z4root

Does anyone know if z4root is compatible with the Epic 4G? If so is it as good/as safe as the 1-click root method?

Why not just 1-click root it ?

I did use one-click root personally, but I've had other users on another forum ask if they could use this as they wanted to root without using a computer. And I'm always open to another root option - just wanted to get the developers' opinions on it.

Haven't tried. You can be the first to do so but I don't see why not

I just used it on my epic running stock eclair...works great, since all other forms of rooting failed for me. A+++

Just make sure your have debugging on, aswell as switching to stock launcher--if using launcher pro or adw etc.

I literally just used it 2b minutes ago to root from stock and its was quick. Took me about 7 minutes to root and reboot.

Strange, I just tried it on my stock Eclair too but didn't work, it got stuck "running the exploit". It changed once to "saving file" but it returned to the previous state and just hung there. I forced rebooted my phone (aka take the battery out) and tried it again, no luck for me in the end.....

I used z4ROOT to uninstall root on my 2.1 stock rom.
works instantly quick.

Easy, worked like a charm.

root and unroot on stock epic worked fine!
Need a little help here so I don't screw up.
installed ROM manager - download clockworkmod 2.5.1.0
tried to backup Current Rom
goes to Backup Name Window with date.time
click ok
phone goes to Install from package
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
e:failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
Installation aborted:
I use the select reboot option, reboot and back to where I started.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for an assist.

Rom manager will not work on the stock kernel on the epic- I wish that Rom manager included that in the support notes- you need a custom kernel - your best bet is to install noobnl clockworkmod

Thanks for the tip. Off to try noobnl clockworkmod.

I have tried EVERYTHING to get into ClockworkMod with no luck. At first I tried rom manager and when I found out it wouldn't work I uninstalled it and downloaded tried to use one click and the 3 finger method and no green :-( I'm positive I'm rooted because z4 said I'm rooted, I can take screen shots, I have setcpu, I have titanium backup, root explorer, you get the point and the are all running without problems. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? I am the first to admit I'm a total "noob" as you all call it when it comes to anything involving technology but I want to try and theme. I also had previously tried one click root on both my windows pc and my pc running linux. I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious lol.
PS yes I have superuser and it grants permission when running root apps also I sucessfully installed busybox if that matters...I'm just dirt duh der I'm sure
I already backed everything and returned my phone to stock again and that didn't help. It gives me the same message at boot up as the poster above if it matters

I had this problem as well. I ended up having to download and use the super one click root method that has clockworkmod recovery built in. make sure you have the sdk installed and place the unzipped one click folder in the tools folder of the sdk. Also download the correct drivers for your computer. I originally rooted with z4root and was in the same boat as you, you can check out the thread I started to get the answer just search ( can I flash froyo beta with out root or clock work???) Shouldn't be to hard to find. Good luck. If you need any help pm me.

Thank You
I gave up. I just wanted to get better battery life and have more options for customizing but it isn't looking hopeful at this point. Both of my desktops and my laptop had some issue causing me not to be able to install ClockworkMod. I am not computer savey and for sanity reasons I said **** it.
I'm sure ill get a hair when I'm not fed up...
Is it normal that when my phone is in usb dubugging that it pops up an error and won't allow me to connect my usb to a computer? Its a new thing. Everything is backed up on 2 different computers so I think I'm going to try and return my Epic to stock. Maybe that will help, maybe not
Thanks again for trying to help

Did you download the drivers with the one click root?

Can't install anything

Anyone else having trouble installing anything. I have trying cyanogenmod and skyraider. Both wont let me install apps. Yet I can on my stock rom. I am rooted. This all started when I got the ota update popup.

Do mean anything, or is it only specific apps? There is a way to disable the update pop up, so if you don't want that to pop up (assuming it still is...) do a search to disable that.

Can't install anything. What I ended up doing was installing stock letting the ota update then rerooting. But it still wont let me install anything when on another rom. Just my rooted stock.

Before installing another ROM, did you do a full wipe of user data and dalvik cache? So if you go into the Market, does it download then say that it couldn't install? Did you try clearing the Market cache?

also...sometimes you have to unmount the SD card, install app, mount SD card. I have no idea why, but thats what i need to do for a lot of apps....quite a pain

Tried remounting sd card. Still same weird bug. All I can use is stock rom. Thanks for trying to help guess I'm stuck for now.

Ok now im having problems with themes from the toolbocks. I click on the theme I want and it says downloading and installing then looks like its rebooting then its looks like its installing it but then it says aborted. I then need to select the reboot phone to get back
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

It will reboot the phone and go in to recovery mode and install the theme on it's own. If the installation aborted that means the download didn't finish right.
Once your phone is booted up go in to the file manager and in the liberty folder there is a downloads folder, click on it and you will see the different themes that you downloaded. The ones that don't work but are listed there need to be deleted so you can redownload and attempt the install again.

I wanted to add, you are much better off downloading the themes while connected to wi-fi then 3g.

It worked thank you. I think I just didn't let it download all the way

Glad to hear you got it working. I had the same problem the first time I tried switching themes and realized what it was and what needed done.

Restart (Reboot) During screen off

Been asking this problem in some threads...still didn't get enough answer. Now I'm making this one in order someone who has the same problem can give me a clue or something...
Here's the thing. As the title said itself. I have problem with random reboot during the screen off. I used Karma and AuroraSp Romance. Yes screen off, I mean when I'm not playing with the phone or even touch it the phone reboot itself in a couple of hours or maybe minutes. The worst thing is the phone didn't wake up, so I had to press the power button. I thought the restart problem was caused by heavy use but not in my case.
What I've done to solve the problem (that I know as a noob) were :
- clean cache and fix permission.... failed
- change the roms couple of times with clean installed....failed
- change the recovery with the latest one and again did a clean install.... failed
Please anyone? Is it Rom related or just my phone getting old?
Thanks in advance
Regard

How to track down the error using the logcat by terminal emulator? Maybe I can find the cause of the reboot problem...
Anyone?
