Is there any reason why this would not let me update to froyo. I keep gettnig a error found in update.zip when installing with clockwork and default. I tried uninstalling this however it leaves clockwork installed and i think busybox is still installed as well. The superuser is gone however....

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skillset:
This is probably a noob question too...but it relates to my MacBook Pro. I have it plugged in to the USB port, I can pull up the mass storage no problem, but when I ./run.sh...

riginal one click made by joeykrim and one click installer made by noobnl and firon

busybox by skeeterslint

Press any key to continue...

Starting adb server

./run.sh: line 23: 11550 Bus error $adb kill-server

./run.sh: line 32: 11554 Bus error $adb start-server

Phone is not connected. Press any key to continue.

It doesn't show the phone as being connected. Ive tried it with USB Debugging on, off mass storage mounted, unmounted...

Am I supposed to be running something else as well that will help it find my phone?

I just used ClockworkMod3 and now my phone won't boot up, I just get the Samsung screen. I have the Epic. Please help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TechMuffin:
Worth it?

Is it worth rooting or should I just stick it out till the official Samsung/Sprint 2.2 upgrade? I don't really care about all of the rooting features (although overclocking would be cool) but who knows, they might come in handy. What I really want is 2.2 and this is probably a very noobish question but does this give it 2.2 Froyo? Also I would like to know if this wipes all data. I'll back up anyway but I still just want to know. I don't want to risk ANYTHING (like bricking or other damages), so I would like to know the risks and if it's worth it.

I tried rooting a friends phone and got into this mess too. I still haven't gotten a chance to straighten it out.

And while in recovery, I was unable to connect to it using adb. The factory reset program was unable to find the phone.

coming from the evo and most likely goin back, but i did finally get this badboy rooted. i had a little difficulty plugging, unplugging, plugging and unplugging, then plugging in the usb and Houston we have take off!!!! off to the roms i go. my advice to those of us that have problems with the drivers etc.... just dont get discouraged, even if u think u did everything right, start over n try it again from step 1. it truly works. much props to the devs that compile this stuff. i got a real kick out of watching this one click root work its magic. thnx to the op and all that contributed to this root method as well as all the others throughout the forum.

[Epic 4G Android Development] danasmith2816:
I have the same issue. Downloaded the recommended drivers, hook up the phone, the computer sees the phone and I can transfer files, pics, etc. But, when I try to root it says " phone not connected" Tried debugging and without debugging and can't get it to work either way. Do I need to go back to stock to do the 'one click root'? I'm running Froyo 2.2.1 with no issues, just thought I would like to try th e rooting thing.

Thanks for any help.

odin problems

Hey all - just wanted to pass along some troubleshooting that I ran across.

I tried to flash with Odin the DK28 (froyo sprint stock) so that i could root it with this. It would get hung up on factoryfs part. I ended up having to find an older version of odin (v 1.3 - 1.6 seems to be one that is around alot right now). I only checked the automatic reboot and did not choose a PIT. I also had to remove the .md5 extension and stick with the .tar

After this, the one click root worked perfectly, but just had a scare there for a bit! hopefully this can help someone else!
[Epic 4G Android Development] danasmith2816:
Just rebooted my phone, then rebooted the laptop with the phone still connected and the root process took off. I have also since downloaded Titanium backup. Is there anything else I 'need' to load to take full advantage of being rooted??

I have d/led and run CWM 2.5.5, but when I run it, it still shows 2.5.2.0. Is this normal, or did 2.5.5 not actually run correctly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:
this thread is extremly large, and looks like some of are having trouble with this. I know there are instructions , and i have done the instructions and followed the steps and it still didnt work, i then had to use z4 root.

after z4 root i tried to use rom manager to install cwm still nogo , so its something with my phone it just would never take.

So now , im just going to leave it alone. I dont want to make my phone mad at me i dont like it when its angry at me :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] tswtech2:

this aggravating me as well. i ahve done all the unplugging, and cable switching and still no phone detected shows. this would not be an issue normally because i can just use z4root to root it but i am flashing this to cricket an adb acess is a must. does anyone have a working idea of howe to get this phone to connect???

problems...

