One Click root will not install, in need of assistance

Greetings, I have this dilemma. My friend has the Epic 4g which was running froyo 2.2.1 I believe. It also had one click root 2.5 installed but still running on the stock firmware. She asked me to unroot it so she could update to froyo 2.3.5.
She backed up all her information using titanium backup. After updating to 2.3.5 she attempted to restore all of her data but titanium backup said it needed to be rooted in order to restorethe data. I attempted to install the latest one click root but I keep getting this message about adb not working and to try again. I apologize I do not have the device in front of me to tell you exactly what was said. I will attempt to install it later on today. I just seeking advice on any other methods to install one click root?

I'm not for sure the one click root works with 2.3.5 to be honest with u but search the forum for the newest clockworkmod. Should be 5 something and its legit for it... anyone else to chime in and correct me go for it

One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:

Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:

Well it looks like my phone is g2g. I updated cwm, the modem, and applied that GPS fix. All the bugs I had with froyo appear to be gone and my phone is working like I think it should have when I first bought it. But I guess that's what you get for going with bleeding edge hardware. Now Ill just what for that cyanogenmod to leave the alpha stages and research some of the other roms. (Or pretend that ICS comes out for the epic haha).
I wonder if sprint will release another update to fix the GPS and any other bugs that are floating around...

No, because the average Epic user on the street thinks their phone works great. I know several. Only us extreme users notice the bugs.

[Q] Loss of root after flashing ?????????

I keep losing root access after flashing 2.3.3 roms. I have some 2.3.3 roms in recovery that work fine. Is it required to flash a new superuser when I flash a new rom setup? If so what order do i flash? 1 flash formatt all zip 2 flash rom 3 flash kernel 3 flash gapps 4 flash gps fix .zip??? I Originally rooted using unrevoked 3 then ran CM6 snap to CM7 to OMGB Fresh ect. no problem. Now some GB roms CM7.1.0 and numerous Sense roms come up after flash no ROOT access.

You have to go to the SU app and enable permissions. You're not losing root.

If SU isn't baked into the rom that you flash, you have to get it from market like hip kat said

Currently my phone is without a ROM. Please help!

I tried following some videos by QBKing77 and some other advice I found on threads here but am stuck and don't want to go any further in case I mess something up.
So far I have flashed back to a rooted EL26, installed CWM5.0.2.7, wiped everything, and tried installing the latest stable CM9 ROM.
When I go to flash the CM9 ROM, here's what I get:
assert failed: getprop....Installation aborted.
I have attached a screenshot. Please help! Naked without a phone!

idk too much about this but i think you have the wrong rom downloaded. It LOOKS like youdownloaded the GT-I9000T version which is not the rom for our phone model. you probably want TeamEpics:CM9.1 Beta.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874374

DO NOT flash any ROM unless it says epic 4g touch you willbrick your phone if you try and flash a ROM for any other galaxy s II

That looks like the Rouge recovery. I'd stop using that to flash immediately.
If I were you, and provided that you can get to Odin mode on your phone, use a one click restore and then do some more research.

Flash calkulins rom. Really any gingerbread rom. Then try it again. I have had that happen to me before too. I fixed it by flashing the rom from el26 kernel. I did not wipe anything before hand. After cm9 flashed while still in the el26 kernel I factory reset the device. Worked fine.

That makes sense because I went directly to the CM website and downloaded for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 because I could not find a link for Epic 4G Touch. I guess I don't know too much about this but I was hoping for something that was a final release and not a beta or alpha. Is that team epic beta my only option?

Btw for being a beta its damn near perfect. I am ru ning a nightly after the beta however. But I remember having no problems with it. Try it you won't be disappointed

This is the recovery that was posted with QBKing77's video. Also, I didn't see any GI Joe type artwork in the recovery.

[Q] Install cyanogenmod with the cyanogenmod installer on 4.3 KNOX

Hi all! Sorry if this is a dumb question or one already answered but, is it safe to install cyanogenmod from the installer straight from the unrooted 4.3 OTA with KNOX? Like will it brick? I know it trips the flags voiding warranty but will it actually brick my phone? Thanks in advance!

Tons of threads on this, to my understanding, you won't brick your phone as long as you don't try to downgrade below 4.3, you have to be rooted and have custom recovery to flash CM though.

Interesting. Very weird it works on stock but not on aosp. Now that you have odined back to stock have you tried to re flash a aosp rom and check the camera? What stock rom are you odin-ing?
Are you also flashing any other mods or custom kernels?
I would try cm11 with just gapps installed and see what happens.
I doubt it's a hardware issue if it works on stock. Do you use any third party camera apps?
Sorry for lots of questions just trying to narrow down the problem.

well there's the TowelRoot option that would require you to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the playstore then there's using Odin to flash any Custom Recover for the D2lte then in that recovery flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip....then the most recommended is using Odin to flash the latest Philz Recovery for the D2lte which has an option to root the current rom that your on, under Philz settings

yes an all matches up. Im starting to think its my device. i was sent a refurb from sprint an im wondering if the previous owner messed with it...

so i gave wicked x a shot an its way kool and the camera works. still clueless as to why aosp roms camera wont work. Let the fun begin lol. thanks for the help guys i appreciate it

I got the same problem with my GS3. Tried several different roms and different builds of those roms that people reported having no problems with and still no fix.
Going to try Wicked X see what happens.

Ive been flashin roms for about 4years. I love aosp but then i had to try wicked X. Its absolutley amazeing. Ive had no reboots, no freezin, awesome battery life, and best of all... EVERY feature on the rom an of the phone works flawless!!! Try it ull be amazed lol

camera works fine on Wicked x. Don't like the rom though. So I'm switching back to 2.37 LS it worked fine on my previous device

I used LS 3.2 on my previous phone, galaxy nexus 4. For some reason i cant get the camera to work on my s3 on LS

Same here, I never ran stock rom on the phone. First thing I did was to root and flash the room.
I'm so use to LS since I ran it pretty much entire time for past 2 years. Very disappointed with camera issues in v3.0. Hope they get it taken care of soon.
