My Epic Just Refuses to be Rooted - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So last night I tried running the one click root with CWM 3, and it ran, but got stuck installing the recovery image, so I disconnected, rebooted, and ran again. Now it won't run cuz Asphalt and Free HD game demos are gone. What can I do? I really don't want to Odin just to get those two apks back

Odin a prerooted tar.. or manually install the recovery because if you made it that far ur phone should be rooted... is superuser in the app drawer now??

It was, but then I ran the one click again and it froze up my whole phone, it wouldn't even start. Somehow, messing around with Odin unlocked it, but superuser was gone, but my phone was back to normal (still missing those two apps)

There is not enough room for one click to run and copy so it deletes those 2 apps to make room. When you are rooted move a bunch of stuff to SD card and you can download and install them again.

But the problem is that I can't root. I'll try a different computer later to see if that solves anything

Make sure Superuser is not still on your phone. Go into manage applications>all and see. If it is there, clear data in it. Then try one-click again.

That's what I do.
I've never gotten the one click script to work. I assume it's because I'm dumb or my hardware isn't compatible or something. It always says "phone not connected" even though it is connected and I have the proper drivers installed.
pre-rooted tars in odin are just so much easier.

If you are getting "phone not recognized" error it is 99% of time your cable you are using. The factory cable is junk!

Blackberry cable FTW! I agree. I always use my blackberry cable and never have problems.

Anyone have any explanation as to why my phone locked up while running the one click and then fixed by using Odin, abiet with everything still intact? In scared I messed up something behind the scenes. And where and how do I get a flashable tar to root my phone with?

Yeah, that shouldn't of happened unless flashed only a modem instead of a full tar. They should be greater than 150MB. Here is the link for an EB13 prerooted tar set, also in development there are a bunch of new EC05 files.

No. You have to either Odin to EC05 or flash ReRFS ROM and stock recovery. Unless that forces the phone to download and install the stock ROM. Sprint tried that with my phone and it did not work properly.

If you're trying to get him back to stock, your best bet is Odin EC05 and let it update OTA to EI22. A factory reset won't lose root, but that may be your problem...depends on why you want to return to stock. If it's to get it fixed by taking it into a store, they'll either see Superuser, or there are a variety of other ways to see if a phone is rooted or not.

Odin will wipe SU and any indication from the phone itself.
Its the tell-tale signs on your SD card they might see... keep your sd card or remove files like "clockworkmod" and the like.

Yup, recovery is what I was thinking about, but that's just one thing. As tony said, go through your SD card too. There are traces of root (not literally) all over the place there! Not only the 'clockwork' folder, but also the 'Titanium Backup' folder if you have one, and really, about any zip files that aren't 'update.zip'.
If you're super paranoid about it, you could also set up another Google Account to link that with your phone. If you've bought apps with specific root capabilities (Titanium Backup for example), they could see it on your Google Account.
That piece is only if you're super paranoid, but just an idea. This way, after you Odin (which replaces CW recovery with stock recovery), you can login with the 'other' Google account and you'll have virutally zero apps associated with that account. I would probably throw a few games on there, maybe import a few contacts, just to be safe.
I doubt any Sprint employees would go to this length, but if you literally wanted to cover all your bases, this is where you would start.

[Q] Is it possible to go fully stock with out using Odin??

the tittle says it all. i want to go stock to take it back to sprint. b/c my phone is defected. my phone cant tell when its connectedto my computer.. it just keeps charging and never gives me an option to use the usb mas storage. yeah i tried changing cables, using different computers, disable usb debugging, tried different roms, tried going to recovery and mounting my storage. nothing works.. my phone works perfectly with a custom rom. however, I cant connect to my computer.. my phone is not bricked it just wont connect to my computer. so im trying to go back fuclly stock with out using ODIN.. (FORUM PLZ HELP)
Not sure why you have 2 threads about the same thing.. but anyways..
You might want to try out Mobile Odin
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
It's $3.99, but well worth it.. I think anyone messing with custom ROMs and rooting their phones should have this just in case.
I'd actually like a youtube tutorial on this same process. Mobile odin confuses me a bit after using pc odin for years on my vibrant.

