See threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1339478

http://forums.androidcentral.com/epi...tructions.html


(Froyo
One Click Root & ClockworkMod version 3.1.0.1[RFS & EXT4]

Download: http://devphone.org/files/epic4g/one...1.0.1-EC05.zip

UPDATED 6/24/2011
updated to Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.1_purple by DRockstar
updated busybox to latest (1.18.4)
updated recovery.fstab
tweaked script to hopefully improve success rate
fixed redirector (again)
plus some other misc fixes

Includes:

New ClockworkMod (v3.0.2.5)
koush's latest hacked adbd
Superuser.apk (v2.3.6.1)
busybox (v1.18.0.git)
su (v2.3.1-ef)
Switched to bmlwrite for flashing
Added scripts for mounting UMS (by DRockstar)
FIXED REDIRECTOR!!!
Rom Manager Compatible
Works properly on Mac OSX

Tested with EC05 (Froyo), EB13 (Froyo), and DI18 (Eclair)
Works on: Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX
For future reference the rageagainstthecage root exploit has been patched in Gingerbread. Refer to DRockstar's post on Gingerbreak for rooting Gingerbread (this also works on the Epic running Froyo)


Instructions:

Windows
:
1. Extract zip to a folder
2. Ensure phone is in usb debugging mode and connected to your computer
3. Run the run.bat
4. Follow on screen instructions

Linux:
1. Extract zip to a folder
2. Ensure phone is in usb debugging mode and connected to your computer
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped folder
4. Type: chmod 777 run.sh
5. Type: ./run.sh
6. Follow on screen instructions

Mac OSX:
1. Extract zip to a folder
2. Ensure phone is in usb debugging mode and connected to your computer
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped folder
4. Type: chmod 777 run.sh
5. Type: ./run.sh
6. Follow on screen instructions

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.

Re: Permanent root for the Samsung Epic 4g

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

just for clarification:
Will this work on CDMA phones?

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!

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:

Quote:
exploit made by joeykrim and one click installer made by noobnl
Press any key to continue . . .
copy and run the exploit (may take 2 minutes)
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

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

Thoughts?

Coz

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
