Can't get phone rooted at all

I've been at this for awhile and anything I try doesn't work. I used the SDK & PdaNet drivers on Win-7 x64, none have worked at all. "Offline" will only show twice after pressing recovery, I even used the vid posted by Kingofroyo and it didn't work either. I tried 2 sd cards also, adb works on my rooted g1 perfectly but the slide wont work in recovery mode. I used the guide by Eugene and followed every step but loop is the problem.

I dont think the sd is the problem or the drivers. You probably are missing a step somewhere. I have rooted the slide 3 times and the incredible (with the impossible root method) 4 times. It isnt a driver problem. Not putting you down but i have done every method.
Can you explain step by step what ou are doing?

I had the same problem but I have xp. Mine would show up only twice. My advise to u is not to use the loop method. I had to type adb devices manually. Once it has been type u can press the up arrow key and it will put the command back in for u all u have to do is press enter. I did that and once it shows offline the second time stop doing that and move on to the other steps. I'll be honest it takes good timing good luck.

Ive followed everything in eugene's guide, this isnt my first time rooting a device. Every step in his post was followed, nothing was skipped.

Same for me, it shows it twice only then that's it...loop is to quick for me to catch it, since it flashes pretty quick.

U will have to try the manual method then. My wife's slide the loop worked perfect I was done in 5mins. Once u get the manual method down it will be cake from there.

-Some tell me that phone can't show "hboot usb" when you start loop
-i keep hearing about this "eng build" but is that for after your rooted..or before
-does setcpu work yet?

Couldn't tell u anything about the hboot. The eng build is after root. Setcpu works but it doesn't overlook.

Nope...It still doesnt work, are you guys using 32bit?
I could try vista to see if it works on there.

oh ok, I know there's just something wrong...It will show it only on the mytouch screen before going into rec mode, it's too fast for me to do crtl+c at the right moment. Usb debug is on in settings, checked it twice.

Manually do the adb devices thing
Also, are you pulling the usb and re inserting it at the right time?

I'm gonna ask my bro to pull it so i can keep typing adb devices, it shows offline about 4-5 secs after pressing reboot.

I hade the same problem but what worked for me was to listen to the usb notification sound on your pc. It beeps (on mine at least) like 3 times. This served as a warning to get ready to hit ctrl-c. I personally hold down ctrl as soon as I hit the power button on my phone. As soon as you see the loop stutter the next one will be offline. Hit c! Then y. Then adb devices. You should see offline (or sometimes already recovery) then you can unplug/plug and go on with the steps. Hope that helps.

Ok try this "remove your sim card" it worked for me for some reason the sim card has something to do with the ability to cache the state of the device possibly do to it checking for a sim lock or something.
Also have patience its all about timing the loop.bat is by far the easiest way.

Can't root, computer won't recognize phone

So I wanna root my phone using CWM3, and I know I have the drivers installed on my computer, but every time I run the root, it says the phone isn't connected. Sometimes it'll take me to the part where it says "running exploit," but it just hangs there for forever. Any help? Tried on two different computers already.

Done and done, and still nothing. Tried on both my Win 7 laptop and Win XP desktop

I've been having this problem too for the past few weeks. Nothing works. I tried to Odin back to the prerootedEC05deo.tar and I get to CWM 2.5 but can't flash any ROMS cuz they say in the OPs not to use this method. Anytime I run one click root it says arm5 bin missing. I've had my phone rooted since the beginning with much ease but not recently. I've tried all the steps here and on every other forum with no luck. Id appreciate any help in this matter. TIA

OP: get a non-stock cable.
Poster above: disable your AV, redownload the one-click, and run it.

TrevE.. Bricked my phone!

TrevE you do great work.. and yea i know that this is my own fault for flashing and im not blaming you... BUT i installed (and bought the pro version) your "logging test app v7" and ran the ICQ remove... rebooted my phone like it said to and now its a paper weight... I gets stuck at the "Samsung screen". I tried putting it into "download mode" and odin back to stock and nothing. It goes into the download mode screen but my PC will not pick it up at all. Yes i have the right drivers (I am not a complete noob). I tried it with odin3 v1.85 and v1.61.
Any advice on how to fix it? Any of you guys know if sprint will be able to tell it was rooted when I take it in for a replacement (I have protection).
Phone specs..
epic 4g
stock II22 rooted

persistence pays off. after trying to get my phone into CWM about 50 times it finaly worked! flashing a new rom now... I will not be reloading the app.. but im not going to get a refund either.. keep the buck, you do great things! But if you figure out why this app does not like the epic 4g let me know.

