Big thanks to RoadRAGEN for helping me figure out an ext4 issue! Odin this to get Odexed stock EG30 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.18.4.

This does not wipe data.

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.

I have only tested this with the stock kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel.

Download​

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).

1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder

2. Open odin

3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)

4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)

5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.

6. You do not need to choose a pit file.

7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Odexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)

8. Hit start. It will do its thing.

9. If it fails than try a new cable.

10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

Yes. That is what I have done in testing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
So with this we will have as stock of a ROM as we can currently have, yet still have root and busybox? By stock, I mean the default, out of the factory stock ROM which many claim does not have the LOS issues? Just confused somewhat...

Dude, major win here. Good work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
How bad is it if you put the the tar file in the bootloader spot by mistake? It still worked and seems to be fine. Im rooted with stock kernel.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Nothing is bad as long as you can get into download mode no matter what you did. If it won't work you just odin it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
That is correct. It is a stock file system with root and busybox. This is not a kernel so it will not replace that or any issues with that.

It doesn't have CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
can I flash this over my stock rom and get root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yes you can. I haven't actually tried it with the OEM kernel cause I was already rooted but it should be the same as the stock kernel that was pulled which I have tested on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
I did it. Seems to be fine. Im having some wireless issues afterwards but that may be just where I am at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This is where I am confused a bit. if I flashed zedomax v3 to get root then Odin this that has root, will I have root in 2 places? I read that zedomax has root in the wrong place so I am not sure what will happen. I put bubby's stock kernel back on here so will this override zedo's root and keep yours?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
why so many threads for one rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravenstarr:
One is odexed...one is deodexed....and one is the Rom + Kernal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I am not sure about that either. I have not used the Zedomax kernel. But if you flash the other kernel it will override and keep my system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok Crawrj, where would root be located when I search with Root Explorer vs where zedomax put his meaning can I delete the root from the places where his kernel put it and where exactly is that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Replacing the kernel would wipe his root. He built root into the kernel so you can't delete it out without replacing the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok, I went from zedomax v3 to stock kernel and I still had root. Then I flashed yours here. Doesn't there still have to be something remaining from zedo's if I had root after stock kernel or did that get replaced by this? I am only asking because Tegrak is failing to load the overclock module
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sbrown2225:
Ok maybe this has been answered but as of right now I have not rooted the phone and it is completely stock. Will this method root my phone? Asking do to this being labeled as ODIN and not Root little confused I know ODIN will provide you the method to get root I believe but not sure if this will give you root being that I am stock barebones

Yeah this would wipe his system changes out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
yea i have stock kernel and cwm

but can I use a custom boot animation?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Not sure what you see asking care to elaborate? Flashing this will not remove cwm. Whatever kernel you flash last is what you use. So if you flash cwm kernel and then stock kernel you will be stock with no cwm. The stock cwm kernel is based off stock source adding cwm and boot animation support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
Thanks for the links.

Slight off mark question- I had an Epic and have the drivers installed for that and Odin as well. Does installing Keis for the new E4GT mess up the old drivers or are they the same thing? I will want to keep Odin for the Epic since my wife has that phone now.

I'm gonna give this a try tonight.

Yeah, Friday night and I'm at home rooting...:o

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Johnkim, I was in the same position as you...was dying to root this awesome phone. I rooted my phone using Crawjr's DEODEXED method, not ODEX. Very simple to do and haven't had any issues. No LOS and have tested a few apps that need root access. ODIN is the best tool for us Samsung guys. Been rooted for about 5 days...no issues.

Got it rooted smooth as silk with the deodex version, quadrant showing 3490 but, having issues getting either wifi tether apk or barnacle apk from market to work. Whats best time to call you since you work nights and probably sleep during the day. Borrowed a pc and all is well. Superuser working as expected but my root explorer apk keeps force closing after getting access from sper user.ANY SUGGESTIONS.

