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.

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.....

Easy, worked like a charm.

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

I would say you need to specify more of what you're doing. I'd recommend installing Rom Manager, then in the Rom Manager app, do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (the app is in the market).
Then download whatever rom you want, like CM 7.1 and copy it over to your cf card. Then run the Rom Manager again, and tell it to 'Install ROM from SD Card'
Realize, as is always stated, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Be very careful to ensure everything is done right.
Bad downloads sometimes abort. Have you verified the MD5 hash of any of the zips before you tried flashing? Also, what ROMs did you try?

Assuming you did everything else right, which seems likely since you got S off, this is the most likely answer.
It's also the easiest thing to try and fix because you can just redownload the ROM and try again with a fresh copy. And ROM's do get corrupted during downloads more often than you're think, so it's not unlikely that this is your problem.
Also, download it from the phone using Clockworkmod. Less chance of the file getting borked on the transfer to the SD card.

The downloaded rom should already be zipped, so no need to zip it. And if you need to zip them back up I think it has to be without compression.
Thanks everybody. Seems like i was making harder then it was. I just had to leave my computer out of it and everything works fine.
CHEERS
I'm having the same issue, but my issue is trying to flash the GPS_Supersonic_FIX_Flash2 gps fix.....i do everything right, i wiped the cache and did a back up, then tried flashing the file as normal but i get this

IF you are trying to flash a Evo 4G Supersonic OS, then why are you posting about in the MyTouch4G section. I'm sure they will be able to assist you more in the correct forum.

Not being rude, just trying to help you get to the bottom of your problems.
For the life of me, I cannot get either version to flash. I've read, and reread this thread (I'm a reader) as well as everything in general - the wiki (I'm a reader). Just need 2 say that before JC is brought up in any response I get. At any rate, I boot into cw, wipe and flash. Each time and I've tried 4 times now, I get stuck at the Samsung screen. I'm on EL30, also have the modem and I'm rooted...I've done this many times bu cannot get this ROM to work for me....and I oh so wanna buy the dev a beer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried redownloading? Maybe you got a bad download.

What CWM are you running? And is the CleanGb build MTD or BML
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I am on ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7
Tried downloading 4 different times
First tried flashing BML - twice
stuck on Samsung screen
nandroided back
Tried flashing MTD
stuck on Samsung screen
Tried one last time to flash BML - had to nandroid back again.
I've read a lot, a whole lot and I still cannot figure it out.
OK, try reflashing CWM 5.0.2.7 first. then do a Factory Data reset in CWM then flash the ROM right after. Don't use ROM Manager. See how that works. If you tried the MTD version then use that one. You may want to Odin back to BML with repartition checked if you want to try that one.

Looks like you are getting bad downloads or your sd card is corrupted. You may need to backup and reformat your sd card.

I'm beginning to think this download (second MTD download) is bad. I totally removed my card - put all the info on my computer, inserted a new card, flashed and got the same error. Gonna delete the download and try again.

WinRAR is your friend. To test the integrity of a ROM zip file, open with WinRAR, click on Commands > Test archived files and it should come back with "no errors found" if it's a good download.

very helpful information. I have read a lot about people having issues with bad downloads. Nice to know you can check them like that. I have noticed in flashing various roms that I have come across some random glitches. Perhaps this could be the culprit. Thanks again.
Users should ALWAYS verify the integrity of ROM downloads using the md5 sums posted by the developer. If you download directly to your phone you can use the "properties" view in Root Explorer. If you've got it on your PC you can use the utilities found here - http://www.winmd5.com/
I rooted my Galaxy s4 sgh i337 installed Rom Manager and Goomanger, ClockworkMod. I downloaded three different roms all the same results. Wicked rom, Goldeneye rom, and CyanogenMod Nightly rom. I have put them on the ext memory card in their zip form, and downloaded them right to the phone with Rom Manager. Reboot into Clockwork recovery and do a clear, and install. always same result, when in recovery with Team Win Recovery, hit Install, select the rom, swipe to confirm flash.

You should post this on the Google Rom forum. But as for the problem, you might have just gotten a bad download. Try to re download it.
