Please be patient while root is being worked on by myself.
The mount points need to be adapted from the process I have in mind and it might take a while.
In the mean time, I would encourage everybody to join the freenode irc we have going and join the cause.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=epic-touch4g
Checklist.
[] Obtain root with a certain method on a stock Epic Touch.
[] Pull stock zImage.
[] Pull initramfs.
[] Build kernel with root.
Good luck ....bubby!!

As a former Epic 4G user, I hope you are correct. Our dev section was and is a bit of a wasteland. We had very few ROM updates from Sprint and were it not for Samfirmware, we still would not have Gingerbread.

Same here. I can only imagine how much good stuff we will have to flash in a few months. I think this phone will stay relevant for a long time. I mean, what can't we do on this beast?

As far as I can tell by examining the install script, this is not a permanent install.
Everytime you reboot, it will go back to the original CWM and you will have to run the install again to get this recovery.

You are right. It works perfectly. Does backups and installs but won't stick. How can we make it stick sfhub? By packing it into a stock kernel?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Yes, pack it into a stock kernel and flash/install the resulting kernel.
Curious, have you tried flashing the modem?

So does anyone still have this version of the kernel? The one with oc & uv. I know its very outdated but I have never seen any kernel run as well as that one did on my phone. Idk how I lost it. I tried downloading it from the kernels thread but its link is dead. Does anyone have it lying around on their computer somewhere?=)

Or if you're in a rush you can extract the kernel from simplesensei new Rom. It has bbelos FC09 kernel built into it.

I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Well I was able to using a app. Im cursed with having a broke volume down button, so that was my only choice since i couldnt get to download mode without rooting and using a widget to reboot to download mode.
I have to dig around for the app but I know I saved it just in case...
Actrully found it I used a app called framaroot.

Interesting. It's worth a shot OP. Worst case, it fails and you uninstall. If it is successful, you can install mobile odin, then get the latest gb27 tar, and money. While you're at it, you will have to flash a cwm custom jb kernel, since you're on ics, and, MO won't flash modems, you'll need a jb modem to use data on gb27. Download the zip though of the modem . Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hopefully it works for you. I don't see why it wouldn't. Might be more complicated but it worked for me. but of course YMMV. Just follow what jdsingle76 said you you'll be good to go.
