need some help/therapy

I've tried everything. EVERYTHING. I can't get this root to work. I need your help gentlemen. Things seem to be going fine on the command script, then it'll just stop. Nothing happens, and then i cry. Sometimes it stops on "Copying files onto phone..."

Sometimes it'll stop on "push: recoveryfiles/recovery..." but it ALWAYS stops. I'm on stock EB13 and I've successfully installed ext4 CWM back when i was on DK28. But no dice here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Restart your computer and phone, start sdk let it finish all of its installs plug the phone in after sdk is done and try starting the adb shell manually once. If that does not work just try and reinstall the drivers for the phone i was having this issue a while back. It also helps to use the same usb port on your computer every time that you connect the phone. Ive had the best luck with my external sata port which you can use for usb's.

Should'nt have to, I went from no root to cwm 3.0 with only some minor issues. Try a different rom once and see what it tells you.... You are going to the install zip from sd card and not just telling it to install update.zip right? (it was a mistake i was making a bunch)

Update your sdk, and start the adb_shell manually before running the batch file.

I download and installed the Java sdk, plus the Android sdk, i updated all the files in the android program.

I run the batch file and all I'm getting is

Phone is not connected.

I already restarted my computer and my Phone.

I have a 64bit and a 32 bit Windows 7, both of them say phone not connected.

The cable works because I'm able to transfer files back and forth when not in Debugging mode.

I even looked for videos on youtube, and I'm doing everything they did.

1)Download Java

2)Download Android File

3)Put phone in debugging and click on USB Storage.

4)Extract The A-thousand-clicks-root file

5)double click the run batch file

6)ERROR: Phone not connected. Sigh... Help?

[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
here ya go, try this method. I think it's easier, plus it starts you on a fresh install of eb13, pre-rooted. Once the phone loads up the first time, turn it off, boot in CWM, let it do its thing, and that's it.

You'll want to download the "Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6" version, and make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are posted. Enjoy!

Do not connect the sd card. Plug in the phone and then immediately run one click root. Again, do not mount sd card.

Q: Is CWM 3.0.0.6 only for EB13?

You guys that cant root your phone...uninstall all Samsung programs on your PC..reboot...install Samsung Epic Update Tool....Once this sees your phone your good to go and do what ever..

Hey Guys heres another download link

[Epic 4G Android Development] ZeppelinJ0:
Hey everyone, I'm having all sorts of issues getting these directions to work.

I've followed everything exactly. Downloaded the correct USB drivers, enabled USB debugging, plugged phone in, execute run.bat, kill adb.exe when I receive the warning to reboot adb.

However when run.bat is running it freezes on icon_installing.png and will not go past this. I've tried other methods and work arounds and so far nothing has worked. I think I've even currently soft-bricked my phone since it's stuck at the Samsung screen.

Any insights?

I used this method to root my Epic a few days ago, everything went find. This morning I went back to try and backup my current ROM and install a new one. Clockwork is telling me it cant mount SD card, anyone know why? Tried reboots, tried new sd card, nothing works. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You can't use quick boot, rom manager, or any program like it. You also can't use the reboot recover in clockwork. All of them do not use the redirector correctly. You have to power off your phone and do the 3 finger method. This has been discussed multiple times in multiple threads.

If you are doing the 3 finger I apologize, but I know a majority of people having this problem are not and they are not going back to read. In that case you have a bad flash and you need to try it again, perhaps use the odin version of eb13 with cwm3 built in. It works perfectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jschramm:
Thanks, sorry for not finding that info on my own. I am used to the Evo and using Clockwork and Quickboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
quick boot works fine with 2.5, but with 3 the redirector is hit and miss and no one has taken time to fix it because everyone is working on roms. I know daemon has been working on CM7 so that keeps him busy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jschramm:
He is working on CM7 for the Epic? That would be great, I have been running that on my Evo for a while now and its amazing, crazy battery life.

I tried doing this, but after thinking it installed correctly mine froze on the white and black samsung screen.

It seems like steps 1-6 are easy, I don't understand step 7, when it finish installing it gives you options like start up, or 4 other options what do i choose? Also when do I install bonzai the rom i selected?

Sorry never installed a rom its frustrating...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
It isn't that frustrating to install roms, sometimes cwm3 is difficult. Instead of using this go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

You will be using odin so you have to have the samsung drivers all installed, but it is a very easy install. You download the version you want, in this case base EB13, deodexed, with cwm3 pre-installed. Once you do this you just reboot into recovery and flash bonsai... done. If you run into problems be sure to read through the last 3-4 pages of that thread. I and many others have already helped people get through about every problem you could run into.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I just tested the download and the unzip from the op and everything works fine. I am not sure what you are doing differently, but it took me less than 30 seconds to download and unzip and everything is there.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Do you have an ext4 compatible kernel? If so it sounds like a bad flash somewhere to me. Find the thread to odin Eb13 deodexed with cwm3 and compatible kernel preinstalled. It will save you a ton of time and headache. After you odin that you will be ready to flash whatever rom you want.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BigBeard86:
im lost after the step to get into cwm3. do i have to flash that file before i go into cwm3? how do i do it? i didnt know how and rebooted my phone, and luckily was able to get it back fresh using that samsung updater.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
When you go into cwm3 it will convert you to ext4. When this happens you need to have an ext4 compatible kernel (such as the one in the op, Twilight kernel, or genocide).

