No problem...had a prerooted EC05 all ready for you. I think the drivers you got are bad. If you just hook the cable up, autoplay should not come on. Either glad you are happy and rooted!
[Epic 4G Android Development] h4kudoshi:
Yea not quite sure whats up, I did this on 2 different pcs, downloaded and uninstalled the drivers several times. But the odd part is that my internet goes down every time I connect the phone, then comes back up as soon as I unplug it.

Just glad odin worked! Thx again, it is much appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tamarw:
To get EC05. Every time my phone prompts for the update, I install it, but it hangs and I get the big Android/triangle with the exclamation point "splash screen." Then I have no choice but to reboot where I see clockwork, and I restart the phone, and I'm back with the old DC18. I'm sick and annoyed of Odin and don't want to wipe out the device. It would be a more practical option if it clearly restored data and widgets and SMSes without issue, but it's a pain to set up again and again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
So you would not be interested in Odin'ing the stock EC05 tar? It is here if you want it:

I love how rooting is such an interesting process for each phone...

Hopefully it will become a universal process one day
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It definitely could be an adventure. But with Odin and good backups, it gets easier every time.

I suppose that's the only option I do have at this point... unless we can try something that doesn't require a full wipe. I do have and use Titanium, but it's always such a pain to restore data.

There is a stock recovery tool in this thread you can try but I think it is for EC05 to unroot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Why are you rooting and unrooting? There must be a problem with the unroot procedure. Did you try the flashable unrooter from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904

The stock recovery file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tamarw:
I used the file you gave me earlier to flash back to stock: SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar

The root/unroot I used before and now are:

one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5 to root

one.click.stock.flasher.&.root.uninstaller-di18 to unroot

I hadn't tried that earlier DRockstar file (didn't even see it, to be honest).

Why would one click fail? :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
From the log you posted it is not gaining superuser access first. I though all of those needed an "SU" in the first line. I am not an ADB expert though. It can't hurt anything to add it to the first line of the bat file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tamarw:
I tried adding adb shell su and it doesn't look like that's the issue here. :( wish I knew what was....
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Me.too...it is above my pay grade now...LOL. I guess Odin is your only way to unroot at the moment. Try the one in DJRockstars thread.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tamarw:
No Bonsai. But yeah, that sucks that I always have to unroot via Odin. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] touchtaz:
I used one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5 to root my phone and it worked great. I need to take it to Sprint to get the screen fixed. I tried rerunning the script to unroot but it's not working. I went to superuser and cleared the logs, but it still doesn't work.

any advice on what to check next.

thanks

nevermind:

I edited the run.bat and took out the line IF "%ROOT%."=="." GOTO :Exploit in the :checkroot section

seems to have worked
[Epic 4G Android Development] mouseglider:
Stupid question, but doesn't One Click Root 1.0.1 uninstaller do the same thing? I don't know because I rooted the same way as you did, and have never tried to unroot yet.

Hoping I never have to unroot.

Root was not obtained after 60 seconds. make sure phone is connected and adb is working. If adb isnt root, reboot the phone and try running the script again.

everytime this happens I must restart my phone and pc, I try again and still the same thing.

Alright I need some help, I'm not new to hacking phones or rooting but I am new to rooting samsungs, actually the rooting part was too easy, however can someone explain to me how in the world I can boot into recovery? I tried it, and it just bricked on the samsung screen. Any help would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Hold these buttons together holding camera first, adding volume down, then add power button. Hold all three until recovery comes up.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Android Development] driguez:
So the quick boot app doesn't work with the epic? That's what I used and twice got stuck on the samsung screen leading to odin + reroot, twice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It depends on the phone and the ROM you are on. It mostly works fine for me but I do not use it to get into recovery because on a ROM with journalling off it may corrupt data, which is probably what happened to you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] driguez:
I pretty much ran the root script on this thread, it's the ROM the phone is running now. I'll try the 3 finger salute to see if that does it. Journaling? Man gotta get myself to read on samsung hacking lol. It is safe to say I'm lost.

Unless bonsai has done something exceptionally special unknown to the rest of android, then all one clicks and any other method outside of odin/heimdall, will be moot with stock gingerbread. ratc and gingerbreak have both been patched, as of EE03.

The only rooting method I've seen in use for galaxy s gingerbread, is using odin/heimdall to flash a rooted kernel and/or cwm.

stupid noob question

New to rooting and this seems to be the easiest one. Samsung Epic 4g on Sprint.

