Problem when installing drivers.

I am a total noob when it comes to rooting my samsung epic 4g. When going through the one click process I have had most of my trouble when downloading the driver. I need the 32 bit driver, I download it. Then whenever I plug in my phone under usb debugging mode and connect it for the first time, it begins its process on the lower right corner to install the hardware and make it compatible. Every single time, I get the blue screen of death and am unable to complete the process. When I restart the computer and try it again I sometimes get to the cmd screen to install one click and as soon as I type in "adb devices" to check if it recognizes my epic, it does. Then I click "run.bat" and it says phone is not connected or that it is "offline". After several tries I decided to go back to 2.1 using odin, then install z4 root and root my phone using z4root. It did root my phone and I now have superuser on my system. I also performed a root check and found it passed both tests so it is rooted. I also purchased Rom Manager to hopefully help me with the clockwork mod recovery option. The problem here is when I flash into clockwork mod, it does not give me the same options as users who have flashed using one click roots. I basically have the 4 basic options, and don't have the options for advanced nor does it resemble the clockwork mod recovery page that is seen through so many tutorials online. What am I doing wrong and is there anyone who can help me complete this?:confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic4GEE:
First things first, do not use rom manager, it doesn't work for the epic.

Make sure usb debugging is turned on before trying to run the one click root.

If your trying to root with the cwm 3.0.0.6 one click root, make sure you have an ext4 compatible rom on your sd card, after it converts to ext4 then flash your rom or you will get stuck at the boot screen.

If your trying the one click 2.5.x make sure you only use roms that are RFS(stock file system) compatible.

Try a different cable or usb port if your still unable to complete root.

If none of that helped at all the go here and watch one of these videos, very useful.....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009997

Try and flash the eb13 to ec05 zip from this threadhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012384

Its the only thing that fixes my super slow, latent 3g/2g speed drop outs. Just flash the zip thru cwm, no wiping is necessary. Hope that helps fix your issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
yeah, im not taking that chance, im from an original ecrail stock rom that upgraded to the ec, then made a fresh flash rom.....i heard that can interfere and have some potential problems jumping from a stock rom into a non stock rom.....eb was a experimental stock rom which could make things worse for me....but i did that flashed it twice went to stock then back and it still gave me the same problem....lost alot of my settings ding that...so im guessing its the rom itself that has that problem or bug, thats why ia sk if their is a fix for this....

ofcourse i coul go back to the eco rom again and have my 3g back, but i only experienced that when i flashed the syndicate rom, but then i would loose all the goodies i could do with it....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic4GEE:
Sorry it didn't work, I don't do all the revert back to stock stuff when I flash this modem. I simply just boot into cwm and flash the zip over my ec05 modem. Its the only thing I've found to work for me. I've even tried to odin the ec05 modem again when it was doing it and it did absolutely nothing. Have you tried any other roms, just to see if there's any difference. That's what I'd do before I ever even considered going back to the stock rom.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
well i found a different way

well dont know if it worked but i will be doing further testing, the way i did this was while i was looking throught a thread with dialing codes

i entered

*#info*1111# or the same as *#4636*1111# same thing

a pop up will appeare saying testing in the upper left hand corner with phone information, battery information, battery history, usage statistics, wifi information,

so i went into phone information

went into set preffered network type in the bottom

and i clicked on gsm/cdma auto (prl) close the page went back into it and did it a few times until it stayed on gsm/cdma auto closed it again did a reboot and it seemed to of worked, well for now, i havent seen the 1x appear anymore, but everytime i check that seting it seems to go back to unknown but so far i avent seen the 1x pop up anymore....for now.

the 1111 code is also good to check to see if u really are connected to a 3g network or cdma-evdo type A as they call it

Question: During the first time I root to cwm3/ext4 and reboot and all, BEFORE I go into cwm, ill be considered rooted so I can back up everything before converting to ext4 and flashing a ROM correct? I just want to make sure.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic4GEE:
I don't know, when I first rooted to cwm3, I was already rooted with cwm 2.5.1 and made a backup before switching to cwm3. I never used that nandroid I made in cwm2.x because my install was flawless. Just start with a dual rfs/ext4 capable rom/kernel and you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
i also come from a root version 2.5.5 before i rerooted to 3.0.0.5/6, what i did was i just implemented the same root process over the previous root. if u did a root throught ure computer with any root version yes u are already rooted, but as recommended for root users using CWM3 or above it requires u to reboot after rooting ure phone so that ure phone can convert ure data files into ext4 format.....other whize if u start using ure phone and u havent converted ure files into ext4 after the first root, then u may suffer from data loss or curruption.

simple steps

1: Root CWM3 from computer

2: once ure phone restarts into ure main theme, turn off the phone

3:do a the 3 finger salute Hold volume down key+camera key+power on key all at the same time and wait until ure booted into CWM3

4: ure phone will automatically start converting everythng into EXT4 on ure first CWM3 boot dont do anything let it do its thing and once thats done reboot ure phone and ure done

