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

There is a total of 4 drivers...you ended up going with the clockworkmod version or without?

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

With, didn't want to risk the root without incase its not meant for froyo. It seems like it worked though. A reboot widget that i wanted to use works now that the phone is rooted. The only weird thing is that the first page on may app screen is missing one icon at the bottom right, and the app to the left of it is called "superuser". i don't remember what 2 apps were there before. do you have any idea what i lost? i have a stock EB13 rom.

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

Super User is an app that keeps root under control..its similar to how windows asks you do you want to allow Admin permissions..same thing it by default bans all apps from using root permission without first asking you...then it saves your preferences.

It shouldn't remove any apps as far as I am aware :/

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

I figured thats what superuser was...hmmm...i wonder what i lost. Doesn't really matter though. EB13 is kinda glitchy and has way too much bloatware, and my battery life sucks, so im gonna flash a custom rom...any recommendations? speed, stability, and battery life are most important for me.

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

Well boils down to whether you want to go the EXT4 road..it gives you added speed but some claim some stability is lost..others are fine with it (in my case I am using EXT4).

EXT4 is the changing of the phones file system from RFS to EXT4..

To convert to EXT4 you gotta load up Clockworkmod 3 instead of 2 though...

As for roms there are a plenty to choose from, popular ones are:

Midnight rom, ACS Syndicate rom and Viper rom

For battery life you want a kernel thats UV aka undervolted...

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

cannot open what? the zip file or the run.bat? did your AV remove the .arm file?

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

3. extract and run run.bat
*Linux users chmod +x run.sh and run it, mac users chmod +x run_mac.sh and run it.*

I have a Mac and run the chmod +x run.sh in the terminal. It just pauses and goes to the command prompt again. Please help, my phone upgraded itself and unrooted. Running SPH-D700 2.2.1 Froyo.EC05 and need to root this beast!
