I can see the device with adb devices and ran run.bat and then run2.bat and it rebooted the phone but I don't think I have root. How can I test it? I downloaded wireless tether and it doesn't broadcast.

Adb needs to be installed for this work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] verks:
I'm still getting the offline error. This is driving me crazy. I do this modding stuff all the time and I cant get this to work for the life of me. I'm so irritated.

I've rebooted, reinstalled the drivers, killed adb in task manager, everything listed here. any ideas would help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
ive looked through a couple of pages, I haven't found any real answers for why it isn't working.

First off, do I need the SDK installed or is everything I need part of the download?

Second, I have run it a couple of times and gotten a couple of different messages. Can you post what a successful run looks like?

Edit: I just did it and it worked.

1. No, you don't need the SDK.

2. I lost the cmd window and wasn't able to c/p it, but I think this would be useful info on the first post.

I successfully used this method to root my epic 2.1.1 approx. 12 hours ago and all seemed fine...

However, after installing Launchpad from market----my epic went into a continous reboot every 30sec..

Performig recovery | wipe/factory reset now and rooting again now..

Anybody experience anything like this?

Randomly worked

I tried this several times... I got lots of device not found errors regardless of debugging on/card mounted/location of USB port. Sometimes I would get those errors from the start, sometimes partway through.

Anyway, after rebooting my phone a few times and retrying after changing essentially nothing, it randomly worked! Got root, Titanium Backup/Superuser confirm it.

Will there be a cleaner and smoother version? Not to many people know about this one and it doesn't seem like it's going well for everyone. I want a known one that will hot youtube or te unlockr or something where everyone knows about it.

and does anyone know if you can use the same 'lag fix' method used on the vibrant and original galaxy s? you have to be rooted to do that though.

So I found out from another post that Root Explorer does NOT work even after root. I tried Root Manager and successfully have removed some of the bloatware on the phone.

I used windows 7 x64 Pro - had to switch Usb ports around a bit... had to turn off debugging a few times..

Seemed ADB would stop responding

had to run the batch file a few times but it finally worked

so I wonder if there is any fix for Wifi tether for root users
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Worked perfectly for me.

Downloaded both files (win7 x64 + mod). Installed everything. Enabled USB debugging on phone.

Plugged in. Win7 found the drivers, but wouldnt install the adb right off of the bat. Disconnected and reconnected the phone, then it worked. Same USB port, same cable. The USB port I used is connected to a port in the back, to a 3 splitter, so, it wasnt plugged DIRECTLY into the mobo for me.

Ran the script, installed everything, rebooted, then opened up Titanium Backup and it said 'youre golden'. That was that. Got root manager, and been removing **** ever since.

Just now wondering what ELSE I can do with a rooted phone? I only ever rooted my Pre and it was a much difference procedure and I was able to get 'patches' and stuff. Any way to get like, the % at the battery bar sorta stuff? I just dont know a lot about android. Hell, even a link in the general direction would work great :D

Thanks for this root script. Awesome awesome!

i apologize if this was covered already, but is this froyo? I was under the assumption that 2.2 was, but just figured I'd ask before I do it.

Everyone seeing a lot of issues fixed by this version of 2.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
There are official Samsung drivers for this phone now (Google them, I am not allowed to post links) which should be used in place of the bootleg drivers. They seem to work a lot better and there's an installer. No need to guess whether you need 64 or 32 bit drivers etc. Very n00b friendly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Fail. I award you a Fail. This is not Froyo. This is not an Android update. Have fun with your bricked phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] specialk0324:
Easy as pie

After a few days of back and fourth, reading everyone else's problems (albeit not really their fault) I was really on the edge about doing this and risking the possibility of bricking my phone. However, after plugging into the correct USB ports, installing the correct drivers, and updating to the most recent SDK, everything went so smoothly. Thank you so much for trying to make this is easy as possible! I easily installed term emu, titanium backup, and will start to remove unwanted apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vicvega:
This is my first post after being a member for many years using WinMo never had any issues flashing ROMS/HardSpl etc. This being my first non WinMo the root was super easy and wifi tether is working great! All I had to do was READ! Im glad I switched.

Hello Guys,

hey bungholio,

http://gizmodo.com/5543853/what-is-froyo

Android 2.2 = Froyo

so I think my question was legit since the thread title says "v2.2.4".

I'm not new to rooting, did my wife's evo the long way.

Thanks for not answering the question.

[Epic 4G Android Development] aztecjester:
Ok... first off: complete noob at rooting or anything of the like.

