just so you know everyone of the guides is using Unrevoked forever to unlock nand there is nothing better right now since the unlock they use is actually as they say forever

Yea there's nothing wrong with the newer unrevoked. Full nand.

Unrevoked is the easiest way
I just rooted my evo like a week ago.. with unrevoked.. and its working great.. i think its the easiest way to root it. just install the drivers first. really easy..
GOOD LUCK

Thanks to everyone! Then i just probably'll use unrevoked!

Same here, I've used unrevoked for some time and no problems

It sounds like you have some misconceptions. Rooting doesn't give you the new recovery. The one-click does both root and recovery. Z4root just roots. Also, root access doesn't make market apps free.
And the easiest way to do it is the one-click.

Ok tnks 4 clarifing my misconception of the z4root but should I via odin back 2 froyo & find an easy 1click root & CWM 2 boot up to my epic 4g or is there sum tin I'm doing wrong here

[Q] Proper Steps for Rooting and s-off

Hi all, first.. I appreciate any help from this posting. Seriously!!
I've done rooting, s-off, roms, etc.. i'm pretty familiar with it all, just on another device (glacier)..
I'm a little lost when it comes to the epic and just need some direction so I can help my friend without bricking his phone..
What I want:
* root
* s-off
* clockwork
* custom rom
I found a rooting thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388. However I'm not sure if its the 'latest' method as I experienced the "phone not connected" problem. I plan on bypassing my usb hub tomorrow and try again.
Does this turn s-off? is s=on on this device? (i haven't looked yet).
Lastly, please recommend a rom! I'm running royalginger on my glacier and love it! (thanks faux!!)
This is a newly ordered device, appears to be running froyo? (2.2.1)
Once again, thanks for the shortcuts!
(yes, i did search.. still uncertain of appropriate steps)

Watch that. Teaches you about the Samsung Drivers you will need to install, how to root, and flash a SyndicateROM Frozen (great ROM)
Not sure about the s-off thing.
Hope this helps!

Bunch of other helpful videos and comments here too:

There is no need for S-off on epic, I believe he is referring to Nand Unlock which you find on a lot of the HTC and some other devices.

Awesome! This appears to be exactly what I needed! Very much appreciated.
glad I also now understand the epic (or samsung in general?) does not used nand, and no need for s-off.
Thanks again! Ill get this buttoned up for my buddy tomorrow.

Success!
I managed to screw it up and resolve it.. Here is the process i followed and problems i encountered with solutions.
i 1-click rooted based on the forum post and video after downloading all the necessary files...
Copied the rom over to the sdcard, booted into recovery and flashed the rom.
boned.. now it only boots into recovery.
Downloaded ODIN and updated rom (sorry, can't find the post.. it listed a replacement step 5 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing)
Attempted to flash ODIN, which resulted in several failures and an issue where I couldn't actually connect to the device. I HAD to swap USB ports, this time to the front of the machine.
After flashing ODIN, it would still boot directly into recovery. So i decided to flash the rom found within the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing).
Success! Stock rom.. rooted, this time with clockworkmod 3 (this was a separate download, sorry.. lost the thread. file was cwm3.zip. Also contained the 1-click root process).
Booted into recovery, and successfully flashed the rom after wiping cache/davlik.
Once again, thanks everyone!

Glad those videos helped

Glad you for it man. Ues you need cwm3 for most of the roms now cause there are mostly ext4 rom/kernels and not rfs

Samsung epic S-OFF?
I have a Sprint Samsung Epic 4g rooted. When I rename or delete stock apps they are instantly replaced. If the Epic doesn't need S-OFF (security off) as Onyoursix says, then how do I delete or rename stock apps and keep them off?

You need sdx app removal tool or root explorer, or mount the system directory as writeable in terminal. System is read only as default. You just need to be rooted and root explorer is great.

Root and Install CWM from stock

Hello guys, my first time posting here. I have an Epic 4G Touch, rooted and all so I understand how to use Odin, etc. So im down for spring break and my dad asked me to root his Epic 4G for him. I took a look in the dev section and you guys have a ton of stuff going on in there and I just dont know where to begin. I watched some of qbings vids but theyre all a bit outdated now. So my question would be, what is the fastest easiest way to obtain root and cwm so I can flash the cm9 beta0 on my dads phone? He is currently on firmware version 2.3.6, baseband EL30, build GB.EL30. Thanks in advance

Odin 1.85
EI22 kernel a.k.a GB3a.tar from mkasick search "epic 4g gb kernel source"
Clockworkmod 5 .tar
Put the phone the phone into download mode power and the 1 button uncheck auto reboot and f reset time nothing should be checked. Put the kernel in the pda section and hit start make sure odin coms and your not using a stock cable. Once down pop out the batter put it back into DLmode and put the clockworkmod.tar in the pda section and have just auto reboot checked. Hit start and once thats done you have clockwork mod. Just download the cm9 beta and the newest gapps 2012304 and place them on the sd card and flash it.

Ok when I odin the el22 kernel it still says I dont have root. To check, i dl'ed titanium backup and it said I dont have root permission?
edit: I went ahead and odined the shadow kernel which gave me root and cwm.

LOL you said you needed it to flash cm9? If you flash cm9 it would have given you root. Otherwise I would have given you an su.zip you never said you wanted to stay on stock