Did you use this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247108
TrevE develops for HTC devices as far as I'm aware.
If you are looking for the original mod for CIQ removal by k0nane, then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340083

Try removing the battery for a bit before going into download mode. Try both with wall/usb cable connected and/or sd card removed.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359647

First off, if you don't blame Trev you should change the title...kind of rude. CIQ removal is not the same for all phones. You should have read more. Now to restore your phone follow this thread and if Odin isn't recognizing it no matter what then go to post 2 on using Heimdall to restore your phone:

I have had many of issues with odin, from not picking up to my screen turning random colors during odin flash.
You wouldn't by chabce have windows 7 64bit because its a pain with that os for some reason.
I would suggest uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them and it should run through the steps to rehook the drivers for odin, does for me everytime I flash with odin I have to reinstall drivers

Of coerce i dont balm treve... Thats the risk we take when we start to mess with our phones! But his app did crash it!! I sent him a PM so hopefully he will figure it out.. He does amazing this for Android, i have nothing but respect for him! If he tells me he has a problem with my title ill change it..
The first thing i did was take out the SD card but thanks for the heads up.
Odin has never once given me any problems and it now picks up my phone fine.
Thanks for the battery advice! I was only taking out for a minute or so, Ill try it for longer if i have any more troubles.
The phone is working great now.. just had to try to get into CWM about 50 times.

So say you don't blame TrevE yet your title says you do.
Pull the battery leave it out for a say or so and try again.

He should change the title to "I'm an idiot and bricked my phone using an HTC mod by TrevE because I can't read". Much more accurate.

Hi, thanks for your quickly reply.
Yes, i have tried multiple cables, in fact, i use original cable. When i connect phone to PC it ask to "Turn on USB Storage" as i touch it which 5 seconds it gets hanged and only works when i disconnect and restarting my phone.
It doesn't ask whether to use as Media Device or Mass Storage. It used to ask when my phone wasn't rooted, but after rooting it doesn't.

OK what recovery do u have installed? When u connect to PC does the usb connected icon appear in status bar? If so, when click it does it bring u to usb mass storage page?Do u have Samsung kies installed cuz that will prevent the phone staying connected sometimes, what I suggest is removing kies, trying diff com ports on the PC, and try going into phone settings/more settings/USB utilities and seeing if u can
Change the connection, if none of that works then my next suggestion would be to install a custom rom, I can suggest a few if u want, if u have any issues or need more help pm me or u can catch me on hangouts too

[Q]What went wrong with my Liquid Smooth ROM?

OK ofcourse as all noobs do when they start a noob thread they state that they are a noob... Well I am a noob. and I need help as we noobs tend to ask for. I Apologize but I have done a fair share of reading and before I go of and destroy the phone further I wanted to give my own thread a try.
ok...
So I got this ATT GS3 everything was cool from the store but I wanted to reverse Apps (I Tinker with code here and there). Which would require a simple root. Great... Followed the Simple self explanatory TUT "How to root your phone without tripping the flash Counter". Started doing my thing blah,blah,blah. should have been satisfied. (Here is where the Noob Kicks In). Saw how sick the liquid smooth rom was. loved the look was just tired of stock. so I did it. flashed the rom (No Backup whatsoever just exported contact list :crying At a first glance I was in love still doing my thing.... then I started noticing the glitches (mainly video related). got a newborn and could never just bust out the camera and play proud daddy. So I decided to go back. this is where the big problem Happened. My PC doesn't recognize the Phone via USB(I've tried 4 other computers). Ive read atleast 10 threads and they all say I should go in the dialer but no one has a custom ROM. So Now I cant even debug apps on my phone. I don't know what to do?
From 4.1.2 to Liquid Smooth 4.2.2
Please Help
Sorry if that seems long.

Yes Using Odin would be a dream but my PC does not recognize the phone.... so IM stuck. there is a ODIN App now does anyone think I should give that a try?. Like I sed I just don't want to make things worst. all suggestions would be helpful

Do you have android debugging checked under developer settings? If no, try that. Had that problem awhile back and that cleared it. Also, have you tried using another USB cable to connect to your computer? Also have run into problems connecting to the computer because of that. Mobile Odin might be your only option if you can get it on your phone. Just search and read carefully.

ok so I used mobile odin to flash the stock image back on the phone... For Future reference After you flash stock image you go back into the phone in recovery mode and wipe all data (Cache,Dalvic, Factory Reset) I had a crazy issue that side tracked me for about 45 minutes. I got a Flashing Samsung Logo. just put it like this I was already on craigslist looking for another phone. anyway USB debugging still doesn't work but. atleast im back to stock incase I gotta deal with Samsung or AT&T I can prolly slide through

Weird.
When you connect your phone to your computer does it charge? Ive had this problem recently and the phone would charge while connected to the computer, I just couldn't use mass storage. Buying a new cable fixed it though. I'm at a loss.
Maybe now you're on stock try the dialer commands you mentioned in the O.P.. If you haven't already.
Anyway, good luck. if you figure it you should post what you did.
