OK, wow, hello 1999, the new world of cd burners...
First off, you do realize that a phone ROM has NOTHING to do with a CD-ROM, right?

Again, NO phone's have cd rom drives...
It's technically our fault. We call the Android OS programs, roms. ROM is any read only memory. About as close to rom that they get is static ram with a nand lock. So yeah it could be confusing. Old hand held stuff really had rom chips in them. Rom burners and erasers would would manage the contents of the chips. They still exist in our phone, but probably in the form of programmable arrays which point to boot sequences for the IC devices in the phones. But that's a guess.
So there's room for a gracious over look.
I use an external dvd recorder with my evo. Using this setup, I can easily burn the contents of my sd card onto the dvd. You should try it...

That's quite a stttttttttttttttttrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttcccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
dude, there is no similarity between a cd-rom and phone rom. the difference:
rom is read only memory. cd's are READ ONLY and have MEMORY so they are known as a cd-rom (or compact disc read only memory). our phone's rom is supposed to be read only, but by rooting it we are able to write to it, so it is no longer technically rom, but we still call it that.
does that help?

Yeah, I am not getting discouraged, I have mine rooted and thats all that counts. I wanted mine rooted for performance reasons, she wants hers rooted for visual reasons lol.
First off let me apologize ahead of time if I'm repeating an existing post, I searched and couldn't find his precise question.
Is it possible to remove software that comes preinstalled and is ultimately useless such as Amazon MP3 (obtrussive crud of a app), Samsung Media Hub and Nascar Sprint Cup Mobile (to name a very specific few). Obviously phones are different than computers but the first thing I do wen I get a new PC is to reinstall the OS which clears al the bloatware that computer manufacturers preinstalling but phones do not allow any chance of clearing said bloatware via this method or any other method that I've seen for that matter short of wiping the ROM. I know it's possible using root kits and new ROMs but I don't want to risk my phone or my warranty. I just want 5 or 6 pieces of software to be removed to clear precious memory. I'd accept being able to disable apps so they wuldn't auto run too if removing them is impossible.
Is there any way that any of you know? Please say yes...oh pretty please!

You will need root to do anything like that. Autostarts is a good app for stopping apps from running at boot but it needs root.
It may seem a bit intimidating at first but it really is not that big a deal. Root is not going to hurt anything and you will end up with a much better experience.

Root and then download a file managing app that will let you delete system apps. ES File Explorer is one of them.
Take less them 5 minutes. Heck you get into rooting and flashing different things you'll learn you can recover your phone phone back to a out of the box state in almost every situation.
Just make sure to read, read, read some more. And watch some of QBKing77 videos on youtube about the Epic 4G.

Trust me... as long as you do research before hand and arent a complete moron, you will not brick your phone, its very hard to do. Also, your warranty will be fine as long as you dont overclock your CPU. Rooting your phone does not void your sprint warranty if i recall correctly....just make sure you odin back to a stock ROM before getting service. Make sure buy a different USB cable at the store before using ODIN, the stock cable that comes with your phone junk and will only cause you problems. Get a blackberry cable off ebay or newegg
Yeah and never pull the cable out in the middle of Odin. If it gets stuck pull the battery.

I guess I "afeared" of bricing cause of all the horror stories I've heard about it. I love this phone but it gets old t have to go into running processes and apps and kill a bunch of crap before playing a game or something. I know I'd get more space to stretch if I went back to stock Os but I love the customization ability I get from go launcher ex, it's a system hog though...guess 'll start watchin vids on it, I work in IT so you'd figure I'd be comfy hacking away but for some reason doing anything to my phones has, and still is, a very hard thing too do.
Maybe it is like going in for surgery (which I've done too many times), I get all orked up ever time as if it'smy first time just to find out it no biggy. I really appreciate all the help ya'll are throwing my way. Truly I do, this is my first android os phone (used winmo for last 3 phones) so I'm still kinda noob at this

You could always root it, uninstall bloatware, and delete su? That way bloatware will be gone, and you won't be rooted.

as long as you follow the steps in the tutorials, even the ones from the videos that qbking77 provides, you should have absolutely no problem. study the steps a few times in the videos, just to get familiar with the methods, then apply the steps as you watch the specified video. as long as you take your time and do things slowly, you should be fine.
Videos?
The vids you speak of, are they step by step? What I mean is, does the video secifically deal with the epic 4g and does it show where to get the programs, save them and how to install? I'd prefer to have someone there to "hold my hand" while I root for the first time but barring that if the vids are near that I'll feel better about it. Also, I searched youtube and couldn't find vids for epic 4g for doing this from start to finish.
I did, however, find a plethora of vids about rooting that start from a point AFTER they put whatever files were neded on the phon and have already done something I don't really know how to describe.
The incredibly funny thing is that I work in IT and have for over 20 years yet rooting my phone seems so incredibly dauntng. Much more so than it probably should by what you guys have said. I'm sorry for being such anobbisquet and I truly appreciate everyones responses and help. I've never been flamed on XDA and that is so awesome. Nothing ever gets done when evryone just responds "you're a stoopid noob who can't read so I won't tell you how to wipe your but never mind your phone." Or something as less than helpful as that.
Anyhow, thanks ya'll. I mean it.

in order for you to remove any bloatware, you must be on a "deodexed rom", temporary root only lets you do somethings, but i believe you cannot do that.
ok so first of all im sry if this has been posted elsewhere but ive been looking and cannot find anything. secondly im not sure if this is the right spot but im still gonna post it right here.
now onto the question, basically i had an inspire 4g rooted with ICS which i loved but recently moved to verizon, got a nexus n everything back on the phone except my game data which i backed up on inspire using "my backup". obviously it wont work without me rooting my nexus. im trying to not root this phone unless i truly have to since i dont see the point in it right now since it already has everything i want from the getgo. but basically wat options do i have for getting the data to work on the nexus? i unzipped the backups n everything n am kinda at a lost at wat i can do.
Not much you can do without SU permissions (root). You could try pulling the files you want to copy from Android/Data then pasting them in the same directory on your Nexus. There isn't much value in having a Nexus if you aren't going to root it though. That's just my opinion.

