Antivirus
your antivirus thinks rage is a virus disable all anti virus programs and disconnect from the net.
it is deleting rage when you download it
also which antivirus are you running?
This should be in Q & A. Rageagainstthecage is the exploit used to root your Epic. your anti-virus on your PC may have deleted it.
You need to re boot phone & pc after installing drivers. Don't worry you can keep trying to root with no ill effects. Also make sure you post questions in q&a section not dev section. This is a do it yourself community maybe try craigs list for someone wanting to root your phone.

I had a similar problem this most recent time re flashing and rooting my phone however I didnt get the missing file error, just the connection error. All I had to do was reinstall the drivers once or twice and it was fine. Just a finicky computer.

if you join the irc channel (there is a thread in the general section with the info/link) we have people there almost all the time willing to help out
Are you still using the stock USB cable? If so pitch it and try a better cable. That solved a lot of my flashing issues.

Hi everyone. I am new to the incredible section...I am not a newb to rooting and flashing as I come from the HD2 section. However I am trying to root a friends incredible and I have done everything needed to get unrevoked on on my computer with the correct drivers. I tried to root it several times and it just gives me the "error root failes, is your firmware too new?".
I have tried to do the Z4root way like mentioned in another thread and I just get the same thing. Does anyone have any solid help or advice? Trust me I have searched over and over.

Is it an AMOLED or Super LCD? I remember having a fight with my GF's SLCD incredible because it gave the same error. Do you have the ADB driver installed properly?

It seems to be a AMOLED...I turned it on with the lights out and the screen didnt glow before the HTC screen (I read that was the way to check). I do have the drivers installed correctly. I have tried on two different computers too...one is windows 7 and the other is Vista.

Hi dude,
I just rooted using the same method, and the first time I got the same messege about new firmware, then on the second attempt, I discovered my mistake... you're supposed to have your phone un-plugged before clicking on the start button, then plug in. Hope it helps, I'm rooted now, Yah!

Yes you don't plug it in till you have the reflash open if you had it plugged in the hole time you will get errors good find I didn't think of that

Thanks guys...I have tried it that way and no change.
it may sound stupid but have you tried rooting without the sd card on the phone...
Well, just the sake of trying it, just uninstall any user app you installed. I was getting the problem, the unrevoked website mentioned the possibility of some apps interfering. I only had 3 installed, but it made a difference.

-Make sure USB debugging is Checked on the phone
-Allow ADB and anything else to connect to internet when Unrevoked is running if you have a firewall installed
-I think HTC Sync should be UNINSTALLED but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
-And for goodness sakes restart your computer atleast lol just kidding but seriously I hope this helps
Well I finally got the root to take! What finally did it was uninstalling some apps! Thanks again everyone for your help!

i know you have already got it working but i just wanted to add something because i did not see it suggested, by the way glad you got it figured out.
when i first did mine i was having exact same issues, and tried 3 different computers, all with win 7, i was using zonealarm extream security on them, which is a fire wall and virus software, i was dissabling it on all atempts but what i forgot was win7 automatically turns on windows firewall when you dissable a aftermarket one. well i finaly remembered that and turned it off and it work first try.
so just wanted to throw that in for anyone reading this, just one more thing to check if you are having issues.

I read something about not using a computer to root; but I could not find anything on getting back to stock without a computer (the question was posed on a few different sites).
My only thought would be to have someone on stock rom, to root and do a backup with CWM; then copy that backup folder off their phone to someplace you could download it using your phone (like google documents).
then you could boot to recovery and flash EXT42RFS.zip from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362
then use cwm to restore from that backup and it would put stock ec05 on your phone; seemingly back to stock except for the recovery.
thats what i was thinking also couldnt find a downloadable back up to put on to my phone if any one is willing to help me with a flashable backup for clockwork mod im using version 3.0.0.6 i think
Similar issue.
I am looking into a solution. Let me get right back at you.

As far as I know there is no way to unroot without a computer. However you can make it look like stock for the return. When you installed CWM 3.0.0.6 on your phone and it converted to EXT4 it made a nand backup called beforeEXT4conversion or something like that. Restore that nand and do a factory data reset from inside settings>privacy on your phone.

Who knows, that may also fix your phone to connect again. Does it make the connection noise on the computer? If so, go into Control Panel, System, Device Manager and look for something connected to your USB or Other. It will probably say Samsung Android. Choose Update Drivers on that and it will take about 10 minutes to get the drivers and install and you should be able to work from the computer again.

