I've heard that one before...haha, I think I might just flash the stock kernel just to be safe
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Okay, so you know how I like to run things through:

1. Root it using a friend's pc and let it reboot, that's easy

2. Go into Cwm3 using the three finger grip and it will automatically convert to EXT4

3. Flash ROM (ex. CM7)

4. Flash Kernel (ex. Stock one in the OP)

5. Reboot

And voila! I'm done?

I'm not doing this now by the way, I'm waiting until cm7 is official before I screw up my phone for the 4th time xD

Edit: Wait, where would I flash GAPPS? After the ROM and before the kernel, or after both?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct, except none of the kernels out now work with CM7, so take out that step.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Oh! Then how did people flash CM7? You don't need to flash the kernel even after your first time with EXT4? Or did people just use RFS for CM7? I'm confused
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just flash CM, it does it all for you :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Okay :D haha

One last run-through (I'm ridiculous haha)

1. Root and let it reboot (easy)

2. Go into cwm3 via three finger grip

3. Let it convert everything (how long should this take?)

4. Wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset x3

5. Flash CM7

6. Flash GAPPS

7. Reboot!

That it?

Oh, by the way, can I restore all my apps and system data via Titanium Backup after I flash the ROM and all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct :) And TB can be used for many apps, but not all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Would you recommend I only restore apps that I got from the market?

Kinda confused what you mean; I've used TB before but haven't had any problems restoring any of my apps so I'm guessing I should be fine then?

Oh, and btw, I think I'll do fine this time since I'm pretty sure Nebula ROM was giving me the problems, maybe not.

Thanks for everything Impaler
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, and yeah TB can be used for most apps. Just keep in mind that you will want to restore the app only for the most part, not app and data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Hmm, so I CAN'T restore the app's data? =(

Dang, I pretty far in Zelda in the n64 emulator...lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You can. Just be aware that it may cause problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Damn, well obviously I'm going to take my chances.

Maybe if the app gets an update, the problems will go away (being optimistic lol)

Thanks for all the details:

Once the official CM7 comes out and I flash it, I will most likely never flash a ROM again xD
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah I'm on it, not bad for alpha 1
[Epic 4G Android Development] ananth001:
I went to Cyanogenmod 7 Alpha from ACS Frozen 1.0.1. After trying CM 7 for some time I went back to ACS Frozen 1.0.1 by restoring earlier backup on ACS. But now I have lost root and don't have su. Earlier I had rooted on DI18 using OneClick 2.5 CWM, and after applying EB13 update.zip had rooted again using CWM 3.0.6. After converting to ext4 filesystems and flashing dual fs kernel, I had succesfully flashed ACS Frozen 1.0.1 with no issues.

Only on reverting back from CM7 I have lost root. So to regain 'su privvileges' can I do CWM 3.0.6 OneClickRoot again ?

Update: I just reflashed ACS Frozen 1.0.1 , and am rooted now proper.

Earlier also I had not lost root since I could get the # prompt in ADB shell, guess there was a problem with 'superuser.apk'
[Epic 4G Android Development] evilsock:
sorry if i sound like a noob i just want to make sure this will be ok, all ive done since i got my epic was update to froyo the stock eb13.

if i use this to root can i keep it stock eb13 just rooted? or will i have bugs and need to flash a rom?

all i want is stock eb13 just rooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flash the dodexed stock EXT4 rom found here :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] evilsock:
so im on eb13, i need ro odin back for this one click root to work?

what is odin and how do i use it? and where do i get it?

im very savy with android,rooting but this is my first samsung, i assume odin is the same as rsd for moto right?

edit, it worked

so let me get this straight

1. got phone, updated to eb13 manually

2.used the one click method as described in above post.

3. so now i can either stay stock rooted or flash roms from this point right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] evilsock:
Ok so now every time i reboot, it makes me choose adw launcher or go, or tw launcher and resets some other settings. do i need to delete launchers im not using or am i missing something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
What do you want? TW to work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Six-Deuce:
Can this CWM version be installed through OTA only? By that I mean dload directly to phone and applied somehow by not going through a PC, just through boot menu?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Nope must be done with with PC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Six-Deuce:
Ahh Thanks.. gues I'll have to work at work and do this at hom lol.. another question if you can help... I want to install the viper rom dk28 anarchy_v2 I think.. do I just install the dk28 (old) cwm3, let it do the ext4 conversion and flash that rom? That's what I seem to get from reading around... seems suspiciously easy, lol

