Using this tool, the latest in it is Agats ff18 cwm source. You could use this to install ff18, then flash Agats fi27.

Or you could use Odin or mobile Odin to flash fi27 and skip this step.

Just remember if you use Odin, you'll trigger the triangle. Mobile Odin won't cause the trigger.

@sfhub

Thanks again for everything you do for the community, your tools make customizing this phone as easy as it gets. :) I recently got a gtab2 10.1 (GT-P5113) and I was wondering if this autoroot tool would be able to manually flash kernels/recovery on other devices. If not, would you be able to guide me to make a tool for that device maybe using this as a base?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Lucky for us he helped others learn how to make the One Clicks and find ways to root the new builds. Sfhub's Auto Root tool was a huge deal. I used it dozens of times.

Thanks for the response rain, if he is still busy with other things, then we prolly won't be hearing from him yet I would think too.. hopefully someone knows how we would be able to implement an autoroot tool for other devices too then.. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Id just love to hear from him period. You always want to know how people are doing.

Any of the dev's could very easily tell you how it works on e4gt and taking that information you can probably get a dev on the device you want it made for to finish it off. The autorooter is basically one big batch script. The rooting part was just automating a manual process for an exploit that doesn't work anymore. The kernel installing is handled over adb. Find out how to do what you want in adb its pretty easy to write a batch script for that.

I talked to sfhub about writing a native windows executable for it with downloadable updates keeping the core app the same. He had the same thought but neither of us saw it worth pursuing at the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
He built the tool originally for the LG Optimus S then brought it over to the E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah I am aware. Other then saving some common operations there was no "bringing it over" necessary. He brought over experience, prior knowledge, and a willingness to help people. Thanks to the nature of ADB operations rather then having to deal with proprietary commands a lot of the work is the same. The recovery situation was different for this phone and of course that was one of his first posts on this end of the world. The nature of this whole thing wouldn't change much though if he was coding a native executable. Pretty much the same deal, writing subroutines for common operations and passing it all over to adb. Was just quicker to add new kernels keeping it as a script.

SJ The .exe version is just a self extracting archive, extract it. There is a batch file for each op will show you whats going on for installing the kernel image. I dont think i host the zips anymore still have them of course. Use 7zip to extract it.

flashing over the el26 zimage?

which steps it to the install batch, etc. In the end it triggers a reboot batch. When you make a call in the middle of a batch it executes everything in that batch halting as needed, then resumes the previous one until it reaches end. With as much as is going on sfhub wrote out common routines like any coder and reused them over and over. These are going to be the tasks you save over and modify the least between similar devices.

The install-common-boot for example You find alot of good examples if your diving head first such as calling another batch in the middle of batch with "call install-common-prereq.bat" and the 2 together have a good example of setting variables.

But here you can see where "actual work" is done to the phone:

Your making a call to adb the same what you would by hand, except your end user doesnt have to do it. If you have any basic coding knowledge and are doing this for windows just make a shellexecute() call with the same content to do it in code.

If you want to do it in batch files like he did learn that. Your going to need to be familiar with doing the operation you want through adb. Other devices (dunno about the tab) use recovery.img rather than the repacked initramfs. So while you will be installing kernels sure, focus for other devices will also split to flashing the recovery image. Your probably going to need to be familiar with writing shell scripts etc. Im a bit of a linux nub myself, I can follow directions but I wont pretend to know anything so good luck with that.

As for the e4gt its pretty easy to tack later kernels on to this. Out of respect no one really wanted to do it directly without permission. I doubt sfhub would mind if you used it to learn your solution to another device.

But unless there is a root exploit for the intended platform. You wont be making an auto root tool, you will want to call it a toolkit, an all in one toolkit something along those lines.

Before I get yelled at for not doing my research, my quick research led me here. You mentioned flashing fi27 instead, did you mean "FI27 AGAT_v0.6.8 with tREC_v0.2.2 11/07/12"? Can I just mobile odin that? and the backup without flashing another rom?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonydelante:
Sorry, I meant "and then backup without flashing another rom. Basically will flashing that kernel give me the new kernel and recovery and still allow me to boot without doing anything else?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
This absolutely helps me get pointed in the right direction for sure, I don't have very much experience in writing/reading code but I am always eager to learn about things that interest me. I am more of a website developer, but still have quite a bit to tackle in that realm too..

As for abd, I never really use it much, outside of sfhubs tools at least ;)

But I would really like to learn more about trying to build one of his tools myself too, but until then, I have some learning to do ahead of that too.. :) all good, I will for sure share and use the irc channels for ideas and troubleshooting for sure.. ;)

Thanks again rain, and maybe when I get started I can maybe bounce a few ideas off you?

Sorry been doing my best to figure this out, but I didn't want to screw anything up. So I have successfully rooted my phone using this method. I installed the EG30CWM Pack. Now I want to try to load Calkin's rom. Am I supposed to install it via CWM5 and then reload the EG30 stock? Or what? sorry I dont want to screw this up. Mind explaining how to get his rom on my phone without risk of LoS? That's what made me unroot my phone in the first place...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Yes install with CWM , Don't forget to make backup before flashing roms.

Remove ZImage from rom & rezip.

Drop rom zip and (Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT) zip onto sd card.

First Flash (Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT) then rom and your good to go EG30 stock kernel will stay in place no need to re-flash it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MikeC84:
So what if we wanted to flash a Rom without removing the kernel? Will it trigger the yellow triangle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
The yellow triangle was due to older odin root process.

sfhub root method takes that out of the equation.

