Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone, and then if that doesn't work try using a different MicroUSB cable. The stock one is crap. Try this and run the run.bat again. Also make sure you are using v2.5.5 of the one click root/recovery.

yeh but i dont have anothr cable and this is the same cable i used to root it in the 1st place.
not sure what the prob was but i was able to reroot it with the clockwork root, now to figure out how to make do what the root is made for,
Sounds like you odined to stock froyo which doesn't come pre-rooted. My advise is to re-odin the one with root/clockwork one found in the dev section

nah that wasnt the case, i was rooted and used the upload.zip to get froyo, and was rooted til tonite for some reason. i rerooted with clockwork but now am trying to find the thread on how to do it.

I didn't think of that, could be the culprit. Try going into a terminal or adb shell and typing the su command. Let me know what happens.

Anyone else having this problem?
I'm using Unrevoked 3.1 on Windows XP.
I've got USB debugging on and the drivers installed.
The phone reboots into HBoot but then never goes into recovery. Just reboots.
Anyone else having this problem? It is definitely screwing me over for 2.2 haha.

Superuser will not install. Unrevoked just reboots the phone it seems... never going into the custom recovery or flashing SU.
Which is my problem haha. I want 2.2 but can't flash it without root.
If I lose root because of this and am the only one I'm not going to be a happy camper lol
Possible
After reading 700+ pages of the other thread I have decided to steer clear from the buggy-beta and wait for the OTA, but I have had trouble with v3.1 and a regular reboot, so I wanted to chime in with 1 question:
Is your phone hot while this is happening?
I returned my Incredible due to excessive heat triggering reboots. When the phone was in the warm-to-hot zone, I could NEVER get into recovery. I could get into HBOOT, choose recovery, and then it would do 2 reboots, the second one being a regular.
Only way i could get into recovery was with a fully charged overnight battery, first thing in the morning (phone nice and cool).
Just got into it. used the custom image... the new 2.5.0.4 (if I'm not mistaken).
It was weird, and it may not be the image... it may have just taken like 10 tries to do it.
I'm not even wasting my time loading the OS... just putting on Froyo right now while in clockwork.
Crossing my fingers that it loads!

having trouble after i got the new ota loaded. I get to the reboot phone reboots then unrevoked says waiting for phone to reboot any ideas didn't have this problem before?
edit: never mind got restarted computer life is good now
I am having the same issue. I have installed the drivers, then when I run the reflash tool it reboots my phone after about 3 seconds and loads up HBOOT and then from there it reboots my phone and the reflash tool either says "waiting on phone to reboot" or "installing image" or something like that but it just sits there for hours and doesn't progress. I have debugging enabled.
To add a little history, I already rooted using the hard method awhile back and then unrooted. Now I am trying to root again and can't.
I know when you install EXT4 it warns you that your phone will stay rooted forever, but I highly doubt that there's zero way to unroot it, you guys can do it. The situation is that my front facing camera is busted through a hardware problem and sprint is willing to give me a brand new one for free but it's rooted. And it's apparently rooted forever. lol Halp?

There's no such thing as rooted forever, unless you want it to be rooted forever. Not sure where you heard or read that. Just use Odin to flash back to stock di18, and you will be good to go.
You can odin back to stock there is a wiki page on out but I don't know the url off the top of my head.

Why don't you just Odin to DI18. You'll be back to stock. Not sure where you are getting your info. Odin is the stock image, wipes everything out. If I were taking it into the Sprint store I would probably format my sdcard too. Just save all your files I your computer.

Thanks for the fast replies. When you root and convert the file system to EXT4, it says you would also permanently install Clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 and root it forever. I'm gonna try to just flash the di18 pda. Thanks everyone!
I can't seem to find the stupid files, can someone link me the DI18 thing?
Here you go. It contains the instructions and files for flashing via odin for a number of epic releases including stock.

