qbking77 has done a nice video tutorial on using Windows to root and install ClockworkMod using this method. You can see his video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymN1H2e9YMk
Thanks qbking77!

Notes:
1. Button mappings are slightly different from older versions of CWM. Volume buttons = Up and Down, Power or Camera = Enter, Capacitive Back = Back. Capacitive Home also works as enter but not correctly from the main menu so if you hit it and the screen disappears hit Capacitive Home again or Capacitive Back to bring it back.
NOTE: As of 3.1.0.1 the buttons have been sorted out.
2. KNOWN ISSUE: When invoked, reboot recovery requires a re-plug of the usb cable for adb to work again. Simply unplug the usb cable and plug it back in.
3. If the script does not reboot your phone at the end please run the script again. If it still doesn't work reboot the phone and run the script again.
4. USB Mass Storage can be mounted from inside of recovery. 'adb shell' into the phone and type 'mountums' MAKE SURE YOU SAFELY REMOVE/EJECT BEFORE RUNNING 'umountums' to safely unmount sdcard.
NOTE: As of 3.1.0.1 mounting from the menu works again!
5. There is a Go Back menu option but it must be enabled. See the post here.
6. VIRUS ALERT!!! rageagainstthecage may be detected by your antivirus program but it is NOT harmful to your computer. See this post for an explanation.

doesn't seem to take long for this to occur, rooting Android devices that is

just for clarification:
Will this work on CDMA phones?

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

The Sprint Epic 4G only comes in CDMA ;)

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

Thank you. I am aware that the Epic is only CDMA and Sprint specific. I just wanted to make sure that these procedures were for the CDMA

I figured it was since it's in the CDMA forum, wasn't absolutely positive though since the instructions didn't indicate specifically

Thanks again!

Can some one upload a how 2 video to youtube im new to android

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g
 

Can we get a One Click Root solution? A lot of what I read above is like reading Greek. XDA has a supposedly one-click root but its full of bugs and needs work. So far I haven't had any luck with it.

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

I have tried the one-click root on 2 PC's and 2 Macs....and I have struck out every time. I've posted my results in another thread before the re-org of the Galaxy S forums so I won't re-post everything but on the PC's I get this:

and on the Macs I get a "bus error".

Thoughts?

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

on pc are you on a win7/vista..if so are you running it as administrator?

Edit: Just looked at previous thread and saw you got XP..

lets try this...

go into command prompt..and type the following replacing ([PATH] with the path to where you extracted the 1 click root)

SET PATH=%PATH%[PATH]

Then run it.

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

Thanks for the input gTen. I tried your suggestions but my result was basically the same thing. When I ran the one-click again I would get "no device found" message....so I'm thinking there must be some issue with the samsung's drivers not fully loading on either of the PC's (both running XP/32).

I repeatedly uninstalled/installed the driver but continued to get the same result. I do have admin privileges so I'm not sure what's going on.

I'll keep messing with it though.

late,
Coz

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

The no-device found is progress..that means ADB is running..now one thing, when you uninstall the drivers and install them back then plug it in..do you have 3/4 usb drivers finish loading on your system? (you can see them in the right corner usually when installing or in device manager)..also on yoru device there is an icon that its runnign in debug mode when you plug in right?

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

Holy shit....well this has been a near week long effort but I finally got this mother rooted. I did the "path" trick here on my work computer and it finally took!!!

Thanks gTen and everyone else who chimed in.

late,
Coz

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

No problemo :)

For reference if anyone in future gets the above issues:

The first issue most likely happened because when you ran it normally unlike running in command prompt depending on the configuration defaults to your home path rather then the actual path your in. So either running it directly in cmd prompt from the dir or changing the ENV path variable makes it work.

The 2nd issue is caused by drivers not fully loaded once you plug in the device or debug mode not enabled.

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

Downloaded SDX Stock App Removal and cleared out all that Sprint crap.

Thanks again for the help.

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

I think its a thing with Google chrome..check out the WIKI sticky thread for direct links

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

I'm using firefox.

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

well either way on the wiki are direct links that should work fine.

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

I had to do the path thing.
Otherwise it just said "error: device not found" or something like that.

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

actually, it's been sitting here: copy and run the exploit (may take 2 minutes)
for like 5 minutes.

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

I guess I don't know how to tell 3/4 or 2/4.. the version is 5.2.0.4.. does that mean 2/4? if 2/4 means 5.2.0.4... then why say not say 5.2.0.4? is it suppose to be 5.3.0.4

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

lol...ok its not versions...it means 3 out of 4..when you plug in the USB into your port..if the device is new it starts to install the drivers into that USB port...you gotta way till at least 3 out of the 4 drivers are installed before running run.bat...if you don't wait you will get "device not found" error...

If you have another usb port, plug it in and wait till it finishes installing drivers for that usb port...the status should be on the bottom right notification on your pc when you click on it.

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

yeah, I don't see anything new there in the tray.
I see ADB Interface, modem interface, and a Android USB composite device under the dev manager, but when I run the run.bat

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

now I've plugged/unplugged a bunch of times and it's sitting at
run.bat

Press any key to continue . . .

I guess I'll just let it sit there for ever?

ok, I had to unlock the screen... as soon as I did that, this popped up on the screen.

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

see that was simple enough :)

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

hm... I just saw in the device manager that the modem failed to install. could that be my problem?

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

yeah, but now it is sitting at this:
[*] adb connection will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and re-login.

it's again just sitting there.

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

still sitting there... not doing anything...

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

could someone change the name from "One Click Root" to "zero clicks, but a lot of things like plugging and unplugging the USB port and installing drivers, but it still doesn't root Root"?

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

ok try this..

adb kill-server

if it doesn't work start over following these instructions:

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

well... I'm not sure where I would type that... but my computer and phone both rebooted themselves so...

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

ok, after the reboot of my PC and my phone, it worked in seconds.
although, I'm not sure how to tell if I'm rooted...

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

download a root utility like titanium or wifi-tether and it will tell you.

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

titanium worked

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

The 32 and 64 bit drivers are not there. I get the "file not found" error

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

check out the wiki, they are there.

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

Does this method work on an updated D107 [i think thats the new version] Epic?

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

Added drivers to first post..
