Can't Connect To PC

So I went ahead and did the odin root per ff18 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 everything went fine and it passed and I'm rooted, su installed, double checked with root checker (it's rooted), went back to this thread for auto root to install the cwm recovery (option d)

So I run the autoroot bat and it comes up but it will not see the phone. Says no device connected. Now i searched for hours on how to disable usb storage on ics, tried mtp, tried camera mode nothing,

downloaded usbswitcher from the market (which worked btw) tried that method and it still didn't work. This is all on the same comp that I used to root. I even tried to dl cwm from his site and put it on my sd card, booted into stock recovery and selected the zip file then got the red triangle, so just pulled bat and rebooted (which was prolly stupid), everything back to normal still rooted. At a loss on what to do now. It still boots into stock recovery. In rom manager it has no option so Epic Touch for installing CWM.

Yes I did ran both in administrator mode, when using usbswitcher PC will "mount drive e and f" nothing in files but autoroot app will still NOT see device connected.

Any suggestions would be greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance and mucho respect to all you developers and smart mf's.

UPDATE:

So after a few hours rest, I came back, unistalled samsung drivers, kies, and then re-installed them. Used usbswitcher to change to mass storage mode, made sure it was off and then connected to pc. Ran autorootsfx as administrator it then recognized phone and worked. It installed agat recovery and it's running a back up as we speak.

Thanks to all you smart mf's!!

sounds like alot of you having issues with loading FF18 and then going back after root and flashing option D to get CWM... I only want CWM to flash some APKs and Hot SPOT hack.. I think I have understood that I can use ODIN mobile with its build in CWM to do this. Sounds like less of an issue and if this works I would rather do it this way... Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gall0249:
This may be a dumb question and I apologize in advance, but if I have the official sprint FF18 release am I able to root? Or has that not been figured out yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikeyscislo:
Two questions:

1) I can't uncheck the "MTP" box when I plug my phone in via USB. I'm on rooted FF18

2) if I run option D "FF18+CWM-agat-src", I will be able to flash CM9 zip from SD in CWM like I have on other devices, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spongaweb:
Im in the same boat when i got my replacement, but need to get hotspot working and need to know which option to select or steps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nuxbag:
You click on the ff18 link in the op then use odin to install it come back here and use option d if you want cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
sfhub,

Thanks for all of your SGS2 posts & tools! Huge help!!

Just rooted & flashed CWM AGAT & have a question...

While booted into CWM AGAT recovery, when selecting "reboot to bootloader" from the "reboot menu", the device reboots into the ROM. Is there a reason for this or a way to boot into the bootloader, as on HTC devices? My apologies if I am missing something simple here...

A huge thanks to QBKing77 for his clear & concise videos as well!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmonger11b:
am I missing something on this? I have tried about 4-5 times running the full zip through cmd prompt and after each time I do not have busybox or su installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
In the process of starting from a clean FF18, I just loaded AGAT's src kernel through option D. The kernel version now says, in part, "-dirty AGA+v.0.1.1 #2"

Is there any significance to the word "dirty" in the version?

Thanks in advance,

Foulwx

Also, to dmonger11b: I think you have to be rooted first. The autoroot program only rooted the very first couple of versions like EG30/31. I recommend sfhub's one click files to install root, then come back here and install a CWM version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ellerbestyle:
My Buddy has this phone and I am going to root it for him. I just want to make sure I don't mess his phone up. He has the SPH-D710 but not sure what else I need to know so I can do it right.

I guess I mean what modem and stuff like that. I am not a noob at rooting but never rooted a samsung phone. Just need to be pointed in the right direction, please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReggieTee:
I flashed FF18 on my wife's E4GT and it's getting horrible battery life. Android OS usage is consistently over 90%. In trying to go back to EL29 via sfhub's One Click, both my wife's and my laptops are not recognizing the phone other than charging. I got the drivers to install but it's still not working. Anyone have any solution? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Are you on EK02 or EG30? You can't root anything newer than that like this lmao.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
You don't give a lot of detail to work with here, but I suspect you are trying to run this package on a later version than this package supports. This is quoted from the the first post in this thread:

This guide is for directly rooting EG30/EG31/EK02 (NOT EL13/newer) Android for the Samsung E4GT using a 100% automated script.

If you want a Rooted EL13/newer+CWM use the appropriate pre-rooted ODIN thread [EL13/EL26/EL29],

then come back here and use Option C to install EL13/newer+CWM (NOTE: a GB kernel/zImage will NOT allow an ICS ROM to boot)

You would probably benefit from a careful read of at least the first 3 posts or so in this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasrich:
How would I unroot using this meathod? I am on an ICS based rom (calkulins) I do have my original GB backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digida:
I hope someone is able to help me out, I'm new to the E4GT and I'm stuck. My phone came with FF18 and I was able to successfully root the phone with ODIN. I know it is successfully rooted as I can use programs such as Titanium Backup and they all function fine and report that the phone is indeed rooted.

I now want to get the safe CWM recovery installed and I'm trying to use these procedures and it is not working. I am using option D.

During the process, almost every step shows the phrase "adb server is out of date. killing...."