Thanks again,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Try clearing data on root explorer or reinstalling. It works good on mine. I would suggest flashing the wifi hotspot hack as it is the best tether option available imho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Thanks for the info on root explorer. Tried going to manage apps and clear data was grayed out. I removed it and redownloaded and all is well. Next, try the hot spot hack and will post.

Great work.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

I used quick boot app from market and selected recovery to wipe cache/dalvik before applying the hot spot hack and i am able to use the vol up and down to toggle between options but the power button on the right side does not respond when i push it in. I took the battery out and after a minute the phone powered back to the same recovery screen. Am i bricked or how to get phone to reboot?? I tried the usb jig but no luck.

Thanks,

P.S. I see a gray triangle with exclamation point as background of screen and the following message:

E: update file is backed up: reportedted

--updating application...

Installing apks.

Succesdfully updated application.

Ian B
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Not sure what that means(the exclamation point) but this method does not give you CWM, I'm thinking that you must have gotten into the stock recovery. You're not briked, if you can get into download mode, you're fine. To get to download mode...just keep pressing vol down + power button till it gives you the download screen. You may run into a warning screen, just press up and you will access download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
You can call me when I'm on my way to work between 1230 and 1pm. Or late morning around 11.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Ok got it back to work, instead of hitting the power button on the right, you need to hit the the front bottom left capacitor button to acknowledge the update and then hit the home button which will make the phone reboot. All is well and thanks again. Yes, i got into the stock recovery trying to wipe before doing the hot spot hack. I guess we need to wait till we get a cwm on this kernel before doing the hot spot hack as well as the battery symbol mod.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:

I had this problem and narrowed it done to the tethering framework.jar.

Yep same here. Have to use the framework.jar from the zip file and that one works great. The one that is attached to the post seems to be messed up.

The deodexed or odexed flashes weren't the culprit it was the hotspot hack for me.

anyone get LOS with this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
nope, as long as I run with the stock Kernel Bubby extracted (which I think is included)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lacs_on22s:
No LOS

Just thought I would let folks know, I was receiving loss of service at least once to twice a day (not as bad as others) using custom kernels (Zedo's and Bubby's CWM) and now that I've flashed this rom I haven't received LOS yet and I'm going on a couple of days now. I did experience the wifi issue (not obtaining an IP) however I flashed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1282420 and then reflashed this rom and it fixed the issue. FYI if I assigned a static IP, it would connect.

I've heard LOS is happening regardless if device is rooted or stock, just thought I'd share as I never experienced LOS on stock. My co-worker who is scared to root her Epic Touch has also never experienced LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
lots of us don't get LOS on stock kernel, and get it immediately upon flashing custom. But don't mention it, people get upset!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lacs_on22s:
Yeah sorry about that, I see that folks are touchy about that issue...our Devs are awesome and the fact that some people are trying to blame the community is a shame. It is a random issue caused by Samsung / Sprint and by no means was I implying otherwise. I love what these folks at XDA accomplish and greatly appreciate their efforts. My EVO wouldn't have been the same without XDA.

Deodexed roms are easier to theme and make changes to but you can simply use adb to change your bootup screen and you can also use UOT kitchen to change your battery percentage.

Also take a stroll over to the themes & apps section since they may have what you are looking for in a CWM zip file. For both odexed and deodexed

I could blow the OP! Thanks!

I don't mind the stock ROM so I decide to root without using a custom ROM. However, I experienced continuous incessant problems with every rooted kernel I tried. I never once has LOS on stock, but once I rooted, it was happening too frequently to keep track of. Then I even tried going back to stock and was just gonna say, 'F-it!' Finally did go back to stock, then wi-fi nor 4G WiMax would connect! Ahh!! Man was I getting pissed!

Then I flashed this and frankly was scared as hell! Being over 400MB I was sure the "This does not wipe data." was bogus. I backed up pics then went for it. The flash took almost 2 minutes. When it came back, there were all my programs and everything! 4G was good, but wi-fi still wasn't. So then I deleted the remembered network and tried again, and it worked!

Oh yeah and wi-fi tether works! Awesome!
