How do I flash froyo beta with out root and clockworkmod???

Hello, I am not rooted and know nothing about clockworkmod. (I have tried rooting numerous times but no success. I'm thinking drivers) I would like to know if its possible to flash it with my epic being stock? I have searched and have turned no results about flashing it from stock. Everything refers to rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can root with z4root couldn't be easier. No PC required.

You still need clockwork to flash.

Do I need to buy clockwork?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

No but I am not sure if you can install it without a pc. Are you using the drivers from samsung?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yes I downloaded samsung galaxy s drivers from here when I tried to root. Never for them to work even with 2 fresh installs. Thanks for the info on the z4root, by far the easiest and fastest way I've ever rooted before. But ya I have samsung drivers.

is it the same driver you get from the samsung website? You said you got them here so I am just checking cause I am not sure. I got mine right from the samsung website.

I am afraid I won't be any help there. I haven't flashed clockwork yet because I am not sure how easy it is to remove (noob) so I am waiting until Froyo releases. Unless I can't find an easy method to install it and uninstall it.

just downloaded z4root and rom manager from market
z4root installing right now

You need to use root explorer or something similar to make the root file system writable (rw) its in read only (ro) mode to start with

Check the permissions and ownership.

Everythings fine now....one advice to everyone rooted....don't use file expert....it corrupts file while copying.......

If you search the VillainRom thread you will see that this is a common problem with the stock browser.

How to change that lib file? ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Using root explorer.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Easy fix is to install "Download All Files" from the market. Works great
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Or you can use ASTRO Explorer and look inside the Preferences for a feature to Download All Files.

Xmoo can you please explain in a bit more detail how did you change lib file in root explorer to enable stock browser downloading.I tried downloadallfiles app from market and astro but still can't download some apk and zip files from filesonic servers,it just gets useless htm file

I would have breakfast first... Flashing roms at dawn will ruin your sleep cycle..

[Solved]Permissions on Root Explorer

I was messing with permissions of apps in Root Explorer and found a check box saying 'Sticky'. What it does? Will it stop the app from being killed when RAM is cleared???
