Firon -

I have a MacPro w/ Snow Leopard, have the 2.2.9 unzipped and in a folder, and an open Terminal window.

I typed "chmod +x " (without the quotations of course) and then drag-and-dropped run.sh over into the window like you said. It added the directory command "/Applications/AndroidSDK/tools/EpicOneClick/run.sh" to the line. I then pressed enter, and nothing happens. It just pops up another command prompt "mac-users-macbook-pro-764:Users macuser$ " line.

What to do? My Epic is plugged into USB, SD mounted, debugging on, Always Awake checked. I don't push anything from the unzipped 2.2.9 folder onto my phone's SD card first do I? And I don't need ClockworkMod first, correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
You need to then run that script. You can actually just drag and drop the script again onto your terminal and hit enter. It'll then run.
[Epic 4G Android Development] suspect32:
hi, im also a mac user and im confused as well lol. i followed what u said but it didnt do anything :confused: first time attempting to root so im sure im doing something wrong :(

edit: got it working =D. dont know what to do now tho haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyteris:
suspect-

if you've got root, congrats, I just got it myself. Go to Marketplace and download Titanium Backup (excellent app) or ROM Manager. Both are root-only, so it's a good test of whether you've got it (and Superuser Permissions) on your Epic

Enjoy! I know I will
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyteris:
Got it, worked beautifully. Unmounted my SD "unproperly" a couple times, but have root now! I'm about to flash Clockwork, and rebooted into recovery from ROM Manager - I can't select "apply sdcard:update.zip" for some reason. Do I hit the Home key, Enter key.. . ? Home key just displays the message "Low battery!!!" repeatedly..

Thanks for the help, it's Miller time
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
You need to charge before you can flash anything probably.

Camera button is 'enter' in clockwork. Vol up/down to navigate, back is back.

help with bloatware

I successfully rooted my phone (yeah for a noobie).... and installed the sdx stock app remover.... but need help figuring out which of these are safe to remove/delete from the phone since there are so many. Anyone have a list of which ones are ok to delete? Thanks for all the hard work you folks are doing... .

DISREGARD --- problem solved.

ever since I rooted my phone and installed clockworkmod .... anyone know what the following icon is in the notification bar? it looks like a cell phone with wavy lines on each side of it.

Use 2.3.0.

[Epic 4G Android Development] twolostminds:
Thanks. Gave it a try but no joy for me. :( Seems to hang on "press any key to continue" Any advice?

Edit: Just tried running the uninstaller and it comes back with error:device not found.

So I'm going to assume that something is going wrong in my pc or phone that is causing this to not work. Will try stripping the samsung drivers from my system and doing a clean driver install.

Edit 2.0: Still had same problem after clean driver install. For giggles I rebooted the phone via adb and voila...2.3.0 installed flawlessly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] twolostminds:
Never being content leaving well enough alone I decided to install clockwork so I could install the Mixup kernal. Just ran into the same problem I had earlier. Device not found :-(

Once again I'm unable to run OneClick installer, uninstaller or now clockwork installer. I feel like such a noob again. Lol. Are there any manual commands I can run to help figure out why this keeps happening to me?

Thanks.

Ok I seem to be having an issue now. When I turn it off and back on all is fine. When I try to plug in the usb and try to mount it just freezes up. Anyone know what may have happened?

Edit: Seemed the freezing was just me tryiing to do something to fast, has fixed itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Ok I think I got it. How do I tell if it is rooted or not? This time when I plugged it back in it did stuff. Did not recognized it, unplugged it and plugged back in and it went through. Hit any key to restart it and it restarted.

Still unsuccessful with 2.3

Really appreaciate the work on this, as I am looking forward to rooting my epic and unleashing the beast within, but...

no success with 2.2, now trying 2.3.0 version. Unfortunately, I get a whole new issue (before with 2.2, it would do nothing after 'run.bat' step (verified everything connceted and recognized). Now, after run.bat, it says server offline.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
So now that I am rooted and see superuser, what exactly do I need to do. I see something about clockwork recovery. The only difference I see is that I have superuser, nothing else has seemed to change.

reboot your phone, try a different usb cable and port.

I had a similar issue with rom manager.... because its not compatible with stock kernel on the epic. You can get to clockwork recovery manually.

To get to the recovery....turn off phone. Now turn it on by pressing the volume keys, power, and camera buttons all at the same time....until the green console comes up.

Sought of a NOOB here with a few questions in ref. to ROOTING. Now I know some of these questions might of been answered in this thread already, BUT i was not able to locate everything. THANKS!

1) If you root the phone, can you go back to the original settings?(Unroot?)

2) If you brick the phone, can it be unbricked?

3) Since we don't have FROYO yet, if I root it, will this effect the FROYO

update?

4) How easy is it to DELETE bloatware? ie: Amazon MP3, etc....

THANKS!

I ran the .bat, it said 'press any key to continue' and...nothing. Gave it several minutes. (At least my phone appears normal, if unrooted.)

For my Epic 4G, installed the 32-bit Samsung drivers on WinXP SP3, which took a few connects/disconnects of the cable for all the new "devices" to be recognized with debugging unchecked, then ran the .bat as instructed.

The only unusual thing besides that is my COMODO Security program of course popped up when I ran the .bat, but I allowed it so, is there something I should do besides run it again?

Need help after rooting

i rooted using exploit v 2.3.0 with superuser.apk and it worked on my epic since i see superuser. the problem i have is that when i download rom manager and install clockworkmod 2.5.1.0 from rom manager for my epic. then i proceed to backup current rom, i give it a name and then reboots my phone to factory recovery and this is what i see:

android system recovery <2e>

can anyone help me backup so I can download new roms afterwards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Hold down the camera button and the down volume button while turning on your Epic. Let go of the buttons when you see the samsung.com logo. It should then boot into the ClockWorkMod recovery.I would post a link but noobs aren't allowed to do this.

:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] e3computers:
I tried the 3 holding button boot, it still takes me to the same boot which fails. It is like clockworkmode did not install, but shows it did. I have reinstalled it and still the same results whether I try to make a backup of current rom from rom manager or do the 3 button hold boot and try to install rom from the sd card

now, i have messing with this for about 5-6 hours now, and have retried several things. I am definitely rooted, i have SuperUser working, and rom manager lets me flash ClockworkMod (where i select samsung epic btw) Ive noticed that whether i select reboot into recovery or do the VolDown+camera+power reboot method it goes into android recovery, not clockwork.