Leave kernel in , take them out triangle wont make a appearance

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
I hit the Thanks button, but it's not enough. This was awesome. I rooted via a custom kernel previously and my LOSes have been nuts, plus I didn't have CWM. Today I set out to try to improve my situation and found myself on a path to this. Ended up flashing back to stock kernel via ODIN, then running this to get back root and CWM, and it was effortless. Plus I got my proper boot screen back with no yellow triangle. You rock!

Anyone seeing LOS after rooting with this method?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tpike:
I have had my touch fora week and got los for the first time yesterday evening while on the phone with 4g going (retained 4g). I used this method sunday to root. I don't think its related though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For FAQ section.

Will this cause LoS?

No, this will not CAUSE LoS. This is different than saying you won't see LoS.

Statistically speaking there will be some people seeing LOS because it is a problem in the stock firmware.

However, I don't see any mechanism for how this root method could cause, exacerbate, or dampen LOS, meaning if you are seeing LoS, you would see it regardless of applying root through this method.

The kernel is your existing kernel completely untouched. Your NVRAM is completely untouched. All that was done was to add 3 files to your /system. 2 of the files (su, busybox) are completely dormant until the user runs them. The 3rd (Superuser.apk) is just a database of who gets root permissions.

I can see no mechanism where these can cause or exacerbate LoS.

will this automatically reboot ur phone after you install "root" and also after i install root and i want to install cwm. do i reboot my phone and the run the script again? or do i install root then install cwm 5 in the same process? or i want to root my phone and have recovery to flash custom roms and themes? how can i accomplish this using this script?? thank you in advance for help??? nice script by the way, havnt used it yet, im waiting on my replacement phone and soon as i get it i want to root. just trying to figure this out!! thanks again!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
after file transfer it will ask you to confirm boot , Do so reboot will take place your good to go rooted.

After boot completed I disconnected for usb took a lookse around confirming busybox everything went well then plugged back in installed EG30cwm pack.

This method is so easy works perfect.

Still no LOS

Any word on the ability to use infrastructure wifi tethering? I need it for my Kindle Fire :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiwiBeans:
This is amazing - JUST what I was looking for. Was relatively quick and very painless. I especially enjoyed the progress updates/commentary about what the Zerglings were doing.

Quick question: I saw the notes about running SU and granting permissions, but after the reboot I ran SU from the app drawer and it started up/ran just fine. It's open and I didn't get any denied messages or errors... but I also never got the prompt asking me to approve running SU. Should I not have seen something or did I do anything wrong?

edit: I realize this question is weird as I'm asking is SU should request allowing SU to run... almost a bit of irony... but I thought I recalled this being the case in the past. Maybe I'm mistaken. I can tell you that I installed and ran Wifi Tether and SU DID ask for permission when starting and stopping the service, so I'm assuming it's all ok.

Thanks again, so much, for this!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
"Superuser" is comprised of a "binary" called "su" and an "app" called "Superuser.apk"

What you see in the app drawer is "Superuser.apk". This is a database of which apps are allowed/disallowed root permissions. It doesn't actually give you root permissions.

The program/binary that actually gives you root permissions (via changing your userid to root, ie userid 0) is "su". When you run this from "adb shell" or "terminal", a prompt will show up on your screen asking for permissions.

The reason some people miss it is because usually when people run "su" they do it from "adb shell" and their phone's screen is turned off due to inactivity. When they run "su" the prompt shows up on the screen, but it is turned off so they never see it. In the "adb shell" session, all they see is a long pause, followed by permission denied, making them think the "root" failed.

This confusion doesn't really apply to "apps" that need root, because when you run an app, your screen is usually turned on. This is an issue particular to how most people run "su", the binary, that manually gives them root.

Hope that clears things up.

Unless you think that rom is out of date, i'm extremely open to suggestions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Re-Calked is a great ROM however it is pretty out of date compared to the Jelly Bean leaks that have come out. FI25 was a leak, it was basically the same as FI27 but Sprint/Samsung selected FI27 as the OTA candidate.

If you want to run an ICS based ROM, I highly suggest sniper's Lightweight that he picked up where _dan left off around version 3. It is highly customizable and has an Aroma installer to make the installation process more like what you would see whenever you install something on the computer.

If you want to try Jelly Bean, garwynn will have GB08 One Click Odin packages which should be fixed and ready by the end of the weekend. There is also shadow god's JellyVerse which is based on the FL16 JB leak. There are many other ROM's that are just as good if not better than what I have mentioned. I personally have tried these and liked what I had. I do not favor any developer or their work. I give many thanks to all development for this device and if it weren't for the many developers working on new mods and the friendly competition to be the first to do something, we'd have a device that had only a few options as far as firmware to flash and enjoy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I do suggest flashing at least one Jelly Bean One Click so that you have the correct partition sizes. Then just follow the OP of the JB ROM you want to try flashing.

Should be either EL26 or EL29 recovery.

Then flash the ROM how it is mentioned in the OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JordanMitch:

From the OP in that thread yes. Flash the OC then after you are running FL16 you will have the new partition sizes so that you can then use a custom recovery such as EL26 or EL29 to flash whichever ROM you want to try.

It's actually looking like there are some GB08 custom ROMs coming out and some tweaks that would be better just because of the fact that the latest leak runs much better.