You will also need a deodexed rom.

An easier way than flashing both a kernel and a rom would be to decide what rom you want (that is ext4 compatible and includes an ext4 kernel) and flash that. You can choose midnight 4.x, ACS Frozen 1.x, or bonsai 3.x are all good options.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigBeard86:
thats where i got stuck...everything finished and i didnt know what to do. so ill just let it run again and flash rom? thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yes, what rom are you going with. I personally enjoy midnight, but bonsai and acs are both great choices. All of them will be even better when the new releases come out in the next 1 - 10 days...;)

Edit: other roms are good to, but those three are my favorites.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigBeard86:
can you provide me iwth a link for these roms? i cant seem to find it.

im currently reading up on how to flash a rom, since i have never done it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BigBeard86:
thanks man. i atually am looking at his site now reading some stuff.

so now i think im good to go, again. can i still use the one click method to root my phone with cwm3? when it changed the file type at the end ill just load up the ROM i want?

if i ever decide to change roms and flash them...will the kernel be saved this way i dont have ot make sure the ROM supplied the altered kernel?

also...do i have to be rooted to install just themes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yes you can use one click method

Load the rom you want after that

Don't worry about the kernel once you flash a good one if you stay with ext4 roms you will be good.

You need to be rooted for themes because you need cwm
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
When I try and boot into recovery inside CW3 the phone just gets stuck at the samsung screen, then after that it won't boot up at all. This also happened when I tried using quick boot. The phone just sits at the samsung screen. I would have to remove the battery, do the three finger recovery and wipe and reinstall the Rom. I am using Syn Frozen along with Mystery's theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I am not understanding... you are booting into recovery while already in recovery? Do you mean you try to reboot the phone and that is when it gets stuck?
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
After you press the advanced in CW you have the option to reboot into recovery. I had read quite some time ago this would take you to the old recovery so you could use zip files not edified. I may be wrong but just wanted to try. I also read if you use quick boot it would take you to the 2.5 recovery. Using quick boot also caused the phone to stick at the Samsung screen and when that happens all you can do is remove the battery and re flash the Rom to get the phone to boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Ok, no don't use non edified zips. also quickboot is currently broken, but will be fixed in all the major new roms coming out. You have to get into cwm3 by doing the 3 finger salute
[Epic 4G Android Development] papazche:

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Just go to this thread and odin the cwm3 version found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

You will get a stock deodexed rom with cwm3 preinstalled and a compatible kernel all in one shot. Then to convert to ext4 all you have to do is reboot into recovery and let it do it's thing.

In all honesty this download has been having issues for a few days and I am not sure why. A lot of people are having problems. You can use this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

You will be using odin to flash a completely clean install of EB13 deodexed with cwm3 preinstalled and a compatible kernel. You just have to make sure you have the samsung drivers and that you set up odin correctly (the instructions are in the op). If you need help beyond that read the last couple pages of that thread. I have helped a few people do this over the last couple of days so most of your questions will be answered there.

When you first boot up cwm3 it will convert you to ext-4. If you are on an odexed rom (stock) this will cause issues so you need to have a deodexed rom ready. Also you will need a kernel that supports ext-4 such as the dual FS kernel that he provides a link to.

Temp Fix for missing rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

This is not really a virus but more of an exploit to access a device that windows doesn't control. This is actually a bigger problem then people know yet. The great minds of microsoft have added the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin to Windows Defender Black List. You can download the Zip file but when you go to extract it Windows will not even let the file be extracted. I've tried it several ways. I even extracted the file on my phone and tried to transfer off the phone over USB. I've tried DropBox and it caused my computer to go Crazy trying to push the file to the compter. I've tried it on Win7 and Xp a 2 laptops and 1 desktop. I've tried it all. Then i remember my favorite thing about Windows.

Windows SafeMode with Networking. Restart your Windows Computer and just after the BIOS screen start tapping F8 key. You'll see a white menu, select SafeMode with Networking. Once booted log into an account with Admin Privledges and redownload or simple extract the file you already have. It will allow it to extract all the files and then you can run the Run.bat file. Do not restart and go back into normal mode until your done or Windows will simply delete the file. It worked on my Windows XP Pro machine. Its all about the little things. In SafeMode no security loads of any kind.

NOTE: You have to make sure that you already have the drivers installed for the phone or SafeMode wont recognize it.