Oh and I have the dk28 stock rom on, rooted (art3mis kernel)..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Why not upgrade to EB13? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Six-Deuce:
Well from what I read there's a BUNCH of bugs still on it, although I'm not able to keep up with the forums much lately (9 month old daughter is a handful) so I might be wrong. Is there any really good EB13 rom out? Cause I wouldn't mind moving to that if its worth it... but then wouldn't I need to flash an eb13 rom (at least stock) before using the [eb13]CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, you'd need EB13 stock first. You can ODIN that
[Epic 4G Android Development] evilsock:
i want go launcher to work or adw, but it resets my wallpaper and evrything when i reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] Six-Deuce:
any link at hands by any chance for a stock eb13 rom? And are there any good ones.. At least in your opinion? I'm so unfamiliar with it it's not even funny..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
ODIN or flashable?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Six-Deuce:
Odin, I've had decent luck with that and it seems easier... Plus I don't really need to wipe with Odin right? I haven't so far..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
ODIN wipes for you ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Six-Deuce:
Well there ya go even better lol, that's why I wish there were ODIN-Able ROMs lol.. Click and go... Done
[Epic 4G Android Development] evilsock:
im not sure whats wrong, i went from, fone out of box, upgrade to eb13, then root using this method. now some of my apps and widgits wont show up when i try and goto longpress on homescreen and hit widgits. stuff that i know is downloaded just isnt there, like i know twitter has a widgit, and urban dictionary and several others, but not in widgit list?

whats wrong? do i need to flash a deodexed rom? if so is there a stock rooted froyo rom thats deodexed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes there is, check a page back or so I posted it ;)

Rooted my dads epic with this last night, it was super easy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyce308:
when i try to root it continues to say " phone is not connected" the upgrade method i did was :

Download Samsung_Mobile_Driver_V1.3.800_For_SPH-d700_Epic_4G.zip

Unzip the file and install the driver

Download Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip

Unzip the file and open up "Odin3+v1.61.exe"

Put your phone into "Download Mode"

- Pull out battery

- Put in battery

- Push and hold "1" on your keyboard

- Power on device while holding "1"

Plug your Epic 4G into the computer

Download SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5

Place the file in the "PDA" slot

Start flashing

- This will reset your phone to default settings

You now have stock DI18 Android 2.1 back on your Epic! Feels good right? ;)

Download update.zip

Move the file to your SD card on the Epic 4G

- Plug in device

- Select "Mass Storage"

- Drag the "update.zip" into root of your SD card

Boot your device into "Recovery Mode"

- Pull out battery

- Put in battery

- Push and hold the combination of the Volume Down Button, the Camera Button, and the Power Button

Select "apply sdcard:update.zip" from the "Recovery Mode"

- The "Home" soft key is the select key.

and I unzip the file to the desktop and i turn on USB DEBUGGING ...i follow the instruction and press any key then it says "

PHONE IS NOT CONNECTED

" what could be WRONG???????

This is MOD EDIT: Language, never works i do exactly as it says and as soon as my phone boots up and after lockscreen is off i hit one menu button and phone goes haywire and vibrates and locks up and reboots it self, and whats with the stupid Android Splash over Regular Galaxy S Boot screen. I flashed Syndicate Rom and still didnt work this should allow me to boot directly after conversion into stock rom and not having to do this or that, and when it still doesn't work after all that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Are you using the correct version of the rooter? Are you on DK28 or EB13?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
sorry for language but yes im on EB13 and im using the 3.0 one for EB13
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok. Try this. ODIN fresh EB13. Then run the rooter again. This helped me once when the rooter wasn't working properly. And that's ok on the language, I understand you're frustrated with this :) I'll work with you to get it working though :D

I dont like to use odin i have issues with that as well and too complicated i just like simple stuff. If something is going to auto convert my system it should "AUTO"matically work lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
It does ;) Did you do what I recommended?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
what did you recommend? and i just like SWupadter so much simplified when i went to look at odin thread too much wording and i just hate it.

ODIN to EB13 again, the run the one click rooter.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6

Instructions:

Step 1. Boot your phone into download by powering off your phone holding 1 on the keyboard and holding power til you see the little Yellow digger.

Step 2. On your computer launch the included odin.exe and select the included EB13-ext4.pit and under PDA select the included EB13-Extended-3.tar

Step 3. Plug in the usb cable.(if it's done right you should see a yellow Com device.)

Step 4. Tick Repartition

Step 4. Click Start and wait.

That's it. You've got EB13 Release and clockwork preinstalled, rooted, and ready to use.To get into Clockwork, hold Volume Down Camera and Power to flash your own rom.