You can technically create an update script to flash via CWM and flash everything but the bootloaders...
there are some more advanced ways to flash bootloaders manually.. but I wouldn't recommend it unless you REALLY know what you're doing.. You can brick your phone, so it's not even worth it. I'm not sure they can even see the bootloader version anyhow, so it doesn't really matter.

You don't need root access to flash the kernel, since you would still be on custom recovery. So yeah flash a stock unrooted rom, then proceed to flash a stock kernel with stock recovery.

Or if for some strange reason it doesn't work in that order just flash the stock kernel first (it won't change until you reboot) then flash the stock rom without root.

So the only close enough to stock rom that i found is this one should i use this one ????? damme this is a headache http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415924
You could also use terminal emulator on the phone and run the script from sfhub thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728) to install stock EG30+stock recovery, and run unroot script straight from the phone. Then just use file explorer to delete the 000root directory.
Since your phone wont recognize the computer you can always copy the files over by using a sd card reader.
So i went to the sprint store...and i told the tech support guy that my phone was not connecting to my computer and he took a quick look at my phone and said did you rooted??? and i frozed and he continued, if you rooted your phone then thats the problem. i told him that it was more of a hardware issue not a software...he wasnt even paying attention to me.. he just said stop messing with the phones if u dont know how to how to fix them.. i was so madd i felt like throwing him my phone at his face.. but then i thought to my self.. my phone is not messed up.. it just doesnt recognize my phone.. plus i got the XDA community..

Just take your phone into sprint with it rooted. The first thing they will do is return it to full stock to see if that solves the problem. Sprint's policy is to service all phones rooted or not. Just expect it unrooted when they hand it back.

It doesn't really "change by itself". What is really happening is the CWM Touch you flashed is a fake flash and isn't persistent. It works immediately after the fake flash, but since it wasn't actually flashed, at next reboot, it will go back to original. You need to install a CWM Touch that is actually packed into a kernel, then it will be persistent.

If you can ODIN without issue then nothing's ever really lost. Worse comes to worst you just have to redo all of your rooting again.
If you connect to your pc does adb recognize it? If so can you push your saved files to the sdcard internal?

Flashed Stock, Phone still thinks I'm on a Custom Rom

So I downloaded the stock firmware for my phone to flash via Odin, (The Samsung GS4 M919V), and I just noticed that the phone still thinks i'm on modified software. Is there anyway to fix this? I want to be 100% on stock so I can receive OTA updates...

I'm not longer rooted. I don't see why the flash counter would make my device "modified". On my S3 I had a huge flash counter and when I'd flash stock I was able to install OTA's.

Do you by any chance have a microSd card plugged in? I'd recommend you take it out, reboot and see if you still get the same message. Also delete any rom, root files you may have on your Internal & external SD.

By flashing stock it's assumed that it's also a factory reset. None the less I just factory reseeted the phone and it didn't do anything. In order to use Triangle Away, I need to be rooted, which I am not.

Get Triangle Away and use CF-Auto-Root to root but leave you with stock. Reset the flash counter and use the workaround which delays loading superuser on each startup. That makes your phone report "official". Then factory wipe.

Nothing you flash will reset you back to an official status. You MUST use triangle away. Period.

Try this if you haven't already. Use the 'UVUAMDL official' tar and make sure to MD5 the file after downloading.

This is a great tutorial, however, just following this tutorial alone, will restore you to stock with a CUSTOM bootloader status.
Use triangle away to reset the flash counter, once triangle away is finished, it will ask if you wish to reboot to system, or reboot to download mode. Select download mode, then follow that tutorial.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I put my S4 in download mode checked the md5 of the suggested tar file but it failed again

I was able to flash the original original tar file just fine. So I know its not my phone. Maybe I need to wait till the Nexus ROM on the 26th. Can't even get the baseband up