Here is the big question that I have. Read forever on this forum and didn't see the answer.

If I One Click Root my Epic, do I have to reload everything or does it just change something and leave all my apps alone.

Thanks in advance.

It wont do nothing to ur apps it just roots it and install clockworkmod and super user

I've read and read and my head is spinning :confused: - sorry if this is has been asked before - I have three questions:

1) I have a stock odexed EC05 rom and kernel rooted via cmw 2.5.5 - can I simply install the Bonsai MasterKey unlocker system over it?

2) Do I have to wipe cache and Dalvik cache 3x times - and what does the wiping "actually" do

3) If I do install/flash this, are you saying I won't have to reinstall any programs and all my system settings, alarms, etc will remain in tack? Or will it be different because I already rooted with cmw 2.5.5?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Wiping 3x is to be sure *no* residual data is left that might possibly negatively affect your phone. In other words, its precautionary. I only wipe caches once each when I have to, but I always do data 3x. Idk about the bonsai recovery question though, I use regular cwm 2.5

[Epic 4G Android Development] mouseglider:
Wow you are fast! :D You answered before I finished adding two more questions!
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Depending on how their recovery is set up, most likely you can just flash the zip in 2.5.0.1 and it will thus replace it with 3.0.2.8 or whatever they based it on.

Wiping those ensures a solid and clean base upon which you are flashing. More detail would be required for you to fully understand, but basically your caches store previously used information which is linked to the system and your data. By wiping it, you are erasing these tidbits and clearing them so that they don't cause any issues further down the road. This makes for a clean flash and thus whatever you are flashing will work like it is supposed to.

But honestly, this thread should be left to die due to the fact that it is no longer relevant and noobnl is not a member of the Epic community like he used to be. Hence why it was un-stickied. The one-click from Rodderik and DRockstar is the current standard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I don't agree with you there. Noobnl is back around, if you don't believe me, look at his post history. And 2, this is the way I just rooted 2 weeks ago. I say, the more options, the better. My personal opinion fwiw

I use it cwm 2.5.1.0 from cwm 2.5.5 zip and also just installed it on my wife's 3 week old new epic and it works perfectly for the both of us. We are extremely happy with it.

I also hear there are some issues and key use differences when you use CWM 3.0.2.5 and Bonsai Recovery and also they seem to have some issues although very slight and only under certain circumstances.

So although I like to read about the cutting edge, both my wife and I need a super reliable daily driver recovery system. So unless there are no glitches and everything is perfect, let this thread live for others not so adventurous with our daily drivers. FWIW IMHO, I am a happy camper. :D

One Click Root Fix for Phone Not connected.

Here is for all of those with "phone not connected error and also adb not found or couldn't execute adb script. Here is the fix I did!

After countless hours. 3 days of staying up all night and I am hoping to save every else the trouble! Things I did. Tried on windows 7 32 bit. 2 64 bit computer and and xp computer. All of them would say "phone not connect or adb error. Here are the steps I did to get it to work. This will take a little dos knowledge. I take no credit for this one click root. I am a self proclaim phone rooter. LOL. I am just posting this because I had alot of trouble and somebody else may have the same problem. I read through the forums and googled for a fix for these to errors but no one had these steps that I did to make the rooting process work. Please Please I am not asking for any donations just thanks me so I can post and have more permissions on XDA. This is my first Post in a reply because I can't post.

Step 1. Download the current version of the One Click root for Epic.

Step 2. Windows 7 64 bit found the drivers for me but you may have to download it. They have the link in the One click epic root thread.

Step 3. Connect your phone.

Step 4. Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> than right click on command prompt and run as administrator.

Step 5. Make sure you are on the root of the C: drive or your Windows C Drive. You may have to do cd.. twice or even 3 times.

Step 6. cd into the whole epic root folder you extracted on the root of the C drive.

Step 7. You should see adb.exe if your type dir/w dos command.

Step 8. From there you should type "adb devices" without the quotes. If you see your epic in the device list. My "List of devices attach" was "D700567d513f" If you don't see it either the driver is not installed or try another cable. But you should see the device if you did all the steps.

Step 9. Type run in the command prompt and just follow the instructions.

Step 10. Your phone should be rooted. Go get a beer if you drink. I don't so I am getting coffee from starbucks :)

******For all boost flasher make sure the phone is back on PDA mode and not Modem mode.
