[Q] How to Root FD24 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I upgraded my phone to the official FD24 ROM. I did not root before I did this. I am very new to rooting Android and need to be walked through it. Can someone point me to this walkthrough and the files I will need to only root my phone? I do not want custom ROM's etc, just root access.

Fd24 is not official. Its a leak. We've had like 6 updated ones since then. Check dev section for most recent stock rooted rom. I believe its fe22.
Keep in mind that that is also a leak. We do not have official ics yet. I'm on my phone and do t know how to link you to the proper thread from here. Like I said, just look in the dev section for stock rooted fe22

If you're on FD24 I would imagine you're already rooted. How did you get on FD24?

I don't know, I found some walkthrough video that walked me through it?
How can I confirm if its rooted now? According to the video the ROM was the stock ROM that was leaked, no tweaks or anything?

Check your app drawer. Is superuser in there?

Its the most current stock leak and will get you rooted. Read through it a few times before you do anything.

There's a zip to update to the EK02 modem. You MUST be on the EG30 modem to flash it though.

Just my 2cents:
I think it would reduce the amount of "What if I'm on EG31" posts if a message was put in the OP saying something like "ONLY EG30, NOT EG31, EG12". Lots of people only read the OP, and it would probably save a lot of headaches if it was made abundantly clear from the beginning. Gotta see it from a non-readers' perspective, "EG31 is an updated EG30 therefore it works".
Otherwise, awesome vid qbking. Your other vids definitely helped me when I first got this phone.

Oh I should've clarified. I mean for flashing just the pulled EK02 modem.
Swype was updated so no more mixing letters like A and I with previous words...haven't noticed a whole lot yet but yes the media hub was also updated as you said.

Damn! They killed the bounce effect. I really like the bounce and I'm not fond of overscroll at all. I guess I'll have to hope for a mod.

I'm assuming your really really new to flashing so before you flash anything you need to do some hard research. GB is Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) they are completely different os's that are nothing alike whatsoever. This phone comes stock with GB and will be receiving ICS ota soon. Flashing specific things for this phone can be dangerous and brick your device, so look around majorly before altering your device. lets start off small. First off are you rooted? (is your phone stock?)

He did state rooted stock. Stock GB one would assume.
OP, if you look through the themes, you will see what they have been tested on or made to work with.

They're just updates, the phone was shipped with eg30 then they're were leaked test builds and an ota release was put out (ek02) then another one (EL29). If you used Sfhubs one click odin to full restore to rooted EL29 the you should be rooted with no issue, do you have the superuser app?

Use this to root and install CWM found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Using sfhubs autoroot package would do the same thing as both those steps since he is already on EL29 wouldn't it? Autoroot, roots and then installs CWM recovery right? Maybe Im wrong as to the point your making with both steps.
If you just want a nice theme, you could always download Go Launcher and find one there. Otherwise, use the AutoRoot package by sfhub to root and install Clockworkmod. Then you can start flashing ROMs.

I hope someone can post the radios as flashable zip. Gotta be patient hehe
I guess if u clear the Google services framework within app and press check for update... perhaps it'll work =]… if it doesn't the first time.. try 10 more times. It will say last checked on 1969 ... disregard that

Looks like it is rolling out (or at least starting to).
For anyone who has received it, would you mind looking in the log files in /cache/recovery and try and find the name of the update file (ending in .zip) please and post it in this thread. Thanks.

Just reading through the comments on the article, seems a couple people are getting (Much) better signal strength. Whatever they did it seems to have worked! (Maybe they just poured butter all over the radio code?)

Potentially! Are they comparing them to the leaked 4.0.4 radios? Doubtful since they upgraded and were presumably on 4.0.2 lol.
Either way, someone needs to find the images and make a flashable zip. I need something to do at work, nah mean?
So if I am running Liquid (4.04) will all I have to do is flash the new radios once they are available?
Sorry for the noob question. Just got my nexus last week and new to the flashing scene.

Yes. Radios are compatible with pretty much anything. They are separate from the rom, and do not even "stick" with a nandroid.
OK I'm running the leaked 4.0.4... I'll have to revert to 4.0.2 yo receive this correct? And I installed Franco's kernel last night. Anywhere I can pick up stock kernel?

Just use a tool like Wugs or the GNEX toolkit to relock and unroot.

Don't hold your breath of course. The only reason I put any merit in this is one of the radio versions is listed in AOSP.

No, you are right -- you can't receive the update with a custom ROM, but a rooted stock ROM is perfectly fine. Bootloader lock/unlock makes no difference.

It has a couple different Roms with the newest 4.3 ota firmware WITHOUT flashing the bootloaders. I personally had used LoserSkaters version and enewmans version with no real issues at all (other than I cannot flash my vr theme, but that might be something on my end). As far as being stable and everything working I have no problems.

First of, don't hijack threads, if you have a question start a new one.
And second, this is the reason I don't use cynanogen mod. There's a lot of random bugs.
And third, you might want to update to the latest version of cynanogen mod. Cm7 is pretty old.

Just to prevent any false hope, the configuration for the kernel was included with the T-Mobile version of the source so that is what made porting it so quickly possible. Root may not be as easy. I do hope it is, though.
