Root! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Once you root through odin can you flash roms through ROM manager or have to do it manually through cwm recovery?

I would say manually. Rom manager is not yet supported on this phone yet.

Why doesn't my phone like custom ROM'S?

I have followed the rooting method 2 times now and I keep having the same problem. My phones lock screen comes on about every 15 seconds and stays on for about 10 seconds. This completely kills the battery in about 3 hours with no use of the phone at all. I've rooted and in-rooted twice now. No problems at all when I'm stock. I don't do anything to the kernel, either. I just use what the ROM comes with. I've tried CWM7 and two Sense ROM'S. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

hmmmm very odd. did you do full wipes when installing new roms? i've had quite a few rooted phones and have never seen this issue personally. maybe your power button is schitzing out.

Both times that I've rooted, this happens. It doesn't do this unrooted, though. I used the guide on YouTube linked from droidforum.net and I got the links for the zips from there, too.

I did full wipes both times from the recovery menu.

very odd I'm stumped. did you root with revolutionary?
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's the method i used. the first time i did it was on 2.3.3 and the second time was on 2.2.1. i was hoping that that would make some kind of difference, but it didn't.
tell you what. try rerooting then after revolutionary kicks you into recovery just flash a custom ROM instead of the root zip. the custom ROM will be rooted anyway. wipe fist of course just to be safe

this is the walk through that i used and the links.

do you think it could have anything to do with the links? maybe they're not current?
so to be clear. flash back to stock unrooted gingerbread. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. make sure a custom ROM is on your sd. wipe then flash ROM zip. don't install the root zip. don't know if that will do it just brainstorming

that's how I rooted. no sense flashing the root zip if your just gonna flash a custom rooted ROM anyway

what do you mean my "root zip"?
i run Revolutionary, then install CWM and SU. i even had this problem when i was only rooted, no custom ROM's, kernals, or root apps installed.
that's what I mean don't install su. skip that and just flash a custom ROM. cuz the ROM you flash will be rooted anyway. i've had trouble with an su zip on another phone
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, got it. should i just skip that step or would i just finish the process there. sorry, i don't remember if that's the last step.
by not installing SU, does that change anything? will everything still work?
no every thing will still work its how I got my phone romd and rooted. ok you want to go to stock 2.3.3 not 2.2.1. if u can't find the ruu for the gb stock let me know. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. boot into recovery and wipe everything then install a custom ROM of your choice. if you flash to gb stock from hboot make sure you delete it from your sd before running revolutionary or you won't be able to enter recovery without adb
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, i think i got it. i'll let my phone upgrade to 2.3.3 and then start. should i put the .zip for the ROM i want on my SD before i start so that i can install it in recovery?
yes. if you have cwm recovery DO NOT TAKE AN OTA UPDATE USE AN RUU
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
I am currently uprooted. I'm on 2.2.1. Are you saying don't take the OTA update?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
if your not rooted and have the stock recovery installed its ok

ROM manager doesn't work for us. Look at the development section sticky of Sfhubs auto root method. If you already have root access, run the option with CWM

Oh dude u need odin v 85 and the correct cwm. U flash cwm thru odin. Google how to root epoc 4g touch using odin. No need to reroot but in the tutorial you will find the recovery zip that u will need.

Don't need Odin if you use sfhub's auto root package. It's really simple

Yea u can go that route.

Only one way to find out...
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
1.) Try it out if you're curious.
2.) TWRP 2.6.0.0 is available for our device via their website.
3.) Typical way is using Odin and the BML CWM version.
Root method for FC09 is in post 2 of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006687 in case that didn't work for you.

Still new.

Dont use rom manager

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER ON THIS PHONE! You can brick the phone real easy that way. Should you ever need a cwm recovery to flash something find a kernel with it. Such as agats recovery/kernel. Recovery is tied into the kernel. Stop using rom manager though....seriously.

Rooted 4.3 but no custom recovery.

So recently updated my SGS3 rooted with CF auto root it had one issue with knox blocking the supersu. With a recent update that supersu made I was able to avoid being block and got supersu back. Not the problem is that i dont have and custom recovery I only have the stock recovery. Is there anyway. I can flash or install any custom recovery.

Check out the thread HERE.
So even I am already rooted do I use this? Or do I have to unroot?

Rom Manager does it no muss no fuss! I just done it 5 mins ago. Grab it from the store, update it then it will prompt you to install custom recovery
Sounds great that actually worked thanks
