It says USB debugging connected... why do I get "Phone is not connected" every time I try and run the run.bat file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Did you install the drivers....
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
Yes, if I have debugging off the phone is detected by Windows 7 and I can access the files on the SD card. That means the drivers are installed correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Do not mount the sd card when you run this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
OK forgive my ignorance if I'm doing this incorrectly. I should remove the SD card from the phone and then plug the chord into the phone, making sure that "usb debugging" is checked? When I plugged the phone into Windows 7 I get three quick beeps, much different sound that what comes when I'm just trying to transfer files to/from the SD card. Thanks in advance for anyones help on this!

Edit: I took out my SD card, connected the phone to my laptop here at work and I'm running into the same issue.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
All these support ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes they do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You don't have to take the SD card out just don't choose to mount/connect to the computer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
That's fine and all, but either way it's not working. I've now tried this on three different computers running Windows 7 and keep getting the same error message...

Are we sure USB debugging needs to be checked in order to run the *.bat file?

Maybe I'll try running this on an XP computer just to see if that makes a difference at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes debugging must be on. Did you install the drivers to the computer and then reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
OK I got the run.bat file to run and connect to my phone on an XP machine. It seemed to run through the process. Is that it? How can I be sure that root has been achieved? I tried the 3 button method to boot into clockwork, but it didn't seem to work. Is the 3 button method volume up, home key and power key? I'm sorry for all of the questions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Volume down, power, and camera ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
Haha way off I guess!! Thanks for all of your help. I think that root was achieved cause I was able to install wireless tethering and I'm sending this message to you from my laptop connected via my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, root was achieved then :) And no problem, let me know if you need anything else! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
One last quick question. I shut my phone down, did the 3 finger method (vol down, camera and power) and now my phone seems to be stuck on the Samsungmobile.com screen. Does this take a while to boot into CWM3 the first time? It's been a few minutes on this screen. Should I pull the battery and try again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Doesn't take long... recovery may not have flashed correctly...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
Should I try to run the *.bat file again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would. Did it say success? And make sure not to boot up into CWM3 until you have an EXT4 rom to flash on the sd card ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
Yeah now my phone wont boot up at all past the Samsung.com screen.... am I out of luck now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just ODIN and try again :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SoxIn4:
ODIN will wipe out all of my programs/settings correct? Looks like this might be my last option
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct. 10char
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
As long as you are going to odin use the thread that will odin the stock rom with cwm3 preinstalled. It also includes a compatible kernel so you won't have issues next time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
Okay I have question though probably a stupid question but my brother wants to root his epic to cwm 3. Question is if he does that does he NEED to flash one of the roms that run on ext4 or can he continue to run the stock rooted eb13 or should he do the other one click root with cwm 2.5?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Of he uses this method, he needs an ext4 rom/kernel :D

Sent from a truely Epic phone on the XDA Premium app ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
That's what I told him but for his sake I just wanted to clarify since I'm new to all This and the closest thing.to a smartphone he had was the instinct
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
Haha the exact same thing happened to me
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
ok op said somthin about not having to do this>>>>>NOTES FOR EB13: Auto conversion/restore seems to work 100% now. I converted and did NOT have to flash a rom over it. =]

no how many has tried and im just testing waters right now i need root bad but i dont understand the old concept but in the new one doesnt have to i dont want to. ne help would be great thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Wait, so what do you want help with? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
i started it up and it said phone not connected so how do i get it to connect
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
o my bad i was just trying to see how forsure it was 100% wise
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do you have USB Debugging on? Samsung Drivers installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
negative on drivers is it in the one click root folders and idk why i didnt think about it i thought it was already to go plug and play
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit windows?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
i dont see drivers in the op
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
and i have 64
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
See my question I'll give them to you ;)

Edit: here you go :) Extract, install, and reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
why isnt it in the op tho thats a big thing to leave out
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
To be honest, I don't know. Not my thread, or they would be ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
I hate to be the noob asking for step by step confirmation... but maybe it'll help my fellow noobs.

I'm coming from Nebula 1.0.5.

So:

1. Follow Directions from OP to get Clockwork installed.

2. reboot with the 3 finger salute.

3. Do the wipex9 dance

4. Flash compatible ROM (currently only the latest Quantum)

Am I missing anything, (and I do I have the wipes in the right spot?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
question: does anything have to be done with the update binary or can i simply use one (say from your 2.7 ROM) and write my own update script for a theme? thanks!

EDIT: nvm, found this in the INFO thread in general:

See post #2 of this thread for common methods of doing things in Edify. Copy the update-binary from a rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
I wonder if just trying to flash the di18 zip will work

Sent from my baked and emotionless SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
i'm getting the same problem. dont quote me, but i dont think the problem is the ROM, pretty sure its only the recovery which now only reads edify update scripts (which the 2.7 zip has incorporated). you need this recovery to even be able to flash the 2.7 ROM as the old recovery wont read edify.

whether i'm right or wrong, anyone else having this issue or is there a solution? thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
So would it be safe to assume I just shouldn't use a laptop since they don't put out enough power through the usbs?

