You're not alone. I went through EXACTLY what you just went through when I got my Epic on launch day. The funny thing is that 2 months from now you will wonder why you were ever stressed out. It gets easier the more you learn and the more you experiment.

if any new peeps need help feel free to pm me and we can jump on a chat and fix ya up. i got pretty good at it with what i learned from gten and w7 seems to have most issues i see and a manual install of one of the drivers sometimes is needed.

Re: One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! Now has ClockworkMod!
 

Guys,
I want to try this on my wife's phone. But I need to back the phone up and apps up first (she will kill me if she looses her Angry Birds levels). I wanted to use Titanium Backup to restore all her apps and data,but of course it says for Rooted Users only. So I assume it wont back the phone up at all til the phone is rooted. But that means she will loose everything.

Any ideas?

You shouldn't generally brick the phone by rooting...

The newer root installs clockwork as well but if you use the older root all it does is execute ADB commands...aka 0% change of bricking

Also, there is an app called z4root with option to Root temporarily..

i can't root to save my F*n life..

I plug phone in after installing the samsung drivers not sure what the 2/4 3/4 thing means.. i waited till bar was 3/4 full and plugged phone in.. the comp sees it's plugged in but when run one click it doesn't let it do anything..

try exploit and it says phone's not plugged in.. try one click clockwork and get a bunch of failed's.

I used to do WM and that was easy so why is this so damn complicated?

Also when i install the drivers x64 bit (cause win 7 64 bit) i have to keep reinstalling it for it to see the phone as a drive on comp..but moment i unplug and plug back in.. it's gone.. ahve to reinstall drivers all over again.