Im a vibrant owner, and ive been working with it for quite a bit now... trying to root a buddies epic and having problems... he has the updated 2.2.1 dk28 and i've tried everything i can think and it just keeps failing... got to the point where it installed superuser but we arent rooted... and the screen in run.bat goes so fast when it fails then disappears so i cant even read whats causing the fail. We've tried rebooting my laptop, his phone, switching between my cable and his, switched usb ports, debugging IS ON, phone IS MOUNTED, recognizes the phone, downloaded proper drivers, yada yada... anybody have this issue?

[Epic 4G Android Development] WestCoastGhost:
This is what worked for me...

Create folder on your computer desktop. Extract the download into the new desktop folder. Open folder, right click "run", then click "run as administrator" on context menu, a box will pop up, click "yes", a command prompt will open, press any key, give it about three minutes and you should be rooted....it worked for me anyway....

Well yesturday my touch screen stopped working so i went back to stock Dl18 cause i needed to fix gps lock anyways and flash back up to DK28. But now i cannot update clockworkmod to .2 anymore.

Also when i do try to update to .2, I get an error in clockwork saying that it can not find /recovery/log or something like that. And I tried going to CWM3.0 but it had the same error as .2. I have also tried rom manager but that just keeps setting it back to .0.

is it me or is this oneclick root a bit old? I started with the information in this wiki only for a friend to give me a link that ....basically does the same thing but installs CWM 3.0.0.5.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Robperri:
A little help so I don't have to hunt for sasquatch? Where's the most up to date method for rooting for the first time please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
The other sticky, the one with Clockwork Mod (CWM) 3.0.0.5, is the newest version of the one-click root and recovery. It will both root the device (which is needed for recovery anyway), and then flash the newest version of CWM. I would recommend using this as long as you want an ext4 file system, which is pretty much the standard now, as CWM 3 will automatically format /system, /data, and /cache to ext4. Otherwise use the one in this thread, which flashes CWM 2.5.0.1 that will not support ext4. Also, almost all new .zip files are using the edify style of update-scripts which is different than the old amend style in a few ways. Amend is now deprecated, so CWM 3.0.0.5 does not support amend scripts. Just a few things to keep in mind.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jaronow:
be careful about using cw 3.0.0.5 as the latest eb13 is rfs, it is not ext4 as Samsung doesn't use a ext4 kernel

Rodderik is making his overclock kernel compatible with ext4 currently and the new release and it should be out tonight so i would wait to root with 3.0.0.5 until then or you may have some unwanted issues

link to overclock kernel, you're going to want this

[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
This one click still works fine for EB13. No changes necessary.

The other one click root is if you want EXT4, which requires a custom kernel, else you will soft-brick.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Right now it doesn't matter, you can use this method or use the CWM3 method which converts your phone to EXT4. Personally, I am waiting a couple of weeks to go EXT4 on EB13 because CyanogenMod and MIUI should be stable soon.

Ok, I apologize in advance for being an "Epic Noob". I came to the Epic from an HTC Hero where there wasn't nearly as many options for file systems & root methods.

I've rooted my Epic with the one-click method in this thread. My question it's whether there are limitations to which ROMs I'm able to run with this method of root. I haven't decided on a ROM yet, so this may be too broad of a question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
2.5 is the green recovery. You need 3 if you want ext4 and the orange recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
This uses clockwork 2.5 and many developers are moving to clockwork 3. You may want to install that instead, but you would need to make sure you have an ext4 compatible kernel such as genocide. The easiest way is to use the odin that has a prerooted, deodexed, cwm3 version and then flash the genocide .03a kernel for optimal performance. From there you have a lot of rom options from dk28 but only a couple that are eb13 right now, but I know a few more are very close to release.

ok this does not work for fryo eb13. i installed rebooted and all was fine... or so i thought...

had to use oden .....
