[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but ROM Manager has an Epic-specific update.zip that updates CWM to 3.0.2.4, but beware, it may cause a lot of file permission issues as-is if you flash the update.zip from CWM 3.0.0.6. I had to wipe my phone a few times before I figured out what the hell was going on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I don't think rom manager is compatible with the epic :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Yep, the Epic never worked right with Rom Manager
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
So what is this then? HMMMMMMMMM?:confused:

Oh, and it *TRIES* to flash it, but when it reboots the phone, it goes to the factory bootloader, not CWM. But you can afterward flash the update.zip through CWM.

Attached is that update.zip. Careful, it'll break your permissions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, that does not work. As you just said, it tries to flash it and fails. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
It doesn't work RIGHT. Key word RIGHT, if it works at all it works buggy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Just call me Herp Derpington
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ah, I see, so you've managed to get it working bug free have you? :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Well, yes actually, but now I need to figure out how to replicate what I did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maddoggin:
is there a one click root for ec05 or do i have to go back to eb13 to gain root?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
This works on EC05 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] r0nin ar1es:
Is any EC05, I recieved the update from Sprint, and whenever I try to root, it does nothing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You need to use the one that says EB13, but it has been reported to work with EC05 as well.

I recently odin'd and tried this one click root, it works to the point to where it tries to push the clockwork recovery and it says error:device not found. I've tried to reinstall drivers and rebooted my computer with the phone plugged in and still nothing worked.. Any ideas to what my problem is?

EDIT: It also puts me in cwm 2.5.5 when using the 3 finger method...

is there some kind of update zip for cwm 3.0? Cause i do have root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
So it starts to work and then just randomly stops? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] lv2bll:
i tried everything and have come to the conclusion that its my usb ports on my laptop is stating to fail(age probably). Even when i was odening i was failing about 80% of the time. and this now. It finally worked after rebooting both my phone and laptop while both were'nt connected. thanks for offering help..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Probably, or it could be the USB cable. Try a different one :)

Driver Question

New to the Epic forums, it's my wife's phone (I usually live on the EVO side). I'm trying to get this phone set up to run CWM and custom ROMs, but for the life of me, I cannot get the phone to connect to my computers. I've tried 64bit drivers on my Win7 64bit pc, 32bit drivers on my WinXP 32 bit PC. The XP PC shows the driver install completing successfully, but the run.bat says my phone isn't connect. ADB doesn't recognize my phone. I'm stuck. I even installed pdanet thinking the drivers it installs should work. Noting. Phone is still running stock EC05, so at least I have that.

Anyone else have problems like this installing drivers?

EDIT: Sorry, should have mentioned, I've read just about every thing here I could to try to answer this before posting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did you reboot the phone with the phone still plugged in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Nope, haven't heard/read that before. Will try that in a little bit. The wife wanted the phone back to play WordFeud. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know how it goes! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] kc_hubbard:
Thanks Impaler, rebooting the phone while plugged in worked. Some things never change. you were the man on the Hero and you're still the man on the Epic boards too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hey, not a problem man :D Let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks guys :) Really appreciate the support :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] KaL-EL3038:
hey guys i apologize

i apologize if this questions have already been asked but i just got my phone back from repair since march 1st and its hard t catch up so here i go.....first off all i wanna know if this method of root works on ec05....second of all there is a step i believe step 9 which refers to flash dual rfs....is this necessary....third....i came from bonsai 3.something i dont remember cause i erased the zip of my sd card for some reason ...but i have a nand back up and i want to flash 4.0.1 can i flash and restore data only with out any problems...i think thats all for now...hope i dont sound so much like a noob....sorry guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, this works on EC05 :) I'd root, boot up, allow the conversion, and restore the backup of Bonsai :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] KaL-EL3038:
even if its an older version of bonsai....???and then is the rfs dual step necessary??
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No the rfs is not needed, just nandroid the older version (so long as it's ext4) and then you can upgrade. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] KaL-EL3038:
yeah u see the older version wasnt ext4 it was rfs....so i take it if it was frs it will cause problems???? all i want to restore is data....:( lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ah, yes indeed. That will cause issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KaL-EL3038:
Darn itttt

lol well alrighty man thanks for your help really appreciate it!!! i think i have a titanium back up so that should help....thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] Patrck744:
I was able to get to this by flashing the .ZIP file under clockwork folder @ SDCard. I dont see any big difference between the two except the back on the menu is gone now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need anything else :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jct522:
i realize i could search all day through this forum to try to find a solution, but I am trying to root my Brother in laws Epic with CWM 3 but he is using a Mac. Is their a different method that has to be done using a Mac or is it the same? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Not really... any way to borrow windows?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
theimpaler747 - Do you know why after installing Clockworkmod on my Epic 4g I cannot mount and access my sd card, in recovery mode I get the error: E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory) when I enable the usb while running my rom it looks like the usb is enabled but the sd card never mounts and it never shows up on my PC???

Thanks in Advance!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's because unfortunately, CWM doesn't really work well on the Epic yet. :( Mounting is indeed broken
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
Ok, I thought I did something wrong LOL!!, Now I know and will continue to use wifi file explorer :o.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, not your fault :) We at ACS have tried to appeal to get Koush to fix it, but he's a pretty busy guy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
So I'm putting this on a friend's phone. I got the root to take (it was on E05), but once it started to do the backup, it checked the md5's, restored the data, system, etc. and then it started to do it all over again. I have no idea why it's doing that, anyone have some insight?

edit: Nevermind, it took after the third time. kinda strange. oh well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, glad you got it :D

Sent from a truly Epic phone on the XDA Premium app ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
OK I was wrong. I've tried flashing bonsai and syndicate and both give the fc vibrate on boot. When trying to reflash it gives an error on bonsai (only trying to reflash in recovery). I forget what it is, but it seems like this phone refuses to let me flash a ROM.

