3. On smartactions app info screen, click the uninstall updates.


4.  Re-run the root tool from above again.

If you are having issues, try these steps.  (Thanks to machine73 on XDA forums)

1. Enable Smart Actions on your phone from "Manage Applications" from the home screen.
2. Uninstall ANY updates and clear ALL data and cache from Smart Actions.
3. Enter Smart Actions, Get Started>Next
4. Select Battery Saver Mode and Enable
5. Save and exit to your homescreen

9. When you get to the point where you are instructed to go into Smart Actions (I think Phase 3) and do the steps above (steps 1 - 5) and afterwards enter any key to continue.... GO AHEAD AND JUST HIT ANY KEY.... DO NOT GO BACK INTO SMART ACTIONS.
10. Root should continue process of rooting and rebooting without issue.
