is there any reason to rerun the root (say already rooted with 2.4, does 2.5 provide something different? what's this clockworkmod redirector?)

Is it meant to run on an already rooted phone? For me, it just hangs on executing the exploit (i.e. see it's output, but then it just hangs there)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Sorry total noob here - just got the phone. I downloaded and installed the 32 bit drivers from the OP, enabled usb debugging, connected my phone (select charging or mass storage?) ran the run.bat from 2.5 and it cant detect my phone - says phone is not connected? Please help
[Epic 4G Android Development] bleedblaqk336:
The last time I tried this my phone had this issue where it was randomly turning off and restarting. I just got my replacment phone and I want to do this again. I have a feeling that the rebooting issue that I had was because on the phone. Did anybody else have issues when they ued the one click root method. Just wondering before I retry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Hey all over here from the Evo section of XDA and new to the Epic ...Does this Epic root work for all 2.1 update 1 devices and all hardware versions ????
[Epic 4G Android Development] bnguyen1983:
Are there multiple hardware versions? Works on all updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
lol not too familiar with this devices and I know the Evo has like 4 different hardware versions
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
well I just tried root version 2.5.0 and hit run.run.bat and cmd window came up and daemon started then said phone not detected

Edit ....Have to install right drivers lol ...will report back
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Ok all I ran the root and recovery process and now have SU App and I think all is good and Im fully rooted ...BUT....cant tell how do I boot into recovery with this phone ??? and check for full root

I found that recovery does work and did a backup and I DL'ed setcpu just to see if could access root and it did so I am assuming I have total access ...Do you guys have a good rom that works well leme know
[Epic 4G Android Development] plumsicle:
turn off phone

[Epic 4G Android Development] tswtech2:
can someone tell me what they did to solve the no phone connected error??? i've been at this for 3 hrs
[Epic 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
what no phone connected error bro ???
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
Reboot and try it again. :)

The clockworkmod redirector allows you to reboot to recovery from adb, instead of having to do the 3-finger salute.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tswtech2:
Thanks for reply but I got it working. It was the problem a lot of people were having in the earlier posts
[Epic 4G Android Development] tswtech2:
And I just used the epic experience 2.09
[Epic 4G Android Development] InhumanElmo:
So im a total noob at this. I rooted last night, and am having some second thoughts. Is the unroot up to date? Will it return my phone to like I had it before root (i didn't do anything other than root. No ROMS or anything.) I installed one app that needed SU access. Do I need to uninstall that before unrooting? Is there a chance of softbrick? Did Clockwork get flashed to my phone or is it just sitting on my sd card? I am sure a lot of this has been answered but I just want to make sure this thing works flawlessly. I can't afford to break my phone. Shouldn't have done it in the first place if I wasn't confident enough :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
As a FYI:

I tested it on a stock DI18 epic. From ROM Manager I requested a reboot with a backup of the present (stock eclair DI18) ROM. It booted into the stock Samsung recovery (SSR). I then held down the three buttons and managed to use a fourth finger to reboot the SSR. It then booted directly into CWM and started my requested rom backup. Didn't even see the green screen come up.

This is no biggie for me as I had flashed to DI18 while recovering from a phone that wasn't booting. On my way to froyo today... :D

Thanks for all your good work around here!

Cant get my win 7 64 bit to recognize the drivers...

The 64 bit drivers have like 12 folders in the .zip file... of **** i've never heard of. Which driver am I supposed to install? Am I supposed to run the setup or what? I ran the setup and the phone still isnt recognized when mounted or in ADB mode. What's the problem here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:

I believe the last one finally worked. I had to download busybox from titanium backup and it seems to be rooted but I can't get wireless tether to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lilinka:
Hanging...

It hangs at [*] adb connection will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and re-login.

I don't have the SDK so I don't know how to resume the adb server manually, though I'm assuming I'm not supposed to. However, it's sat here at this step for about 18 minutes, which I'm assuming isn't normal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Lilinka:
Currently wireless tether isn't working in root with the Epic 4g.