I was rooted using the one step rook but started having issues with my Windows & laptop not wanting to see my Epic conected to USB.
When I reverted back to stock it downloaded 2.2.1 so I have Froyo but need to be able to root off my sd card. I tried Z4Root but it did not get me rooted and I do not think it works for 2.2.1.
Any ideas on a another app I could root with?
Thanks
The .1 update to froyo was to close off the exploit z4root used, there are no other apps that root.

Used odin and installed the dk28 tar with clockwork mod.
My wifi was acting like a crack addict...the shakes when I turned on wifi the phone would vibrat and reset.
Put the truly epic experiance latest and installed with the clockwork mod update picking this zip.
The USB is back and working. I am rooted. I can use my wifi tether.
God is great and I am back in business.....
I have a droid x that I went into settings on and did the factory reset. When it rebooted, a screen came up that asked for the phone number so it could be activated. Since there is no phone number, because its not active yet and I didn't know how else to get it past this screen, this is how I left it. Until today, when I took it somewhere to have it flashed to cricket. The guy did whatever it was to get outta that screen. Then he showed me that it would go to the lockscreen. When unlocked, the status bar is at the top, but the rest of the screen is black. None of the buttons do anything either. He said that it looked like it had no OS on it. I need a link to dl a stock rom from onto the memory card, using my m860. Then I need to know the button combination that will get me into the bootloader menu on the DX, THEN, seeing as I'm pretty new to the world of Android, I may need the steps that will successfully fix my DX. Thanks for reading. I greatly appreciate any help that you could offer.

I'm having the exact same problem with the DX. Im in for some answers on how to fix this problem.

I actually figured out a way to fix this on my own. If I held down the home button, I got the option to use voice services, which I used to access "my files" where I installed titanium backup from the sd card. Then used TB to restore all apps and settings. Then viola! Now my problem is I downloaded the gummyjar 2.5 custom rom to my sd card using CW rom manager, but whenever I try to install, instead of rebooting into recovery mode, it just reboots and does nothing special. How can I get this phone to boot into recovery?

Ok guys I have a Samsung Epic running Gingerbread EL30, kernel version 2.6.35.7 Hardware version D700.0.5.
I have read and read and read both here and on SDX, and I'm still lost, also I'm as phone literate as a rock.
What I want to do is obtain root access to my phone without replacing or changing anything because I like the performance of eth phone, I just want to get rid of ads, and some of that good old Sprint and 3rd party bloatware thats killing me. is there a program out ere anywhere that simply gives me root access, without changing roms, kernels and stuff like that?

You don't need to install another kernel to keep root. You just have to remove the restore-recovery.sh file (I think that was the name). You would have to install Clockwork twice to do it.
1. Install CWM via Odin and reboot, pull battery once it shuts off and before it reboots, put battery back in and do 3 button boot into CWM recovery
2. Install su.zip and reboot. Once rebooted it will restore stock recovery but you will have root
3. Use some kind of file manager like ES Explorer and delete or move the restore-recovery.sh (I think that was the name)
4. Install CWM via Odin again and reboot. This time CWM Recovery will stick because that file has been removed which restores stock recovery.
I have done this on my phone and my friend's phone and CWM recovery does stick.
I was told the recovery.sh is not in EL30.

It did on my phone and my friend's phone when we did the OTA from EI22 to EL30. After doing the update, I lost root so I tried to go into CWM recovery to reflash su.zip and saw that it had reverted back to stock recovery. After I installed CWM twice and install su.zip, looked in the filesystem and saw the restore-recovery.sh file was back in it again so I assumed that the EL30 update put that file back in. It was a simple fix either way so I didn't really sweat that it had removed root and CWM recovery.

Since I already have EL30, I'm hoping I don't get any updates pushed to my phone, now that I have complete root access, I can install whatever I want

Well guys thanks, for all the help but I just smashed my phone with a ball peen hammer several times, Google market said it was updating to Google play and it totally screwed my phone up to the point it went back to a factory startup, and since I have ptsd am under a lot of stress I lost it and destroyed the problem, Now I'm stuck with my wifes phone and its gotta go to best buy and get replaced cause its a total pos.
