I've been trying to root my epic 2.2 with gingerbreak and it doesn't work. I've done It before and now it says "Not sure what happened.exploit failed or reboot failed. Reboot manually and see if you have Superuser" I did everything right
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Also, supposedly, gingerbreak only works on phones that have odined to ec05. That's the consensus at least.

Before Odin can detect it you must first make sure your computer can detect your phone. That way you'll know if the drivers work fine. If it does then get a new USB cable to connect it while using odin. I got a rocketfish usb cable and it works better than the samsung one...or any usb cable such as a blackberry's works fine.

When trying to root make sure you aren't using a stock samsung usb cable. Some have been successful using them while rooting but for most it sucks. Are you enabling usb debugging?
I am having the same problem. Gingerbreak failed to run with the same error, and no amount of different cable or port (tried three of each) will avoid the phone not connected message when attempting one click root. I'd love to hear ideas to resolve either of these or other rooting options.
Update - tried the Bonsai unlocker mentioned in this thread, and tried the one click method on a second machine to which I had never connected my device. In all cases, got a phone connection failure. And yes, I have enabled USB debugging, and when I disable it, I am able to mount the phone just fine and see the external memory card, so there's nothing wrong with the USB port or cable. I have a relatively new replacement phone that came preloaded with Froyo. Maybe something has been done to newer devices to disable this ability? Can't imagine what else could be wrong.
thanks,

My bad - apparently I didn't have the right drivers installed. I assumed since I could connect in USB mode without debugging I had the right drivers, but apparently not. Sorry to bother. In case anyone else runs into this, I apparently can't post a URL to help you, so go look for a post on the Epic "All Things Root" forum on Android Forums,
It appears I am successfully rooted after having to reboot the phone once after a failure the first time I ran. Woohoo! Now I can do a true full backup.

The only way I could get mine to work (I would get the same errors using gingerbreak) I restored the phone to factory settings using the samsung recovery mode. Press power volume down and camera button. Your volume buttons are used to highlight the text and the home key is used to select. Wipe cache 3 times, and wipe the dalvick (spelled wrong) 3 times, then reset phone back to factory settings through here. Remember you will lose everything so back up your apps using AppBrain. I ran GingerBreak again and it worked perfectly. I would also get the same errors when trying to odin. Its been that way everysince I updated to 2.2. By the way I am EC05, did that before I updated because I was running midNight Rom.

Ok I'm a HTC noob so please bear with me. I setup adb-sdk environment and windows environment variable. After that I obtained Alpharevx and ran it. Everything went fine and I entered the beta key. But then after
'Beta key accepted - thank you for participating!'
, nothing happens. It just stops. Any idea how to get this thing going?
Did you run AlphaRevx as an administrator ... given you're on Vista or Windows7?
Is the phone in USB debugging mode?
Is the Android software on your phone 2.2.1? If it's 2.3 then the AlphaRevX will not work :/

Yes my phone is frogyo.
Yes it's in USB debugging mode.
Yes ran as an admin because I disabled the protection so basically all apps as admin on my windows 7.
I've read in the AlphaRevX thread where some people have had to do it multiple times before it Roots their phone. Maybe try that?
Thank you. I will try more :O I hope this won't brick my phone. I heard HTC devices can't recover from brick. With SGS you could just odin back from whatever mess you are in.

Yea, I just got mine as a replacement after a year of use. So far I'm happy because the screen is up to par with SAmoled. People always hype up SAmoled but imho, SLCD on Dinc2 is not far behind.
Hey, so I am new to this board. I myself have a Dinc2 arriving soon. My brother just got his. We are both former fascinate owners. After researching and following some how to's, my brother was rooting his phone and he got stuck while attempting to get recovery after S-off. He cannot post, but here is what stated happened:
Hey I'm having a problem with my incredible 2.
Before activating the phone (avoiding the 2.3 update) I tried rooting my phone.
1) I downloaded alpharedex and generated the code
2) downloaded the recovery mode application onto the phone
3) and placed the SU zip folder onto my phone
I was stopped at step 3 because the volume down power button procedure was not working. Instead the phone powered on normally. I attempted it many more times and it would not work.
After spending some time on it, I said screw it, I just want to use the phone. So i activated it and OK'd the 2.3 update. It shut down my phone and began to download the file but it was stopped with a exclamation point in a red triangle. I tried doing a hard reset (volume up and power button) but that did not work. So i was forced to take out the battery. When I powered up the phone again, it continued the download: the phone shut down, it began to download and froze up like last time.