I've done a clean install and reflash 4 times now, and the same thing happens everytime. The whole process is flawless up until boot. Then it's the blank screen and vibes. I am at a loss.

Edit: I'm not sure if it's the roms or if it's the way CWM is working here. I've heard that it's buggy, but I think this phone is just crap.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok. Let's start from scratch, and the phone is not crap ;) ODIN to stock. Don't root just yet. Let me know when you've ODINed and we'll go from there :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Well, I'm already a step ahead I guess. I can start over if you want. I flashed to stock, odin to E05, it rooted and is converting as I type. Again, I can start over if you like
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Actually, we should be good. Let it finish the conversion, and then flash the ACS 1.1.0 zip on your sd card WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING. As it boots up, it will have 2 bootscreens, one sprint, the other android. This is ok. Pull the battery, wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and reflash. Should be good :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Would I have needed to place that file on before doing the conversion?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Unfortunately, yes :o You can boot up without flashing it like I said.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
I was looking through my files, and I don't seem to have that zip. Did I miss it somewhere? Can you point me to it? Sorry, I'm used to flashing my cappy and that is far easier!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Here you are :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
It actually loaded up the first time, but it froze at the opening wallpaper with the lock on it. Wipe and reflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Well thank you for your help impaler. So far so good. I'm going to try a lot of different things to see if I can get it to lock up like it did for my friend last night. Hopefully it was just a bad flash. Again, thank you so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Sigh, it's freezing up on me. I tried exiting out of the apps menu and it locked up. Should I try a different kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not yet. Fix permissions from CWM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Done. So far so good after many tries to freeze it. If it does, what would be my next course?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Flashing an older kernel seems to work for some, it'd be this one :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
OK. I'm gonna be a damn pro by the time I get done with this phone! LOL Thanks :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, not a problem ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Got a freeze after a message came in, so I flashed the kernel. I also noticed I'm getting a fc on the email program. Not sure why, because it didn't do it before I flashed. Would it be possible to install SGS tools and install the other email app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Just clear the data of the email app in settings>applications>manage applications :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aron1980:
Causes it to FC a couple more times. My guess is it quits trying after that. Can I just uninstall it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah you can if you don't want it :) Use titanium backup to uninstall.

flashing full modem.bin

Just realized I posted under CWM 2.x,.. this is a question for the 3.x version.

Is there a reason CWM does not support flashing a full modem.bin?

It seems simpler to implement then delta files unless I'm missing something

Also,.. how do you apply the delta files? Do you have your own code for that and thus know the internal structure of the delta files?

I've been fine on the stock experience longer than I've ever been on any phone. However, I want to root now so that I can add wifi-tethering capabilities. But other than that I'm still fine with the stock experience (currently on stock EC05.)

If I'm reading this correctly though does this mean I HAVE to flash a new ROM after using this? And will that basically overwrite all my current settings? Sorry if that's screamingly obvious, but just want to confirm before I start venturing down this path.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yes, you need to make sure you have a rom on your sd card before you run this one click root. I do have a link to videos I made in my signature showing you how to do this if you need a visual :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grogck:
Thanks. Yes I saw one of your videos before which is why I'm probably going to pull the trigger and make the jump. It was MUCH easier to follow than a lot of these threads which usually assume a fair amount of back knowledge on the topic. Much appreciated for all those.

Onclick Root issues

I am currently having some issues getting the oneclickroot back on my phone and I am not really sure where I am encountering the problem or how to fix it.

Android Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: EC05

Filesystem EXT4

I am running MIUI custom ROM Version 1.2.11

I was able to install Clockwork Mod Rom manager and flash to the new CWM 3.0.2.4

When I try use the OneClick Root provided on the start of the thread it runs through everything but then I wind up with:

Cleaning up files...

rm: remove '/data/local/redbend_ua'?

(supplied image for download)

if I leave the phone plugged in the screen will just sit that way and never finish rooting. If I unplug it of course it says the device is no longer found and errors out.

Any help would be much appreciated its very annoying not being able to download stuff from the browser directly to the phone or use the wifi tether.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you already have CWM3.x, there's no need for this ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dykephiler:
not rooted

According to the wifi teather program its not rooted as well when you try to download anything from the browser it says that the file is unsupported like it would if the phone wasn't rooted. So I don't really know whats wrong then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
If you have CWM working, you are indeed rooted. Do any other rooted apps work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] angelo2k8:
Ok so I installed CWM and now it won't let me start the phone back up. It just stays on the black "Saumsung/samsungmobile.com" screen. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it?? =/
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Did you flash a rom right after your filesystem converted?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Doesn't sound like it ;) You'll need to do that.

Alarm?

So after rooting and applying this rom, I've noticed that the supplied alarm clock is lacking. I really liked the original stock alarm app, with one button for a monday-friday alarm, a smart alarm option, and slide to snooze or dismiss. Is there an any way to get this alarm back? I can't find it in the marketplace.

Ok. Download these drivers, extract the zip, then install. Reboot the computer, and try to run this again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fhurricane:
Still get the phone is not connected. Could the problem be the phone? I mean, I tried on linux where the drivers shouldn't be an issue, correct?

Hopefully I am doing everything right.

1) I put my phone in debug mode.

2) I installed the drivers for the phone on my computer.

3) I plug in the phone and activate the tool.

Am I missing a step anywhere?

Extract the files from the driver package....look for the Shrewsbury folder and manually install the driver....

Your flashable zip is using an amend update-script. You need one that uses edify.