5: make sure u already have the the EXT4 Format Rom that u want into the root of ure sd card turn off phoner and follow the 3 finger salute and flash ure rom
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
No, sorry. You misunderstood. I'm not rooted AT ALL right now. I know that after rooting I reboot the phone. What I am saying is, before I go into cwm and convert everything, Im considered rooted enough to make a backup correct?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
if ure not rooted at all then u dont have a CWM, im guessing ure in a stock rom phone with no root, if so, then u cant do a back up of ure phone, u can try doing Titanium ive heard that, that app allows u to make a back up of ure applications only, it wont make a back up of ure systems image just ure apps, not sure if that app requires u to be rooted, if not then and if thats all ure looking for to make a back up of ure apps then titanium might help u, but as far as i know, if ure phone isnt rooted then u wont be able to make any backup of ure systems image if all goes wrong and ure phone messes up....

now, lets say u did go to the process of implementing the root cwm3 into ure phone throught ure computer but u havent converted to EXT4, if u dont convert after that first root process then u will end up messing up ure phone like i stated in the last post.... and possibly having u end up needing to use odin to flash back to stock without root...

All CWM3 does is just root ure phone and convert ure files into EXT4 it isnt gona harm ure phone or do any changes on their, ull still have ure stock firmware the same like if u upgraded it, but with a root process, then u can make a backup of ure stock rom, before u flash any custom rom, u dont need to make a back up because during the conversion from RSF to EXT4 CWM3 makes a back up for u so just incase anything goes wrong with the rom flashing, u can always flash back to the backup u had.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
._. Clearly I'm not wording this right. Okay what I'm saying is I plan on rooting soon (and I know I don't have cwm right now). So after the rooting process is done, I reboot the phone and I'm rooted then right? I can make a backup and everything before I go into cwm and it converts everything to ext4 right...?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
i updated my responce but here it is again

if u implement any CWM before version 3, like lets says CWM2.5.5 or lower ure files wont be able to get converted to EXT4 yet alone support EXT4 rom

so make sure u get the right root which is CWM3

like i mentioned before when u implement CWM3 and ure phone restarts and goes into ure home screen turn it off, do the 3 finger salute volume down+camera+ power on all at the same time let it do its thing, i wouldnt recomment using ure phone before CWM converts everything to EXT4 or u will loose the root process and have to do it again if it doesnt mess up on u. with any CWM once u root, no matter if u make a back up of it, when u reflash again all it will do is send u back to that date u made a back up of with root process, with CWM3 u dont have a choice because once u reboot its gonna go into CWM3 and start converting everything automaticly u cant cancel it or u will mess up the phone.

All CWM3 does is just root ure phone and convert ure files into EXT4 it isnt gona harm ure phone or do any changes on their, ull still have ure stock firmware the same like if u upgraded it, but with a root process, then u can make a backup of ure stock rom, before u flash any custom rom, u dont need to make a back up because during the conversion from RSF to EXT4 CWM3 makes a back up for u so just incase anything goes wrong with the rom flashing, u can always flash back to the backup u had.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Oh, alright. I gotchya. So even though EXT4 backs up everything, and I flash everything according to plan, I will just have to live with my data wiped? Like I know it's still there, but then I wouldn't be rooted/have my ROM if I tried restoring, right?

Because I know when after everything converts, you HAVE to flash a ROM, therefore having to wipe everything right? Even though I have a backup, that backup was made before everything was converted correct? So if I stayed on my new ROM w/ EXT4, then I wouldn't be able to access my old data and applications even though they're technically not gone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
no, once u root with CWM3 everything will be converted into EXT4 first before it makes a back up of ure systems image, so just incase the rom messes up on u and u cant operate ure phone anymore, that back up is their so that u can re-image ure phone again with root already installed and EXT4 ready so u dont go throught all the trouble of rooting and converting all over again.....

Thats why in the pages it says for u to make sure ure phone battery si fully full and half way full so that it doesnt turn off on u during the conversion and back up, and before installing any custom rom wipe everything data, partition, and dalvik cache for the fresh rom, so anything after the conversion gets lost for the new rom to takes it place and yes u will loose everything that u installed before u rooted because what ure doing with the wipe is removing any or all data, so ure rom can have a fresh start..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Alright, I understand. You see, I'm not really new to this. I've rooted with RFS and all, and flashed ROMs just I decided to stay away from rooting for a while (simply because of preference and lack of PC unless I ask a friend). One more question though, if the ROM messes up, I just boot into Clockworkmod, restore everything (I know how to do that) and then do I reboot, or will I have to wipe x3 and everything and flash the ROM again?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
Yeah, if the rom crashes on u, messes up on u like it did me when i first flashed the syndicate rom and it just shows the word android smack in the middle of the ACS logo or it doesnt load up, yea just do a wipe 3 times on each factory reset data, data partition and dalvik cache and reflash, if it continues to mess up on u, repeat, if it still messes up on u do another wipe 3 times, flash the back up reboot and ull be back good as new. Re-Download the rom again cuz chances are if it continues to mess up on u, u might have a bad downloaded rom.

also if ure gonna go with a custom rom, my suggestion is go with Syndicate 1.1.0/Twightlight 1.1.0 Standard Edition stay away from the fully loaded if u want to save battery. Thats personal prefference but so far syndicates Standard Edition Rom has been good to me and my phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic4GEE:
If your rom install messes up, rebooting into cwm and reflashing the rom should be the first coarse of action. If that doesn't work then wiping all and flashing again is probably necessary.