Okay, so yes I know he shouldn't have done this. After consulting with me, I was able to get him into recovery by attempting the volume down + power procedure about a dozen more times.
Should he install the super user package and reboot? Or should he do something now to fix the OTA auto reboot problem while he still has recovery?
Edit: Because he is in recovery, could he just factory reset and flash a new rom? Apparently, when he boots the phone normally it gets to the home screen and then instantaneously reboots and attempts to install the OTA. That is where it locks up.
If he installs a rom it should block the update. Any custom rom will have superuser built in, and I know at least CM7 has OTA blocking built in as well.
Oh, and it sounds like his trouble booting into hboot with power and volume down is because fastboot is enabled. It can be turned off in settings»power.

You have it working yet? If not I would uninstall the drivers you got and then download and install HTC sync. Then uninstall just htc sync leaving your drivers. Then try again. That wokred for me when I was unlocking a friends phone.

deaffob, you seem to be pretty computer literate, if it keeps giving you issues, boot ubuntu from a flash drive and do it that way. I messed with windows for a couple hours, and it took me all of 20 minutes to install ubuntu to my flash drive, boot into it and root.

That is what I was hoping for, but I don't think there is a factory reset option in Recovery that doesn't wipe the current rom he is on.
I was pretty sure flashing a rom with superuser in it would solve it, and it sounds like that might be the answer.
Only problem now is somehow getting the rom on to the SD card. I might have to have him swap SD cards in my phone, add the rom to the SD card, and then swap back.
I fixed it by going to alpharev IRC and got a great help from attn1! He was very helpful late at night.
To those of who'd like to know, this was my situation:
-Windows 7 64bit with admin control turned off=everything has admin rights.
-Fastboot off(tried on too)
-installed HTC Sync's driver.
-tried HTC driver that's posted on AlpharevX's website.
-HTC Sync was uninstalled.
-It was froyo
-Correct HBOOT(obvious because the whole point of getting the beta key was to prevent someone using the hack with the wrong version of HBOOT)
-Tried 3 different USB ports.
-ADB SDK was installed
-JDK was installed
-environment variable path for ADB SDK was set.
-tried reinstalling the HTC Driver twice, each time uninstalling with Revo Uninstaller to clean up registry.
So even after all these, the hack still did not work. So attn1 suggested that I should try it different computer or download the flash version of Ubuntu and try it in there. I tried it on my old lap with Windows 7 64 installed. I haven't used the laptop that much so the Windows was pretty clean and new.
It worked on that laptop. The lesson is, no matter how much you take care of your windows system, I practically baby my computer and do everything to keep the optimum performance, it will get screwed up after some time. I would've never thought that it'd be my desktop Windows that was the problem.
So if you are having a problem, please try Ubuntu as that's probably the best bet.

but there's still the problem of not being able to turn fast boot off, which i think is needed to be able to get into recovery..
get into recovery
To get into Recovery EVERY time, simply do a battery
pull beforehand. That does it.

Yep! And I'm happy I made the switch, the SLCD screen is not bad and has more accurate color reproduction and plus who uses the SAMOLED at 100% brightness anyways..-nobody really lol.
Also HTC sense imho is waay more useable with good functionalities like the ever so good integration of Facebook compared to TW. I still can't get over that since I was conned into thinking that the Fascinate had in-app pictures but atlas it was a link to the website.. whereas HTC has that and more plus notifications!
Sorry I'm just thoroughly impressed especially since this is my first HTC Device. ^__^
Plus the rotating capacitive buttons is just super cool... :3 Now to make it work when using the camera app... >.> Anybody know if this mod exists yet?