That's just without changing the ROM.

While I respect your answer as being correct: I had a rough time and I tried so hard to read everything, starting with efrant's educational post and all the guides, basics, tips and tricks, etc. By the end of the day I had 12 different tabs open trying to figure out what I had done wrong. It seemed so simple, and yet somehow I ended up having to factory reset, go back to stock and start over, and THEN it took 20 minutes. It was a good learning experience, but frustrating. Turned out it would have taken 20 minutes to begin with, except in all that reading I somehow missed that after you root, the Gnex reboots and you have to wait a while, go through set-up and turn USB debugging back on. I suppose my mistake was not reading through all the guide post replies after the official "guide" post--lesson learned. I took my licks, I suppose. Total n00b, coming into this with basically no knowledge.
Though I really can echo your assertion that it's something "you" did--the unlocking and rooting process is pretty simple. It was my mistake, for sure.

Hi guys, any idea why DG closed the Root Vega thread and all the links died? I found the download from Electron73's thread. But is it still working or we have to use King root or sth to get rooted?
wow guys, Kingo root is very cool. I did it for my N900T. Wonderful. Thanks Dev
Huh I just got my Note 3 and was about to root it. What's the story with de la Vega, is that not the optimal way to root anymore?
Apparently flashing one file via Odin was to complicated for people around here, they wanted a program that will hold their hands every step and tell them it'll be alright. Root de la Vega still works great, I've done it on three Note 3's, never had an issue.
Ehh, guess I'm just a grumpy old man, 4 years ago you needed to know what you were doing to root a phone, now there's these newfangled one-click roots these kids are doing nowadays and people go doing stupid stuff to their phones without knowing what the hell they're doing, then screw up and come running here for help. 90% of the problems you see are things that could easily be avoided if they had only read the op.

I hear ya, but as Android continues growing more mainstream, rooting and ROMs isn't just for geeks (should it be?). Even CyanogenMod is now addressing its "#1 problem" by developing a Windows & Mac GUI root & installer (but no linux, yet)
I've run Linux in some or another (NetBSD, FreeBSD, RedHat, Fedora) as my primary desktop for almost 2 decades, but lately even here it's gotten noobified with Uboontoo elbowing in. I was able to root my Galaxy S1 and Kindle Fire without even booting Windows, but my S3 and Note3 needed ODIN in Windoze because Heimdall (for linux) isn't maintained as much anymore, sadly.
It's just the direction things are going.
Now, ..... YOU KIDS TURN THAT MUSIC DOWN!
What does it mean that RDLV closed?
Is that mean that it cannot be used anymore or the links are already dead? i just root my Note 3 last November 13, 2013 using the RDLV method and it work perfect for me. I just want to know what does it mean that it closed?
My best guess is the one click guys bought him out

Once you have rooted, you don't need to do it again.
He closed the thread because his method was too complicated for people who don't want to bother to read before making that type of change. He had actually come up with a more generic version of the same, but was getting bombarded with people asking how rather than reading how.
Once the one click methods became available, there was no point in continuing to support the other method as they did the same thing. Again, something you normally only do once.
The issue with the IMEI makes sense to me, and unfortunate that they did that, but I don't think it was for an nefarious purpose. The Vroot method was more of a concern to me since the Interface and output was in Chinese and I would prefer to see what it is saying rather than make assumptions.
Right now, I would if ask tell someone to use the Kingo Root method if they needed to root now. I saved the De La Vega root files for both T-Mobile and Verzion when I first saw them in case that I was going to do it at work, but ended up using them while at home.
No big deal in either case.

The issue with the IMEI makes sense to me, and unfortunate that they did that, but I don't think it was for an nefarious purpose. The Vroot method was more of a concern to me since the Interface and output was in Chinese and I would prefer to see what it is saying rather than make assumptions.
Right now, I would if ask tell someone to use the Kingo Root method if they needed to root now. I saved the De La Vega root files for both T-Mobile and Verzion when I first saw them in case that I was going to do it at work, but ended up using them while at home.
No big deal in either case.

Thanks for the response. But the RDLV Method doesn't have a malware right? I don't mind reading before performing this kind of things but if you don't mind, if you'll be asked which method do you prefer? The RDLV or the one click root sir?
I ended up going with the one click root because it was extremely easy and literally only took me 30 seconds. Also I planned on getting a custom recovery and rom in the future so the knox count would had gone up anyway.

None of the processes have malware. Malware is where something is put onto your computer or device which continues to do things.
These are simply rooting your device.
The issue was in doing the rooting process, Kingo Root appeared to be collecting the IMEI number from the phone. After it was rooted, there was nothing on your phone other than the files necessary for root (busybox, SuperSU) ... no malware.

Kind of odd for them to be collection IMEI numbers isn't it?

Exactly what I was thinking

Regarding root methods, why does there only need to be one? This isn't Highlander! What happened to choice?
