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

Yesterday I gave 2.2.6 a shot from 2.2.4 for the Super User capability...(which pretty much lets you control which apps have root access and which don't)

And I got that "no device" error even though get-state showed a device...looks like a solution for this is to do:

adb kill-server

soft reset the phone and try again

and it worked..so if anyone experiences this with the new root its something to try.

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

i actually had that error show up as well when i did it last night. i didnt do the adb-kill server, but i did unplug the usb connection, turned my phone off for 30 seconds, restarted, did the procedure over again and it worked fine. i did notice that in the notifcation tray of my laptop it said that it was still trying to connect/recognize the device. after the restart it went fairly easy.

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

has anyone else had problems with the cdc abstract control model acm connecting? if so how do you get it to connect. please help

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

I do not think that one is necessary for rooting..but you can install it by goign to device manager, choose to install the driver manually and pick the 16_shrewberry folder

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

No matter what I do, it keeps showing offline in adb devices. I just can't seem to get it to work. The three drivers are installed and in their respectful locations in device manager. Suggestions?

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

manually put driver on pc, are you on a w7 pc?

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

I am on Windows 7. I was trying with my laptop, became frustrated. Finally, I switched to a PC when I got home, also running Windows 7, and it worked the first time. It must be my laptop.

Anyway, thanks!

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

had same issues with my w7 lappy but manual driver install worked, glad your all good.

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

does this offer full nand or full ulock as well? aslo i recently used this method to ulock a friends new epic and wifi tether doesn work. when i check the log its not able to set channel.. could this be a serperate issue?

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

Which wifi tether are you using? and what version?

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

the one where the icon looks like a green wifi symbol. i dont recall the exact version number but i do remember it was pre 13

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

Thats Android-Wifi-Tether.

The 2.4 root comes with full root, busy box, super user and clockworkmod recovery.

The 2.3 version offers same as above minus clockwork mod. (Also not sure if its froyo compatible)

Have you tried using another rooted tool such as Titanium backup?

as for the wireless, have you tried to manually set the channel?

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

yeah. i used TB and it said i was rooted. ive got rom manager on his phone and the su app. i also tried manually changing the channel. im used to my evo. i thought it was strange that it set it self up as ad-hoc. anyway his laptop sees his phone but just wont connect properly. i even have sevurity off. right not its running a rotted stock rom only. is there something else i should try or somewhere else i should look.

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

If your using stock rom..then try MobileAP..its much better.

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

Does it work under the concept w/o being monitored?

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

It replaces the Sprint Hotspot with the original Hotspot called MobileAP from the i9000..it was suppose to be free for all Galaxy S users but as you can guess...Sprint wants to charge money for it....once you put hte i9000 version in, there is no issue and no 30$ a month or anything.

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

thanks! where can i find this version to install it?

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

Here is the Epic version. It will replace the Sprint Hotspot. Will be found in Settings/wireless & networks/Mobile AP.

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

and theres no extra steps to take to install this when using the one-click method to root? and im assuming it installs the sme way it does on my evo?

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

Yea , you install it through Clockwork.
Put it on Sd card,
In Clockwork choose
-install zip from sdcard,
-choose zip from sdcard.
Reboot, done.
Replaces Sprint version.
Get to it in Settings/wireless&networks.

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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..

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

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.

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

Its not complicated...once you know whats going on...first I need to ask what windows are you using? and is it 32bit? 64bit?

Lastly when you plug it in, on the bottom right it should say installing drivers..when you click on it..you will see 4 drivers being installed..did all of them finish installing?

(If your on a desktop I would suggest using a back usb port for this)

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

think i got it.. didn't know had to do it from the C: drive..was trying from desktop folder

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

Ha! Got it on first try!

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

"push: recoveryfiles/e2fsck -> /system/bin/recoveryfiles/e2fsck
failed to copy 'recoveryfiles/e2fsck' to '/system/bin/recoveryfiles/e2fsck': No space left on device"


never see that before... what is that all about?

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

Kwik question...wth is superuser?
Earlier I tried to root to flash another rom..but couldn't Get the drivers to install..but neway..was jus wonderin what it is cuz I cudnt remove from applications uninstall

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

Superuser is what gives you root access and allows you to do all things that made you want to root your phone in the first place. I don't know if its even possible to remove it, but don't. Without Superuser none of the apps that require root access will work.

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

nice...so heres the dumb question..my epic is now rooted, yes??

The link for the wiki is in the first post.

As far as Clockwork goes, this is the Clockworkmod thread. Just go back to the first post and start reading (after you read the Wiki).