[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Root is a root, but this thread would have given you the latest. You can use the Epic un-root thread to DL an un-rooter if you so desire. When you use the un-rooter it will ditch the Superuser.apk off your phone. There is always a chance of a screwed phone when doing any of this kind of stuff.

Personally if you were me I would leave it rooted. It doesn't do a dang thing unless you use it to run a root program. You are essentially in a win-win situation right now. I can't even remember how many times I have rooted and un-rooted or flashed my Epic. BTW, if you screw your phone you can always use ODIN to reflash your phone back to the stock eclair DI18 rom. ODIN appears to be a Samsung factory production tool for flashing up to eight (8) phones at a time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ddpacino:
Okay, So I used the root, and tested with Titanium backup and I successfully have root on my Epic. So, I pushed a ROM over and flashed it in recovery. Did a complete wipe, but when I reboot the phone goes to the Samsung recovery screen. I had an EVO rooted and flashed ROMs fine, used the same methods.

Did I miss something here?? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
This happened to me once when I tried to flash to the Epic Experience Froyo ROM. Re-flashed the DK17 tar and then the ROM and it worked the second time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ddpacino:
Okay, thanks. I'm going to give it a shot. I'm glad I wasn't too impatient and did a nandroid backup first.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Omniren:
I see. Well I don't really want to add any custom rom. The reason for me rooting is to use the Tethering. I really like the phone as is (though I would like to change some settings on the LED...). What would you suggest I should do? Do you think its possible to root AFTER the OTA update? Or should I just root now and manually update the "official" update that just came out? Thanks in advance :)

Anyone know if the uninstaller in post 1 will work with a recently rooted Froyo?

I use an application called Good for Enterprise that detects my rooted phone and stops functioning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
No, that uninstaller is intended for DI18.

Just delete su and superuser.apk.

adb shell

su

remount rw

rm /system/xbin/su

rm /system/bin/su

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

You could also try hacking the app's detection with some smali editing. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] InhumanElmo:
Ok so how do I unroot this thing so I can get to froyo? Does the unrooter in OP work with the most recent root (just did it like 2 days ago)? Will I be able to do the OTA update after that unroot? Or would it be safer to do Odin to DI18 then ota to froyo? Does the unroot also get rid of clockwork mod?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Durmant:
I would say it would be much safer to use Odin to get rid of clockwork then installing the update

911 help please~!

OK,

I rooted my phone with the froyo 2.2 from here. I was having some problems with the GPS not working at all. SO, I ran the D118 rom and the phone appeared to be ok but now Windows will not recognize my phone on any computer. So I booted into recovery mode and noticed that the clockwork mod was gone. I was back to the factory recovery mode. So now I am unable to connect to my phone to run the new patch to bring the phone back to stock to get the new "sprint 2.2 release." My phone is working fine with the exceptions of GPS and mass storage.

Is there anyway to run an update from the sim card that can fix this issue. It seems that something must have been corrupted in the kernel and maybe that's why windows will not detect the phone.

I even tried from adb and it says no devices connected.

I am ready to just call sprint and say the phone was lost and I need a replacement...

P.S. tried odin3 and that does not see the phone either. My only option is to put my sd card into my computer to move files.... I hope someone can help me out...
[Epic 4G Android Development] b8ascrub:
P.S.S When I choose apply sdcard update: update.zip from recovery mode; i get the following error.

"Do I have to do some sort of wipe and completely start over, (and if that's the case is there anything special I have to do since I would be making sure EVERYTHING is removed?) or is there another OBVIOUS way to just update my files through my Epic 4G?" <--- Sorry, it didn't seem like a long, two part question in my head.

Okay, here's 2.5.4 for the people who are running DK28 and don't have enough space on /system. It removes the asphalt apk (which is useless), that gives us enough space to work with on /system.

The alternative solution was to install stuff to /data, but then you lose it every time you wipe data... so that's not a good solution.

Edit: Oops! 2.5.3 broke playlogo when using the .bat. 2.5.4 fixes that.