Also, is the driver package the same for xp? (I.e., the one that's linked everywhere in this forum)

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
When I tried to enter recovery from rom manager it took me to 2.5.1.0, but using the salute I get to cwm3... any reason?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Can you just update from the 2.5.1.2 to 3.0.0.5 by running the run.bat file. I am already running 2.5ext4 quantum rom and would like to update to the 2.7 quantum
[Epic 4G Android Development] buggerritt:
Does flashing to this also format the SD card to EXT4? If not, is that recommended?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jerseymonkey:

[Epic 4G Android Development] italyhot21:
geting the same erros here
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeschevelle:
my CWMR says 3.0.0.2 not 3.0.0.5? did I miss somethin :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
I can confirm this too, it seems that the redirector version doesn't work quite right, but if the 3 button salute is used it sees the ext4 partitions etc.

I am running midNIGHT 2.3 with the 2.5.1.2 EXT4 addition. I am going to go to Quantum 2.7 and then see if the redirector works correctly, I'm thinking it might not like the old rom etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Despiadado1:
I tried using this in multiple ways. First I wiped and flashed back to Quantum 2.1. Ran the 3.0 process for clockwork and it went through and didn't have any errors except when trying to remove the HD app and the Asphalt crap. Anyway, once in the new Clockwork I attempt to install Quantum 2.7 and it blows up pretty quick with status error 6 or something. Looks like it was failing checksum or shortly thereafter.

I lost the ability to connect to my device through adb. I couldn't restore anything and I was pretty much dead. I had to reboot my computer, connect and wait for drivers to install (which was weird). Finally I could odin back to stock dk28. Ran the process again and had the same result. Odin'd again and went back to viper for now because this was already 5 hours in and I needed an hour of sleep before I left for work. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
This is what I'm getting:

E: unknown volume for path [/data]

And if I try to "choose" zip from sdcard" I get this:

Now I can fully reboot and my phone works fine... and like I previously said I'm running Quantum 2.5 w/ EXT4. Any idea what I can do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
here's another something weird. So I was able to reboot into Recovery through Quantum 2.7 just fine EXCEPT it has a version # 3.0.0.2 instead of 3 finger salute which is 3.0.0.5...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
It was stated above. soft recovery seems to fail, the 3 finger salute works just fine for the new CWM.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
so have u ever seen ne thing like that before
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
damn i got screwed sammys site pulled it too so where can i get the stock rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try here :D

nvm i found it on this thread on ppcgeeks thanks tho bro this is just bs i couldnt just get a smooth ride no i had to be rocky with flats
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Actually I recommend the one I posted, it gives you the root and CWM 3.x right off the bat.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
also i didnt even do this three button recovery which i dont even know what it is why it probably didnt work everything seemed down and it said press a key to do somthing then the screen just went gone and my phone was already rebooted. im curious how do u know when somone said somthing do u just keep refreshing or do mods have some special thing they can do
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just subscribe to the thread and refresh ;) And the 3 finger press is volume down, camera, and power :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
was i supposed to do that durring root maybe thats why recovery messed up idk
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No that's how you are supposed to boot into recovery....how did you boot into recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
quick boot and i swear mutiupload takes forever for dl
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's the problem. Try the three finger, it should work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
with the phone on
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, phone off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
see after i rooted i used quick boot to goto recovery i didnt know after root to power off then goto recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, quickboot won't work yet, you have to do 3 fingered.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
o ok thanks didnt know that
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
see i never had to wipe a cache partition before someone should make a stickie on what to wipe for kernels mods and what to wipe for roms. see with evo it was for kernels and mods wipe at least x2 on just cache and dalvik and on roms full wipe meaning factory,cache,dalvik,rotate,and battery stats. and i think factory did the android secure and so on. but this epic is strange so i need a correct method explaining when it comes to kernels and mods and a method for roms. i think this will be very helpful for everyone new to the epic and maybe even move it to the ppcgeeks side or any other forum u might be on or i can help either or i think it would be nice:D

But then when I go to Restore, there is no backup with today's date in the list. The backup process runs for 10 minutes or so, so it's definitely doing something.

What is the problem here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It looks ok to me :confused: Go to your sd card, and open the folder called clockworkmod. Is there a backup from today in the backup folder? Or any backups at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] eater99999:
It looks like actually what's happening is that today's backups are being labeled 2004-12-31. That is their name and also the timestamp on the files in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. Any notion why that would happen, or how to fix it? The time and date on the phone are fine.

Absolutely no clue. Perhaps try the recovery and see if that can help at all.

First time rooting

Hey fellas, im about to root my friends epic. Im a longtime hero root user so im very familur with the rooting process. My questions are, is there anything different here rooting the epic vs the hero???? if so, can you guys give me any tips or tricks i should know about before hand???? any information is greatly appreaciated. Hey impaler, if you have any tips for me plase let me know. i was sad to see you go from the hero forums.

EDIT: Also, whats does EB13 mean and also, which rom do you guys recomment me putting on after the rooting process. Im running AOSP's Gingerbread and its been great. Is there anything like that for the Epic??? Again, thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
EB13 is the newest froyo leak/release. Three of the more popular roms out for EB13 are syndicate, bonsai and midnight. You can look into those. Rooting is really easy, make sure you odin to eb13 before installing CWM3. Very simple, just follow the directions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
One question:

In the OP, the new method says I don't need to flash a ROM over it so...

Once I root it, it'll reboot and all, then if I got into CWM it'll convert everything to ext4, and then I just reboot again right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Possibly. That hasn't worked for many people to be honest
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Oh, thanks for telling me!

So, should I just use the old method and flash a ROM after it converts/before it reboots? (ex. CM7 hehe)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, I would :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Thank you! One last thinggg:

Do I HAVE to flash the stock kernel afterward like it says in the OP, or could I flash the Genocide Kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You probably can flash it, it should work fine :D