To the point, I can not get this to work to save my life. I belive my main problem is that my computer does not install the drivers properly (tested on two different windows 7 64 systems). This leads the run.bat to output device not found four times and then hang at that point. My other issue is that the download link to get the drivers is broken at the moment. So am I up a creek without these drivers? I tried on the samsung support site and got the drivers from there and windows still will not recognize the device. How do I fix?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Epic 4G Android Development] deviant.one:
Ok, I was having the same not connecting problem that alot of others are having and tried all the diff drivers and every usb port on every pc I have (3 7 x64 and 1 xp x32) to no avail. So I decided to mess around was trying new things and I went into data mode and realized for some reason my epic was not set to PDA and as soon as I changed that it worked immediately for me. For anyone having problems connecting to any pc try this

unplug your phone

go to the dialer and type ##8778#

then make sure UART is set to modem and USB is set to PDA

Then just back out to the home screen and plug in your epic

Hopefully this works for others as it was my solution after hours of getting very pissed off.

How do I remove the root? Will a factory reset fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
You start by reading the full OP
[Epic 4G Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
It was a simple question and takes less effort to answer yes or no than to say read the original post. BTW, I have 2.2.1 and not the latest version so I'm sure it's different.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Actually I dont think it is, seeing as it just replaces the stock bootlogo and whatnot associated with the root exploit.

So Im GUESSING that the uninstaller will work fine.

OR.

You could always install the updated root OVER the current existing one (which many users in this thread have claimed to done with 100% success) and THEN run the uninstaller, which obviously, would work so the current version.

See. Reading DOES help doesnt it? Stop being mad that someone would go through the time of ACTUALLY responding to your issue - by telling you to RTFM.

So to answer your question - a factory reset, I dont believe, will remove the root, as I think it modifies the files involved hidden in your phone. I could be wrong. But your BEST BET WOULD BE TO RUN THE INSTALLER.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
The root is the root and if you read you will learn not just ask. I included the information for YOU so you DID NOT HAVE TO NAVIGATE away and take the precious time out of your life to figure out the YES OR NO you would have gotten. Ungrateful at the best
[Epic 4G Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
I have read through a lot of this post and like I said I don't have the 2.2.4 so will the uninstaller work on 2.2.1? This was not answered in the original post. I guess the best bet is to download the files and return it to factory stock before I return the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xaeonis:
Read my post idiot. It contained the necessary information for you to make an accurate decision. And yes, you should probably return the phone to factory settings AND remove the root to return the phone.

God. People who dont pay attention annoy me. I 100% agree with rjmjr69.

I'm having similar issues. WiFi worked perfectly before rooting, but after rooting it, it stopped working. I've since unrooted it to get the WiFi to work again, but ever after that, WiFi still does not work. Anyone have any idea about what's going on and how I could fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullet2300:
did you guys try the latest root? no problems with wifi for me on that..
[Epic 4G Android Development] shawnbeonkey:
Yeah, assuming the original post is updated, I used the latest one. 2.2.4.

EDIT: Just tried re-downloading the files from the original post, and then re-rooting the phone. No dice. To clarify, it'll still connect to a WiFi network and act as though things are fine, but when it comes to actually downloading anything, it doesn't work. A browser page will simply timeout, and an app using data will come up with an error. It's not my network, as I'm typing on a laptop connected through the same WiFi network.

EDIT 2: Just completely reflashed my phone, and not even that worked. I'm pretty much completely lost as to what's going on....
[Epic 4G Android Development] travo:
Worked perfectly on win7 64

Just followed the instructions on original post, and it worked great.

Note: Have patience, it took almost 5 minutes, with the 1st part happening in a few seconds, then a restarting adb message for about 4min, then some stuff, then a click anywhere to reboot phone message.

After reboot, All was cool. Tested for root with Titanium.

Can we get superuser put into this as well? Or has someone found a way to flash it yet?

So this really doesn't answer the question smart @$$. "I'm guessing the uninstaller will work fine" and "a factory reset, "I don't believe", will remove the root" and "I could be wrong". Sorry but those are not definate answers by saying I guess, I believe, and I could be wrong. Any idiot could have come up with a gee I guess, I believe, and I could be wrong answer. Now that I have found the answer I can simply tell everyone that asks this question to follow the guide to restoring the Epic back to stock without being a smart @$$. Sorry I don't mean to sound so rude to someone with so many posts (3) and as much experience as you but next time know your answers before coming on here and calling someone an idiot. Any questions

Finally got root.

At first I kept getting the device offline error in windows 64-bit when I ran the run bat file.

I uninstalled the samsung epic drivers (Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.800.0) through control panel and reinstalled them.

This time I plugged the phone to the computer with usb debugging unchecked, windows installed the drivers, and then mounted the sd card.

Unplugged the phone, turned on usb debugging, connected to the computer, windows installed the drivers (froze the first time so disconnected the usb and reconnected it), and then mounted the sd card. Then I was able to run the bat file without errors and get root.

Thanks for the root method!