You can download a program from the Market called quickboot It allows you to reboot into recovery without doing a battery pull. this is what I use right now in replace of the 4-in-1 reboot menu
I just got su on mine. I am an Android beginner so my experience may help. My system is a laptop running Win 7. I had installed synch and then following advice removed it with all drivers. I installed the htc USB drivers, and plugged in the phone in the proper mode. AlphaRevX will not work. So (this may be vital) reinstalled synch with drivers. Then removed synch. Got AlphaRevX to do its thing at once. So the other drivers must be there!
I am trying to re-root my Epic after flashing to stock so I could take it into Sprint for repair. I plug it into my netbook running Windows 7 64bit and everything seems to install fine except this thing called "CDC Abstract Control Module ACM". It seems to find the drivers fine and even gets to the place where it says "Installing Driver Software", but then it hangs forever. I tried just running the CWM One click root, but it says "Phone not connected".
Anyone know what this CDC is and how to make it install? I have tried a few times doing system restore back to before I installed the Samsung drivers, then started over from scratch. But, nothing seems to work.

mine hung on that too... wish I still had an old copy of the drivers, I swear they changed. Either that, or one other thing is that when I did the same as you about a month ago, I hadnt installed the Android SDK yet... come to think of it, idunno why, I THINK we still need it, but maybe not. Whenever I get issues with drivers installing, I uninstall them, reboot PC, reinstall, reboot PC, plug in epic, let it install drivers till it hangs, then quickly pull out then re-insert the USB in the phone and it sometimes will trip it up and complete the install. Also, now that I think of it, I was having issues installing drivers with the epic running a GB leak, as soon as I Odined to EC05 (using a different PC) they seemed to install fine. Hmmm... just reread your post, coffee THEN post, thats a good tip, anyways, maybe try the different ports on the PC, etc... I think the drivers are the biggest ***** of the whole process... everything else works pretty easily.
Weird I had the same problem I just unplugged my phone restarted my computer and phone and when I plugged it in I had not problems....try restarting both...also what method are u using to root??? And are u on EC05???

I had the same problem when I installed the drivers. Fortunately, I watched one of qbkings videos (where he talks about replacing the USB cable). I bought a new micro-usb cable and have never had a problem since. So really, the thanks goes to qbking for the great vids.
Previously I had installed on my phone (I believe, but could be mistaken) a Twilight Kernel and Hurricane v1.6 Rom. Well, I had nothing but problems with the rom, and put up with them for some time, just because I didn't have time to go through and find a rom I liked and flash it. I decided to do just that yesterday.
Apparently my mind broke and I did something wrong (probably numerous things). I had first attempted to put the shiney new CWM9 with Shadow Kernel on, rather, I made the mistake of trying to just put the Shadow Kernel on after having done a full (triple) wipe on my phone. I got the boot loop for the kernel since there was no rom (duh) loaded. Okay, no problem, I'll toss a rom on the SD and boot into CW3 and flash it? Yeah, not so much. I got a short "Samsung" logo boot loop and could not get into CW3 after that.
So, I Odin'd it back to EL30, thinking I'll just start from fresh, right?
Wrong.
Next in the series of mistakes I made, I forgot that I had already downloaded and installed the Samsung drivers (don't ask, my brain was apparently on leave yesterday) and attempted to re-install them. They did not like this and would not progress and I had to End Process the install from Task Manager. I then uninstalled the drivers completely fearing that I may have corrupted them by trying to re-install and then EP'ing them.
I then re-installed them, or so I thought. Plug phone in and start again with One Click Root. Fail. The script couldn't find my device.
Hours of searching and trying different things later, script still couldn't find my device, though I now have both the phone recognizing there is a USB connection, and the computer has stopped yelling at me that there are no drivers (I believe it finally gave up and installed the Windows drivers for it). But still can't get it rooted or do anything but stock stuff.
So..
1:Samsung drivers won't install, running Windows 7-64 Ultimate; error at end of install just states: "The MMS InstallWizard was not successfully installed SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.3.450.0."
2hone previously recognized USB Debug mode, but no longer. Will only Recognize standard USB connection, and with the connection made to PC, the script will not recognize the device.
3:adb for all intensive purposes does not appear to be loading..per the message from the script "Root was not obtained after 60 seconds. Make sure the phone is connected and that adb is working. If adb shell isn't root, reboot the phone and try the script again." I've rebooted numerous times, but I'm pretty certain that since it's not going into Debug, it's just not being recognized.
I have even tried Gingerbreak with no luck, just continuously sits on the rooting screen, but never proceeds (upwards 45 minutes I let it go).
Please please please please help me fix all the mistakes I did and get this thing working again and get the damned drivers installed proper.
(Baseband-S: D700.0.55.EL30, Kernel version 2.6.35.7, Build number: Gingerbread.EL30)
Note* I am happy with any root/kernel/rom at this point, I don't care, I just want the damned thing rooted again.
And of course after I finally cave and post for help, I find the thread where it clearly states OneClick Root no longer works for Gingerbread...so we'll add that into the mistakes I made...
Question still stands, how do I get this rooted again?

If you are up and running EL30 just Google How to Root Samsung Epic on EL30 and a qbking77 youtube video will pop up and all the links are there as well for the files you need. If you are not up and running then you need to go into the Roll Up sticky thread in Development and click on How to Restore a semi-bricked Samsung Epic....all links are there for that including 64bit drivers.

Okay i have seen similar posts around, and I apologize if this bothers anyone but when I post a thread asking for help, its because I've tried most solutions and have gotten nowhere. I recently bought one.of.these devices and I have to say for an old 1GHz device, its pretty darn smooth! (Got it for my girl who broke her phone. Cost $20 MINT screen, and some scuffs.on the trim believe it or not, fully functional, clean ESN)
I love for all devices in the house to be rooted and off that dreaded Gingerbread android. I have been stuck since i got it trying to use ODIN to flash CWM, and root it to flash a JB based rom. Problem is i installed the drivers, got the ODIN version required, have the CWM tar file, etc, the phone gets detected while on in ADB, normal file transfer way and so on. BUT Download Mode? Nope, i get the dreaded "Unknown Device" issue.
Now as I always read before annoying others, I read that switching the USB cable helps. I've tried 8 USB cables, and no go. 2 Samsungs (i read those are #1 NO GOs), 3 LG cables (device doesnt appear at all), and 3 non brand. No good.
I know Mobile Odin wont work, I rooted it using Framaroot.apk for now, but I need CWM for the rom flashing part.
So now that its 2013, is there really no other way other than ODIN? I tried using ROM Manager, it flashes but doesnt do a thing except boot into stock recovery (miracle no bricks or bootlooping). If I had Linux on my PC, will it get detected or its just the darn cable?
OR is there a specific USB cable brand I should go for that is guaranteed to work? I dont mind buying it just have been waiting to make sure.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Well there's good news and bad.
Got an official BlackBerry USB cable.
Bad is the device is STILL not recognized.
The drivers have been properly installed, there is no updating the drivers manually, effing Windows won't let me. What the hell can I do now?
If only Mobile Odin worked, or there were other methods, I wouldn't be going thru this mess...
Like where did I go wrong?
I would swap out Windows to Linux, but I don't see how that will get the device detected.
Matter of fact I was trying to install a Linux based OS from my flash drivd, and it corrupted it. Theres 8gb Ill never see again...
Any other ideas? Will Linux pick up the device?
EDIT: This USB unlike the others BRIEFLY detects it as a USB Device, then goes back to unknown when I uninstall it thru Device Manager

Are you plugging into a port directly on the motherboard? (IE: A port on the back of the machine.) Using an emulated port or hub can cause this at times.
FYI, there are 2 drivers. One is for when the phone is fully booted in Android. The other is the driver when in download mode. Have you tried using another machine?

I think your issue is driver related. I had similiar issues and updated the wiki with the drivers that ended up working for me.
