[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
The only way I was able to get this root was to substitute "home" with "users"

i.e.

cd /home/myusername/Downloads (No)

cd /users/myusername/Downloads (yes)

good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] simply dave:
This worked. Then I got to the last step and got this message:

I typed in "heimdall detect"

And got this in return:

Again, it may be the usb connection. Has anyone experienced this as well?

My USB charger came in and now my device is detected. I go through the commands and finish with the last step but my phone doesn't go through a reboot like in the video.

Anyone out there can help with step-by-step help? Thanks! I'm frustrated.

Well, you didn't mention that in your previous post! Very misleading. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Dave,

Assuming adb is up and running on your Mac you can just follow the commands one at a time and you will get where you wanna be. Make sure usb debugging is enabled on the device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] simply dave:
Once again it came down to user error. I forgot about the debugging. :facepalm: Not sure why it isn't automatically enabled and a little more user friendly in reminding you to turn it on/off.

Thanks again for your help and for everyone who chimed in.

This is from 2011 may be it doesn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
Did you set up adb? Can you type adb devices from your terminal and get a result? If not....you need to search a little more and figure out how to edit your default bash string ( I think this what it's called...it's been a while) I'm fairly certain that adb is required to make heimdall work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Well since this guide was written by one of the original developers for the E4GT when it was still running early Gingerbread builds and is now almost 18 months old... I would say, no this guide will not work on ICS or JB builds.

+1 vote to have this thread closed and archived.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
I beg to differ. I used this the other day on my laptop with GB08. Granted, not everything was successful, but It did download despite a bad USB cable. I even got to test out a pitifully broken GB08. (All the apps made my phone restart.) I was successful in flashing the FL24 modem after I got a decent USB cable. Also, several ROMS don't use "zimage" for the kernel. you just have to replace filenames as necessary.

The thread is old, but the steps are still mostly the same. you just have to get the 1.3.1 version of Heimdall, and run it with supersuer permissions. Also, you might be missing dependencies. gDEBi had to install a few packages to get it to work.

You can also get your kernels and stuff from RWilco's repository. I've never had a problem from there.

If you guys still want a tutorial that works on the current builds, I can make it, but don't ***** at me for starting a duplicate thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
This guide is for rooting... sure it might tell you how to use Heimdall, but it doesn't have anything about how to root these newer builds.

What you would need on top of what this guide covers is a custom kernel which you can use Heimdall to flash, SuperSU zip to flash in the custom recovery, and either a stock kernel zip or tar to flash back in order to boot the E4GT past the splash screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
But it still has you download a kernel that's already been rooted. I guess I just can't see the difference between downloading a GB kernel and downloading a JB kernel. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
You don't need a "rooted" kernel in order to obtain root access. You need the su binary in the ROM and the Superuser or SuperSU app. Without the binary you won't have root access.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
What's this about our Touchwiz ROMs not using zimages?

It's the AOSP ROMs that don't use zimage. They use a boot.img

And you shouldn't be renaming anything, only extracting if needed then flashing as is. I'm just looking out for you man. Don't give yourself a BLOD brick that is unrecoverable. You'll be extremely upset with yourself once it happens. Trust me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mindstate:
I rooted my phone using heimdal..installed the heimdall 1.3.2 binary.. downloaded rooted kernel tarball, extracted the zImage...put phone into download mode plugged in and ran "sudo heimdall flash --kernel zImage" in proper directory, phone flashed rooted kernel with agat recovery, and viola..

i don't get what all the confusion is about.:confused::confused:

First of all do you want custom notification sound or select a stock one? the stock one is working good you can select what you want and its working, but if you want custom notification sounds put it in /system/media/audio/notifications with root explorer or with any file manager with root access.

Hi,

i've flashed a non-deodexed jvs stock rom from samfirmwares.com before, so my phone does have the gingerbread bootloaders.

Then i've flashed the SpeedMod Kernel for JVS to be able to install this Deodexed JVS ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117579

Then I've reflashed the SpeedMod Kernel (because the mentioned ROM does have the DarkCore Kernel and I don't want it) and installed this modded TouchWiz 4:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056849

Then after setting up all my Apps and restoring my Backups I've realized that I can't connect to my Wireless LAN.

Here's a short explanation whatn I just did: Settings -> Wireless controls -> Enabled WiFi and it shows up the "Searching for WiFi Connections" notice.

After about 10 sec of searching it's disabled again.

Hope someone can tell me what I did wrong.

Best regards

Danny.

EDIT: After replacing the stock modem with vodafone's global one (from perkas file stash: http://perka.zapto.org/) the problem still exists :-(

Build your own theme. Its the only option. :D

Just grab the theme you want to have as your main theme, then grab the icons from the status bar that you like, and put those images in the correct place in the main theme.

Hey guys, I'm getting this phone via CL. The one I'm looking at guy says its preloaded with 2.3.3 via factory.

Question is if that's even possible since I know OTA for GB on this phone has never happened?

Also, to root it would I just Odin to GB bootloaders or Honks kernel?

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
It wont be preloaded with GB via factory

You will need to flash a leaked GB like kg4 so you can have the GB bootloaders then flash drhonks kernel and your set
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'd ask for a screenshot for proof since these phones haven't even gotten official gb yet.

Yes you'd be able to root it with honk's kernel. You can also follow my gb starter pack guide to get good bootloaders etc.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Thanks guys. My only worry was that rooting and flashing would be different in case it is on 2.3.3.

But glad to know that I can still follow FB's guide to get to where I want it to be. I'm gonna let my beloved MT4G go for this so I hope I won't regret lol. Just wanted something different.

Appreciate the response once again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I doubt it would be a problem, since Odin would take care of everything. However, if the guy said it came preloaded with 2.3.3, you should probably make sure he's not giving you something else.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mackster248:
Sweet. Can't wait to give it a shot then!

Also, probably a stupid question. But since they're working on getting MIUI fully functional, does that mean CM7 is just around the corner since CM7 is the base of MIUI?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
to be honest, we thought we were going to get cm7 first because krylon and drhonk were working on it

the kernel was giving them A LOT of problems and slowed down development, im pretty sure they are still working on it however i havent seen any updates on their work in awhile

if not maybe some of us devs could start the cm project as well :D

Coming from the mt4g, I understand where you're coming from. You won't be disappointed, raver, dsexton, krylon, whitehawx, drhonk, and atoore, and anyone else I may have missed, are all very talented devs and make the phone worth the switch. So weather it be team acid, or team whiskey, you'll be happy.