Enjoy!.

Is that all im supposed to do but i dont like the wording "tick repartion"

Plus its going to take time because my supposed 8MB connection is more like 200kb, right now it says 35-45 mins
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, download does take a while :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
tick repartition means to make sure that has a check mark on it. So you have all the checkmarks that are automatically checked when you start odin and put in the correct files and then also check the repartition box. Very simple.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
It worked it booted up after all that i went to recovery and started auto reconverting again UMMMM ITS EXT4, so why is it doing that. Unbelievable

Any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's what it should be doing; I don't see the problem :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
OK but if ODIN already flashed it to EXT4 why is it thinking it needed to be converted isnt it already converted. But anyway as of now i have it and is lovely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ElAguila:
Just a quick question here. I used odin at this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

to install the deoxed EB13 and converted to ext4 then. I want to root the phone so that stock apps can be removed. Will this run and see that the system is already ext4 and leave it alone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Odin flashed the rom, kernel and modem. It doesn't change the filesystem type so that has to be done the first time you go to recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You are already rooted. If you odined that you now have cwm which means you are rooted. NO need to do this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
ok i followed the instructions.. odin to eb13... installed eb13onclickcwwmeb13 and rebooted into cwm with orange background... installed dual kernel eb13 and now i hav a android logo flickering on samsung logo... and its not booting ,....what should i do?

its a veritcal android image

btw the conversion p[rocess converted it to ext4 :/ PLEEEEEEASEEEEEEE HELP

i have odin'd multiple times before without any issues.. first time i m seeing this problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Reflash the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
reflash eb13 stock again? using odin?

i have the tar file for eb13 whiich i used to odin back ... that wont work to "install from zip" in cwwm i guess ??? is there a .zip file>?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, the dual kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
did that.. no difference.. :/ this is what i m doing

Install zip from card

--> Choose zip to apply

-->EB13-dualfs-kernel.zip

it starts flashing.. i get the blue screen... with big font syaing upated system etc in blue font then the screen goes blank cpl of times and i get orange cwwm screen saying.. Install from SDCARD complete... then i reboot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
just to dbl chk...

wipe cache 3x

wipe data 3x

wipe dalvik cache 3x

install zip from sd card..

right or anything else needed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Don't wipe anything the first time. Just flash. Probably won't work. That's ok. Boot back into recovery, and then wipe all of them and flash for a second time. Seems to work for some reason.

thanks for your help :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, I didn't make the rom ;) Might I recommend ACS's SFB? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem :) To be honest, If you want to be stock, It's almost best to root with the CWM2.x redirector IMHO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
i ll try that.. i ve been on viper for a whilel and kinda got used to it but my battery sucked big time for some reason... so wanted to start fresh and give it a try...

i cudnt get more than 8 hrs per day ...i unplug at 100% at 9 am and wud end up with 15% by about 4pm
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
yea but in the OP it mentioned to use the cwwmeb13 for ext4 and thats what i used.. i wanted to be on ext4 since i wanted to try out some roms later on .. so didnt want to root on rfs then odin back and re root on ext4...if thaT makes sense.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I get tons of battery on ACS with the kernel set to ondemand 100-1.2, 58% will moderate use at the end of the day :)

interesting just chkd on ACS... sounds interesting.. tho dont seem any themes at all??? i just want some subtle theme.. not real in the face kinda thing.. :/ if thats not a huge deal to ask.. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] fiddy619:
So, I just got an epic for my son yesterday, and I'm wanting to root it. I'm fairly experienced with rooting EVO's, but this seems like a whole different ball game. His phone version is EB13 froyo, so i'm assuming that it is already in the ext4 format (How can i check that?). My question is really would this method be the most feasible to root his phone?

Again I'm looking for least complications with this because it's not my phone, so I really don't want to have to keep him away from his phone for too long... But he is 15, and i'm sure that he'll benefit from the roms, and themes available (even if i have to flash them)...

Thanks in advance.

***EDIT - after reading a bit, i realized that stock is probably rfs, and not ext4, so now the next question is which is the more desirable?***
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Depends :) You are correct, stock is RFS, which is foolproof and reliable, while ext4 is faster, but can present issues if you power your phone off incorrectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VDub2174:
I followed the steps in the first post and everything went flawlessly!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] fiddy619:
Well I did go ahead with ext4, and it worked out quite smoothly, but after flashing, I started thinking about 4g, on the evo (supersonic) we use an RSA key to authenticate for 4g access, so my question is by doing a full wipe to this rooted version, is 4g still going to be accessible?
