Hey everyone I'm new to xda and I just want to say how great it is to be a part of this site. My question is. Is there a new version of z4 root that works with the froyo update dk28 for the epic? Thanks again.

Won't work; I've tried a while back.
It'll just freeze at the "Acquiring Root" part.
So no, you cannot use z4root to root, unfortunately. However, there are various topics on how to do one-click roots on your phone, with all types of computers - Windows, Linux, or even Mac.

Yes, when using the one click roots, you get a lot of options.
One being rooting the phone w/ cwm redirector.
And another that gives you the option to unroot the phone.
So basically, use the same method to unroot it as you do to root it, although choosing the correct option.
Simple as that

Being rooted does matter. Most of the Devs change you software version to whatever build their ROM is and this blocks any updates from coming in, a nice safety for people who don't know most updates will break root. So unless you are on the absolutely stock EVO or the absolutely stock rooted EVO chances are you won't see this upgrade.

Hey everyone want to say thanks in advance but I tryed to do the one click root on my mac but nothing works on the downlad. I'm running dk28 and I was wondering if there's a step by step video that shows how to root the dk28 epic? Thanks again for your help

There are no videos that I know of and your question is very vague. First of all, have you put your phone in USB debugging mode? If so, then try other USB ports and if that doesn't work try a different computer. That is the only help I can give you. If you are using the oneclickrootandrecovery made by Drockstar it is rock solid and very very easy to use.

Wow, just wow. Please don't respond to any more questions. Heimdall is the program for Macs but most people I've talked to cannot get it to work. If you have a newer Mac and want to continue flashing I would recommend getting a copy of Windows and using it to use Odin.

Yeah, Z4Root worked for me on stock Eclair. It just took a couple attempts for it to finally work. The first time it just sat there forever, so I pulled the battery, booted back up, tried again then it worked.

I found this one click root app and permarooted my epic, try and see if it works for you
Note: Try at your own risk, may send you into bootloop.
People were using that for the evo shift before the perm root came out.

You can permanently root and unroot, just need to flash cwm yourself.

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
Yes i got SU I had to restart the phone to get it to engage.
