Cant root phone - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im trying to root my samsung epic 4g and fascinate i dl the drivers .. it says debugging connected i come from the hero forums so i understand a bit .... .now i try to use the one click root and it says phone not connected ..... y also on my windows it installed the drivers when the phone was inserted thanks

also when i connect phone to usb it says mount and when i hit it i do not see it on my computer wats wrong ?

to see your phone you must mount the sd card. and you need the sdk tool on your computer.
please correct me if im wrong.........any one?

It might be a problem with your usb cable. Are you using the cable that came with the epic? If so get a new one the one that comes with the epic is crap. Try monoprice.com they have good cables and great prices.

Try rooting without your SD card in the phone. unplug the USB, take your SD card out, plug in the usb, run the root.
See if that works.

[Q][Need help]Cannot mount sdcard

Hey guys. I have this problem with my inc.
Whenever i plug in my usb cord to a computer, my phone does not notify me about debugging or usb mounting. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem? My phone charges fine when pluggin in to the wall charger or a computer. Im currently running CM6.1 stable, tiamat's kernel, and my gingerbread theme. I do not recall when this started to happen, but i really need some help. Thanks in advance!

Ok back up the sdcard on the computer Like just put all the files somewhere
Then go to start/computer then right click the sd card click format and make sure click format isnt selected. After thats done put everything back on it.
Now since i wrote that i hope you have a micro sdcard adapter lol

Wireless?
Perhaps try Wireless ADB from the market and see if issue persists?
Similarly, I have used SwiFTP for many months to move files to/from PC.
As such, haven't had to connect USB cable from device to PC in quite a while.
ymmv

Nope. Nvm. Did some research and it was tiamat's 2.2.1 kernel that messed up my drivers on my phone

HELP Pls

i attempted to root my phone thats running froyo using the How-To [Root] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root method....needless to say it didnt work for me and was in a bootloop (Hboot said the bootloader was bypassed when trying to update) so what i did afterwards was batt pull and did a hard reset-clear storage and everything went back to normal so i hooked my phone to pc and attempted to try the process again but not the pc doesn't reconize the phone using usb and when i unplug the phone from usb it ALWAYS reboots... also the phone is not reading my sd card(sd card is fine i put it in my card reader and all files are still on there) any help?
as a side note to all who jus peeked at the thread.....when i connect the the phone to pc via usb i only have the sync and charge option...crazy thing is it still works running 2.1update jus no access to sd..so at least its not bricked right????
As a starting point I would suggest you save all the important files from your sd card onto your pc and then reformat the card on the phone(if it allows it) or using sd formatter or other software on your pc.

tried that already its like the phone is not reading the card or pc i used an adaptor to format the card in FAT32 and had the same issue.. but the phone still works fine...any other ideas?
You can try going into recovery using Droid explorer (pc software) and see if you might be able to mount the sd card that way.
In addition, you might need to reinstall the drivers for your phone on the computer, if I'm not mistaken installing HTC sync on your computer should take care of the drivers for you.

What you can do is start over by flashing the stock esprimg. And see if that puts back to stock with working usb

phone usb not recognised.

Im trying to connect my phone to my computer but when I connect the usb it doesnt allow me to mount the sd card. It just charges but nothing appears in the naotification bar. It used to work fine but now it doesnt let me connect my sd card.
Same problem here, it used to work... but not now. I tryed to uninstall and install again companion but did not solve it
I know that this ain't the solution but you could look into Wifi Syncr as a means to transfer files to your phone.
I can not mount my sd-card with Ubuntu, do I need some drivers and stuff?

Download the rom on your pc, connect the phone to the c via usb cable, on the phone select mount as disk drive, it'll pop up on your pc, drag it over, unmount / disconnect, reboot into recovery, do all the wipes I listed previously [dalvik cache is located under advanced] then install zip > select and flash, reboot.
my computer isent showing my device is it maybe because htc sync?
Did you mount as Usb mass storage in clockworkmod?

You ma need to install the drivers. Go to revolutionary.io to get them.

are you on a work computer? It is possible that your network administrator doesn't allow portable drives on their computers

When you plug it in, do you get a notification on the phone about USB connection? You need to select mass storage mode. If not you need to update the drivers on your computer.

Connect thru Kies Wifi, after 5 days of trying to make the drivers work , i gave up.... Use Kies or remove the card and read it with a card reader.

Driver issue. Follow these instructions, just change the kindle stuff to yours. It will work. Make sure to update the USB driver in SDK, and check it a second time in the SDK to be sure it updated. And remember to reboot after installing the new driver, it won't work otherwise.

You should also have a setting that says connect to pc on your phone, make sure it is set to prompt.
