That wasnt too too bad.

The "phone is not connected" may throw ya off.

First thing i did was go through my control panel (WINDOWS) and UNinstall anything and everything that had the word SAMSUNG attached to it.

Then i reinstalled the USB Drivers (64bit).

After you install the drivers, open the USB Drivers file and click SETUP.

Once setup is complete, plug your EPIC in and RUN.bat.

*IF YOUR PHONE IS PLUGGED IN AND IT SITS FOR OVER 30 secs or more, you may or you will get "PHONE NOT CONNECTED".

If and when you get PHONE NOT CONNECTED, UNplug and REplug, hit any key to continue.

If your phone is going through the root process and its sitting for 30 sec or more, it will say again "PHONE NOT CONNECTED".

UNPLUG and then REPLUG hit and key right away once or twice and you are finished.

For some reason the program thinks the phone is unplugged after so many seconds. It has to be done within 5-10 of phone connection. If not, UNPLUG and REPLUG and hit any key to complete...

Just a quick update on this issue. I did a little more research and just for the heck of it I moved the one click root folder to the desktop (don't think that had anything to do with the problem but it was suggested) and I also tried a different USB cable and everything worked!

My guess is that my stock cable has some sort of issue? Mounting and transferring files works fine but I kept having issues rooting with that cable?

Im going to post this here as well as in the mod thread that this problem spawned from.

Mod for EXT4 needs Clockwork with Redirector working. I have run the run.bat file over 10 times in both DI18 stock and DK28 Stock. In all cases the bat seems to run fine without issue. However, when I run adb reboot recovery, it goes into the samsung stock recovery.

I can access clockwork with the three button boot.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
What version of Recovery are you running? Look in Rom Manager it will tell you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kilmarac:
I downloaded and used 2.5.5 from this forum.

I have 2.5.1 which seems to be the most recent as far as I can tell? It works for me, but I know with the older version I had the same exact issue as you.

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] puppetmstr:
Same problem here. Its been awhile since I ran the run.bat. Had to close because it got stuck on "copy and run the exploit" so I closed it and unplugged my phone, plugged it back in and tried again, not im stuck at "adb connect will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and re-login.". And now my phone still has a light on indicating that I have not turned it off so my phone froze... Is it safe to close and restart the phone?

Stock Recovery?

Forgive me for being stupid. someone has probably already asked this but there are like 80 pages of junk here, and im probably posting in wrong forum as well but bear with me please.

I did a successful flash using One.Click 2.5.5. When i use my vol dwn + cam + power it boots into CWM normally. when i install Rom Changer and tell it to reboot to recover from inside app, it loads base stock recovery and fails installing a package? should i just ditch rom manager? or am i missing something? still kinda new to this whole rooting thing, was used to SWUpgrade, but now this epic requires Odin? Grasping this new power curve here. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Love all the work. Excellent job devs, keep it comin

P.S P.S Read the Wiki and it says its a known problem? i think this is correct

Un-Root process with 1 click problem

Since I am new here.. weeks.. I have read through this thread as well as several others. My problem is that I tried the 1-click update Froyo.DK28 and decided it is not ready for me. When you open messages, etc in portrait mode, it starts out in landscape, I have to jump through hoops to get it to sync up with DejaOffice and the list continues. I then tried the "1-click" remove. Only that fails and fails. Maybe I am missing something but there does not seem to be complete information on how to properly get it done. Thanks in advance, ask what you need from me.

--------

UPDATE

----------

I spent a few (more) min on google and found this link, it took me back to out of box, and so I am happy since one-click did not work as described in this link. So if you want to get back to basics, do a back up and follow this.

forum.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-roms-hacks/35212-how-factory-restore-fix-bricked-phone.html

Thanks for reading this far. Now waiting on an official update, that hopefully is tested and works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DevalB:
I'm having an issue with my install of one-click. It appears to have completed successfully, but when I boot into recovery, and try to flash from SD, I get a blank screen with the power LED, and key LEDs lit. I can hit BACK and get the recovery menu again, but it won't let me flash anything from SD.

Thoughts?

To add to this, now when I boot into Recovery, I can not get the phone to boot back up. If I do a battery pull, it boots back into Recovery directly.

I have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 installed, which was done by extracting the zip file attached to this thread in the \sdk\tools\ directory and running run.bat.

To get the phone working again, I have to use Odin to flash back to DK28 using the TAR file found on this forum.

This sucks! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robbie Doo:
Yes, I get the same error.

And, when I try to update the "Update.zip" file from Recovery Mode I get "Signature fail" error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyclio:
Mine fails right at the beginning:

[Epic 4G Android Development] DevalB:
Are you running DI18?

Here is what I had to do.

1. use ODIN to flash pit and DI18 on my device.

2. use the one-click auto root. I copied the files to my \android-sdk-win\tools folder, and ran it from there directly.

3. use ODIN to flash pit, modem, and DK28 file to my device.

4. use same one-click auto root to root 2.2.

Make sure you enabled the USB debug mode, and disable windows 7 user account control. Also, I would suggest actually installing the drivers by booting the device in the Samsung recovery, and letting windows install them.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing

This shows how to use Odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyclio:
Thank you!

I'll be honest - the only step I took from your directions was to extract the one.click.root archive to the sdk-win/tools folder.

I had previously installed android sdk development kit (which requires jdk as well) to that directory so it had a bunch more files in there.

It should probably be included in the first post that Android SDK and JDK are both required. I searched all day to find out.

I then ran the run.bat file and it works!

This was done on Froyo 2.2 fyi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gersonian:
You need to unzip the entire package. rage should be included, but one click root won't find out unless you have unzipped it.

You must extract the contents then run.

Hopefully this makes sense.

If you have access to an XP machine, you could try it on that. I had an easier time dealing with XP instead of 7. My Win 7 machine had an antivirus and that combined with UAC and running command prompt as administrator became a headache.

Try a different USB port. That solved it for me.

First plug in the phone select to mount the disk drive. If your PC and read/write to the sd card thats a good sign.

Next verify you have turned USB debugging back on.

If still not working try another usb port/cable as was already mentioned.

[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
Ok, First of all Hi. Brand new to the forums. Second of all Ive been trying this on and off since yesterday via this link on google wich eventually led me back to XDA ayway.

Today I finally realized you have to turn stay awake on for it to work. So i did this and having no patience i always click the run command file off and abort the whole mission. One time though i grew some patience and got all the way down to the end....It went throw three different sets of error messages like this :

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

ERROR!!! ......DEVICE NOT FOUND

with some words in between and then all of a sudden it basically ignored the error messages and said that it was successful and to press any key to reboot the phone.....So I did...and nothing happened. So i repeated this process again with the same exact results and attempted to press any key to reboot again and nothing happened. After that I was fed up and just unmounted the phone. At that point my phone froze completley. So i did a battery pull and thankfull every thing is fine now and the phone is not bricked (hopefully dont jinx my self lol)

I dont have a huge knowledge on this so excuse me if i seen noobish. I rooted my moment last summer with little to no problem so I figured id be as easy for the Epic. Anyways can anyone help me out as to where I am now and what in the world is going on?!?!

On a side note be for this event i ran the run file many times to no avail to anything except for a message telling me that something needs the adb to re login....to wich i found a fix for in this topic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vinnyty:
