help with rooting my sprint galaxy s 2 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Okay so, I want to root my phone so I can get custom roms on it and get better battery life and better performance, so my buddy tried multiple times to root my phone using Odin, but for some reason clockwork mod isn't going onto the phone. We have tried with debugging on and off but nothing seems to be working. Can somebody please point me to a guide that deals win this or a thread that does or just tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!!

Use the search bar. It might get you somewhere

Wrong place to ask question, but for rooting take a look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Then you probably shouldn't be rooting. This is the developer forum not a question section. That method of rooting is probably the easiest as well.

It's simple.. check those tutorials
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be2evusAwOM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZRnH-_XZmM
Install USB drivers...
Get e4gtauto.zip (and unpack it)
Run "RUNFIRST.bat"
Run option A to root device (and follow prompt)
For CWM use option C (and follow prompt)

If that is too complicated for you, stick to a stock rom.

thank you to everyone who replied my thread and to erik077 for finding that other thread and posting it in my thread. cuz it worked. i successfully rooted and put a custom ROM on my device. I was getting worried cuz it took too long for the phone to load. but i still have one more question. for some reason i have a yellow triangle with a "!" in it on the screen just before the boot animation. can you tell me how i can get that off? thanks!!

Oh FFS! So sorry that it's too complicated for you. Maybe an iPhone would be more appropriate? This is XDA-Developers, not XDA-Please-Hold-My-Hand-Because-I-Can't-Read-And-Figure-Things-Out-For-Myself. You can't even read the stickies that tell you NOT TO POST QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT.
Moving this to Q&A where it should have been in the first place - then closing this.

I have no way of getting onto it, could you post any updates you find important? that would be great.
Like I said in another thread: "So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work."
Hopefully I can try this out tomorrow
i was able to get to the # prompt.... but am stuck there. i am unable to cp files... cp is not found. any ideas?
Excellent news!!!!
that gives you root access, but its not nand unlock so you cant access /system (from what i gather from IRC)
after the # the steps are completely different. at this point you have to mod some stuff and RUU to 2.1 and then root that the old fashion way, then flash a new 2.2 rom back on.
... the devs in IRC are getting kinda antsy when people keep bugging them lol. they're telling us noobs to just wait until a full guide/automated program is made.

thanks for being rude. ill look elsewhere for a more intelligent response.
Don't think anyone was trying to be rude. Everyone's a little on edge due to some folks having issues even on stock, thankfully I'm not one of them, and/or issues with the rooted kernels, then when someone comes in here and makes a thread that plain ole common sense or a few minutes of reading would satisfy it probably starts to feel like babysitting a gaggle of impatient 3 year olds...

Follow the rules and post in the correct spot and do some reading beforehand. Will help you find more information.
If you get the stock sprint/samsung kernel it will take away the yellow caution sign/exclamation mark at boot correct?
I downloaded and used SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v1 and I am getting that yellow sign now. Just want to know if I unrooted if it would take that off.
thx!

Are you talking about the one with CWR built in when you say Bubby's kernel?
From here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268037

I thought you had to flash up su in order to get root - or is there another one I'm missing somewhere

Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.
Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.

ZE551ML Bootloader Keeps Rebooting

As the title says, I installed the ASUS Official Unlock tool (and didn't really read it, as you should) and it attempted a boot unlock without SU. The funny thing is, it did exactly what it said it would do and rebooted into the Bootloader. The Bootloader said (and still does) it was a success and that the phone will reboot in 5 seconds. Which is fine, except it's doing that every single time I enter the Bootloader. I can't get it to stop doing that so I can actually do the root and re-do the unlock. The phone still functions perfectly fine otherwise.. any advice? (Yes, I can get it into recovery mode) Hopefully that didn't ban me from OTA.
EDIT: It also turned my boot screen white, and I also tried to use the sideloader, but I already have the latest ASUS firmware so that didn't help. However, in my loader I noticed some weird stuff showing about a MOD_SDUPDATE.ZIP not being found.. I don't know what's that about. It was doing that before I tried to use the sideloader.

dunno what exactly happened, but you can do " Using Stock.zip from ASUS site:" from here, that should fix basically everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
P.S.: your data won't be lost, however your app ache will be cleared, meaning you'll be logged out everywhere. So if you have some game and no account, that game state will be lost.
So I tried that, first with the ROM that's installed on the phone the .97 version. Then with the original version. It appears to actually install the .97 version, but that does absolutely nothing for the phone and if I try an older version it just tells me it can't flash an older version. Should flashing the same version over-top have taken care of the problem? Doesn't look like it did anything. The boot loader is probably unlocked, but I can't keep it in ADB mode long enough to do anything useful and you can't sideload a recovery to my knowledge.
EDIT: I named the file wrong in my tiredness. I did it again and loaded in recovery...
EDIT2: That did not work.
You're in a lot of company... There's a couple of threads about this with ASUS reps also saying the same thing....

I don't actually know what you mean by that? With the ASUS unlocking tool causing it to reboot in the bootloader improperly or the booting of the file from Recovery?
The phone isn't actually "broken" but now... I can't do anything to it without the use of ADB.. Which blows.
EDIT: Also, can you point me to these threads?

Join Telegram group and some can teach you. Try open both new bypass and sp flash tools. After finish bypass, quickly press Download button. If still error, try press Power+Volume Up for 10s, then connect to cable, after finish bypass, quickly release button and press Download.
