The 1 click root in this thread is for 2.1 and 2.2 only...

If you want root on 2.3 there are multiple ways to do it..


1 way to to flash a pre-rooted rom:

Thanks! Not sure what was going on. Will try when i get back to work tomorrow. That pc is the only one that i can get to recognize my epic. Have tried different cables and usb ports and 2 different pc's that i have at home. finally got it to recognize at work today only to find out that the download wasn't working for me.

Thanks again,
jc

your work may be using a proxy..as for recognizing, you tried installing drivers?(and made sure when you plugin all the 4 drivers install properly for that port?) and if on a desktop using the back ports?

i have tried using different ports and different cables. Worked as far as recognizing the phone and the sd card. As soon as i turn on debugging, i get an error... found usb composite device. A problem occurred during the installation and the device may not work properly. Then i get the same thing with Android UMS.

this is frustrating. thanks for your help.

So...I have an issue getting my laptop (Toshiba Satellite running windows 7 premium) to show my epic in the adb device manager. I've made a lot of progress considering I couldn't get any computer to recognize the phone at all.

I've tried running the oneclick exploit v.2.5.5, I've tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling a couple different driver packs. I've tried fixing the connectivity issue by installing kies to see if that would help...Kies doesn't even support the epic (which is awesome, seeing as though they're both made by the same company...) I've gone here: Install ADB, USB Drivers For Android [Step-by-Step Guide] and gone through that grueling process, twice. Once on my laptop, and another on my friends laptop (running win xp sp2: it wouldn't even recognize the phone at all...) I've gone into the sys32 folder and searched for the msxml6.dll file and reinstalled it and re-registered that and msxml3.dll files which helped a little (allowed me to find out that kies 2.0 wouldn't support my phone).

Overall when I try to run the adb or the run.bat file the command prompt is telling me the phone is not connected. I've tried 4 different cables, different usb ports, 2 different computers with 2 different OS's, unplugging, rebooting after installs/uninstalls, turning the phone on and off, unplugging, ending the adb process and restarting, etc. I'm nearing my end of day 2 of my failed attempts to get this thing rooted. In the command prompt I've tried to get it to list the device. Needless to say, I'm getting more frustrated, although that more determined to get the damn thing rooted.

Anything I'm missing in this equation?

Sprint forced Samsung to remove Kies support from the Epic so its not gonna work..though it generally does do well at installing the drivers.

Anyways..first of all is your pc 32bit or 64bit? and are you using 32bit drivers or 64bit drivers?

Have you tried using a usb hub?

next...try uninstalling all drivers, kies and everything..install proper drivers, restart your phone, enable usb debugging..now plug in the phone on the bottom right it should be installing 4 drivers to that usb port..which drivers does it install?
