Alright, so I think I have seen a few other people with this situation, and I can't figure out a workaround with everything I have tried.
I installed the ROM and knowing that others had had problems with root, went and downloaded SuperUser from the market, and no go. I try to download the definitions, and a lot of the times that fails. When that gets through, I can't even get root access.
Anyone else having this issue or figured out a workaround?

Read the PAC thread again....there is a link to superuser apk. You must flash in recovery...

ok...been all over the forums on this issue and not finding a real answer anywhere.
Used zedomax's kernel v2 and Odin to root my Epic4GT. Did that fine. But 3g stops working intermittently. Thought at first it was the kernel, but I've read it's not, but that it's Sprint. OK. Meanwhile, I can't get into backup mode with CWM. Not with Rom Manager or manually. I get this error message: whole-file signature not verified. Install aborted. I can't find a sensible answer to this anywhere! So I was gonna unroot and redo with zedomaxx's v3 root. However>>>NOW I can not get into download mode!!?? What do I do now??
Grab a jig off eBay or amazon. Plug it in and boom!

Really?? your reply makes no sense and is in no way explanatory. What is a "jig" and what do you propose I do with it. Thanks for nothing

Google is your friend OP. Maybe if you'd take the time to cruise the forums and learn about your device, you wouldn't have to start a thread and ask a question that has a half dozen threads dedicated to it already! How hard is it to Google "epic touch 4g jig"? Instead you had to write a nasty reply that assures no one will want to help you. Enjoy the freebie cus I'm done with you and your attitude!
@poppygt
If you read my post...I have gone thru all the forums trying to find a solution. But either the answers are just as obscure as yours or else they're so technical that I can't follow it. There has not been one clear answer yet. I spent 6 hours on Friday morning alone looking for the reason and solution. I can't go any further in flashing out of stock rom to anything else until I can do a backup.
I need help.
So are you saying you can't boot into recovery? Look for my thread in Q&A for a thread I started about not being able to boot into Clockwork. XDA member Playya linked me to a thread to flash Clockwork recovery via ODIN. After I did that I was able to get into recovery and make my backup. Hope that helps. I'll check back in a bit.

Pulled Root with Zedo's pulled.tar, the did the EG30 stock recovery. Then redid root with Zedomax's V3.tar. Only this time I pulled my SD card first. I don't know if that is what did it, but...it WORKED! I now have CWM working! Now my only problem is WiFi seems to be broken. Any ideas on that?

I believe that there was a wifi fix in Caulkins ROM thread but make sure you read before you flash it. I'll dig and see if I can find it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Also when you say your wifi is broken what do you mean? If it's disconnecting from your network go to Settings, WIFI, tap on menu hen advanced and set wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The wifi is in a constant "scanning/connecting/disconnecting" loop. won't really connect at all. The Kernel version says "GINGERBREAD.EG30". but if i flashed Zedomax's v3.tar shouldn't have that there? Could that be the issue?
Thanks
I've looked around and cannot find a solution specific to my issue. If someone can direct me to where I can find a solution I would be grateful.
I have a Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S) and have CWM on it. I recently did a factory reset of the phone and after resetting, Titanium Backup (not Pro) is stuck on the "asking for root rights...." screen, even after Superuser Elite asks to allow it.
I've seen things that say to uninstall the updates to SU and I've tried that. I've tried uninstalling SU Elite and Titanium Backup then reinstalling and I can't figure it out.
I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to this, and brand new to this site so I'm hoping someone can help me with this while walking me through it if need be.
Thank you greatly.
Re-root maybe?

Sounds like you may have lost root somehow.

That's what I was thinking, but once I booted up my phone after the factory reset, superuser was still there. Doesn't that mean my phone is still rooted? Not to mention, I've booted up cwm a bunch still after the reset? I'm confused.

To be sure, why not download the app root checker from the play store? Then you will know what you got.

