Is anyone working on a way for Macs/Linux to root their EC05 Samsung Epic to CWM 3.0.0.6/EXT4?
I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate it =P
No one?

Question for everyone who knows a hell of a lot more about root than me. When sprint finally releases an update regarding the LOS issues many of us have been facing. Can I do an OTA update if I'm running the stock ROM with zedomax's v.3 kernal?
Thanks in advance,

I'm thinking it will remove your root privileges, but I am not totally sure.
Why would u want too. Just wait till outlet developers root it then flash it in odin or cwm. Besides it probably wont flash since u don't have stock recovery.

That's what I was hoping you would say.

I used the 1click root for the sprint galaxy s2 i9100 el29 it worked great but i can not get the clockworkmod to flash, it downloads but when i restart i always get the stock recovery not the clockwork. I have tried every version it comes up with when you tell it to install but no joy
and advice
thanks
I would use sfhubs auto root. if its the one click I'm thinking of I wouldn't even touch it dude. seriously between qbkings videos and sfhubs autoroot it couldn't get easier.
this phone is not an i9100....
that is what it says when i boot it
this phone is sph d710. the screen is wrong. do not flash anything for the i9100
could kinda pont me in a direction of where to go to get a good rom for this beast
sure, right here bro..

Hello guys, my first time posting here. I have an Epic 4G Touch, rooted and all so I understand how to use Odin, etc. So im down for spring break and my dad asked me to root his Epic 4G for him. I took a look in the dev section and you guys have a ton of stuff going on in there and I just dont know where to begin. I watched some of qbings vids but theyre all a bit outdated now. So my question would be, what is the fastest easiest way to obtain root and cwm so I can flash the cm9 beta0 on my dads phone? He is currently on firmware version 2.3.6, baseband EL30, build GB.EL30. Thanks in advance

Odin 1.85
EI22 kernel a.k.a GB3a.tar from mkasick search "epic 4g gb kernel source"
Clockworkmod 5 .tar
Put the phone the phone into download mode power and the 1 button uncheck auto reboot and f reset time nothing should be checked. Put the kernel in the pda section and hit start make sure odin coms and your not using a stock cable. Once down pop out the batter put it back into DLmode and put the clockworkmod.tar in the pda section and have just auto reboot checked. Hit start and once thats done you have clockwork mod. Just download the cm9 beta and the newest gapps 2012304 and place them on the sd card and flash it.
Ok when I odin the el22 kernel it still says I dont have root. To check, i dl'ed titanium backup and it said I dont have root permission?
edit: I went ahead and odined the shadow kernel which gave me root and cwm.
LOL you said you needed it to flash cm9? If you flash cm9 it would have given you root. Otherwise I would have given you an su.zip you never said you wanted to stay on stock

If you still did it anyhow, please do *not* start a new thread. Post here instead if you feel the need:

Bottom line ...
1) Don't use ROM Manager to flash a Temp Recovery
2) Don't use CWM Touch
3) Don't flash a ICS kernel repacked with CWM and use it to wipe any partitions
It's good you asked this question before you hard bricked your phone, but seriously dude, you need to understand what's going on lately if you're going to flash any of the ICS leaks or unofficial CM9.
So stay away from cwm recovery touch ?

My personal recommendation - coming from someone who can't get insurance on this phone - stay with ODIN stock+ROOTED (without CWM) or wait for OTA. FC07 is available to try in this fashion.
so with cwm recovery touch I can flash FC07? Why should yu say stay away from calkulin?

You can flash ICS from GB CWM but not ICS CWM. In fact Calk removed CWM from his latest (FC14) build.
You don't have to stay away from it - just be aware of the risk. And if not sure, ODIN back to a stock GB.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions I'll recommend consolidating the discussion to the "How Not to Brick Your E4GT" thread so everyone can follow a single thread instead of many.

No they have told you don't touch cwm touch and any cwm in a ics kernel . Only flash zips from a GB kernel el26 with cwm or Odin the tar ics .... Always Odin back to GB before flashing another leak or cm9 aokp etc ... Be safe not a brick
Several devs have said don't flash , wipe, or do anything with cwm on ics kernels

You can use it if you want but it's REALLY risky. When CWM touch first came out I personally bricked my phone and was the first of many.
The developer has been contacted and is currently trying to find a fix. If he can't he is considering taking it off market.
If you're using an ICS ROM and want to go back to GB use the factory restore. If you want to flash a new ICS ROM and are currently on an ICS ROM use the FB27 kernel it's been reported as the most stable.

You'll get a brick sooner or later because of it. Don't say u weren't warned. Have fun with touch recovery.

Usually I keep my mouth shut.
Your logic is "I haven't had any problems even though it's known to be involved with bricking,so it must be OK."
This is akin to saying "I know rattlesnakes bite, but I've been picking one up and it didn't bid me despite being told it will."
Bottom line is the evidence supports this as involved if not THE culprit in the recent bricks. Asking the initial question indicates at some point you had concerns. What I struggle with is that once those concerns were addressed you decide to not take heed.
So why ask?
In the end it is your device. If you brick please don't decide to cry foul and run off to get a replacement by lying to Sprint about a failed ota. In this case the fault would surely lie at your feet.
Ok I guess I will stop I wouldn't want to brick my phone I love my phone so I guess stock cwm then when its the same thing but only difference is that its touch lol
