In this forum there is the stickied thread for beginners that links to AndroidCentral directions for a one click method.
I used that to get rooted without any issues.
Then I went to the devoper forum and used the How To guide for getting DL30. That worked with no issues too.
1. You need to upgrade (OTA if possible) to DL09 first.
2. Follow directions exactly as stated.
3. After root, install Titanium Backup. Its not mentioned in these directions but its very helpful and lets you back up specific apps. I only backed up my apps that have specific data or were actualy purchased. I redownloaded others, such as maps, etc.
4. Follow directions exactly as stated and be patient.
Now, the first time I had ran the one click, I got the same 'error'. no worries, just run it again. It took me two times for it to run properly.
Make sure you are following directions and have USB debugging and don't click the notification to start mass storage. Just turn on USB debugging and plug in the phone, then run Odin and files as directed.

Yes. It worked just fine. I think those that had errors maybe had DL09 from this dev site vs the OTA or simply didn't follow the directions perfectly.

ok.. thanks for clearing that up
I had an issue with the one click root.
The phone needed to be power cycled and unplugged from the computer during the first auto-reboot and i had to mount then un-mount the device. The mount and un-mount is on the phone after you plug it back in.
Also, I read somewhere on here that the OTA DL09 was pulled due to the emergency call issue. Not sure how true it is...
And, the froyo update was the first time I rooted and loaded a different OS.
So should I keep trying to root with the one click our should I update to DL09 then one click?

You could root with one click then use Odin to flash the stock DL09 that is here in the forums.
OR, just wait for Verizon to put out their fix and of course the latest update which could just be DL30 or a fixed DL09.

Since its basically identical to DL09 but with the 911 bug fixed and I was able to one-click root on my DL09 without any issues, I'd say yes.
Just follow the directions in the stickied thread in this forum for "beginners". It links to Android Central. Just create a free account to see the files.

As soon as your phone reboots disconnect it from the USB. Wait for it to boot up then reconnect it to the USB.
That is what I had to do to get the one click to run on DL09.

Alright, So I recently just moved from an Evo to the epic. And I'm glad I did. The evo was great, But I missed having a keyboard and the epic hasn't dissapointed.
I have a couple questions though,
Rooting on the evo was super easy, I'm still confused on how to use the one click root for epic. People are saying it doesn't work? And I read on some website if you just want to change roms and change kernals just to flash a custom recovery onto it and don't root, because rooting will only let you get root-only apps.
Please? Explain on how to root with the one click root method because I'm Completely lost on how to do this for the epic 0_o
The one click root does work. I followed the instructions and my phone is rooted. I'm new to android and to rooting but not new to modding phones/computers/software. After rooting you can still download none root apps in addition to root apps. From what I've seen most of the rooting issues come from people not following the instructions or not truely understanding them. I haven't flashed to a new rom yet. I'm waiting on froyo. So I can't say for sure but its my understanding that you have to have root premissions to flash a custom rom.

As far as how to root with the one click root I installed the samsung usb drivers for my operating system (win 7 64bit) Note: after reading several posts the driver installation takes a little bit. Click on the installing drivers message to bring up the install window. I let the installtion run for almost 15 minuted and it still gave me an error but after turning on usb debbuging on phone connecting with usb, mounting sd card, and running the one click root my phone restarted and I was rooted. If you search other posts you'll find more detailed instructions.

Correction. You don't have to root to flash a rom I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that. All you need is clockwork recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The only problem you'll encounter, if any at all, with rooting is with driver installation. If u follow the guides tho and don't try to experiment, u shud be good to go. These roots are one click as well as it involves running a simple bat file. Some phones are more finnicky than others, but they shud give u no trouble if u know what ur doing. Good luck.
And yes, the keyboard on this rules
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Probably another stupid error on my part, but my Android keyboard has disappeared. Apparently I am one of only a few that doesn't like the Swype keyboard.
So I rooted my phone, and also am running LauncherPro. It wasn't until I installed LP that I discovered that my Android keyboard disappeared. When I long hold in a text input box, the keyboard prompt comes up.....but Swype is the only selectable option.
Fwiw, I hadn't touched any apps at all after rooting......when I noticed this. Shortly after, I started disabling some apps (never deleted any)....by changing the file names from APK to BAK. I wonder if maybe I just didn't notice until later.....and possibly have disabled whatever file the Android keyboard is in?
Suggestions? Fwiw, when I go to Setting>keyboards......Swype is the only thing there as well. I have also uninstalled LP and reinstalled, for ****s and giggles.
Help!!!! I hate Swype!!!
Thanks to anyone that gives this a shot.
I'm in the same boat. Also tried flashing from rom manager, with no success. Running dj05/.9 superclean/stupidfast 1.54.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You can reload the Rom if it was there to begin with.
Also, why rename BAK?
In the original thread of rooting over at androidcentral it was recommended to rename them with a .old at the end and not change the APK. This way the file stays but no longer shows in the dock.
Also, if you have the files on your computer to restore your phone you can just nuke the stuff you don't want as long as it doesn't have a necessary purpose for the OS.
I am still new to the hacking stuff. I am halfway wondering if I lost my Android keyboard when I rooted. I followed the AndroidCentral thread for the one click root....and was successful. Fwiw, I cannot successfully install ROM manager either.....so I couldn't fix an earlier problem by running my backup from Clockwork.
Should I remove the root, and install another? Again, I am green to all of this stuff.....so the easier stuff is worded or instructions are given, the better. I guess I'm old.

Remove your battery, hold the volume down button and plug in while still holding the button down. The screen should come up with a yellow android guy and ODIN should show "COM" something or another in the top left box. This is how you get in to Download.

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/
The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!
I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?
Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?
You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

Yes, you will need to re-root. Unfortunately I can't get the one-click method to work as I continue to get the "error: device not found".
adb it is.

What do you mean reboot while plugged in? The directions in the one click root don't tell you to unplug during reboot so the phone is always plugged in during reboot. I'm getting the same error with my Fascinate with EA28
Just use the new updated method for DJ05?DL09/DL30 found in the development forum.
Essentially you're installing a zip file with Busy Box and SU in CWM that will give you back your root privileges.

reboot (not unplug) while the phone is plugged into the computer, this often fixes the computer not recognizing the phone properly... nothing to do with the actual rooting process. You have to get your computer to pick up your phone as mass storage before you can even start rooting.

I have tried to update manually but cant. I have downloaded the file from samsung, put on root of card as update.zip and tried to install from clockwork. Is this the wrong way to do it.
I am on all stock and have clockwork installed. I downloaded from the link that has been provided from samsung It says E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
Firmware version-2.1-update1
Build Number-SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18
So is there something I am doing wrong?
If you're using clockwork, you aren't on stock. Last resort is to use the flash utility that Samsung provided. It completely wipes your phone (not your sd card).

Is there a way to remove clockwork besides going back to stock? Also since I do have clockwork installed, will I not get the ota update to work correctly?
I can tell you what I know.
1) The official OTA update does not work with non-stock roms. In your case, your rom became non-stock once you installed CWR.
2) The flash utility provided by samsung will take any epic and clear it of user data and the existing rom and then flashes the 2.2.1 official rom. Your SD card will be untouched, at least mine was.
3) You can always re-root after you've flashed the official release. Do a search in this forum and you can find threads that explain how.
Good luck sir.

If you are using odin try this.
Start odin on your PC first and have it up.
Put phone into download mode
Plug in your phone via usb and see if that helps.
It already sounds like you have the samsung drivers installed, but check to make sure.