I've never wiped anything ever when I installed the various eb13/ec05 bonsai based roms and it has never failed me once(note midnight rom journaling on edition does not backup and requires a complete wipe) also srf 1.1 now backs up and doesn't require any wiping.

If you start having trouble with a rom and want to try a new one that backs up data. Make sure to nandroid back to a clean nandroid(no battery pulls on a no journaling rom) otherwise you may carry corrupt data to a new rom and have poor results.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NT_Prototype:
Actually id hate to break ure bubble and without desrespct but ure facts are understaded, ill agree with u that bonsai althought it may not require any wipes, rsf or any EXT4 format files including rom flashes although its not a requirement to wipe it is recommended to do does wipes before installing a rom, or flashing a new rom over another rom unless its the same named rom but updated, so u dont end up suffering with data loss, maybe u didnt suffer with data loss with ure phone, but u gotta remember that not all phones are the same and they are not equal some phones are built ****tier then others like stated in this forum page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976194

They actually recommend u to do a wipe 3 times for each of the datat files, factory reset, data partition, and dalvik cache, 3xs on each so an files from a previous rom dont interfere or corrupt the new one.

and ofcourse the youtube video of how to root and flash syndicate rom 1.1.0 on the epic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Et6qVGdo&feature=channel_video_title

also in note if ure phone does end up dying in the middle of the of the process or if the battery does come out for some unknown reason cant find a reason too for why it would but if u have to, ure phone will still charge while off, let it charge for 2 or 3 hours and then do a clean wipe like i stated and reflash the backup that ure CWM3 created when u first rooted, and u will be back to normal with a fresh stock rom with cwm3 already installed.

Nvm. Flashed Viperrom Synergy again, and this time it is FLYING because I finally converted to EXT4. Had over a 2200 Quadrant score before running at 1.4Ghz with the Genocide 1.0 kernel!!!! I never got even CLOSE to that with Synergy and RFS, OR with the new SyndicateRom with EXT4 (highest score was around 1700-1800 running at 1.4Ghz).

So here's the take-home message. GET VIPERROM SYNERGY!!!!! then upgrade to the new Genocide kernel. And make sure you convert to EXT4 if you haven't already...ZERO cons. All Pros baby. And battery life got better.

The reason why wipes are not needed with Bonsai is because they incorporated wipes in the backup and install feature of the ROM. It backs up your files, wipes, installs the ROM then restores your system.

Hello Guys

I am having an issue trying to extract the one clock recovery 2.5.5 and 3.0.0.6 in order to flash the Viperrom trinity v2.0 EXT4-RFS 4.0.4. I initially have Viperrom EXT4-RFS 4.0.3.

The directions are per thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864445

Now, every time I download the file when I double click on it, windows gives a message of invalid file, and try to extract it, windows message says that the file is empty. I tried it in operating system Windows 7. I turned off the firewall and the antivirus to see it that would make a difference... unfortunately no hope.

In windows XP, however, when extracting after repairing the file in winrar. I ran the run.dat file after following the instruction letter by letter (i.e. debugging is on and SD is not mounted ...etc) the first key hit tells me that the " rageagainstthecage-ms5-bin is missing”. make sure to extract correctly. The second key strike, it says root succeeded, data clean up failed. Do it manually.

In CMW I currently have version v3.0.0.5. So I got tired of doing this over and over. I went ahead and ran the Viperrom trinity v2.0 EXT4-RFS 4.0.4 zip file in CMW v3.0.0.5. and ran the Genocide_1.2GHzOC_EB13_Kernel_v0.2a.zip as well. Rebooted and I am in Viperrom trinity v2.0 which is a cool rom (I love it so far). However, the kernel is still showing 2.6.32.9 and I noticed that the edit feature in the home screen launcher forces to close. Error message is “the application com.sec.android.app.twlauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I tried with no hope.

Any of your experienced gentlemen are aware of any of these issues as explained above

1.	Do I need v3.0.0.6 to run the viperrom v2.0. EXT4-RFS 4.0.4

2.	Kernal issues as explained above.

3.	The edit feature in the launcher

That is the correct kernel status for Genocide. Go into settings>applications>manage applications>all scroll to twlauncher press it and clear data. You will have to set your homescreens back up but it will fix the error. If you have a backup in Titanium you can restore twlauncher data to get your homescreens back the way you had them.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes, flash the kernel after the ROM. EB13 is the modem not the kernel. What you posted was the kernel version. Genocide does not alter that in the phone reporting. Baseband version should be S.D700.0.xx.EB13 or EC05 if you have that.

On the homescreen you want the app showing hit the apps button, long press on the app you want, then slide it around by holding it when on the homescreen. To get your widgets long press on an empty area of the homescreen where you want the widget then pick widgets from the menu that appears. I am sorry this didn't fix the force close.