I have followed all of the steps except making sure USB Storage Mode is OFF because I cannot find a way to do this. The settings that come up when I plug in the USB automatically turn on MTP and I cannot turn it off. The video tutorial I found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9gPljlBfDM shows that he does not bother with the step and it still successful so I'm not sure that's needed now?!

Does anyone know what I'm missing or have to do to complete this process of getting CWM on my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
Have you tried option B? Here's a link back to the OP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I would poke around in option E. It allows you options for ADB and mass storage. Obviously you can't create a nandroid first, but it might be prudent to create a Titanium backup beforehand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digida:
I figured out my issue, although I'm not exactly sure what did it. I had been using a laptop that had the Android SDK installed from previous versions and forgot about it as I had not used it for anything Android related in a while. This may have been the culprit, so I switched to another laptop that had never been used for anything. I still had some trouble as it complained that it was not finding the files it was putting on and it reference /SDCARD/000root/. So I thought maybe my SD card that was installed so I removed it. As soon as I did all this everything installed correctly!

Hello all,

Hoping someone can give me some guidance on this. I did an OTA update to FF18 about a week ago. Yesterday, I followed the [ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858 (FF18 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted) post to root my phone. I'm trying to install CWM on the phone following this posts instructions but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm choosing option D, option C, option G. It ran, worked correctly, rebooted my phone but CWM is not there. Anyone know what I did wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
And you know CWM is not there how?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
Put the phone into recovery mode:

http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch

Once there, if cwm is installed, you should see the cwm version noted at the top of the screen.

Hey sfhub. I realize you're still probably away but thought I let you know that the 'Enable USB Mass Storage' option doesn't seem to work on FH13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slimjonesy:
Im having an issue with this also. EVerything went great with the install of CWM, but when i try to boot into it, its not there. All i get is the stock android recovery. Any help???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I found I had another tool conflicting and got it to work.

After using the Autoroot and having it not work. I also tried to use the USB Switcher App [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch] to enable USB Mass Storage and it too would not work and only thing I had was MTP.

I then looked around my system and found I had ExTweaks [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.darekxan.extweaks.app] installed and it has a 'storage option section' and lo and behold it was set to 'force MTP'!

So just enable USB Storage mode there and BAM! Got my USB storage mode back! Now I can run my backup/copy scripts from my mounted phone drive(s) to my backup folders on my machine(s). I'm a backup nut.

So there you go. All works.

Thanks for all your contributions here!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slimjonesy:
I don't have anything installed that could be conflicting with the install oF CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hero_Guy:
....this wouldn't work on stock FH13 after updating through Kies huh?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Try using the Odin One-click by sfhub - Stock + Root [ using you PC], then add CWM+Aga_safe.

Then you should be good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slimjonesy:
That's what i did, everything worked fine but when i try to boot into CWM it boots right into the stock Android recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
So somewhere you havent installed a moded kernel with the custome recovery(CWM/Agat).

Try the Autoroot tool again. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Follow the instructions again it's pretty straight forward.

Run the 'runfirst.bat' then choose option 'D' then option G - 'install BootImg FF18-CWM-agat-src'

Let it completely flash and reboot your phone.

Once your phone is completely rebooted disconnect if from the PC and then shut it down.

Once completely off try to get into recovery again: press and hold the Power+Volume Up until you see the first Samsung logo.

That should get you to recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slimjonesy:
Thanks man. I'll try it again today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slimjonesy:

If you want to root FH13, overlay the ODIN FH13 (ROOTED) NODATA TAR using mobile odin or a one-click package - read this thread:

You can still use sfhub's auto root to push kernel/recoveries, but there are also ODIN methods for those as well.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bobvanjr:
I installed the Samsung drivers and the rooting file. I ran it and chose unroot. It looked like it did it's thing but im still on EK02. It went to a screen with a bugdroid and a yellow triangle when I tried to go to EL29 OTA.

I booted into CWM and chose restart and it did but I'm still at EK02.

I knew I never should have messed with this stuff.

From OP:

This guide is for directly rooting EG30/EG31/EK02 (NOT EL13/newer)

If you want a Rooted FB15/newer+CWM use the appropriate pre-rooted ODIN thread

In your case, that would be:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

The one-click Odin at this link will give you a FF18 (ICS) rooted stock . You can then use the package you found here to unroot (option B). You will then basically have stock OTA.

Can I use this to flash my FI03 with AGAT recovery back to FF18 Stock without any damage?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Your question is a little confusing.

What is your current build and what is your target goal?

(What Kernel/recovery / rom, are you running now and where do you want to end up?)

From the look of the question, you're on FI03 with an Agat recovery and want to go to stock FF18. If that's the case, are you trying to unroot your phone or just get away from the custom recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yazyazoo:
I am on FI03 rooted and with AGAT recovery. I want to revery the phone back to stock unrooted. I don't care what version of stock I go back to because I am going to sell the phone. So I want to go back to stock with stock recovery. So I saw an option in Autoroot here that says FF18 stock. I wanted to make sure if I flash back to FF18 stock option that I wouldn't mess up the phone since I am on FI03 with AGAT.

Is it safe to do so?
