qbking77 has done a nice video tutorial on using Windows to root and install ClockworkMod using this method. You can see his video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymN1H2e9YMk
Thanks qbking77!

Notes:
1. Button mappings are slightly different from older versions of CWM. Volume buttons = Up and Down, Power or Camera = Enter, Capacitive Back = Back. Capacitive Home also works as enter but not correctly from the main menu so if you hit it and the screen disappears hit Capacitive Home again or Capacitive Back to bring it back.
NOTE: As of 3.1.0.1 the buttons have been sorted out.
2. KNOWN ISSUE: When invoked, reboot recovery requires a re-plug of the usb cable for adb to work again. Simply unplug the usb cable and plug it back in.
3. If the script does not reboot your phone at the end please run the script again. If it still doesn't work reboot the phone and run the script again.
4. USB Mass Storage can be mounted from inside of recovery. 'adb shell' into the phone and type 'mountums' MAKE SURE YOU SAFELY REMOVE/EJECT BEFORE RUNNING 'umountums' to safely unmount sdcard.
NOTE: As of 3.1.0.1 mounting from the menu works again!
5. There is a Go Back menu option but it must be enabled. See the post here.
6. VIRUS ALERT!!! rageagainstthecage may be detected by your antivirus program but it is NOT harmful to your computer. See this post for an explanation.

doesn't seem to take long for this to occur, rooting Android devices that is

just for clarification:
Will this work on CDMA phones?

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

The Sprint Epic 4G only comes in CDMA ;)

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

Thank you. I am aware that the Epic is only CDMA and Sprint specific. I just wanted to make sure that these procedures were for the CDMA

I figured it was since it's in the CDMA forum, wasn't absolutely positive though since the instructions didn't indicate specifically

Thanks again!

Can some one upload a how 2 video to youtube im new to android

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

Can we get a One Click Root solution? A lot of what I read above is like reading Greek. XDA has a supposedly one-click root but its full of bugs and needs work. So far I haven't had any luck with it.

Re: Permanent root and one click root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

I have tried the one-click root on 2 PC's and 2 Macs....and I have struck out every time. I've posted my results in another thread before the re-org of the Galaxy S forums so I won't re-post everything but on the PC's I get this:

and on the Macs I get a "bus error".

Thoughts?

Re: Permanent root and one click root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

on pc are you on a win7/vista..if so are you running it as administrator?

Edit: Just looked at previous thread and saw you got XP..

lets try this...

go into command prompt..and type the following replacing ([PATH] with the path to where you extracted the 1 click root)

SET PATH=%PATH%[PATH]

Then run it.

Re: Permanent root and one click root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

Thanks for the input gTen. I tried your suggestions but my result was basically the same thing. When I ran the one-click again I would get "no device found" message....so I'm thinking there must be some issue with the samsung's drivers not fully loading on either of the PC's (both running XP/32).

I repeatedly uninstalled/installed the driver but continued to get the same result. I do have admin privileges so I'm not sure what's going on.

I'll keep messing with it though.