Please help me root this device. I have only ever done my Gs2 a few times with flashing etc, so am basically a complete noob.
I have tried for the last couple of hours and am wanting to go mad. I have followed all the lines about unlocking the device and the fastbook oem unlock, But all it ever tells me is waiting for device. Im guessing im missing drivers, but I have dont the samsung drivers a couple of times, and unzipped and followed the instructions.
Any easier to follow guides or info out there that can help me?
When I plug the phone in to unlock it, i dont get the usual ding from windows, i just get a little thre dings like it doesnt know what it is.
please help. Thanks....
Ps, sorry if I am being stupid or cluttering the forum. cheers..

Haven't rooted mine yet, I'll be doing it at the weekend. Had loads of issues with the drivers when I rooted my Nexus S. In the end I installed PDA net on my PC - the drivers installed with that worked fine (you don't actually use PDA net thereafter) Not sure if this works with the GN but you will not do any harm trying it.

Cheers guys, Im so new to this, its so frustrating. Its got to be a driver issue. My comp reconises the phone when its on, but when its in bootloader mode, windows is giving me three dull bells when connecting the device....
will have a look at the other thread, Have already read that one I think, and looked so foreign to me!!! lol
I cant pst in the other thread, but have downloaded and installed pda net for android, and when it gets to installing the drivers from the phone, it does it all, ie galaxy nexus , the other driver that i cant remember and the galaxy driver is not installing. Even gone two miles down the road and got a different laptop. no matter what I download or ty and install it just dnt do it.
can some one either make a real simple idiots guide for me the idot, or locally please let me pay you a small fee to root these two phones. Im almost in tears after 5.5 hours of constant crap and pathetiness.
Wishing right now i had not bthered with these phones. At least my s2 and flashing was simple.
It says "waiting for device" because for some crazy reason when you are in fastboot mode Windows (which is what I'm using) uses a different USB driver than when you are in "normal" usb connect mode.
What you need do to sort it out is to go to Device Manager and change the driver to use the Samsung instead of whatever crazy one Windows has decided to use. Then you can carry on with doing the bootloader unlocking.

Ok so what have you done so far?
You have the pdanet drivers installed on your pc?
You need to boot into fastboot mode to install the driver you need to root your phone.
*THIS* guide will explain what adb and fastboot are exactly.
*THIS* guide will show you how to set up adb and fastboot.
When unlocking the bootloader you will need the file fastboot.exe which you can put in the root of your c drive for easy access. The atteached file needs to be renamed from .zip to .exe as you cant attach .exe files in xda.
If you have any more questions then just ask .
Mark.
ok..... having gone through similar a few minutes ago.
The drivers kept saying that they had failed to install. kept trying over and over.
then i twigged:
1) made sure debugging mode was on
2) Rebooted the unit into bootloader mode - suddenly the adb driver installed successfully doh !
wonder if this is the same issue you are having ... the adb drivers only install successfully once the nexus is connected via usb and in bootloader mode
of course you may know all that already but it had me stumped for a while
Thank you guys, some good info and detailed posts, which is what I was hoping for! I'm in bed now, but will give this a blast and report back tomorrow!
Really appreciated!
Thanks .......

Big thanks to everyone. Woke up with a clearer head and proceeded to try again. Done as wilbur said and installed drivers in recovery mode. And perfect.......
after so many problems all was sorted. Then used superboot, and all was ok. 2 galaxy nexus's rooted. think the lesson learnt is to walk away instead of furiously trying things.
Cheers for all the input. What a easy methd ONCE all the drivers are there!!
Cheers people
Glad you got it sorted

should be no prob with superoneclick. Try it! I've never bricked a phone with it, superoneclick will just error or hang as a general rule if it cant do it. Oh yeah I take no reponsiblity...blah blah blah. (Btw, its how I did my 5660m, and my wife's, and my kids' - 5 rooted phones in total). I now happily run ICS on it and am about to JB it .

Oh gawd, its been a while. Here, do this. Download the most current superoneclick from shortfuse. Enable usb debugging on your phone. Make sure latest samsung drivers are on your pc (they can be found on this site). Plug in phone and start superoneclick. Click on "root" and you should be good to go. Watch the log on the right hand side, it'll give you a realtime update as to what's going on. That's best as I can remember, I'll try to find you an appropriate tutorial, but try that for now. Don't forget, if it works for you and you're satisfied, maybe hit the in program donate button for shortfuse.

It can't be the issue with the cable as I am able to use the cable for other things like backups and moving data from phone to PC etc. The issue with the Factory reset is that i dont have a spare phone at the moment. So if this device screws i am dead without a mobile to use.
Let me search some more and if I can find a solution i will post it here. Else I am going for the Cyanogenmod installer. I am tired of this.
