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.

Can I find it in the market? Will it let me riot straight from the phone?

Ok I will. I just tried flashing the beta and it says something about invalid signature??

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 got them here from xda. Can I only use clockworkmod from a computer?

Just tried to use that to flash the froyo beta and it says signature verification failed.

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're not rooted

I am rooted and running Syndicate Rom.

Are you flashing with clockwork recovery or the stock android recovery?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Flashing with CWM

I would delete your zip and dl another one.

Make sure you're in cw recovery it has the green text. I had the same problem. You might need to unroot and reroot with noobs new one click.

Help please

Hello, I am not inexperienced with all the epic mods so I can understand most of what's being explained. Long story short had to odin my epic back to stock. I only had time to root it, not to put clockwork back on from my computer. I'm stuck on 24hr duty now and I have all the files from clockwork on my phone. I want it back on so I can use my favorite rom while I sit here. So... is there any way that I can install clockwork from either terminal, or through stock recovery? Thanks ahead of time.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Ps before I get the why didn't you search. Well I have... I can do it manually through adb but I don't know how through terminal if it's possible. Or hopefully someone can point me to an update.zip compatible with stock recovery

Not recommended - ROM Manager's install method is hackish.

Use the One Click Clockwork flasher. Unlike ROM Manager, it drops Clockwork right in bml7, where it belongs, replacing the stock recovery. No custom kernel needed.

I have tried rom manager. Several times. Each time it tells me it has an error with downloading clockworkmod recovery.

Lol, I would but my entire problem is that I do not have a computer at my disposal. I appreciate the responses though.

Also, I was wondering if there was a way I could use the one click script in terminal?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Oh and I got rom manager to download the file but when I try to update.zip from stock recovery it says somthing like cannot be verified as whole file.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I has the same problem as op. Its best to do the one click root with clock work mod in it. I found it to be easiest after many problems with z4root and rom manager. You will need a computer though.

Thanks for the try guys. I ended up getting to a computer and I'm back on track.

What do you mean you don't need root to install a rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

The easiest from my experience is z4root.

This. Grab the update.zip from the noob guide and boot into default recovery and reinstall packages twice and it will install clockwork and you can flash whatever rom you want

If you're on stock 2.2, this doesn't work, yet everyone seems to spread this method like it's the end all be all.
You need to have either modified 3e, or 2e recovery for it to work. Easiest is to Odin to jfd, then use the update.zip method.

This has been the easiest method for me...

This method worked for me:
Odin back to 2.1 eclair
Then get root with z4root mod.
Then install CWM from rom manager
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

I also used the noob guide to root which involved using the update.zip file. It involves using Odin to get back to stock 2.1, and then using the update.zip to install Clockwork recovery mod. From there you need to flash a rooted ROM to get root privileges. The method is very reliable in my opinion. The "Noob Guide" is excellent for starting to learn things like root and many others. Its in the Q and A section of the vibrant forum. Good luck!
