps that require root access.
The following instructions are modified from XDA-Developers.
Windows Instructions
1. Download the GalaxyS_Vibrant_One-Click_Root.rar application.
2. Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode: (MENU > Settings > Applications > http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifDevelopement > USB debugging = Checked )
3. You probably have the Samsung USB Drivers already installed. If your computer doesn’t recognize your phone when you plug it in via USB, try these Samsung drivers.
4. Extract the contents of the software you downloaded in step 1(GalaxyS_Vibrant_One-Click_Root.rar) to a folder.
5. Connect your phone to your PC via the USB cable and launch the file “T-Mobile Vibrant One-Click Root.exe” file. I checked the file for viruses. My tests came back clean.
6. Click the “One-Click Root” button. This will launch a command shell follow the instructions in the video.
