Argg! Im still unable to root... i think it may be windows 7 or driver related because i cant root my epic on 2.2.1 or my gf's tmobile galaxy. ive tried 2 to root on 2 compaq cq62 laptops, one running 64 bit, one running 32, both with the same issues... "phone not connected"... at least mass storage has worked on her phone sometimes, never seems to work on mine... any way i can root both of these without a computer? i read where someone said they used one click root with no computer but i havent been able to find instructions on how to do this...

thanks man, i will give that a shot. also i just reinstalled the drivers again and i remember you asked what all drivers installed. so i
1 installed samsung drivers and restarted pc and phone
2 plugged in epic
3 when it said installing drivers i clicked on it to see what drivers installed.

samsung usb composite device, mobile modem, and mobile modem diagnostics serial all installed successfully. port (wdm) (com3) was still blank.

when i go to device manager and go to the samsung usb composite device properties it shows 3 drivers, sscdbus.sys, sscdwh.sys, and sscdwhnt.sys. so i have no clue what the issue is here. hopefully the link you provided works for me. ill keep you posted.

After trying several things I finally got rooted! I tried oneclick root, didn't work, z4root didn't work, gingerbreak didn't work. The only thing that worked for me is using odin and flashing a pre rooted rom. First I odined a stock rom that was prerooted and included cwm 2.5 and realized I needed cwm 3.0 to use ext4 and newer roms (right?). So I found another prerooted stock rom that flashed cwm 3.0. While trying to update to cwm 3.0, my phone would no longer boot! I thought I bricked it so I kept flashing flashing until it booted lol. I was scared as hell but the phone finally booted into clockworkmod 3 and I installed syndicate frozen rom. Now all is well, I'm on my first custom rom!

Gten, I wouuld like your opinion on which rom to flash? When it comes to wm, I am a energyrom with dinik anastasia theme type of guy. Anyone have a android rom with similar eyecandy? I think timeberwolf is making themes with similar icons

if your on syndicate frozen I would suggest flashing Journaling ON, and Genocide kernel..

if you want best rom overall..here is my question, do you want a Gignerbread Rom or a Froyo Rom?

gingerbread or froyo doesnt matter as long as its stable, i have no idea whats the difference is between the 2 lol. there is something wrong with the syndicate frozen rom with journaling pre-enabled. thats the first rom i tried to flash. after rom is installed, epic wont boot. the version with journaling off worked fine so i just turned journaling on with a zip i found. i have already found out first hand that journaling is a must lol. i had a few apps disappear on me when my battery died! also, what are some good themes? timberwolf seems to make good themes, ive tried blue midnight and now on blue glass theme. im really liking android so far.

what are the advantages of the genocide rom over the twilight?