Awesome idea, I wasn't aware. However, I downloaded it, ran it and it verified my root access with no issues. HMPH. I have no idea what to do.
DEFINITELY A RE-ROOT, I say.
Superuser is just an app managing "ALLOWs" and "DENYs". The real issue should be that you lost/broke your su binary in /system/xbin... If you have CWM then easily recover by flashing the latest SU zip package found at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ . Good luck
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Team Epic has a CWM flashable that should also clear any binary remnants and get you back rooted the right way.. You can then flash TWRP and all that afterwards if you want.
epiccm.blogspot.com/p/about-epic-cm.html is the site link...mught help you.

Well, you have all been a big help. I downloaded this latest su zip and was about to see if it was the issue. Right before I did that, I said "what the hell" and tried flashing via rom manager one more time. You guessed it, it worked. All the headaches for no apparent reason. However, I thank everyone. I'm a new member to the site and it's refreshing to see many try and come to your aid.
I download gb08 stock restore and flashed that yesterday and i thought that was rooted but it wasnt so i went back and downloaded the rooted version and flashed it...Then i download root explorer and realize superuser is denying everything by itself.. I tried downloading SuperSU but its getting denied too.. I tried resetting superuser data and tried making it so that it accepts everything that asks it...
So why is this happening? is root broken?

Hey guys sorry for posting this thread. I've tried reading others about the same situation im going thru, but phones are different. So im rooted, I think I'am. I did the RWilco one click method for the sph-d710vmub. everything went great phone rebooted perfect turned on and I have the superuser app. Im running on android 4.0.4 Fl26 (stock). My recovery mode saids ACSRecovery5 v1.0.0.0 CWM5 based.
Now every time i try using a rooted access app. Dosnt let me at all not super user, barnacle, mobil odin, Titanium back up.
I tried flashing roms, saids installation aborted.
Can anyone tell me if im actually rooted or not?
And if so how can I get root permission so i can get these apps going, and I can flash my ass away.
Im really anxious to see my phone full potentials and Im really doing this to change my sg2 theme.
So thats my reason for root. Im a complete noob, but I got this far after almost bricking my phone/

You are not rooted if apps won't pull it. You don't need root to theme. There are plenty of launchers. Since you seem to have a CWM, you can flash a rooted ROM.

Hello and thanks to all those before me who give great advice on troubleshooting....
Here's my situation:
Phone is Rooted.
I downloaded an app a few days ago from the Play Store, so I could move my app installs to the sdcard. When i installed the app it said that there was something wrong " can't remember the exact message " and it needed to fix it. My dumbass allowed it to fix it and here is where my problems began.
Right after that I began receiving a message "Shell has been granted Super User", phone began to run sluggish and the Play Store App would always say it was crashing.
So I figured, screw it I would format and start w/a new ROM anyway.... I did not have any sort of backup (of course dumbass)
However I loaded up the latest version of Odin 3.09 and just incase I installed the root.zip again incase that was destroyed. Then I installed the latest version of OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 ( Previously I had TWRP )
I downloaded a few different roms so I could see what I wanted...However...here's where things get interesting, and I did do some research on it but couldn't find a way to resolve the 1st problem.
When I first started to install a ROM, don't remember which one I was getting a signature verification failed....I had read that it could be 2 things, one the MD5 was bad, I verified that, so that wasn't the issue. Then I came across that it may have been a ROM that my device(Samsung) somehow knew wasn't approved, therefore prevented it from being installed....OK fine...
Next I found a ROM that was going to work via installing...So i picked the CM10.2 and wiped/format/davik/cache...etc... Installation took a few mins...Then when I rebooted, it's been on the Cyangenmod screen for 45 mins +....
Is there anyway I can do some verification that something further isn't interfering w/my installs?
Thanks in advance and any guidance is GREATLY appreciated...
Regards
Erik

Actually I tried that and I used this one from stockroms.net TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131.zip
the verification failed immediately, however, when I checked it w/the MD5 hash on my computer it checks out...That's where I'm wondering if there is something else going on...
Or are you talking about something else regarding stock? If so could you clarify...Thanks
Use sam mobile.com
And flash the mdl fw from there. Also you may have to unzip the original file to get a tar file
