Ok I paid a guy to root my phone and he wasnt able to.. he was using ginger break 1 click solution from the phone..
so it didnt work..lol im out the money.. and i still need to do it..
here is the info on about phone..
Firmware version
2.6.35.7
build number
GingerBread EI22
ok I need a dummys guide.. some thing straight forward please on the steps i need to get super user and rooted.. I need to tether my phone to my laptop and im not able to as of right now.. a custom rom on my phone would be nice to lol..
thanks
Wrong sub-forum. This is development for developers. Next time post in General or Q&A. Go to General and do a search for "rooting EI22 OTA" without the quotes and you will see the how to thread in the list.

First you need to locate odin 1.8. Then install the samsung drivers for the galaxy s. Next download this Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?opnq0n0pau8cu01. Now open up odin, put the tar you got in PDA. Next turn your epic completely off (pull battery then put back in) and then plug your epic in and make sure ONLY auto reboot is checked on odin. Now hit start on odin and wait. Now when it is done, your phone will be 'rooted'. Now you can download 'superuser' from the market.
Next I reccomend installing a ROM. A good one for starters is mostly stock which you can find in the development section. Put the zip on your sd card. Now shut.down your phone. Next hold down volume down, camera and power until you get a recovery screen. Next use the volume keys to navigate to install zip from sd card and press camera to select. Now do the same with choose zip and choose mostly stock. Now hit yes and wait. After that is done, use the back arrow to go back and choose reboot. This boot will take a while...
Now your phone will be way better than that **** that didnt give you your money would have made it.
If this worked for you, I would appreciate a thanks or donation.
That rom contains a bunch of fixes. Also I reccomend doing the same thing you did with mostlystock with the samurai kernel.
You guys are too nice to these idiots. Not a clue on how to root or rom, and posting in odd places. Have fun bricking your epic, jr.

:edit ok so i replaced the meta-inf with that of the stock base im using and it seamed to install fine..... crap i thought i had made a cool (i guess you could call it animation script) for when it installed but oh well
making sure it boots now :\
:edit ok so it didnt boot just stuck at the sammy screen
so i guess my efforts to make a rom are futile

Not sure.
Try asking the Dev who produced the Rom. A lot of nice people on XDA. Send em a PM, they'll reply!
Fixed permissions I assume? Not sure on Paranoid.

Hello there,
I've recently started trying out the 4.2.2 ROMs - I have clean flashed (factory reset --> flash rom --> reboot --> wait) Pacman v22.0 (which I have been told has updated), BlackLiquid, and the rom by Team Dirt (both with and without Uber kernel)... But all of them have a similar problem. After rebooting and waiting, I always get the messages:
- Sim card has been added, restart to use it's network
- Sim card has been removed (something something)
Often, both messages will pop up one after another. Restarting does not solve the problem and the messages regarding the sim card still appears. I'm not quite sure what the problem is and no one else seems to have had this problem. If it helps, I'm with Wind Mobile (Canada).
EDIT: As well, I can connect to my wifi but it never works : (
If anyone has a solution, any help is appreciated!
I will also post more information as needed, though if logs are required some steps to how to get those logs would be helpful and appreciated as well
Thank you!

ZVB is 4.1.2. If your phone updated to zvb then you were on zv9. And you should update to zvb before root and unlock.
1000's have used FreeGee and not had issues since zvb came out in March.
I just used FreeGee again yesterday to unlock ZVC, so it works just fine.
On phone now, but give me a minute and I'll post a couple links here.

Take your pick. They are ALL very nice. If CM based, go with 4.3 ROMs.
